I want to protect my family, but you force me to take the lead

North.

In a vast and dense forest, the sun shines faintly through the gaps between the leaves.

Deep in this dense forest, at the base of a towering cliff, lies an unknown secret.

A mysterious figure quietly appeared here. He was wearing a black cloak, as if blending into the surrounding darkness.

The man slowly approached a huge cage, his eyes fixed on the creature inside.

In the cage was a stunning five-clawed golden dragon. It was huge, shining with golden light, majestic and domineering.

However, at this moment, the legendary dragon was full of anger and hostility. It glared at the black-robed man in front of it with sharp eyes.

The man in black robe sneered and said mockingly: "Five-clawed golden dragon? Divine dragon? Haha, it's nothing more than that."

"Hmph! How dare you, a lowly human, imprison this divine dragon!" The five-clawed golden dragon let out a low roar, the sound was deafening.

The black-robed man was not affected at all and continued to sneer, "The once majestic dragon is now just my prisoner. I thought you would be so powerful, but in the end you are so vulnerable."

After saying this, he seemed to remember something pleasant, and the curve of his mouth became more obvious.

"Are you still pinning your hopes on that so-called phoenix to save you?"

The man in black robe looked at the anger burning in the eyes of the five-clawed golden dragon and couldn't help laughing, "Hahahaha..."

"How foolish! I have already killed the phoenix and it has become a ghost in my hands. You high and mighty divine beasts are no better than this.

Now, you can only let me draw your blood obediently, and then wait for the fate of being refined by me. Once I completely merge your blood and shave off your precious dragon bones to refine and absorb, I, Mi Han, will become the master of this world! "

There was a glimmer of despair in the eyes of the five-clawed golden dragon, but more of it was unyielding anger. At the same time, there was also a glimmer of hope in his heart.

He hoped that the person Phoenix recognized was really as Phoenix said...

"You devil, don't even think about succeeding! Even without the help of the Phoenix, I will never let you succeed easily! You, Mi, are the guardian of my dragon lineage. If this dragon dies, you, Mi, will die as well!"

After roaring, it opened its huge mouth and spewed out a stream of blazing flames, trying to attack the man in black robe.

However, the man in black robe just waved his sleeves lightly and easily resisted the attack of fire.

"It's just a pointless struggle. Your strength is insignificant in front of me now, so you'd better save your energy." The man in black robe said coldly.

As the black-robed man finished speaking, a depressing atmosphere filled the entire space.

The five-clawed golden dragon knew that it was in a desperate situation, but it still held on to its last bit of dignity and refused to surrender to the enemy.

"Just wait, Great Xia Kingdom. When I become the master of this world, the first ones I will destroy will be you!" The laughter of the man in black robes echoed in the dense forest, as if foreshadowing that a terrible disaster was about to befall.

.....................

Also at the bottom of a cliff, the air was filled with the smell of death and decay.

In this silent and mysterious place, a "pheasant" covered in blood lay quietly on the ground, as if it had lost all vitality.

Its feathers were disheveled and stained with blood, and the originally bright colors had now become dull. Although it looked lifeless, strangely, no wild animal dared to approach it.

If someone happened to pass by here at this time, he would surely exclaim "Incredible"!

Time passes by minute by minute, as if testing the toughness and tenacity of this "pheasant".

Finally, the "pheasant" that had been motionless began to move. It slowly raised its head and moved its trembling claws with difficulty. Every movement seemed so strenuous that it seemed like it might fall down at any time, but it still persisted.

Gradually, it used all its strength to stand up. Although its body was still shaky, it successfully stood up.

At this moment, it realized that it was still alive.

Its eyes swept around and fell on the wild fruits and herbs scattered on the ground. A hint of barely perceptible hostility flashed in its small eyes.

It staggered towards the wild fruits and herbs, and then swallowed a few wild fruits and some herbs. These foods gave it some strength and restored its spirits a little.

Finally, it slowly lay on the ground again, closed its eyes, and adjusted its breathing and state...

As it adjusted its breathing, a ball of fire appeared on the "pheasant" until it was completely enveloped by the fire...

at the same time.

The system's voice sounded in Qin Nuan's mind.

[Host, the Phoenix is ​​reborn from the ashes. There are many dangers there. Please contact the Guardian of the Divine Phoenix immediately.]

Qin Nuan, who was running fast, paused. Guardian of the Divine Phoenix?

Isn’t that Bai Yichen?

She quickly took out the red stone that Bai Yichen had given her, bit her finger and squeezed out a drop of blood to drip on it, then said anxiously: "Bai Yichen, the Phoenix Rebirth Land is full of dangers and needs your help."

Just as he finished speaking, he saw a flash of red light on the stone, and then it returned to calm, as if nothing had happened just now.

Hearing Qin Nuan's words, Xiaoyaozi's heart was shocked, and he asked in surprise: "Nuan girl, do you know the Guardian of the Divine Phoenix?"

"Master, this is a long story. I will talk to you in detail another day."

"Okay." Xiaoyaozi knew that this was not the time to talk about this, so he responded and continued to fly...

Swish~~~~

As he was flying, a beam of light came slashing down.

Directly hit Xiaoyaozi and Qin Nuan.

Xiaoyaozi's face turned cold and he dodged the light strike very swiftly.

At the same time, a pair of sharp eyes became more alert than before.

"Master, don't worry. I have almost recovered." Feeling Xiaoyaozi's concern for her, Qin Nuan spoke quickly.

"Okay. Be careful. If those people dare to come over, you just use the explosive talisman to blast them. Master has already dealt with the person who used the secret trick." Seeing that Qin Nuan's face was much rosier than before, Xiaoyaozi breathed a sigh of relief and then gave instructions.

"Okay. Master, be careful."

Bang~clang~clang

With a wave of his hand, Xiaoyaozi's sword flew out, and then collided with the opponent's attack in mid-air, emitting a strong energy vibration.

"Who are you?" Seeing that his attack was broken by Xiaoyaozi, the hiding figure stood up.

Xiaoyaozi did not answer, but looked at the other party carefully, and then said coldly: "Are you trying to stop us from going on?"

"Unfortunately, you can't stop it!"

After saying that, he used his Qi to control the sword and hit the opponent directly...
