Qin Ning's struggle

The news of the discovery of the dungeon was quickly sent back to the command room on the ground.

At that time, Chi Yun was worrying about the three little Suzakus.

After the three furballs woke up, they found that they were not by Qin Ning's side, and their childish screams did not stop for a moment.The phoenix bird that hatched first flapped its wings and jumped up, pecking Chi Yun.

The adult Suzaku became more and more depressed.

Picking up the back of the fur ball, he frowned and said, "It's true to express dissatisfaction, but you are a phoenix, not a pheasant!"

Fan with wings, grab with claws, everything is fine.

What's the matter with pecking?

Unexpectedly, the phoenix bird did not admit its mistake, the two phoenix birds imitated the example, blasted the fluff all over their bodies, pointed their small mouths at Chi Yun, and pecked hard.

Chi Yun asked the sky speechlessly.

The fledglings, which have been hatched for less than three days, naturally cannot hurt him.It's tiring to protect a child who has been born for thousands of years with this attitude after hatching.

Bai Jue turned on the communicator, received the message from Li Yan, thought for two seconds, and asked, "I found underground ruins, do you want to continue digging?"

Is it dangerous if digging?

Chi Yun raised his head, pressed the fur ball with both hands, and said, "Let them be careful, those trees are all over the city, and they probably haven't died."

"What kind of plant is it that has such strong vitality?" Qin Ning asked curiously while holding the green luan egg.

"An ancient tree."

Chi Yun picked up three fur balls and placed them next to Qin Ning one by one.He handed out three crystal boxes.

Two seconds later, the childish cry stopped.

Little Suzaku sat next to Qin Ning, quickly pecking at the meat of the exotic beast.

One day and nineteen hours after birth, their food intake increases along with their body weight.Recipes have changed, and dragon scales and shellfish are no longer sufficient.

"This piece of wood is taken from the root of the tree."

Looking at the isolation bottle lying in the palm of her hand, Qin Ning couldn't help but look solemn.

"When the dungeon was completed, a vassal group sent mahogany, saying that it was a rare species discovered in the outer space."

Chi Yun took out the recorder and unfolded the blue light screen.

Across the long river of history, a long-ago picture appeared in front of Qin Ning.

Red city, red trees.

The phoenix flying in the sky is like a burning fire.

Amidst the chirping sound, the phoenix feathers shone with golden light, its wings stretched out, and its dancing posture was beautiful.Viewers can also feel the joy in it.

"This is mahogany."

Locking on the corner of the screen, Chiyun points out an ancient tree that is red all over, with a canopy like an umbrella and faintly glowing leaves.

It must be admitted that this tree is beautiful.

The trunk is straight, and the branches and leaves are carved like gems.At first glance, it looks like a work of art.

"The bark is fiery red, and the heart and roots are black."

Turning off the recorder, Chi Yun leaned over and brushed his fingers over the heads of the three little Suzakus, which elicited a burst of chirping.

"It is also the bane of genocide."

The room fell into a brief silence.

Qin Ning was thinking about how to speak, when the green luan egg in his arms suddenly began to shake.

The three little Suzakus stopped eating, raised their heads, and stared at the eggshells without blinking.

After about five seconds, the shaking stopped.

The cyan totem covers the surface of the eggshell, emitting a little shimmer.

The familiar aggressive sound sounded, Qin Ning immediately lowered his head, and put his ears on the eggshell, the voice became clearer.

Once, twice, and then speed up.

Unlike Suzaku when it came out of its shell, Qingluan didn't peck open the top, but exerted force in the center of the eggshell.

Of course, there is another possibility. The chick rolled around a few times, lying in the wrong position, and was too lazy to adjust its posture, so it simply pecked on the spot to save time.

In the crisp sound, the eggshell shook more violently.

Qin Ning didn't want to let go, but he couldn't hold her at all.

After holding on for half a minute, the blue and white green luan egg rolled onto the bed, lying between the Suzakus.

"Hey——"

Little Suzaku flapped its wings twice, surrounded the eggshell, and pecked from the outside.

Qin Ning was startled, and was about to reach out to stop him, not wanting to be held down by Bai Jue.

"No problem."

all right?

How could it be all right? !

"Qingluan and Suzaku are connected by blood, so there will be no problem."

Qin Ning was dubious and looked at Chi Yun, who actually nodded to him.

"In ancient times, Suzaku and Qingluan intermarried frequently, and the chicks were often raised together. Compared with the other four clans, Qingluan's eggshells are extremely thick, and it is the most difficult to hatch, and often requires external help."

