I saw that about ten meters away from Cao Ke, a huge bird that looked a little similar to a peacock was staring at its small round eyes, looking at Cao Ke curiously!

This bird, with a high crown of feathers on the top of its head, a beak like an eagle, and a colorful feather all over its body, looks very gorgeous! A pair of huge wings are closed on both sides of the body, and the end of the wings is even more snow-white, looking from a distance, it looks like a slender cloud, dotted between the dazzling rainbows!

Looking down, the shape of this bird's claws is very similar to that of chicken claws, but the outside of this bird's claws is wrapped in a layer of pale gold skin, and with the pale silver claw hook at the front of the claws, it immediately gets rid of the low end of the chicken, revealing a hard texture of metal!

The most attractive thing is the long tail of this bird! It looks very similar to the peacock's peacock feather, but it is bigger and more colorful than the peacock's peacock feather! One by one, it is softly draped behind the bird, as if it is a touching evening dress for this noble bird!

What made Cao Ke feel even more amazing was that around the bird's body, it naturally emitted a faint red and yellow light! It made people feel a sense of sacredness at a glance! It was a bit lofty and inviolable!

"No...... Wouldn't it?!" The appearance of this bird instantly brought a fantasy name to Cao Ke's mind: "I actually found a ...... here." Phoenix?!"

That's right! It's a phoenix! The bird that suddenly appeared in front of Cao Ke's eyes was more than a dozen meters long! Both in form and feeling, there was no huge difference from the phoenix that Cao Ke had seen in his calligraphy and paintings! Perhaps the only difference was that this phoenix was relatively small, and this was very easy to explain, and the phoenix in front of him was still in its young age! The more Cao Ke thought about it, the more he felt that his judgment was correct!

Cao Ke was observing this bird, and this bird was also observing Cao Ke! It obviously did not have the slightest fear of Cao Ke, not only did not flee immediately, but slowly leaned in the direction of Cao Ke!

Seeing this, Cao Ke hurriedly took two steps back! Just kidding, if the other party is really a phoenix, then its strength should not be underestimated! Cao Ke must keep them at a relatively safe distance from each other to ensure that he is not too threatened. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Stop, stop!" Cao Ke waved his hand hurriedly as he stepped back, "Brother Phoenix, if this is your territory, then I'm really sorry! I really don't know, my intrusion was completely unintentional...... Maybe you don't understand what I'm saying...... How do you say that?...... Anyway, we two gentlemen don't move our mouths, it's a big deal, I'll turn around and leave immediately!"

Listening to Cao Ke's words, the phoenix stopped, turned his little head from side to side, and then actually spoke, "You...... Is it human?"

Seeing that the other party could communicate with him in words, Cao Ke let out a long breath, and his nervous mood also relaxed, and he nodded like garlic in response: "Yes! Yes! I am a human being! I am from the Tongtian Empire! Do you know the Tongtian Empire? It is a powerful country located on the main continent of the Lingtian Continent! Not the indigenous people of the Semir State!"

A trace of confusion flashed in the phoenix's eyes, obviously he didn't know much about what Cao Ke said about the Tongtian Empire and the Lingtian Continent, and after thinking about it for a long time, this phoenix still took the lead in asking the question he was most concerned about: "Human, what do you want to do when you come to this hot spring lake?"

"Hot Spring Lake?" Cao Ke was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then said, "Oh, you mean this Cold Mountain Heavenly Pool, right? I didn't have a big deal here, I just wanted to find something inconsequential......"

Before Cao Ke could finish speaking, the phoenix directly interjected: "This 'inconsequential thing' in your mouth is a thing that exudes huge energy?"

Cao Ke's heart shook suddenly, and there was caution in his eyes, and he asked the phoenix rhetorically, "...... Aren't you looking for this too?"

Phoenix nodded naturally, "Yes, I'm just looking for this thing...... About ten days ago, I inadvertently flew over this mountain range, and suddenly I felt a very powerful force of nature in this mountain range! This force of nature is really so strong that I have never seen it in my life! If I can find the source of this power and turn it into my own use, then my cultivation will be able to break through the shackles of this world and soar into the vast universe just like my ancestors!"

"Ahem...... Cao Ke coughed a little embarrassed twice, and said helplessly: "I'm afraid that there is really no way to realize this idea of yours!" Because as far as I know, the source of this natural force is originally a crystal, and this crystal is a fragment of the body of an ancient god! The power contained in it, even the top existence of this continent, that is, the dragon clan, has no way to withstand it, and it is really difficult for you to absorb it!"

