The Blazing Fire Forest was a place where the Fire Birds lived, and it wasn't far from the Imperial Heaven Gate. This was also the main reason why Jiang Xiaofan chose this mission. He truly hated the Imperial Sword Technique, and with his cultivation at the eighth layer of the Refinement Realm, it would only take him six hours to reach this place on foot.
The Fire Birds were extremely repulsive to other races, and they were a type of spirit bird that was very aggressive. Jiang Xiaofan had just entered the Blazing Fire Forest, and before he could even take a look at the terrain, a few large birds swooped down. The birds' eyes were sharp, and they opened their mouths to spit out a few blazing flames, attacking Jiang Xiaofan who was on the ground.
"Pu …" "Pu …" "Pu …" "Pu …"
With a raise of his hand and a swing of his sword, three large birds were beheaded and fell to the ground.
After taking out their guts, Jiang Xiaofan walked into the depths of the Blazing Fire Forest. Along the way, he encountered many attacks from the Fire Birds, big and small. However, with his cultivation at the eighth layer of the Refinement Realm, dealing with these spirit birds at the third layer of the Refinement Realm was simply too easy. There wasn't any difficulty.
On the other hand, these Fire Birds taking the initiative to attack saved him a lot of trouble. In this way, he didn't spend much time and already stored over 60 Fire Bird guts in his interspatial ring.
However, good times didn't last long. Although the Fire Birds were very aggressive, they wouldn't attack anyone they saw. At least after the deaths of their own kind, they felt Jiang Xiaofan's strength and didn't seek their own deaths.
This made Handsome Jiang extremely angry. 'Damn, these bastards can fly, and I … Alright, I can use the Imperial Sword Technique. However, after using the Imperial Sword Technique, I almost have no resistance and will become a live target for the Fire Birds.'
Just like this, Jiang Xiaofan's workload greatly increased. Almost by the time the sun was about to rise on the second day, he had barely gathered 99 Fire Bird guts. He was just short of the last one to complete the mission.
He circled around a huge rock, preparing to hunt for the last Fire Bird guts. However, at this moment, his eyes suddenly lit up. There was a little fellow covered in colorful feathers lying at the foot of the huge rock, and it was on the verge of death.
Holy shit, in ancient times, there was a rabbit that crashed into a wooden stake. Could it be that this little firebird had taken things too hard and ran over here to crash into a rock?
Jiang Xiaofan exclaimed. In any case, the last firebird's gallbladder was obtained. Although this firebird was a bit too small and its feathers seemed to be somewhat different from the other firebirds, it didn't matter as long as it had a gallbladder.
As if sensing that someone was approaching, the little guy woke up and slowly opened his eyes. His dirty body suddenly trembled. Looking at the long sword in Jiang Xiaofan's hand, the little guy leaned against the huge rock and looked at Jiang Xiaofan with fear in his big watery eyes. He let out a pitiful cry.
Jiang Xiaofan gripped the Dao Sword in his hand. This was the Firebird's gallbladder that was right in front of him. However, he hesitated again. He really couldn't bring himself to kill such a cute and pitiful little thing.
"Wu wu …"
The little guy cried out in fear. His big eyes were filled with tears as he trembled.
After a long time, Jiang Xiaofan finally let out a light sigh and threw the Dao Sword in his hand away.
He was a typical person who could be persuaded by reason but not cowed by force. Looking at the little guy's pitiful appearance and those big eyes that were filled with innocence, grievance, and fear, his heart instantly softened.
He carefully walked over. This action made the little thing tremble even more violently. Its small body used all its strength to move to the side. It wanted to fly, but its wings seemed to have been injured and couldn't fly.
"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."
Jiang Xiaofan said softly and gently lifted the little thing up.
"Wu wu, wu wu …"
The little guy was still afraid and trembled in Jiang Xiaofan's hand.
"Don't be afraid, I really won't hurt you. I'll heal you."
Jiang Xiaofan maintained his smile and tried to make his voice as gentle as possible. Light golden divine power wrapped around the little guy through his palm. Bing Xin had said that light injuries could be healed by the nourishment of divine power.
Feeling very comfortable and warm, the little thing's eyes quickly lit up. It blinked its big watery eyes and looked curiously at Jiang Xiaofan. Then, it let out a happy whimper, trying to please him.
Soon, the little thing's injuries were completely healed by Jiang Xiaofan. It gently flapped its wings and found that it could fly. The little guy let out another whimper and happily circled around Jiang Xiaofan.
"Alright, little guy, let's go. I still have to do a mission!"
Jiang Xiaofan chuckled as he patted the little guy's furry head. After his treatment, the feathers on the little guy's body became even brighter, showing five colors. This made Jiang Xiaofan surprised for a moment, it was really beautiful.
The little thing trembled and seemed a little confused. Its big eyes were filled with tears, and a wronged and pitiful expression appeared. It carefully landed on Jiang Xiaofan's shoulder and stretched out its beak to gently peck his ear.
Jiang Xiaofan stretched out a finger and gently tapped the little guy's head. He carried the little thing down from his shoulder and picked up the sword that was thrown to the side. He walked forward, but the little guy flapped its wings and flew over again. It landed on his shoulder and lightly pecked his ear.