"Really?"

Qin Ning has only heard that the chicks cannot be disturbed by external forces when they hatch.Otherwise, it is likely to cause unpredictable consequences.Phoenix did the opposite, which is really incredible.

"real."

Chi Yun was relaxed.Seeing that the phoenix pecked twice and retreated to the side, Liu Fengniao continued to work hard, immediately raised the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile: "There is a phoenix in the shell."

How to judge this?

Qin Ning blinked, feeling more and more lack of knowledge and experience.

With the joint efforts of the inside and outside of the shell, several cracks finally appeared on the eggshell.

Seeing the results, Little Suzaku became more motivated.

Half a minute later, with a click, Qingluan's egg split open from the middle.

The gap was jagged and bigger and bigger, and the little Suzaku immediately backed away with fluttering wings.

Click!

There was another crisp sound, the upper half of the eggshell was completely pushed up, and the fluffy blue chick appeared, opened its wings and uttered its first crisp cry.

Qin Ning was stunned for two seconds, and gestured with his hand, and found that the newly hatched Qingluan was not small, comparable to the largest Suzaku.

"How is this going?"

"Qingluan likes to do physical work, such as digging underground palaces and mining mines." Bai Jue leaned against the head of the bed, twisting a lock of black hair with his fingers, and explained, "So, among the five phoenixes, Qingluan is the tallest."

Eggshells are thicker because they are born bigger and need more nutrition?

After listening to Bai Jue's explanation, Qin Ning lowered his body and looked straight at Qingluan who had just hatched.The latter, like little Suzaku, is familiar with Qin Ning's aura and has an instinctive dependence on him.

"Hey!"

The immature cry seemed to be acting like a baby.

The little blue head rubbed against Qin Ning's wrist, and the little wings hugged Qin Ning's wrist. The big round eyes were indescribably cute.

Qin Ning picked up an eggshell and handed it to Qingluan's mouth.

There was a clicking sound, Qingluan was no less ferocious than Suzaku when eating.

Putting the little phoenix aside, Qin Ning turned his attention to another egg.According to Bai Jue, this totem is darker in color, and nine out of ten it is a phoenix bird.

After waiting for a full hour, Qingluan ate the whole eggshell, three dragon scales, and half a box of seashells. The inside of the eggshell was always quiet without any sound.

Qin Ning frowned.

Shouldn't there be a problem?

After all, these two green luan eggs are not guarded by adult birds, and they are left in the storage container for a long time, so there is no guarantee that there will be no mistakes.

The more he thought about it, the more worried he became. Qin Ning picked up the egg immediately, looked left, right, up and down, to make sure that the totem was all right, and even shook it slightly.

After a lot of tossing, there was still no reaction inside the eggshell.

Qin Ning was even more worried.

"Is there anything wrong?"

Bai Jue had just finished communicating with Li Yan, sent him the information about the mahogany, and ordered to continue excavating the ruins, and the personnel should pay attention to safety.Hearing Qin Ning's worry, he patted the top of his hair and said, "It will be fine."

As long as the totem does not disappear, the chicks inside will be safe and sound. "

"But there is no sound at all, how can I explain it?"

Also covered with totems, it's time to come out of the shell.One hatched successfully, full of energy and appetite.The other one didn't move at all, is this normal?

"This……"

Bai Jue hesitated slightly, and looked at Chi Yun.The latter also held his chin, with a puzzled expression on his face.

"Shouldn't be."

Three people, six eyes, all stared at Qingluan's egg, and even knocked with their hands.

Putting the ears on, the chicks inside were still silent, not responding at all.

Now, even the two adult phoenix birds began to worry.

"Hey!"

After eating and drinking enough, Qingluan, who was about to fall asleep, stood up suddenly, ran over with flapping wings, and pecked hard at the surface of the eggshell.

The bright yellow mouth is sharp beyond imagination.

One, two, three.

The eggshell was pecked out, and Little Qingluan blew twice, flapping its wings vigorously, slapping on the eggshell in turn, making crackling noises.

Regarding Qingluan's great strength, it was confirmed on the spot.

"噍-噍-噍-"

After hearing the baby bird's cry, three black lines slid down Qin Ning's forehead.

Little Qingluan didn't care so much at all, continued to peck after pecking, pecked twice and continued to peck.Another phoenix came forward to help, and the chick duo officially started.

