On the cliff Face.
In the Fire Luan’s nest.
Little Red hadn’t fully recovered, huddling in a corner, afraid to move.
It was a snake, with an Innate fear of raptors.
Not to mention.
This Fire Luan before him was considered one of the strongest types of raptors.
Looking at the curled-up Little Red.
The Fire Luan chuckled and gently flapped a wing.
A piece of foul-smelling bloody meat flew onto Little Red’s body.
Little Red extended its forked tongue to test it, and exclaimed in surprise, “Heart-tip meat of a Poisonous Wolf?!”
“It’s good for your Cultivation, eat it~”
“This is too precious, no, I…” Little Red was a bit flustered, subconsciously looking at the Puppet Soldier.
Li Zhuo controlled the Puppet Soldier to nod.
The Fire Luan also added, “Consider it my apology~”
Only then did Little Red accept the piece of meat.
It rolled it with its tail and put it into its mouth.
Then, it squinted its eyes and lay in the nest, looking lazy and content.
The Little Squirrel, on the other hand, looked at the Fire Luan with fiery eyes, waving its fists and shouting, “We came to ask you to help us fight! There’s an old snake… Oh, pine nuts?!”
Seeing the nuts the Fire Luan handed over, the Little Squirrel’s eyes lit up.
It hugged the pine nuts with its two small paws and gnawed away happily.
Having dealt with the mischievous Little Squirrel.
The Fire Luan finally became serious.
It spread its wings, along with its tail feathers and head.
Pressing them tightly against the nest.
“No words can express my gratitude. From today onwards, the Crimson Luan Clan will be at your command!”
Li Zhuo knew.
This was the complete submission of a spiritual bird.
He also became serious, controlling the small Puppet Soldier to jump onto the Fire Luan’s head.
He stacked his hands and gently patted the bird’s head three times.
He accepted the Fire Luan’s submission.
Then.
Li Zhuo began to explain about the safe point.
“Yes, I swear by the Heavenly Dao, I am willing to guard this territory for my benefactor! If I harbor any disloyalty, may I be struck down by heavenly lightning!” The Fire Luan’s expression was solemn as it swore an oath to the Heavenly Dao.
For beings with Cultivation, every action naturally affects the Heavenly Dao.
As the Fire Luan made its vow.
A mysterious aura seemed to appear, descending upon the Fire Luan.
This was the Heavenly Dao acknowledging the oath.
“Good!”
Establishing the first safe point so easily.
Li Zhuo was very satisfied.
Then.
He also set a time with the Fire Luan.
One month later, they would go to the Red Snake Clan’s territory.
To kill the Chi She Clan Leader and seize the spiritual plants!
The Fire Luan naturally agreed.
“Try to be careful when you come, and don’t attract the prying eyes of other powerful enemies.”
Li Zhuo looked at the new wounds on the Fire Luan’s body.
He sighed softly.
Clearly.
This large Fire Luan was not a peaceful creature either.
However, Li Zhuo also understood.
To heal its child, the Fire Luan had taken many treasures from powerful beings.
It was not difficult to understand that occasionally enemies would come knocking, leading to a fight.
Upon hearing Li Zhuo’s words.
The Fire Luan immediately nodded: “Yes!”
With the safe point established and the plans for a month later agreed upon.
Li Zhuo let out a long breath, his mood relaxing.
At this moment.
Little Red had also completely absorbed the heart-tip meat of the Poisonous Wolf.
Li Zhuo sensed the remaining magical power within the Puppet Soldier.
And was about to bid farewell.
However, the Fire Luan spoke, “Could I ask you to stay for another half-day? I wish to invite you to witness my child’s hatching with me.”
“But if that happens, the little Luan bird will automatically recognize me as its master!”
For spiritual birds.
The moment of hatching.
Is when it receives the baptism of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and senses all things in the world.
It is the most important time.
The little spiritual bird also has an extreme fondness for the first living being it senses upon hatching.
And will recognize it as its master!
The Fire Luan inviting Li Zhuo to witness the little Fire Luan’s hatching at this time.
Naturally also had the intention of having it recognize him as its master.
