Book 1: The Earth Demon Prince Chapter 174: Firebird
The flames here were surging and churning, and the fiery red light was shining, and the sight could only see a few zhang in front of him, and even the soul thoughts could only spread out about twenty zhang. Suddenly, Yeyang frowned, his pace stopped, Huang Xifeng looked at him in surprise, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Yeyang shook his head: "It's nothing!" Just now he seemed to feel something in the scorching flames rushing through, but when he felt it carefully, he found that there was nothing.
The two continued to move forward, and suddenly, Yeyang punched out, and Yuan Sha wrapped his fist and hit a flame, the flame shook a few times, and quickly returned to normal.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Huang Ximo felt inexplicable for a while, Yeyang made a silent movement, stood quietly in place, and his eyes swept around like a torch. After more than a dozen breaths, he suddenly shot out at a gallop and kicked at a flame two feet away from Huang Xifeng.
The flames trembled violently, making a strange "crunch" cry, and then quickly changed, turning into a ten-zhang wide fire-red bird, the firebird spewed a flame to the night sun, and pounced on the phoenix Ximo next to him with teeth and claws.
Huang Ximo was taken aback, hurriedly took a few steps back, turned around, and appeared five zhang away, dodging the attack of the birds.
The night sun's eyes were fast, and he walked without a shadow, flashed the flames, and flew up with another kick, kicking the firebird's body, and the firebird fell with a scream. Yeyang stepped on its wings with one foot, and the ninth style of the Kaishan Fist fell fiercely, beating the firebird to pieces.
Splatters of blood and torn corpses were burned to ashes by the flames, and a drop of fiery red crystal blood floated three feet above the ground. The drops of blood were crystal clear, like a flawless piece of red jade, burned by the flames, but not a single inch could be damaged.
"What is this?" Night Sun's eyes flashed with surprise, and he reached for the drop of blood.
Unexpectedly, as soon as his hand touched the blood droplets, the blood drops suddenly rushed into his eyebrows, turning into wisps of red blood, rushing towards the four hundred bones, refining his muscles and flesh, and in just a dozen breaths, he felt that the strength of his flesh had increased by one point, and the burning pain caused by the flames outside had also been reduced by one point.
"Brother, brother, how are you, are you okay?" Huang Ximo saw the blood dropping into Yeyang's eyebrows, he stood still, screamed in fright, and hurriedly shook Yeyang's body.
"Stop, stop, I'm fine, sister, don't shake, I'm about to see two of you. Yeyang glanced at him and said angrily.
"Stinky boy, you scared me to death just now. Huang Ximo was relieved, and slapped him on the head in anger.
Yeyang was not angry, knowing that she was for her own good, so she began to tell about the situation she had just encountered, and finally, he also complained: "Uncle is too capable of tricking people, and he is talking about some weak things, and now he has just walked here, and he has met a big bird comparable to a three-grade beast." ”
Huang Ximo furrowed his slender eyebrows, and said worriedly: "No, according to the accounts of the people who came to the ancestral land before, the highest brute beast here is only about the fourth grade, and there will be no such blood droplets after death, and the flames are not so hot, could it be that something happened that we don't know?"
When Yeyang heard this, the joy just now also turned into worry, but thinking of the importance of this mission to the Heavenly Demon Kingdom, plus that they had already come here, it was not easy to return the same way, so the two of them stubbornly walked on.
After walking about a hundred zhang distance, another firebird lurking in the flames was discovered by Yeyang, and Huang Ximo feathered a fan, like a sharp sword, directly cut the firebird in half.
In this world of flames, there is no apex of all things, everywhere is a fiery red, the flames burn endlessly, and there is no knowledge of the passage of time.
During this time, Yeyang and Huang Ximo slashed the firebird, used blood droplets to alleviate the burning of the flames, and strengthened their physique, while picking fire-attribute medicinal materials along the way, and continued to move in the direction of the ancestral land.
Tasting the sweetness of the firebird's essence blood, the fear and unknown in the hearts of the two were alleviated a lot, and at the same time, they also discovered a strange thing. The general appearance of these firebirds, that is, a fiery red fat swan, and as their strength increased, the posture of these firebirds gradually changed.
The head becomes smaller, the crown of the head becomes taller, the beak becomes pointed and longer, the neck becomes slender, the body becomes light and slender, the wings become wider and wider, the claws become thin and sharp, the feathers become longer, and the tail wings bifurcate and lengthen, just like a tough wire ribbon.
Even the voice has changed from hoarse and harsh to tactful and pleasant, more extraordinary, and more fierce and powerful.
"Woo ......" a firebird shaped like a white crane, with a feather crown on its head and three slender tail wings, broke through the flames with a light body, and swooped down on the two people on the ground in horror.
"You said that this firebird has been changing, will it really evolve into a phoenix, right?" Yeyang looked at this firebird, a little incredulous.
"I don't know, it should be!" Huang Ximo also replied with a trembling voice, and it was difficult to hide his surprise in his tone, if this was really the case, then it was very likely that they would really meet a real pure-blood phoenix!
Suppressing the shock in their hearts, both of them took out their weapons, and after a fierce fight, after suffering some minor injuries, they finally killed the firebird.
The fist-sized essence blood floated in the air, and the two of them each took half of it, and while refining their bodies with the essence blood, they also took pills to recover their vitality and injuries.
Half an hour later, the essence blood was consumed, and the two of them opened their eyes at the same time, Yeyang's skin had turned pale red, and a strange luster shone, giving people an indestructible feeling, and the flames could only emit some warm heat when they burned on it.
Huang Ximo was even stronger, the surface of her body was wrapped in a layer of red mist, and it was not damaged in the flames, a faint phoenix phantom appeared behind her, and a coercion involuntarily emanated from her body, but it was all faint and ethereal, so faint that even Yeyang's soul could not be detected.
"Hey, sister, how long will it take to reach the ancestral land?" Yeyang said weakly, baked by the never-ending flames these days, coupled with the continuous fighting, although there was no harm, it had almost exhausted his energy.
Huang Ximo wiped a handful of fragrant sweat, closed his eyes and felt it, the flame in his eyebrows burned, and replied hoarsely: "It should only be a dozen miles away, it's almost there, right?"
"That's good, now there is a firebird at the peak of the fourth grade, and the environment here is like a fish in water for these things, if you go a few hundred miles, it will be a demon death!" Yeyang breathed a sigh of relief, and the two of them rested for a while before continuing their journey.
