Chapter 158: Grandma's Lair
The moon was starry and the birds in the trees had rested, except for the wheezing of the monks in the forest, which was very harsh in the silence of the forest.
The fire spirit bird has a short temper, this forest has been visited by few creatures for many years, and the filth on the ground has never been cleaned, like mud, and it sinks down to the ankle with every step.
You Ziji has the ability to walk in the wind, and among the four, he is the only one who does not have filth on his shoes.
The woods are dense on the outside and sparse on the inside, but there is no change in space, just because the further inside, the thicker the trees become, and the more developed the root system becomes, Ling Yue finds a tall and uplifted root, which is finally a clean place, although she is no longer clean.
In the middle of the forest is a huge ancient tree, hanging down hundreds of aerial roots, forming a forest on its own.
In the canopy of the tree is the nest of the leader of the Fire Spirit Bird, which uses the entire ancient tree as a framework and slowly accumulates materials to get to its current size.
"This is the fire spirit bird's nest?" Ling Yue exclaimed, she had been in Tianhai Lake for a while, but she had never seen such a scene.
"If you don't cultivate enough, the uncles will tell you every time, otherwise, with you and your various personalities, sooner or later you will have to cause trouble here." Ling Qing said as he spoke, his mood gradually declined, the uncle who once loved them had already been killed by You Split, and at this moment they were still on the run, so they had no interest in playing.
The two next to them don't have so many scruples.
You Ziji raised his head and looked at the towering ancient tree, and sighed: "The nest is so big, how big must the grandmother of the fire spirit bird be." ”
"Grandma?" Mei Yi didn't agree with this statement, "With such a large ethnic group, I'm afraid you have to be a grandmother." ”
The conversation between the two made Ling Yuejiao laugh and dilute her sadness, but when she saw You Ziji, her sadness completely turned into anger.
You Ziji felt a chill down his spine when he met Ling Yue's gaze, and he was secretly bitter in his heart, and Mei Yi couldn't stand it anymore and stood aside. Fortunately, Ling Yue did not retaliate directly, she was a sensible person, You Ziji had to push her in to help her, and she naturally had to take the opportunity to help him repay him.
In the distance, the figure of the monks of the Mountain and River Gang loomed, obviously about to catch up.
"Senior brother, they're here."
Ling Qing's eyes flashed, and he said to You Ziji: "Let's go find the leader's Ling Yu." ”
"How do you find it? Grandma is sleeping in the nest. ”
You Ziji asked rhetorically, and just as he met Ling Qing's shining eyes, he suddenly felt bad.
"Wouldn't it be nice if we woke it up. Brother You, your fire control method is very powerful, and you will set the fire later. ”
You Ziji was taken aback, "Set fire? In the house of the fire spiritbird? What a lack of virtue, I don't do it. Isn't the red feather fan in your hand, or you should set it on fire? ”
Ling Qing shook her head, "I'm going to find Ling Yu in the lair, do any of you know anyone other than me?" ”
You Ziji thought about it for a while, and said, "You can let Sister Lingyue use a red feather fan." ”
"The red feather fan needs to be brought with me, otherwise how will I know that the feather is suitable. Otherwise, you go to Lingyu, and I'll set it on fire. ”
Grandma is a spirit beast in the Xuan Realm, and You Ziji doesn't dare to provoke it, "No, I'll set it on fire." ”
"Senior sister, lend me your sword."
Ling Qing flew to the canopy with his sword, found a hidden place and hid in. Ling Yue and Mei Yi were far away, and Mei Yi even used the materials she was carrying to create a simple formation to cover her breath, which made Ling Yue's eyes shine.
"You actually know how to form, I really can't see it, how smart you are."
It's the first time Mei Yi has heard such a boast, his face is full of black lines, isn't such a simple formation the basic skill of a monk, and besides, did he look stupid before.
You Ziji stood under the tree, and he was ready. The Samadhi True Fire in the True Fire Furnace in his body had already been replenished, but it was only obtained by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and it could not be directly manipulated with his realm. I had to make the envoy just recover a little true qi, and it turned into a wisp of samadhi true fire through the real fire furnace.
The ancient tree is tall, and the crown of the tree is more than 20 zhang from the ground, and the wanderer Jiyun makes the palm force of splitting the air, pushing the true fire of Samadhi into the air and submerging it into the canopy.
