Boiling Beast Bloodline-Chapter 2171 - 668: Preparing for Battle [Part 2]_3
"Hehe, Elder, you’re really wicked, coming up with this kind of idea?"
"Hitting your wife on a rainy day, idle hands are the devil’s playground. With your skills, your success rate is absolutely one hundred percent!" Elder Cruyff snickered. "Rest assured, the Phoenix wouldn’t fall out with you over a few sycamore trees. You’re the strongest Aegean Overlord of our time!"
Such words are tremendously provocative to a simpleton. Fortunately, the Aegean Dragons prefer to live in clean mountain caves; if the Dragon Clan also liked living on magic plants like the Phoenix, Old Liu would probably have the entire Dragon Clan of two cities camping in the streets.
Taking advantage of the magic teleportation array, Old Liu faced no trouble arriving in Phoenix City.
The Phoenix’s base camp is nestled in the heart of the Sunset Swamp, far removed from the civilized world by eight thousand miles. The geographical landscape is quite beautiful—a small island in the middle of a lake, surrounded by lush giant cattails, with vast misty waves in the distance merging with the sky—a breathtaking scenery. Unlike Dragon City, which stands atop a mountain shrouded in clouds, Phoenix City doesn’t intentionally cultivate an aura of mystery. Exquisite beauty is Old Liu’s first impression of the Phoenix’s lair.
The chief elder of the Phoenix Clan, accompanied by seventeen phoenixes from Phoenix City, respectfully welcomed this top Aegean master. Apart from Philin the Shangyang from Feilen City, Mourinho’s Fire Phoenix and Ice Phoenix, Jingwei recruited by an Elven warrior, and the ten stationed phoenixes across other regions, today’s lineup nearly represents their full strength on the Aegean Continent.
Unlike the strictly hierarchical Dragon Clan, the Phoenix Clan values equality. There is no city lord or higher-ranking phoenix in their city, the eldest elder, Leo Ferdinand, is the nominal highest leader. On the surface, the Phoenix seems less powerful compared to the Giant Dragons. Yet, it’s noteworthy that besides the seventeen phoenixes, Phoenix City includes a considerable number of golden and silver unicorns, Nikola Giant Tortoises, Deepwater Rock Pythons, and Magic Vultures. Additionally, the ten phoenixes stationed elsewhere each have their magical beast subordinates; thus, Phoenix City’s strength holds hidden mysteries that cannot be judged by conventional logic.
"Master Richard, your visit brings great colors to Arizona Lake." Elder Ferdinand, a fifth-rank undying bird with emerald-green spiral eyebrows, is known as "Qingluan." Naturally adept at earth magic, it self-studies sand and stone magic, making it a top master of earth and its subspecies magic; among the four humanoid phoenixes in Phoenix City, its understanding of magic is unsurpassed.
"You’re too kind." Old Liu’s shifty eyes darted around. The island occupied by the Phoenixes was full of towering trees, with cattail leaves larger than a hand, bigger than even the giant blue wormwood, and reeds as thick as bamboo stalks—at one point, Old Liu mistook them for variant sugarcane. Enveloped in this massive green treasure trove, Old Liu searched repeatedly but couldn’t spot any sycamore trees.
The Phoenix emissary, Cen Kailun, who personally went to the Red Earth Highland to congratulate the Crown Prince’s birth in Feilen, also blushingly greeted Old Liu.
This delicate Phoenix lady recently caused an international joke while visiting Feilen as a guest. At that time, Old Liu was busy mingling with envoys from all corners and didn’t notice Cen Kailun brought by Philin. Daisy and Ruona, those mischievous Dragon Clan women, wanting to humble the Phoenixes, secretly pulled Old Liu aside, pointed to the Phoenix lady Cen Kailun, and bet that if Old Liu could make her cry with one sentence, they’d agree to any of his demands.
Cen Kailun restrained her elemental fluctuations, which misled Old Liu into thinking she was some noble’s pretty honey. During the leisure of the Cold War era, Old Liu went wild every night; the bet from Daisy and Nana was too tempting to resist.
Philin had just stepped away briefly, leaving Cen Kailun standing by the refreshment table, savoring the delicious cheese made by Halfling chefs. As she contemplated how to word her meeting with the Great Magician Saint Xiao, an unbearably crude voice boomed in her ear: "Your skin isn’t as delicate as the cheese, yet you have the nerve to eat it?"
Cen Kailun’s mind went blank, forgetting any magic, standing there crying like a pear blossom bathed in spring rain.
This incident was so embarrassing that both sides blushed at their next meeting.
"Master Richard, your unsparing visit to our humble city, are you representing Dragon City to meet with us..." Elder Ferdinand looked suspiciously at this Piegel Beamon, his expression slightly displeased though he tried to hide it: "Or... is it that you plan to invite us to visit Dragon City?"
The elder Phoenix had only heard tales of the Great Magician Saint Xiao. Seeing him today was indeed no different from the legends—he didn’t resemble a Piegel; he was more like a silver-eyed demon clan with a burly physique. His shoulder bore a chubby Frosty Pichu, his young and wicked face, eyes unrestrained, glittering with plundering and bloodthirsty cold light.
Take a look at the kind of people he brought to Phoenix City?
Besides a large group of Shepherd-tree People with indifferent expressions and massive builds, who occasionally pressed their earpieces, scanning the surroundings warily with cold eyes under sunglasses, there were dozens of dwarves hidden under large cloaks, always looking around with a demeanor ready to commit outrages.
It wasn’t just the strong magical resonance and sneaky temperament of the dwarves that concerned the Phoenixes. Still, these indistinct figures occasionally let furry paws slip from their sleeves, making the Phoenixes furious—after all, Phoenix City is sanctified by tens of thousands of magical beasts. How could the Great Magician Saint Xiao bring these lowly subspecies creatures so easily?
