Both Mu Beiye and Yang Lin were slightly taken aback after hearing Lu Yuan's words.
"A critical state of death?"
Yang Lin scratched the back of his head, subconsciously recalling the firebird that had been hovering around Lu Yuan.
The firebird seemed perfectly normal at the time, so how could it suddenly fall into a state of imminent death?
"To put it bluntly, it's like being in a vegetative state, unconscious, only able to maintain the bare minimum standard of life." Lu Yuan's expression was solemn, and he didn't seem to be lying.
certainly.
Given Lu Yuan's personality, he wouldn't joke about his tamed beast like that.
Thinking this, Yang Lin turned his gaze to Mu Beiye, who had remained silent.
but.
How could Lu Yuan be sure that Brother Mu would know how to heal his tamed beast?
Sensing Yang Lin's probing gaze, Mu Beiye did not answer Lu Yuan's question directly, but instead waved his hand at him.
"Yang Lin, go out and guard the door. Don't let anyone in without my permission."
Seeing Mu Beiye's solemn expression, Yang Lin swallowed his question and stood guard outside the office as Mu Beiye had instructed.
Only after he and Lu Yuan were left alone in the office did Mu Beiye turn his attention back to Lu Yuan.
"From what you've said, that beast was forced to awaken and receive the inheritance prematurely, which is why it's on the verge of death, right?"
“That’s right.” Lu Yuan nodded. “In the end, it was all to fight the Fei Beast and protect me that he turned into this.”
Mu Beiye's expression was knowing.
“I have encountered similar situations before. Beasts that have been forcibly awakened will generally suffer from various physical deterioration due to their inability to withstand the newly acquired power, and eventually die from exhaustion of spiritual energy.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan's heart tightened.
Although Akabane's current situation is not that serious, it is thanks to Xiao Yi's efforts and the support of the ancient tree's vitality that he is in danger; otherwise, it would be much different from what Maki Kitano said.
"I came here specifically to ask Chief Shepherd for some guidance in order to avoid this situation from happening."
Seeing Lu Yuan's persistent and serious expression, Mu Beiye sighed.
"In the end, it's all because we're trying to stop the Fei Beasts that we've fallen into this predicament. Let Bai Ze do the divination for you!"
After saying that.
Mu Beiye's aura suddenly changed, his pupils gradually dilated and finally disappeared, leaving only pale, empty whites in his eyes.
Lu Yuan was startled by this sudden change and stepped forward to support him with some concern.
There were only the two of them in the huge office. Yang Lin personally stood guard outside the door. If something happened to Mu Beiye at this moment, he would not be able to get away with it!
"Commander Mu? Commander Mu?!"
Lu Yuan grabbed Mu Beiye's shoulders and shook him a couple of times, but Mu Beiye's condition not only did not improve, but his whole body began to twitch slightly.
Immediately afterwards.
A pure white light emanated from Mu Beiye's body, especially his eyes, which were only white, which shimmered with a strange white light.
"Your name is Lu Yuan?"
A solemn and sacred voice came, as if from the distant horizon.
But Lu Yuan looked at Mu Beiye in front of him and knew that the voice came from his mouth.
"It's me."
However, after a moment, Lu Yuan came to his senses and composed himself.
"You are Mu Beiye's contracted beast, the legendary auspicious beast Bai Ze?"
Faced with the long-lost legendary divine beast, Lu Yuan's attitude was very indifferent, even somewhat arrogant.
But Bai Ze, who was attached to Mu Beiye's body, didn't care at all.
At this moment, he was carefully examining Lu Yuan.
Just as Lu Yuan was starting to feel uneasy under his gaze, Bai Ze finally looked away.
"You want to ask me for advice on how to save that firebird, right?"
"That's right."
Lu Yuan nodded, his expression finally becoming serious.
He never told Mu Beiye that the beast on the verge of death was Chiyu, nor did he mention Chiyu's racial attributes, yet Bai Ze could see through it at a glance, which suggests that Bai Ze might indeed be able to calculate a way to save Chiyu.
really.
Bai Ze lowered his head and muttered a spell that Lu Yuan couldn't understand.
It wasn't until much later that she looked up at him again.
"In half a month, a secret realm will appear in the southeast of the capital. There is a very small amount of phoenix blood in that secret realm, which can save the firebird."
"A secret realm? Phoenix blood?"
Lu Yuan frowned slightly.
The Crimson Feather bloodline is inherited from the divine beast Vermilion Bird.
The Vermilion Bird is one of the Four Celestial Spirits in mythology. Legend has it that it originated from ancient star worship and is the god of the south, representing Emperor Yan and the seven southern constellations.
As the king of birds, the phoenix is said to have originated from the Yinglong, making it a true mythical beast.
However, as far as he knew, there was no direct connection between the Vermilion Bird and the Phoenix.
How can Phoenix Blood save Chi Yu, who possesses the bloodline of the Vermilion Bird?
As if seeing through Lu Yuan's doubts, Bai Ze explained, "Although the phoenix and the vermilion bird are not directly related, the phoenix blood has a very strong healing effect. Even a very small amount is enough to heal the firebird's wounds."
After hearing Bai Ze's explanation, Lu Yuan suddenly understood.
He used to be unable to distinguish between the Vermilion Bird and the Phoenix, subconsciously associating things with their bloodlines. But in reality, Bai Ze only asked him to collect Phoenix blood because he was interested in its healing properties.
"I understand, thank you!"
Lu Yuan clasped his hands in thanks to Bai Ze and expressed his sincere gratitude.
"It's alright."
Bai Ze gave a casual reply, his eyes fixed on Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan could still see excitement and anticipation in those eyes that only had whites.
"that……"
"Outsider, I look forward to your future performance."
Before Lu Yuan could speak, Bai Ze interrupted him directly. Then, the white light surrounding Mu Beiye gradually dissipated, and the pupils in his eyes gradually returned to normal.
"it's over?"
Mu Beiye's voice came again, and Lu Yuan knew that Bai Ze had already left.
"it's over."
Lu Yuan nodded, looking at Mu Beiye thoughtfully.
"Just ask me what you want to say. Don't stare at me like that, it's creepy."
Mu Beiye took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, put it in his mouth, and said casually.
"It's nothing..." Lu Yuan coughed awkwardly, then asked, "Why did you choose to have Bai Ze possess you to see me? Couldn't you just release it directly?"
"no."
Without even thinking, Mu Beiye replied, "Do you remember what I told you before?"
