Qin Ning's struggle

Under the sea, the Qingshi Road stretches forward continuously, as if there is no end.

The pillars made of red coral gradually disappeared, turning into blue-black square stone pillars.The patterns and totems on it changed accordingly, and many fancy elements were lost, the color gradually darkened, the lines were rough, and it looked more solemn and simple.

Along the way, Qin Ning observed the surrounding environment carefully and counted silently in his heart.

After passing the No.60 six pairs of stone pillars, the stone road is suddenly cut off, and a circular stone gate stands in front of it.

The stone gate is carved from a whole piece of granite, the center is hollowed out, and the edges are carefully polished to be as smooth as jade.It is engraved with the totems of the Yu clan in different colors and shapes.

Between the totems, round and prismatic gemstones are inlaid.Arranged according to certain rules, forming a pattern of its own.

After a long period of time, the color of the totem is still bright and looks like new.

"This is not the Phoenix Totem."

Chi Xin was very curious and leaned forward to observe.

It was quickly discovered that more than [-]% of the totems were very strange, and only a few could be identified.

"This is a hawk, and this is a golden one."

"This pattern represents a black eagle?"

"No, it's bigger than the Black Eagle Totem, more like a giant eagle."

"This is the Hu family."

"Diaohu, Xuehu, this one seems to be laughing, it's Xiaohu."

"Look, there are Falcons."

"The colors are beautiful."

Five little phoenixes gathered in front of the stone gate, carefully identifying the race represented by the totem.He quickly came to the conclusion that nine out of ten of these Yu tribes were the vassal tribes of the Phoenix.

"The arrangement of gemstones represents protection."

"If you don't know those, I'm afraid they are already extinct."

Qingxi made a conclusion.

Surprisingly, Chi Xin didn't say anything to refute.

The two little phoenixes are always facing each other tit for tat, as if there is no place for two birds.

Such "peaceful" times are rare.

The three little phoenix birds looked at each other, unable to conceal the surprise on their expressions.

Qing Xi frowned, and immediately said angrily: "What does this expression mean?"

Chi Xin also looked unhappy, she clenched her fists and her knuckles creaked.Obviously expressing: What are you looking at, do you want to be beaten?

Of course not!

The little phoenix shrank its neck.

The strength of the phoenix is ​​strong, but these two phoenix birds are beyond common sense, so powerful that they are unbelievable.

Is it to absorb more bioenergy?

Otherwise, why do you always beat yourself up?

When the little phoenixes were arguing, Qin Ning carefully observed around Shimen.

The totem is only second, and the seemingly invisible power on the door makes him even more worried.

His mind was shaken, which proved that there must be something attracting him behind the door.But reason sounded the alarm, telling him not to act rashly.

The phoenix built here is quite wicked, and basically does not play cards according to common sense.Suppose there is another "trap" behind the door, similar to a lightning strike, you must be prepared before it passes.

"Qin Ning, what are you thinking, did you find something wrong?"

Chi Jiao was the one who asked.

Among the little phoenixes, he clings to Qin Ning the most.Compared with his companions, his personality is more delicate, and he is often more serious when things happen.

"Can you feel it?"

Qin Ning signaled Chijiao to step forward, covering the door frame with his palm.

"There is a strange power."

For a moment, Chi Jiao frowned slightly.After confirming that it was not an illusion, he immediately turned his head and said to his companion: "Come here, something is wrong with this Shimen!"

Hearing this, the four chicks immediately stopped "quarreling".

"What's wrong?"

"Go and have a look."

The two phoenix birds stepped forward first, imitating Chi Jiao's appearance, covering the stone door with one hand, feeling the surging power.

"indeed."

"what is this?"

Qing Xi poked the center of the Shimen curiously.

The rock was hollowed out, and the center seemed to be transparent, but there was actually a barrier.When the fingertip touched it, it was immediately bounced back.With a little force, the surface of the barrier actually had ripples.

"What exactly is this?"

The five little phoenixes got together, as if they found interesting toys, and tried them one by one.

"I failed, and neither did Chi Xin, which proves that it's not because of the ethnic group."

"Like a protective barrier?"

"Somewhat similar, but not exactly the same."

The little phoenixes embraced their arms and began to think hard.Halfway through the stone pillar, try to go around the door.

