Chapter Ninety-Six: Eclipse Phoenix
Earth Spirit Mountains.
The sun is shining, this is a good weather, and the core area of the Diling Mountains is even more pleasant. The moist and fresh air is mixed with the scent of earth and plants. Of course, this is something that humans cannot enjoy. Because this is the territory of the Fire Divine Beast. Even if there were other tenth-order divine beasts again, they would never dare to enter this area easily. The Heavenly Stem Divine Beast is undoubtedly the most powerful existence among the demonic beasts in the world.
However, there is an exception to everything, no, at this time, in this place that is usually a forbidden area, there are two figures circling and flying in the sky.
The two figures, one large and one small, one white and one red, were constantly flying in the air.
The red figure was a small golden-red bird, no more than a foot long, and the combined wings were less than a meter, but the speed of its flight in the air was extremely fast, constantly circling back and forth, and it was much faster than the much larger white figure.
The white figure turned out to be a man, but with wings on his back, except for the different colors, his wings were almost the same as those of a red bird. Although the body is not as dexterous as the golden-red bird, it can also soar in the air at will, and it is very free.
"Huo'er, I can't fly you. I can't hold my magic anymore. The white figure stopped in the air, spreading its wings to control the stability of its body, it was Ji Dong.
The golden-red bird, which he called Fire, flew over and landed on his shoulder, and rubbed its head against his face, looking very intimate.
The wings changed their angle slightly, and Ji Dong glided down with the fire, and after circling for two weeks, he had landed at the mouth of the Suzaku Cave.
He's been here for almost three months now. That day, he escaped with his unskilled flying skills when Huang Liming, the chief of the Middle-earth Empire's Praetorian Guard, led the silver armor guards to pursue, and barely supported the flight for a while before returning to the ground.
He hadn't intended to disturb Suzaku, but after he entered the Earth Spirit Mountain Range with Feng Ling, how could Suzaku not know about it?
In the past three months, Ji Dong has also gone out several times to check the movement outside. He found that the towns near the Earth Spirit Mountains were full of wanted pictures of his paintings. It can be said that it is difficult to move an inch.
In desperation, he had to return to the Earth Spirit Mountain Range and temporarily live here in Suzaku.
Ji Dong inherited the skills of the two kings, and Suzaku naturally wouldn't teach him any magic skills, but Ji Dong, who has Suzaku transformation, has one thing that he needs to learn from Suzaku the most, and that is flying. In the past three months, in addition to practicing in the Vermilion Bird Cave every day, Ji Dong has practiced in the territory of the Suzaku with the little Suzaku, and Huo'er is the name that Ji Dong gave to the little Suzaku.
Although his flying talent may not be as good as Huo'er, after performing the Vermilion Bird Transformation, with his own control of magic and wings, he can be regarded as a good flyer.
With daily practice, Ji Dong gradually discovered the mystery of Suzaku's transformation. The original Vermilion Bird magic power, coupled with the Eclipse Yin Fire and those several heavenly and earthly treasures, had completely become a part of his body. It had already melted into his skin. Therefore, defense is always there, and even if it is not activated, it can still play a defensive role. And after the Vermilion Bird Transformation was activated through the spell taught to him by the flames, the Suzaku Inner Armor itself would be stimulated by Ji Dong's magic power to manifest, not only being able to fly, but at the same time, the magic contained in the Suzaku Inner Armor itself would also be integrated with Ji Dong's own magic power, making him greatly increase his strength for a certain period of time.
Therefore, it is not that when using the Suzaku Transformation, his own magic power is consumed, but that the length of time for his magic power to persist in attracting the magic power of the Suzaku Inner Armor itself and the amount of energy that attracts it determine his strength when using the Suzaku Inner Armor.
With Ji Dong's current strength, without fighting, Suzaku Inner Armor can support him to fly for half an hour, although the speed of flight is not comparable to that of Asuka, but it is much faster than walking. However, Suzaku also reminded him that there are also demonic beasts in the air, and he should try not to rise to a high altitude when flying, so as not to be attacked by flying demonic beasts.
