Chapter 278: Competing for favor

The heat continued to rise, and Xiaoya was forced to stop the light and hide away.

Lin Xue and Ye Rumeng, who were in the room, also came to watch when they heard the movement.

The fire elemental steamed for a minute or so before stopping.

Under the gaze of several people, after the flames stopped coming out, they saw more and more cracks on the phoenix eggshell, and several people could clearly feel that there was an active little life inside, which was constantly hitting the eggshell, wanting to break out of the shell.

After several minutes of hard work, a hole finally broke through the top of the eggshell, and a small head covered with golden-red fluff came out of the eggshell, and the probe probed to turn its gaze to look at the surrounding environment.

"That's what it is...... Phoenix? ”

Several people came over to watch curiously.

"It's like a chicken......"

"But the feathers are red......"

"Looks like it's stuck, do you want to help it?"

"No, breaking the shell is a very important process, it's better to let it ...... on its own"

……

A few people discussed word by word, and the phoenix cub on the ground, whose neck was stuck in the neck by the eggshell, struggled for a while, and after finding that it couldn't get out, it had to retract back into the eggshell and continue to hit.

It wasn't until the rift was smashed into a larger circle that it tried to shell again.

This time, the phoenix finally came out of its shell smoothly, but because its wings could not be opened, it was planted on the ground with golden-red fluff.

"Chirp!"

The phoenix seemed to be hurt, screamed aggrievedly, twisted his buttocks, turned around, and bit down on the eggshell, rattling, and soon ate the eggshell.

"Hiccup!"

After eating, the little phoenix also hiccuped, opened its mouth and spewed out a ball of fire from its mouth, which instantly smoked the nearby air with a burst of heat.

"Chirp?"

Just as the little phoenix was resting on its back with its stomach full, a big hand suddenly attacked and grabbed it.

Perhaps it was because he could feel that there was no malice in the comer, and the phoenix did not struggle, and curled up quietly in this hand.

Mu You looked at the fluffy chick in his hand, the body surface of this phoenix was really hot, and it was like holding a piece of coal.

Mu You couldn't hold it for long, so he hurriedly slashed his other index finger and dripped a few drops of blood on its head.

The little one did not resist, and the contract ceremony was completed automatically.

And the moment the contract was completed, Mu You immediately felt the temperature of the phoenix in his hand plummet, turning from coals to a slightly warm pom-pom.

This is not because its own temperature has decreased, and the newborn phoenix will not restrain the temperature it emits unconsciously, but because of the effect of the contract, so that Mu You, the owner, can ignore the magic flame of the contract pet.

Mu You stretched out his index finger and stroked the little phoenix's head.

"Tweet ......"

The little guy also kept screaming in response, rubbing his head on his fingers affectionately.

The Omniscient Crystal feeds back the attributes of the little one.

[Phoenix Larvae: A newborn phoenix with a rare high growth level, possessing the 'loyalty' trait, and will automatically be martyred when the owner dies completely.] Level 1, Attack 15-18, Health: 2200, Abilities: Fire Bullet, Nirvana, Fire Skin. 】

[Fire Bomb: Spits out a magic fire bullet from its mouth, dealing area damage when hit.] 】

[Nirvana: When the phoenix dies, it will turn into a phoenix egg, the phoenix egg can withstand ten attacks, and if it is not destroyed within one minute, it will automatically be resurrected by Nirvana, with a cooldown time of one day. 】

[Flame Skin: Phoenix is naturally affinity for flames, has 100% fire resistance, and can ignite objects or creatures around it when needed, causing fire damage. 】

The first-level phoenix, the attributes are quite good, in addition to having three abilities, all of which are very practical, especially the second 'Nirvana', which is the core ability that all phoenixes have, does not consume magic, dies automatically activates, and Nirvana is reborn after a minute, so to speak, as long as it is not because of lack of food or being hunted down, every phoenix is an immortal existence.

Of course, the phoenix also has a loyal nature, and it will follow the martyr after the death of the owner, which is also the reason why the number of phoenixes has not flooded.

"Rare high growth, ah......"

Mu You noticed this explanation in the feedback message.

He hadn't seen any other phoenixes, but looking at the meaning of this explanation, the potential of this phoenix should belong to the very good kind, right?

But why was this phoenix egg previously rated as an 'inferior' phoenix egg?

