Chapter 278 Fighting for favor

  The heat continued to rise, and Xiaoya was forced to stop the light and hide a little further away.

  Lin Xue and Ye Rumeng, who were in the room, also came to watch when they heard the movement.

  The fire element evaporated for about a minute before stopping.

Under the watchful eyes of several people, after the flames stopped escaping, more and more cracks appeared on the phoenix eggshell, and several people could clearly feel that there was an active little life inside, constantly hitting the eggshell , wanting to break out of the shell.

  After working hard for several minutes, finally, a hole was shattered on the top of the eggshell, and a small head covered with golden-red fluff came out of the eggshell, looking around and looking around.

   "This is...Phoenix?"

   Several people came to watch curiously.

   "It looks like a chicken..."

   "But the feathers are red..."

   "It seems to be stuck, do you want to help it?"

   "Don't, breaking the shell is a very important process, it's best to let it do it by itself..."

  …

   Several people were discussing with each other, while the phoenix cub whose neck was stuck by the eggshell on the ground struggled for a while, and found that he couldn't get out, so he had to retract into the eggshell and continue to hit.

   It didn't try to get out of the shell again until the gap was hit wider.

   This time the phoenix finally got out of the shell smoothly, but because its wings could not be opened yet, it fell to the ground with its whole body covered in golden-red fluff.

   "Chirp!"

  Phoenix seemed to be in pain from the fall, so he let out a cry of grievance, twisted his buttocks and moved around, and bit down on the eggshell, rattling, and quickly ate up the eggshell.

   "Hic!"

   After eating, Little Phoenix hiccupped, opened his mouth and sprayed out a ball of flames, which instantly made the surrounding air hot.

   "Chirp?"

   Just as Little Phoenix was resting on his back with a full stomach, a big hand suddenly struck and grabbed it.

  Perhaps it could feel that the person who came was not malicious, and the phoenix did not struggle, and curled up quietly in this hand.

   Mu You looked at the fluffy chick in his hand, the phoenix's body surface was indeed extremely hot, as if holding a piece of burning coal in his hand.

   Mu You couldn't hold it for long, so he hurriedly cut his other index finger and dripped a few drops of blood on its head.

   The little guy didn't resist, and the contract ceremony was automatically completed.

  The moment the contract was completed, Mu You immediately felt the temperature of the phoenix in his hand drop suddenly, from burning coals to a slightly warm fluffy ball.

   This is not because its own temperature has dropped. The newly born phoenix will not restrain the temperature emanating from its unconsciousness, but because of the effect of the contract, Muyou, the owner, can ignore the magic flame of the contracted pet.

   Mu You stretched out his index finger and stroked Little Phoenix's head.

   "Chirp..."

  The little guy kept barking in response, rubbing his head on his fingers affectionately.

  The Omniscient Crystal feeds back the attributes of the little guy.

  【Phoenix larva: The newly born phoenix has a rare high growth rate and the characteristic of 'loyalty'. When the master dies completely, it will automatically die for the master. Level 1, attack power 15-18, HP: 2200, possesses abilities: fire bomb, nirvana, flame skin. 】

  【Fire Bomb: Spit out a magical fire bomb from the mouth, causing range damage after hitting. 】

  【Nirvana: When the phoenix dies, it will turn into a phoenix egg. The phoenix egg can withstand ten attacks. If it is not destroyed within one minute, it will automatically be resurrected from Nirvana. The cooling time is one day. 】

  【Flame Skin: The phoenix has a natural affinity for flames, has 100% fire resistance, and can ignite objects or creatures around it when needed, causing fire damage. 】

Level 1 phoenix has pretty good attributes. In addition, it has three abilities, all of which are very practical, especially the second 'Nirvana', which is the core ability of all phoenixes. It does not consume mana, and it is automatically activated after death. Nirvana rebirth, it can be said that as long as it is not due to lack of food or targeted hunting, every phoenix is ​​an immortal existence.

  Of course, the phoenix also has a loyal nature. After the master dies, it will follow the master, which is why the number of phoenixes has not flooded.

   "A rare high growth rate..."

   Mu You noticed this note in the feedback.

  He has never seen other phoenixes, but judging from the meaning of this description, the potential of this phoenix should belong to the excellent one, right?

  But why was this phoenix egg evaluated as an 'inferior' phoenix egg before?