The more she practiced flying, the more she felt that Suzaku had become wonderful, and as a person, being able to soar freely in the air like a bird was a wonderful feeling that no one could resist. In the past three months, Ji Dong's magic power has also increased from thirty-one to thirty-two, although his cultivation speed is not as fast as before, but with the ability to fly and the application of Suzaku Transformation, his strength has undoubtedly increased again.
Little Vermilion Bird Huo'er stood on Ji Dong's shoulder and looked forward to the posture, perhaps because Ji Dong was the first male she saw after she was born, so she has always been very affectionate to Ji Dong.
Back in the Suzaku Cave, Suzaku stood on the phoenix blood sycamore tree and watched them return, his eyes showed gentleness, and with a gentle chirp, the fire had already boiled from Ji Dong's shoulders and threw himself into his mother's arms.
Looking at Ji Dong, Suzaku's eyes showed unconcealable gratitude, "Ji Dong, your flying skills have been basically mastered, and what is missing now is the support of fire and magic power." Magic is fundamental to everything you do, and flying is no exception. Only when your magic becomes stronger will you be able to fly faster and use more flying skills. ”
Ji Dong nodded and said, "I understand, thank you Suzaku." ”
Suzaku shook his head slightly, "Don't say thank you to me, I'm the one who should say these two words." If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have a daughter. You've helped me again. Since you came here again, your cultivation progress has slowed down in order to help Huo'er regulate his body. Every day, he also injected part of his cultivation magic into Huo'er's body. I really don't know how to thank you. ”
It turned out that after Ji Dong came to the Suzaku Cave again that day, he was surprised to find that the little Suzaku did not grow up as healthy as he imagined, but had a big problem.
Little Suzaku has been persecuted by the eclipse yin fire in the egg for many years and has never been born, and there is a big problem in the congenital situation, with the help of Ji Dong, although the eclipse yin fire was extracted, she did not die after all. However, a congenital defect made her very different from her mother.
The first is development, because of the limitations of the eclipse yin fire, its body has not been developed, not only does it no longer grow after birth, but it continues to shrink, the more Vermilion Bird uses her Bingwu Yuanyang Sacred Fire to nourish her, the weaker her body becomes. If it weren't for the medicinal effect of the lotus seeds of the Flame Natal Red Lotus sent by Ji Dong, I'm afraid that Little Suzaku would still be unable to escape the fate of his untimely death.
It wasn't until Ji Dong returned that he discovered the problem with Suzaku, it turned out that the situation of the little Suzaku was the same as the Suzaku inner armor on Ji Dong's body, her own fire magic power and the eclipse yin fire had a fusion effect after thousands of years, and the reason why she was able to be born was because Ji Dong extracted too much eclipse yin fire, so that its own two flames had a balanced effect, so that it could survive. However, when Suzaku nourished her, she could only rely on the Bingwu Yuanyang Holy Flame to do so, so that the magic power in the little Suzaku body broke the balance again, not only did it not benefit, but it did great harm.
After Ji Dong came here, combined with his own situation instead of Suzaku to warm up the little Vermilion Bird, although his magic power is far from being comparable to the Cylene Fire Divine Beast Vermilion Bird, but the little Vermilion Bird has the same attributes as him, and under his magic power maintenance, he was pulled back from the death line. After these few months, he finally picked up his life. However, the persecution that Suzaku has suffered over the years has been too severe, and her own situation has changed greatly from that of her mother.
First of all, in terms of form, the little Vermilion Bird does not have the phoenix crown on her mother's head and the beautiful tail feather, she looks like an ordinary golden-red firebird, there is a flamingo in the fire type of demonic beasts, and her current appearance is similar to this kind of demonic beast.
The second is strength, when the Binghuo Divine Beast was born, it should have a cultivation of about the seventh order, and it is even higher than the dragon. But although Xiao Suzaku Huo'er's life was taken back, her cultivation was only a fourth-order demonic beast, of course, like Ji Dong, the flame she had was also the ultimate fire, and it was also the ultimate double fire.
Three months have passed, and now Xiao Suzaku's own magic has been completely adjusted, and there is no longer a need for Ji Dong to nurture her magic, and she is finally on the right track. Accompany Ji Dong to practice flying every day. Seeing such a small life finally regain its health is the happiest thing Ji Dong has had in three months.
