The stars in the moonlight and the birds on the trees have all rested, leaving only the breathing of the monks in the forest, which is very harsh in the silent forest.
The fire bird has a bad temper. Few creatures have visited this forest for many years, and the filth on the ground has never been cleaned. It is like mud, sinking in every step, up to the ankles.
You Ziji has the ability to walk on the wind. Among the four, he is the only one who has no dirt on his shoes.
The woods were dense on the outside and sparse on the inside, but there was no change in space. This was because the further in, the trees became thicker and the root system became more developed. Lingyue found a high-rise tree root, which was finally a clean place. Although she It's no longer clean.
In the center of the forest is a huge ancient tree, with hundreds of aerial roots hanging down, forming a forest by itself.
On the canopy of the tree is the nest of the leader of the Firebird. It uses the entire ancient tree as a frame and slowly accumulated materials to reach its current scale.
"This is actually the nest of the Fire Bird?" Lingyue exclaimed. She had been in Tianhai Lake for a while, but she had never seen such a scene.
"Your cultivation level is not enough, and your uncles will tell you every time. Otherwise, with your different personalities, you will get into trouble here sooner or later." Lingqing said, her mood gradually became lower. The uncles who once loved and cared about them They had been killed by You Li a long time ago, and now they were still on the run, so they had no interest in playing.
The two next to him didn't have so many scruples.
You Ziji raised his head and looked at the towering ancient trees, and sighed: "The nest is so big, how big must the grandma of the Fire Bird be?"
"Grandma Grandma?" Mei Yi didn't quite agree with this statement, "For such a large ethnic group, I'm afraid Grandma Taizu can do it."
The conversation between the two made Ling Yue smile sweetly, which diluted her sadness. But when she saw You Ziji, her sadness completely turned into anger.
You Ziji felt chills running down his spine when he met Ling Yue's gaze, and felt secretly bitter in his heart. Mei Yi couldn't bear it and stood aside. Fortunately, Lingyue didn't retaliate directly. She was a sensible person. You Ziji couldn't push her in just to help her. Naturally, she wanted to take the opportunity of helping to repay him.
In the distance, the Shanhe Gang monks were looming, and they were obviously about to catch up.
"Brother, they are here."
Ling Qing's eyes flashed, and she said to You Ziji, "Let's go find the leader's Ling Yu."
"How to find it? Grandma is sleeping in the nest."
You Ziji asked in reply, and as he met Ling Qing's shining eyes, he suddenly felt something bad.
"Why don't we just wake it up. Brother You, your fire control method is very powerful. You will set the fire later."
You Ziji was shocked, "Set fire? In Huolingniao's house? How wicked. I won't do it. Isn't the red feather fan in your hand? Why don't you go and set fire to it?"
Lingqing shook her head, "I'm going to find Lingyu in the lair. Do you know any of you except me?"
You Ziji thought for a while and said, "You can let Sister Lingyue use the red feather fan."
"You need to bring the red feather fan with you, otherwise how will I know which feather is suitable? Otherwise, you go find the feather and I will set the fire."
Grandma is a mysterious spirit beast, and You Ziji doesn’t dare to provoke her, “No, I’ll just set her on fire.”
"Junior sister, lend me your sword."
Lingqing flew towards the tree crown with her sword, found a hidden location and hid in it. Ling Yue and Mei Yi stayed far away. Mei Yi even used the materials he carried to create a simple formation to conceal his aura, which made Ling Yue's eyes shine.
"You actually know how to use formations. I really can't tell. How smart you are."
This was the first time Mei Yi heard such praise, and his face was full of black lines. Isn't such a simple formation the basic skill of a monk? Also, he looked stupid before.
You Ziji stood under the tree, already ready. The samadhi true fire in the true fire furnace in his body has long been replenished, but it was obtained by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and cannot be directly controlled by his state. The imperial envoy had no choice but to recover the little true energy he had just recovered, and passed it through the true fire furnace and turned it into a wisp of samadhi true fire.
The ancient tree was tall, and the crown of the tree was at least twenty feet above the ground. Youzi Jiyun used the power of his palm to push the Samadhi True Fire into the air and into the crown of the tree.
