Chapter 232: Only In, No Out
Nan Xiao's mouth corners were almost stretched to the back of his ears. After he came to his senses, he bowed respectfully in the direction of Feng Zhu.
"Thank you, senior."
Feng Zhu snorted coldly, "Why don't you call me old thing anymore?"
Nan Xiao touched his nose awkwardly. Why was this old phoenix still holding a grudge?
She laughed dryly and said in a flattering tone, "If you like, I can call you that."
"Hmph," Feng Zhu snorted, disdainfully saying, "Impolite human."
Nan Xiao: “…”
Okay, I just took advantage of you, so you can curse me a few times, it won’t hurt me.
Feng Zhu talked on for a while, Nan Xiao occasionally agreeing with her without rebutting. He found it meaningless and simply disappeared into thin air.
Nan Xiao had originally thought that since she had given him a bad impression before, she would let him say a few more words to calm him down. When he had finished talking and wanted to ask something, the figure simply vanished. She tentatively called out to the air twice, "Senior, senior."
There was no response.
Well, it seems that people don't want to pay attention to her.
Nan Xiao walked silently to the edge of the stone platform, and the small stone had changed a lot.
Previously, it was covered with a black stone shell, but now it was broken into pieces and scattered around, revealing the original eggshell inside.
The phoenix egg is about the size of an adult's head. Its surface is as smooth as jade, with a warm red-gold luster, and it seems as if there is a flame faintly leaping deep in the eggshell.
It twinkles and looks pretty.
Although Nan Xiao didn't know what was going on, he didn't dare to touch it casually.
She just stood there and took a quick look before looking away.
Looking at Xiao Shitou's condition, I don't know how long it will take. I'm afraid Fourth Brother and the others will be getting impatient waiting.
Nan Xiao thought about going down first to pass on a message to Su Xun and the others, so as to reassure them. However, she couldn't get close to the white fog at all and could only move around in the blank central area.
No matter what she did, she couldn't break through the white fog and get outside.
Nan Xiao was helpless, forcing a smile on his face, and shouted earnestly into the air: "Senior, please don't bother with a small human like me."
"It was all my fault before. I didn't recognize the great man. I apologize to you again."
Nan Xiao bowed again, and even changed her direction several times in case it saw her.
After waiting for a long time, there was still no response. When Nan Xiao was about to think of another way, she turned around and found Feng Zhu standing behind her. She took a step back reflexively.
Feng Zhu rolled her eyes and sneered mercilessly, "Coward."
Nan Xiao: “…”
She nodded quickly: "You are right."
She opened her big, innocent eyes and asked tentatively, "Senior, my companions are still down there. Can I go down and tell them I'm safe?"
"Or, when can we leave?"
"You can't leave." Seeing Nan Xiao's puzzled expression, Feng Zhu pointed to the small stone on the stone platform and explained, "This place is restricted. Before the little thing hatches, this place, and even this entire area, including those below, cannot be entered or left."
Nan Xiao quickly asked, "Can my companions come up?"
"No," Feng Zhu ruthlessly rejected her request: "If you want them to die, then I can let them come up."
Nan Xiao's mouth twitched slightly, then forget it.
"When will that little stone break out of its shell?"
Feng Zhu's brows knitted together, and she said dissatisfiedly, "What a name, it's so ugly."
Nan Xiao: “…”
"Change it. It changes as soon as it breaks out of its shell. Pick a change it likes."
Whatever the senior says is what it is. We didn’t give the little stone a name before. Because it was just a stone, we just called it the little stone.
Feng Zhu nodded dignifiedly and said, "You must take my surname, Feng."
"Your son?"
"no."
Nan Xiao: “…”
Feng Zhu: "It's almost there. The hatching time can be as short as three to five months, or as long as three to five years, or even ten to eight years."
Nan Xiao's expression changed immediately.
This is also called fast???
Playing.
She tentatively asked, "Senior, could you please send us out first, and then I'll come pick up the little... phoenix after it hatches?"
"Didn't I tell you just now? This place is for entry only, not exit." Feng Zhu frowned, a little unhappy: "Why, do you really want to get out?"
Since he couldn't get out anyway, Nan Xiao resumed his usual sloppy self and replied lazily, "That's not the case. It's just that the spiritual energy here is too thin to cultivate."
Although she had space, she was still a little afraid of the old phoenix and didn't want to use it in front of it.
Feng Zhu laughed disdainfully, the contempt in her eyes almost overflowing.
"That's a thing."
After saying this, it moved its hand, and the space here was instantly filled with spiritual energy, so rich that it was intoxicating.
"You are indeed too weak. This should be useful to you humans. Now, is there anything else?"
Nan Xiao's eyes lit up instantly, and he nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, yes... My companions are all downstairs, can they enjoy it too?"
It's impossible for her to eat well up there while they are worried and frightened down there, and in the end they don't even have a sip of soup.
Nan Xiao clasped his hands together, his eyes sparkling with a hint of anticipation as he looked at him, "Senior, could you please help me pass on some good news to them?"
"trouble."
After Feng Zhu finished speaking, her figure disappeared again.
Nan Xiao didn't know whether he agreed or not.
Just in case, Nan Xiao put the bracelet back on his wrist and used vibration to transmit it to Lu Huai, hoping that he could understand what he meant.
After Lu Huai felt the vibration of his wrist, before he could start speaking, a phantom appeared in the sky. It was hard to see clearly, but it seemed extremely powerful and imposing.
"The Dwarfs are currently safe. You will remain here for a period of time. You may move freely within this area, but you may not leave the barrier, or you will die."
Zhuo Hua just stretched out a hand and wanted to ask something, but the shadow had disappeared.
Instead, a rich spiritual energy instantly enveloped the entire underground space.
The hot magma at my feet was slowly receding, revealing more movable rocks.
Everyone looked at each other, all a little out of the mood.
Finally, it was Chen Wenxuan who concluded, "So, what you mean, Senior, is that Nan Xiao has been temporarily detained up there for some reason. We can move around and practice in the forbidden area, but we cannot leave."
Zhuo Hua touched his chin and nodded thoughtfully: "After Brother Chen's explanation, I understand now."
"Honestly, the spiritual energy here is as rich as that in the Heavenly Ladder Rankings back then. It's perfect for cultivation."
Lu Huai said, "Fourth Senior Brother, I want to go to the dense forest outside to take a look. I've been stuck on the last level of my swordsmanship for a long time, and I want to practice it."
"Okay, I'll go with you."
Jian Mo also said: "When I came here before, I noticed that there were quite a few rare spiritual plants. I want to pick some and refine new elixirs. I will join you."
Chen Wenxuan and Mingcheng said that their cultivation had reached a critical point and they needed to calm down and practice.
Finally, Su Xun, Lu Huai, and Jian Mo went outside to practice, while the rest stayed here to practice.
Before leaving, Zhuo Hua looked serious, took Su Xun's arm, and repeatedly reminded him: "Protect my senior sister."
"knew."