"Hey!" Come out!

"噍——噍!" Knowing that you are inside, don't make a sound, come out for me!

"Hey——" I'm so lazy, believe it or not, I ate all your eggshells?

"Hey!" Come out!

"噍噍噍噍!" If you have the ability to pretend to be asleep, if you have the ability, you come out!

"噍噍!" If you don't come out again, don't come out!

The phoenix bird was obviously very angry, and they pushed the egg shell down with all their strength. With one wing and one kick, you actually wanted to push the Suzaku egg under the bed.

Once broken, it will come out naturally!

Seeing that the situation was not good, Qin Ning rushed forward and picked up Qingluan's egg.By the way, to appease the two phoenix birds, no matter what, the eggs cannot be broken.

"Hey——"

Two little phoenixes leaned forward and pecked Qin Ning's fingers friendly.Immediately, it rolled into a fur ball, leaning against Qin Ning and slowly falling asleep.

Huang Niao stood at the foot of the bed, thinking that she had made Qin Ning unhappy, her wings drooped, and she was very listless.

"come on."

With a smile in his voice, Qin Ning patted his legs.

The little phoenix immediately came alive, rushed over quickly, and took a favorable position.

The black light wings spread out, imitating Chiyun, wrapping several chicks.As a result, Bai Jue only left for a few minutes, and when he came back, there was no place for him at the head of the bed.

For the first time in its life, a certain swan finds a bird that has just hatched displeasing to the eye, very displeasing to the eye.

"Shh."

Qin Ning put up a finger and gently pressed it against his lips.

"They just fell asleep."

Bai Jue didn't say anything, he put the tray by the bed, cut open the fragrant roast meat, and handed it to Qin Ning's mouth.

The barbecue is slightly spicy, and the heat is just right, which is the taste that the scorpion likes.

"Eat more." The fingertips brushed the corner of Qin Ning's mouth, brought it to his lips, and licked it very naturally.

Qin Ning didn't pay attention, it can be said that he got used to it.Keep opening your mouth, waiting to be fed.

Seeing this scene, Chi Yun wanted to cough again.

He was getting more and more worried.

This swan is far more treacherous and cunning than imagined, with a darker belly.

After feeding, Qin Ning yawned.

Putting away the tray, looking at the four sleeping little phoenixes, Bai Jue endured for a while, but finally couldn't hold back, grabbed them one by one, and stuffed them to Chi Yun.

"If Qingluan can emerge from its shell tonight, it will take three days at most to lose its original form."

Chiyun took the chick and protected it under his wings.

"At that time, you can go to the dungeon to have a look."

Bai Jue nodded.

A few days is enough for detectors to scour the mahogany for signs of life.

"Are you taking them out?"

Hearing Chi Yun's words, Qin Ning forcefully opened his eyes, and patted his cheek hard to dispel sleepiness.

"There are a lot of documents in the dungeon, and there are places for the young birds to learn." Chi Yun patiently explained, "According to the tradition, three days after the phoenix hatches, they have to go inside to study, without any exception."

"Can……"

"I know it's different now."

Raising his hand to stop Qin Ning's words, Chi Yun disapproved all over his face.

"As far as I know, the current education method is not suitable for Phoenix. You should have a deep experience in the so-called school."

In terms of physical strength, intelligence, and combat effectiveness, the Phoenix is ​​far superior to other feather tribes.A one-year-old phoenix chick can defeat an adult falcon alone.

Under such circumstances, it is unfair to study in one place.

This is true for Phoenix, and it is also true for other feather clans.

"In ancient times, the education of the Yu clan was very distinctive, completely different from what it is now." Chi Yun continued.

"At that time, although the Yu clan was powerful, their hunting targets were equally fierce."

"Girl-necked dragons, black armored dragons, and megalodons are all more than [-] meters long, and they are all carnivorous races."

"Adults of the Yu family regard the dragon family as prey. The eggs of the Yu family and the chicks that have just hatched are also the targets of the opponent. If you are not careful, you may be attacked and you will pay a heavy price."

Seeing that Qin Ning was engrossed in listening, Chi Yun didn't mind saying more.

Even if the environment is different, the chicks should be made aware of what kind of history the blue field has had.

"The biological race at that time was completely different from what it is today."

"What's the difference?" Qin Ning asked while holding Qingluan's egg, "Is it the shape?"

"This is one aspect. To be precise, it is a habit." Chi Yun said seriously.

"Habits?"