Cao Ke thought that as soon as he said this, this phoenix would retreat in a difficult way, fly away, and never grab the natural fragment with him again, but what Cao Ke never expected was that when he heard him mention the dragon clan, the phoenix actually let out a cold snort full of disdain, and said in a deep voice: "The so-called dragon clan in your mouth can't be those huge lizards that can fly on the continent of Semir, right?"

"Flying...... The giant lizard ?!...... "This is the first time Cao Ke has heard that someone would be so bold, and he described the dragon clan of the first race in the continent like this, and immediately subconsciously responded with a shocked face: "If you have to say that, there is nothing wrong with it......

"Hmph!" The expression on the phoenix's face was even more disdainful and even a little disdainful, so he heard it say in a strange tone: "As for those low-level lizards, you humans, elves, or whatever, are willing to call them 'dragon clans'! In fact, you don't know at all, they are far from the real dragon clan! Even the grade is four or five orders apart! That is not a level of existence at all! Dragon clan? It's a shame that they are embarrassed to call themselves by this title!"

"The real dragon clan, deer antlers, pig nose, snake body, eagle claws! Before adulthood, you will be able to perceive the truth of the Heavenly Dao! Break through the shackles of the continent and soar between the universe! Those lizards? It would be good to have one who has truly reached the Heavenly Dao in their lifetime! So in front of me, you still don't call them by the name of the dragon clan anymore, I feel awkward when I hear it!"

If these words of the phoenix were heard by other people in the Lingtian Continent, they would definitely feel a little confused, and they would not understand what the real dragon clan described in the mouth of the phoenix was like! But for Cao Ke, who was originally from the earth, there was no obstacle to understanding, because Cao Ke knew that the dragon clan recognized by the phoenix's mouth was the totem of the country where he lived when he was on earth!

In such a distant and foreign country as the Lingtian Continent, when he suddenly heard someone mention something from his hometown, that kind of intimate feeling, not to mention how warm and touching it was! Cao Ke even felt that the distance between himself and this phoenix had narrowed so close! As if they were a pair of fellow countrymen......

"The so-called dragon and phoenix Chengxiang is the situation where your phoenix and the real dragon clan you mentioned get together, right?" Cao Ke couldn't help but ask.

"Dragon and Phoenix Chengxiang?" This time, this phoenix was a little inexplicable: "I really don't know why you invented such a word! Our phoenix clan is completely on the same level as the dragon clan, but our relationship is just that! The dragon clan has its own system, and we phoenix also have our phoenix's unique ethnic structure!"

"The male is the phoenix, and the mother is the phoenix! This is the real phoenix! Why do you want to add the dragon clan? Although we do have a good relationship with the dragon clan, we have not reached the level of intermarriage! This so-called auspicious statement is really too weird!"

Cao Ke smiled and explained: "The word dragon and phoenix Chengxiang is mostly used to congratulate a couple of newlyweds on their wedding, maybe this kind of use will make you misunderstand this word, this word actually does not exactly say that a dragon and a phoenix must be combined, perhaps, in our eyes, you are all rare auspicious, you appear together, it is just for us to be auspicious!"

Hearing this, the phoenix nodded noncommittally, was silent for a long time, and suddenly his eyes sharpened, and he said in a deep voice: "Okay, you are a powerful boy, and before you know it, you have successfully led the topic elsewhere! Let me ask you, you have come here, but like me, are you looking for the source of the power of nature? That is, the body fragment of the ancient power in your mouth!"

Seeing that the phoenix finally realized his true intentions, Cao Ke felt that there was nothing to hide, so he simply put his head on the heavy and replied loudly: "That's right! I have the same purpose as you, I am looking for that natural attribute crystal!"

The phoenix couldn't help but snort his wings twice, and said coldly: "In that case, you and I are still a pair of competitors!"

Cao Ke was stunned: "What are you talking about? You actually regard me as your competitor? Am I right? You can't even look down on those lizard-type so-called dragons on the mainland, and you can actually look down on me as a small human being?"

"Human?" Phoenix sneered: "At the beginning, I really thought of you as a human being, but after my repeated observations, I found that you are definitely not as simple as you seem on the surface......"

Speaking of this, Phoenix's tone changed, and he looked behind him, before turning his head and saying to Cao Ke again: "Regardless of this, whether it is you or me, it may not be so easy to get the natural fragment, because we still have to pass a test to determine the true ownership of this fragment......
