? "Ah!" An Yu exclaimed, raised his hand to cover his eyes, and a dazzling bright light came through his fingers. Only then did he realize that he was still in a cave in the forest. He shook his slightly heavy head and saw that it was already very bright outside the cave. The hot sunlight shot into the cave obliquely, just hitting An Yu and his upper body. You know, the cave where they live is southwest. If the sunlight can shine directly into the cave, then it will only be half afternoon.

"I've actually slept for so long!" An Yu blamed himself. He quickly got up and found that there was only him in the cave, and a fire phoenix spirit egg with a broken shell and placed on the pile of fire crystal stones. The firewood not far away had already burned into white ash. At that time, the breeze blew away, covering the whole ground. He didn't care about taking away the dust on his clothes, An Yu ran out of the cave quickly and kept shouting aimlessly in all directions: "Sister Yuanyi! Sister Yuanyi! Where are you?"

However, after shouting for a long time, letting the voice echo in the mountains, he did not get a response. An Yu walked back into the cave with loneliness and a little lost intent, standing blankly at the entrance of the cave, letting his shadow plunge into the ground in the cave, looking quite lonely. He looked around the cave and felt that he was nostalgic for a long time, full of deep memories, and unforgettable soft memories. An Yu stood quietly, thinking: "Maybe, this is a dream... When we part at this time, the world is so big, I wonder if we can meet again in this life!"

The more he thought about it, the more he sighed, An Yu became sad and sad. But suddenly he heard a "click" sound, as if the small branch was being trampled. Because his mind was only concerned with recalling the beautiful figure, An Yu did not determine the direction of the sound. He took it for granted that Yuanyi had returned, so he was extremely excited and bounced up, rushed out of the cave entrance, ready to greet him. However, he was stunned to find that the outside of the cave was still empty, and there was no white figure in his mind with his eyes closed.

"Sister Yuanyi! Are you back?" An Yu shouted several more words, but naturally he could not get a response.

"Crack!"

Another crisp sound. This time, An Yu heard it sincerely. The voice came from the cave. His face suddenly felt suspicious and thought to himself: "Can Sister Yuanyi tease me? With her strength, she can indeed come without a trace in front of me."

At this moment, An Yu walked slowly towards the cave with some expectations in his heart. He always paid attention to the situation on both sides of the cave entrance, for fear that Sister Yuanyi would sneak out again. However, the cave was still the same, and the thin layer of dust on the ground had no trace of being trampled. A feeling of loss suddenly hit his heart. An Yu felt empty inside, as if he had lost the whole world. His sadness had forgotten to check the source of the sound. It was not until another "crack" sound happened in front of him that he pulled him back from endless loneliness and thoughts. This time, An Yu clearly captured the source of the sound and couldn't help but widen his eyes, because the sound actually came from the broken spirit egg.

An Yu rubbed his eyes in disbelief and his body involuntarily leaned forward. The green-shelled spirit egg placed on the pile of red fire crystal stones was lying there quietly. The place where the collapsed shell membrane had bulged up at some point. Even without touching the fingertips, An Yu could feel the faint fluctuations of life from it.

"Living! It's true!" An Yu shouted in surprise, and was about to reach out to touch it, but the exposed shell membrane suddenly popped up a small piece from inside, and then it was almost retracted. An Yu was stunned, blinked a few times, and then expressed his joy in his words, "It turns out that this little thing is about to break out of the shell! But... Didn't Sister Yuanyi say it will take two months? How could it be...uh, premature baby?"

"Crack!"

An Yu saw that the entire spirit egg was shocked, and a shell piece on the top actually broke and fell, and a small hole appeared in the exposed shell membrane. He glanced in curiously, and it seemed that a red eye was staring at him. After a moment, he shrank in. After repeated repeated words, the little thing in the shell saw that there was no danger, he tentatively called "Jiji" twice, and it even extended a pair of bright orange, small and tender short beaks from the hole in the shell membrane.

