After the two stayed for a while, the village chief said that was all for today. After the two returned to the house, they took a look at Adam. Seeing that he was recovering well, the two of them took a rest.
When Adam woke up the next day, he looked at the tender flesh that had grown from the blood scab that had fallen off, and sighed at the powerful effects of the cordyceps.
Xia Lulu happened to walk in at this time, holding some steaming food in her hands. Her expression was a little unnatural when she saw Adam wake up.
"Are you awake? Let's eat. We just made it."
"Why are you so nice to me today? You even brought me food."
Xia Lulu's pale face showed a hint of blush: "Isn't it because you were injured?"
Adam thanked him and started eating. Looking at Adam eating, Xia Lulu whispered, "I'm sorry."
"Sorry for what?"
"It's okay, my sister will protect you later."
"Don't force yourself, after all, women are afraid of insects, and I've figured out a way."
"The two of us are different now. I'll let you see our changes next time we go out."
"Okay, I'll wait and see."
Xia Lulu asked Adam to take a good rest after eating, while she went to find Laura to continue her insect desensitization.
After Adam finished eating, he also started his own preparations.
Since they are insects, they are naturally afraid of two things, one is fire, and the other is birds.
And Adam happened to have seen a creature that met these two conditions at the same time, and that was the fire phoenix.
But thinking about the opponent's powerful strength, Adam didn't know if he could still stay awake after revealing the opponent.
"It would be great if there was a living fire phoenix. I don't know when the phoenix egg Xia Lulu got will hatch."
Anyway, with nothing to do, Adam took out the separate space for storing phoenix eggs from his storage space.
After opening it, Adam took it out and looked at the dome that was still there.
The warm touch is extremely comfortable, and you can feel the majestic vitality inside through the eggshell.
"What a magical creature. I don't know why you were trapped in that sunset tree."
As he said this, Adam suddenly realized something. He took out a Luoxia fruit, cut it open, squeezed out the juice and dripped it on the phoenix egg.
As the juice seeped into it, Adam felt that the vitality in it seemed to be increasing, so he squeezed the entire fruit onto the egg.
Just when he was about to stop, the phoenix egg began to gradually heat up.
Adam quickly put it back into a separate storage space, and immediately started looking for Xia Lulu's location with it.
By the time he arrived, the storage space was starting to feel hot to the touch.
Xia Lulu, who was learning to weave with silk, was a little unhappy at the sudden interruption, but when she saw that the person coming was Adam, she knew that there must be something urgent for him to be so anxious.
Before Xia Lulu could say anything, Adam quickly pointed to the increasingly hot storage space and said, "This phoenix egg seems to be about to burst."
Without enough time to notify Laura, Xia Lulu immediately transformed her wings and took Adam to fly away quickly. If the Phoenix were to be reborn here, the entire Mushroom Village would be turned into a sea of fire.
Gradually, the temperature of the storage space became unbearable for Adam. When Xia Lulu saw that the distance was about the same, she asked Adam to open the space.
A pillar of fire shot out from it, and the high temperature made Adam's hair smell burnt.
As the saying goes, enemies are extremely jealous when they meet each other. As soon as the figure of Fire Phoenix appeared from the pillar of fire, it immediately launched an attack on Xia Lulu.
"I'll let you down first. It's too dangerous here."
Xia Lulu threw Adam directly to the ground, regardless of how Adam landed.
Fortunately, Adam reacted quickly and drew a pair of wings urgently. Although he couldn't fly, it was enough for him to land smoothly.
Looking at the fire that continued to erupt in the sky, Adam didn't know how Xia Lulu should respond this time, but the increasingly dense rustling sounds around him told him that what he should worry about now was his own safety.
Taking out the painting blade, Adam carefully hid his figure, not to hide but to prevent the opponent from predicting the direction of his attack.
When the rustling sound got closer and closer, Adam could see clearly what he was about to face.
A long-legged spider with a human face came out. A pair of claws on the front of its head were twitching continuously, and the fangs at the end of the claws flashed with dangerous light.
Adam was relieved to see that it wasn't a giant praying mantis, but the spider didn't look like someone to be trifled with.
Seeing that the opponent was walking towards him, Adam nervously clenched his double blades. Just when he was about to attack, a huge centipede suddenly rushed out not far from him and attacked the ghost-faced spider directly. .
The fight between the two giant insects saved Adam. While his scalp was numb, he also more clearly realized the danger of this fourth level.
He quietly withdrew from the battlefield and hid in a tree after confirming again. Looking at the still fierce battle in the sky, he secretly cheered for Xia Lulu in his heart. As long as they could conquer this fire phoenix, their journey to the fourth level would be smooth sailing. .
Xia Lulu on the other side was also very strange at this time. According to previous experience, the phoenix would automatically recognize its master as long as it was defeated and resurrected. But now, let alone recognizing its master, it seemed that it would die with her.
"What went wrong?" Xia Lulu couldn't figure out the current situation.
There was no way she could defeat Huo Feng with just her frontal strength without a plot, and there was no way to defeat Huo Feng if she continued to do so. Xia Lulu could only bear the pain and decided to give up.
After dodging a line of fire again, she immediately turned around and flew downwards, with the fire phoenix chasing after her.
As she approached the ground, Xia Lulu immediately got into a forest, then immediately transformed into a bat and flew towards the direction where Adam landed.
Having lost its target, the fire phoenix began to indiscriminately let its flames ravage the entire forest. The firelight illuminated the originally dim underground city until it was like daylight on the ground.
After going crazy for a while, the Phoenix's anger seemed to be vented. It adjusted its posture and flew in the direction of Adam.
When Xia Lulu saw this, she thought she had been discovered. In order not to injure Adam, she quickly changed directions, but Huofeng went straight to Adam regardless.
"Is it because it can't find me and wants to attack Adam?"
Xia Lulu quickly transformed back into her human form and spread her wings again to quickly catch up.
At this time, the battle between the two giant insects was coming to an end. The ghost-faced spider had been tightly entangled by the giant centipede, and its body had stopped struggling under the influence of its venom.
After the centipede dealt with the spider, it did not eat immediately, but moved towards the big tree where Adam was hiding.
Adam did not notice this at this time. He was anxiously looking for Xia Lulu who had disappeared.
It wasn't until he heard the rustling sound behind him that he realized that he had been discovered by the centipede.
Just when he raised his swords to fight, a line of fire directly burned the centipede to ashes, and the fire phoenix was looking at Adam tightly with its wings.