It's a pity that once you leave Qingshi Road and walk beyond the stone pillars, you will immediately encounter rapids.Not to mention bypassing the stone gate and discovering its secrets, he was almost swept away and couldn't come back.

"I can't wear it, and I can't get around it. What should I do?"

If you want to move forward, you must pass through the stone gate.

Under the current circumstances, this task is difficult to complete.

Little Phoenix puffed up her cheeks, and they all faced Shimen for luck.

Qin Ning didn't speak, and stepped forward, gently touching the barrier on the door.After thinking for a while, he let Little Phoenix step back, cut open his fingertips, and covered the center of the stone gate.

The moment the blood drops dripped, Shimen suddenly resonated.

The transparent barrier condensed a real image, which turned out to be a phoenix about to fly!

The blood beads are drawn into thin lines, dyeing the edges of the pattern red.The white light and shadow are slightly reddish, as if they have life.

Subtle changes occurred around the stone gate.

The sand and stones drifted away like fog, and the stone gate opened and turned.

The gemstones are shining brightly, the totems are becoming more and more vivid, and they all shine together.The head of the bird faces the center of the light, as if worshiping a phoenix with fluttering wings, solemn and solemn.

A hundred birds chasing the phoenix?

For some reason, these four words suddenly appeared in Qin Ning's heart.

The wound healed quickly, but the palm could not be removed from the light.

When the light and shadow change, the fingers sink into it, and then the wrist and forearm.The whole person was fixed in front of the door, unable to break free at all.

When the little phoenixes discovered the situation, they rushed forward immediately.Pull one by one, no matter what, they cannot be separated from Qin Ning.

"Hurry up!"

Half of his body was immersed in the light, feeling the pulling force from behind the door, Qin Ning only had time to turn his head and say the above three words before he was dragged into the light and disappeared.

"Qin Ning!"

Little Fenghuang gritted her teeth, keeping in mind Qin Ning's advice, and never let go, disappearing in front of the door one after another.

The last little phoenix passed through the stone gate, the light and shadow suddenly dimmed, the gemstones on the gate no longer glowed, the totem was no longer alive, and turned into ancient stone carvings again.

The barrier became transparent, and the stone gate stopped turning.

The sand and mist drifted away, and the surroundings returned to silence. Everything seemed to have never happened.

Passing through the stone gate, Qin Ning and the five little phoenixes were immediately sucked into the whirlpool.

As if entering a time tunnel, countless lights and shadows flashed around, too fast to capture.It can only be vaguely recognized that it is a series of tragic battles, and after the war, hundreds of millions of years of peace.

"Hold on tight, don't let go!"

Bound by the terrifying suction force, forced to move forward, spreading the wings of light is of no avail.

The six of them could only hold hands, hold each other as much as possible, and fly to the depths of the vortex together.

Little Phoenix experienced this scene for the first time, although he was a little scared, he was still mostly curious and excited.

Qin Ning was worried, and firmly grasped the two little phoenixes with both hands.Seeing the other party's face full of excitement, he was really speechless.

Such a big heart, should it be said to be an advantage?

After an unknown amount of time, the six of them finally approached the end of the tunnel.

The suction suddenly intensified, and the flashing frequency of light and shadow increased several times.

The gust of wind swept across, this feeling of being pulled hard and moving forward against the wind was both suffocating and extremely uncomfortable.Not to mention the five little phoenixes, Qin Ning wanted to show the middle finger to an old phoenix.

How can he still happily inherit and learn when he has pitted his descendants to such an extent!

The wind was so strong that I couldn't speak at all.

The only thing Qin Ning could do was to turn around and hug the little phoenix, spreading his wings as much as possible to protect them from the strong wind.

The black light wings were torn by the wind, and the little phoenixes bit their cheeks, not wanting to be protected by Qin Ning, but trying to help.But every time he unfolded the light wings, Qin Ning would push them back.

Can't speak, can stare.

Be honest, don't make a fuss!

His dark eyes swept over, recalling the experience of being grabbed by his ankle, Xiao Fenghuang immediately became quiet and accepted protection obediently.

The moment they passed through the end of the tunnel, the wind reached its strongest.

Qin Ning could barely hold on.