  It’s okay for the breeder to look away, but the all-knowing crystal also went astray. What affected the judgment...

   Mu You was wondering, when he suddenly saw the little phoenix in his hand, nodding his head and coughing as if something had stuck his throat.

   "The shell of the egg you ate just now got stuck?" Mu You thought.

   As a result, in the next second, Phoenix coughed up something, but what he coughed up was not eggshell fragments, but a fiery red spar.

  The spar fell to the ground and immediately turned into a ball of flames, burning the nearby grass into a small circle of ashes.

   "Hey, why does this fire have eyes?" Xiaoya cried out in surprise.

  The flames on the ground have noses and eyes, and the eyes are still moving around to look at the surrounding environment. No matter how you look at it, it looks like a living creature spontaneously ignited.

  Beside Lin Xue and the little girl looked at the living flames on the ground, and they were also extremely surprised.

   "This is the fire spirit..."

   At this moment, Mu You revealed its identity.

  Different from the astonishment of others, Mu You was extremely surprised when he saw the flames on the ground.

  As early as when the flame first appeared, he recognized it at a glance. This thing was exactly the same as the fire spirit of the previous Coke owner, but it was only a miniature version.

"I see."

  Vivian flew onto Mu You's shoulder, looking at the flames on the ground thoughtfully.

Mu You also understood what she meant. No wonder the quality of the phoenix egg was considered as 'inferior'. In fact, its original quality was very high, but it was precisely because of the high quality that by chance, the egg was conceived. An accompanying fire spirit, the energy in the egg is absorbed by the fire spirit, which leads to the appearance of the phoenix egg, which is not as good as those ordinary quality phoenix eggs.

   Mu You used the Omniscient Crystal to identify the flames.

  【Fire spirit larvae: Elemental creatures condensed from pure fire elements. When carrying this fire spirit, the fire talent will be +2, and the power of fire magic will increase by 30%. It can be used for potion refining. Current growth rate: Childhood (35/1000). 】

   It really is Fire Spirit!

  Although it is still a larva and has almost no growth rate, there is no time to cultivate it to the next stage, and it is impossible to use it to improve his weak fire talent.

  But for his status as a potion master, this fire spirit is still very meaningful, even if it is a young fire spirit, it is enough for refining medicine.

  At this time, the fire spirit on the ground seemed to sense the coldness around it, and quickly jumped back onto the Phoenix, and burrowed back into its body along its mouth.

Mu You looked at the numbers, the little phoenix was just born, and the temperature in his body was not stable. The growth of the fire spirit in its body increased by five points a day, which is not bad, mainly because Mu You can't find a more suitable place to cultivate the fire spirit at present. Let's keep it like this first.

   "Since you are Huo Fenghuang, you can call me Huo Huo from now on."

  Mu You named little Phoenix, then took a lava perch from the game, and fed it to Little Phoenix.

   This magical fish that grows in magma is also of fire attribute, and it is a very delicious food for Phoenix.

  Little Phoenix got the fish given by the owner, fluttered his wings happily, and immediately began to feast on it, very happy.

   "Chi Chi!"

   Just as Mu You and Xiao Fenghuang were having fun, the little spider suddenly called out from the side.

Mu You turned his head and saw that the little spider was staring angrily at the phoenix who was burying his head in eating fish, waving his two front pincers, exposing a row of fangs in his mouth, with a ferocious little face, and yelling threateningly at the phoenix .

   "Chirp!"

  Huo Huo looked up at the little spider in a daze, but it seemed that its current IQ could not understand the meaning of the other party, and it didn't care. It lowered its head and began to concentrate on enjoying the food again.

   As a result, this act of ignorance irritated the little spider. The little spider immediately screamed louder, took a step forward, opened its mouth, and spit out a mouthful of spider silk towards Phoenix.

  It was only at this time that Mu You discovered that after the little spider evolved to weave webs, its ability to spit out webs was also strengthened, and the size and speed of the webs spit out were significantly enhanced.

  Huohuo didn't realize that others were going to attack it at all, and was completely unprepared to defend it at this time, so it was naturally caught by the spider's web.

   When the spider web hit, it shrank into a ball in an instant, and rolled a long way on the ground with the little phoenix before stopping.

