The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and when they encounter difficulties, since they can't escape, they can only bear it silently. Thinking of this, Chenhua proposed to everyone, "Let's wait here, this jungle is unfathomable, it seems that there are wild beasts infested, a few of us, the road is still shallow, go to the forest to find Sister Yu'er, I am afraid that there is no purpose, and if we can't find anyone, we will lose ourselves, so we will set up camp here, make a fire and cook on the spot, and wait for Sister Yu'er, maybe she smells the fireworks in the jungle, and she will find it, but I don't know." ”

"Well, if you think Sister Yu'er is above us, ordinary beasts or goblins are not her opponents. Let's follow what the third elder brother said, rest here, make a fire to warm up and cook. Ziyan agreed with Chenhua.

"Well, it's a good idea, the stream here is clear, sweet and delicious, surrounded by green grass and green trees, it is a rare place to rest, and it is not too late for us to make some game together, and then we will be on the road when we are full. Maybe before we all could fill our bellies, Sister Yu'er would come back with wild fruits and prey to look for us. Xue Ning also clapped her hands in agreement.

The plan is certain, and several people will divide and cooperate, make a fire for the fire, catch the fish for the fish, Zimo free his hands, and go to a slightly farther place to look for mushrooms, bird eggs and other items for barbecue.

After a quarter of an hour, Zimo ran back in a panic, wrapped in a lot of white mushrooms in his clothes, as well as a few round bird eggs and other things.

Ziyan lit a fire and set up a stand for barbecue food with wood, and Zimo cleaned all the messy mushrooms and bird eggs, wrapped them in a few large plantain-like green leaves, and put them on the fire to barbecue.

The reason why Zimo wanted to bake the mushrooms and bird eggs and eat them was because he knew that the third elder brother and the little elder brother Zijin were delicate and expensive, and they were not used to eating raw food, if he and Ziyan Xue Ning came to eat it, they fox demons could eat these fishy raw foods.

He skillfully roasted the food by the fire, but the next second that the bag of food was placed in the fire, he heard a childish chirp from the leaves, followed by a small thing dressed in fluorescent red, rolled out of the fire, and slipped around the grass several times before stopping.

Seeing this strange thing, it suddenly rolled down from the fire, Rao is demon fox, and he was also startled.

Zimo and Ziyan were so frightened that they jumped away, staring at the little guy in front of them with their eyes, and looked at them carefully.

The red thing in front of him, the bird just came out of the shell, covered with feathers like flames, two black eyes, timidly looking at the few people in front of him, there was both surprise and joy in it.

"Twitter," it chirped happily, tilting its head curiously to look around at the stranger.

"Hee-hee, interesting!" Xue Ning was childlike, seeing the baby like a flame bird in front of her, she couldn't help but step forward and reach out to stroke the bird's head.

"No, Xue Ning! Danger!" Zi Yan was taken aback, and wanted to stop it, but it was too late, the bird had already flown into Xue Ning's palm with a flutter, and rubbed Xue Ning's palm with its delicate head, chirping happily, as if to say, "Master, I finally found you!"

Seeing that the birds were not aggressive, but just intimate with Xue Ning, Ziyan and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

By this time, the mushrooms and other eggs wrapped in the leaves of the trees had been roasted, and in the crackling sound of the fire, they emitted a unique fragrance, which was spread deep into the forest by a gust of wind.

"The rice is cooked, we can start the meal!" Zimo happily greeted everyone.

The flaming bird also chirped, struggling to get to the smelly food, as if to say that it was hungry.

"Don't worry, don't worry, you little one, it's strange, we almost roasted you as food, and you're fine, and now you can't wait to eat our food. ”

Xue Ning approached the fire with a cute bird, Zimo took out a bag of food from the fire, and everyone sat around and began to enjoy it.

When I opened the packet of food, I saw that one of the larger eggshells had cracked and there was nothing inside, thinking that the flame bird hatched from that eggshell, and it was about the time to come out of the shell, just stimulated by external forces, and the escape instinct, it struggled to escape from the fire.

"It's strange, this bird's eggshell exudes a green luster all over its body, and it is large, if it weren't for a small bird that just ran out of the bush, everyone would really look at it as a piece of jade. ”

"What kind of bird's egg is this, it's so weird!" Ziyan asked curiously, looking at the eggshell of the bird in front of him with a stick.

