Chapter Seventy-Four: The Phoenix (Part II)
Looking at the flame-paved road in front of him, Wang Feng did not hesitate. I have seen the majesty of Master Hawkins before, and it is already certain who the voice on the other side is. With his dedication to casting weapons and his trust in his own internal strength, Wang Feng resolutely embarked on that road. Bai Xue wanted to follow, but was stopped by Wang Feng, and obediently stayed in place and waited.
The air around him was burning, and if it weren't for the icy true qi that Wang Feng had just comprehended and tempered, he might not be able to withstand such a flame. He did his best to bring out the icy true qi and wrap it around his clothes, but there was a layer of fiery true qi outside, slowly dispersing the invading heat wave.
The road was not long, but it was not short, and Wang Feng walked for almost half an hour before he walked from there to the center of the valley. Everywhere you pass, the road surface has disappeared silently, only the monstrous flames are still ahead.
Finally came to an end, but the flames did not disappear. A huge mountain of flames suddenly appeared in front of Wang Feng's eyes. Although the size of this hill is not large compared to the valley, it is enough to compare to an ordinary mountain bag.
It was red, and the whole mountain was burning. All eyes are all shades of red. Could this mountain be the destination?
Just as he was about to find the way up the mountain, the mysterious voice came from the mountain bag in front of him: "Human, you are very strong, you can actually endure my high temperature." Even the dragons don't dare to get so close to me, you're strong, human, you've seen me. ”
Wang Feng looked at the flaming mountain in front of him and asked in disbelief, "Are you a phoenix?" He really couldn't believe that the flaming mountain in front of him was actually alive.
The flames in front of him changed their posture, as if they were flapping their wings, and the raging flames spread out, enveloping a huge area. Then, with a shrill chirp, the voice came again: "Yes, human, I am Phoenix." You've broken the agreement I made with the dragons, and I can leave this place. Thank you for helping me, is there anything I need help with?"
Wang Feng finally knew why Phoenix wanted to let him pass through that path. The true body of the phoenix is in front of you, and if you can't even pass those on the road, you are indeed not qualified to see the phoenix. It may have been reduced to ashes before it was even seen.
Ignoring any agreement, Wang Feng directly put forward his request: "Phoenix, help me melt a piece of metal and let me refine a weapon." ”
"Hehehehe!" Phoenix's huge laugh came out, thinking it was too simple. After laughing, the phoenix spread its wings and moved, and said, "Bring your metal here, I'll take a look." ”
Wang Feng took off the cold iron on his arm as he said, looked at the huge body of the phoenix, and could only put it on the ground.
The phoenix looked down at such a small piece of iron, spit out the flames slightly, and suddenly wondered, "What is this, how can it smell like me?"
At that time, Master Hawkins had used a staff to refine cold iron, which naturally brought the breath of a staff. The staff was originally the remains of the phoenix, so naturally it was immediately recognized.
Raising his huge head and looking at Wang Feng, Phoenix didn't ask anything. The surrounding fire elementals gathered frantically as if they had received some order. It's the same as Hawkins that day, condensed into a fiery red ball. Under the control of the phoenix, the ball landed accurately on the cold iron.
Wang Feng had seen the situation that day and knew that this might not work. But since it was the phoenix who made the shot, maybe it would be different, so he didn't speak.
The fiery red ball slowly became smaller, and the cold iron still looked black, without the slightest change, and gradually the fireball disappeared, revealing the cold iron that was still in its original state. The phoenix snorted, looked down for a long time, turned his head and asked, "What is this, why can't such a fire element melt?"
Wang Feng told the origin of Han Tie, of course, he did not mention the content of his oath. And he also talked about the process of finding a refining method, and quietly waited for the phoenix to ask questions.
"Phoenix blood, phoenix blood. After hearing this, the phoenix kept saying these two words. After talking for a long time, he then asked Wang Fengdao: "Do you believe that the phoenix blood will definitely be able to melt this cold iron?"
Seeing the phoenix like this, the belief in Wang Feng's heart was not so strong. He shook his head slowly and said, "At first, I believed that phoenix blood could be refined, but now I am not so sure. ”
The phoenix stood still for a long time and asked, "Is this important to you? What happens if you have a weapon?"
Wang Feng said gloomily: "It's very important, if I don't have weapons, I will have a lot of restraints on my body, and there is no way to do what I like to do." With weapons, it is natural to travel all over the world. ”
After groaning, as if there was thunder in the sky, the phoenix asked again, "Do you want to know what kind of agreement I made with the dragon clan?" Without waiting for Wang Feng to answer, he talked to himself.
Back then, since this phoenix sneaked out of the Holy Land, the human world is more colorful than the Holy Land. The playful phoenix was immediately intrigued. In the Vulcan Empire, the scorching volcano and magma made the phoenix feel comfortable, so it stayed there, but its natural flame body caused great damage to the human world. For this reason, humanity has to concentrate its good hands and destroy the phoenix.
