Nankong watched helplessly as the firebird circled in the sky, making arrogant calls, while the flames in the City Lord's Mansion burned fiercely, as if devouring her heart.
Her eyes became redder and redder.
Suddenly, the people who tried to stop her felt a pain in their hands, and subconsciously their strength decreased. When they looked down, they found that their hands were frozen!
Just like that, Nankong broke free from his restraints and rushed into the City Lord's Mansion.
Someone noticed that she was covered in ice and snow, and wherever she touched, the flames were extinguished. Someone shouted, "God! It's the God! The God has come to seal the Fire Bird!"
Nankong was so focused on rushing into the City Lord's Mansion that she didn't notice anything strange about herself. Braving the blazing fire, she desperately searched for her parents. The moment she pushed open the door to her parents' room, someone rushed out.
It’s Zuo Qing!
He looked very miserable, but the flames hadn't burned him. He was rushing out with the city lord's wife. When she saw Misora, she was stunned.
Nan Kong was also stunned when he looked at him. Seeing that he was only with the city lord's wife, he had a bad premonition in his heart and said in a trembling voice: "Zuo Qing...Where is my father?"
Zuo Qing's expression was a little unnatural. After hesitating for a while, he said, "Miss, let's go out first. It's very dangerous here."
Nankong's heart skipped a beat, his vision went dark and he almost fell down.
The firebird circling in the sky saw that most of the flames below had been extinguished by the ice and snow. It let out a long cry and fanned the flames with its wings towards the southern sky.
The ice and snow reminded the bird of the woman who had upset it.
Zuo Qing watched the flames fall, and hurriedly supported the City Lord's wife while pulling Nan Kong forward to avoid them. The flames singed the ends of Zuo Qing's hair.
Nankong frantically pulled him up and down and looked him up and down: "Are you hurt?"
Zuo Qing's face was a little pale. He shook his head to indicate that he was fine, and then he was about to pull her out.
Seeing that its attack missed, the firebird let out another long angry cry, and the flames on its wings flew towards them again quickly.
Zuo Qing immediately felt the scorching flames flying towards him. He tried to push the City Lord's wife and Nan Kong out with force, but Nan Kong grabbed his wrist instead and pushed him hard.
Misora pushed himself out.
…
Zuo Qing took a deep breath and said, "I know she's always loved martial arts and is a very optimistic woman, always dreaming of being a chivalrous hero like the knights in the novels. But if I had known she would sacrifice herself to seal the Firebird, I would have dragged her away from Winter City and the Far North long before then."
"Did she sacrifice herself to seal the Firebird?"
"Yes, just like she told me about the legend, she has the ability to control ice and snow. So she sacrificed herself to seal the Firebird. I saw with my own eyes that she and the Firebird fell into the glacier together. There was no possibility of survival. Just like the person in the legend, he never appeared again after sealing the Firebird."
"And you left Winterfell?"
Zuo Qing sighed, "Yes. After the Firebird was sealed, the residents of Winter City left the Far North one after another. After guarding the glacier for a while, I also left the Far North with the City Lord's wife and came to Tinglan Island. However, due to burns and grief, I also passed away. I have lived on Tinglan Island ever since." After a pause, he continued, "I dare not return to the Far North. Looking at the icebergs and glaciers, I will think of every little thing I did with Nankong."
Chi Jin said: "Now that you know Miss Nankong is still alive, come with me to see her. She has been waiting for you."
Zuo Qing was silent for a moment, put on his fisherman's hat, and said, "Okay."
The story ends here.
Qu Qianqian looked at the task bar and saw that she needed to return to the Ice Rift Valley. So, while lamenting the increasingly brutal plot, she opened the map and teleported to the Ice Rift Valley.
Unexpectedly, the plot was triggered immediately upon arriving at the Ice Rift Valley.
Zuo Qing walked forward slowly, but seemed to be blocked by something and could not enter the ice crack valley. Zuo Qing looked up at the valley and said, "The firebird is still here. I can't go in."
Chi Jin looked up at him with a puzzled look on his face.
"I am a five-browed fish that cultivated into a demon. Before I took shape, I lived on the glacier all year round. I like water and cold, and I will feel uncomfortable when I get close to fire. These thousand years of life have weakened my demonic power a lot, and I can't resist the high temperature of the fire bird sealed in here." Zuo Qing explained.
Chi Jin said: "Then what should I do?"
The plot ends and the taskbar status is updated to "Taming the Firebird".
Qu Qianqian clicked on it and saw the task requirements: the player needs to tame the firebird (successfully challenge once). Since the player is a healer, he can team up with an output player to challenge.
Qu Qianqian suddenly felt that the system was quite considerate, allowing healing professions to team up with damage professions to complete the quest. If she were left alone, it would probably take until the early morning.
When it comes to the output that comes to her mind first, it must be Tong, so she sent him a private message.
[Private Chat] Chi Jin: Master, master, are you busy now?
[Private chat] Tong: Yes, do you need help?
[Private Chat] Chi Jin: Yes, yes, please help me complete the mission and defeat the Firebird. I probably can't defeat it...
[Private chat] Tong: Okay, pull me.
Qu Qianqian immediately formed a team, invited Tong to join the team, and then walked into the ice rift valley to trigger the plot.
A huge firebird broke through the ice, and as it flapped its wings, flames flew towards the two of them.
Tong instantly drew his sword and charged forward, engaging the Firebird. Chi Jin quickly unleashed his skills from behind. The light yellow and dark yellow figures intertwined in the icy valley, creating an indescribable sense of harmony.
The firebird flapped its wings, and the flames hit Tong's body, and he lost some blood, but was immediately healed by Chi Jin to full blood. The firebird was so angry that it cried loudly, and the flames flew even more violently, hitting Tong's body, and were immediately restored to full blood.
Qu Qianqian could even see the anger and resentment on Firebird's face. She felt a little amused. This game was incredibly elaborate.
After a while, the firebird fell to the ground, fluttering its wings, looking like it was "dying with its eyes open".
I was careless. This woman who was making Bird upset actually had helpers.
Chi Jin steps forward to trigger the plot.
Zuo Qing walked into the ice rift valley and entered through a cave. Chi Jin followed him in and saw the ice valley where Nan Kong appeared.
Misora was still lying quietly on the ice bed. She heard footsteps and slowly opened her eyes to look over here. When she saw the person coming, she was ecstatic.
"A Qing, you're finally here!"
