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

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

The fire element steamed for about a minute before stopping.

As several people watched, after the flames stopped coming out, they saw more and more cracks on the phoenix eggshell. They 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 working hard for several minutes, finally, a hole appeared in the top of the eggshell, and a small head covered with golden-red fluff emerged from the eggshell. He turned his head and looked around to look at the surrounding environment.

"This is...Phoenix?"

Several people gathered around curiously.

"It looks like a chicken..."

"But the feathers are red..."

"It seems to be stuck. Do you want to help it?"

"No, breaking the shell is a very important process. It's best to let it happen by itself..."



Several people were discussing each other, while the phoenix cub on the ground whose neck was stuck in the eggshell struggled for a while. After finding that it couldn't get out, it had to retract into the eggshell and continue to hit it.

It didn't try to emerge from its shell again until the crack was widened.

This time, the phoenix finally emerged from the shell smoothly, but because its wings could not open, it fell to the ground with its golden-red fluff all over its body.

"Chirp!"

The phoenix seemed to be hurt by the fall, and let out a cry of grievance. He twisted his butt and moved over, biting into the eggshell with a crunch, and soon he ate all the eggshell.

"belch!"

After eating, the little Phoenix burped, opened his mouth and spit out a ball of fire, which instantly heated up the nearby air.

"Chirp?"

Just as the little Phoenix was lying on his back to rest with his stomach filled, a big hand suddenly came over and grabbed it.

Perhaps because he could feel that the person coming had no ill intentions, Phoenix did not struggle and curled up quietly in this hand.

Mu You looked at the fluffy chicken in his hand. The phoenix's body surface was indeed extremely hot, and it was like holding a piece of live coals.

Mu You couldn't hold on for long, so he hurriedly opened the index finger of his other hand and dropped a few drops of blood on its head.

The little guy didn't resist, and the contract ceremony was completed automatically.

The moment the contract was completed, Mu You immediately felt the temperature of the phoenix in his hand drop sharply, turning from charcoal into a ball of slightly warm pompom.

This is not because its own temperature has dropped. The newly born phoenix has not yet restrained the temperature it unconsciously exudes. It is because of the effect of the contract that allows Mu You, the owner, to ignore the magic flame of the contracted pet.

Mu You stretched out his index finger and stroked Little Phoenix's head.

"Chirp chirp..."

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

The Omniscient Crystal feeds back the little guy's attributes.

[Phoenix larvae: A newly born phoenix has a rare high growth rate and a 'loyalty' characteristic. It will automatically die when its master dies completely. Level 1, attack power 15-18, health value: 2200, abilities: fire bomb, nirvana, flame skin. 】

[Fire bomb: spit out a magic fire bomb from the mouth, causing area damage after hitting. 】

[Nirvana: When the phoenix dies, it will turn into a phoenix egg. The phoenix egg can withstand ten attacks. If it is not destroyed within one minute, it will automatically resurrect from nirvana. The cooling time is one day. 】

[Fire Skin: The Phoenix is ​​naturally friendly to flames and has 100% fire resistance. When necessary, it can ignite objects or creatures around it, causing fire damage. 】

A level one phoenix has pretty good attributes. It also has three abilities, all of which are very practical, especially the second 'Nirvana', which is the core ability of all phoenixes. It does not consume magic and will be activated automatically after death. Nirvana and rebirth, it can be said that as long as it is not due to lack of food or being targeted, every phoenix is ​​an immortal existence.

Of course, phoenixes also have a loyal nature. After their master dies, they will die with them. This is why the number of phoenixes has not increased.

"A rare high level of growth..."

Mu You noticed this note in the feedback message.

He has never seen other phoenixes, but judging from the meaning of this description, this phoenix's potential should be very good, right?

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

It’s okay for the breeder to be mistaken, but the omniscient crystal was also mistaken. What could have affected his judgment...

Mu You was wondering when he suddenly saw that the little phoenix in his hand seemed to be stuck in his throat, nodding his head and coughing.

"Did the eggshell you just ate get stuck?" Mu You thought.

As a result, the next second, Phoenix coughed up something, but what he coughed up was not some eggshell crumbs, but a fiery red crystal.

The spar fell to the ground and immediately turned into a ball of fire, burning the nearby grass into a small circle of ashes.

"Hey, why does this ball of fire have eyes?" Xiaoya cried out in surprise.

The flames on the ground had noses and eyes, and their eyes were still moving around to look at the surrounding environment. It looked like a living creature had spontaneously combusted.

Lin Xue and the little girl next to them were also extremely surprised when they saw the flames on the ground that looked like living things.

"This is the fire spirit..."

Mu You then revealed its identity.

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

As early as when the flame first appeared, he recognized it at a glance. This thing had the same appearance as the previous Coke owner's fire spirit, except that it was only a mini version.

"I see."

Vivian flew onto Mu You's shoulder and looked at the flames on the ground thoughtfully.

