078: Remains

There is no phoenix in Liuli Mountain, or there used to be one here.

Long Jiu followed the remnants of his breath all the way into the mountains, only to find a piece of scorched earth and a Langji tree that was almost dying. Perhaps it was because this Langji tree was dying that it was not removed by the expedition team that found it back then.

However, it was precisely because this Langji tree was left here that Long Jiu was able to find the residual breath of the phoenix on the Langji tree.

"Did you find anything?"

Xiao Zhiyun saw Long Jiu standing silently in front of the dying Langji tree, and took two steps forward to raise the Night Pearl in his hand so that Long Jiu could see more clearly.

Long Jiu's fingers gently stroked the withered tree, put his fingertips in front of his nose and sniffed it, and said lightly: "There is the breath of phoenix blood on it." ”

She finally understood why there were Langji trees here, and she finally understood why those Langji trees here would bear fruit without the care of Chang Shu.

The Langji tree was born because of the phoenix, there was once a phoenix here, and it was also an injured phoenix, the essence blood of the phoenix spilled on this land, giving birth to the Langji tree, but this is never the hometown of the phoenix, so the Langji tree that was spawned by the phoenix's essence blood did not give birth to their companion trees at the same time. But also because these Langji trees were born from the blood of the phoenix essence, even if they didn't serve the normal tree, they still produced Langji fruits.

As for these Langji trees that were spawned, they were actually not normal Langji trees, so their appearance was different from the Langji trees that Long Jiu saw in the Phoenix Clan back then.

Long Jiu withdrew his hand, lowered his eyes to look at the scorched black earth under his feet, and then said, "That phoenix was seriously injured, and even the Nirvana Fire was out of control, and it was burned by the Nirvana Fire here. ”

Because it was burned by the fire of Nirvana, the land here was scorched black, and even for so many years, there was no grass.

Xiao Zhiyun glanced around, but finally looked at the crater above, "What about the phoenix?" ”

Long Jiu also lowered his gaze to the top of the mountain, and said in a deep voice: "You said that Liuli Mountain is the only active volcano here, right?" I wanted to go inside, and I suspect there are phoenix bones in this volcano. ”

Xiao Zhiyun didn't care if there were phoenix bones here, but he didn't agree with Long Jiu's idea of wanting to enter the volcano.

But Long Jiu made up his mind and was not ready to take Xiao Zhiyun with him, "You stay here, I'll go up and have a look." ”

Without waiting for Xiao Zhiyun to refuse, Long Jiu jumped into the mid-hollow dragon, and the silver dragon rose into the sky, with a melodious dragon roar, and flew up to the clouds in an instant, and then rushed straight into the crater from above the clouds.

Xiao Zhiyun watched the silver dragon disappear on the top of the mountain, and his expression was a little depressed for a while.

Inside the volcano, the silver dragon swooped directly into the tumbling magma as if it were entering the sea, and swam all the way to the depths of the magma.

The extreme heat and hot magma couldn't stop Long Jiu, even if Long Jiu wasn't good at fire, it wouldn't hurt her in the slightest.

A moment later, the silver dragon had already reached the bottom of the magma, and it didn't need to continue to search, it saw a pair of jade-like crystal clear phoenix bones sinking quietly under the magma ground.

The light around the silver dragon's body flashed, and Long Jiu changed back into a human body, and she stood on top of this bone, her eyebrows tightly locked.

From the size of this bone, Long Jiu can tell that this phoenix is not an adult, at most it is just a small phoenix that is only about ten thousand years old.

The Phoenix clan is not the same as their dragon clan in raising cubs, if the cubs of the dragon clan have always been raised and raised, then the cubs of the Phoenix clan are all protected and grown up, especially this little phoenix that is only 10,000 years old, it is absolutely impossible for the people of the Phoenix clan to let them be left alone.

So why did the fallen little phoenix in front of him appear here alone? And was he seriously injured before he died?

Where did its elders go?

Long Jiu didn't find the answer here, and there were no useful clues left around this bone, the only thing Long Jiu could deduce was that the little phoenix's injuries before his death were extremely serious, so serious that he couldn't nirvana, and even the nirvana fire was out of control.

Although the phoenix has always been known as an immortal bird, and can always be reborn in Nirvana, in fact, when the phoenix is still young, Nirvana is also an extremely dangerous thing, especially for this kind of underage little phoenix, generally when in Nirvana, you must have elders to take care of you, otherwise you will be burned to death by your own Nirvana fire.

At present, this little phoenix is obviously because there are no elders to take care of it, and the injury is too serious, perhaps it is because of the injury that it will take the risk to carry out nirvana at that time, which is no less than a big gamble for a little phoenix who is only about 10,000 years old.

If Nirvana is successful, then it will be able to recover instantly, not only to recover from its injuries, but also to improve its cultivation to a higher level. But once Nirvana fails, then it can only die here.

Obviously, the little phoenix lost the bet.

Speaking of which, Long Jiu's relationship with the Phoenix Clan is actually not good, but she will not have to deal with a phoenix cub younger than her, not to mention that this phoenix cub is dead, although she is not good at collecting the bones for it, she will not allow anyone other than her to disturb its sleeping place.

