After wandering in the southern wasteland for another two days, Xiao Chen and the others finally walked out of the evil jungle and entered a mountain range with incomparably beautiful scenery. This was really a rarely seen beautiful area. There were no howls of vicious beasts, no strange beasts running amok.
In this area, the mountains were verdant and the valleys were green, the streams were like jade, and the trees were verdant and lush. There were plenty of ginseng, lingzhi, and other heavenly materials and earthly treasures. This made the snow-white little critter jump in excitement. Yanluo Wang and the other two had already carried a few big bags of good stuff for it.
In this area, one could see Immortal Cranes holding Lingzhi in their mouths, Longevity Deer carrying Spirit Herbs, and White Apes holding Immortal Peaches. It was simply a legendary paradise.
In this peaceful pure land, Xiao Chen only saw some docile animals. He did not see any ferocious beasts. At first, Xiao Chen thought that there were immortals living in seclusion here. However, he discovered that there were no immortal caves or immortals at all.
Keke and Tenax cried out at the same time and rushed forward at lightning speed. They saw a stretch of towering trees in front of them. Although they were sparse, they were at least a hundred meters tall. Wisteria coiled around them, the fragrance of flowers and the chirping of birds filled the air.
And on top of the tallest tree, there was actually a giant bird's nest. It was the size of three houses, and the most peculiar thing wasn't its size, but the fact that it was actually shining with multicolored light.
When he got closer, he could finally see clearly that the materials used to weave the bird's nest were too extravagant. It was actually woven from Blazing Golden Lotus, Silver Silk Divine Grass, Purple Jade Immortal Orchid, and other main materials. There were also many thousand-year-old Polygonum Multiflorum, Ganoderma, Ginseng, and other spiritual essences. This huge bird's nest was simply a cornucopia!
No wonder the two little beasts were rushing forward in a hurry. Even Xiao Chen felt his heart pounding. This was already so extravagant that it made people speechless. What kind of monster was it that built this? Could he be a celestial sage among birds?
Swish swish …
The snow-white little critter's speed was really too fast. It pulled the extra-large interspatial pouch that it begged Xiao Chen to prepare earlier and already rushed up to the towering tree (Mainly because it felt very regretful when it left the Undying Sect, it felt that the spiritual essence in the small package was too little). What made Xiao Chen astonished was that the tough little dragon actually knew how to climb up the tree. It was already in the vicinity of the bird nest on the towering tree.
"Hurry up and come back. Don't mess around."
Xiao Chen shouted.
However, how could the two little beasts care so much right now? They grabbed the thousand-year-old polygonum multiflorum and ginseng king that they liked and started to gorge themselves. They even busied themselves with stuffing things into their hundred treasures pouches.
Xiao Chen unfolded the Undying Divine Wings and rushed forward. However, just at this time, the two little beasts had already filled their extra-large Hundred Treasure Pouch to the brim. Wanting them to return those Spiritual Essences was harder than ascending to the heavens.
"You two …"
Xiao Chen felt somewhat helpless. He said, "You only know how to cause trouble. Since you are not willing to return it, why are you still not leaving?"
Swish swish …
They were very obedient this time, they quickly rushed down from the big tree, then they ran forward with Xiao Chen and the three skeletons.
"You were too reckless this time. Do you know what kind of bird's nest it is?"
As Xiao Chen ran, he said, "There is a patch of wutong trees there. If I did not guess wrong, that is definitely a phoenix nest. Do you know that that is a race on equal footing with the Dragon Race? If they were discovered, the consequences would be dire. This is not the Dragon Island. The Phoenixes are not sealed like the Dragon Race. Each of them is an existence that is connected to the gods. "
The two little beasts seemed to know about the Phoenix Clan. They nodded their heads vigorously, indicating that they knew how powerful it was.
After running for more than twenty miles, Xiao Chen felt something was not right. He felt that there seemed to be a rather strong life fluctuation between them. He turned his head around and saw that Keke's extra-large hundred treasures pouch was being carried on Qinguang Wang's back. There was actually a faintly discernible multicolored radiance emitting from it.
He suspiciously stopped, he had a bad premonition in his heart. He quickly opened that extra-large hundred treasures pouch, and after digging through the pile of spiritual items, he discovered an egg the size of a human head. It was flickering with multicolored radiance. The life fluctuation originated from it.
Xiao Chen felt a headache coming on, it would be fine if the two little beasts only stole some spiritual items. Damn it, they even stole the phoenix egg, they were really thorough.
