Chapter 48: Life of Fire

When the situation in Lanmian City stabilized, Gusas officially took over Yu Wenquan's position as the acting city lord for a period of two months. As for the Celestial Mystery and the others, they are preparing to return to Brentre with Minos.

Before leaving, Gu Sas warmly greeted them and said to Tianxuan: "Young people, come and sit often when you have time. ”

"Of course, but Your Excellency the City Lord has a lot of opportunities, I'm afraid you won't have time to meet me!" Tianxuan arched his hand and said.

Gu Sas raised his head and smiled, and then said: "Where is it, in fact, after becoming the city lord, you are busy every day, you have time to come and chat with me, otherwise it will be boring to be alone!" ”

"Definitely, definitely! Then I'll take my leave! After saying that, Tianxuan said goodbye to Gu Sas.

"Tianxuan, hurry up, we're about to leave!" Nicolas stood on the Wind Protector and urged.

Hearing Nicos's call, Tianxuan stretched out his hand and waved in response: "Got it, I'll come right away!" Then he turned to Gusas and said, "Your Excellency, then I will go first, and there will be a time later!" ”

"There will be a date later!" After speaking, Gu Sas waved to Tianxuan to see him off.

Later, Tengen, Nicos, and Hercules followed Minos's envoy back to Brentel on the Wind Protector, while Black returned to Power City with his men.

Since the danger around them was completely lifted, they talked and laughed on the way back to Brenthal, and before they knew it, they returned to the main city.

Once in the city, Hercules went to report to the Berserker's headquarters, while Tengen followed Nicos to Hestia's office.

"Hestia, we're back!" As soon as Nicolas saw Hestia, he rushed to her and hugged her.

Hestia smiled lightly, and then said gently, "It's good to come back safely!" After pacifying Nicos, Hestia walked up to Tianxuan and asked with concern, "It's not easy on this road!" ”

"Hmm!" Tianxuan nodded slightly.

"Now that it's over, don't take it to heart and play for a few more days!" Hestia said with a smile.

"Okay, I'm just thinking about playing a few more days! But when will I be able to get back to the ground? Tianxuan, who was feeling happy, suddenly thought of the problem of going home again.

"Don't worry about this, you can definitely go back, but something is wrong now!" Hestia replied.

"What's the situation?" Tianxuan looked at Hestia and asked with wide-eyed eyes.

"Because the Yanlong is raging in the Streamer Layer, Maya has closed all the passages to the outside world, and the matter of the Yanlong must be resolved before the passage can be opened again." Hestia puffed out her cheeks and said helplessly.

"Oh, that's right! Then I'll be relieved, but it's just a little longer, and I'm going to relax and relax these days! As he spoke, Tianxuan stretched his long waist.

"In this way, I suggest you go to Baiyuan to relax!" Hestia said.

"Hundred Paradises?" Tianxuan's eyes widened and he looked at Hestia suspiciously.

"Hundred Paradise is our breeding base, and when it was first established, there were 100 species listed, but now it is much more than that." Hestia explained.

"Zoo!" Tianxuan's eyes suddenly lit up, he touched his chin with his hand, and said excitedly, "Sounds good!" But I'll get some sleep first, and I'll go back tomorrow! I'm tired of this time! ”

"It's been arranged a long time ago!" Hestia turned to Nicos and said, "Take him, old man!" ”

"Okay!" Nicolas smiled and agreed.

Next, Tianxuan came to the lounge and slept beautifully.

The next day, after Tianxuan got up, he followed Nicolas to Baiyuan.

On the way, Tianxuan couldn't help but ask curiously, "Nicols, what kind of animals are raised in Hundred Paradise?" ”

Nicolas fiddled with the ends of her hair, pursed her lips and smiled, "There are unicorns and lantern eagles you have seen!" ”

Tianxuan suddenly stretched his face, pouted and said, "Do you still need to say what you've seen here, I'm asking if you have any other rare beasts?" ”

Nicos ran her finger over her lips and said mischievously, "Secret! Then he laughed.

For Nicos's teasing, Tianxuan sighed helplessly. It seems that if you want to know more, you still have to visit the zoo yourself.

After a long wait, the Wind Protector that Tianxuan rode finally arrived at Hundred Paradise.

As soon as the Wind Protector stopped and the protective shield was lifted, Tianxuan, who had already been impatient, hurriedly ran down. However, he was disappointed by what he saw, and within the one-meter-high metal fence, there was only a bare land except for a few very ordinary bungalows.