After Long Jiu failed to find the clue he wanted, he could only place a unique seal of the dragon clan here to ensure that this place would not be disturbed by humans in the future, after all, with the current technology of humans, it may only be a matter of time before he wants to enter here.

After setting up a seal to protect this place, Long Jiu did not linger any longer, and took one last look at the phoenix bones, and then turned into a dragon body again and rushed out of the crater.

This trip was for nothing.

After Long Jiu came back from the top of the mountain, Xiao Zhiyun could see the answer from the look on her face.

Long Jiu has been quiet since she came back, Xiao Zhiyun saw that she had been muffled and didn't speak, so he could only try to tease her to speak: "Are there no bones in it?" ”

Long Jiu shook his head, "Yes." She paused for a moment, and then said sullenly: "It's still a little phoenix who is only about 10,000 years old." ”

Xiao Zhiyun was dumbfounded, 10,000 years old is really not a little phoenix for him who is a pure human being, but when he thought about Long Jiu's age, he didn't know how to speak.

Long Jiu obviously didn't care if Xiao Zhiyun would continue to speak, she said to herself: "I don't know what happened back then, those old guys of the Phoenix Clan were willing to let such a little phoenix be left alone, and in the end, because of his serious injuries, he was burned alive by his own Nirvana." ”

Xiao Zhiyun saw that her expression was quite melancholy, and asked suspiciously, "You have a good relationship with the Phoenix Clan?" ”

"How is that possible!" The melancholy on Long Jiu's face disappeared in an instant, and it was replaced by a stinky face, "I have a grudge against the Phoenix clan. ”

Xiao Zhiyun slowly gave Long Jiu a '? ’。

"Since you have a grudge against Phoenix, why do you still look sullen?"

Long Jiu let out a long sigh, "I'm not sad, but some rabbits and foxes are sad." Back then, the dragon and phoenix clan were so powerful in the wilderness, and I don't know what happened in the end, the dragon clan was the only one left, and the phoenix, who has always been a precious cub, also left its own cub behind, and let the cub end up like this. ”

After speaking, Long Jiu laughed at himself again, "If I hadn't been lucky with the four seas, maybe my fate might be similar to this little phoenix........"

"Nonsense." Xiao Zhiyun interrupted Long Jiu's words forcefully, frowned, and said, "Although I don't know how powerful your dragon and phoenix clans were back then, I believe that if you and that phoenix encounter the same situation, you will definitely not fall into this situation." ”

Xiao Zhiyun's tone was so determined that even Long Jiu couldn't help but show a look of surprise to him.

"Am I wrong?" Xiao Zhiyun bent his index finger and gently knocked on Long Jiu's head, and said lightly: "The Long Jiu I know is not someone who can say such things. ”

Long Jiu blinked and asked, "What is that like?" ”

Xiao Zhiyun squinted at her, and said with a smile: "If you don't accept it, you will do it, even if you are really in a desperate situation, you will use blood to step out of your life." ”

I don't know if Xiao Zhiyun blew too hard this wave, Long Jiu actually gave birth to a rare trace of shyness, what self-deprecation, what rabbit died and fox sorrow were especially left behind by her, a pair of eyes looked at Xiao Zhiyun brightly, and said a little shyly: "Also... It's not as good as you say. ”

Xiao Zhiyun looked at her with a smile and a word, and felt that his children were really, really coaxing, for the n+10086th time in his heart........

Just now, he had a sullen and unhappy funeral face, but now he immediately looked shy and astringent, smiling.

Although Long Jiu's trip was in vain, Long Jiu was coaxed happy by Xiao Zhiyun, not only happy, but even full of energy, and said with great pride that there was no harvest this time, but she looked forward to the next time, since she could find the traces of the phoenix here, then maybe the traces of other great wilderness creatures could be found elsewhere, even if she couldn't find it, it didn't matter, when she found her Dragon Ball and fulfilled her promise to Dragon Wine, she would definitely find her missing clansmen and reunite the whole clan.

Xiao Zhiyun, who listened to her heroic words: "........."

In fact, there is no need to be so energetic, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince silently said in his heart that it doesn't matter if the missing clansmen can be found or not.

*818 spicy man threatens to find his own clansman's Long Jiujiu*

Long Jiujiu clawed his claws: I will definitely find my clansmen, no matter how many difficulties lie ahead, they will not stop me from looking for my relatives.

His Royal Highness the Prince: It doesn't have to be like this, you can leave your own clansmen who ran away, and what are you looking for them to do!!

Long Jiujiu looked resolute: Then you have to find it.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince tried to reason with her: Is it that I am not good enough for you? Or am I not pampered enough for you? What do you have to do to find them? Are they better than me?

Long Jiujiu hesitated: That's not true, you're better than them.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince coaxed: Since I am better than them, what are you going to do with them? Without them, I would have been with you.

Long Jiujiu hesitated: But there are some things that you can't replace them.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince blackfaced: What can they do but I can't? Why can't I replace them?

Long Jiujiu continued to hesitate: Yes, you can't be beaten in their place.

His Royal Highness the Prince: ???? So, you have to find them just to beat them?

Long Jiujiu nodded: Ang! They left me behind while I was sleeping, shouldn't they have been hammered to death?

His Royal Highness the Prince: Yes! I'm for you.
