Many of the first-generation mythical beasts of the Eighth World are related to the blood rabbit. The current mainstream speculation is that dragons come from winged lizards and unicorns come from horned horses. But whether the phoenix is a chicken or a peacock has never been determined. .
But no matter what, if you dare to talk about your ancestors with the arrogant clan of mythical beasts, they will dare to dig up your ancestral graves. Therefore, these so-called speculations are only circulated among human scholars.
However, although it is said that king-level monsters are generally the bloodline level of the descendants of divine beasts, and emperor-level monsters correspond to divine beasts, the reverse is not true. Bloodline only corresponds to potential rather than strength. Even the Phoenix clan with pure bloodline can only guarantee the king level when they reach adulthood, and not many can break through to the emperor level.
Just as the dragon clan is divided into ten colors, the phoenix also has its internal branches. The more mainstream ones are the ice phoenix and the fire phoenix, but among them, there is another kind of weird one, which is the nine-death phoenix.
The Nine-Death Phoenix has many aliases, the most commonly used is Phoenix, but people in the Sixth World occasionally call it Suzaku, but the official name is indeed the most appropriate. Unlike most phoenixes, nine-death phoenixes are extremely weak when they are young and do not grow over time. They can only approach adulthood step by step through staged promotions.
The way to advance the Nine-Death Phoenix is also very strange. They need to be burned to death and then resurrected, which is commonly known as Nirvana.
After completing a nirvana, the Nine-Death Phoenix will be directly immune to flames and high temperatures below this level, and even if it is killed by other methods, it can still be resurrected if it is placed in high temperature within three days. However, this does not count towards the number of nirvana.
To reach the adult body, the nine-death phoenix must reach nirvana nine times, which means they have to search for nine kinds of flames, each time more demanding than the last. Once they reach adulthood, the nine-dead phoenixes are the true phoenixes. As long as there is heat, they can be resurrected without limit, and all adult phoenixes are all emperor-level monsters.
Of course, the Nine-Death Phoenix itself is an extremely rare type of phoenix, and there are even fewer adults. There are only one or two adult bodies heard of so far. What's more, theoretical immortality does not mean that it is really impossible to kill. As long as there is a strong enough person to isolate the heat, it can still be killed. It is said that Quint once killed a nine-death phoenix and even made its tail feathers into I bought a fan to show off.
"So, now that it only has one egg left, is it dead or not?" Ji Shuzhai asked in a low voice.
"It's dead," Kun Yi pointed to the egg in his hand, "This is equivalent to what the president said, the equipment exploded."
"That seems to be completely dead." Ji Shuzhai nodded.
Dropping eggs after death is the main method of reproduction for nine-dead phoenixes. Because their number is too small and they have to run around looking for flames, they basically cannot find a partner. What's more, before reaching adulthood, the nine-death phoenixes will still be unable to have babies even if they are single. The existing nine-death phoenixes are basically the offspring of the adult ones.
The reason why the nine-death phoenixes are not extinct is because each of them has a natal egg, which is similar to the heart of other monsters. This egg will condense when they truly die.
Generally speaking, the initial nine-death phoenix egg is only the size of an egg. If it is thrown into the flame and baked for a period of time, it will gradually expand until it reaches the size of an ostrich egg. If the heating continues, the pattern of the flames above will become more and more complex, and eventually, a new young nine-death phoenix will break out of its shell.
The Nine-Death Phoenix Egg is the essence of the Nine-Death Phoenix. It is more difficult to destroy than the main body. Moreover, the Nine-Death Phoenix is almost always conscious until the three-day period after its death expires. Therefore, if they have a premonition that they are hopeless, they will control the egg to emit light to attract similar people and take it away.
Although the Nine-Death Phoenix is not closely related to other branches of the Phoenix clan, it is not yet to the point of hoping that they will be exterminated, so if any Phoenix discovers this kind of light, most of them will come to help. Anyway, the consensus within the Phoenix clan is that you can kill the Nine-Death Phoenix, but you can't beat its eggs.
"Then why doesn't this egg glow?" Ji Shuzhai asked again.
Yi Liuling glanced at the almost unformed flower bud and guessed: "It may be because this flower ignored the nine-dead phoenix. Even if it welcomes the sunset three times, otherwise even if there is only skeletal remains, it still has the possibility of resurrection." , the eggs won’t fall out so quickly.”
"It is precisely because it died so quickly that there was no time to operate it, so the egg does not glow." Kun Yi continued to explain.
"Wait a minute, Brother Ling," Ji Shuzhai was considered an old two-dimensional person, and he instantly noticed Yi Liuling's words, "Isn't it a bit outrageous for you to welcome the sunset three times?"
"I think it's okay." Yi Liuling said.
Kun Yi guessed that the two people were playing some hometown joke. He did not participate, but rubbed the phoenix egg in his hand: "But since it doesn't glow, can we turn it dark? I'm really curious why. That phoenix looks so much like a pheasant."
Although the Nine-Death Phoenix is strange, at least in appearance, it is similar to the Phoenix. It's just that most phoenixes are colorful, but once the nine-death phoenix reaches adulthood, it becomes completely black, some say it is burnt.
But no matter what, it is impossible for a pure-blood nine-death phoenix to grow into a pheasant. But if it is a mixed race, it is equally unlikely - not all mythical beasts leave seeds everywhere. There are only a few adult Nine-Death Phoenixes, and they are basically digested internally. Like the genderless Nine-Colored Deer, they are all pure There will be no messing around with blood.
"Do you think it's possible," Yi Liuling put forward a guess, "that this phoenix burned itself like this because it encountered some strange flames?"
"Gudu thinks this is too outrageous." Gudu finally found a chance to speak, "Gudu can't eat a phoenix."
"Ah, that's right," Yi Liuling realized this when she heard Gudu say this. "Gudu can sense the breath of mythical beasts. He didn't realize it was a nine-death phoenix just now."
Unlike Kun Yi, who is a human hybrid and has the blood of mythical beasts, Gudu, who is essentially an orc, is very sensitive to the scent of various monsters, so he was afraid of Kun Yi before, and he also had some feelings for Tatani. But why didn't Gudu notice anything unusual when they were cooking this flame pheasant?
"Ah, a special flame?" Kun Yi snapped his fingers and his eyes lit up. "Sure enough, we don't need any volcanic beads. There may be some weird fire seeds here. We have to go look for them in the back mountains!"
