Chapter two hundred and seventy-eight, even if the sun sets three times
Many of the first generation of divine beasts in the eighth world are related to the blood rabbit. The current mainstream speculation is that the dragon clan comes from the winged lizard and the unicorn comes from the wildebeest, but there has never been a conclusion on whether the phoenix is a chicken or a peacock.
But no matter what, if you dare to talk about ancestors with the arrogant divine beasts, they dare to dig your ancestral grave. Therefore, these so-called speculations are only circulated among human scholars.
However, although king-level monsters are generally blood-level of descendants of divine beasts, and the emperor-level corresponds to divine beasts, the other way around is not. Bloodlines only correspond to potential rather than strength. Even the Phoenix clan with pure bloodlines will only be guaranteed to be a king-level when adults are adults, and not many people break through to the emperor-level.
Just as the dragon clan is very colorful, there are branches inside the phoenix. The more mainstream ones are the ice phoenix and the fire phoenix, but among them, there is another kind of weird, that is, the Nine-Dead phoenix.
There are many alias for Nine Dead Phoenix, and the most commonly used is the Immortal Bird, but people in the Sixth World occasionally call it Suzaku, but the official name is indeed the most appropriate. Unlike most phoenixes, Nine Dead Phoenix is extremely weak in childhood and will not grow with time. They can only approach adulthood step by step through phased promotion.
The advanced method of the Nine-Dead Phoenix is also very strange. They need to be burned to death and then resurrected, which is commonly known as Nirvana.
After completing a Nirvana, the Nine-Dead Phoenix will be directly immune to flames and high temperatures below this level, and even if it is killed by other methods, it can still be resurrected after being placed in the high temperature within three days. However, this does not count as the number of Nirvana.
To reach the adult body, the Nine Dead Phoenix must rebirth nine times, which means they have to look for nine kinds of flames, which are higher than the requirements each time. Once they become adults, the Nine Dead Phoenix is the true immortal bird. As long as they have heat, they can be resurrected without limit, and all adult immortal birds are imperial-level monsters.
Of course, the Nine Death Phoenix itself is an extremely rare type of phoenix, with even fewer adults. At present, I heard that there are only one or two adult bodies. What's more, the theoretical immortality does not mean that it is really impossible to kill. As long as there is a strong enough guy to isolate the heat, he can still kill it. It is said that Gent once killed a Nine Death Phoenix and made its tail feathers into fans to show off.
"Then, now it's only an egg left. Are you dead or not?" Ji Shuzhai asked in a low voice.
"Diet," Kun Yi pointed to the egg in his hand, "If this is released, it is equivalent to what the president said, and it is explosive."
"That seems to be dead." Ji Shuzhai nodded.
Egg drops after death are the main breeding method of Nine Dead Phoenixes, because they are too small and they have to run around in search of flames, so they basically cannot find a partner. What's more, even if Nine Dead Phoenix is out of singleness, they will still not be able to have children. The existing Nine Dead Phoenixes are basically the descendants of those adults.
The reason why the Nine-Dead Phoenixes are not extinct is that each of them has a natal egg, similar to the hearts of other monsters. When they truly die, the egg will condense.
Generally speaking, the initial Nine Dead Phoenix egg is only the size of an egg. If you throw it into the flame and bake it for a while, it will gradually expand and will not stop until it grows to the size of an ostrich egg. If you continue to heat, the pattern of the flame above will become more and more complicated, and eventually, a new young Nine Dead Phoenix will break out of its shell.
The Nine Death Phoenix Egg is the essence of the Nine Death Phoenix, which is more difficult to destroy than the original body. Moreover, the Nine Death Phoenix is almost conscious before the three days after death. Therefore, if they have a premonition that they are helpless, they will manipulate the egg to emit light and attract their kind to take it away.
Although the Nine Death Phoenix is not close to other branches of the Phoenix clan, it is not yet as far as I hope they will destroy the clan. So if a phoenix discovers this kind of light, most of them will come to help. Anyway, the consensus within the Phoenix clan is that you can kill the Nine Death Phoenix, but you can't hit it.
"Then why didn't this egg shine?" Ji Shuzhai asked again.
Yi Liuling glanced at the flower bud that was almost unformed and guessed: "It may be because this flower ignored the Nine-Dead Phoenix's sunset three times, otherwise even if there were only bone scum, it would have the possibility of resurrection and would not drop the eggs so quickly."
"It is precisely because it dies too fast and has no time to operate, that the egg does not shine." Kunyi continued to explain.
"Wait, Brother Ling," Ji Shuzhai was considered the second dimension, and instantly noticed Yi Liuling's words, "Isn't it a bit outrageous if you welcome the sunset three times?"
"I think it's okay," said Yi Liuling.
Kunyi guessed that the two of them were playing with some hometown slogans, and they didn't participate, but rubbed the phoenix egg on their hands: "But since it didn't shine, can we turn it black? I'm really curious why the phoenix looks so much like a pheasant."
Although the Nine Dead Phoenix is weird, at least from the outside, it is similar to the Phoenix. However, most of the phoenixes are colorful, and once they become adults, they become dark all over, and some people say they are burnt.
But no matter what, the pure blood Nine Dead Phoenix will not grow into a pheasant. But if it is mixed blood, it is also unlikely - not all the divine beasts are planted everywhere, and there are only a few adults of Nine Dead Phoenix, which are basically digested internally. Like the genderless nine-color deer, they are all pure blood and will not be messed up.
"Do you think it will?" Yi Liuling made a guess, "This phoenix burned itself like this because it encountered some strange flames?"
"Gudu thinks, this is too outrageous." Gudu finally found an opportunity to speak, "Gudu can't eat phoenixes."
"Ah, right," Yi Liuling realized this when she heard Gudu say this. "Gudu can sense the breath of a divine beast. He didn't realize that this was a nine-death phoenix."
Unlike Kun Yi, who is a mixed-race human race and a divine beast bloodline, Gudu, who belongs to the beast race, is very sensitive to the aura of various monsters, so he was very afraid of Kun Yi before, and also had some sense of Tatani. But why did Gudu not notice anything when they cooked this flaming pheasant?
"Ah, a special flame?" Kun Yi snapped his fingers and his eyes lit up. "Sure enough, there are no volcanic beads. There may be strange-shaped fire seeds here. You have to go to the back mountain to find them!"