Several leaders of the Shanhe Gang in the distance saw You Ziji standing under the tree and felt something was wrong. Seeing him send a wisp of flame into the air again directly broke the illusion in his heart.
"Hey! What are you doing, kid? You don't want to die."
"Boy, are you crazy?"
"I can't escape, and you can't live either!"
Sure enough, the flames entered the canopy, ignited when they met the trees, and swelled in the wind. In an instant, the raging fire covered the entire bird's nest. The huge bird's nest was like a bonfire, shining brightly in the dark night.
This behavior was like attacking the entire group of flamingos. They suddenly became commotion, hovering in the sky, and observed for a while. Some of them rushed to the nest amidst the leader's call, while others searched for enemies in the forest on their own to attack.
This was very painful for the monks in the forest. They didn't care to continue strolling, they all accelerated and fled in all directions. Several mysterious realm commanders and envoys' magic weapons rose into the sky, trying to escape from here.
A massive escape officially began.
As the restlessness increased, the Fire Bird, which was not affected at first on the periphery, also joined in, chasing and fighting the Shanhe Gang monks along the way.
The Xuanjing monks who soared into the sky were also in danger. Although they had advanced realms, the sky was the domain of birds. Although they only had the strength of the Foundation Establishment realm, they were much more flexible than humans. Coupled with the hundreds or even thousands of them, surrounding and attacking in a fixed formation in the air, like a battle formation, I am afraid that only monks in the Moon Watching Realm can leave without any injuries.
One of the sword-wielding commanders was the fastest and received more attention. The fire birds attacked continuously, and the iron claws and silver hooks tore the monk's body. The fire poison carried in his body was injected into the monk's body, burning his Dantian. The monk quickly lost strength in his meridians, and his sword energy slashed repeatedly, leaving only a few wounds on the Fire Bird's steel body.
In the end, he was torn into several pieces and burned up by the flames that shot out of his body before he even hit the ground. After a fight, only seven or eight fire birds were killed during the encounter, and not much substantial damage was caused after that.
Seeing the fate of their colleagues, all the commanders did not dare to break through from the air again, and landed one after another to join the fleeing army below. There were constant casualties along the way, and many good soldiers were lost.
You Ziji was not safe either. Half of the birds in the sky flew here. He did not dare to stay. He ran into the air roots of the ancient forest, hiding his own energy fluctuations, and lay motionless in a secret place. This operation allowed him to Already familiar with it.
But he missed one point. Although the fire bird in the sky is a spiritual beast, it still behaves like an animal when it lives. They can rely on the energy fluctuations they feel to identify and find enemies, and they can also rely on their own eyes to spot enemies.
The fire bird feeds on fireflies in the mountains, so its eyesight is naturally very good. You Ziji hid under the Qi root and did not feel safe. Instead, his temples were beating and his body was trembling. This is an instinctive reaction when his life is threatened, and it is more dangerous than any danger he has encountered since he was born.
The fire birds in the sky formed a small team and swooped down. When You Ziji heard the sound of the wind, he immediately got up and ran away without looking back.
"Boom boom boom!"
There were three consecutive blasts from behind You Ziji, and the Fire Bird then smashed itself into the roots of the tree with great momentum, which was even more astonishing than the power of siege cannons. Scattered sawdust sprayed onto You Ziji's back. He couldn't even use his spells, so he could only use all his body skills to speed up.
Lingyue and Mei Yi in the distance rushed out to rescue. Mei Yi threw out a rope made of vines, which was caught by You Ziji.
Just like that, the fire bird had already caught up with him, and the air flow caused by the flapping of its wings had already sprayed on You Ziji. At the critical moment, You Ziji had an idea and used the Wolf Figure Dharmakaya. His whole body exuded the pressure of a powerful person like a wolf king. The movements of the birds suddenly stagnated. Lingyue took the opportunity to use her strength and dragged You Ziji out.
However, his strength was a little too strong, and You Ziji lost his balance and fell into the bird droppings. Lingyue finally let out a breath of bad breath in her heart.
Before the two of them could stand still, Mei Yi was shocked and said: "They're here again!"
You Ziji looked up and saw another group of fire birds swooping down in the sky, seemingly attracted by the power of Langtu Dharmakaya.
