Age of Evolution#-Chapter 499 - 500: A Little Phoenix

Chapter 499: Chapter 500: A Little Phoenix

Standing up from this garbage basin, Lin Zhen unconsciously paced back and forth.

“Flames, more potent flames. Cultivating it will take time, but I don’t have much time to waste in the Chaotic Star River.”

Lin Zhen also checked the rankings within the Dimensional Universe. At present, the first in kills was Ye Hua, with over thirty thousand Insect Clan kills. The second was Nan Lie, also with over thirty thousand kills.

In third place, Feng Qingluan had killed more than twenty thousand, but her kill count had stagnated for a while. Otherwise, she would have been almost on par with Ye Hua.

Tianci and others were also on the list, but the total number of Martial Artists of the Fire Kirin Clan was now less than twenty thousand people.

At this rate, they would lose this war. Once they retreated, Lin Zhen could not possibly stay alone in the Chaotic Star River.

After thinking for a long time without finding any suitable solutions, Lin Zhen felt irritable and decided to sit down and meditate.

As he practiced meditation, his mind gradually calmed down.

Spiritual Power spread out in silvery tendrils, covering thousands of meters around him.

“Jiū Jiū~!”

A low and tender bird’s cry rang out. Scanning with his Spiritual Power, Lin Zhen discovered a little bird.

Lin Zhen had never seen such a beautiful bird before.

It had magnificent multicolored feathers, several plumes on its head, a tail as beautiful as a long skirt, and delicate, weak wings, as if it would fall from the sky at any time.

“This seems to be a young bird, though much larger than a chicken.”

Just as Lin Zhen was thinking, the bird suddenly spiraled in the sky and nosedived!

Lin Zhen was shocked. It seemed that the bird was severely injured. Instinctively, he waved his hand, sending a gravitational force that directly sucked the little bird over from a distance.

As the lightweight bird landed in his arms, its eyelids fluttered a few times before closing weakly, unable to open again.

As Lin Zhen held the bird, he suddenly felt a familiar sensation.

“This is not an ordinary bird. It’s actually a Galaxy Beast and not just any Galaxy Beast, but a Super Star River Beast with a Fire Attribute!”

Lin Zhen’s eyes widened in shock, not expecting to encounter a Super Star River Beast in this desolate land. It was genuinely astonishing.

He didn’t know where this Galaxy Beast came from, but since he had encountered it, Lin Zhen didn’t want to ignore its plight.

A gentle flow of Star Power, infused with fire energy, enveloped the injured bird.

In its unconscious state, the bird let out a faint cry, like a kitten.

A faint smile crept onto Lin Zhen’s face. Although the bird was severely injured, it happened to share his Fire Kirin genes and the Fire attribute. He knew he should be able to heal it slowly.

However, that process could not be completed in a few days. “Might as well consider it a good deed then.”

Lin Zhen slowly released Star Power, only to feel the bird’s body temperature dropping increasingly.

“Not good. I don’t know where the bird was injured, but relying on Star Power alone won’t help it recover.”

Lin Zhen immediately recalled how he saved Xiao Nuan in the past. Without hesitation, he bit his fingertip, letting blood flow and sent it to the bird’s beak.

In its unconscious state, the bird felt the liquid and instinctively swallowed it.

Despite this bird being only about twenty pounds, it was a Galaxy Beast with a surprisingly voracious appetite. It drank blood for several hours!

The absorbed blood even exceeded its own weight. It was only because Lin Zhen’s body had been strengthened many times that he was able to support the blood loss without being drained completely dry.

Even so, when he finally pulled the bird back from the brink of death, Lin Zhen was pale and frail.

“What a voracious bird you are, almost drained me dry.”

Lin Zhen hastily took out some food from his Space Ring and wolfed it down, then simply lay down on the ground to rest.

As Lin Zhen’s blood entered the little bird’s body, the bird’s blood also entered Lin Zhen’s body, quietly causing changes…

“Big Brother, we can’t run anymore, let’s fight these insects!”

Several Martial Artists of the Fire Kirin Clan were being chased by a group of the Insect Clan and had reached their wits’ end.

This scenario was quite common in the Chaotic Star River, with fewer and fewer Human Clan Warriors, while the Insect Clan became larger and more numerous. Their resistance was nearly gone.

“Let’s fight! Killing one is worth it, killing two is a gain!”

The few Martial Artists turned around to charge back at the Insect Clan army. In the distance, a Star System Stage Insect Clan member sneered.

“Foolish creatures, we Insect Clan can breed as many low-level warriors as we want. What impact could your killing a hundred or a thousand of us make? We shall win this Chaotic Star River War.”

Just as the few warriors were about to be swallowed by the Insect Clan army, a figure descended from the sky.

Two flying swords resembling Flood Dragons in the sea of consciousness traced streaks of light in the air. Wherever the Sword Light passed, countless Insects of the Insect Clan were killed.

These few hundred Insect Clan members were unable to withstand the onslaught of this man’s twin flying swords and were wiped out in just five minutes!