In the distance, several leaders of the Shanhe Gang felt bad when they saw You Ziji standing under the tree. I saw him send a ray of flame into the air, directly breaking the illusion in his heart.
"Hey! That boy, what are you doing, don't die. ”
"Boy, you're crazy."
"I can't escape, and you don't want to live!"
Sure enough, the flames entered the canopy, ignited when they met the trees, and rose in the wind, and in an instant the flames covered the entire nest, and the huge nest was like a bonfire, shining brightly in the dark night.
This behavior was like attacking the entire flock of fire spirit birds, and they immediately became in a commotion, hovered overhead, and watched for a moment, some of them rushing to their nests to the chirping of their leaders, and the other part of them searched for the enemy in the forest on their own.
This was a pain for the monks in the forest, they didn't care about continuing to walk, they all increased their speed, scattered and fled, and several Xuan Realm Commander Imperial Envoys rose into the sky, wanting to get out of here.
A massive exodus has officially begun.
As the restlessness grew, the Fire Spirit Bird, which was not affected on the periphery at first, also joined in, chasing and fighting the monks of the Shanhe Gang along the way.
The monks of the Xuan Realm who rose to the sky also encountered danger, although their realm was profound, but the sky was the domain of birds, although they only had the strength of the foundation realm, they were much more flexible than humans. Coupled with the hundreds of thousands of them, surrounded and impacted in the air in a fixed queue, like a battle formation, I am afraid that only the Mochizuki Realm monks can leave unharmed.
One of the leaders of the sword, the fastest, the more care received, the fire spirit bird group attacked repeatedly, the iron claw silver hook tore the monk's body, the fire poison carried in the body, injected into the monk's body, burning the dantian meridians, the monk soon ran out of strength, the sword qi slashed repeatedly, only a few wounds were cut on the steel bone and iron body of the fire spirit bird.
In the end, it was torn into several pieces, and before it hit the ground, it was burned by the flames that burst out of its body. After a fight, only seven or eight Fire Spirit Birds were killed during the encounter, and no substantial damage was done after that.
When the commanders saw the fate of their colleagues, they did not dare to break through the air again, and they landed one after another, joining the fleeing army below. Along the way, there were many casualties and many good hands were lost.
You Ziji is also not safe, half of the birds in the air fly here, he does not dare to stay, he runs into the air roots of the ancient forest, hides his true qi fluctuations, lies in the hidden place and does not move, this operation he has long been familiar with.
But he missed a point, although the fire spirit bird in the sky is a spirit animal, it is generally the habit of an animal when it survives. They can rely on the fluctuations they feel to find enemies, and they can also rely on their own eyes to spot enemies.
The fire spirit bird feeds on the fireflies in the mountains, and its eyesight is naturally excellent. You Ziji hid under the air roots, not feeling safe, but his temples jumped suddenly, and his body trembled uncontrollably. It was an instinctive reaction when his life was threatened, more dangerous than all the dangers he had encountered since he was born.
The fire spirit bird in the air divided into a team and swooped down, and You Ziji heard the wind, and did not look back, and immediately got up and fled.
"Boom, boom!"
You Ziji rang three times behind him, and the fire spirit bird then smashed itself into the root of the tree, which was even more powerful than the siege artillery. The scattered sawdust sprayed onto You Ziji's back, and he didn't even have time to use the spell, so he could only use his body to speed up.
Ling Yue and Mei Yi in the distance hurriedly came to the rescue, Mei Yi threw out a rope made of vines, which was caught in your hand by You Ziji.
In this way, the fire spirit bird had already caught up, and the air flow brought by the flapping of its wings had already sprayed onto You Ziji. At the last moment, You Ziji had an idea, cast the wolf figure law body, and his whole body exuded the coercion of a wolf king-like superior, and the movements of the birds suddenly stagnated, and Ling Yue took the opportunity to exert his strength and dragged You Ziji out.
It's just that his strength is a little too big, You Ziji's body lost his balance and fell into bird feces, and Ling Yue finally got out of her heart.
Before the two of them could stand still, Mei Yi was shocked: "They are here again!" ”
You Ziji looked up, and a group of fire spirit birds swooped down in the air, seemingly attracted by the power of the wolf figure law body.
"What did you just do with the Dharma Body, why did you bring down another group."