"What did you just do with your Dharmakaya? Why did you attract another group of people?"
Mei Yi's two sides were fighting, not wanting to wait for a moment longer, and kept saying: "Don't worry about this, let's run."
The Fire Bird could easily find the positions of several people, so the formation that Mei Yi set up before was naturally useless. The three of them had no choice but to run out of the forest and join the fleeing team.
Lingqing was hiding in the dark. When You Ziji lit the nest and caused a commotion among the birds, he took the opportunity to jump to the top of the nest.
When he saw it, there was a huge fire bird spreading its wings at the bottom of the nest. This was the first time for Lingqing to see this kind of leader spirit beast. Its body was at least three times the size of an ordinary fire bird, but this nest was too small for it. It's still too huge.
The leader of the fire birds flapped his wings and flew into the sky, commanding the flock of birds that were gathering. His huge wings caused quite a storm, which was more powerful than ordinary storm spells.
Lingqing waited until it left, then slid down the inner wall of the nest. After landing, she saw that her feet were covered with bird feathers, which were very soft and warm. There was something blocking her feet, which was round. Lingqing's heart moved and she peeled off the feathers. It turned out to be the egg of the fire bird inside.
It turns out that the group where the leader is born needs to centrally manage the eggs.
This environment has increased Lingqing's workload. It is not easy for him to find the fallen feathers of the leader of the Fire Birds. He rummaged around and found nothing. If you want to use the red feather fan but are afraid of burning the eggs, you will be in a fight with the fire bird group.
With an idea, he took out the feather fan with only the handle remaining, and used a magic trick to attract feathers from all over the place to gather, leaving a large area of empty space at the bottom of the nest near him.
As he stirred the spell, more and more down feathers flew into the air mixed with other light and small things. Suddenly, a ray of red light attracted Ling Qing's attention. Ling Yu reached out and grabbed the object.
This was the fallen feather of the Fire Bird. Unfortunately, it was in poor condition and was half-cut. Lingqing left it behind and continued searching.
Outside the nest, although the flames looked bright and bright, they were actually burning on the outer layer and did not spread to the inside. This was something the Fire Bird had considered when building its nest.
Hundreds of fire birds, led by their leader, absorb the power of the flame and store it in their bodies. The power of Samadhi True Fire is a bit unbearable for spiritual beasts. Except for the leader who is comparable to the Xuan Realm, other fire spirit birds cannot bear it after absorbing only a ray of flame. Although the number is huge, only two-thirds of the flames are contained, and the rest are all handled by the leader.
Then, the birds formed a queue and swooped toward the burning place to excrete feces, coating the branches and trunks with residual heat sparks to isolate them from the air.
After extinguishing the flames, the next step is to drive the enemy from their home. But at this moment, the leader of the Fire Birds let out a scream and returned to the nest as quickly as possible.
Lingqing's movement was so big that he almost rolled up all the down feathers in the nest into the air, forming a huge pom-pom, which really couldn't help attracting attention.
Fortunately, he finally found a suitable feather. It was four feet long, all red, with a dark light shining on the edge. It was the fire poison expelled by the fire bird.
Before it could be happy, the leader of the Fire Birds had already returned to the nest. Seeing that Ling Qing had made a mess here, he was very angry and swooped down, grabbing Ling Qing's head with his iron claws.
Lingqing put away the magic weapon in her hand and jumped to the center of the bird's egg. The feathers in the air lost their strength and suddenly fell apart, falling down.
The leader of the Fire Bird looked huge, but his movements were very nimble. When he saw Ling Qing hiding in the center of the egg, he was afraid of destroying his offspring, so he turned around and stretched himself back into the air.
Lingqing said to it: "You let me out first, otherwise I will break the eggs here, and no one can make up for your loss."
The leader of the Fire Bird understood human nature. He understood what Ling Qing meant and moved back a few feet, leaving Ling Qing room to leave.
Lingqing raised her red feather fan, and her whole body flew out of the nest along with the feather fan.
The moment he left the nest, a flock of vengeful fire birds swarmed him.
"What a hothead."