Seeing this, An Yu also felt loving and gently touched the pair of orange beaks with his fingertips. The other party was a little scared the first two times, but on the third time, it actually pecked An Yu's fingertips gently and then quickly shrank back. Seeing that there was no danger, when it stretched out its short orange beak for the fourth time, it became unscrupulous. It held half of An Yu's little finger into its mouth, and felt that it could not be eaten, so it spit out again, pecked An Yu's fingertips with its short beak intimately, and kept shouting "chick" as if asking for food.

An Yu's heart moved, took out a few pieces of meat from the Hunyuan plate, tear off a small piece, and put it in the hole of the shell membrane. Unexpectedly, the little thing inside not only did not eat it, but instead "chiji" was even more fierce. An Yu couldn't understand it, but he felt that it was saying, "I don't want this, I don't want this!" An Yu scratched his earlobe helplessly, thinking about what the little thing meant. Suddenly, a smile appeared in his mouth, and whispered: "You, you, do you want to be lazy? Breaking out of the shell is a kind of experience, I won't help you! It depends on you all."

What is surprising is that the little thing inside seemed to understand what An Yu said. After a few "chiji" sounds, the sound is getting lower and lower, as if he is quite unwilling to accept it, and as if he is acting coquettish, then it calms down. After a while, it began to peck at the hard shell and peel off one piece of it until it pecks out a hole the size of a bowl and connects the shell membrane into one piece. After resting for a while, it pecks at the shell membrane and expands the hole that is originally as thick as a finger to the size of a fist. At this time, An Yu saw the appearance of the little thing clearly and couldn't help but sigh awkwardly: "Damn, why is it a little chick!"

Indeed, the life that appears in the spirit egg is exactly the same as a freshly born chick with fluffy all over her body. It is no different except for a little larger size and yellow-green fur! It jumped a few times before it jumped out of the hole. An Yu looked at it and its body was as big as a fist. Its back was a pair of shell-shaped wings about an inch long on its back, and its small claws were also tender and tender orange, which was very cute. Its shape is indeed much smaller than the entire spirit egg, and it should be due to less than a year old. It was a premature baby!

Standing on the empty shell, it stared at An Yu for a long time, and screamed twice, as if cheering, then kicked its legs, and the shell wings instinctively slammed twice, and then it quickly fell into An Yu's palm, wriggled for a while, then closed its eyes and fell asleep.

An Yu held it with one hand and smiled awkwardly, at a loss, not letting it go, not being convenient to hold it, and finally he had to sigh and say to himself: "I heard that beast cubs will recognize the first time they see each other as their parents, I don't know if it is true..."

This sausage of the Immortal Fire Phoenix slept very deeply, and there was no sign of awakening at all. Even if An Yu changed it from his left hand to his right hand and then on his leg, he simply stuffed it directly into his chest pocket, and the little thing didn't wake up at all. An Yu was secretly worried in his heart: "It won't leave any sequelae of sleepiness if you don't give birth prematurely!"

When he was free, An Yu went out to pick up some firewood, fetched some water and returned to the cave to make some food for himself. His stomach was indeed a little hungry. The stone pot and bamboo spoon were very useful. After a while, a rich aroma of meat came from the cave. An Yu tasted it and felt that the heat was just right, so he extinguished the firewood under the stone pot and prepared to feast. He had just put a bowl of fragrant meat in a stone bowl. When he lowered his head to enjoy it, he suddenly found that a yellow-green little head was poked out on his chest, and he was desperately stretching his short neck forward...

"Haha!" An Yu laughed dryly and said embarrassedly: "You little thing, it's time to wake up, but as a little chick, are you sure you want to eat meat?"

"Jiji!" As if he understood An Yu's words, the Fire Phoenix Cub screamed twice, raised his head and stared at An Yu. Its body was still hiding in his arms and did not come out.

