So the two decided to look for the red light spot marked on the map again.
During their long exploration, they encountered many difficulties and challenges, but they never gave up.
Finally, they came to an ancient ruin that contained another artifact.
Just as they were ecstatic, a mysterious figure appeared...
The mysterious figure slowly turned, revealing a breathtakingly beautiful face. His eyes were as bright as the morning light, yet tinged with a hint of sadness.
"You shouldn't come here." His voice seemed to come from the sky, ethereal and melodious.
Mo Xi and Mu Li exchanged a glance, a strange awe welling up in their hearts. They looked warily at the mysterious man before them and asked, "Who are you? Why are you stopping us?"
The mysterious man smiled slightly and said, "I am the messenger guarding this artifact. If you want to take it, you must pass my test."
After saying this, a ray of light appeared in the mysterious man's hand, transforming into an illusory phoenix. He looked at Mu Li and Mo Xi, with a glimmer of anticipation in his eyes.
"Defeat it and you will get the artifact."
"Phoenix? Are you from the Phoenix clan?" Mu Li asked curiously.
The mysterious man was silent for a while, then said sadly, "I am the only phoenix left in this world... There is no more phoenix clan, no more..."

"Is it so obvious? You discovered it..." The mysterious man was stunned for a moment and smiled bitterly.

"Mom, why did you ask the baby to come out? The baby is so sleepy!"
Mu Li slipped and almost fell! "Didn't I tell you to call me sister?"
"Hehe, I just forgot for a moment!" Little Phoenix scratched his head and said shyly.
"You! It..." The mysterious man widened his eyes and looked at the little phoenix in disbelief the moment he saw it. "How...how is this possible?"
The little phoenix flapped its wings and flew in front of the mysterious man. It tilted its head, blinked its eyes, and said in a baby voice, "Hello, big brother!"
The mysterious man stretched out his fingers and gently touched the feathers of the little phoenix, with a hint of tenderness in his eyes, "Hello..."
Mo Xi and Mu Li smiled at each other, knowing that this test might be different with the appearance of the little phoenix. However, the identity of the mysterious man and his connection with the little phoenix remained a mystery...
"Are you still seeking death now?" Mu Li asked mischievously.
