Chapter 394: Another One (3)

Other than the people she cared for, everyone else was like feeling clouds in her mind. They did not hold any value to her.

The Vermillion Bird within Shen Yanxiao seemed to have sensed her internal conflicts as he crossed his arms rather arrogantly and muttered, “Well, now that you know how powerful I am, let’s see if you will still dare to belittle me in the future!”

Just as Shen Yanxiao began to understand more about the magical beasts, the men in black who hid amongst the dense forest progressed with the next step in their plan.

The mercenaries had distracted the Phoenix, and it had moved away from its lair. When they thought that the time was right, the men immediately dashed toward the cave.

“It’s just as I expected. They wanted the Phoenix’s nest. What did they need that they would go after it with such risks?” Shen Yanxiao touched her chin. After the men in black left, she gulped another bottle of speed potion and followed them into the cave.

Ashes had covered the cave’s entrance. Just moments ago, those ashes had been five lively and healthy magical beasts. Unfortunately, they had been turned into ashes to merge with the soil of the earth.

Soon enough, the men entered the Phoenix’s nest. Shen Yanxiao decided to hang back to observe their actions instead.

At the very next second, another sea of fire surged from the nest, and the men in black rushed out. Their bodies had burnt marks, and the flames had swallowed a large chunk of their clothes. Fortunately, they proved to be skilled as they survived the flaming attack.

However, the sea of fire that appeared once again had exceeded everyone’s expectations.

Shen Yanxiao witnessed that scene in astonishment. Why was there another sea of fire? Had they not lure the Phoenix away?

The men in black had that same question in their minds. They had planned to use the mercenaries as a distraction to lure the Phoenix away from its nest so that they could infiltrate it. They did not expect a sudden change would ruin their perfect plan.

A massive sea of fire had welcomed them as soon as they stepped into the cave. Then, scorching flames had forced them out.

“What’s going on?” The leader was shocked by what had happened. He questioned his men furiously and without a care for his state of being.

The other men in black were also at a loss. They did not know what had happened.

However, their confusion was resolved soon enough.

Another flamethrower appeared from within the pitch-black cave, and a dazzling and elegant Phoenix suddenly flew out!

It was another Phoenix!!!

Everyone went crazy. They would never have expected another Phoenix in the cave! Furthermore, it was a mythical-level beast!

“How is this possible? There was only one Phoenix when we were here last!” One of the men panicked. Even though they had the confidence to defeat Black City’s mercenaries, they might not have the ability to break a Phoenix.

“Damn it! What kind of information did you get from that?! I might die because of you!” The leader’s expression turned ashen in an instant.

How could they withstand the fury of a mythical-level Phoenix?
