Lu Mengmeng shook her head.
"Compared to the brutality of the dragon race, the phoenix is a relatively gentle beast."
They generally won't attack you unless you attack them.
Unless… he mistook us for the arsonists.”
Lu Haotian frowned.
"This is troublesome. Is there no way to communicate with them?"
He remembered that Pi Xiuxiu and Xiao Fenghuang could communicate before.
Communicating with the Great Phoenix shouldn't be a problem.
Lu Mengmeng shook her head.
"It's no use saying anything now."
Those phoenixes that have lost their parasol trees have gone mad.
Once they've identified us as arsonists, no amount of explanation will help.
Hearing Lu Mengmeng's misunderstanding of her people, the little phoenix jumped up and down on Lu Haotian's shoulder and said indignantly, "No, that's not true!"
Uncles, aunts, uncles, and aunts must have solid evidence to conclude that we were the ones who did it.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have been following us so unreasonably.
Lu Mengmeng's gaze fell on the little phoenix.
He said bluntly, "Don't you know whether we set the fire or not?"
Where did this concrete evidence come from?
The little phoenix puffed out its cheeks, showing no sign of backing down.
"We were fighting just now."
You definitely didn't set the fire, but what about the others?
After saying that, he looked at Lu Haotian with a fawning expression.
"Of course, the master wouldn't set a fire!"
When Xiao Zhenyu and his group arrived, this was the first thing they heard.
Tao Yue immediately frowned.
"We didn't set the fire!"
While you were all there, my brother and I just stood around watching the fun.
If you don't believe me, you can ask the little phoenixes next to you.
I even saw how cute the little phoenix next to me was, and I drooled all over him.
Several people: ...
Otherwise, if you see a cute little phoenix and drool over it, that's called seeing a delicious little phoenix and drooling over it!
After Tao Yue finished explaining, everyone's eyes fell on Xiao Zhenyu.
Xiao Zhenyu immediately waved his hand.
"How could I do such a thing?"
I was standing diagonally behind Haotian and diagonally in front of Taoxing at the time.
He should have seen me.
After saying that, he looked at Tao Xing and gestured for him to provide some testimony.
Tao Xing met his gaze, but didn't try to trick Xiao Zhenyu.
He was indeed always in front of me.
Throughout the fight between Xiuxiu and Little Phoenix, he never left my sight.
Now, everyone present frowned.
If they didn't do it, why are the phoenixes chasing after them?
Lu Haotian: "Anyway, let's leave this island first."
Upon hearing this, everyone stopped delaying and ran towards the water.
"Chirp—!"
With a bloodcurdling scream, behind them, amidst the raging flames, tens of thousands of phoenixes soared into the sky.
Those phoenixes, like warriors going to their deaths, disregarded their own safety and set their entire bodies ablaze with phoenix fire.
They swarmed towards Lu Mengmeng and her friends.
Phoenix fire is the phoenix's natal fire, and also the fire of rebirth.
Once the fire is completely extinguished, the phoenix will gather on the parasol tree and undergo rebirth.
But now that the phoenix trees are gone, these phoenixes are burning their own lives to ignite the phoenix fire again.
Upon seeing this, Tao Yue's face turned pale instantly.
His voice trembled as he asked, "What grudge, what hatred?"
They actually want to perish together with us!
Who dared to mess with them? Don't let me find out, or I'll kill them!
Tao Xing, panting heavily, said, "You should think of a way to escape this calamity first."
Judging from the way those phoenixes were behaving, they clearly had no intention of letting us leave alive.
"When you die, where will you find revenge?"
Tao Yue looked at Tao Xing with a sorrowful expression.
"Brother, I just realized that you have such a sharp tongue."
They are even better than me.
He usually keeps a low profile, which fooled all the elders in his family.
I was the only one facing the rage head-on.
I'm so wronged! Waaaaah!
Tao Xing angrily said, "Stop joking and run!"
Lu Mengmeng was quite fast, and she would occasionally pull Lu Haotian along, so running wasn't too difficult for her.
Her gaze swept slightly behind her, but her brows furrowed.
Seeing her frown, Lu Haotian asked, "What's wrong?"
Lu Mengmeng thought for a moment and then shook her head.
"I just think that Xiao Zhenyu, as a nobody, is running too fast."
Lu Haotian: ? ? ?
Lu Mengmeng met Lu Haotian, her gaze full of confusion, and continued, "The Tao siblings are demonic beasts, so it's normal for them to run fast."
With me by your side to help you, and given your own fast running speed, it's not surprising that you can keep up with my pace.
Xiao Zhenyu was born an ordinary human, without a trace of demon blood.
How can he run so fast?
Lu Haotian glanced back and guessed, "There's also a Gale Spell in sorcery, which can increase a person's speed when applied to them."
"Xiao Zhenyu is a sorcerer, so it's not surprising that he's fast, is it?"