The breeder looked away, but the omniscient crystal actually went astray, what affected the judgment......

Mu You was puzzled, and suddenly saw the little phoenix in his hand as if he was stuck in his throat by something, and kept nodding his head and coughing.

"The eggshell you just ate got stuck?" Mu You thought to himself.

As a result, in the next second, the phoenix coughed up something, but what he coughed up was not an eggshell crumb, but a fiery red spar.

The hedron fell to the ground and instantly turned into a flame, sending a small circle of ash from the nearby meadow.

"Hey, how can this fire have eyes?" Xiaoya cried out in surprise.

The flames on the ground had noses and eyes, and their eyes were still rolling around to look at their surroundings, as if they had spontaneously combusted by a living creature.

Lin Xue and the little girl next to her were also extremely surprised when they looked at the flames on the ground that looked like living creatures.

"This is the fire spirit......

Mu You opened his mouth at this time to reveal its identity.

Different from the surprise of others, Mu You was extremely surprised when he looked at the flames on the ground at this time.

As early as when this flame first appeared, he recognized it at a glance, this thing was exactly the same as the fire spirit of the previous Coke owner, except that it was only a miniature version.

"I see."

Vivien flew to Mu You's shoulder and looked thoughtfully at the flames on the ground.

Mu You also understood what she meant, no wonder the quality of this phoenix egg was identified as 'inferior', in fact, its original quality was very high, but it was also because of the extremely high quality, which led to the coincidence that a companion fire spirit was bred in the egg, and a considerable part of the energy in the egg was absorbed by the fire spirit, which caused the appearance of the phoenix egg to be inferior to those ordinary quality phoenix eggs.

Mu You used the omniscient crystal to identify the flames.

[Fire Spirit Hatchling: An elemental creature condensed from the pure fire element, when carrying the fire spirit, the fire talent is +2, and the power of fire magic is increased by 30%, which can be used for potion refining. Current Growth: Early Childhood (35/1000). 】

Sure enough, it's a fire spirit!

Although he is still only a juvenile, and his growth level is almost none, it is far away to cultivate to the next stage, and it is impossible to use it to improve his weak chicken's fire talent.

But for his identity as a potions master, this fire spirit is still of great significance, even if it is a young fire spirit, it is enough to refine medicine.

At this time, the fire spirit on the ground seemed to sense the cold around it, and quickly jumped back on the phoenix, and drilled back into its body along its mouth.

Mu You took a look at the values, the little phoenix was just born, the temperature in the body was not stable, and the fire spirit added five points of growth a day in its body, which was okay, mainly at present, Mu You couldn't find a more suitable place to cultivate the fire spirit, so let's raise it like this.

"Since you are a fire phoenix, you will be called Linghuo in the future."

Mu You named the little phoenix, then took a lava bass from the game and fed it to the little phoenix.

This magical fish that grows in magma is also of the fire attribute and is a very delicious food for the phoenix.

The little phoenix got the fish meat given by its master, flicked its wings twice happily, and immediately began to feast on it, eating very happily.

"Tsk!"

Just when Mu You and the little phoenix were having fun, the cry of a little spider suddenly came from the side.

Mu You turned his head to look, and saw that the little spider was angrily staring at the phoenix that was burying his head in eating fish, waving two front claws, revealing a row of fangs in his mouth, and his little face was fierce and vicious, and he screamed threateningly towards the phoenix.

"Chirp!"

Huohuo looked up at the little spider in a daze, but its current IQ didn't seem to understand what the other party meant, and it didn't care, so it lowered its head and began to concentrate on enjoying the food again.

As a result, this act of ignoring angered the little spider, and the little spider suddenly screamed even louder, took a step forward, puffed out his mouth, and spit out a mouthful of spider silk towards the phoenix.

It was also at this time that Mu You discovered that after the little spider evolved to weave a web, its ability to spit out the web was also strengthened, and the size and speed of the spit web had been significantly enhanced.

Huohuo didn't realize that others were going to attack it, and at this time he was completely unprepared to defend himself, so he was naturally caught in the cobwebs.

The spider web hit, instantly shrunk into a ball, and rolled out of the ground with the little phoenix before stopping.

