I Contracted Myself-Chapter 99 – Resurrected Divine Bird
```
One kick!
Zhu Hongfang was trampled to death by the divine bird.
Even the young men and women beside her were caught in the aftermath, turning into minced meat under the bird's foot.
The surviving young talents of the Zhu Family were instantly pale, staring in disbelief at Zhu Hongfang's corpse. Then, someone screamed, and everyone snapped back to reality, scrambling to flee.
The divine bird slowly turned around, revealing the sinister smile of a clown on its chest. It flapped its wings fiercely, unleashing a fiery storm that swept across the surroundings. Many people, while running, were reduced to mere skeletons, which then turned to ashes in the wind.
Some of the more capable young talents of the Zhu Family resisted the fiery storm and continued to flee, looking utterly disheveled.
Suddenly, one of the young men stopped, trembling as he turned to face the divine bird. The clown on the bird's chest wore a mocking smile.
"Is this the power of a king? Haha, haha, hahaha!"
The young man suddenly burst into maniacal laughter. His ability was called the Blood of the Flame Beast. The Flame Beast was a creature living near volcanoes, possessing not only high-temperature resistance but also a mysterious foresight ability, such as predicting volcanic eruptions.
The young man had perfectly replicated the Flame Beast's abilities, so he foresaw his own death.
It was an unavoidable death.
In the next second, the divine bird spread its wings and soared into the sky, then dove down, sweeping its wings in a red glow, turning the ground into a sea of lava.
Everyone Zhu Hongfang brought was annihilated at that moment!
...
At a certain Zhu Family base.
"So pitiful, all dead. That's what you get for not taking me along." Zhu Jiuyang half-lay on the sofa, looking at the tragic deaths of his cousins in the comic book, laughing to himself.
Then he glanced at the divine bird wreaking havoc, muttering softly, "Alright, go kill Zhang Pingping, my Ocean Man specimen is almost within reach. I heard Ocean Men have something in their mouths, I wonder if it's true."
He closed the comic book, then sat up happily, taking a sip of milk.
"Mom always said drinking more milk would make me taller, why am I not growing? I guess I shouldn't have turned mom into a specimen, now I can't ask her." He put down the cup, looking at his reflection in it, speaking with some distress.
Not far behind him, a female specimen stood lifelike.
...
In the endless mountains, somewhere in the forest.
Zhang Shouzhong held an umbrella, muttering to himself, "Good thing it's raining, otherwise we might have turned into roast pigs before reaching the Changsha River."
"Only you would turn into a roast pig," Cheng Xuejie retorted.
Lu Han frowned, "Is this really the time for jokes?"
"Alright, this fire won't be extinguished by a little rain, at most it will slow its spread. Let's hurry." Feng Laixian said helplessly.
He was the strongest here, so no one opposed him, and they continued on their way in silence.
The forest was still burning.
Although the drizzle had put out many flames, it also brought thick smoke.
However, Zhang Shouzhong could transform fat into gas masks, so everyone wore them and didn't worry about the smoke.
Bai De walked alongside Feng Laixian at the back, his ear twitched slightly, then he looked to the right, where the smoke flowed through the forest like water, moving faster and faster toward them.
"Be careful, the wind's picking up!" he warned.
Zhang Shouzhong was about to make a sarcastic remark about the wind, but before he could speak, the 'smoke stream' accelerated, followed by a gust of hot wind.
"So hot, so hot, so hot..." Zhang Shouzhong cried out in pain.
Liu Sishan quickly created a large amount of pure water, forming a shield to block the hot wind.
"I have a bad feeling."
Feng Laixian suddenly felt his hair stand on end, looking fearfully in the direction the wind was coming from.
In the sky, a massive firebird was flying rapidly toward them.
Liu Sishan saw the firebird and shouted, "Everyone, run!"
"Give up, it's coming for us," Feng Laixian said with some despair, looking at the firebird.
He was the most attuned to the firebird's power, and in his eyes, it was like the sun.
He even felt a resonance, as if the firebird could enter the Great Sun Red Emperor form.
Even if he entered the Great Sun Red Emperor form, he couldn't escape death.

Doomed!
That was Feng Laixian's judgment.
He slowly closed his eyes, resigned to his fate.
Bai De watched this scene, showing disbelief. He had never seen Feng Laixian so weak, not even struggling before accepting death?
He looked up at the firebird, a hint of confusion in his eyes.
Death?
He wasn't really afraid of death; any Awakener who had experienced numerous life-and-death battles wouldn't fear it too much.
He patted his clothes, intending to light a cigarette, but realized he hadn't brought any.
"That kid Zhang Ping, maybe being trapped underground is a good thing."
He intended to curse Zhang Ping, but the words wouldn't come out, and he ended up speaking with a smile.
"Don't give up, it's just a bird!"
At this moment, Zhang Shouzhong shouted, resolutely using fat to create a large shield, adopting a stance of defending to the death.
"It's coming!"
He looked at the rapidly enlarging firebird in the sky, gritting his teeth and bracing his shoulder against the shield.
In reality, the firebird was still over three kilometers away, but the heat from its wing flaps arrived first.
The surrounding trees instantly carbonized, the ground turned black and scorching, emitting steaming vapor.
Fortunately, it was still raining, so the ground didn't turn into lava.
"Everyone, defend with all your might!"
Liu Sishan sighed helplessly, abandoning the idea of fleeing.
The firebird's flying speed was too fast; they had no advantage in a race against it.
Running was a dead end, so they had to defend with everything they had!
She gritted her teeth, releasing all the water element energy within her.
Centered around her, a massive azure water sphere formed instantly, protecting everyone inside.
Zhang Shouzhong's eyes lit up at this sight, then he transformed the large shield into black fireproof fabric, using iron rods to prop it up, forming a ten-meter circular tent.
Everyone was inside the tent, with Liu Sishan's water sphere outside.
Lu Han approached an iron rod, grasping it, and his physical strength energy began to reinforce Zhang Shouzhong's tent.
In the sky, the firebird looked at the water sphere on the ground. In the next moment, it flapped its wings fiercely, diving down with a wave of heat. At a hundred meters from the water sphere, steam began to rise.
When it got within ten meters, the pure water boiled.
Liu Sishan's face turned red, gritting her teeth to maintain the water sphere.
Suddenly, the firebird, three meters away, flapped its wings at the water sphere, instantly evaporating it. A gust of hot wind hit the tent, setting it ablaze and scattering it in the wind.
Lu Han's hand on the iron rod was cooked on the spot, emitting a meaty aroma.
"Ahhh!"
Feng Laixian saw this and gritted his teeth, standing in front of everyone, using his body to shield them from the firebird's hot wind.
Even after being weakened by the water sphere and tent, the hot wind still had immense power. Feng Laixian's skin was blown away instantly, followed by his fat and muscles, with his organs emitting white smoke.
"Master, I'm coming too!"
Bai De shouted, trying to step forward, but as soon as he reached Feng Laixian's side, one of his arms was blown away by the wind.
The firebird in the sky saw that Liu Sishan and the others were still alive, immediately circling back and diving toward Feng Laixian and the others again.
Everyone knew in their hearts that this time, the firebird's attack couldn't be stopped. They were doomed!
