In the Blade

The belief in the immortal phoenix and the persistence in becoming an immortal can almost be said to be engraved in the bones of the Chu people.

All Chu people, even children who are no taller than a wheel, have dreams of becoming immortals. Having listened to those myths and legends since they were young, they almost want to shed their mortal bodies and become omnipotent immortals who can move mountains and seas. But Fengniao’s In their opinion, this posture is undoubtedly the most perfect immortal posture. This immortal form is simply what they dream of.

Just like the gray and black fire phoenix, even if one of its legs is torn off, a new leg will instantly condense out, making its body shape intact again.

Just like what the gray and black fire phoenix has always said.

“Thoughts cannot be killed!”

The gray-black fire phoenix was even proud of it for a time.

"Yes, yes! This is what I want!"

The bronze yue saber flew over, and the sharp blade cut through the body of the gray-black fire phoenix again, bringing down one of its legs.

This made the gray and black fire phoenix even more panicked.

The knife just now could have cut it open. The gray-black fire phoenix could be sure that it couldn't dodge at that ghostly speed - but the bronze yue knife didn't mean to kill it at all, it just cut it. It had one leg and even slowed down while chewing.

This is giving it a chance and time to regroup and grow another leg.

This is treating this living immortal as food.

"How...possible?"

Things have developed to this point, no matter how slow the gray-black fire phoenix is, he has already seen the problem at this moment.

Another leg was torn off, but the gray-black fire phoenix was already a little sluggish at this moment. At this critical moment, it suddenly remembered the story that had been circulated in Dachu about the immortal and immortal phoenix. legend.

As we all know, the belief in the immortal phoenix and the pursuit of becoming an immortal are something that is engraved in the bones of almost all Chu people.

But now, the gray-black fire phoenix suddenly realized another problem.

That is, where did this belief and pursuit, this myth and legend that almost everyone knows, come from?

It seems that no one has ever thought about this problem. Everyone thinks that as long as they become immortals, they can roam freely between heaven and earth. The immortal fire phoenix is ​​the most perfect form and the ultimate posture that Chu people dream of - although Chu People themselves feel that they cannot reach that point, so they often just want to become feathers themselves and follow the phoenix bird. But just like it is now, whenever there is a chance, who doesn't want to become the most perfect and become the perfect person even if he encounters death? What about the immortal fire phoenix that can rise from the ashes despite calamity?

But now, it has become immortal and immortal, but it doesn't feel that it has any qualifications to be called a fire phoenix.

Facing the weird, ugly, and even somewhat funny bronze yue knife, it just looked like a roast chicken being served to the table.

Even the bronze yue knife itself felt the same way.

"Can you put down the fire a little bit?"

While chewing the legs cut off from the gray and black fire phoenix, the bronze yue saber also made demands.

"It's too grilled, I like to eat it a little tender."

"..."

The gray-black fire phoenix was silent for a moment.

Then, he turned around and ran away.

It didn't know where it was going. At this moment, it had lost its ideals and desires.

Something indestructible collapsed in its heart.

Those perseverance to ascend to immortality, that undying belief, its constant dedication, and even the consciousness of risking one's life.

All of this is just a joke at the moment.

It had also thought about the cause of its own death. It was already immortal and did not know whether it would die of old age, but perhaps it would be caught up and hacked to death by Du Chengfeng, or perhaps it would commit suicide because of some dangerous attempt - die in a In a vigorous battle, or dying in the study and exploration of knowledge, only then can it be worthy of its status as a living immortal, and worthy of its continuous efforts.

But it never thought that it would be eaten to death by such an inexplicable thing.

No, it's not even death, it's just eating. This is undoubtedly a crueler ending than death, and it doesn't want to fall to this point anyway.

So run, wherever you go.

As long as you can avoid being eaten, as long as you can avoid being eaten...

"Escaped!"

The gray-black fire phoenix, which had burrowed into the thick soil, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Yes, it should have thought of it a long time ago. If the bronze yue knife is really omnipotent, how could it be trapped underground for so long?

It is the strongest when it is invisible and formless! It is the real reality of living...

"Buzz——"

Just when the gray-black fire phoenix thought it had escaped, it suddenly heard a harsh digging sound.

And the source of that voice...

"run!"

Seeing that an illusory hand had penetrated the soil and stretched towards its legs, the gray-black fire phoenix quickly continued to flee.

Fortunately, the bunker left by the Chu people was strong enough, and it would take some time for the bronze yoke to dig through it - and the time difference brought by this was enough for it to escape to the surface.

No more, no more anything, whether it's the magic weapon left by the Chu people or the way to defeat Du Chengfeng... At worst, it can just hide and walk away. The world is so big that it can't go anywhere. If it can just find a place to hide for decades, can Du Chengfeng really be able to chase it for decades?

No, absolutely not. When it was hiding on the Overlord Halberd, it had also spied on Du Chengfeng's style of doing things. With that kind of style of thinking about something every now and then, it probably wouldn't have to wait for decades. It could even hide for half a month. If Du Chengfeng couldn't find it, he would go about his own business.

It was still confident about hiding. After all, as a remnant of the Chu people, it had already relied on this excellent hiding skill to avoid countless pursuits.

As long as it was hidden, how could Du Chengfeng...

"Boom--"

Just as the gray-black fire phoenix was bravely shuttling, it suddenly heard a loud noise.

Then, the sky was bright.

The warm sunlight sprinkled on its body, which made it feel as if it was in another world.

But immediately, the huge shadow cast by the strong body made it feel scared.

"You... why are you here!"

Looking at the familiar figure in front of it with its back to the sun, the gray-black fire phoenix even trembled in its voice.

"Du Chengfeng! How come you are here!"

"Brother Du said he doesn't want the things inside!"

At the edge of the pit blasted by Du Chengfeng, Li Jiadalang, who was originally left on the ground to buy time, also poked his head out.

"Brother Du said! He doesn't need the things inside! But he is still willing to help us dig the ground! Come up quickly! With Brother Du's help, we will be able to dig out the things underground in a while!"

"..."

Looking at Li Jiadalang, who was originally expected by it, and then looking at Du Chengfeng beside Li Jiadalang, the gray-black fire phoenix was speechless for a long time.

At this moment, it wanted to retreat back to the bunker. Although the bronze axe was also extremely fierce, it would at least not kill it.

But just when the gray-black fire phoenix lowered its head, it suddenly found that it seemed that it could not go back.

Just because, in the big hole under the bottom of the pit, the bronze axe that was just blocked underground had already flown all the way up.

I was supposed to update last night, but I couldn't help but watch the Dota2 Asian Games finals. I was so excited that I almost thought I was going to lose when I saw the gold medal. Fortunately, I won in the end. It was full of ups and downs. When I received the gold medal, that scene was a perfect ending for those players and even for a cloud fan like me who has watched the game for many years.

Of course, after watching the game, I still have to work. The excitement has calmed down. This rest time is enough. It's time to update.

In addition: Thank you for your recommendation votes and monthly tickets. Thank you for your encouragement and support.

Thank you to the book friend 120***355 for the reward. It's really a waste of money.

I took a break for two days, which is really unworthy. I will see how much I can write, which can be regarded as a make-up update.