How could the phoenix that returned to its nest not be anxious? To be able to build such a phoenix nest, it was definitely not an ordinary phoenix.
"You two …"
Xiao Chen almost growled, "Who stole the phoenix egg?!"
The two little beasts seemed to know that they had caused a big trouble. Their reaction was very fast, and they pointed their little paws at the other party at the same time. Neither of them admitted that it was their doing. This made Xiao Chen completely speechless. He really didn't know what to say.
The snow-white little critter and Tenax pointed at the same time. It seemed like they were asking Xiao Chen if he wanted to return it.
However, a phoenix cry was transmitted from that direction just at this time. How was he supposed to return it? Run! Xiao Chen unfolded the Undying Divine Wings and hugged the two little critters with both hands. He let Qinguang Wang hug his waist, and let Yanluo Wang and Lunhui Wang hug his thighs. After that, he unfolded the Undying Wings and rushed forward in the mountain forest while sticking close to the ground. He basically didn't dare to fly in the sky. If by any chance he was discovered by the phoenix, he would definitely be caught.
After flying for dozens of miles, Xiao Chen was already so tired that his waist was about to break. The Undying Divine Wings had already dimmed. However, the phoenix cry was getting closer and closer, it seemed like it had already locked onto them …
Xiao Chen's Undying Divine Wings had already dimmed. If not for his profound skill, he would have been unable to hold on a long time ago. After all, he had just mastered the Undying Divine Wings not too long ago. Flying with such a heavy load was really a little strenuous.
What made Xiao Chen depressed was, the two little critters were very excited about being able to fly in the sky. They didn't realize that they were running away from the phoenix that was comparable to a dragon.
The phoenix cry was getting closer and closer, it seemed like it had already discovered their whereabouts. Xiao Chen took a short break and braced himself. He operated the Mysterious Art again, his whole body flickered with radiance. The purple Undying Divine Wings extended from his back again. Of course, this was completely a product of energy transformation, it was not a part of his body.
They advanced in the jungle at lightning speed. The forest trees were like layers upon layers of illusions that constantly passed by them. They flew while hiding. Their speed was already raised to the limit by Xiao Chen. However, the phoenix cry was still chasing after them unhurriedly. They simply couldn't get rid of it.
Xiao Chen clenched his teeth and flew for more than one hundred and fifty miles. He already couldn't hold on any longer. He felt that the three skeletons were as heavy as three small mountains. Even the two little critters seemed to weigh more than ten thousand catties.
After flying for another dozen miles, Xiao Chen helplessly landed on the ground. He didn't run anymore. He could already tell that the phoenix at the back had already locked onto him. It was completely capable of catching up to him. It seemed like it was purposely torturing him and making him run for his life in fear. If this continued, he would either have a mental breakdown or die of exhaustion.
After waiting for a very long time, an inexhaustible pressure descended. The multicolored radiance was as glaring as the scorching sun. People couldn't look straight at it and couldn't see the phoenix's true body clearly. A cold female voice transmitted from the radiance, "Why aren't you running anymore? Keep going. Eh … … "
As if it had discovered something, the multicolored radiance let out a surprised voice.
Immediately after, the multicolored radiance enveloped them. Although Xiao Chen didn't resist, Tenax and the snow-white little critter resisted fiercely. However, no matter if it was Tenax's extreme speed or Keke's confinement technique, it was hard for them to resist the multicolored radiance.
The wind whistled past their ears. Xiao Chen and the others were already being held hostage. They were flying at high speed in the sky. It seemed like they stopped after only a short while. After that, they landed under the emerald parasol tree.
They arrived at the phoenix's dwelling place again. The tallest parasol tree was flickering with green radiance. Its whole body was suffused with the aura of life. That huge phoenix nest on top was circulating with multicolored radiance. The multicolored radiance lingered in the air.
"You guys actually dared to intrude into my sacred land and harm my niece. How dare you!"
The multicolored radiance was suspended in the sky. A cold voice transmitted from within. It seemed like it was looking down on Xiao Chen and the others.
Eh? Aren't they the parents of that unborn little phoenix? Xiao Chen was a little amazed. However, he still felt a headache. How was he supposed to solve this problem? The phoenix girl in the sky was a divine existence. The snow-white little critter and Tenax were the ones who provoked this disaster. However, he couldn't just push them out just to protect himself.