This feeling is really bad.

It's like there is an alloy plate in front of you, but you have to hit it upwards, and you have to go through it.

"Don't let go!"

So far, there is no way out.

Qin Ning ground his back molars, closed his eyes, let the strong wind tear him apart, and rushed forward suddenly with the help of suction.

After rushing out of the tunnel, the gust of wind suddenly disappeared.

One second was like being in hell, but the next second was like being in heaven.

Under the action of inertia, several people flew forward for a considerable distance before barely stabilizing their figures.

After going through this test, both Qin Ning and the six little phoenixes were exhausted.

They found that there was a sea of ​​flowers below them, and they fell to the ground one after another, spreading their limbs, panting heavily.

"Don't do it again..."

The feeling of surviving after a catastrophe is really indescribable, and a little sense of accomplishment is quickly replaced by exhaustion.

Putting one hand on her forehead, Qin Ning closed her eyes.When breathing, it feels like a sharp knife is scraping through the throat, and the ear drums are buzzing.

Don't want to move, don't want to move.

Before entering the Qingluan historic site and exploring the bottom of the volcano, there was always a white scorpion by my side.When encountering difficulties, turn around and rely on them.

Now, as Chi Yun said, everything depends on himself.

Although it feels novel, it is serious when encountering danger.

"Sure enough, everything needs to be compared."

With a grunt, Qin Ning sat up, squeezed his shoulders, and shook his arms a few times.

Looking sideways over his shoulder, the light wings are still intact.

If it is real wings, it is hard to guarantee that they will not be bald when encountering such a strong wind.

The little phoenixes recovered faster.

In the tunnel, they were protected by Qin Ning, and they rarely faced strong winds.

Seeing Qin Ning pinching his shoulders and frowning, two Qing Luan stepped forward, one left and one right, hugging the black light wings respectively.

"how?"

Qin Ning raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Little Qingluan didn't speak, and concentrated her attention. The blue light flowed out along her fingertips, and was drawn into several thin threads, wrapping around Qin Ning's half body.

The blue light flowed through, the fatigue and soreness were swept away, and the full strength flooded all the limbs and bones.

"This is Qingluan's ability." Qingyu explained.

"Before the ancient times, the five Phoenix clans had not yet differentiated, and they all had similar abilities to a greater or lesser extent. Later, as the five clans evolved, they gradually focused on certain abilities, while other aspects degenerated."

"Qingluan likes mining, and prefers to build underground cities. This ability to quickly relieve fatigue and help restore physical strength is very important."

"It's amazing." Chi Chen leaned over, looked at it for a while, and said regretfully, "Unfortunately, I can't."

"This is the memory I got on the island after entering the land of inheritance." Qing Yan nodded her forehead and raised her eyebrows at Chi Chen.It's like saying, everyone was struck by lightning, don't say you didn't accept the inheritance.

"Yes, there is." Chi Chen scratched the red hair, "Does breathing fire count?"

"Fire-breathing?"

Qin Ning turned around in astonishment.

To prove the truth of what he said, Chi Chen opened his mouth, and sure enough, he spit out a fireball.

The fireball is orange in color, about the size of a walnut, with a flashing blue light in the center.At first glance, it looks like lightning wrapped in flames.

"Is this ability not bad?" Chi Xin stepped forward, proudly raising his chin, "From now on, if you are hungry, you can grab any strange beast and roast it!"

Qin Ning: "..."

With the high-end atmosphere of Phoenix, it is really unimaginable to have fire-breathing barbecue or something.

Combined with Chiyun's various performances, it is not impossible.

Just imagine, a certain Suzaku with bright feathers, all kinds of cool, handsome and domineering, soars in mid-air, and when the audience admires it, it suddenly swoops down, grabs a strange beast, cleans it up in twos and threes, and spits out fireballs. After baking, eat it... The picture is so beautiful that I can't bear to look at it.

With Qingluan's help, Qin Ning quickly regained his strength.

After a short rest, the six of them flew into the air, overlooking the sea of ​​flowers, trying to find a way out.

The sea of ​​flowers is much bigger than imagined.

All kinds of unknown flowers are blooming, colorful and fragrant.