An Yu tore a small piece of meat, and after blowing it, he handed it in front of it. Before he could say anything, the little green head stretched and shrank, and swallowed the piece of meat. The speed was so fast that An Yu was stunned. An Yu didn't even care about eating it, and the full bowl of meat was all in the little guy's belly! You know, although the stone bowl that An Yu carved was smaller than that of an ordinary household porcelain bowl, it could still be as good as 60% to 70%. In other words, the Fire Phoenix Persuasion Beast actually ate food that was comparable to its own body!

After eating, it slowly closed its eyes, slowly retracted into An Yu's pocket, and fell asleep again. An Yu gently lifted the protrusion on his chest and smiled: "A foodie, it seems that it is indeed less than term. I don't know how long it will last."

An Yu just made his own portion, so after being handed over a bowl, he even drank the broth clean, and then he was slightly satisfied: "You have to give it a name, so that you can call it in the future." An Yu's eyes rolled and he thought, "Since you are so able to sleep and are the spirit beast Immortal Fire Phoenix, then I'll call you... Sleeping Phoenix!"

After tidying up the cave, putting the stone pot and bowl in the corner, some useful and useless things, such as eggshells, were put into the Hunyuan Pan. An Yu looked at the place that left a deep memory for himself again, and then turned around and left reluctantly. While he was going down the mountain, he turned around and stopped in lingering, hoping that the beautiful figure would appear again, but until he walked so far that he could no longer see the top of the cave on the mountainside, the figure in white never appeared again.

"It seems that Sister Yuanyi is really leaving!" An Yu said to himself and quickly stepped up. It was getting late, and he didn't know if the Huoyunma was still there. At least before it was dark, he rushed to the official road. Otherwise, if he met a group of powerful beasts in the deep mountains and forests, it would be bumpy.

What An Yu didn't know was that after he left the cave, the figure he was expecting in white fell from the top of the mountain. Yuanyi looked at the direction where An Yu left, and his expression was filled with gloom. When she walked back to the cave, she stood silently and stood blankly. Here, what happened in this cave left An Yu with a memory that had been engraved for a lifetime, and it also left an unforgettable mark in Yuanyi's heart! She only stayed for a moment and chased An Yu's direction where An Yu left.

And with her keen perception and extraordinary speed, she quickly caught up with An Yu. She did not want to look at the other person more, but because An Yu actually hatched out the already dying spirit egg. Although the aura of the immortal fire phoenix beast on his body was very weak, it was still possible that it was discovered by its parents, the two high-level spirit birds. With An Yu's strength, if they really attacked, he would definitely not be able to escape. Therefore, Yuanyi followed him secretly to ensure his safety.

Until she walked far away, An Yu walked onto the official road and stopped. Her toes gently tapped on the branch at the top of a tall tree, and her body swayed in the breeze as the branches swayed, with her movements gentle and graceful, as if she had no weight. Her face re-hanged with the unique coldness, slowly closed her eyes, and could no longer feel the breath of the immortal fire phoenix, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.

The round chin stood on the top of the tree and looked into the distance, watching An Yu's straight back again until he disappeared at the end of the official road. Then he sighed quietly, spread his arms gently, and drifted away from the afterglow of the red sunset, leaving only a lonely branch that was trembling gently in the evening breeze.

He was not very clear about An Yu's exact location now. The official road was full of twists and turns around the mountains. He didn't even know which direction to go to, which was the direction of Songbei Town. After the red glow dissipated, the sky quickly changed from darkness to darkness. An Yu looked for a direction and just moved forward, thinking: "Even if the direction is reversed, you can't walk again."

The dark official road is very quiet. Apart from the occasional sound of insects and beasts, there is no sound. The low mountains on both sides are dark, stretching to the horizon, as if endless. After watching for a long time, people will feel inexplicable fear.

After a while, An Yu found a large empty space in front of him, which seemed to be the place where the tea shed shop was located, but there was no light. It was not until he got closer that he saw clearly the small house and the rows of tables and chairs around him. This was the abandoned tea shed he had encountered before. Although he knew that Huo Yunma would definitely be gone for so long, An Yu ran to the back of the tea shed to see what happened. Sure enough, there was nothing there. Not to mention horses, even the grass that had already been in the straw shed had disappeared.
