Chapter 227 Do you know my origins?
Su Qing continued to absorb the flames. After about a quarter of an hour, Su Qing told Zeng Wenyu that the flames in its body had been saturated. Even if the consciousness of the Three-legged Golden Crow still allowed it to absorb, it could no longer absorb the flames.
At this time, Su Qing's body was no longer the pure white color as before. Because it absorbed a large amount of the flames of the Three-legged Golden Crow, the color of its body took on some red, and it changed from the original pure white to a light pink. However, the power of the flames in its body increased by who knows how many times. Moreover, according to Su Qing himself, once it completely refined all the flames absorbed in its body, its body would return to pure white again.
Zeng Wenyu nodded. He did not let Su Qing return to his body. He still held Xiao Meng in his arms. Xiao Meng's body temperature did not increase much in this quarter of an hour, but it was still increasing slowly due to the surrounding temperature. Zeng Wenyu needed Su Qing to help him keep Xiao Meng's body temperature normal so that he could continue to go deeper into the woods.
Su Qing lay on Zeng Wenyu's shoulder, and the excess temperature in Xiao Meng's body was continuously absorbed by it along Zeng Wenyu's body. The excess temperature in Zeng Wenyu, Xiaoxue and Xiaoli's bodies was also absorbed. For a moment, the man and three animals felt a lot cooler.
It was at this time that Xiaoxue and Xiaoli poked their heads out. Although the two little ones could hold out longer than Xiaomeng and endure higher temperatures than Xiaomeng, this was because their cultivation was higher than Xiaomeng and the blood in their bodies was also higher than Xiaomeng's. But this did not mean that they were not hot. If Su Qing had not absorbed the excess temperature in their bodies, they would not have come out now.
After seeing that Xiao Meng and the two little ones were fine, and feeling that there was nothing wrong with their bodies, Zeng Wenyu continued to walk deeper into the woods.
With Su Qing here, the temperature here is no longer threatening. The further you go inside, the more trees you can see growing in flames.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Zeng Wenyu finally saw his senior brother again. He was lying on the ground, dying. His body temperature was very high. The high temperature had made his body mature, and it was obvious that he had no chance of survival.
Hearing Zeng Wenyu's footsteps, the senior brother's eyes moved, but unfortunately his eyes could not see clearly due to the high temperature, and he could only vaguely see a blurry figure.
"Alas... why bother? Instead of being so persistent, you should have really left with your junior brother at that time. In this way, the two of you might have gained more here."
When the senior brother heard Zeng Wenyu's words, he just opened his mouth slightly. All the organs in his body had lost their function due to the high temperature, and he couldn't even speak.
Zeng Wenyu shook his head and walked past the senior brother. He was not here to mock him. If it were not for Su Qing, he would not have been able to get here. If Su Qing really did not help, he would have chosen to turn around and leave decisively when Xiaoxue and Xiaoli could not bear it anymore. After all, the three-legged golden crow was a divine bird, and no one in this world could hurt it. As long as it did not leave, there would always be a chance to see it again in the future. Unfortunately, this senior brother did not know about this. He just thought that there was some treasure here.
Behind Zeng Wenyu, the senior brother gradually died with a look of guilt towards his junior brother on his face.
With Su Qing's help, Zeng Wenyu's speed was much faster than before. However, after walking for another ten minutes, the temperature around him was too high for him to bear even with Su Qing's help, not to mention that there was no trace of the Three-legged Golden Crow here, and no one knew how deep the forest was.
“Forget it, let’s just slip away. It seems that this is not the right time to go and see the Three-legged Golden Crow. I’ll come back when my cultivation is higher.” Looking silently into the depths of the woods, Zeng Wenyu finally gave up moving forward.
"Brother... why do you want to see the three-legged crow you mentioned?" Xiao Meng had been carried by Zeng Wenyu for such a long time that she had gotten used to it and was not so shy anymore. "Uncle clan leader has always said that this is not a place we should come to because it is very dangerous."
Zeng Wenyu turned around and walked outside while answering Xiao Meng: "Because the three-legged golden crow is the sun in the mythology that I know. It is a divine bird, an ancient god, and the child of the great gods Xihe and Dijun."
"Do you know where I come from?" Zeng Wenyu had just finished talking to Xiao Meng when he heard a voice talking next to him.
Zeng Wenyu paused suddenly and turned his head to look around.
"Don't look for me anymore. I'm not by your side. We are very far apart. I am only communicating with you through my spiritual consciousness. I am the three-legged golden crow you want to see," the voice sounded in Zeng Wenyu's ears again. "Do you know where I came from? I have been sleeping here for a long time. The injury in my spiritual consciousness has made me forget many things."
Zeng Wenyu paused, thought for a moment, and then answered the three-legged crow: "According to the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", Xihe was the wife of Emperor Jun and gave birth to ten suns. There was Fusang on the top of Tang Valley, where the ten suns bathed. It was located to the north of Heichi. In the water, there was a big tree, with nine suns on the lower branches and one on the upper branches. There was Fusang on the top of Tang Valley, with one sun arriving and one sun leaving, all carried by the crow."
"Fuso? I seem to remember that I did live on a tree before, but because of the war, I ended up being seriously injured and fell here."
Zeng Wenyu was somewhat shocked. He exclaimed, "What kind of war could cause someone like you to be seriously injured and fall here?"
"I don't remember. I only remember that the human race and the demon race, led by several great gods, fought against someone. I was ambushed during the battle, and the enemy tore open space and knocked me down to this world. I can't remember anything else."
Zeng Wenyu was silent. A war that could sneak attack and bring the Three-legged Golden Crow down to this world and cause such injuries to Him was not something Zeng Wenyu could participate in. Moreover, how many people could be called great gods by the Three-legged Golden Crow? What kind of war was it that required the human race and the demon race to unite to fight under their leadership?
But Zeng Wenyu did not ask more questions. He knew that it was useless to ask more questions. That kind of war was not something he could interfere with. He was not even qualified to be a cannon fodder. Moreover, sometimes knowing too much would not do him any good.
"Since you know me and have told me my origins, then you must be from the same place as me, otherwise you wouldn't know this. I am seriously injured now, and I can't give you anything else. I can only help boost the flame in your body. Don't worry, I will protect you and the three monsters."
As soon as the three-legged golden crow finished speaking, a huge amount of heat flew out from the depths of the woods, and a trace of hot flame instantly penetrated into the body of Su Qing on Zeng Wenyu's shoulder. Then a large amount of flame emerged from Su Qing's body. At the same time, a light shield enveloped Zeng Wenyu, Xiao Meng, Xiao Xue and Xiao Li, separating Su Qing from them.
