Chapter 116 Suzaku
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 first glanced at Zhao Xunzhen and saw that she was still adjusting her breath with her eyes closed, so he did not disturb her, but stood up and walked towards the center of the stone platform.
This crimson stone platform is so big that you can't even see the other side at a glance. Liang Yan walked up there for a while. Although the surroundings were empty, he somehow always felt like he was being watched.
This feeling is very subtle. If Liang Yan was not 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 extremely 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 round tribute platform, with a thumb-sized ball floating in the air above the platform. The crimson bead emits a faint red light 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, with a look of surprise on his face.
"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 looking at us.” Zhao Xunzhen turned his head and said, staring at the red ball.
"What!" Liang Yan was startled and looked along 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 actions. Relying on it is completely instinctive."
Just as Zhao Xunzhen was speaking, a clear hissing sound suddenly came from the fiery red ball, and then the entire stone platform shook, with a circle of fiery red ripples visible to the naked eye. With the round bead as the center, it spread to all directions.
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 bead 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 has a colorful crown on its head, its wings are spread out, and there are 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 given birth to the fire spirit, and the Suzaku is accompanied by the Nanming Lihuo. The transformed fire spirit naturally grew into the shape of a Suzaku."
"I see." Liang Yan nodded and said, "No wonder it looks like it's still in the Qi refining stage. If it were the real Suzaku, I'm afraid we 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 talking, the Suzaku Fire Spirit suddenly let out a sharp cry, then flapped its wings, and a raging crimson flame fell from the 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 cast a spell, and saw a black light fly out from his storage bag, turning into a small black shield to block 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 this ferocious flame attack. Unexpectedly, the Suzaku fire spirit in mid-air screamed, and its wings flapped again.
This time there was no large fire falling, but eight feathers fell from it.
These eight feathers were fluttering in mid-air, as if they had no weight at all. They were filled with firelight, which looked particularly dazzling in this dark environment.
There was no aura of coercion, not even much heat coming from the air, but Zhao Xunzhen's pupils expanded rapidly.
"No! Escape!"
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 must not be forced.
Without any hesitation, Liang Yan exerted all his strength and retreated sharply back 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 landed on the stone platform.
Boom!
A violent tornado of flames rose into the sky from the stone platform. In this boundless dark space, it was like a giant stick reaching into the sky.
Liang Yan and Liang Yan were on the stone bridge. They were staggered by the strong wind brought by the flame tornado, and they fell to the ground.
He sat on the ground, looking up at the crimson pillar of fire in the darkness, already dumbfounded.
"The Eight Feathers of Flame Prison are Suzaku's natal magical power. I didn't expect that this young fire spirit that was just born could already master 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 resist it. Stay! ”
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 sat on the ground, in the darkness, at the same time Looking up at this pillar of fire that reaches the sky, everyone looks like they are still 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 then suddenly asked.
"The Eight Feathers of Flame Prison consumes extremely much energy. This fire spirit is newly born and 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 strike."< br>
Zhao Xunzhen looked at the raging flames in front of him, then at Liang Yan, and continued: "Besides, there may be a huge benefit in this, waiting for you."
