Douluo's opening with a bird

The next morning, most of the mist that rose in the morning had dissipated. On the invisible treetops, there were many birds singing "chirp", and there were a few scattered birds not far away, less than ten. The little beast is drinking water and playing in the upper reaches of the stream.

What a wonderful picture of peace and tranquility.

If not broken by that sharp cry.

"squeak"

Zhu Zhuqing, who was awakened by the shout, opened his eyes and was dazed for a while.

Where am I?

Lowering her head, her eyes became clear again after seeing Kong Wanqing, who was hugging her and warming each other last night.

But then, she froze on the spot again, and after a while she picked up Kong Wanqing's clothes in confusion: "I remember not changing them, why?"

All the blood stains on the clothes disappeared

Zhu Zhuqing didn't know why, so he checked Kong Wanqing's body.

Then three extremely strange things were discovered.

The first thing is that there is no trace of blood on Kong Wanqing's snow-white robe.

Not only the clothes, but also the blood stains on the white hair were gone.

The second thing was that Kong Wanqing's whole body was covered with a layer of frost.

Logically speaking, it's frozen, so it should feel very cold.

But last night she hugged Kong Wanqing and slept all night, so why didn’t she notice anything?

The most important thing is that I don't feel too cold now.

The last thing was that a cluster of slender and soft feathers grew out on the skin behind Kong Wanqing's ears, as if he were wearing a pair of snow-white feather earrings.

Zhu Zhuqing knew that Kong Wanqing was not a human being, so he was not too surprised to see two extra tufts of ear feathers on his body, but he didn't understand why.

Why didn't these two tufts of ear feathers appear before, but now they suddenly appear again?

Why is Ah Qing's body so cold that it freezes, but he doesn't feel cold at all?

why

There were many reasons why they were piled together, but Zhu Zhuqing couldn't figure out any of them.

While she was distressed, the harsh "squeaking" sound sounded again, interrupting her thoughts.

"What on earth is it? It's so annoying."

Zhu Zhuqing followed the cry and found that it turned out to be a black-maned rat rabbit with half of its body frozen in ice. It was flapping its unfrozen front paws and screaming for help.

ice

Zhu Zhuqing carefully scanned the surrounding environment and discovered that the entire cave interior, including the place where she and Kong Wanqing were sitting, was covered with a layer of ice about an inch thick.

But because the ice layer was too crystal clear, Zhu Zhuqing failed to discover this problem at the same time.

Zhu Zhuqing tilted his head and thought for a while, then reached out to touch the ice on the wall.

It's cold and hard to begin with. The only difference is that the ice layer is smooth and smooth like glass.

Really ice

but

Zhu Zhuqing raised his head and looked at the river beach separated by the creek and the woods not far away bathed in sunshine, and a question mark appeared on his head.

Where does this ice come from?

Why is there ice only in the cave but not outside the cave?

The climate in Xingluo City is spring-like all year round, warm all year round, and there has never been ice or snow.

There seems to be.

Zhu Zhuqing suddenly remembered yesterday's blizzard that almost dyed the sky and the earth white, and the figure in the mid-air that was wrapped in cold current, resembling an immortal but powerful as a god, and the answer suddenly came to his mind.

These ices should be related to Ah Qing.

She wasn't sure, but felt relieved after realizing that she wouldn't feel cold.

It's useless to worry, since she can't figure out what these things are about anyway.

Fortunately, these problems did not prevent her from killing the black-maned rat rabbit trapped in the ice and making it for today's breakfast.

She was so hungry that even if she was given a plate of disgusting vegetable leaves, let alone a black-maned rat rabbit with average meat, she would chew it up immediately.

How could the third young lady of the Zhu family, who has dedicated personnel responsible for her daily necessities, food, clothing, housing and transportation, ever experience such grievances?

Zhu Zhuqing touched his stomach and sighed.

When he left home this time, Zhu Zhuqing did not bring any weapons such as a knife or dagger with him, so he simply summoned his martial spirit and quickly skinned the black-maned rat rabbit with his cat's paw to remove its internal organs, and then washed it in the stream.

After handling it, he took out the flint from the storage soul guide and walked towards the firewood pile piled up last night, preparing to light a fire to roast the black-maned rat rabbit and eat it directly.

But imagination is beautiful, but reality is cruel.

She couldn't light a bonfire.

Of course, it would be strange if she could actually use flint to ignite a pile of wet branches without using the dead leaves to ignite the fire.

Looking hesitantly at the processed black-maned rat rabbit placed on the ice, Zhu Zhuqing swallowed.

What should I do if I can’t light the fire?

Is it possible that Cheng is so hungry?

Or should I go to the forest to find edible fruits?

Zhu Zhuqing thought for a while and immediately gave up the idea.

Even if she is not in danger, if she, a rich girl who doesn't know what to eat, goes out to look for food, she might be poisoned to death.

So

Zhu Zhuqing looked at the black-maned rat rabbit with a complicated expression, cut a small piece, put it in his mouth with his eyes closed.

When Kong Wanqing opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was Zhu Zhuqing retching but still chewing something.

"" Kong Wanqing was stunned for a moment and blinked: "Zhuqing, what are you doing?"