After a brief silence, Li Zhuo agreed, “Alright.”
The Fire Luan chirped twice, expressing its joy.
Then it directly led Li Zhuo’s Puppet Soldier to where the eggs were placed.
Li Zhuo controlled the Puppet Soldier, releasing all the stored magical power.
Gently enveloping the innermost egg.
The so-called sensing of a living being, of course, was not done with eyes.
But with magical power fluctuations.
Therefore.
As long as Li Zhuo controlled the Puppet Soldier and touched the little Fire Luan with magical power.
He could naturally become the master of the little Fire Luan bird.
The Fire Luan watched this scene silently, its Face filled with joy and anticipation.
After a long while.
The Fire Luan gently flapped a wing.
A sudden cracking sound also came from within the egg.
At the very top.
A small crack appeared.
At the same time.
The spiritual branches laid beneath the egg seemed to be pulled by something.
They actually trembled slightly.
And released a rich Spiritual Qi, swirling around the egg.
As if searching for something.
When the Spiritual Qi spread to the crack, it finally found a Breakthrough point.
It surged into the egg along the crack.
The Innate Qi within the egg simultaneously rose, combining with the Spiritual Qi that entered it.
Finally, it merged into the body of the tiny Fire Luan.
This process lasted for a full half-day.
Until the Spiritual Qi in the branches was completely depleted, and the egg quieted down.
After another moment.
Li Zhuo’s mind stirred.
Crack!
The crack broke.
A fluffy, wet little bird’s head squeezed out from the opening of the egg.
“Chirp, chirp~”
Sensing the magical power spreading outside the egg, the little bird let out joyful chirping sounds.
And looked at the Puppet Soldier not far away with its small eyes.
Its Face full of curiosity.
At the same time.
The feeling of a Bloodline connection also made it look towards the Fire Luan.
“Chirp, chirp~”
“Chirp, chirp~”
The little bird chirped and struggled, seemingly wanting its mother to help it.
Crack!
Crack!
“Chirp, chirp~”
In its impatience.
The little bird not only chirped but also spewed a faint ball of flame.
And as it struggled, the egg finally shattered completely.
The little bird flapped its wings, pushing away the obstructive eggshells.
And stumbled towards the Fire Luan.
The Fire Luan’s eyes were filled with tears.
It spread its wings to embrace the little one, placing it beside its cheek.
Gently rubbing its child with its downy feathers.
“Chirp, chirp~ Mommy~”
“Chirp, chirp~ Mommy~”
The little one was very intelligent and lively.
Chirping non-stop.
After a moment of intimacy with the Fire Luan, the little one struggled to jump down again.
It wobbled over to the Puppet Soldier.
“Chirp, chirp~ Master~”
“Chirp, chirp~ Master~”
Li Zhuo in his Puppet Soldier state was even smaller than the little bird.
But he could clearly feel the little bird’s attachment.
Controlling the Puppet Soldier, he stroked the little bird’s head.
Li Zhuo said with a smile, “Grow up quickly, and when you truly see me, I’ll give you a big welcome gift~”
The little bird didn’t quite understand Li Zhuo’s words, but it could also feel its master’s joy.
It chirped non-stop.
And flapped its small wings, hopping around.
“This child has the strongest Bloodline, so it hatched the earliest.”
The Fire Luan held up the little bird, gently nuzzled it, then looked at Li Zhuo,
“This child doesn’t have a name yet, please, Benefactor, give it a name.”
The Little Squirrel quickly extended its paws: “Don’t…”
It had spent a lot of effort to reject the names “Little Brown” and “Little Squirrel.”
For the sake of the pine nuts, it didn’t want this little bird to also fall into a pit of fire.
Even Little Red’s body stiffened, as if remembering something unpleasant.
Li Zhuo naturally wouldn’t be polite.
He had noticed when he was treating the three eggs that this egg’s stats were significantly higher than the other two.
It truly had a powerful Bloodline.
Looking at the lively little bird before him, Li Zhuo said with a smile, “A little fire-attribute spiritual bird, and so active, how about we call it…”
“Little Fire~”
“…”
“Li-Little Guo? Good, good name…”