After thinking for a bit, Xiao Chen opened his mouth and said, "Phoenix Saintess, please listen to my explanation. We definitely don't have the intention to harm you. Everything is because these two little things are too mischievous … … "
He pointed at Keke and Tenax and continued, "Originally, they only wanted to pluck some spiritual items to appease their hunger, but they didn't expect they would also take away the phoenix egg in the midst of chaos."
"They were looking for something to appease their hunger, did they have to come here to steal it?"
The woman's voice was still as ice-cold as before.
"We were already lost in the southern wasteland. We couldn't find the way out since a long time ago. You can see that they are not ordinary beasts, and they need to eat some spiritual things every day. I just happened to see the Phoenix Nest hanging in the sky full of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, so I didn't have time to stop it. "
The snow-white little critter nodded its head vigorously at the side. It looked incomparably innocent, as if it was saying that was indeed the case. Soon after, it opened its extra-large interspatial pouch. It carefully lifted up the phoenix egg that was not much smaller than itself and offered it to the sky. Tenax also seemed to know that it was in the wrong. Moreover, it felt that the phoenix girl in the sky was an existence that couldn't be provoked. It stayed there obediently for once and didn't challenge the stronger the existence it encountered in the past.
The phoenix in the sky didn't seem to be afraid that they would destroy the phoenix egg. It didn't ask for it even after catching up to them. Only now did it emit a multicolored radiance and received it into the sky.
"Hmph, if it wasn't for the fact that we are both from the sacred race, I definitely wouldn't let you off so easily."
The glaring multicolored radiance in the sky gradually calmed down. The phoenix girl gradually revealed her true appearance.
Xiao Chen knew that she was talking about Tenax and Keke.
This was an incomparably beautiful multicolored phoenix. The multicolored divine feathers were circulating with a dreamy luster. A soul-stirring holy aura enveloped its entire body. It gave people a peaceful and tranquil feeling. It was no longer as imposing as before.
"Thank you very much for your magnanimity, Phoenix Saintess."
Xiao Chen expressed his thanks. He wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.
"Hmph, I never said I would let you off."
The multicolored sacred phoenix was more than three meters long. As it stood in the sky, it looked like a slender and elegant peerless beauty. The radiance in its phoenix-like eyes circulated around as it said, "You guys have to pay a price for your mistake."
"Whoosh … …"
The extra-large interspatial pouch on the ground soared into the sky and flew towards the phoenix nest. Those thousand year old polygonum multiflorum, golden ginseng king, purple lotus seed, and so on, all returned to the phoenix nest that was flickering with multicolored radiance.
Keke blinked its big eyes with all its might. That kind of unwillingness couldn't be concealed at all. Tenax was also very regretful. It looked at everything in silence, but it also knew that it had no other choice. This was not their territory in the first place.
However, it didn't stop there. The multicolored radiance flickered again. Qinguang Wang, Yanluo Wang, and the others also soared into the sky and flew towards the phoenix nest.
The snow-white little critter Keke became anxious at that time. This wasn't stolen from the phoenix's nest, it was the spiritual essence that it had spent a lot of effort to find in this southern desolate mountain. Even though it was far from being comparable to the spiritual essence on the phoenix's nest, this was still the result of its hard work. It immediately squeaked loudly and waved its little paws repeatedly. It wanted to use the confinement technique to take back the items.
At the same time, Tenax also made its move. Its single horn actually shot out a resplendent radiance that engulfed the sky. In the past, he had only seen it fight with brute force. It would occasionally use some ancient dragon martial skills. This was the first time Xiao Chen saw Tenax using its divine ability.
However, even if the two little beasts joined hands, it was still impossible for them to contend against the Divine Phoenix in the sky. Perhaps even an adult dragon that hadn't been sealed might not be a match for it. Those spiritual essences flew into the sky unstoppably.
Keke was incomparably distressed. It was so angry that it squeaked unceasingly. It seemed like it was shouting loudly that those items belonged to it.
Tenax was also helpless. Although its battle intent was high and it didn't hesitate to fight the divine phoenix in the sky, the unfathomable phoenix girl simply ignored its challenge. On the contrary, she chuckled and said, "Wait until my niece is born, then you can go and compete with her."
Helpless!
Keke was panting with anger. It waved its little paws at the phoenix girl a few times soundlessly. After that, it turned its head around and wanted to leave. Although Tenax's battle intent was high, the other party simply ignored it. It felt powerless, but it couldn't exert its strength.
The phoenix girl was so angry that she laughed and said, "You two disturbed my niece, and you actually have that wronged look on your face. You are really asking for a beating!"
