Liang Yan and Zhao Xunzhen sat cross-legged and meditated on the spot, and began to recover the lost spiritual power in their bodies.
I don't know how long it took, but Liang Yanyou opened his eyes leisurely. He glanced at Zhao Xunzhen first, and saw that she was still adjusting her breath with her eyes closed, so he didn't bother her with any sound, but stood up on his own.
, walked towards the center of the stone platform.
This crimson stone platform was so big that you couldn't even see the other side at a glance. Liang Yan walked on it for a while. Although the surrounding area was empty, it somehow made him feel like he was being watched.
This feeling is very subtle. If Liang Yan wasn't very confident in his six senses, he would probably just laugh it off as an illusion.
Thinking of this hidden danger, Liang Yan couldn't help but be extra cautious, looking around and walking towards the center of the stone platform.
After walking like this for half a stick of incense, when he finally arrived at the center of the stone platform, he discovered that there was a circular tribute platform. There was a crimson ball the size of a thumb cap floating in the air.
There was a faint red glow in this dark environment.
At this moment, Liang Yan's instinctive feeling of being spied on became stronger and stronger. He stared closely at the crimson ball in front of him, his face filled with surprise and uncertainty.
"You also discovered it." Suddenly a woman's voice came from behind and said calmly.
Liang Yan was startled, and when he looked back, he saw that it was Zhao Xunzhen.
He had just been focusing on observing the ball in front of him, but he had relaxed his vigilance, so much so that he didn't even notice the woman walking behind him.
"This thing is watching us." Zhao Xunzhen turned his head and stared at the red bead and said.
"What!" Liang Yan was startled and followed her line of sight, "You mean this thing is alive?"
Zhao Xunzhen was silent for a while and whispered: "It's alive. You're right to say that, but it doesn't have its own thoughts, and its actions are completely instinctive."
Just as Zhao Xunzhen was speaking, a clear hiss suddenly came from the fiery red ball, and then the entire stone platform began to shake. A circle of fiery red ripples visible to the naked eye centered on the bead and spread out in all directions.
Come.
Seeing this, Liang Yan pinched the magic formula in his hand and opened a light blue light shield to protect himself and Zhao Xunzhen inside.
As the ripples gradually dissipated, spider web-like cracks began to appear on the surface of the ball, and a "click-click" sound came from it.
Immediately after the ball shattered, a fiery red light rose into the sky from inside, gradually condensed in mid-air, and finally turned into a bird and beast. It had a colorful crown on its head, its wings were spread out, and there were three fiery red feathers on its tail.
"Suzaku?!" Liang Yan frowned and looked at Zhao Xunzhen and asked.
"It's not the real Suzaku, but the young fire spirit." Zhao Xunzhen shook his head and said: "The Nanming Lihuo here has been around for too long, and it has already transformed into a fire spirit, and the Suzaku and the Nanming Lihuo live side by side. This transformed
The fire spirit naturally grew into the shape of a Suzaku."
"That's it." Liang Yan nodded and said, "No wonder it looks like it's still in the Qi refining stage. If it were a real Suzaku, I'm afraid we both would have been scorched as soon as it appeared."
"You can't be careless. After all, this is the fire spirit of Nanming Lihuo. Although it has just been born and has not yet developed its intelligence, it is a spiritual creature of heaven and earth after all, and its magical powers may be difficult to resist." Zhao Xunzhen said with a solemn expression.
As she was speaking, the Suzaku Fire Spirit suddenly let out a sharp cry, then flapped its wings, and a raging crimson flame fell from mid-air and burned towards the two of them.
Zhao Xunzhen's expression changed drastically, and he retreated in panic. Liang Yan knew that she was afraid of fire, so he immediately fired a magic spell, and saw a black light flying out of his storage bag, turning into a small black shield in front of the two of them.
The crimson flame was so powerful that even if it passed through the shield, it would still spread backwards.
When Liang Yan saw this, the blue spiritual power in his hands was flowing unsteadily, and he used the "dispersing force method" of the undetermined method, struggling to disperse the lingering power of the flames.
His spiritual power was operating to the extreme, and he finally managed to neutralize the ferocious flame attack. Unexpectedly, the Suzaku Fire Spirit in mid-air screamed, and actually flapped its wings again.
This time, instead of a large sheet of flame falling, eight feathers fell from its body.
These eight feathers floated lightly in mid-air, as if they had no weight at all. The firelight was overflowing from them, making them particularly dazzling in this dark environment.
There was no coercive aura, not even much heat coming from the air, but Zhao Xunzhen's pupils quickly dilated.
"No! Escape quickly!"
With just four words, Liang Yan could already feel the fear in her heart. He knew that this woman was extremely sensitive to flames. Since she said this, it meant that this move could never be forced.
Without the slightest hesitation, Liang Yan exerted all his strength and retreated sharply backwards at the same time as Zhao Xunzhen.
Zhao Xunzhen had already sacrificed the jade heart ring while running, and Liang Yan cast a spell again to protect her mind. Almost at the moment when the two stepped onto the flaming stone bridge again, the eight feathers just landed on the stone platform.
On the ground.
boom!
A violent tornado of flames rose into the sky from the ground of the stone platform. In this boundless dark space, it was like a giant stick reaching into the sky.
Liang Yan and the two of them were on the stone bridge. They were staggered by the strong wind brought by the flame tornado, and unexpectedly fell to the ground.
He sat on the ground, looked up at the crimson pillar of fire in the darkness, and was stunned.
"The Eight Feathers of Flame Hell are Suzaku's natal magical power. I didn't expect this newborn fire spirit to have mastered it to this extent!" Zhao Xunzhen said with lingering fear.
"Are you kidding me?" Liang Yan said with a frightened look on his face: "The power of this kind of magical power is beyond what we Qi-training monks can contend with. Even the senior foundation builders who came with us may not be able to withstand it!"
Zhao Xunzhen nodded in agreement and said: "The power of this technique is simply limited to the stone platform, otherwise we would have died countless times."
The two of them sat on the ground, looking up at the pillar of fire in the darkness, both looking frightened.
"But this stone platform is the only way forward for us. Now that it is blocked by this flame, won't we be trapped here?" Liang Yan was silent for a while and suddenly asked.
"The Eight Feathers of Flame Prison consumes a lot of energy. This newly born fire spirit will probably not be able to hold on for long. When its magical power dissipates, that is when it is at its weakest, we can take advantage of the opportunity to take action."
Zhao Xunzhen looked at the raging flames in front of him, then at Liang Yan, and continued: "Moreover, there may be a huge benefit in this, waiting for you."