When Zhu Zhuqing heard the voice, he turned around abruptly. Before he could say anything, tears fell down. He quickly spat out the raw meat that he couldn't swallow. He wiped away his tears and said, "Ah Qing, wuwu, you finally woke up. You suddenly woke up." It almost scared me to death when I fainted, woo woo woo."

Kong Wanqing's eyes swept across the ice in the cave, and then stopped on Zhu Zhuqing. He comforted softly: "Didn't I say, I'm fine. Besides, what are you doing?"

Zhu Zhuqing raised the raw meat in his hand and said flatly, "I'm so hungry."

Kong Wanqing glanced at the pyre that smelled particularly smoky, then looked at the rabbit meat in Zhu Zhuqing's hand, and immediately guessed what happened.

This is the first time Zhu Zhuqing has left home in a real sense, and she only has one storage space. No one tells her what she should bring and what she shouldn't bring, so all she brings in her storage soul guide are some oddities. Bits and pieces.

I didn't even think of bringing any food or water with me.

What's more, Zhu Zhuqing was injured while avoiding pursuit yesterday, which consumed a lot of energy and energy.

It's time to get hungry.

Kong Wanqing was silent for a while, stood up without saying anything, walked outside the cave, picked up some small dead branches and leaves, and placed them in front of Zhu Zhuqing.

"To light a flint fire, you need a fire starter, either a small branch or a dry leaf." Kong Wanqing explained to Zhu Zhuqing while lighting the fire: "After the dead leaves are ignited by the flint, you can slowly add branches.

And the most important thing is that the fire starting material cannot be wet with water or fresh branches, which will be difficult to ignite. "

"You can't use wet branches." Zhu Zhuqing looked at the wet branches he piled aside and suddenly realized: "Oh, so that's it."

"Well, of course, if it is a fire-attribute martial soul, there is no need to go to such trouble.

It's just a pity that one of you and I is a beast spirit ghost cat, and the other is an ice-attribute snow phoenix. In terms of attributes, neither of us has anything to do with fire. "

Kong Wanqing smiled and built the fire into the shape of a bonfire while adding branches. Soon, the flames burned steadily: "Okay, you can start roasting the rabbit."

"Yes." Zhu Zhuqing nodded and raised the skewered black-maned rat rabbit to the fire. The flames licked the rabbit meat, making a sizzling sound.

While Zhu Zhuqing was concentrating on grilling meat, Kong Wanqing lowered his head and looked at the ice on the ground, feeling the faint scent of mysterious frost inside.

Finally, as if he thought of something again, he raised his hand and stroked the soft feathers beside his ears, closed his eyes and sighed.

Yesterday, when he was seriously injured, he forcibly communicated with his soul to break away from the seal of the contract, temporarily regaining about [-]% of his strength in his heyday.

Calculating this, it is probably at the peak level of the human soul master and soul emperor in Douluo Continent.

If he hadn't been unable to control himself when opening the seal for the first time, he should have been able to perform at the level of an ordinary Soul Saint.

After all, the tribulation he passed through when he transformed was the Golden Immortal tribulation.

just

Although it feels good to regain strength, the price paid for forcing the seal of contract is also extremely painful.

After being backlashed by the contract seal, all soul power will be lost within a month at least, making him look like an ordinary person. Moreover, if he is forced to open the seal again during the weak period of the backlash, he will not be able to withstand the power released when the seal is opened, and the soul will Broken, body dies and Tao disappears.

Irreversible, irreversible.

During the contract period, the passive nirvana of the Phoenix clan's talent cannot be triggered. Therefore, during the 30 years of the contract, once Kong Wanqing dies, he is completely dead. There is no such thing as nirvana and rebirth.

Compared with this, the transformation defects in the weak stage randomly reveal some of the original characteristics, which is actually a trivial bonus.

The only thing worth celebrating may be that after opening the seal this time, Kong Wanqing can finally use the recovery skill "Xuanshuang Feather" beyond the next level.

In the end, Zhu Zhuqing failed to roast the black-maned rat rabbit or part of it was burnt and the other part was still half-cooked.

But she still managed to finish half of the rabbit with a frown, and handed the other half to Kong Wanqing: "Aqing, you haven't eaten for a long time, please eat some."

Kong Wanqing did not pick it up, but just said: "I don't need to eat."

Zhu Zhuqing was stunned for a moment and asked subconsciously: "Aren't you hungry?"

Kong Wanqing smiled and shook his head: "No, the soul power gained from daily practice can sustain all my consumption, so I won't be hungry."

To explain it in terms of the prehistoric Five Prefectures, this is called "bigu", and it is a necessary skill for every Qi practitioner.

Zhu Zhuqing tilted his head and looked at Kong Wanqing curiously: "Ah Qing, why am I still hungry even though I practice every day?"

Kong Wanqing thought for a while: "This is called "bigu". When you practice longer and your soul power level is higher, you can also learn this skill."

Zhu Zhuqing thought for a while and shook his head: "Yeah, no, no, there are so many delicious things, I'd better wait until I get tired of eating before I learn this."

Kong Wanqing smiled and didn't correct him. After "bigu", he didn't need to eat, not that he couldn't eat.
