Chapter 278 Zhong Lingxin, who was one step ahead, kept getting ahead.
Zhong Lingxin was on the verge of tears.
Her friends, each one of them was a precious gem to her.
She never wanted to see her suffering friends go through such a terrible ordeal.
Hearing the trembling, mournful cry of the phoenix zither, Zhong Lingxin was filled with anxiety.
Huanhuan and Xiaoxiao were both extremely anxious.
Ignoring their scalded paws, the two little ones frantically swung their paws at the bright red lava in front of them, channeling their spiritual energy.
Zhong Lingxin, disregarding the burns to her divine sense, directly transferred the magma into the Nine-Story Pagoda.
Zhong Chun, inside the Nine-Story Pagoda, led his friends in a relay to pour the lava into the northwest corner and pile it up.
The blackness on the phoenix harp was expanding; she no longer had the strength to even tremble.
One after another, fiery snakes crawled up the phoenix egg, tightly constricting it, making it unable to struggle any longer, and unable to breathe in the scorching flames.
The zither and the egg could only cling tightly to each other, shielding each other from the fiery snakes' coiling and biting.
The connection between Zhong Lingxin and the Phoenix Harp was getting weaker and weaker, and in her consciousness, the Phoenix Harp had turned into a phantom.
This made Zhong Lingxin's heart sink to the bottom. While calling out to Phoenix Harp to hold on, she poured the lava into the Nine-Story Pagoda even faster.
Huanhuan and Xiaoxiao's paws were scalded raw, and the blood on their white bones hadn't even had a chance to flow before it was dried by the high temperature.
The two little ones didn't care about anything else; they just kept digging and digging, heads down, gritting their teeth, digging without uttering a sound.
Zhong Lingxin tried several times to recklessly dump the underground magma and fire serpents into the Nine-Story Pagoda, but Zhong Chun and Lele stopped her each time.
No, we can't mess with it, otherwise the entire underground will collapse, which will surely alert the old monsters above.
At that time, Zhong Lingxin will most likely not be able to escape, and all her friends will die here.
Lele flew in front of Huanhuan and Xiaoxiao.
Almost there, almost there, she could already feel the phoenix eggs ahead.
She only needed to get closer to cover them and deliver a powerful blow to the fire serpents.
Damn it, there are too many fire snakes here, so many that she can hardly pass through them. If even she gets entangled by the fire snakes, then Phoenix Harp will have an even harder time rescuing her.
It's almost here, it's getting closer...
Feeling Xinxin's approach, the Phoenix Harp mustered her courage and rang out twice with all her might, flicking off two of the fire snakes from the phoenix eggs.
Huanhuan suddenly let out a roar and swung out a claw.
Beside her, Xiaoxiao also let out a roar and swung out a claw.
Hundreds of fire snakes rushed towards them.
These fire snakes, spitting out reddish-black venom like a foul-smelling red rain, sprayed towards Huanhuan and Xiaoxiao.
Zhong Lingxin saw it clearly, and with a thought, she collected the fire snake and the venomous rain into the Nine-Story Pagoda.
Zhong Chun had already dismissed his friends and made a big pit, putting the fire snake and the venom rain into it.
Both the Phoenix Harp and the Phoenix Harp were over a hundred feet away.
Zhong Lingxin's mind stirred, and she took Huanhuan and Xiaoxiao into the Nine-Story Pagoda, then put the fire snakes and fire molten lava in front of her...
Put everything in front of her into the nine-story tower.
While loading, he teleported forward instantly.
The fire serpents sensed danger.
Countless fire serpents sprayed countless raindrops of venom at Zhong Lingxin.
Zhong Lingxin focused intently on collecting, silently chanting "collect, collect, collect."
The phoenix egg sensed the joy of the phoenix zither and offered no resistance when Zhong Lingxin's divine sense took it in. It was taken into the Nine-Story Pagoda by Zhong Lingxin along with the phoenix zither.
The fire serpent that entered the Nine-Story Pagoda was easily swatted away from the phoenix egg and the phoenix zither by Zhong Lingxin with a single thought, landing on the cool ground where it rolled and hissed in pain.
Zhong Lingxin returned the way she came.
Although there were many spiritual treasures underground, she couldn't care less.
She was worried about the injury to the Phoenix Harp.
Fortunately, returning the way we came was quick.
Zhong Lingxin returned to the hole she had dug in just a few days.
She lay down at the entrance of the cave and listened quietly.
With the array plate providing cover, no one noticed her.
Soon, she heard the sounds of cultivators searching the mountain.
"Damn it, the phoenix is gone."
"They've gone back underground, haven't they? The ancestors have all gone down to check."
"They should have gone back underground. If it were me, I would have gone back too. There are hundreds of ancestors who have reached the Great Ascension stage. Let alone a newly born little phoenix, even a phoenix at the peak of the ninth rank would not be able to escape."
"They told us to patrol this area, but there are more cultivators than demonic beasts in this vast area. I really don't know what's so great about patrolling."
"Investigate, investigate, it's an order from our ancestors."
"Ugh! What a hassle! We didn't get a share of the phoenix, not even a single feather, and we've been running around for months. What a mess!"
"Stop making sarcastic remarks, are you out of your mind! Inspect carefully, don't overlook any clues."
……
Zhong Lingxin was secretly anxious.
If those venerable ancestors who have undergone tribulation descend underground to investigate, they will surely be able to find the hole she dug.
Fortunately, she was meticulous in her work and kept her breath very clean the whole way.
But if she doesn't get out quickly, she'll be blocked at the cave entrance by a group of old monsters who have undergone tribulation.
The monks patrolling outside the cave entrance were still cursing and swearing.
Zhong Lingxin affixed invisibility and concealment talismans and quietly prepared.
After a long time, silence returned to the cave entrance, with only the sound of gusts of mountain wind blowing.
Zhong Lingxin abruptly withdrew the protective array, darted out of the cave, crushed two teleportation talismans in each hand, and ran away following one of the teleportation talismans.
The cultivators who heard the commotion nearby hurriedly flew back to investigate, only to find a scene of utter devastation in the valley.
Two cultivators reacted quickly and chased after the missing person using a teleportation talisman.
Unfortunately, it's too late.
Before Zhong Lingxin could even land and steady herself, she crushed four more teleportation talismans and escaped with one of them.
She kept crushing the four teleportation talismans.
On Mount Luofeng, the light of teleportation talismans flashed everywhere.
These rays of light were irregular and directionless, scattering endlessly in all directions.
All the venerable ancestors who had undergone tribulation were exploring underground.
The Mahayana ancestors who remained at the crater knew something had happened, and they quickly followed the trail of light from the teleportation talisman.
The teleportation talisman produced too many streams of light, quickly scattering the Mahayana ancestors.
Zhong Lingxin, who was one step ahead of the opportunity, kept moving faster and faster.
After unleashing dozens of teleportation talismans, the person fell into the Falling Phoenix River with the last teleportation talisman.
The mighty Luofeng River is currently experiencing its flood season. The river is twice as wide as usual, and the current is much faster than usual, roaring downstream.
The two Mahayana cultivators who chased each other to the banks of the Luofeng River looked at the river, then at each other, and simultaneously took out their communication talismans.
They are not capable of tracking down the cultivators or demonic beasts taken away by the teleportation talisman in the Falling Phoenix River, so let's leave it to the ancestors to handle.
Soon, the group of tribulation-crossing ancestors angrily grabbed several fire snakes each and retreated from the Flaming Mouth, gathering together by the Falling Phoenix River.