  Huohuo finally realized that he was being attacked, and struggled on the ground in a panic. Flames naturally ignited on his body, and the spider webs all over his body were immediately burned to fly ash.

   "Choo chirp!"

The little phoenix that got up again was also a little angry, but it was still at the first level after all. Seeing the vicious little spider in the distance, it was a little scared, so it quietly circled around, hid behind Muyou, and stretched out its feet to pick up the fish. .

   Unexpectedly, this action enraged the little spider even more, and the little spider rushed over with another hiss.

   "Okay, okay, don't fight!"

   Mu You hurriedly stopped between the two pets, holding one with one hand.

   "Gee!"

  Little Spider was stopped by Mu You, and immediately looked at him aggrieved, and mist soon formed in his two big eyes.

   Mu You also has a headache, this phenomenon is obvious, it is the behavior of animals competing for favor.

Apparently, the little spider witnessed the birth of the little phoenix, and then saw Muyou's satisfaction and care for it, and immediately became jealous. At the same time, he probably felt that his future status would be threatened, so he instinctively made a move. attack action.

   Mu You quickly went to get another loach and fed it to the little spider. Only then did the little spider feel more balanced, and started to eat the fish.

   On the other side, Huohuo seemed to have calmed down, and hurried to grab his own fish to continue eating.

  The two pets looked at each other from time to time while eating, still disliked each other, but luckily they stopped fighting.

   Mu You smiled helplessly, that’s how it is when you have too many monsters, it’s the same as raising cubs, you can’t let anyone be neglected, it seems that you need to pay attention to balance in the future.

   But having said that, regardless of the comparison between these two, the little spider seems to be stronger, but in fact, in a real fight, the phoenix should restrain the little spider, because what spiders fear most is fire, and the phoenix happens to be the incarnation of fire.

  No matter what, I got a phoenix and a fire spirit at the same time today, and Mu You is in a good mood.

   Soon the business hours came, and the three continued to be busy with their business.

  The store greeted and sent off, and the flow of customers continued. Mu You looked at the garden while touching fish and playing with his mobile phone.

  【Your comprehension of the 'Flying Curse' has reached 100%. 】

  【You have learned the 'Flying Curse', currently at LV1. 】

  At ten o'clock in the morning, after another magic class, Mu You finally learned the long-awaited flying spell.

   This thing is a must-have spell for the flying broom. Mu You immediately went back to the bedroom, entered the lock cylinder space, and took out the 'Meteor' flying broom in the game.

  Mu You put the red streamlined broom on the ground, then moved away a little, and recited the flying spell.

  The spell exited, and the broom on the ground suddenly floated up automatically without wind, and automatically floated to Mu You's side.

   Mu You held the broom with one hand and straddled it.

  Ride a flying broom instead of sitting directly on the broomstick.

After releasing the flying spell, an invisible air cushion and pedals will automatically appear on the broom, so there is no discomfort or balance problem that many people imagine. On the contrary, it is very comfortable. At the same time, the air cushion will automatically maintain stability without So easy to throw people off.

  As Mu You imagined the direction in his mind, the broom immediately took off like a meteor, bringing a layer of dust behind it.

  Muyou controls the broom to fly up and down in the whole space. It is roughly estimated that the maximum speed can reach 150 kilometers per hour, which is about twice as fast as the full-strength running speed of a chocobo.

It was Mu You's first experience with such a fast flight, so he was naturally a little unfamiliar. At the beginning, he almost hit the wall several times. After flying for more than ten minutes, he finally got used to this extremely fast changing perspective. Walk through the space at will, and there will be no more bumps when encountering various sharp turns.

This broom is undoubtedly extremely efficient for traveling, but it also consumes a lot of mana. According to the flying speed, the mana consumption per second is between 1 and 10. If flying at full speed, the average person can last for a few minutes or ten minutes. Just stop and rest.

  No matter what, after learning the flying spell, with this broomstick in hand, Mu You can be regarded as half a flying mount. In the future, when encountering emergencies or roads where chocobos are not easy to pass, you can directly ride on the broomstick.

   At 6 pm, after seeing off the last group of tourists today, the pet shop closed.

   At this time in the game, the Ghost finally arrived near Nax Island in the middle of the Evil Sea after a day's trek.

  Mu You went online, and first checked the damage of the Ghost.

  Since entering the sea of ​​evil spirits in the morning, the ghost has been fighting almost all the way.

