The game starts with escaping from the famine and flipping the table

Su Xiaoya is really quite curious.

"Three-legged Golden Crow..." Su Xiaoya's fingertips unconsciously twisted the cloud pattern embroidery thread on her cuffs. Her voice was as light as cotton wool blown away by the wind. Her almond-shaped eyes were wide open, and her eyes were full of confusion that could not be concealed.

She has lived two lives. Whether it was when she obtained the inheritance of the witch clan on Qingyuan Star and learned some of the witch clan's secrets, or when she was on Lanxing Star, she found the witch and demon calamity and related information on the Internet, which made her full of curiosity about the three-legged golden crow.

There are really too many different legends.

In the oldest tortoise shell rubbings and animal skin scrolls, there have been sporadic records about the three-legged golden crow - an ancient existence on par with the dragon clan that overturns rivers and seas and the phoenix that is reborn from Nirvana.

The Three-legged Golden Crow was not like a modern crow; its stature was as majestic as an eagle. Its body was covered in glossy black satin feathers trimmed with gold, gleaming with a metallic sheen, as if each feather contained the heat of the sun.

Its three claws can hold the sun firmly and fly, showing endless power and majesty.

Um!

Not afraid of high temperatures!

Those deep and bright blue eyes revealed a sense of mystery and wisdom, as if they could see through everything in the world.

In short, wherever the three-legged golden crow's wings pass by, even the void can burn into red gold. It controls the purest "Nine Yang True Fire" in the world. It is said that even Kunlun's fairy jade will turn into molten slurry when it comes into contact with it.

Just tell me whether it’s awesome or not.

Of course, there are ancient books that say that as early as the war between the wizards and the lich, twelve golden crows (the sun theory) caused frequent natural disasters because of their playful patrol of the sky, and eleven of them were eventually shot down by Houyi, the great wizard of the wizard clan.

And the remaining one also disappeared completely in the long river of time with the decline of the witch clan and the retreat of the demon clan. How could it suddenly appear here?

The key point is, isn’t there a sun in the sky?

Therefore, this historical record states that Su Xiaoya did not believe it. Isn't this a clear contradiction?

Su Xiaoya couldn't help but tap the bronze compass hanging around her waist with her fingertips. The compass needle was still spinning wildly, but the flame patterns on the copper surface were faintly hot - this was the "Ancient God Sensing Technique" passed down by the witch clan. Such unusual movements would only occur when encountering the breath of ancient mythical beasts, and there would be no mistake.

But the more she confirmed it, the more doubts Su Xiaoya had in her heart: some said that the Golden Crow was the incarnation of the sun, with its eyes open for day and its eyes closed for night; others said that they were divine birds that drove the sun chariot for the Emperor of Heaven, starting from Tanggu and crossing the nine heavens.

Although Su Xiaoya has already agreed with the second statement, but isn't the saying "open eyes for day and closed eyes for night" referring to Zhulong, one of the Twelve Ancestral Witches?

Su Xiaoya's brows furrowed more and more. These two tribes of lich and wizard really "love and hate each other"! They even want to "fight" for the magical power.

Tanggu is closely related to the war between the wizards and the liches - it is rumored that the demon clan's heaven was built on Tanggu. The Golden Crow, the companion beast of the demon prince, flew out from there, which triggered the subsequent war.

……

Su Xiaoya bit her lower lip, looked up at the valley in the distance shrouded in red-gold light, and even her breathing became lighter.

Is this suddenly appearing Golden Crow Egg the sun itself, or the mythical bird pulling the chariot? Why has it reappeared after disappearing for so many years?

What connection does this altar have with the Lich and the Witch? Or perhaps, what secrets does it hide?

Countless questions swirled in her mind, but more than that, she was curious and could hardly conceal it - being able to see the legendary ancient beast with her own eyes, even if it was just a glimpse from afar, was enough to make her excited.

In fact, Su Xiaoya was more inclined to believe that the three-legged golden crow was the divine bird that pulled the cart.

Otherwise, Qingyuan Star already has a sun. If another sun is hatched, wouldn’t the world be in chaos again?

reject!

Rejection from the inside out!

This is not a joke, it can really kill people.

Ugh!

Now, not only did she see the Golden Crow's egg, but she also inexplicably established a contract with it. Isn't this causing herself a big trouble?

"This contract... was forced." Yu Shuheng walked to Su Xiaoya's side, his gaze shifted from Su Xiaoya's face full of rejection to the dome, a hint of thought flashed in his eyes.

Seeing Su Xiaoya looking at him with confusion, Yu Shuheng explained carefully: "That bead should be the 'birth bead' of the Golden Crow clan. When the divine bird gave it to you, perhaps it had already calculated the current situation."

