Chapter Eighty-Seven: Black Phoenix Feathers
This rotating stone staircase winds all the way down the pillar, leading to the black phoenix group below, and as soon as we slid to the crystal cave, Feng Xin went down without caring about anything else, without the slightest hesitation. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
I glanced at the stone staircase, and it was choking enough, for to me it had lost its original function. This stone staircase is no longer wide, and the spacing between the carved footholds is very open, which is clearly for the ancient long-legged people. Judging from the current standard of ordinary stairs, this stone staircase can span three or four steps in one step, but compared to the plank road we climbed up, this stone staircase is really fucking kind.
Seeing Feng Xin jumping down, his neat skills widened the distance between us.
Qian Yu gave me a pitons as an assistant, and then glanced at the car and said, "You can go down with him."
After nodding his head and going down a few steps, he turned around and put his index finger on his brow and went down again. I've been following them for a while, and I recognize that they have a lot of gestures and code words, which are too complicated for me to understand, of course, but the index finger pressing the center of the eyebrows represents the meaning of caution.
Qian Yan and I followed behind and jumped down one after another, the stone steps felt very unreliable, and with each step, the corners of the stone steps would fall off some small gravel after being shaken. The memory of stepping on the iron ladder at the mouth of the swallow came back, and I kept looking at the junction, a little worried.
And a few phoenixes with teeth and claws at the bottom saw us coming down the stone ladder, and they suddenly restrained their roars and roared, and they sat down one by one and raised their heads to look at a few of us, and the surroundings were suddenly quiet and weird. Caught by five pairs of giant obsidian sights, I felt like I was being targeted by leopards, waiting in the grass to gauge the chance of taking their prey in one fell swoop.
Seeing that it was getting closer and closer to the ground, as the distance shrank shorter and shorter, the size of the phoenix gradually expanded and became clearer.
If a chicken is a little bigger than its original size, you will smile at it. If a chicken grows as big as a dog, you can comfort yourself that it should be a mutant or eat better.
However, if a chicken is the size of a gravel truck and stares at you with strange eyes, I don't think there are many people who can justify themselves calmly.
Feng Xin and Ziche were already waiting at the bottom and picked us up. I stared intently at the five birds, and vaguely felt that their eyes, which were black to the bone, slightly revealed a yin qi, and I shuddered. However, until the four of us stepped on the ground, the five phoenixes remained unmoved, as if they had been petrified by a secret magic.
At this time, Feng Xin suddenly raised his hand to block the front, and said in a serious tone, "Wait and see, don't act rashly yet, these creatures are very bizarre, maybe they are thinking about something." As soon as Feng Xin said this, he could imagine that he had suffered enough in the Tomb Beast level before. Before he finished speaking, he actually pulled out a snow-silver dagger from the gap between his thighs, a little longer than a dagger without a gauntlet. I looked at it and said in my heart how many weapons he could hide on his body, but the point was that I hadn't seen that he had a sword on him after being with me for so long.
Ordinary people have foreign objects tied to their legs, which will more or less hinder their movements, but Feng Xin's footsteps are very natural all the way, and the short sword seems to be a part of his body, born from his body.
I saw that he lifted his hand and held the hilt of the sword behind his back, and the tip of the sword was pressed towards the ground and his arm was forced, making a metallic sound of clicking, and at the same time, the entire blade was instantly doubled.
Damn, it's actually a telescopic sword. I was so frightened that my jaw fell to the ground.
I looked at myself empty-handed, with only a Swiss knife barely a weapon. At this moment, Ziche pressed my right shoulder with a palm, skimmed the stone steps behind me, and told me to wait where I was. I saw that his two eyebrows were tightly pressed together, and even Qian Yu's expression became fierce.
It seems that Feng Xin's knife is not a small warning sign.
There were many pictures in his mind one after another, and in his memory, whether it was for the thousand-legged demon or the human animals, Feng Xin had never taken out this knife. I'm sure he must have had it with him at that time, but it didn't work.
Now that they haven't fought yet, Feng Xin actually showed his weapon first, which shows that in his judgment, the threat of these phoenixes is not ordinary.
My mind was racing, and I couldn't help but have a guess. Although Ziche and I were also involved in the process of interpreting the Helu book, most of the translation and splicing were still led by Feng Xin. Some of the epitaphs of the ancients can tell their lives with only fifty words, while the epitaph on the Xuanwu shell has twenty-four characters, in addition to Feng Xin's explanation on the spot, which should tell more things, Feng Xin...... Could it be that he only picks out some innocuous content and relays it to us, while he chooses to hide certain things?
I peeked behind the three of them and thought it was very likely that it would be true.
Needless to say, Ziche has a part of Feng Xin's memory, maybe he can understand those ghost drawings at all, but he doesn't want to say more. As for Qiancai, it is even more of a mystery, the background is suspected to be very strong, but as a modern person, it is inexplicably compatible with the ancients. Do I know these three people in front of me? Actually, we can't say that we know each other, but we met again like this.
I don't know how my head is messing around, and some things that are usually not the same thing are tangled up for no reason at this point in time. These things have no beginning or end, but they are stuck together like a strange cycle.
Once the tip of the horns of the bull gets in, I can't climb out for a short time, and there is an indescribable urge that keeps overflowing from the depths of my body, and I don't want to stay here anymore, whether these phoenixes are birds of prey or good birds, I don't want to continue to stay in this kind of place, exploring the truth of any anecdotes. Now I just want to go back to work, do a bunch of ghostly work in front of the computer, and then get off work and curse the boss.
Scattered in the valley were piles of feathers that had just fallen off when the phoenix spread its wings, each feather almost larger than a banana fan.
Didn't the heart say that it wanted feathers? There are piles of ready-made ones in front of you. I strode forward and reached for it.
Feng Xinyu looked at me trying to pick up the phoenix feathers on the ground, but turned his head and shouted in a hurry, "Don't touch it, the feathers are poisonous!"
I was shocked when I heard this, my scalp was numb, I wanted to withdraw my hand, but I knew that it was too late, and I wanted to put my hand but couldn't spread it. I want to move, but my feet are like a thousand pounds, and I can't move anything. Gradually, I began to feel a paralysis in my hands, and my whole body was paralyzed, and my body was uncontrollable, and the whole person was frozen in place and could not move.
The Dark Phoenix, which was closest to me, saw that I had won the bid, and was the first to attack, pulled up and quickly rushed towards me. Said it was late, that was fast, Ziche flew towards me with an arrow step, pushed me into the bottom gap between the stone pillar and the stone ladder with one hand, and with a dexterous backhand, he kicked back with both feet, and immediately bounced away from the attack range of the phoenix.
I hit the stone pillar vigorously, and the pain that I had fallen in Xuanwu Pond was instantly aroused, and I couldn't help but burst a few tears, my whole body was paralyzed, and I didn't even have the ability to wipe my tears.
As soon as Heifeng's hard beak pecked, the ground was like flour and immediately knocked out a big hole. When it didn't work, it pecked at the place where I was hiding.
I fell to the ground, unable to move, staring at what was happening outside. The second the black phoenix opened its mouth to peck at it, I saw what seemed to glow with fire deep in its throat.
I was just presented a dead angle by the gap and stairs advanced by the sub-car, and after a few tries, it couldn't attack me due to the angle, only to see Hei Feng angrily spread his wings and jump up, lifting his claw hook as sharp as an eagle and grabbing it towards the side of the sub-car.
Seeing this, the other phoenixes all resumed their original roars as if they had lost their minds, and attacked us fiercely.