β€œOh,No!” Tianxuan held his head in his hands and complained, "Is this a zoo?" It's too bad! ”

At this moment, Nicos slowly stepped down from the Wind Protector, covering her mouth with her hand and laughing.

Seeing Nicos's gloating appearance, Tianxuan rolled his eyes at her and continued to look into the fence.

Nicos walked behind Tianxuan, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Is there anything you are not satisfied with?" ”

Tianxuan hung his head and replied, "I'm here to see the animals, not this hairy wasteland. ”

"Who said it was a hairless wasteland, and there was not a single animal?" Nicolas winked at Tianxuan, looking mysterious.

Tianxuan's mouth puffed out, exhaled and said: "Beauty, can you stop surprise me, I have received enough surprises, if it goes on like this, my little heart can't stand it!" ”

Nicolas touched the bridge of her nose with her fingers, smiled sweetly, then straightened her head and said, "Okay, okay!" I'm not kidding you anymore. We're standing on top of Hundred Paradise right now, and we'll have the keeper open it and take us down later! ”

Tianxuan took a long breath and said with a little surprise: "Oh, so that's what happened. Hey, why didn't you say it earlier! ”

"Didn't you say it now?" Nicolas smiled sweetly.

"Hungry ......" Tianxuan looked at Nicos, and suddenly got stuck and had nothing to say.

Nicolas then walked straight to the door of the bungalow inside the fence to do a fingerprint verification. After a while, the door opened, and out of it came a slightly chubby middle-aged woman. This woman is slightly shorter, with a round and plump nose, low cheekbones, and thick lips, which makes Tianxuan feel that she is a very gentle and dignified woman.

"Oh, hello, Nicols! I just received the news of your arrival below, and I immediately caught up with you! The middle-aged woman said in her clear bass.

Nicos looked at the cyan armband tied around the middle-aged woman's arm, and immediately understood that she was a breeder, so he asked, "What is the name of the breeder?" ”

"Just call me Kana, don't put aside your honor, call me old!" Kana's mouth curled into an arc and smiled.

Nicos also nodded and smiled and said, "Okay Kana, I'm bringing a friend to visit Hundred Paradise today!" ”

Kana tilted her head, looked behind Nicos, then blinked and asked, "Is that the young guy behind you?" ”

Nicos bared his teeth slightly and said, "That's him, although he is from the ground, he can be considered one of us now." ”

Kana licked her thick lips, stretched out her left hand and beckoned to Tianxuan and said, "Young man, come here, don't be so restrained, let me, the tour guide, entertain you well today." ”

"Hungry! Good! Tianxuan replied and walked into the bungalow with a hint of shyness.

Tianxuan walked into the bungalow and took a closer look, where is this residence? It was empty, except for the various buttons and displays protruding from the walls on all four sides.

"Oh, Kana, it's an elevator, right?" Tianxuan asked.

Kana nodded and replied, "Yes! Otherwise, what do you think? ”

Tianxuan scratched the back of his head and said embarrassedly, "I thought I was going to go down the tunnel!" ”

As soon as Tianxuan's words fell, Nicos and Kana couldn't help but cover their mouths with their hands and laugh.

After laughing for a while, Kana pressed the button, and the elevator began to run downward.

After about two minutes, the elevator stopped, and when the elevator doors opened, a magical world unfolded in front of Tianxuan's eyes.

The world is illuminated by cylindrical pillars of light of various colors, about the height of a skyscraper, all the way from the ground to the very top. In addition to these pillars of light, the world is rich in many legendary plants, plus a variety of exotic beasts flying in the air and running on the ground, adding a lot of mystery to this wildlife park.

As it happens, as soon as they step out of the elevator, a flock of birds flies over and circles around them.

Tianxuan carefully examined the birds and found that they had the following characteristics: chicken head, swallow jaw, snake neck, turtle back, fish tail, red and yellow, about 2 meters long.

Since the birds were flying at a low altitude that was level with the people's chests, Tianxuan reached out to grab one and take a good look.

Just as Tianxuan just stretched out his hand to grab a red and yellow bird, Kana was shocked and hurriedly shouted to Tianxuan: "Let go, don't catch it!" ”

Seeing Kana's panic, Tianxuan also panicked, and as soon as he let go of his hand, the bird in his hand flew up. Thankfully, he let go, for the moment he felt he let go, a flame erupted from the bird's mouth.

