The torches were running out, and the snakes were chirping louder and louder.

Wang Xijia felt as if he was surrounded by Xiang Yu, and there were Chu Ge on all sides

It doesn't matter, let's fight it dead or alive. Wang Xika hated the feeling of being surrounded, and walked into the group of snakes with a torch.

The snakes avoided them as if they had seen dinosaurs.

"Oh, why is this? Could it be that my kingly spirit has persuaded these cobras to quit?" Wang Xijia quickly rejected this idea of middle two, and soon discovered why these snakes did not dare to attack him, because he was wearing a dragon robe.

This dragon robe is made of the skin shed by the dragon, and it is covered with dragon scales and the scales of the "fire god" Akede. The "Vulcan" Akede is just that, the key is the dragon scales.

Some dragons are cultivated by snakes, and legend has it that the little snake cultivates for thousands of years to become a python, and the python cultivates for thousands of years to become a dragon. This dragon is the equivalent of the snake king of the snake kings.

Although rattlesnakes are venomous, they are just small snakes in terms of size. How can the little snake not be afraid when he sees the snake king?

After discovering the rattlesnake's awe of dragon scales, things are easy to do. Wang Xijia took off the scales on the dragon robe one by one and distributed them to everyone, and covered the rest of the entire dragon robe on the gray beaver who was bitten by the snake. Each of them held a few dragon scales and slowly moved towards the outside of Death Valley with the gray beaver and the unconscious tengu.

Rattlesnakes were buzzing, but none dared to step forward and challenge the scales. In fact, these scales have no mana, they are just decorations. But for snakes, scales are even more intimidating than torches.

This is the strength of the "deterrent power", the dragon scales without any power can scare off tens of thousands of rattlesnakes just by relying on the ethereal "deterrent power", which is really funny to think about.

It's as if Zhuge Liang can scare off Sima Yi's thousands of troops by playing a guzheng in the city tower. In fact, as long as Sima Yi waved his hand, as soon as the army came up, it would be found that Zhuge Liang was just bluffing. However, Sima Yi didn't dare, because he had a psychological barrier and was afraid of fraud.

If the rattlesnake swarmed up, it would be found that the scales were not lethal at all, and it was impossible to cause any damage to them. However, rattlesnakes did not dare—they were afraid that these dragon scales would suddenly turn into divine dragons, something that was engraved in their instincts and could not be provoked.

This fear is akin to a psychological disorder. It's like a patient with fear of heights who can't help but feel soft and panic when he stands on a tall building, in fact, there is nothing to be afraid of, but he is afraid.

Wang Xijia naturally didn't plan to help this group of rattlesnakes overcome their mental obstacles. At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind: to launch Death Valley, find the cactus, heal the gray beaver's wounds, and restore the tengu to health by the way.

I was originally out to play, so there was no need to fight with this Death Valley - can't you hide if you can't provoke it? Come out to mix, or can't "head too iron." ”

Wang Xijia slowly retreated with the gray beaver and tengu, and the snakes followed them, but they didn't dare to approach. Dragon scales are like a "water-repellent pill". Everywhere they went, the snakes receded like a tidal wave.

Taniguchi slowly approached, and victory was at hand. Wang Xika also breathed a sigh of relief. As the sun sets, the red glow on the horizon is also very beautiful. This indicates good weather in the next few days: the so-called sunrise does not go out, and the sunset travels thousands of miles. At least it won't rain tomorrow or tomorrow.

Of course, it rarely rains in the desert

Suddenly, a colorful glow quickly moved in front of Wang Xika's eyes, and Wang Xika saw that the red that had gathered in the sky was not the sunset, but a group of big birds.

The bird had a wingspan of more than 30 meters and flew up to cover the sky. Wang Xika had never seen such a big bird. The bird was blood-red and had a beautiful crest of feathers on its head, as if it had a flame on its head.

It is important to know that the crest is particularly important for the appearance of birds, and the larger and straighter the crest, the more popular the rooster. The same is true among woodpeckers and peacocks, where the crest of the feather is like a status symbol. If you were a bird, you would never bother with those birds with big crests.

It's as if as a normal person, you will definitely not trouble someone who has particularly developed biceps and pectorals.

In addition to the domineering feather crown, the bird's beak is also particularly handsome, shining like a sharp blade. Just take one look at it and you'll know you can't afford to peck it.

The feathers on this bird's body are also blood-red, and its wings are especially wide, which reminds you of a saying when it flies: "One of them is like a cloud hanging from the sky." Its wings are indeed like the sunset on the horizon, and it flies as if there is a fire circling around it.

The giant bird's tail is as long as a peacock's tail, and even bigger and longer than a peacock's tail, and there is no doubt that if this bird opens its screen like a peacock, it will be very domineering.

The bird flew from the sky, looking so distinct, so outstanding, like a firefly in the night sky. Its domineering crown, handsome beak, wide wings, and long tail all deeply fascinated Wang Xijia.

Wang Xijia, a big guy who has wings and flies in the sky, has also seen a lot: "Snake God" Haken and "Fire God" Akede are also extremely domineering when they fly. But no other large flying creature has the imposing imposing of this bird. Even the Kunpeng Beast's Peng form is slightly inferior.

"What kind of bird is this? Am I dazzled?" asked Wang Xika, looking at the bird.

"This is Phoenix! It's a legendary beast, and we'll be saved when this bird comes!" Bloodfang said excitedly.