After a pause, Yu Shuheng's fingertips lightly traced the air, and a rune of spiritual power hovered in front of the two of them. "Have you noticed that although the flames here are scorching, they don't show any hostility towards you? In fact... they're actively trying to get closer to you."

Uh?

Isn’t it because I am a chaotic body?

I think all elements will not reject me!

Su Xiaoya was stunned for a moment. She really didn't think about it that way. In fact, she was too special.

Su Xiaoya carefully felt the air around her and found that the heat waves that should have been unbearable for her were actually like docile kittens, gently flowing around her. There were even tiny spots of fire falling on the ends of her hair, but they did not burn her at all.

She raised her hand, and a small flame condensed at her fingertips - that flame was not the witch fire she was familiar with, but a golden-red flame with the breath of the sun's true fire.

This was the True Fire of the Sun, a fire several times hotter than any flame she had ever controlled before. It was a True Fire of the Sun that could melt the incomparably hard Kunlun Divine Jade!

But now, he was incredibly obedient at her fingertips, and had no intention of burning her at all.

"What the hell is going on?" Su Xiaoya frowned. "Why did the divine bird ask me to contract the three-legged golden crow? What is the relationship between this golden crow and Tanggu and Guixu?"

Yu Shuheng did not answer immediately, but flew towards the suspended stone platform.

Su Xiaoya followed closely behind, and when they landed on the stone platform, they discovered that many tiny runes were engraved on the edge of the platform.

These runes are older than the runes on the altar. Su Xiaoya carefully identified them for a long time before she recognized that some of them were the "ancient creation runes" recorded in the ancient books of the witch clan.

"Look here." Yu Shuheng pointed at one of the runes. "These runes record 'In the prehistoric times, the Golden Crow guarded the sun and made Tanggu its nest.'"

"In other words, Tanggu was originally the habitat of the Three-legged Golden Crow." Seeing Su Xiaoya looking at him in surprise, Yu Shuheng smiled and pointed to another rune. "Then it also mentioned 'In the War between the Lich and the Wizard, the entire Golden Crow clan perished, leaving only one egg hidden in the Molten Fire Secret Realm, leaving a glimmer of hope for survival.'"

Su Xiaoya was shocked. "You mean, this egg is the only Golden Crow egg that survived the Lich War? The Divine Bird asked me to contract it in order to awaken it?"

"It's very likely." Yu Shuheng nodded, his eyes sweeping over the surrounding lava. "And I suspect that the anomaly in Guixu may also be related to the Golden Crow."

"The Three-legged Golden Crow controls the Sun's True Fire, while Guixu is the place with the heaviest Yin energy in the universe. The two are inherently mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining. If the Golden Crow falls, the Yin energy of Guixu will lose its balance, potentially causing an imbalance between Yin and Yang in the Three Realms."

what?

Su Xiaoya felt a lump in her throat.

Tears unknowingly welled up on my eyelashes, for no reason, except that my heart was filled with deep sorrow.

So, is it because of the suppression of the three-legged golden crow that this area of ​​water is protected?

Even if there is only one egg left, the divine power will be used to suppress the evil. Is that why it can't hatch?

Yu Shuheng looked up and was startled to see Su Xiaoya suddenly bursting into tears. He couldn't speak clearly: "What happened?"

Su Xiaoya shook her head. She wanted to speak, but found that her throat seemed to be blocked by cotton and she couldn't make any sound.

It turns out that when you are extremely sad, you can really lose your voice.

At this moment, the giant golden-red egg suddenly vibrated. The flame patterns on its surface grew brighter, and the golden light that had been lingering on the hibiscus tree converged on the egg.

Almost subconsciously, Su Xiaoya directly practiced her skills and madly transferred her chaotic power to the golden and red giant egg.

At this moment, Su Xiaoya had only one thought: to save the Golden Crow Egg. She could sense that if they hadn't appeared, the Golden Crow Egg would have been on the verge of death, with life almost gone.

With the input of chaotic power, Su Xiaoya could clearly feel that the life breath in the egg was recovering rapidly. The golden crow that had established a contract with her might really have a chance to break out of the shell.

After thinking about it, Su Xiaoya drew out the spiritual spring from her portable space and wrapped the Golden Crow Egg into a big "water egg".

The magical thing is that the Golden Crow Egg was like a thirsty pedestrian, gulping down the fairy spring water.

Looking at the fairy spring that was absorbed almost instantly, Su Xiaoya was still a little confused.