"Maybe you can't imagine it, but the hosts you know, including mammoths and unicorns, were all omnivores at the time."

Omnivore?

Qin Ning was stunned for a moment.

That is, the combination of meat and vegetables?

"It's unimaginable, right?" Chi Yun smiled.

"The evolution of life is to better adapt to the environment. In the early days of the ancient times, for a period of time, the seven domains lived together. The competition for resources was fierce, and each race was both a predator and a prey."

Regardless of the Zerg, Orc, Feather and Snake tribes, the Proboscis and Cloven-hoofed tribes can all eat meat, but the recipe ratio is different.

In this case, except for fish in the water, pure herbivores hardly exist.

"With the division of the seven domains, each ethnic group opened up new planets one after another, and their habits gradually began to change."

The extinction of the Dragon Clan was due to the factors of the Yu Clan and the Orc Clan, and also because of their lack of progress.

Relying on his huge body and strong attack power, he scoffed at the development of starship technology.Later, it was discovered that the majority of ethnic groups started a new life, but they were left standing still, gradually abandoned by the environment, and reduced to dust in history.

"In the time I lived, the Dragon Clan had already faced up to the flaws and began to try to change. However, judging from the results, it was all useless efforts."

Having said that, Chi Yun sighed deeply.

In the ancient times, only the dragon clan could rival the phoenix.

He once thought that if the Phoenix encountered a strong enemy, the most likely one would be the Dragon Clan.Who would have thought that these powerful ancient ethnic groups were extinct before the phoenix, and did not even leave too many traces.

After talking about the Dragon Clan, the topic returns to the genocide disaster of that year.

"The change was too sudden, without preparation in advance, the elders of the clan were caught off guard." Referring to the destruction of the dungeon, Chi Yun's voice dropped.

"Which ethnic group was it that sent the mahogany back then?" Qin Ning asked.

"The ape-eating eagle and the moa." Chi Yun leaned against the stone bed and squeezed his forehead with one hand.

"Moa?"

Qin Ning suddenly raised his head and looked at Bai Jue in astonishment.

Didn't it mean that the Earth Feather Clan was not to be seen, how could they become Phoenix's vassals?

"It's nothing strange." Bai Jue smiled, "In ancient times, Phoenix was the ruler of the Blue Domain, and most of the Yu clan were vassals."

Among them, of course, is the Earth Feather Clan.

"Then, these two clans are black hands?"

It's that simple?

Qin Ning was a little confused.

I thought that the black eagle was behind the scenes, and the moa was just a thug.Looking at it now, things seem to be reversed?

"Not necessarily." Chi Yun smiled strangely, "After going to the ruins, maybe we can find out the answer."

Qin Ning wanted to ask again, but suddenly there was a soft sound from the eggshell in his arms.

Before he could react, the sleeping Qingluan seemed to sense it, opened his eyes suddenly, and was about to rush over.

The three Suzakus were woken up one after another, and found that they were sleeping on the stone bed again, and the previous scene was repeated.

After a few seconds of stalemate, Chi Yun conceded defeat.

The four chicks returned to Qin Ning's side, and the little phoenix lay obediently on its stomach, nodding its head one after another.

The little phoenix was full of energy, jumped up, and started pecking at the eggshell again.

Finally, the eggshell shattered, and a cyan chick slowly stood up from the shell, flapped its wings, and let out a cry.

In the center of the city, at the bottom of the giant pit.

The number of detectors increased to a hundred, and the rock formations dug became wider and wider.The soil and rocks piled up, almost higher than the edge of the pit.

The brighter the light, the fiery red building quietly sleeps underground, and I don't know how many years have passed.

According to the pictures sent back by the detector, Li Yan deduced that this place might be a residential area.

Continuing to dig down, the wide street crosses several rows of houses, and a dry fountain stands at the junction.

On both sides of the road, tall ancient trees were cut off from the bottom and fell in all directions.Occasionally, there were several deep pits, and it was obvious that some trees had been uprooted, but there were no broken branches and leaves nearby.

"Keep digging."

Standing in front of the console with hands behind her back, staring at the strange deep pit, thinking of the mahogany mentioned by Bai Jue, Li Yan slowly narrowed her eyes.

Hearing the news, Emperor Yu wanted to come in person, but got stuck by something.The councilor sent someone to inquire, but Li Yan stopped them all.

Black Eagle woke up briefly, and learned from Gray Eagle that "The Buteo is digging a dungeon", rolled his eyes, and immediately passed out again.