Mu You also understood what she meant. No wonder the quality of this phoenix egg was considered to be of 'low quality'. In fact, it was originally of very high quality, but it was precisely because of its extremely high quality that by chance, the egg was conceived in it. An accompanying fire spirit, 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 of ordinary quality phoenix eggs.

Mu You used the omniscient crystal to identify the flames.

[Fire spirit larvae: An elemental creature condensed from the pure fire element. When carrying this fire spirit, the fire talent is +2, and the power of fire magic is increased by 30%, and can be used for refining magic potions. Current growth level: infancy (35/1000). 】

It is indeed the Fire Spirit!

Although he is still a larvae and has almost no growth, it is far away to cultivate him to the next stage. It is impossible to use it to improve his weak fire talent.

But for him as a potion master, this fire spirit is still of great significance. Even in its infancy, the fire spirit is enough for refining medicine.

At this time, the fire spirit on the ground seemed to feel the coldness around it, and quickly jumped back to the phoenix, following its mouth and getting back into its body.

Mu You looked at the values. The little phoenix had just been born and its body temperature was not stable. The fire spirit grew five points a day in its body, which was not bad. The main reason was that Mu You could not find a more suitable place to cultivate the fire spirit. Just keep it like this for now.

"Since you are the Fire Phoenix, from now on you will be called Zhen Huohuo."

Mu You gave the little Phoenix a name, then took out a lava bass from the game and fed it to the little Phoenix.

This kind of magic fish that grows in magma is also of fire attribute and is a very delicious food for Phoenix.

The little phoenix got the fish meat given by the master. It fluttered its wings happily and immediately started to eat happily.

"Jiji!"

Just when Mu You and Little Phoenix were enjoying themselves, the cry of a little spider suddenly came from next to them.

Mu You turned around and saw that the little spider was staring angrily at Phoenix, who was eating fish. He waved his two front pincers and exposed a row of fangs in his mouth. He had a fierce look on his face and made a threatening cry towards Phoenix. .

"Chirp!"

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

As a result, this act of disregard made the little spider angry. The little spider immediately screamed louder, took a step forward, bulged 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 webs, its ability to spin webs had also been strengthened, and the size and speed of the webs it spun had been significantly enhanced.

Huohuo didn't realize that others were going to attack it, and was completely unprepared to defend itself at this time, so it was naturally caught by the spider web.

When the spider web hit, it instantly shrank into a ball and rolled far away on the ground with the little phoenix before stopping.

Only then did Huo Huo finally realize that he was being attacked. He struggled on the ground in a panic. Flames naturally ignited on his body, and then the cobwebs all over his body were immediately burned to ashes.

"Chirp!"

The little phoenix, which got up again, was also a little angry, but it was still level one after all. Looking at the ferocious little spider in the distance, it was a little frightened. It quietly circled around, hid behind Muyou, and stretched out its feet to pick up the fish. .

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

"Okay, okay, don't fight!"

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

"grumble!"

The little spider was stopped by Mu You, and he immediately looked at him aggrievedly, his two big eyes quickly filled with mist.

Mu You also had a headache. This phenomenon was obviously the behavior of animals competing for favor.

Apparently the little spider witnessed the birth of the little phoenix, and then saw that Muyou was quite satisfied and caring about it. He immediately became jealous. At the same time, he probably felt that his future status would be threatened, so he instinctively acted. offensive action.

Mu You quickly went to get another loach fish and fed it to the little spider. The little spider finally felt a little more balanced and started eating the fish.

Huohuo on the other side saw that it seemed to have calmed down, and hurriedly picked up his own fish and continued eating.

The two pets looked at each other from time to time while eating, still displeased with each other. Fortunately, they finally stopped fighting.

Mu You smiled helplessly, that's what happens if you have too many familiars. It's like raising a cub. It won't work if you neglect any of them. It seems that you need to pay attention to balance in the future.

But having said that, regardless of the relationship between the two, the little spider seems to be stronger, but in fact, in a real fight, the phoenix should restrain the little spider, because the spider is most afraid of fire, and the phoenix happens to be the incarnation of flame.

No matter what, Mu You was in a good mood after harvesting both a phoenix and a fire spirit today.

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

The store was filled with customers, and there was a constant flow of customers. Mu You looked at the garden, fished and played with his mobile phone.

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

[You have learned the 'Flying Spell' and are currently at LV1. 】

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

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 placed the streamlined red broom on the ground, then moved a little further away and recited the flying spell.

As soon as the spell was spoken, the broom on the ground automatically floated up without any wind, and automatically floated to Mu You's side.

Mu You held the broom with one hand and sat on it.

Riding a flying broom does not involve sitting directly on the broom stick.

After releasing the flying spell, an invisible air cushion 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. At the same time, the air cushion will automatically remain stable. It's so easy to throw someone down.

As Mu You imagined the direction in his mind, the broom suddenly took off like a meteor, bringing a dust tail behind.

Muyou controlled the broom to fly up and down in the entire space. He roughly estimated that the maximum speed could reach 150 kilometers per hour, which was about twice as fast as the full running speed of a chocobo.

