Chapter 1129: Chapter 1128: Pure Land
Ba Lv picked up a small bead from the table and tossed it towards the Flaming Firebird.
Although the Flaming Firebird was absorbed in the baby wolves’ fight, she was, after all, an extraordinary bird.
Without even looking, the Flaming Firebird stretched her neck, opened her beak, and swallowed the bead Ba Lv had thrown.
Only then did the Flaming Firebird find a moment to call out proudly towards Ba Lv before turning her attention back to the baby wolves’ tussle.
Ba Lv laughed; she knew why the Flaming Firebird was feeling so proud.
In the past, when they were bored, they would use small snacks to tease the Flaming Firebird.
Their snacks ranged from little bits of beans to small chunks of meat thrown towards the Flaming Firebird. If she caught them, there would be an extra reward.
If she didn’t catch them, not only would she not get anything to eat, but she could also end up being caged.
No creature likes to be locked in a cage, least of all the Flaming Firebird.
Whenever she was caged, she would act crazed, squawking loudly, eager for them to release her.
In every attempt, the Flaming Firebird could effortlessly catch whatever Yanran and Ba Lv threw, no matter the speed or angle.
This was why she was so proud in front of Ba Lv.
They hadn’t played this little game for many days.
Look at you, so capable! Ba Lv tossed another bead over, and just like before, the Flaming Firebird caught it right away.
Ba Lv’s competitive spirit ignited, and she grabbed a handful of little beads from the table to throw at the Flaming Firebird.
The Flaming Firebird didn’t miss a beat, her body twisting, her beak moved swiftly left and right, and at the very last moment the bead nearly touched the ground, her sharp beak snagged it.
Ba Lv watched in awe, not knowing when the Flaming Firebird acquired such a skill.
The Flaming Firebird stood straight, deliberately raising her neck high, and swallowed the bead with an exaggerated posture.
Flaming Firebird squawked loudly. If birds could laugh, this squawk would have been a big laugh.
As Ba Lv was preparing to throw again, the Flaming Firebird fell onto the floor from the table.
Yanran, who was lying on a chair and watching the baby wolves play, turned her head nonchalantly, scolding the Flaming Firebird: "What, you want to join them too? Don’t you see how grown you are now, trying to bully them?"
The Flaming Firebird lay still.
"Get up!" Yanran gently nudged the Flaming Firebird with her foot: "Hey!"
The Flaming Firebird didn’t react at all. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
Yanran hurriedly got up, picked up the Flaming Firebird: "Alice! Alice, Ba Lv muttered guiltily.
The Flaming Firebird’s neck drooped weakly in Yanran’s hands: "Alice, what’s wrong! Wake up!" Her voice now carried a hint of sobbing.
Jiang Cheng heard the change in Yanran’s voice and rushed over, reaching out his hand close to the Flaming Firebird’s body, sensing her internal state.
After a while he said: "I feel something changing inside her, hmm, there’s a power, as if it’s trying to break out of her body, wanting to emerge."
...
Although Jiang Cheng spoke indirectly, Yanran understood the meaning behind his words.
The nice words about the Flaming Firebird’s power bursting forth actually meant
the Flaming Firebird’s body might explode, right? If that happened, would the Flaming Firebird still survive?
How could such a thing happen all of a sudden? Jiang Cheng knew clearly how important the Flaming Firebird was to Yanran.
On the Nameless Planet, the Flaming Firebird was Yanran’s only playmate. They had been together since the Flaming Firebird was just a bird.
In such a harsh environment as the Nameless Planet, this human and bird formed a profound friendship. During Yanran’s adventures, the Flaming Firebird had rescued her on more than one occasion, and just recently on this Ice and Snow Continent, the Flaming Firebird had saved her from the jaws of a beast.
That day, if not for the Flaming Firebird, Yanran would either die in the jaws of that monster or freeze to death in a blizzard, with no other options.
Even now, Jiang Cheng would remember the Flaming Firebird spreading her wings to shield Yanran under them.
Yanran was equally vulnerable to the cold and snow, yet for the sake of her master, she allowed the snow to cover her body.
For such a fierce yet loyal pet, even the well-traveled Jiang Cheng felt deeply moved.
"It was me." Ba Lv spoke hesitantly, knowing she’d caused big trouble.
If the Flaming Firebird really got harmed, how would she face Yanran in the future?
You?" Both Jiang Cheng and Yanran widened their eyes in surprise.
"What did you do to Alice? Tell us!" Yanran urged Ba Lv anxiously.
"I was teasing her with the beads from the table. At first, I didn’t pay attention to what they were, just now I took a closer look, those beads are, are Flying Dragon’s crystals." Ba Lv spoke timidly.
"But, even the experts don’t know their effects yet, how could you give them to Alice?" Yanran was a little angry.
"I didn’t really look, just casually grabbed them from the table and tossed them to Alice," Ba Lv muttered, almost tearful now.
"Yanran, I really didn’t mean it."
Ba Lv accidentally used Flying Dragon’s crystals as toys for the Flaming Firebird, resulting in her swallowing all those crystals.
Unexpectedly, after swallowing those beads, the Flaming Firebird fell into a coma.
According to Jiang Cheng’s observation, a strong power was surging inside the Flaming Firebird. If measures weren’t taken promptly, this power would explode.
And the Flaming Firebird would undoubtedly perish under this force.
Both Jiang Cheng and Yanran understood how vital the Flaming Firebird was to Yanran.
Thus, they had to leave to help the Flaming Firebird survive the impending danger.
Alright, no need to say more, as long as we know the cause of the Flaming Firebird’s condition," Jiang Cheng stopped Ba Lv from speaking further.
Time is precious; thinking of a solution to resolve the crisis within the Flaming Firebird is the most important thing.
Jiang Cheng reached out once again to examine the force within the Flaming Firebird.
The force continued to grow, and the previously still Flaming Firebird was now breathing rapidly, her heartbeat quickening.
If not for Yanran holding her tightly, the Flaming Firebird might have started struggling on the ground.
The situation has become extremely urgent now.
"Bring me the blue crystals you have," said Jiang Cheng as he cleared a clean space on the table.
Receiving the blue crystals handed over by Ba Lv, Jiang Cheng placed them on the table and gently pressed his hand down, turning the crystals into powder.
Jiang Cheng didn’t delay for a minute, opening the Flaming Firebird’s beak and pouring the powder inside.
Meanwhile, he pressed his hand against the Flaming Firebird’s body, focusing intently on the changes within her.