   After communicating with the Pandaren, he learned that in the past fourteen hours, the Ghost was attacked by eight waves of pirates. Although they were all defeated, the damage to the Ghost itself was not small. The hull was bombed and broken in many places, the keel was also cracked, and the bow was hit badly.

  Mu You released the black magic version of the repair spell, and most of these hull damages took less than half a day, so it is not difficult to repair.

   Soon, the Ghost was magically restored to its original state.

  Of course, in return for the battle damage, a large amount of loot was recorded, various hull materials, pirate treasures were robbed, and three relatively intact small sea ships were also seized.

   Together with the Ghost, Mu You put several boats into the storage bottle, leaving only one small boat, because they were going to go ashore next.

  【You have come to the 'Beizu Island' in the north of Nax Island, have you gone ashore? 】

"yes."

  Muyou greeted the mermaid in the game, and originally planned to let her wait in the nearby waters, but unexpectedly the mermaid strongly protested after hearing this, insisting on going to the island with him.

Mu You wasn't sure if she was afraid that she would leave her and run away, or if she had always wanted to visit the human city. Seeing how persistent she was, she agreed and found her a long skirt and hat to cover her tail and hair, and then found a bamboo basket, let her jump into the bamboo basket, and then took her to the island together.

  【You and two companions have landed on Nax Island. 】

  【Nax Island, also known as Turtle Island, got its name because it looks like a sea turtle. In addition to the oval-shaped main island that forms the 'sea turtle body' in the center, a peninsula extends from each side to form the four-legged sea turtle. Beizu Island is one of the four peninsulas, and it is also one of the four major ports of Nax Island...]

  This turtle-shaped island, four symmetrical peninsulas form four legs, each foot is a natural port, they are now equivalent to landing on the back right foot of the turtle.

  The reason why I chose the port in the north is because according to the map of Nax Island, there is a very famous "Nax Tavern" on this peninsula. It is said that the food and drinks sold are quite authentic, and the business is booming all year round.

  【Nax Island is the territory of the octopus king Zubac. Zubac is the most notorious sea monster in the Protoss world, none of them. Its body is as huge as a mountain, its strength is infinite, and its strength is unfathomable. It can be called an invincible existence on the sea. 】

  【We are in the territory of King Octopus, we must abide by the rules here. 】

[Within the scope of Nax Island, everyone is not allowed to fight, steal, rob, kill, etc., otherwise they will be arrested by octopus soldiers everywhere and sent to the submarine prison under Nax Island, and the The crimes are punished with different sentences, and no one has the possibility of escaping before the sentence is completed. 】

[It is precisely because of the deterrent power of the Octopus King and the strict system management that Nax Island has become one of the safest cities in the Protoss world. Down, created this extremely prosperous commercial city. 】

  【You have come to the 'Nax Tavern', do you want to enter? 】

  【You entered the tavern with two companions, and the tavern clerk immediately brought you the menu of the restaurant...】

  Mu You clicked on the text of the 'menu', and the names and descriptions of a series of wine and dishes popped up immediately below.

   Mu You watched and chose a few, mainly to order a good wine for the pandaren.

In name, he is now hiring pandaren, but after a few days, he has never given anyone a serious drink. Now that he has the opportunity, he is not stingy. He picks up the most expensive 'jewel sake' and gives it to him boldly. two barrels.

  【The pandaren laughed from ear to ear after listening to your order, and praised you for your loyalty. This time it cost you money. It will definitely do its best to help you in the future. 】

   This barrel of wine will have a lifespan of 50 years, and the two barrels will be gone for a hundred years. It hurts a bit, but this is what he promised after all, and it should be paid.

   In addition, Mu You also ordered a portion of "magic steamed fish" for himself. It is said that it is a food that can restore mobility. As long as the life span is five years, if it can regain full mobility, it will definitely not be a loss.

On the mermaid's side, Muyou ordered her the cheapest magic ale and some meat dishes. It only took about two years in total. Anyway, the mermaid doesn't have any requirements for human food. It's just a novelty for her to eat. The food is just fine.

  The text in the game reminds the three of them to eat and drink very happily, but Mu You came to the tavern specially, of course not only to treat them to a meal, but mainly to collect information.

   There is no place where it is easier to obtain information than a tavern at night.
