The next day, everyone continued to be busy with the arranged work.
Ye Xing and Qin Jingxuan set off from the south side of the beach. This time they brought water and dry food, and informed everyone that their return date had not yet been determined. This time they also brought two flying eagles.
Along the coastline, we stepped on the high and low rocks and observed while walking, using telescopes from time to time.
There are many types of rocks, with different colors and strange shapes. They are often cliffs, so walking is very slow. In addition, Ye Xing uses a hammer to break rocks from time to time and looks at them carefully for a long time, which makes it even slower.
Qin Jingxuan was spoiled, but with the third level of Qi refining, she was still able to persevere.
Seeing Ye Xing walking around, she was very puzzled, "What are you doing breaking stones?"
Ye Xing said, "We can't use a wooden boat to leave this island. It will definitely be smashed by sea monsters and big fish, so it's best to use metal to make the boat. I want to find an iron ore or other metal minerals. "
The two of them walked slowly along and gained nothing at all. It could be said that except for the trees, they found nothing new. The tree species were extremely monotonous and there were no fruits on the trees.
There are many big fish appearing on the sea from time to time, and there are also big birds, all of which are much bigger than flying eagles. There are more common fishing seagulls and other birds on the sea, which are very big. From time to time, they plunge into the water and catch a fish.
There are fewer trees on the coast, and there is only one big tree at a distance. The ground is full of rocks, and it is almost impossible for grass to grow.
The two of them had been walking all day, and the scenery was still the same. They were tired, so they found a big tree and built a temporary shelter. They could only rest here tonight.
Ye Xing also went to the beach to catch some fish, which he could only roast and eat. He roasted them for the two eagles first, and then each of them ate one.
Before it got dark, Ye Xing climbed to the top of the tree and looked around with a telescope. He found that there was still a group of birds far away under the sunset. It seemed that something was attracting the birds over there. group.
Ye Xing circulated his true energy in his eyes, and tried his best to adjust the telescope, feeling that there should be something abnormal there.
Ye Xing asked Qin Jingxuan, "How many miles south did we walk today?"
Qin Jingxuan said, "It is estimated to be 6 or 70 miles. Walking along the coast, the route is not very straight. It is high and low, so it is difficult to estimate."
Ye Xing said, "I looked through the telescope and saw that the southeast direction is a bit special. The sky is full of red clouds. If you don't go along the coast tomorrow, let's look there."
Qin Jingxuan said, "That's fine! There's nothing special along the way along the coast. It's better for us to find a target."
The two of them didn't talk any more. They just sat quietly and practiced under the starlight. They both knew that meditation can better restore physical strength, especially Ye Xing. After the continuous influx of starlight, his mind became relaxed and he frowned all day long. The exhibition seemed to have passed.
Early the next morning, the two set a direction and headed southeast, this time going directly through the woods.
There were obviously more low plants in the woods, and they became more and more dense the further in. Because there was no road at all, it was extremely difficult to move forward, and I had to take out a knife to cut the way.
Compared to the place ashore, the coast there is very low and there are no short plants in the woods. It should be because the sea water is often soaked. However, the coast here is very high, at least as high as a hundred feet, so there are many plants and rich layers.
There are also many animals, which seem to be relatively normal. Many species are ones that Ye Xing has never heard of. They may be very small when seeing people, but they are not afraid of people, and they are not particularly large.
The two noticed that it was also very humid and vapory here, and a lot of medicinal materials appeared on the ground from time to time. At first, they were very excited and picked a lot, but they soon lost interest, unless they were really old. The two of them picked the outrageous medicinal materials and put them in the package.
But after a while, these medicinal materials no longer interested the two of them, and they were really full of baggage.
Because the forest was too dense, it was difficult to move forward, so they relied on cutting down trees to move forward. Even though the two of them were considered masters and the long knives in their hands were sharp, they were still too tired to speak.
What's even more annoying is that all kinds of poisonous insects and snakes keep attacking the two of them. The two of them have powerful spiritual senses and can detect them early. But there are too many poisonous creatures, so the two of them have no choice but to jump to the tree and jump from the branches to move forward.
Ye Xing guided Qin Jingxuan from time to time on how to use Qing Gong, but she found it quite interesting to move like this.
Fortunately, there were two eagles guiding the two of them in mid-air, otherwise they would have lost track of where they were going in the dense forest.