"Aunt Suzaku, what are you talking about? I treat Huo'er as a sister. Ji Dong smiled slightly, looking at the fire that fell into her mother's arms, her eyes were full of satisfaction. His name for Suzaku has also changed a long time ago.
Huo'er let out a shrill chirp, as if in response to Ji Dong, and got out of her mother's arms again, spread her wings, flapped and threw herself into Ji Dong's arms, and kept arching and rubbing her head on Ji Dong's face.
Suzaku sighed lightly and jumped down from the phoenix blood sycamore tree, "Ji Dong, are you ready to leave?"
Ji Dong was stunned, "How do you know?"
Suzaku said: "Naturally, it can be seen from your reluctant look. Ji Dong, during this period of time, I went from great sorrow to great joy, and then from great joy to great sorrow, and finally watched my daughter come back to life, this feeling made me feel very tired and finally relieved. Our Suzaku clan is the most important cause and effect, and Huo'er must be reciprocated for receiving such a great favor from you. Otherwise, she will not be able to grow up in the future. ”
Before Suzaku finished speaking, Ji Dong had already resolutely interrupted Suzaku, "Auntie, I will never let Huo'er be my mount partner." She's my sister. I don't need anything in return, I just want her to be happy all the time. ”
Suzaku shook his head, "Ji Dong, you listen to me finish speaking." I'm not trying to make her your mount. Instead, I hope she can accompany you on your journey around the world. The life of our Suzaku clan is very long, tens of thousands of years. Your human life will be much shorter. Let Huo'er accompany you for a hundred years, even if it is to repay your kindness. Moreover, I am also selfish in doing this, although Huo'er's situation is not in danger of life now, but I can't guess whether she can grow up, and what she will become when she grows up. Her attributes are exactly the same as yours, and only by following you, cultivating with you every day, and being influenced by your extreme twin fires, can she grow up more healthily. What's more, the Flame Empress helped you complete the infusion of the Source of Chaos, and a little aura from the Chaos Fire alone can make her inexhaustible. It is impossible for the little guy to inherit my mantle and become a propylene fire beast, but I also hope that she can become stronger, at least have the ability to protect herself. This is the first time that she has appeared in our Vermilion Bird clan, and since it was born because of the eclipse yin fire, let's call her the Eclipse Phoenix. ”
The four words Eclipse Phoenix itself are full of Suzaku's anger towards the eclipse yin fire, and they are full of expectations for her daughter's future.
Huo'er quieted down in Ji Dong's arms, turned her head to look at Suzaku, although she couldn't speak yet, but as a descendant of a divine beast, she was born with wisdom that was not inferior to that of humans, and big tears kept rolling down her eyes. Suddenly, with a sad scream, he rose from Ji Dong's arms again and threw himself back into his mother's arms.
Gently hugging her daughter, Suzaku was also hazy with tears, looked down at her daughter, and whispered softly: "Huo'er, don't cry." Follow your brother Ji Dong, and your body will get better. Your brother Ji Dong will definitely bring you back to see your mother when he is free. After leaving here with your brother Jidong, don't be too playful, practice more, strive to become strong as soon as possible, and save your mother from worrying. ”
If it was just to repay the favor, Ji Dong would never let the Eclipse Phoenix Huo'er leave with him, but Suzaku wanted Huo'er to follow his better growth, which made him unable to refuse. His Chaos Fire was still very weak, and he wouldn't use it at all, but he could feel it himself, and it was with a little Chaos Fire that he directly omitted the process of filtering and compressing when he absorbed the external fire elements for cultivation. If it weren't for the fact that he had been helping Huo'er recuperate during this time, his cultivation speed would not be slower than when he hit the three crowns with two crowns.
Suzaku looked at Ji Dong, and let out a loud phoenix chirp from her mouth, and a layer of golden light and shadow suddenly spread out from it, turning into a golden phoenix that was the same as her main form but completely energy form and flew straight towards Ji Dong.
The stagnant air made Ji Dong unable to react, and when the golden phoenix came to him, Ji Dong only felt a feeling of opening up the world appear in his mind-
Ji Dong is about to usher in a new life, what do you want to see? The New Year is coming soon, the junior will definitely complete the update with quality and quantity during the New Year, I hope you don't forget to see your junior when you rest every day during the holiday. Happy New Year.
