Under the impact of a huge fireball, the land beneath Phinex's feet was instantly enveloped in boundless flames.

She breathed a sigh of relief, she was confident that under such an attack, the other party would not survive.

"It seems that this surprise attack of the enemy has been solved for the time being. ”

"But......" her brow furrowed slightly, "I didn't feel the power of the curse from the two of them, could it be that there is someone else threatening Phoenix?"

While she was pondering this question, she didn't notice that the ground wrapped in a sea of fire instantly bloomed with a cold glow. This cold light brought a sound of breaking the air, and suddenly stabbed towards her.

A sense of crisis suddenly rose in Phinex's heart, this sense of crisis made her hair stand on end, she almost subconsciously flew to her left side, but it was too late at this moment, she only felt that her right wing suddenly came from a sense of pain, and her body lost its balance almost instantly, completely out of her control, and fell vertically to the ground.

By this time, the sea of fire on the ground had begun to dissipate, and Phinex stared at the ground with her incredulous gaze.

The sea of fire dispersed, leaving only a translucent hemispherical light curtain with a clear blue light on the ground, and under the light curtain, there was a six-pointed star array emitting white light, and in the center of the star array, three bright stars, which were very eye-catching.

The diameter of the six-pointed star array is about more than ten meters, and on the star array, two black-robed magicians and three ogres stand on it, it seems that this is a defensive magic, and Phoenix's attack with all her strength this time was offset by this magic.

Just as Phoenix's fall to the ground, the six-pointed star seemed to run out of magic, and its light was rapidly weakening and slowly dissipating. With the disappearance of the six-pointed star, the translucent light curtain, like foam, disappeared in the cold wind in an instant.

Phinex fell heavily to the ground, and the two magicians stared at her viciously, and without their orders, the three still living ogres, with a fierce look, consciously brandished their mallets and attacked Phinex.

At this time, Phoenixes couldn't move the slightest, and fell to the ground from a high altitude, even if she was a phoenix and a divine beast, she was already seriously injured at the moment, and she could only watch the huge mallet smash towards her.

"Is this a joke? I'm going to die?"

The gavel is getting closer and closer to his body. Phoenixes could even predict that the nearest mallet would hit her waist and abdomen the next moment. She had the illusion that time had frozen at this moment, and the speed at which the gavel fell, slower and slower, slower, seemed to stop at any moment.

Not knowing whether she was frightened by such a deadly attack, or wanted to calmly meet this moment of judgment, she subconsciously closed her eyes.

His eyes were closed, and the expected darkness did not come, and what appeared in front of his eyes was a scene of the past.

She saw the moment she was born, she broke out of her shell, and her little head curiously patrolled the surroundings, looking at the white tree trunks around her, which was a sycamore forest, with a body the size of a sparrow, and struggled to break free from the eggshell and get out.

It's very calm here, not to mention people, it's your own kind, and you can't see a single bird.

The whole sycamore forest has only its own existence, and there is no other life. She walked here happily every day, and at that time, she could not spread her wings and soar, like a newborn baby, walking on her own feet.

She didn't know how she had come to be, and as time passed, her body became bigger and bigger, starting with a body the size of a sparrow, and gradually turning into an eagle with wings spreading.

When she was growing up, her footprints had spread to every corner of the entire sycamore forest, and she knew everything here, this place, there was no other creature except herself.

All she knew was that in the center of the sycamore forest, there was a big dry tree, and this tree was bare, without a single leaf. But this big tree will be miraculously full of all kinds of fruits every day, she will come here every day, every day she will eat all the fruits on this tree, and the next day, this tree will be very magical, and it will be full of all kinds of fruits.

This place, like a paradise, can be eaten without worry, free and leisurely, without being disturbed by anyone or anything.

The night in the sycamore forest is very quiet, but during the day, there will be a burst of melodious music inexplicably, she once wanted to explore the source of this music, but the music is like coming from all directions, no matter where she goes, the sound has not been attenuated in the slightest.

It wasn't until long after she had left the forest that she realized it was music played on the harp.

Yes, and then she left here. She didn't even know how she got out of here, it seemed that she just woke up and came to the world outside the sycamore forest.

Unlike the previous Sycamore Forest, this is a world where various creatures live together, and there is no longer only their own existence as before. In the same way, there is no old tree in this world that can grow fruit every day, and for this reason, she starves almost every day as she travels around this world.

At that time, she had an eagle-like body, extremely agile skills, but she had a simple and kind heart, but she was very weak, she would not hunt other animals, she would only search for trees by tree, looking for all kinds of fruits, in order to satisfy her hunger.

It was precisely because of her innocence that at that time, she didn't even know that she was a phoenix, she had encountered a group of all kinds of birds, and she wanted to join them, but as soon as she got close, all the birds would panic and run away.

She doesn't have her own nest, it's not like the sycamore forest, where the temperature changes all year round, she's a phoenix, and her body temperature can change with the temperature. But she couldn't stand the cruel wind and rain, the scorching sun, and the snow and ice.

She doesn't know how to build a nest, she only knows, she wants to explore the end of the sycamore forest, the end of this world, but this world has no end, no matter how she flies, she will never reach the end, for her, every time she wakes up, the ground under her feet is a new starting point, she just keeps flying, wind and sun, starvation, without stopping.

Gradually, the place she flew over was no longer a dense forest, no longer a blue sea, no longer snowy peaks and mountains, but a neatly arranged house, a noisy and lively city, and she no longer saw all kinds of animals, no longer other birds trying to escape from her, but a creature that called itself human.

Unlike all kinds of creatures that run away from themselves, these humans, who are not afraid of themselves and seem to want to be close to themselves, carry huge baskets, as well as all kinds of food, and they put food on the ground, and the food goes from their feet to the basket in their hands.

She curiously followed the food, ate all the way, came to the frame, and suddenly a sleepiness hit, and she slept beautifully in the basket.

When she woke up, everything changed, she found that she could no longer leave the basket, and people no longer deliberately approached her, no longer gave her a lot of food, and always held a branch and poked herself from the outside of the basket.

Whenever they struggle to fly in horror and chirp, people laugh out loud and seem to tease themselves like this, and this kind of activity is fun.

Since that day, every day has been a nightmare for her.

In addition to starving and being teased, she suddenly understood something more terrible than being hungry.

That is the loss of freedom, once you lose your freedom, you lose the ability to fly, you will be slaughtered by others.

Until one day, a white-haired old man in a white robe came to her, and Phoenixes still remembers that scene, behind the old man, the people who had teased her before, with the same frightened look as the teased herself, fell in a pool of blood.

With a kind smile on his face, the old man stretched out his hand and whispered to himself, "Come home with me." ”

"Why do I think of this?"

"Maybe it's because I'm dying?"

She opened her eyes, she had the pride of being a phoenix, and she would rather face her own death.

When she opened her eyes, what she saw was not the gavel that was about to fall on her, but the familiar white-haired old man with a kind smile.

He stretched out his hand and said softly, "Come home with me." ”

She smiled, and she slowly closed her eyes again, and a tear glistened from the corners of her eyes.

"Perhaps, once again I forgot the taste of freedom. And this time, it's you who imprison me, right?"

In front of her, a black-haired young man, under the dim candlelight, holding roses in his hand, looking at her tenderly, she smiled happily, looked at him happily, and the corners of her eyes were filled with happy tears.