"I don't know, but a long time ago, I heard my mother tell me, she said that in the depths of the mysterious mountain forest, there is a family of fire phoenixes, their feathers are as bright and beautiful as flames, and when the wings of an adult bird are opened, they are several meters long, and they can fly into the clouds and the underworld, and they can do anything. Moreover, if these birds practice enough, they can automatically transform into human form, with a high fire spell, and in addition to the immortal and immortal characteristics of the Divine Bird Clan. However, the mother is just saying that we have never seen such a sacred bird appear. ”

Legend has it that the phoenix has an immortal body, and even if it dies, it will be reborn when it dies. Chenhua listened to Zimo's remarks, and couldn't help but interject.

"Could it be that this bird is the legendary phoenix divine bird?" Xue Ning's two black grape-like eyes radiated excitement, and she lowered her head and looked at the bird, wanting to study it thoroughly.

The bird ignored everyone's curious remarks, it chirped, quickly broke free from Xue Ning's hand, stretched out its long beak, took a roasted bird egg in its mouth, and then swallowed the bird egg with its hard beak.

This scene surprised everyone, Zi Mo was so frightened that he hurriedly protected the pile of food behind him, pointed at the bird and said angrily, "Little bird, you are too much, the little monster that came out of nowhere, as soon as you come, you will rob a few of us of food, you must know that your grandfather and I am still hungry, and my heart is close to my heart." ”

Zimo's funny expression made everyone laugh and bend over, Xue Ning pursed her lips and laughed at Zi Mo and said, "Brother Zimo, just be stingy, this bird will be my pet in the future, and it is one of our big family members, so it is a matter of course to treat it as a matter of course." She walked up behind Zi Mo quickly, and unconsciously took another baked bird's egg, raised her hand, and attracted the bird to her.

The bird was not ambiguous, cooing and chirping, and then quickly ran to Xue Ning, who carefully peeled the eggshell, put it in the palm of her hand, and carefully fed it to the bird.

The bird was not polite, and devoured Xue Ning's snow-white palm greedily, but it was about to be extremely hungry, and accidentally pecked Xue Ning's palm with its pointed long beak. In an instant, bright red blood immediately emerged from the palm of his hand.

"Stupid bird, you kill a thousand knives, you even have to eat human flesh!" Seeing that Xue Ning was injured, Ziyan was about to chase the little bird in a hurry, but Xue Ning protected it behind her and coaxed her sister: "Sister, it didn't mean to, it just starved its stomach." ”

Ziyan ignored the little bird and hurriedly pulled Xue Ning to the stream to wash the wound.

"Oh, sister, you are really the heart of Guanyin Bodhisattva, how many times have I told you, there are many poisonous snakes and beasts in this mountain and wilderness, in addition, there are many strange and unnamed plants and small animals, if they are all like today, it is estimated that we have not yet gone to the place of learning art, and have turned into a pile of white bones. ”

Xue Ning knew that her sister's lesson was right, so she couldn't argue, so she just sneered and said, "Sister, my sister knows, I won't dare next time." ”

Xue Ning, who was cleaning the wounds on her hands by the stream, looked at Zijin swimming freely in the water, busy catching and eating small fish and shrimp, very happy, she smiled and said to Sister Ziyan, "Sister, you see, Zijin has become a stupid fish, it is not without a little benefit, at least he can catch fish and shrimp by himself and feed his stomach self-sufficiently." ”

Ziyan looked at the little fish in the water melancholy and sighed, "What's good, this has just started the trip, and his body is in trouble again, if it goes on like this, half a day for people, half a day for fish, we are busy." ”

"Hey, I don't know what evil the little fish has fallen into? Sister, do you find out, as long as he is not energetic, he is very likely to become the original form. This long road ahead, trekking with small fish, is really difficult, if there is a river stream for him to play all the way, if not, it will be a big trouble. Sister, we also need to prepare a large jar of water and small fish and shrimp for him. ”

"Well, it's not difficult to take him with you, when he transforms into a fish, we can use the spell taught to us by the demon fox father to make him smaller and put it into the fairy fox space where we collect items, which is both safe and convenient. ”

Xue Ning listened to her sister's suggestion and felt that it was very appropriate, it turned out that there was such a spell, and she panicked and forgot to use it. She happily shouted to the little fish in the water, "Little fish, you don't have to be afraid, even if you become a little fish, we will not abandon you, wait, when you are full of food and drink, I will take you into my fairy fox space, so that you don't have to walk hard." ”

As soon as Xue Ning's words fell, she heard a strange sound of shaking leaves from the jungle not far away, the sound was weird and gloomy, not like the sound of the wind blowing.

Xue Ning, Chenhua and Zimo also obviously heard the strange sound, and immediately retreated, protecting Xue Ning behind them, and vigilantly looked at the place where the sound came from in the forest.