Jiang Xiaofan frowned. He stopped and stabbed the sword into the ground. Holding the little guy in his hand, he asked doubtfully, "Why don't you leave? Why are you following me?"
The little guy seemed to be able to understand his words. It flapped its wings and flew up. It rubbed its furry little head against Jiang Xiaofan's cheek. Then, it raised its head and looked at him with a pair of big, pitiful eyes.
Jiang Xiaofan was stunned and said, "You … you want to follow me?"
The little thing immediately let out a whimper and kept nodding. Its big eyes were full of expectation.
Jiang Xiaofan opened his mouth, but in the end, he was unable to resist the little guy's innocent and pitiful big eyes. He agreed to take it away. Although it was impossible for him to raise a bird, Ye Yuanxue definitely could. Presumably, she would like this cute and beautiful little guy very much.
"Woo woo …"
Seeing that Jiang Xiaofan agreed to take it with him, the little thing immediately cried out happily. It flew up and down around Jiang Xiaofan. Finally, it landed on his shoulder and used its beak to peck his ear and rub his cheek.
In this way, Jiang Xiaofan took the cute little guy to find the last firebird's gall. This process lasted for a long time. Later, Jiang Xiaofan wanted to relieve himself, so he let the little thing stay outside temporarily. However, he did not expect that when he came out, he would see the little guy blocked in a corner by a few old firebirds. They screamed at the little thing fiercely, and the little thing shrank in the middle in fear. It was very pitiful.
Jiang Xiaofan was furious. He saw a firebird stepping on the little thing with its claws. The little guy was so cute, but it was being bullied by these old firebirds. Moreover, he could see that this was not the first time. It seemed like it had been done for a long time. The scars on its body might have been left by those old firebirds.
"All of you, die for this daddy!"
He was still standing far away when he threw the longsword in his hand. The terrifying force directly pierced through a few old firebirds. Blood splattered, and the sword was deeply embedded in a huge rock not far away.
"Woo woo, woo woo …"
Seeing Jiang Xiaofan appear, the little guy seemed to see an adult's child. Mist filled the air, and it immediately flapped its wings and flew over, plunging into Jiang Xiaofan's arms. Its beautiful feathers became dirty again. It cried out pitifully, making Jiang Xiaofan's nose a little sour.
"Good boy, don't cry!"
He gently comforted the little guy. Golden divine power appeared, brushing away the pain on the little guy's body. Its multicolored feathers became bright again, and it looked incomparably beautiful.
He finally understood that because the little guy was a little different from those firebirds, it was also treated as a different species. Those firebirds were much bigger than the little thing, and they were also very aggressive. They would bully it when they had nothing to do. The little thing's life had not been good. It was very pitiful.
Jiang Xiaofan gently patted the little thing's head. In the future, he would not let it suffer anymore.
A few firebirds were pierced through by the sword he threw out. Now, he had collected a hundred firebird guts. He brought the little guy out of the Blazing Fire Forest, and went back to hand in the mission.
The little guy was very beautiful, very cute, and also very obedient. Moreover, it was very intelligent, and could understand Jiang Xiaofan's words. This made him feel less lonely, and he would often be amused by the little thing to laugh.
Two hours later, Jiang Xiaofan walked out of the Blazing Fire Forest. As he teased the little guy on his shoulder, he walked towards the Imperial Heaven Gate. However, at this moment, a danger signal suddenly rang out in his mind. He did not have time to check his surroundings, and instinctively took a step to the side.
Almost at the same time, a cold light whistled past his ear, stabbing into an ancient tree behind him. It was a cold silver sword, and almost the entire sword was embedded into the tree trunk.
Jiang Xiaofan's pupils shrank. The person who attacked was not weak, and was extremely ruthless. If not for his spiritual sense being stronger than ordinary people, he would have definitely died under that silver sword!
"Wuu wuu …"
The little guy also cried out. It was a little scared, but it still looked around vigilantly.
Jiang Xiaofan gently comforted the little thing. He narrowed his eyes and looked around. In his field of vision, over a dozen figures walked out from behind an ancient tree. They were all covered in silver armor, and there was an obvious killing intent on their bodies. Behind them stood an old man in green, expressionlessly looking at Jiang Xiaofan.
"It's you guys!"
Jiang Xiaofan recognized these people. The old man in green was the old man who had followed Xia Fengming not long ago. As for the dozen figures, they were the guards who had rushed to the Ice Palace with them. However, he didn't expect that they would actually come here and block his path. It was obvious that they had chased him here to kill him.
The old man was expressionless, and he was comparable to the Hall Master of Mental Cultivation Hall. He stood in his original position without moving. He only waved his sleeves, and the dozen figures in front of him immediately rushed over. Each of them held a silver spear in their hands.
Over a dozen tyrannical auras spread out. Their eyes were cold, and killing intent lingered around them. The silver spears in their hands emitted a faint blue light, as if there was a layer of blue light covering the spears.
Jiang Xiaofan was shocked. The lowest cultivation of these people was at the eighth level of the Refinement Realm, and there was no lack of experts at the ninth level of the Refinement Realm. This caused him to be shocked. Just what kind of status did Xia Fengming have to be able to mobilize so many experts?