At this time, the dragon clan appeared, not only with the orders of the Phoenix Leader, but also mastered the weakness of the Phoenix at that time. The strength of the phoenix facing Nirvana has been greatly damaged, and its lifespan is about to end, so it is naturally not the opponent of the five high-level dragon clans. However, the patriarch of the dragon clan at that time had a good proposal and proposed it to discuss with Phoenix.
Anyway, war is death, and peace is death, so you might as well listen to what good advice they have. The dragons learned a lot about the phoenix and found its habitat in the Holy Land.
According to the suggestion made by the patriarch, the dragon clan protects the phoenix and successfully nirvana, and the phoenix must promise the dragon clan to live in the original residence of the holy land with peace of mind, and no longer leave the holy land to harass humans. Unless humans can do two things.
One is to melt the ice here that will not melt for thousands of years. The reason why the phoenix chose to inhabit here is also because of these ices. The little phoenix who likes to run around is present, and in the process of showing these solid ice for a while and trying to melt them, the strength of the phoenix grows rapidly, and it is obviously more suitable for strength growth here than to enjoy it slowly in those warm places.
The second is that humans can protect the phoenix without relying on any magic. This is impossible for anyone to do on the entire Big 6, not to mention anything else, the flames that cannot be extinguished on the phoenix's body can burn ordinary people without magic protection to ashes at a distance of thirty zhang, let alone * close, it is absolutely impossible.
After these two conditions are met, the phoenix can leave this place and move freely, and the dragon clan will no longer interfere with the phoenix's actions from now on.
Since then, the reborn phoenix has been slowly refining these ices in this bitter cold place. On the one hand, he exercises his strength, and on the other hand, he waits for any humans to come. After going out once, it is very yearning for the outside world, and has been waiting for someone to come and take it out to play.
Today, the ghost sent the gods, and now that the phoenix has someone who can walk under the ice, he immediately spoke out and summoned Wang Feng over. Unexpectedly, Wang Feng could really do these two things, which made Phoenix a big surprise. In addition to being happy, he also responded to Wang Feng's request, but now he is obviously in trouble.
It turned out that this phoenix was also a victim of the agreement. However, Wang Feng couldn't raise a trace of resentment towards the dragon clan, after all, if the phoenix was allowed to mess around, there would not be many people alive on the big 6. If you want to blame, you can only blame the phoenix's natural uncontrollable flames.
In this case, the question that Wang Feng is concerned about now is whether the phoenix can help him melt this piece of cold iron and cast weapons. Anyway, now that the phoenix has broken the agreement and can fly away at any time, it would be unwise not to ask for benefits from it at this time. Moreover, this is mainly for this purpose.
Phoenix may have fantasized many times about what would happen after she broke the agreement, but she didn't expect to encounter such a strange metal today. Phoenix blood is the essence of phoenix life, even nirvana once is less than taking out some blood. The Dragon Patriarch and the Phoenix Leader have been unable to reach an agreement for a long time, and this may be the reason.
The long life has given the phoenix a lot of time to think, especially the phoenix who is imprisoned here. It knew very well that even if it could run around at will, without the obstruction of the dragons, the Phoenix Leader would not let it be so lawless. Although the Phoenix representative sent last time failed, the leader will definitely send stronger and more phoenixes to stop him.
However, the little phoenix, who has seen the more colorful life outside the holy land, is unwilling to wander around the holy land, there is nothing here, there is no interest. In its heart, it still longs to be free to play everywhere without constraints.
Looking at Wang Feng's faintly expectant eyes, Phoenix's gaze fell on the troublesome piece of polar cold iron. After carefully looking at it for a long time, I finally realized that it was different from ordinary metal.
Wang Feng looked at the phoenix and suddenly seemed to be very excited to take the cold iron into his mouth, as if he was tasting it, and after a long time, he spit it out again.
Just as he was wondering, Phoenix suddenly spoke: "I can help you melt the cold iron, but you have to promise me one condition." ”
"What conditions?" Wang Feng's mouth was dry: "Can it really be smelted?"
The phoenix-like body trembled, and said, "I just tried, I can possess this piece of metal, and I can melt it without my blood." However, after I possess it, the weapon will become extremely hot, and perhaps, only you can use it without worrying about being burned to death by the weapon. ”
After a pause, Phoenix's words continued: "As a condition, you can't sheath your weapon so that I can see the outside world." Wherever you go, I can see everywhere. This will not only meet my requirements, but will not bring large-scale disasters to humanity and cause the intervention of the dragons and phoenixes. Can you say yes?"
Where to find such a good thing, of course Wang Feng nodded busily.
"Well, what do you want a weapon to look like?"