Mei Yi trembled, didn't want to stay for a moment, and said repeatedly: "Don't worry about this, let's run." ”
The Fire Spirit Bird was able to easily find the location of a few people, and the formation set up by Mei Yi before was naturally useless, and the three of them had to run out of the forest to join the fleeing team.
Lingqing hid in the shadows, and when You Ziji lit the nest and caused a commotion among the birds, he took the opportunity to jump on top of the nest.
In the eye, there is a huge fire spirit bird spreading its wings at the bottom of the nest, Ling Qing is the first time to see this kind of leader spirit beast, its body is at least three times more than the ordinary fire spirit bird, but this nest is still too large for it.
The leader of the Fire Spirit Bird flapped his wings and flew into the sky, directing the flock of birds that were gathering, and the huge wings caused a lot of storms, more powerful than ordinary storm spells.
Lingqing waited until it left, slid down the inner wall of the nest, and after landing, he saw that the down feathers of the birds were under his feet, very soft and warm, and there was something blocking him at his feet, which was round. Ling Qing's heart moved, and he peeled off the down feathers, and it was indeed the egg of the fire spirit bird.
It turns out that the clan that gave birth to the leader was to centralize the management of the eggs.
This environment has increased Ling Qing's workload, and it is not easy for him to find the feathers that have fallen off the leader of the Fire Spirit Bird. He rummaged left and right, but found nothing. If you want to use a red feather fan and are afraid of burning the eggs, you will be fighting with the fire spirit bird group.
With an idea, he took out the wing fan with only the handle left, and cast a trick to attract the down feathers from all over the place, leaving a large area at the bottom of the nest near him.
As his spell stirred, more and more down feathers flew into the air mixed with other small things. Suddenly, a red light attracted Ling Qing's attention, and Ling Yu reached out and grabbed the object.
This is the feather that the fire spirit bird retreated, but unfortunately the condition is not good, it is a half-cut, Ling Qing left it behind and continued to look for it.
Outside the nest, although the flames seem to be scorching, they are actually only burning on the outside, and they do not affect the inside, which is something that the fire spirit bird considered when building its nest.
Hundreds of fire spirit birds, led by their leaders, absorbed the power of the flames and stored them in their bodies. The power of the Samadhi True Fire is a bit unbearable for the spirit beasts, except for the leader who can be compared to the cultivation of the Xuan Realm, the other fire spirit birds can not withstand it after absorbing only a wisp of flame. Although the number is huge, it only contains two-thirds of the flames, and the leader takes care of the rest.
Then, the birds form a queue and swoop down to excrete their droppings towards the burning place, covering the trunks of the branches and trees that still have residual heat and sparks, and isolating them from the air.
Extinguish the flames and the next step is to drive the enemy out of their homes. But the leader of the fire spirit bird let out a scream at this moment and returned to the nest as fast as he could.
Ling Qing's movements were so big that he rolled almost all the down feathers in the nest into the air, forming a huge pom-pom, which was really impossible not to attract attention.
Fortunately, he finally found a suitable feather, four feet long, red all over, with a dark glow around the edges, which was the fire poison emitted by the Fire Spirit Bird.
Before he could be happy, the leader of the fire spirit bird had already returned to the nest, and when he saw that Ling Qing had made a mess of the place, he was very angry and swooped down, grabbing Ling Qing's head with his iron claws.
Ling Qing put away the magic weapon in his hand and jumped to the center of the bird's egg, and the down feathers in the air had no strength to maintain, so they suddenly collapsed and fell down.
The leader of the Fire Spirit Bird looked huge, but his movements were very light, and when he saw Ling Qing hiding in the middle of the egg, he was afraid of destroying the offspring, so he turned around and stretched himself up again, returning to the air.
Ling Qing said to it: "You let me out first, otherwise the eggs here will be broken, and no one will be able to make up for your loss." ”
The leader of the fire spirit bird can understand human nature, it understands what Ling Qing means, and moves back a few feet, leaving room for Ling Qing to leave.
Ling Qing raised the red feather fan, and the whole person flew out of the nest with the feather fan.
The moment he left the nest, a flock of vengeful fire spirit birds swarmed up.
"It's really urgent."
Ling Qing raised the feather fan, and a large number of flames rose into the sky, turning into a ring of fire, enclosing the flock of fire spirit birds in it. Only its leader can continue the pursuit.