Lingqing raised a feather fan, and a large amount of flames shot up into the sky, turning into a ring of fire, enclosing the fire birds in it. Only its leader is left to continue the pursuit.
The leader of the Fire Bird rushed over. Its copper-skinned iron bones and the burning flames on its body were so powerful that no one dared to resist. Lingqing took out the green-edged sword from his waist and faced it tit-for-tat. As a sword cry resounded throughout the world, the sword in his hand disappeared, and a flash of lightning suddenly appeared in the sky, blocking the path that the leader of the Fire Bird must pass.
There was a thunderous sound from the blue sky, and the leader of the Fire Bird was knocked off his feet by the lightning. This was not over yet, the lightning did not disappear, but rolled towards the Fire Bird's body like a python.
Flames and thunder and lightning complemented each other, making bursts of explosions. Even the leader of the Fire Bird was greatly affected. He lost control of his body and was unable to fly and fell.
But it didn't give in. The flames on its body became more intense, turned into a firebird, and broke away from the shackles of the thunder python.
The thunder python flew back and turned into its original form of Qingfeng Sword.
The firebird grew bigger and bigger, and rushed up with it.
Lingqing made a secret in her hand, with a flash of light in her eyes, and activated the Qingyang Flying Fire Sword to the extreme. The Qingfeng Sword flashed away, its speed surged, and it passed through the air, making an explosive sound. The next time it was opened, a sky thunder fell, Light up the night sky all day long.
Then, the sky thunder collided with the firebird, erupting into a more lasting light, and finally collapsed in all directions, like fireworks.
After the fire disappeared, Lingqing had long disappeared. Only the leader of the Fire Birds was left losing his temper in the air.
One of Youziji was weak, the other had not yet recovered, and only Lingyue still had some fighting strength. Naturally, he was not enough to stand out in front of the two groups of fire birds, so he could only run forward with his head down.
Then the sudden appearance of fireworks in the sky attracted the attention of the fire birds, and the next moment, Lingqing had returned to them.
"Success, let's go quickly."
After saying that, Lingqing lifted up the fallen feathers of the Fire Bird leader and shook them, releasing its unique aura. The Fire Bird, which was about to continue attacking, suddenly panicked and became stiff. You Ziji and others took the opportunity to escape.
Along the way, Lingqing used this method to clear the way and left this place smoothly. I didn't listen until I ran outside the forest.
This is already the outskirts of Tianhai Lake.
There were fires shining ahead. It seemed that the Shanhe Gang monks who were escaping in this direction were not very strong.
Lingqing did not take everyone there directly, but handed the red feather fan and feathers in his hand to You Ziji, and said: "Brother You, after I finish dealing with these people, I will protect you, practice with peace of mind and restore your strength. .”
You Ziji pushed the red feather fan back, "I don't know how to use it. You are more suitable for this red feather fan than me."
Lingqing did not take back the feather fan, "This is Brother You's magic weapon. I just borrowed it for a while. It's time to return it now. And we will move separately later. You need something to defend yourself. If you encounter danger, you can put the feather fan Lend it to Ling Yue and she can put it to good use."
Lingyue listened on the side and said anxiously: "Brother, where are you going? Why don't you take me there?"
"I want to go back and rescue other sect members."
You Li of the Shanhe Gang is still in Tianhai Lake. He is a monk in the Moon Watching Realm. Although Lingqing has become stronger now, he is still no match for You Li. He will escape death this time, but as a senior brother, he naturally cannot give up his Junior brothers and sisters.
Lingyue knew this, so she couldn't persuade her. She just said, "I'll go back with you."
"Junior sister, listen to senior brother, I may not be able to come back. I must leave some incense to my sect."
You Ziji interjected from the side: "If that's the case, then this red feather fan needs to be given to you even more."
Lingqing was about to say something else, but suddenly there was a sound of discussion in the distance, so she had to give up.
"Let's wait until we finish dealing with these people."
Beside the grass in front of the four of them, two people were relieving themselves and chatting.
One of them said: "Don't worry, I saw Ling Qing fighting with a huge fire bird. It was not seeking death. Several of our commanders died inside, so he must have died too. Except for the masters of the Moon Watching Realm, No one can escape from there."