Why is this name so familiar? Wang Xika always felt that he had heard of this name somewhere, but he couldn't think of it.

It was a familiar thing, but I couldn't remember the most painful thing. Sometimes you concentrate on something but you can't think of anything. But when you're busy with other things, you can remember.

Originally, he didn't have to think about it if he couldn't think of it, but this time Wang Xijia didn't, he couldn't think of it, so he thought about it - and finally came up with it.

Phoenix, a city in the United States in later generations, was the capital of Arizona. There was once an amazing player on the Phoenix team in the NBA named Nash......

These memories of past lives are interesting, but the most important thing is the real name of "Phoenix". Phoenix is transliterated from the word "Phoenix", which translates to Phoenix.

The phoenix, a magical bird, is just like the "Divine Dragon", just a legend. Although the animal is often seen in film and television works and video games, no one has ever seen it in reality.

The phoenix is not the same as the "dragon". The dragon only exists in East Asian legends with the Chinese civilization as the main body. However, the phoenix, a sacred bird, not only exists in the Chinese civilization, but also exists in the legends of European civilization and American civilization.

Although the image of the phoenix is slightly different in different civilizations: for example, in the Chinese civilization, the phoenix is believed to be two kinds of birds, the phoenix is a male bird, the phoenix is a female bird, and the phoenix likes to live on the plane tree.

In Western civilization, the characteristic of the phoenix is that it does not die, and every time it dies, it will be reborn in Nirvana.

But the image of the phoenix left behind in different civilizations is strikingly consistent: it is this bird with a fiery red crown, wide wings and a long tail.

Previous scientists believed that the reason why every civilization had a phoenix was because every civilization had a "pheasant", and the pheasant was an animal that became a phoenix after beautification. Then the various civilizations made up some magical skills for the pheasant, thus forming the image of the "phoenix".

Wang Xika once agreed with this concept, believing that the phoenix is a pheasant, and there has always been a saying among the people that "a pheasant becomes a phoenix"?

But seeing the phoenix with his own eyes today, Wang Xijia realized that his previous views were all wrong - a pheasant is a pheasant, a phoenix is a phoenix, and these two are different birds.

Seeing this phoenix floating over like a fiery red cloud, Wang Xijia suddenly remembered a poem that Yang Zirong chanted when he first arrived at Weihu Mountain: The northwest Xuantian is cloudy, and the crows fall on the phoenix group. The table is full of heroes, who is the king and who is the minister?

It's just that now the situation is not "crows fall on the phoenix group", but "phoenixes fall on the wild snake group".

The phoenix on the horizon rushed directly into the group of snakes and began to peck one with its beak like a hen eating an earthworm, and then raised its head high and swallowed the rattlesnake.

And then the second, and the third...... After pecking, he simply pecked five at a time and swallowed it in one bite. The lightning-fast pecking speed made Wang Xijia stunned - eating like this is a huge pressure on Phoenix's digestive system!

The phoenix seemed to be responding to Wang Xijia's idea, and after eating a few rattlesnakes, he began to gulp down the sand.

It turns out that as a bird, the phoenix also has a sac like a domestic chicken. I usually eat some sand or small stones, and put these things in the sac to help grind the food and help digestion.

The rest of the rattlesnakes were still frantically shaking the tail ring on their tails, making loud noises. It's just that this sound is different from the previous snake group besieging Wang Xijia and his gang.

The previous snake chirp was a domineering demonstration, a love of food, and an expression of wildness. The serpent's cry at this time is a mourning, an elegy to despair.

However, the phoenix continues to eat the rattlesnake like a chicken eating rice. The chick will not have any mercy for the rice, and the phoenix will not have any mercy for the rattlesnake.

In fact, birds have always been the natural enemies of snakes, and if you don't talk about eagles in the wild, an ordinary domestic chicken can deal with a snake.

It is only because of the magnetic field of Death Valley that ordinary birds cannot enter, so that the snakes can breed here. But the phoenix is obviously not a mortal bird, and the magnetic field of Death Valley does not affect its sense of direction at all.

Usually, the rattlesnakes in Death Valley are also relatively low-key, hiding in the sand when they have nothing to do, and the phoenix is too lazy to come. This rare large-scale gathering of snakes attracted the phoenix to a hearty buffet.

Although the phoenix is the natural enemy of the rattlesnake, the rattlesnake does not want to be caught like a dish, and always has to resist. The rattlesnake has a fierce temper among snakes, which can be seen from the fact that they bite even after they die.

"What's wrong with the natural enemy? The big deal is death, willing to cut his whole body, dare to pull the emperor off the horse!"

Seeing that his compatriots were eaten as dinner by the phoenix on a large scale, the stubborn wild snake temper of the remaining rattlesnake came up. They jumped on the phoenix and began to bite it, injecting themselves full of poison into the phoenix's body.

"Hehe, the value is beyond one's own power, how could the phoenix be harmed by your poison? Since the phoenix dares to come down and eat you, it must be immune to snake venom!" Wang Xika, who was standing on the sidelines watching the phoenix finish eating, sneered.

He was laughing at the rattlesnakes, as if he were laughing at a group of mayflies that wanted to shake the trees. Who knew that before Wang Xika finished laughing, the phoenix fell to the ground because of an overdose of poisoning.

His feet twitched a few times, and he died.
