Chapter 36: Phoenix
In the endless mountain range, there is a red forest, it is rumored that there is a divine beast phoenix inhabited in it, in the cultivation world, there are many people who aim to tame the phoenix, but unfortunately the phoenix clan is generally extremely cautious, once there is a strong person inhabiting the territory, they will immediately flee quietly, and they will not drag the mud and water.
For this reason, there are very few people who can catch the phoenix as a mount divine beast.
At this time, on the periphery of the mangrove forest, a group of cultivators gathered, the divine beast phoenix was extremely cautious, afraid of the strong, but if it was a weak person, it would disdain it.
There were ten people in total, both men and women, and the first was a fat and tall woman.
Xu Sheng was also in the crowd, his expression was depressed, and his eyes were helpless.
"Everyone, inside is the mangrove forest where the mythical beast phoenix lives, the phoenix is notoriously timid and afraid, and when it sees the strong, it runs, but we are different, we are the weak, and the mythical beast phoenix will only despise us. The obese woman was full of fighting spirit, her demeanor was hot, and she said loudly: "Although we are weak, as long as we work hard, we will always become stronger, and capturing the phoenix is our first step!"
"That's right, as long as we catch the phoenix, the next step is to improve our cultivation!" Long Aofeng also said enthusiastically.
Everyone was very moved to hear it, as if the blood in their whole body was boiling, except for Xu Sheng's depressed face.
He knew very well that it was impossible for these people to succeed, no matter how the divine beast could be said to be a divine beast, these people's cultivation was low, and they couldn't even deal with the demon beast, so they dared to want to capture the divine beast, Xu Sheng really wanted to know if they were sick in the brain, and what kind of mentality did the elder who issued such a task have?
Just when Ruhua was about to lead everyone into the red number, there was a sudden dusty flight not far away, and there was a group of outer disciples who were not self-sufficient.
They were obviously also coming for the Divine Beast Phoenix.
"Oops, there are too many disciples outside, that mission has spread, let's go into the mangrove forest and look for the divine beast phoenix. Ruhua was in a hurry and took the lead in running into the mangrove forest.
The rest followed.
Xu Sheng chased after him helplessly with doubts in his heart, he wanted to take the opportunity to escape, but he didn't run as fast as the fat girl, and it was easy to be caught up.
Although Ruhua is obese in appearance, her body is extremely flexible, and there is a trace of snake steps between her walks, as if she is a person who practices martial arts, and she still practices special martial arts.
Soon, everyone entered the mangrove forest, and as soon as they entered, the branches and leaves of the trees trembled, and the red birds hovered in the air.
"Let's go deeper, and the elder wrote on the notice that as long as the weak enter the phoenix habitat, there will be no danger, because the phoenix doesn't bother to make a move, don't be afraid. Ruhua took the lead in running ahead, and was a little worried that the younger brothers would retreat, so she spoke out to encourage her.
Everyone ran and gradually came to a lotus pond, the buds were waiting to be released, and there was a faint fragrance in the air.
"Ruhua girl, it's not a way for us to run aimlessly like this, let's spread out and find it. Xu Sheng smelled the fragrance of flowers and made suggestions.
"Well, I think it's better that way, too. Long Aofeng nodded slightly.
"Boss, eldest sister, I don't think it's good, this is the place of the Divine Beast Phoenix, even if the elder explains that the Phoenix does not hurt the weak, but there is always a case, we can only deal with the danger if we are united. A tall, thin man suddenly asked.
"What you said makes sense......" Long Aofeng touched his chin and pondered.
"It's really troublesome, why don't you go together, I'll leave the team and look for it personally. Ruhua said with a big grin.
"No, I'll worry about you. Long Aofeng immediately objected.
"Two, since you can't make up your mind, it's better to withdraw first, and it's not too late to act when everyone has discussed the best plan. Xu Sheng had no choice but to say.
"No, we're already in, where is the reason to retreat? Ruhua shook her head and said.
"Forget it, I'll leave the team and go to the Phoenix Nest by myself, you and I are not related, so you shouldn't worry about me. Xu Sheng didn't want to grind, just take a step and leave.
"Daoyou......" Long Aofeng wanted to say something to stop him, but he was stopped by Ruhua.
They didn't stop it, let alone their little brothers.
Xu Sheng calmly walked towards a pile of bushes, and then his figure disappeared.
The people who remained in place looked at each other.
At this time, those outside disciples who later also rushed here, and after they saw Ruhua and the group, they didn't stay, and went straight deeper.
"Let's go from the other direction......" Ruhua continued to lead the way in front.
At the same time, Xu Sheng came to a black pool, surrounded by purple weeds.
Out of curiosity, he walked over to the waterhole and examined the weeds, the blades of which shimmered slightly.
He looked around again and saw that the area was relatively empty, centered on the waterhole, and the mangrove forest did not grow here.
Xu Sheng's gaze fell on the black pool, and the surface of the water was calm without ripples.
His instinct told him that there was something unusual in the waterhole.
He suppressed the curiosity in his heart and turned to leave, no matter what was in the waterhole, it was not something that he, an outer disciple, could explore, and it was still the most stable to leave.
Xu Sheng returned the same way, he just told everyone that he was going to find the phoenix alone, that was a lie, he would not go to death.
After walking out of the bushes, a familiar road appeared in front of him, and there should have been Ruhua and others gathered in front of him, but now they were gone, and there were messy and complicated footprints on the ground.
"They don't know if they have been kicked by a donkey, and they really dare to catch any phoenix, even if the phoenix disdains to hurt the weak, they can't just provoke it. Xu Sheng mourned for those people for three seconds in his heart, and then set out on his way home.
Before he had taken a few steps, there was a sudden slight shock on the ground.
"Is there an earthquake?" Xu Sheng was stunned.
Suddenly, a hot wind rushed from behind.
His expression froze, and when he turned to look, he saw a phoenix flying in the sky not far away, blazing with flames.
