After chatting casually with Xue Hua, Kane beckoned to him and motioned for him to follow him to the open space behind the house, which was originally a flowerbed carefully renovated by the owner of the house, but after being ravaged by the demonic soil, all that remained in the flowerbed was a barren and blood-tinged wasteland.

In the middle of the clearing, Kane had already drawn the circle according to the sacrificial ritual described in the book, and the five jade statues had been placed on the five corners of the circle.

Xue Hua took a closer look at the snake-shaped jade statue and found that the original cracks on the statue had completely disappeared, and the entire statue had returned to its original appearance.

However, since the primordial deity represented by this statue has died, the soul aura on the statue has completely disappeared without a trace, and now, it is just an empty magical creation, unless another dwarf wizard re-transforms it into the totem of another primordial god according to their rituals, this thing is completely just a useless and beautiful sculpture.

Of course, the sacrificial ritual of the Golden Bird only requires the five dwarf clan statues to be used as tokens of opening, and it is not so important whether the primordial gods they represent are still alive or not.

"All the arrangements have been completed, and we are ready to begin the ritual of summoning the Golden Bird."

Kane nodded and looked at Xue Hua and said.

"Let's get started, what are you waiting for?"

Xue Hua shrugged his shoulders and said with some indifference.

"Hey... Don't you kid know what this ritual represents?

Forget it, after all, you're not a nerdy old pedant like me......"

Kane sighed, then became a little agitated.

After all, it is likely that the legendary "elixir of immortality" is hidden in the things they are about to take out, although as a Hradim scholar with a deep understanding of the history of the entire continent, Kane himself does not really believe that this elixir really exists in the world.

But as the saying goes, there are no wonders in the world, and as long as this legend is even one percent true, Kane will be very eager to verify its existence for himself.

So he clenched the wooden staff in his hand, walked slowly into the presiding seat in the circle with a solemn expression, and then raised the staff, agitated the mana in his body, and began to activate this sacrificial ritual.

As Kane's mana slowly poured into the circle under his feet, the lines in the formation began to slowly light up.

They first emitted a faint glow of blood-red, and then after the five jade statues began to slowly float off the ground into the air one by one, the light on these lines quickly began to transform into a faint gold.

After about a few minutes, the entire circle was enveloped in a warm golden soft light, and five jade statues suspended in mid-air shot out a golden ray at the same time and converged in the center of the circle.

These five golden rays intersected and circled each other for a short time, as if they were verifying each other's identities, and when all the golden rays were fused together, a golden portal the size of a basketball suddenly opened in a dazzling golden light!

After a few seconds of the golden portal, a golden bird suddenly flew out of the portal, it was not large, it was full of feathers, and it looked more like a living creature than a sculpture.

After the golden bird flew out of the portal, it first hovered in mid-air and looked around, and then spread its wings and wanted to run, but this sacrificial circle obviously also had a special function to restrain and restrict it, and I saw that this little guy had just flown out of a distance of less than a meter, and slammed into an invisible wall of energy.

Then, the golden rays emitted from the five jade statues suddenly snapped, and the remaining rays were transformed into five golden energy tentacles that went straight to the golden bird, which rushed left and right in midair, but in the end it still failed to escape the capture net of the energy tentacles, and was soon thrown into the center of the staff by the entangled knot.

It was only at this point that the entire sacrificial ceremony was completely over, and the golden bird captured by the energy tentacles also transformed into a golden statue with wings ready to fly, lying upright in the center of the circle.

The golden glow from the circle quickly dissipated, and Kane walked out of the circle with the mysterious golden bird statue in his hands.

Xue Hua, who was standing on the sidelines, was already dumbfounded at the moment when the golden bird spread its wings and wanted to escape, and he didn't expect that a statue could still move?

And not only can it move, but it also seems to have its own intelligence?

"Isha, did you record that scene just now?"

After Xue Hua reacted, he hurriedly contacted the adjutant and asked if he had made a video recording of the scene just now.

"It's been recorded, and the psionic breath readings and various image data have been included in the main nest mental file."

Isha is still very competent as an adjutant, and this time it really did not disappoint Xue Hua, hearing its words, Xue Hua immediately nodded and said: "Very good, quickly transmit these data and videos to the worm nest in the asteroid belt, and let the worm mother hand over these materials to Kyellers for research, this should be a very precious research material." ”

"Understood, Juggernaut."

After giving Isa's instructions, Xue Hua hurried towards Kane, the old scholar had obviously never seen such a magical scene as before, so much so that he was now holding the golden bird statue as if he were holding a precious artifact.

"Xue! Did you just see that? This is not some kind of mechanism or magic transformation, it is purely the result of the divine thing's self-channeling! What's in this thing? How can there be the divine power to transform a golden statue into a living being?! ”

Kane's excited lips trembled a little, and for the first time he began to doubt the theories he had previously believed.

Since even dead things can be brought together, there is nothing strange about what is hidden in the Golden Bird's body even if it is really an immortal elixir, right?

"Don't get so excited, what is hidden in this statue, we just need to open it and see?"

Xue Hua took two steps forward and patted Kane on the shoulder, he was afraid that this old man would be too excited to make a heart attack, and it would be too big......

Kane gasped a few times, then stood with his eyes closed for a long time, finally calming down his pounding heart.

He opened his eyes and glanced at Xue Hua, nodded to him with a smile to indicate that he was fine, and then walked quickly towards the house with the golden bird in his hand.

Kane couldn't wait to learn the secrets of the Golden Bird, and he felt that this time his discovery might overturn his original perception of the world!

Xue Hua, who was trotting all the way behind him, couldn't help but shake his head when he looked at the old man's fiery back.

Are all those who engage in scientific research so virtuous? As soon as he saw good research materials, he was as excited as if he had seen a ghost, the two scholars in his swarm, the phase technician of the star spirit, and Kane, the Hradim mage... Sure enough, the brain circuit is not in the same channel, and there is no way to understand what these people are thinking!

However, he was indeed curious about what was in the Golden Bird now, because the moment Kane approached him with the Golden Bird, something in his inventory that hadn't moved in a long time suddenly came alive again!