However, feeling the golden crow egg's more vigorous vitality, Su Xiaoya was so excited that she immediately covered the golden crow egg with a large layer of "fairy spring bubbles".

Ever since Su Xiaoya buried the immortal vein underground, the spiritual energy grade of this spiritual spring has been continuously improving, although its area has shrunk to just one spiritual spring.

This was the first time Su Xiaoya used the spiritual spring after it was transformed and its quality was upgraded to that of a fairy spring. Unexpectedly, it gave her a big surprise.

During the journey, Su Xiaoya also tried to drink a cup of the immortal spring water to replenish her spiritual power. As a result, after drinking one cup of the immortal spring water, she, a Mahayana cultivator, instantly recovered one-third of her spiritual power. After three cups, she was fully restored.

With the Immortal Spring as a foundation, Su Xiaoya was even more generous, continuously supplying the Golden Crow Egg with the power of chaos. Of course, there was also plenty of Immortal Spring bubbles.

This went on for three days and three nights.

Su Xiaoya discovered that her chaotic power had become more condensed and purer, which was truly an unexpected surprise.

"It's waking up."

Suddenly, Su Xiaoya's heartbeat involuntarily quickened, with a mixture of nervousness and a hint of inexplicable anticipation.

She stared at the giant egg, and a new message suddenly flashed through her mind. It was the message the Golden Crow egg had conveyed to her, a message that carried a hint of childishness, yet was filled with majesty. "I am the last bloodline of the Golden Crow clan. Following the command of my ancestors, I will help you protect the balance of yin and yang in the Three Realms."

Well!

Su Xiaoya was stunned for a moment due to her surprise, excitement, anticipation and touching.

No, she is already tall enough and carries countless responsibilities on her shoulders. Why are they adding more responsibilities to her burden now?

Can she really carry it?

Isn't it said that "when the sky falls, tall people will hold it up"? She is really not tall!

The key point is, with all these heavy burdens coming her way, can she still grow taller?

Seeing Su Xiaoya wilting instantly, Yu Shuheng, who was always paying attention to Su Xiaoya and protecting her, looked over nervously and asked silently, "What's wrong?"

Before Su Xiaoya could respond to Yu Shuheng, a crack suddenly appeared on the surface of the dome.

A dazzling golden light shot out from the gap, and then a small claw covered with golden-red feathers stretched out from the gap.

The claw was small and delicate, but it carried a force that could not be underestimated. With a slight push, it pushed the eggshell open a little more.

"Click——"

A crisp cracking sound echoed in the Molten Fire Secret Realm, and the eggshell gradually cracked. A palm-sized three-legged golden crow crawled out of the egg.

Its feathers still had a moist luster, its three claws were golden, there was a small red crest on its head, and its eyes were like two golden suns, emitting a warm and majestic light.

Well!

Isn't this different from the appearance I know?

Su Xiaoya and Yu Shuheng both stared at the little golden crow stupidly - they had never seen this before, so let's broaden our horizons!

The little golden crow shook its feathers, flew towards Su Xiaoya, landed on her shoulder, and rubbed her cheek gently with its head.

A warm breath came from it, and all the messy thoughts in Su Xiaoya's mind disappeared instantly, leaving only a strong "maternal love".

Who can resist such a cute furry creature?

"It really has recognized you as its master." Yu Shuheng watched this scene with a smile on his face and a flicker of envy in his eyes - even a boy couldn't resist furry things! Absolutely not!

But I'm the older brother, so forget it, I can't snatch it away. Although, I really, really, really want to touch those fluffy feathers—they're so beautiful! Just like golden satin, so shiny and smooth...

"But what we need to consider now is how to leave here." Suppressing the turmoil in his heart, Yu Shuheng forced himself to look away from the fluffy feathers and analyzed rationally: "Also, after awakening the Golden Crow, how should we solve the problem of Guixu?"

Su Xiaoya touched the little golden crow on her shoulder, and suddenly felt a little confident.

She looked at Yu Shuheng and said, "Whatever secrets are hidden behind Guixu, we must find out. Now that we have Little Golden Crow, perhaps we can find a way to counterbalance the negative energy of Guixu."

"Even completely solve it!" Su Xiaoya added silently in her heart. They would eventually leave Qingyuan Star, so naturally they had to solve all the hidden dangers.

The little golden crow seemed to understand what she said and called out to her twice, his voice clear but majestic.

Immediately afterwards, it spread its wings, and a golden light emanated from it, enveloping Su Xiaoya and Yu Shuheng.

Su Xiaoya was surprised to find that the surrounding lava began to slowly recede, the originally dim dome gradually became brighter, and a portal shining with golden light appeared not far away.
