528 The Arrival of the Golden-Winged Peng Bird
As for increasing his EXP level, he was not in a hurry.
As long as there were still factions and nations on the Myriad World Continent that harbored enmity towards the Kingdom of Dawn, this person would be able to lead an army to fight once, which would be comparable to the other heroes who risked their lives to kill countless enemies.
After all, as the army commander, he could get some EXP compensation for the soldiers’ slaughter in every battle. The more troops under his command and the more enemies he killed, the more EXP he would gain, which was much more convenient than other heroes.
Chirp…
At this moment, a high-pitched bird cry suddenly came from the sky outside.
“It’s Qing Ying!”
A smile appeared on Li Xiang’s face as he quickly walked out of the Great Hall.
Looking up, he saw a golden-red figure soaring and circling in the sky as if patrolling her territory. She did not hide her powerful aura.
Qing Ying’s body had grown even more prominent. It was evident that she had not stopped growing during this period.
With the rank of her mythical beast phoenix bloodline, the demigod realm was not the end. But, of course, if she wanted to grow, she would need enough time and resources.
As if it had seen Li Xiang’s figure, she immediately cried and swooped down. In the process of swooping down, her body gradually became smaller and smaller. Finally, it turned into a red bird the size of a sparrow and landed on Li Xiang’s shoulder. It stared at Li Xiang’s furry head and rubbed itself against his face.
This intimate action made Li Xiang’s resentment for this girl who had left him behind in the past disappear. Ultimately, he raised her from the moment she came out of her shell and was similar to her daughter, so he could not bear to criticize her.
Fortunately, his previous guess was wrong.
Previously, he had thought that this girl had taken a fancy to the golden-winged Peng bird and wanted to become its mate! Now, it was ridiculous to think about it.
With the Phoenix’s pride, even a golden-winged Peng bird might be unable to make her feel at ease. He did not know why he had followed them back then.
“What do you mean by running away with that golden-winged Peng bird?” he asked.
Li Xiang asked, and the Phoenix Qing Ying immediately responded with a chirp.
Of course, he did not understand any language, but he could understand what Qing Ying was trying to say through the special connection between the two.
Soon, he understood why Qing Ying had followed him.
“So that golden-winged Peng bird is also a female and has already laid a bunch of eggs and is about to hatch, so you’re going to die protecting them and later kidnap them to our Kingdom of Dawn? Tsk, tsk, no wonder I dote on you so much. Alright, you’ve done a good job, so I’ll give you any reward you want!”
“You’re going to build a nest for the golden-winged Peng bird? I can’t do anything about that. If she likes something, take it. How the two of you build the nest is your business! So what? Do you want the leaves and branches of the World Tree? You are unbelievable…”
Li Xiang did not expect her to make a request, but she certainly did not hold back once she did!
However, the golden-winged Peng bird had the bloodline of a mythical beast. Therefore, it would be good if it could settle down in the Kingdom of Dawn.
But the World Tree leaves and branches… This request made his heart ache.
However, thinking there were not many mythical beasts in this world, he nodded and said, “Alright, I agree! But I can’t give her much. The World Tree hasn’t grown yet. At most, I can give her a few leaves and branches. There’s nothing more!”
Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!
Qing Ying, who had turned into a sparrow, happily jumped on his shoulder. She looked delighted. Then, she turned around, jumped, and disappeared into the sky in a flash of fire.
It was evident that she was going to find the golden-winged Peng bird.
Not long after, a clear chirping sound suddenly rang from the sky again.
Then, a vast golden figure followed behind Qing Ying as they flew toward a tall mountain near the City of Dawn.
The mountain was about 1600 feet tall. It was the tallest mountain in the vicinity and extended for more than 100 kilometers. It was located to the south of the city and was called Mount Cuiping by the citizens.
Li Xiang was also curious about how many children the golden-winged Peng bird had brought to the City of Dawn. Why did he not see them just now? Thus, he moved his body and arrived at the peak of the highest mountain of Mount Cuiping.
At this moment, the place had been cut into a vast platform. At the southwest end of the platform, there was a vast cave. It was obvious that it had been specially preserved and newly opened.
This was the golden-winged Peng bird’s chosen nest.
The assassins could see that on the platform, there were more than a dozen small golden-winged Peng birds with golden feathers all over their bodies. They were running around curiously, looking adorable.
The golden-winged Peng bird stood on the top of the cave and looked down at the children gently.
Seeing Li Xiang’s arrival, it tilted its head and let out a crisp cry as if to greet him.
“Are these the golden-winged Peng bird’s children? I didn’t expect there to be so many of them. It looks like they were just born.”
Li Xiang looked at the little golden fellows and nodded to himself, his heart full of joy.
These little fellows had inherited the bloodline of the golden-winged Peng bird, and their potential was immense. When they grew up, their futures would be limitless. They might even become a new race.
He knew that the golden-winged Peng bird consumed dragons as food.
He did not know if there were true dragons in the Myriad World Continent, but there were giant salamander dragons with wings in this world. They were also mighty. Although they were much weaker than true dragons, these golden-winged Peng birds should not be picky about their food.
“They were born a month ago, but it has only been three days since they hatched. The children are too weak and need to be taken care of, so we came here. Please forgive us if we have disturbed you!”
Suddenly, a piece of information appeared in Li Xiang’s mind.
He turned his head and saw the golden-winged Peng bird nodding at him with a hint of apprehension.
“The children are important!” Li Xiang nodded. “Don’t worry. As long as they don’t attack humans or damage public property, they can fly freely in the sky, and all the monsters and beasts on the ground will be their food. No one will hurt them!”
Li Xiang directly gave an affirmative answer and even made a guarantee.
The golden-winged Peng bird’s eyes flashed with gratitude.
Li Xiang was delighted with these little fellows. He had no intention of enslaving them, nor did he think of getting a flying cavalry. On the contrary, he believed that with the existence of the phoenix and the golden-winged Peng bird, they would be able to become the guardians of the sky in the Kingdom of Dawn. That was enough.
As for sending them to the battlefield, there was no need at all.
The golden-winged Peng bird’s bloodline was highly noble, and its potential was limitless. It was extraordinary, and once it matured, it could step into the demigod realm or even the God realm.