The two of them came to a very large tree. Ye Xing went to the top of the tree and cut off a lot of branches. He checked the compass and confirmed the direction of the brilliant glow seen yesterday before taking out the telescope to observe.
There is no glow in broad daylight, but on a clear day, in that direction, a telescope can be seen, probably thirty miles away, there is an obvious hill. The hill is the same as the stone mountain seen the day before yesterday, it is also a stone mountain about a hundred feet high. There are also not many trees on the stone mountain, but there are towering trees around the stone mountain, and it is obviously a paradise for birds, with birds flying around from time to time.
Ye Xing asked Qin Jingxuan to come up and pointed in the direction for her to take a look.
Qin Jingxuan also took out the telescope and looked in that direction for a long time.
Qin Jingxuan said, "There are many birds there, and it seems to be a concentrated residence of birds. The hill is almost the same as the hill where we went ashore. It's just that there are no animals over there, but this is a paradise for birds."
Ye Xing nodded and said, "Let's go over and take a look, but we don't know if we can get close there. We'd better let Fei Ying send the news back to reassure everyone."
The two gathered the herbs into two large packages, let the two eagles come down, tied them to their feet, and attached a brief letter.
The two of them waited in this tree for a long time. The two eagles came back and brought back a letter from Gu Ming. Ye Xing looked very unhappy after reading it.
Qin Jingxuan asked, "What happened?"
Ye Xing handed the letter to her and said, "The tide has risen over there, and the water level has risen a lot. It has reached the top of the beach. Everyone is working hard to move, and they are moving important things to the cave we decided the day before yesterday."
Qin Jingxuan read the letter and said, "They are both people who have fought a hundred battles. They will handle these matters on their own. We are more than a hundred miles apart now and there is nothing we can do to help. Even if there are two more of us, it will be of no use."
Ye Xing's face softened slightly and he said, "That's right! Let's approach the hill slowly, and be careful whether those birds will attack us."
The two of them continued to jump between the branches, and they also kept using the breathing method unique to the Qi refining period to relax their bodies and become light. It was considered to be training Qinggong.
The two eagles flew in front of and behind the two people from time to time, scouting the way forward for the two of them. They did not go to the center of the island, so the two birds were not afraid anymore.
In the evening, the two of them were less than ten miles away from the target stone mountain.
The two people's jumps among the trees caused a wave of frightened birds to fly around. The two eagles did not dare to be arrogant anymore. They folded their wings and followed the two people only to jump between the branches.
The two came to a big tree, frightened all the birds away, and then climbed to the top of the tree. They found that the sky was full of colorful clouds under the sunset again, and many birds flew forward again, and the sounds of the birds were very loud and mixed. .
Ye Xing took out the telescope and looked forward. He was stunned and shocked. He pointed forward without saying a word.
Qin Jingxuan noticed that Ye Xing's expression was strange, so she hurriedly took out the telescope, looked forward, and was immediately stunned.
In the rays of light ahead, there is an extremely beautiful big bird flying in the sky. The seven-color feathers on its body are extremely colorful. Although this large ray of light has the effect of sunset, it is more because of the beauty of the very large bird in the sky. flying birds.
Countless birds formed countless scattered groups in the sky, flying among the colorful clouds, and heard high-pitched calls from time to time.
Qin Jingxuan stayed for a long time, then took a long breath and said, "That's the legendary divine bird Phoenix! Well, and it's not a real phoenix, but a phantom image of a phoenix appearing in the sky."
Ye Xing said, "That is indeed a shadow! It is a shadow that appears in the sunset. This is what I saw yesterday."
Qin Jingxuan said, "Ancient books say that the phoenix is the king of birds and the god of birds, so the birds are waiting here."
Ye Xing picked up a flying eagle and asked it to look at the sky in the distance. The flying eagle screamed for a while, then broke away from Ye Xing's hand and flew out. The other one also flew up immediately, and then the same There was a loud cry, and then the two eagles flew forward.
Ye Xing quickly observed with the telescope and found that the two eagles were also flying towards the colorful clouds in the sky. Along with countless birds flying in the sky, they were soon submerged in the flock of birds and disappeared.
It seems that the divine bird Phoenix is real. The two eagles also chased to meet the god of their own race. Even if it is just a phantom, the birds still worship and obey it.