Huohuo finally realized that he had been attacked, and struggled on the ground in some panic, and the flames naturally ignited on his body, and then the cobwebs on his body were immediately burned into ashes.

"Chirp!"

The little phoenix that got up again was also a little angry, but it was still a level one after all, looking at the fierce little spider in the distance, it was a little frightened, and quietly went around in a circle, hid behind Mu You, and stretched out its feet to pick up the fish back.

Unexpectedly, this action angered the little spider even more, and the little spider screamed again and rushed over.

"Alright, okay, don't fight!"

Mu You hurriedly stopped between the two pets and held one down with one hand.

"Tsk!"

The little spider was stopped by Mu You, and immediately looked at him aggrievedly, and a mist quickly accumulated in his two big eyes.

Mu You also has a headache, this phenomenon is obvious, it is the behavior of animals competing for pets.

Obviously, the little spider witnessed the birth of the little phoenix, and then saw that Mu You was quite satisfied and cared for it, and immediately became jealous, and at the same time probably felt that his future status would be threatened, so he instinctively made an attack.

Mu You hurriedly went to get another loach fish and fed it to the little spider. Only then did the little spider balance his heart a little and eat the fish in his mouth.

On the other side, the fire seemed to have deflated, and hurriedly went to grab its own fish to continue eating.

The two pets glanced at each other from time to time while eating, still looking at each other unpleasantly, but fortunately, there was no more fighting.

Mu You smiled helplessly, this is how it is to make more demons, just like raising cubs, it is not okay to snub any of them, it seems that you will have to pay attention to balance in the future.

But then again, don't look at the two between, the little spider seems to be relatively strong, but in fact, when it comes to fighting, the phoenix should restrain the little spider, because what the spider is most afraid of is fire, and the phoenix happens to be the embodiment of flame.

Anyway, today I harvested a phoenix and a fire spirit at the same time, and Mu You was in a very good mood.

Soon business hours arrived, and the three of them continued to be busy.

The store ushered in the send-off, and the flow of customers continued, Mu You looked at the garden while touching the fish and playing with his mobile phone.

[Your comprehension of the 'Flying Spell' has reached 100%. 】

[You have learned the 'Flying Charm', currently LV1.] 】

At ten o'clock in the morning, after another magic class, Mu You finally learned the long-awaited flying charm.

This thing is a necessary spell for the flying broom, Mu You immediately went back to the bedroom, entered the lock cylinder space, and took out the 'Meteor' flying broom in the game.

Mu You put the streamlined red broom on the ground, then moved away and recited the flying spell.

The spell came out, and the broom on the ground suddenly floated up automatically without wind, and automatically floated to Mu You's side.

Mu You held the broom with one hand and straddled it.

Riding a flying broom is not directly sitting on a broom stick.

After releasing the flying charm, an invisible layer of air cushions and pedals will automatically appear on the broom, so there is no discomfort and balance problems as many people imagine, on the contrary, it is very comfortable, and the air cushion will automatically remain stable, not so simple to drop people down.

As Mu You imagined the direction in his heart, the broom suddenly took off like a meteor, bringing a layer of dust to the tail.

Mu You controls the broom to fly up and down in the entire space, and roughly estimates that the maximum speed can reach 150 kilometers per hour, which is about twice the speed of the chocobo's full run.

Mu You's first contact with such a fast flight, naturally a little rusty, at the beginning several times almost hit the wall, after flying for about ten minutes, he finally got used to this kind of rapid change of perspective, and gradually became like an arm, walking through the not spacious space at will, encountering all kinds of sharp turns will not happen again.

This broom is undoubtedly extremely efficient for rushing, but at the same time the magic consumption is also extremely high, according to the flight speed, the magic consumption per second is between 1 point and 10 points, if you fly at full speed, the average person insists on a few minutes or ten minutes, and then you have to stop and rest.

In any case, after learning the flying spell and having this broom in hand, Mu You can be regarded as half a flying mount, and in the future, if you encounter an emergency or a road surface where chocobos are not easy to pass, you can directly take the broom to hurry.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, after seeing off the last group of visitors of the day, the pet store closed for business.

At this time, in the middle of the game, the Ghost finally arrived near Nax Island, located in the middle of the Evil Spirit Sea, after a day's trek.

Mu You went online and first checked the damage of the Ghost.

Since entering the Evil Spirit Sea in the morning, the Ghost has been calling almost all the way.

