Chapter 784 The Power of the Phoenix
"Okay." Zhou Wen nodded in agreement. If he couldn't kill the guardian, it would be fine to let others try.
However, Zhou Wen did not act immediately, as he always felt that the gourd nearby was a hidden danger.
Now that the bird is suppressing it, the gourd dares not act rashly. However, if a fight breaks out with the guardian, it will be troublesome if the gourd releases the poisonous insects inside to cause trouble.
"Wait a moment, I'll find a way to take this gourd off," Zhou Wen said to Li Mobai and the others.
Die joked, "Just drip some blood on the cocoon. The gourd won't be in any way involved, so there's no need to go to all that trouble, right? Are you also worried about not getting the Guardian's approval?"
Zhou Wen didn't answer her and continued to study the gourd in front of him.
This gourd is indeed a good thing. It can even control mythical poisonous insects, and it can also make them kill each other and evolve by devouring each other.
This is actually very similar to the companion pet synthesis function of the mobile phone, but it is a more primitive and rough version, not as modern as the fusion function of the mobile phone.
Zhou Wen thought to himself, "If I can get this gourd back, I'll be able to come up with some strange and bizarre synthetic pets in the future, and that will explain it. But how can I get this gourd back? Is this thing considered a dimensional creature? If I cut the gourd off, will it drop a companion egg?"
The bird pecked and scratched at the gourd, but the effect was not very good. Even its golden flame had little effect on the gourd.
Zhou Wen used the Golden Overlord Sword to slash a few times. Although he was able to cut the gourd into pieces, the space inside the gourd seemed to have the characteristics of spatial extension. The sword light rushed in and gradually disappeared, without causing much damage. Moreover, the gourd was able to recover quickly.
"Since we can't cut the gourd, let's remove its roots." Zhou Wen took a look at the roots of the gourd vine and planned to start from there.
The golden sword slashed down wildly, and the sword light was invincible. Before the sword light hit the root of the gourd vine, the gourd suddenly spewed out more than a dozen poisonous insects.
One after another, strange-looking poisonous insects rushed towards Zhou Wen. Some were as small as sesame seeds, while others were as big as beasts, and their abilities were different.
Everyone was shocked. They didn't expect that there were so many poisonous insects in the gourd. Gu Shanshui and Li Mobai were reflexively ready to fight.
A bird chirped loudly, and the poisonous insects that were originally rushing towards Zhou Wen were suddenly frightened and their bodies softened, falling from the air as if paralyzed.
Only a few mythical poisonous insects rushed towards Zhou Wen, but seeing their bodies trembling, it was obvious that they were extremely scared. They had to rush over only because they were controlled by the gourd.
Seeing that they dared to rush over, the bird immediately became furious, flapped its wings and jumped up, rushing over and pecking and scratching at the poisonous insects.
The power of the bird is actually not as strong as those mythical poisonous insects, but for some reason, those mythical poisonous insects did not dare to resist and were pecked by the bird until they were bleeding. One small mythical poisonous insect was even swallowed directly by the bird.
The bird was not afraid of the poisonous insects parasitizing in its body at all. For a moment, it was very majestic, looking like an emperor dealing with a group of eunuchs. Those eunuchs did not dare to fight back at all.
"No wonder Dugu Chong said that the phoenix is the nemesis of poisonous insects. Gu Shanshui also worships the bird as a god after seeing it. The phoenix's ability to restrain poisonous insects is really too strong." Zhou Wen originally thought that there would be a fierce battle, but now it seems that he doesn't need to take action at all. The bird can solve all the poisonous insects by itself.
Li Mobai looked at the majestic little bird, seemingly lost in thought. It seemed that he had guessed the bird's origin.
"No wonder Zhou Wen dared to take the risk to come to the South District. It turns out he has such a magical item on him." Li Mobai suddenly realized that it was not because he moved Zhou Wen, but because Zhou Wen was sure of his life, so he followed him to the Valley of No Return.
The bird was so powerful that it swallowed all the dozen poisonous insects in a short while. Its body had obviously grown a lot bigger and its belly had become rounder.
Zhou Wen suddenly remembered that the antelope had taken the bird to the Golden Summit of Laojun Mountain. After returning, the bird suddenly turned from a fat ball to a thin one.
At that time, Zhou Wen was very confused as to why the bird suddenly became thinner. Now he thought that the bird must have gained some benefits at the Golden Summit of Laojun Mountain and digested the accumulated energy in its body.
"No wonder the bird seemed to have grown a lot after that incident. It turned out that it wasn't because time had passed, but because it had benefited from it." Zhou Wen now understood why the phoenix had given the bird to him.
This thing ate several mythical-level poisonous insects and nearly ten epic-level poisonous insects, but it only became fat like a ball and did not grow up immediately.
If they wanted to raise it to adulthood, they didn't know how many resources would be consumed. The phoenix probably couldn't afford to raise so many little phoenixes, so it wanted to help it choose a good family to live and eat for free. But for some reason, it chose itself.
After losing all the poisonous insects, the gourd trembled, but it was just a gourd after all and could not escape like the animal-like dimensional creatures.
Zhou Wen was not polite either. He drew his sword and started chopping. After a few strikes, he cut off the roots of the gourd vine.
As soon as the gourd root was broken, the gourd vine withered immediately, the blue-gray leaves shrank and fell off, and the color of the gourd gradually became lighter. The original blue-gray color gradually turned into light gray, and finally turned into grayish white.
Zhou Wen slashed the gourd vine, which had also turned grayish-white, with his sword, and the gourd vine turned directly into ashes, with only the gourd remaining intact.
Zhou Wen stretched out his hand and sucked the gourd into his hand. He squeezed it hard and found that the gourd was still as hard as before and did not become powdery like the vines and leaves.
Although the gourd was still there, there was no life in it. Zhou Wen didn't know if the gourd could still be used, so he put it away first.
The little bird ate too much and walked unsteadily, looking as if it would fall to the ground and roll out at any moment.
"You guys step back first, I'm going to take action." Zhou Wen said to Li Mobai and the others.
The guardians are generally very powerful. Even if Zhou Wen can kill the guardians inside, there will be a big battle. In order not to affect them, he asked them to go away in advance so that they would not have time to escape.
"It's just a drop of blood, there's no need to make such a fuss, right?" Die said.
"Let's go." Li Mobai seemed to have realized something and directly ordered Die and the mute to follow him and retreat to a distance.
Although Gu Shanshui didn't know why Zhou Wen asked them to retreat, he still took Gu Lou and Gu He and retreated to a distance.
