San Zong exhaled white air from his mouth and said, "It's here. The feathers of the phoenix-tailed phoenix are particularly warm, keeping them warm in winter and cool in summer. That's why they can survive here."
"And there's a col here, and for some reason it's not cold there."
"The last time we came here, it was minus 20 degrees Celsius outside the col and 10 degrees Celsius inside."
"The most suitable temperature for the phoenix-tailed pheasant is around ten degrees Celsius."
"For example, the area around us is very suitable for the survival of the phoenix-tailed pheasant."
The highest temperature in Xia Chujian's manor in the summer is only 20 degrees, and that's under direct sunlight.
Once it gets a little cool, the temperature drops by five degrees.
San Zong continued, "The land where San Zong built the enclosure for Fengwei Luan is near the big banyan tree. The highest temperature there in the summer is only ten degrees."
"In winter, the roof can be raised to form a closed system, and the temperature inside can be maintained at around ten degrees."
Xia Chujian was overjoyed: "Sanzong, there's a roof over there? Why didn't I see it?"
Aunt Chen smiled and said, "It hasn't been raised yet... This was San Zong's suggestion. He drew the blueprints and then asked Baili Xin and his family to help build it."
"After we finished building it, the birds we caught refused to eat or drink, so we had to kill them before they starved to death..."
San Zong said happily, "Thank goodness Master Shaojun is back! This newly captured nest of phoenix-tailed pheasants is very well behaved, eating and drinking, and even laid eggs last night!"
Aunt Chen narrowed her eyes and smiled: "So, our family cannot exist without Master Shaojun!"
This was the first time Aunt Chen called Xia Chujian "Young Master", but it didn't feel strange at all, as if she had called him that countless times in her heart, and it just came out naturally.
Xia Chujian was used to hearing Sanzong call her that, so she didn't take it seriously and said, "Then let's look around here and see if we can find the Phoenix-tailed Luan bird."
"Don't take him back yet, just mark it here."
San Zong nodded and said, "Our land isn't very big. If a few more come, there won't be enough space."
Xia Chujian smiled and exchanged glances with Zhu Yingying, then said, "Then lead the way to the place where you caught the phoenix-tailed luan bird last time?"
Three Manes said excitedly, "Young Master, please come this way! Three Manes has marked this place!"
Xia Chujian followed him all the way and looked around, but didn't see any signs.
She asked curiously, "Sanmane, where did you put the mark?"
Sanmane pointed to a row of light yellow lantern flowers on the ground and said, "This is the mark."
"Three Manes scattered lantern flower seeds along the way."
"This is a modified version of the three-mane lantern flower. It is very cold-resistant and can grow here all year round."
Xia Chujian looked at the winding lantern flower path and marveled, "San Zong, you're amazing! How did you come up with that?"
They walked along this light yellow lantern flower path towards the northwest.
After walking for about ten minutes, Sanmane said, "It's right ahead. There's a col there."
Xia Chujian and Sanzong walked around several big trees and came to the entrance of a valley.
As soon as he walked into the entrance, a string of data appeared on the display screen of Xia Chujian's mecha eyepiece, showing that the hydrogen sulfide content here was extremely high.
Then Qilu also sent her the inference results of this data.
[Qilu]: Based on the analysis of the landform and atmospheric environment, there are rich geothermal resources here, and there should also be hot springs.
Xia Chujian suddenly realized something and muttered to himself, "Could there be a hot spring here? Is that why the temperature inside the valley is so much higher than outside?"
San Zong turned around and said, "Hot springs? Is this the place you're talking about, Young Master?"
He pointed to a place filled with white mist and said to Xia Chujian, "I don't know what's going on there, but it's always steaming."
Xia Chujian walked over and took a look, and found that the hot spring here should still be underground.
But maybe the geological structure here is quite special, so some springs have already appeared in some places.
Hot steam came out of the spring, making the entire valley warm.
Those phoenix birds were flying in the woods, dragging their colorful tail feathers, which was really beautiful.
But like all pheasants, the phoenix cannot fly high or for long.
Sanzong stood beside Xia Chujian, looked up at the phoenixes flying in the air, and suddenly jumped up, his body like a small cannonball, leaping into the air.
Then he quickly stretched out his palms, grabbed two phoenixes, one on the left and one on the right, and returned to Xia Chujian nimbly.
Xia Chujian: “!!!”
She didn't know Sanzong had this skill!
When Feng Qianzhan had driven Sanzong to "sneak attack" Xia Chujian and the others, he had simply knelt down and begged for mercy, with no intention of attacking them at all.
San Zong didn't notice the change in Xia Chujian's expression. He just said in surprise, "Master Shaojun! These are exactly two phoenix-tailed phoenixes, a male and a female! Take them home and raise them permanently!"
Xia Chujian recovered, nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, then take it with you."
"But we still have to go north. It's very cold there, and I'm afraid this phoenix-tailed phoenix will be difficult to take care of."
San Zong said, "No problem. I've built a small shed in a tree here. I can tie them up there and take them away when I return."
As Sanmane said this, he leaped again and flew to a nearby big tree.
The tree has dense branches and leaves, and is an evergreen tree, very cold-resistant.