After communicating with the panda people, he learned that in the past fourteen hours, the Ghost had been attacked by a total of eight waves of pirates, and although they were all defeated, the damage to the Ghost itself was not small. The hull was broken by the bombing in many places, the keel also had some cracks, and the bow of the ship was even more unshaped.

Mu You released the black magic version of the repair spell, and most of the damage to these hulls was less than half a day, so it was not difficult to repair.

Soon, the Wraith was restored to its original state under magic.

Of course, in return for the damage to the battle, a large amount of loot was recorded, various hull materials, a pile of pirate treasures, and three small seagoing ships were captured.

Mu You took the Ghost and put several boats into the storage bottles, leaving only a small boat, because they were ready to go ashore next.

[You came to the 'North Foot Island' on the north side of Nax Island, did you go ashore?] 】

"Yes."

Mu You said hello to the mermaid in the game, and was going to let her wait in the nearby sea first, but the mermaid immediately expressed a strong protest after hearing this, and had to follow him to the island.

Mu You wasn't sure if she was afraid that she would leave her and run away, or if she had always wanted to come to the human city to see, seeing her so insistence, she had to agree, found her a long skirt and hat, covered the fishtail and hair, and then found a bamboo basket and let her jump into the bamboo basket, and then took her to the island with her.

You and two companions landed on Nax Island. 】

[Nax Island, also known as Turtle Island, is named because it resembles a sea turtle, and in addition to the oval main island that forms the 'turtle body' in the center, there is also a peninsula extending on each side to form the four legs of the turtle. North Foot Island is one of the four peninsulas and one of the four major ports of Nax Island......]

The turtle-shaped island, with four symmetrical peninsulas forming four legs, each of which is a natural harbor, is now the equivalent of landing on the turtle's right foot.

The port to the north was chosen because according to the map of Nax Island, there is a famous 'Nax Tavern' on this peninsula, which is said to sell authentic food and drink, and business is booming all year round.

[Nax Island is the territory of Zubac, the octopus king. Zubac is the most notorious sea monster in the astral spirit realm, there is no one, its size is as huge as a mountain, its strength is infinite, its strength is unfathomable, and it can be called an invincible existence on the sea. 】

[If you are in the territory of the Octopus King, you must abide by the rules here. 】

[Within the scope of Nax Island, no one is allowed to fight, steal, rob, kill, etc., otherwise they will be arrested by the ubiquitous octopus soldiers, and thrown into the underwater prison located under Nax Island, and sentenced to different sentences according to different crimes, and no one can escape before the sentence is completed. 】

[It is precisely because of the deterrent power of the Octopus King and the strict system management that Nax Island has become one of the safest cities in the Star Spirit Realm, and it is located in the sea communication artery, and the accumulation over the years has created this extremely prosperous commercial city. 】

[You came to the 'Nax Tavern', did you enter?] 】

[You entered the tavern with two companions, and the tavern guy immediately brought you the menu of the restaurant......]

Mu You clicked on the text of the 'menu', and the names and descriptions of a series of dishes immediately popped up below.

Mu You looked at and chose a few things, mainly to order a good wine for the panda man.

Nominally, he now hired a panda man, but in the past few days, he has never given anyone a serious drink, and now that he has the opportunity, he is not stingy, picking up the most expensive 'jewel sake', and boldly bringing it two barrels.

[The panda man smiled after listening to your order, and praised you for your righteousness, this time you broke the bank, and it will do its best to help you do things in the future.] 】

This barrel of wine will have a lifespan of fifty years, and two barrels will be gone for a hundred years, and the pain is a bit painful, but after all, this is what he promised, and it should be released.

In addition, Mu You also ordered a 'magic steamed fish' for himself, which explained that it was food that could restore mobility, as long as he lived for five years, if he could return to his full mobility, he would definitely not lose.

Mu You, on the mermaid's side, ordered her the cheapest magic ale and some carnivorous side dishes, which only took about two years to add up, anyway, the mermaid has no requirements for human food, just to try a novelty, just give her a minimum amount of food.

The game Chinese suggests that the three people are very happy to eat and drink, but Mu You specially came to the tavern, of course, not only to invite them to rub, but mainly to collect intelligence.

There's no better place to get information than a tavern at night.