Seeing the flames erupting, Tianxuan instinctively took a few steps back, and it took a long time to come to his senses, and he kept touching his chest with his hand and asked, "It's so dangerous, this bird can actually breathe fire, what is it?" ”

Kana grabbed Tianxuan's arm, looked back and forth, and found that she was not burned, so she relieved herself and replied: "Look at you are too reckless, next time you have to consult my opinion before you do it." In addition, I will tell you that this bird is called Phoenix. ”

"Phoenix?" Tianxuan's eyes widened in surprise. That's for sure, because the phoenix is a legendary mythical bird, according to ancient records: the elephant of the phoenix, the front and back of the deer, the head of the snake and the tail of the fish, the back of the dragon turtle, the swallow-jawed chicken beak, and the five-color preparation. Out of the country of oriental gentlemen, soaring beyond the four seas, passing through Kunlun, drinking pillars, weak water, staying in the wind cave at dusk, seeing the world is peaceful.

"Why, haven't you seen a phoenix yet?" Nicos asked, patting Tianxuan's back.

"Well, it's true that I've only heard some legends of the phoenix, and I've always thought they were fiction. I didn't expect to see a phoenix here. And it really breathes fire! ”

"What's so strange about Spitfire, haven't you seen a Kirin Spitfire?" Nicks tilted his head in confusion.

"That's right! I've seen unicorns before, but there are no fire-breathing animals on the ground, so I'm amazed! Tianxuan spread out his hands and explained to Nicos.

"No, there are fire-breathing animals on the ground!" Kana interrupted Tengen, pointing out that he was wrong.

"What? Animals that also breathe fire on the ground? How I never knew! Tianxuan opened his eyes wide and opened his mouth slightly, feeling incredulous.

"Wait a minute!" Kana stretched out her arm and pushed her palm forward, then pulled out a tablet resembling an iPad from the bungalow. ”

"What is this?" Tianxuan asked, pointing to the iPad in Kana's hand.

Kana pursed her lips and smiled slightly, "This is the beast genealogy, which records all kinds of known creatures and their habits. As she spoke, Kana's hand swiped across the iPad's screen, instantly creating a 3D laser image in the air.

Kana fiddled with her iPad with her head down and said, "Wait a minute, let me show you what fire-breathing species are on the ground." ”

A few seconds later, with the sound of "Fire Life", a series of images appeared in the air.

First of all, Kana showed Tianxuan a fire-breathing fish in the ocean, which is not large, only about 20 centimeters, and has a golden red body. The images show that fire-breathing fish can ingest phosphorus-containing organic matter from their food and store it in their bodies, and tens of thousands of fire-breathing fish will spit out this organic matter when they encounter a boat or predator. It was thought that phosphorus spontaneously combusted in oxygen and could spew out a beam of flame more than 3 meters long and shoot at the enemy, causing the enemy to turn around and flee in fear.

Secondly, the second fire-breathing animal that Tianxuan saw was a small green frog, a strange frog that lived on an island called Java. When it encounters a strong enemy, it spews flames from its mouth and pushes them back. The frog spews out a volatile oil that is prone to spontaneous combustion in the air.

In this way, Tianxuan has seen no less than 6 kinds of fire-breathing animals. After reading it, he sighed with emotion and sighed: "It's really sitting in a well and watching the sky, being fooled by the so-called authority." In the future, there will be a chance to learn more about the world! ”

Kana smiled faintly and comforted Tianxuan: "Young man, don't be so sad, it's not too late to know the truth now, there is a chance to understand the world!" After that, I'll send you a beast pedigree to study well! ”

"Thank you, Kana!" Tianxuan pursed his lips and looked at Kana. But suddenly, Tianxuan thought of another question, took a big breath and asked, "Kana, I want to ask how these fire beings were born?" ”

"Magma!" Kana replied succinctly.

"Magma?" Tian Xuan was puzzled when he heard it, and then he suddenly understood when he thought of witnessing the birth of Qi Qi in the smelting base, "I have some preliminary understanding in the smelting base, but if such a thing happens on land, why does the world know so little?" ”

Kana swiped the screen, and the 3D image showed the landscape of Java, and the scene suddenly switched to the lava flowing on the island. Tianxuan fixed his eyes and saw that the flowing magma was blue, no, to be exact, blue flames occurred.

Then according to the temperature of the flame, the blue temperature is the highest, and the recasting of various biological reactions is more frequent, so it is not surprising that fire-breathing animals are derived, but because the places where blue flames appear are on islands, and the food chain is scarce, there will be no large fire-breathing animals on land.
