Chapter 367: Birds Pay Homage to the Phoenix?
The Golden Crow flew higher and higher, and the true fire of the sun on its body would instantly burn to ashes any grass, trees, and leaves around it that touched it during its flight.
Hua Yang was unable to control this kind of flame. Seeing the surrounding plants being ignited little by little by the flame energy in the air, Hua Yang began to get anxious.
This forest was originally strange, with many powerful evolved plants and beasts around it. They hunted here, relying on Gu Xiaoyue's closeness to plants, and avoided areas where powerful things existed.
If this place catches fire and turns to ashes, they will expose their position.
Sure enough, a purple vine of some unknown species of plant actually pulled its roots in an anthropomorphic manner and quickly approached Hua Yang and the others from the north.
Hua Yang, Gu Xiaoyue, Meng Yi and Wu Tianqi had not yet reacted when the plant swung over a vine as thick as a finger, aiming at Hua Yang's neck.
Unfortunately, just as the purple vine approached Hua Yang and was about to touch her neck, a soft white light suddenly appeared and bounced it away.
Hua Yang also noticed this. She turned around quickly and saw an unknown plant that was about the same height as herself. Moreover, her sudden turn seemed to have frightened the plant. Its dense roots were like a creature that had been struck by lightning and stood there in shock, then suddenly ran away.
Hua Yang was wondering, it was clearly this thing that attacked her first, so how come she was frightened and ran away?
But Hua Yang knew that this thing did not go far, but took root in a piece of land within a thousand meters, and had been spying on the situation on her side.
Not only that, in addition to this strange purple plant, there were many other life waves approaching at a very fast speed, but they all stopped at about one thousand meters away. They wanted to get closer but did not dare to.
Hua Yang asked the petite Monkey Da to pass through the nearby big trees that were not burned and secretly notify all the teams still nearby to return to the base.
Hou Da was an ordinary little monkey that Hua Yang had cut out of a dead mother monkey's belly in Jia City. However, after the first evolution in space, it was branded with the imprint of space, and after evolution, it actually began to speak human language.
And there is a third eye on his forehead that has not yet opened. Just like Black Cat and the Three-Eyes of the Orangutan. If it weren't for the huge difference in size, Hua Yang would almost think that the Three-Eyes and the Monkey were the same species.
After a while, Hou Da came back and told everyone that the nearby troops had basically retreated. However, from Hou Da's unclear explanation and gestures, it was known that a large group of birds were flying towards their direction.
Hua Yang originally thought that a large group would be at most a few hundred or a thousand. Thousands was still an exaggeration.
But who would have thought that the sky above the wild forest where they were was actually covered by a layer of haze resembling dark clouds, which almost blocked out all the light where they were.
Hua Yang, Gu Xiaoyue, Wu Tianqi and Meng Yi looked up and immediately prepared for a fight tacitly.
Because this was not a dark cloud or haze at all. It was a shadow made up of countless birds of all sizes. They were circling and chirping in the sky above the wild forest, and their calls were very strange.
It was like calling out to friends to join some mysterious and joyful party; the voice was high, rapid and joyful.
Hua Yang's brows furrowed even more.
This seems to be a move that will attract all the birds within a radius of thousands of miles to come here!
Hua Yang tried to communicate with Jin Wu through mental link, but found that Jin Wu was now in a closed state in her mental link and could not receive her command signals at all.
In desperation, Hua Yang used water mist to cover the people around her. They stood guard to defend against the sneak attacks from the air and nearby.
At this moment, they were surrounded by a large number of plants and animals in the center of the wild forest. Because the true sun fire from Jinwu's body leaked out and burned the plants close to it, the area around Hua Yang and the others was empty, and there was not even a breakthrough nearby.
They were all exposed to the sight of these onlookers.
Although the flower mist can to some extent block the observation of animals that use vision, there is still a fear that there may be an evolved creature nearby that uses smell and magnetic field to locate its prey.
Time passed bit by bit. The few people in the center of the circle did not dare to move at all, but their eyes were always fixed on the Golden Crow in the sky, which was full of the true fire of the sun.
Just at this moment, the Golden Crow seemed to wake up from a deep sleep. The sun's true fire in its golden eyes suddenly increased, and the flames all over its body became more intense.
Finally, "Ang!" a cry like the king of birds resounded through the sky, shocking the dense flocks of birds in the sky. As if in response, they also made various bird calls of "chirping and zhiang", and it seemed that this group of birds were extremely excited.
For some reason, this scene made Hua Yang think of a word.
Birds pay homage to the phoenix!
But Jinwu is not a phoenix, but a golden crow. But seeing that Jinwu is now covered in flames, as if reborn from the ashes, the more I look at it, the closer it is to what I imagined in my mind.
Finally, changes occurred in Jinwu's body.
The Sun's True Fire was not extinguished, but the Golden Crow's crow feathers fell all over the ground. A few scattered flame cores of the Sun's True Fire fell into the forest below. The forest, which had already been burned, changed after the flame core fell into the ground.
The ground was dry and fine lines appeared on it. Suddenly, something seemed to be breaking out from the ground, not very fast, but firmly pushing against the hard ground.
Finally, a golden seedling emerged from the soil.
At this time, the golden flame on the Golden Crow became stronger and stronger, and sparks kept falling on the golden seedling.
The golden seedlings were not burned by the flame core, but began to thrive like seedlings nourished by spring rain.
Hua Yang and the others watched in disbelief as the golden seedlings grew taller and taller in the flames that were like a meteor shower.
It seemed like a century had passed, and finally, the golden seedling had grown into a towering tree. Although not as tall as the tallest tree in the forest, the trunk was thick and rugged, and even the leaves that grew out of it were shining with golden fire energy.
"Xiaoyue, do you think this tree looks like a paulownia tree? The leaves also look like paulownia leaves." In order to verify her inner thoughts, Hua Yang asked several people around her.
After getting affirmative answers from several people around her, Hua Yang became even more puzzled.
The phoenix lives on the phoenix tree. Could it be that her unreliable black crow also lives on the phoenix tree? This is unscientific!
At this moment, the Golden Crow in the sky suddenly let out a sharp cry. After the cry, the Sun's True Fire grew stronger for a second, then suddenly subsided.
Without the flames, the Golden Crow's body was revealed again. However, the Golden Crow that appeared in front of everyone again was no longer the inky black crow it once was.