Meanwhile, the far-off Star System Stage Insect Clan had already turned and run, yelling as they went, “Ye Hua, don’t get too cocky! Your individual bravery doesn’t represent anything! We Insect Clan will surely win this battle, and the rest of you will be buried in the Chaotic Star River!”

With the Insect Clan leader gone, the few Martial Artists looked at the handsome man with admiration that couldn’t be described as anything less than crazed.

“Ye Hua… so cool!”

“Big brother Ye Hua, you’re truly my idol!”

“Big brother Ye Hua, you saved my life. Little sister… has no way to repay you. If you don’t mind, I’d like to accompany you and take care of you…”

Ye Hua smiled at the Martial Artists. He was already used to such scenes.

“You all don’t need to do this, we’re all comrades of the Empire and should support each other. But you all should stop wandering in the starry sky. Either go to the Suspended Island to comprehend the Heaven Stele or just return home. It’s too dangerous here.”

“We’re not afraid! We have Ye Hua! We want to go to the Suspended Island!” The few Martial Artists were resolute in their stance.

Ye Hua revealed an enchanting smile, causing the female Martial Artist’s eyes to fill with little heart symbols. He then turned and vanished with a step in the void.

All of these scenes were recorded by the Martial Artists and transmitted into the Dimensional Universe for everyone in the Fire Kirin community to see.

The unfavorable battle situation gave the people of the Empire a sense of panic. They needed a morale boost, and Ye Hua’s emergence provided that, lifting everyone’s spirits.

They all believed they might not win this fight, but at least they wouldn’t lose too terribly because they still had Ye Hua.

The idol among Martial Artists had become a national idol with countless fans!

“Chirp chirp~!”

The crisp chirping of birds gradually awakened Lin Zhen.

When he opened his eyes, a small red bird stood on the wreckage of a broken spaceship in front of him, tilting its head to look at Lin Zhen.

Most of its body was red, with multicolored feathers, making it extremely beautiful and adorable.

After looking inward with his Spiritual Power, Lin Zhen was pleasantly surprised to find that the Fire element within his body had actually strengthened.

The originally light orange flame had turned yellowish!

A change in color meant a temperature increase of several thousand or even tens of thousands of degrees. Such a massive improvement was truly astonishing, especially since Lin Zhen had done nothing to bring it about.

“It must be because of this little bird, just like when it was with Xiao Nuan last time. It should be a Phoenix!”

There were quite a few fire-controlling birds, such as the Vermilion Bird and the Fire Crow, but among the Super Star River Beasts, only the Phoenix was considered the king of birds.

“Could you be a Little Phoenix?”

Lin Zhen looked at the Little Phoenix, and the more he looked, the more he liked it. He couldn’t help but reach out and beckon it, saying, “Come here.”

The Little Phoenix raised its head and looked towards the horizon, as if it hadn’t seen Lin Zhen at all.

“Aya, you’re so proud?”

Lin Zhen laughed, then took out a piece of beef from his Space Ring: “Come on, I have something for you to eat.”

The Little Phoenix didn’t even give it a glance, keeping a distance between them.

For some reason, Lin Zhen seemed to feel that the Little Phoenix’s gaze was very cold, with no sense of closeness towards him.

“You don’t have to treat me like this. After all, I saved your life.”

The Little Phoenix slightly turned her head and gave Lin Zhen a look, but that was the only response, without any sign of happiness.

“This little guy is really hard to please. When Xiao Nuan was around me, it was like a mangy dog that couldn’t be driven away. This is really two extremes.”

Lin Zhen stroked his chin. The more arrogant the Little Phoenix was, the more he wanted it to shed its pride. Having a Little Phoenix on his shoulder, occasionally grooming his hair and scratching itches would be nice.

Lin Zhen could clearly feel that the Little Phoenix was very hungry and needed a large amount of food, but it stubbornly refused to acknowledge him.

“Chris, help me find out what kind of food the Phoenix needs.”

“Master, I’ve found it. Phoenixes need food that contains a lot of energy from living creatures. Sometimes they also need to swallow Fire Minerals.”

“I don’t have any Fire Minerals, and it’s a young Phoenix, so it probably doesn’t need too many minerals, right? As for living creatures… let me see.”

Inside the Star Fruit Tree, Lin Zhen’s clone caught a green mantis at the Planet Stage, which was definitely a great tonic.

“Chris, is this mantis suitable for the Phoenix’s diet?”

“Yes, it’s absolutely suitable.”

“That’s good. I don’t believe I can’t deal with it.”

Lin Zhen firmly restrained the mantis and took it out: “Hey, try this! Fresh and delicious insects, all natural and green.”

The Little Phoenix looked back and Lin Zhen even saw its swallowing motion, but it still refused to come over, as if the scenery was just too good.

Lin Zhen gnashed his teeth with hatred, and then decided to use his elemental power, summoning wind and cloud, thunder and lightning, causing artificial rain to fall in this area!

The injured Little Phoenix couldn’t maintain its demeanor anymore and was turned into a drenched chicken in an instant!