Mu You was a little unfamiliar with such fast flying for the first time. He almost hit the wall several times at the beginning. After flying for about ten minutes, he finally got used to the extremely fast changing perspective. He gradually became like an arm and a finger, and it was not spacious. You can freely walk through the space without any collisions when encountering various sharp turns.

This broom is undoubtedly extremely efficient for traveling, but it also consumes very high mana. Depending on the flight speed, the mana consumption per second is between 1 and 10 points. If flying at full speed, the average person can persist for several minutes or ten. You have to stop and rest.

No matter what, after learning the flying spell and having this broom in hand, Mu You can be regarded as half a flying mount. In the future, if he encounters emergencies or roads that are difficult for chocobos, he can just ride on the broom.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, after seeing off the last batch of tourists for the day, the pet shop stopped operating.

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

Muyou went online and first checked the damage of the Ghost.

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

After communicating with the Pandaren, he learned that in the past fourteen hours, the Ghost had been attacked by eight waves of pirates. Although they were all defeated, the Ghost itself had suffered considerable damage. The hull was broken in many places by the bombing, the keel also had some cracks, and the bow was knocked into disarray.

Mu You released the black magic version of the repair spell. Most of the damage to the hull was less than half a day old, so it was not difficult to repair.

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

Of course, in return for the battle damage, a large amount of loot was recorded, including various hull materials, pirate treasures and a bunch of pirate treasures. In addition, three relatively intact small ships were captured.

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

[You have arrived at Beizu Island, which is north of Knuckles Island. Do you want to go ashore? 】

"yes."

Mu You greeted the mermaid in the game, and was originally going to let her wait in the nearby sea. Unexpectedly, the mermaid immediately expressed strong protest after hearing this and insisted on following him to the island.

Mu You was not sure whether she was afraid that he would leave her and run away, or whether he had always wanted to visit the human city. Seeing her persistence, he had no choice but to agree and found her a long skirt and hat to cover her fish tail. and hair, and then found a bamboo basket and asked her to jump into it, and then took her to the island together.

[You and two companions landed on Knuckles Island. 】

[Knuckles Island is also known as Turtle Island. It is named because it resembles a turtle. In addition to the oval main island in the center that forms the "turtle body", there are also peninsulas extending on each side to form the four legs of the turtle. Beizu Island is one of the four peninsulas, and it is also one of the four major ports of Nax Island...]

This turtle-shaped island has four symmetrical peninsulas forming four legs. Each leg is a natural harbor. They are now equivalent to landing on the back right foot of the turtle.

The reason why I chose the northern port is because according to the map of Knuckles Island, there is a very famous 'Knuckles Tavern' on this peninsula. It is said that the food and drinks sold are quite authentic, and the business is booming all year round.

[Knuckles Island is the territory of Octopus King Zubac. Zubac is one of the most notorious sea monsters in the Star Spirit World. It is as huge as a mountain, has infinite strength, and has unfathomable strength. It is an invincible existence on the sea. 】

[When you are on the Octopus King’s territory, you must abide by the rules here. 】

[Within Nax Island, no one is allowed to fight, steal, rob, kill, etc. Otherwise, they will be arrested by the octopus soldiers everywhere and put into the undersea prison below Nax Island. Different crimes are sentenced to different prison terms, and no one has the possibility of escaping before completing the prison term. 】

[It is precisely because of King Octopus's intimidation and strict system management that Nax Island has become one of the cities with the best security in the Star Spirit World. In addition, it is located on a maritime transportation artery. Years of accumulation came down and created this extremely prosperous commercial city. 】

[You have arrived at the 'Knuckles Tavern', do you want to enter? 】

[You entered the tavern with two companions, and the tavern waiter immediately brought you our menu...]

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

Mu You looked at and selected a few items, mainly ordering good wine for the panda people.

In name, he now employs the Pandaren, but in the past few days, he has never given anyone a serious drink. Now that he has the opportunity, he is not stingy. He picked up the most expensive 'gem sake' and gave it to him generously. Got two barrels.

[The panda smiled from ear to ear after listening to your order and praised you for your loyalty. It cost you money this time. It will do its best to help you in the future. 】

This barrel of wine will have a lifespan of fifty years, and the two barrels will be gone for a hundred years. It is a bit painful, but after all, this is what he promised, and he will do what he has to do.

In addition, Mu You also ordered a 'magic steamed fish' for himself. It said that it was a food that could restore mobility. As long as he had a five-year lifespan and could regain full mobility, it would definitely be worth it.

On the mermaid side, Mu You ordered her the cheapest magic ale and some carnivorous side dishes, which only took about two years in total. Anyway, the mermaid has no requirements for human food. He just came here as a novelty and gave her the minimum amount. food on it.

The text in the game indicates that the three of them were eating and drinking happily, but Mu You came to the tavern specifically not just to treat them to a meal, but mainly to collect intelligence.

There is no place easier to obtain information than a tavern at night.
