Chapter 244 Phoenix True Flame
Chapter 244 Phoenix True Flame
"Phoenix True Flame." The woman looked at the spreading flames, a cold glint in her eyes. She had thought that with the Heavenly Fox gone, they could obtain the Demon Phoenix Egg, but she hadn't expected him to set up the Phoenix True Flame.
The spirits in the Forest of Bonds are most afraid of fire. Doesn't that fox fear that the Phoenix True Flame will burn down the entire Forest of Bonds?
"Owner!"
Just as the woman watched the fire spread, all the strange-looking people retreated: "Master, the fire is too big, we can't get in."
Upon hearing this, the woman glanced coldly at the demon who had spoken, then looked at Lin Xinze and the flower spirits.
Seeing the woman looking at them, the little petal-like people swarmed forward and attacked her, shouting, "Xiao Ze, run!"
The woman raised her hand, and a force flew out, forming a closed space that trapped all the little petal figures inside.
"Run?" The woman looked at the people with small flower petals and sneered, then lowered her eyes to look at Lin Xinze: "You have demonic energy on you. Spirits dislike demons, so why are they befriending you?"
Lin Xinze didn't know either. He looked at the trapped little flower petals and said, "I'll tell you if you release them."
The woman glanced at the flower spirits, then looked at Lin Xinze: "You want me to release them?"
Lin Xinze nodded.
"Okay," the woman said. "Go into the fire and retrieve something for me, and I'll release them, how about that?"
"Xiaoze, don't listen to her!"
"Don't worry about us, let's go!"
"You bitch, let me tell you, Xiaoze's brother and sister are no ordinary people. If you dare to hurt him, they won't let you get away with it!"
"That's right, I advise you to let Xiaoze go!"
"Brother and sister?" The woman chuckled. "He's so young, and his sister is even younger. How could they not be something simple?"
"Master," a subordinate standing nearby reminded her, seeing that the woman was still in the mood to argue with the flower spirits, "the fire is spreading rapidly."
The woman glanced at the subordinate who had spoken, then looked at Lin Xinze: "Have you thought it through?"
Lin Xinze glanced back at the raging fire: "I'm going to die."
"With such a huge fire, isn't it normal to die?" The woman looked at Lin Xinze and said with a smile, "I'm giving you a choice: whether you die or they die."
"I'll release them if you go inside, okay?"
Lin Xinze pursed his lips, not answering immediately.
The little flower petals were very kind to him, and he liked them very much, but... he still had to wait for his brother and sister.
But if they don't go, the little petal people will die...
Lin Xinze hugged the little golden tiger tightly, and the little golden tiger let Lin Xinze hold it, without making any rash moves.
Seeing that Lin Xinze hadn't spoken for a while, the woman reminded him, "Little guy, the fire is coming soon, you don't have much time left."
"Xiaoze, don't worry about us, just go!"
Don't agree to her request!
Lin Xinze had no way to leave, but he really didn't have time to waste. Just as Lin Xinze made up his mind and was about to agree, a phoenix cry suddenly came from the sea of fire behind him.
The phoenix's cry was clear and melodious, piercing through the sea of fire and reaching Lin Xinze's ears.
Lin Xinze was startled when he heard the voice. He looked at the woman and saw that she was calm, as were her subordinates, who seemed not to have heard anything.
"I promise you." The thought of birds in the sea of fire, coupled with the fact that the petals and people were in the woman's hands, made Lin Xinze immediately agree. He looked at the woman and said, "I promise you I'll go in, you release them."
The woman was a little surprised: "You really agree?"
"Mm." Lin Xinze nodded, then stepped back while holding the little golden tiger.
The woman watched Lin Xinze retreat, and clicked her tongue lightly. She wasn't a person of her word, but since such a young child was willing to sacrifice himself for these flower spirits, she could keep her word this once.
Just as Lin Xinze was about to enter the sea of fire, the woman raised her hand and waved it, causing the power that had imprisoned the flower spirits to dissipate. Once the little flower petals were freed, they immediately rushed towards Lin Xinze.
But it was too late. Just as they rushed towards Lin Xinze, Lin Xinze had already entered the sea of fire.
"Ozawa!"
The flower spirits, fearing the flames, stopped outside the fire. But... remembering that Lin Xinze had gone in for their sake, the little petals hesitated for a moment before stepping in without hesitation.
Within the Phoenix Flame, the little golden tiger spread its wings, sheltering Lin Xinze beneath them. The little petal people rushed in and, seeing this, quickly scurried inside to check on Lin Xinze: "Xiaoze, are you alright?"
Lin Xinze was startled when he saw them come in: "Why didn't you run away? What are you doing in here?"
The little flower petals said, "We can't abandon you."
“We are afraid of fire, that’s true, but we can protect you for a while.” One of the petal-shaped people spoke, glanced at the little golden tiger, and then said to Lin Xinze, “The little golden tiger can resist this fire. Xiaoze, get on the little golden tiger’s back, and we will protect you and leave from another direction so that we won’t encounter those demons again.”
"I heard birds chirping," Lin Xinze said. "I want to go find the birds."
"A bird?" The people on the flower petals asked in surprise, "With such a big fire, where did the bird's call come from?"
"Yeah, we didn't hear it. Xiaoze, are you sure you heard correctly?"
Lin Xinze shook his head: "No, Xiao Jinhu also said there are small birds in this place."
The little flower petals asked, "So, are you going to find the little bird now?"
"Mm." Lin Xinze nodded.
"Then we'll go with you." After the little petal people finished speaking, they were about to take Lin Xinze onto the little golden tiger's back, but Lin Xinze stopped them: "Wait."
Before the little flower petals could ask why, Lin Xinze continued, "Little Golden Tiger said that as the fire spreads, those demons will definitely leave. We'll go over there after they've gone far away."
Upon hearing this, the little petal people didn't ask any more questions. They all huddled under the little golden tiger's wings and waited for a while. After confirming that there was no sound outside, the little golden tiger signaled that they could leave.
The little petal people immediately surrounded Lin Xinze and carried him onto the back of the little golden tiger. The little golden tiger folded its wings and, to avoid being discovered by the demons, did not fly away from the flames but ran towards the place where the phoenix's cry came from.
Knowing that the little petal people couldn't hold on for long, the little golden tiger used its fastest speed. Before long, the little golden tiger arrived at the place where the phoenix's cry was heard, a mountain cave!
Upon arriving at the destination, Little Golden Tiger was about to go inside, but just as he approached, an even more powerful Phoenix True Flame flew out, forcing Little Golden Tiger to take two steps back.
"Little bird, I heard your voice." With the help of the little flower petal people, Lin Xinze came down and stood at the entrance of the cave, saying, "Can I come in and see you?"
"If we can't, we won't go in."
After Lin Xinze finished speaking, the flames flying out of the cave shrank a little, and at the same time, a clear, cold female voice came out: "Come in."
As the sound faded, the flames parted, revealing a path.