The leader of the fire spirit bird rushed over, its copper skin and iron bones and the flames burning on its body, it was terrifying, and people did not dare to resist. Ling Qing took out the Qingfeng sword on his waist and faced it-for-tat, and with a sword roar resounding through the heavens and the earth, the sword in his hand was gone, and a lightning bolt suddenly appeared in the sky, blocking the path that the leader of the fire spirit bird must pass.
There was a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and the sound of the thunder rumbled, and the leader of the fire spirit bird was struck by the lightning, and this was not over, the lightning did not disappear, but rolled towards the body of the fire spirit bird like a python.
The flames and thunder and lightning complemented each other, making bursts of explosions, and even the leader of the Fire Spirit Bird was greatly affected, and his body was uncontrollable, unable to fly and fall.
But it did not admit defeat, the flames on its body became more and more intense, and it turned into a firebird, breaking free from the shackles of the thunder python.
The thunder python flew back upside down and turned into the original appearance of the Qingfeng Sword.
The firebird grew bigger and bigger, and followed the backlash.
Ling Qing pinched the trick in his hand, and the light in his eyes flashed, urging the Qingyang Flying Fire Sword to the extreme, the Qingfeng Sword flashed away, the speed surged, slashed through the air, and made an explosion, and the next open, a thunderbolt fell, illuminating the night sky all day.
Then, the thunder collided with the firebird, bursting into a more lasting light, and finally disintegrating in all directions, like fireworks.
After the firelight disappeared, Ling Qing had already disappeared. Only the leader of the Fire Spirit Bird was left in the air to lose his temper.
One of You Ziji's strength is not good, the other has not yet recovered, only Ling Yue still has some combat strength, and he is naturally not enough to see in front of the two teams of fire spirit birds, so he can only run forward.
Then the fireworks that suddenly appeared in the sky attracted the attention of the Fire Spirit Birds, and the next moment, Ling Qing had returned to them.
"It's successful, let's go."
With that, Ling Qing raised the feather that had fallen from the leader of the Fire Spirit Bird and shook it, releasing the breath that belonged to it alone. The Fire Spirit Bird, which was about to continue the attack, suddenly panicked and stiffened. You Ziji and the others took the opportunity to escape.
Along the way, Ling Qing used this method to open the way and left this place smoothly. I didn't hear until I ran out of the woods.
This is already the periphery of Tianhai Lake.
There was a fire shining in front of him, and the monks of the Shanhe Gang who fled in this direction should not be strong.
Ling Qing didn't take everyone over directly, but handed the red feather fan and Ling Yu in his hand to You Ziji, and said, "Brother You, when I finish solving this group of people, I will protect you, and cultivate with peace of mind to restore your strength." ”
You Ziji pushed the red feather fan back, "I won't use it, you are more suitable for this red feather fan than me." ”
Ling Qing didn't take back the feather fan, "This was originally Brother You's magic weapon, I just borrowed it, and now it's time to return it." And then we're going to split up, you need something to defend yourself, and if you're in danger, you can lend the feather fan to Ling Yue, she can play a good role. ”
Ling Yue listened on the sidelines and said anxiously, "Senior brother, where are you going?" Why don't you take me there? ”
"I'm going back to rescue the other fellow disciples."
You Split of the Mountains and Rivers Gang is still in Tianhai Lake, he is a monk of the Moon Gazing Realm, although Ling Qing is now stronger, he is still not You Split's opponent, this time he will go back to die for a lifetime, but as a senior brother, he naturally can't give up his junior brothers and sisters.
Ling Yue knew this, and she didn't want to persuade her, so she just said, "I'll go back with you." ”
"Senior sister, listen to my brother's words, I may not be able to come back if I go, I must always leave some incense for the master."
You Ziji interjected on the side: "Since this is the case, then this red feather fan needs to be given to you even more." ”
Ling Qing was about to say something, but suddenly there was a sound of discussion in the distance, so he had to give up.
"Let's wait until we're done with these people."
On the edge of the grass in front of the four of them, two people were untying their hands, and they were still chatting.
One of them said: "Don't worry, I saw Ling Qing fighting with a huge fire spirit bird, that's not looking for death, several of our commanders are dead inside, he must also be dead, except for the master of the Moon Gazing Realm, no one can escape from there." ”