There are neither bees collecting honey nor butterflies dancing among the flowers.At first glance, it is very beautiful, but when you look closely, it is faintly weird.

"Look there!"

Chi Xin stretched her wings, stopped in mid-air, and pointed to the west side of the sea of ​​flowers.

Several hills rise abruptly, covered with black stones, without even a single plant, in stark contrast to the bright purples and reds.

"Go and have a look."

Qin Ning flew out first, and the five little phoenixes quickly followed.

"You stay here." Qin Ning pointed to the sky.

"Okay." Little Phoenix nodded.

Then, Qin Ning continued to fly, and Little Phoenix continued to follow.

Qin Ning stopped, with a serious expression, frowned and pointed again, while Xiao Fenghuang continued to nod.When he turns around, follow him correctly.

There is really no way, Qin can only compromise.

The six of them flew to the hill, and when they saw the scattered hills, Qin Ning's eyebrows jumped suddenly.

Where is this black rock, it is clearly an energy ore!And it is the top-level ore, comparable to the energy mine in the shell!

"Why are there so many ores?"

Not sure if it was dangerous, Qin Ning wanted Xiao Fenghuang to back off.

Unexpectedly, when he turned his head, he found that there was nothing behind him, only air left.Looking around, five little phoenixes flew up the hill early, holding maces, and began to beat.

"What are you doing?" Qin Ning was stunned.

"This is an energy mine!"

"so?"

"It's all money!" Chi Xin's eyes lit up, and he said while waving a mace, "Knock a few yuan and take it away, and the strange beast you get in exchange can be eaten for at least ten years!"

Qin Ning: "..."

After entering the minaret, is this the first time I have nothing to say?

Covering his face silently, he refused to think about it.

The piecemeal beating obviously couldn't satisfy Little Phoenix's needs.

"Stand back, let me do it!"

Qing Xi flew to the top of the mountain, carrying the mace on her shoulders, and waved her hands to make the three Suzakus back.At the same time pointing to Qing Yan, said: "Come and help!"

The skill of mining ore is engraved in Qingluan's bones.The cooperation of two people is far more efficient than the random knocking of five people.

Chi Xin didn't argue, and pulled the two little phoenixes away.

Qin Ning wanted to speak out and remind Qingluan to be careful.The two little phoenixes didn't even have time to listen, they hurriedly joined forces, pinpointed the position to attack, swung the mace, and smashed down hard.

when!

The gravel rolled down one after another.

when!

The boulder is cracked from the top.

when!when!when!

The top of the mountain was sliced ​​flat.

Boom!

There was a gap in the mountainside, and the spider web pattern spread along the gap, quickly covering the entire hill.

Rumble!

There were several loud noises in succession, and the hill nearly [-] meters collapsed.

Energy ores of different shapes tumbled down, the larger ones were half a meter in diameter, and the smaller ones were no bigger than a fist.

The two little Qingluans waved their maces, telling the little Suzaku to take them away, and then attacked the next hill.

The deafening chiseling sound continued to echo in the sea of ​​flowers.

In the blink of an eye, another large piece of energy ore was scattered.

Little Suzaku played the game of picking up treasures, and the storage containers she carried were filled up one after another.

As the ore was emptied, the bare surface appeared, still barren, and the color was close to gray, which was extremely inconsistent with the surrounding environment.

"I always feel that something is wrong."

Relying on intuition, Qin Ning knelt down and dug up a piece of soil.

The soil is soft and there are almost no large pieces of gravel.Easy to dig with just your hands, no tools required.

After digging a few times, there seemed to be a golden light flashing in front of my eyes.

With a heartbeat, Qin Ning condensed a light arrow, aimed at the dug earth pit, and exploded directly.

In an instant, mud splashed.

After the explosion, the crater was nearly two meters deep.The golden light that attracted his attention finally showed its original appearance.

Totem, phoenix totem!

The pattern is not completely golden, but layered light yellow, covering the silver-gray metal plate.

Continue to dig, and the soil layer continues to pile up.

When the totem appeared in a large area, Qin Ning was almost certain on the spot that it was the outer shell of the starship.

There is actually a starship hidden under the sea of ​​flowers?

What's even more astonishing is that, if there is no mistake, those light yellow totems represent the last phoenix group, the phoenix!
