Lü Shu was surprised to discover that this branch was not simple. It was very likely to be some kind of fire element divine item. Even if he could not use it, he had to study it carefully.
The branch was about as thick as Lü Shu's forearm, and there were mysterious flame-colored patterns faintly discernible on it. The energy waves coming from it were extremely high. If not for the white flames in his heart suppressing it, Lü Shu would not have dared to hold it in his hand. At the very least, he would have to attach the Starry Muslin Robe to it.
He calmed down and listened carefully for any movements outside the door. Then, he opened the window and jumped out, running toward the wilderness.
The night covered Lü Shu's agile figure as he ran, and no one noticed that someone was missing from the villa.
More than ten minutes later, Lü Shu was squatting alone in the wilderness, quietly studying this piece of wood. For some reason, Lü Shu's power of stars could not enter this piece of wood. Just then, Lü Shu suddenly felt that something was wrong. He turned around and saw that Howard's Fire Phoenix was actually holding two little turkeys in its mouth and looking at him silently from more than fifty meters away …
The atmosphere was very awkward. Lü Shu did not know what the other party wanted, and it seemed that the other party did not dare to approach recklessly …
"That … Have you eaten tonight?" Lü Shu asked. Wasn't this how greetings were supposed to be? Lü Shu was very sure that the other party was intelligent, but he was not sure if it was here to avenge Howard or something else …
The Fire Phoenix tilted her head and looked at Lü Shu. It was unknown what she was thinking, but she did not give Lü Shu any negative emotions.
Lü Shu saw the other party's expression and suddenly realized that it was a little strange. The other party's eyes did not seem to be staring at him, but the piece of fiery-colored wood in his hand!
"You want this?" Lü Shu asked with a strange expression.
The other party did not respond, as if she did not understand what Lü Shu was saying. Lü Shu thought that this was not right. Didn't she have intelligence? How could she not understand human language?
Lü Shu suddenly asked in English, "You want this?"
The Fire Phoenix hesitated for a moment, then nodded lightly.
Lü Shu: "…"
Sure enough, this was a foreign phoenix, different from the ones in China. It didn't understand Chinese … This was very tiring, and it even had to communicate in English …
The more the Fire Phoenix thought about it, the more it felt that this human was rather kind. Even though Lü Shu had killed Howard, the Fire Phoenix didn't think of Howard as its master, so it didn't feel any animosity towards Lü Shu. Up until now, the Fire Phoenix felt that Lü Shu was easy to get along with. Then, it saw Lü Shu slowly put away the piece of wood …
Fire Phoenix: "???"
"Negative emotions from Phoenix, + 666!"
Lv Shu counted on his fingers and began to settle the score with Fire Phoenix. "Do you know how hard it was for me to get this piece of wood? I fought with Howard for three days and three nights before I got it. It's not realistic for you to leave just like that, right?"
The Fire Phoenix looked at Lü Shu calmly. It hadn't even been a day since Lü Shu and Howard started fighting …
"How about this." Lü Shu waved his hand. "I'm not a stingy person. If you help me fight, I'll give you this piece of wood! Don't worry, I won't treat you badly. If there's anything suitable for you with the fire element, I can sell it to you! "
In the beginning, Fire Phoenix had sounded quite reliable, but what was the meaning of selling it to him later on …
"Negative emotions from Phoenix, + 666!"
At first, the Fire Phoenix thought that this human was quite kind, but now, hehe.
At that moment, the light on the Fire Phoenix's body started to flicker under Lü Shu's gaze. Lü Shu was stunned. Why did it feel like the other party's spirit body was about to dissipate?
Suddenly, the Fire Phoenix flew toward Lü Shu with two little turkeys in its mouth. Lü Shu was shocked. "I'm telling you, you can't beat me!"
But before he could come back to his senses, the Fire Phoenix turned into a stream of light and burrowed into the piece of wood. Lv Shu was completely stunned. It turned out that the other party did not want to take away the piece of wood, but that the other party was living in it!
So at that moment, Lü Shu suddenly realized a problem …
Every time Howard summoned the Fire Phoenix, he would point to the sky with a chuunibyou look. Lü Shu originally thought that as the overseas person-in-charge of a top-tier organization, he shouldn't be so chuunibyou, but the other party just had to be so chuunibyou. What could he do?
At that time, everyone probably thought that the Fire Phoenix was summoned from Howard's body, but now it didn't seem like that was the case.
It was clearly summoned from the space ring on his finger, and then enhanced by Howard's flames. It looked awesome, but Howard himself wasn't that awesome …
Life was really like a play, and it all depended on acting skills …
So, Howard must have had other fire element trump cards that he hadn't used. This guy had been hiding one all along, but when his fire element was completely suppressed, his trump card was useless, which made Howard very desperate. Of course, Lü Shu didn't know the specific situation. The living could only guess the secrets of the dead …
When the Fire Phoenix entered the piece of wood, Lü Shu noticed that the two little turkeys had fused back into the main body of the Fire Phoenix. Therefore, there was only one Fire Phoenix. Lü Shu originally thought that they were the two babies of the Fire Phoenix …
Lü Shu held the piece of wood in his hand … Could this be the legendary Wutong Wood? Lü Shu identified the lustrous patterns on it. It was indeed Wutong Wood. He thought that the legend of the Phoenix not perching on anything other than a Wutong Wood was just to show the nobility of the Phoenix. He didn't expect it to be true.
Legend had it that Howard had obtained the soul of a Fire Phoenix. Did that mean that the Fire Phoenix's soul had been using this Wutong Wood as a host?
Lü Shu tried to focus on the power of the stars to awaken the Fire Phoenix in the wood, but the power could not enter it at all. All of a sudden, the white fire in Lü Shu's heart throbbed again. He was surprised to find that the white fire moved more for the first time.
A drop of white liquid flame was separated from the white fire. It flowed through Lü Shu's meridians to his palm and entered the Wutong Wood through his palm like a drop of water. The Wutong Wood instantly burned with a huge white fire as if it was roasting the wood!
The Fire Phoenix roared furiously in the Wutong Wood as if it was not resigned to the outcome. Nonetheless, the white fire was as overbearing as a monarch, by which it did not give the Fire Phoenix any room to resist.
Eventually, the Wutong Wood turned from red to white, which was the same color as the white fire.
Lü Shu could see the Fire World inside the Wutong Wood. The Fire Phoenix was sleeping quietly in the fire, and there was a small fire mark on the right side of its neck!
On the other hand, the white fire in Lü Shu's heart had completely fallen asleep. It even stopped throbbing as if it had consumed a lot of energy.
