Chapter 262: Birds Pay Homage to the Phoenix
Suddenly, a clear whistle sounded in the forest, like tearing silk or shattering jade - the long cry of a phoenix.
First, a few birds fluttered across the branches, and then a large group of birds swarmed in from all directions.
Orioles, thrushes, tits, cuckoos... even the usually noisy crows closed their beaks and just flapped their wings, making the sound of the mountains.
Hundreds of birds circled in whirlpools at the treetops, shaking off golden sunlight as their wings rubbed against each other, but they were all three feet away from the phoenix tree - the phoenix was lazily preening its feathers, and with a flutter of its tail feathers, it swept half the sky red.
Long Dian woke up in this scene.
As soon as he opened his eyes, the little phoenix flew to his chest and stared at him with its little head tilted.
He pecked Long Dian's chin gently with his beak and swept his tail across his belly, as if to say, "You're finally awake."
Long Dian propped himself up and sat up, holding the little phoenix in his palm, "Little ancestor, welcome to the world of beasts."
The little phoenix pecked at his temple - the black hair there had turned silver.
Long Dian touched it and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, it's only sixty years of life."
Most of his only 100 years of life has been wasted!
"It's just that I can't accompany you until you grow up." Long Dian's eyes dimmed for a moment.
Suddenly, a stream of red-gold light split the clouds—the little phoenix spread its wings and wrapped up Long Dian.
Between heaven and earth, a long cry was heard... There was a hint of sadness in the cry of the phoenix.
"Little ancestor, I'm really fine, don't be sad."
Long Dian only thought she was a little phoenix that had just hatched from its shell, but he didn't know that her inherited memory had already been imprinted with his five hundred years of protection and support.
"It's time for us to go back to the tribe." Long Dian stood up and suddenly felt dizzy. He staggered for a while before he could steady himself.
The loss of his life force and blood made him extremely weak and exhausted!
Long Dian looked at his palm, smiled bitterly, and then clenched his fist. Even if he only had forty years left, he would raise the little phoenix.
——This is the “daughter” he has raised for five hundred years.
The little phoenix flew to his shoulder and nestled against his neck. Thousands of feet of flowing clouds exploded at the tip of its tail, and each feather was adorned with molten stars, like a brocade torn from the sky, pouring down from Long Dian's shoulders.
As Long Dian moved, countless birds circled in the sky, following the king of birds a hundred steps behind.
Grandpa Priest, a lookout stone that always waits at the entrance of the tribe.
Seeing Long Dian returning, he immediately went to greet him with a smiling face.
"Blue Dragon God, the colorful clouds in the sky are so beautiful. Has the little red egg cracked?"
I still remember that when the little dragon god broke out of his shell, this was the scene that was conveyed through the dragon clan’s images.
Long Dian turned his head to look at the little phoenix with squinting eyes on his shoulder, revealing an extremely doting smile, "Well, she has broken out of the shell."
The priest clapped his hands happily, stretched his neck to look around, and asked in confusion: "Where is the little red dragon god?"
"What little red dragon god?" Long Dian was puzzled.
Grandfather Priest: "Didn't you say she broke out of her shell?"
Long Dian's expression remained unchanged, and he frowned and asked, "Do you think she is a red dragon?"
The priest nodded, what else?
Long Dian's face darkened and he snorted coldly, "Asshole! She is the Phoenix, the king of birds - the Phoenix!"
The priest finally set his sights on Long Dian’s shoulder and... the spectacular scene of hundreds of birds flying behind him.
Long Dian was very unhappy and turned away with his sleeves swung.
The priest was sweating profusely...he seemed to have discovered an incredible secret.
Long Chen once said that Xiao Hongdan was his daughter.
But Ange doesn't have an animal form, so it's impossible for her to lay a phoenix egg.
So...Ange was cheated on!
The priest looked at Ange's cave with heartache and sighed.
No wonder Long Chen gave the egg to the Azure Dragon God to hatch and took Ange away from the tribe. He was probably afraid that Ange would be sad.
According to the high priests of the Dragon Temple, Phoenix was the wife of the first Dragon God.
It is because of the Phoenix that people in the Beast World have the ability to awaken into beast form.
So - the Phoenix is also their god.
No matter who the little phoenix's mother is, they should respect her.
The little phoenix has hatched, and I wonder when Ange and the others will come back?
As Long Dian just returned to the cave entrance, the little phoenix suddenly fell from his shoulder.
He was startled and quickly caught the little phoenix.
The one caught was a delicate little baby with big, black, grape-like eyes that took up one-third of his face. His eyelashes were thick and curled like butterfly wings, casting fan-shaped shadows under his eyes when he blinked.
The small nose seems to be carefully carved out of white jade, and the cherry mouth is slightly pouting, so beautiful that it seems not to be a thing of this world.
"So, so cute!" Long Dian's heart was melted by the cuteness. This was the girl of his dreams.
I can’t even imagine what kind of beauty this little ancestor will be when she grows up.
Unfortunately, he couldn't see it.
He has to protect such a cute little baby well.
It makes me sad to think that when she grows up, she will be picked up by some unknown pig.
In just a moment, Long Dian thought about the process of Little Phoenix's growth from infancy to adulthood, and then to marriage and childbirth.
The more he thought about it, the sadder he became. He really wished he could have the chance to attend Little Phoenix's wedding.
If he had enough life to accompany her to grow up, he hoped to marry her off as a father.
"Pa" Long Dian slapped himself...What was he thinking about? Little Phoenix was still so young. If he really had that long to live, he would not want Little Phoenix to get married.
The little phoenix stared at Long Dian with its big round eyes. When it saw him suddenly go crazy and slap itself, it cried out "Wow~".
"Why is the little ancestor crying? Is he hungry?" Long Dian was instantly panicked.
Although he had five hundred years of experience in raising phoenix eggs, he had never raised a baby!
What should I do?
That’s right! Langbai has milk, go find Langbai.
Lang Bai accidentally fell a few days ago, causing his baby to be born prematurely.
The situation was very critical at the time. Although not as dangerous as a difficult birth for a marine fish, it still left the priests helpless.
Ange was not in the tribe again, so Lang Yi found Long Dian in desperation.
At that time, Long Dian was not in the tribe. It was Lang Yi who transformed into a beast and ran to several hills before he found Long Dian who was breathing on the top of the mountain.
All Long Dian had in his eyes was the phoenix egg that had not yet hatched, and he didn't want to meddle in other people's business.
Lang Yi knelt in front of him and begged, "Little Dragon God hatched in the dragon clan, and sister returned the milk. Little Dragon God feeds on sister's milk from sea fish and the milk from the cows and goats I raise."
"If the little red egg breaks, Wolf White will be her wet nurse."
Wet nurse?
Long Dian was moved. The little phoenix was already showing signs of breaking out of its shell, so it was time to find a wet nurse for her in advance.
Even though he didn't have a wet nurse, he was able to raise her with dragon blood and spiritual power.
But all children want to have milk to drink, right?
Long Dian and Lang Yi returned to the tribe and saved Lang Bai and his mother.
When Long Dian suddenly appeared at the entrance of Lang Yi's cave holding the little phoenix, Lang Bai was feeding her cubs inside.
