Chapter 2773 - God Phoenix’s Reques (1/2)

After the phoenix lifted Han Sen into the air, it rocketed forward with blinding speed. This was nothing like the slow, ponderous way the bird had moved when it first approached Two Ape Mountain.

Before Han Sen could say anything, he saw that they were heading toward one of the suns in the sky. The orb glowed with power and heat as they shot recklessly toward it.

They were still some distance from the sun, but Han Sen thought that the incredible heat was about to melt his deified body. He didn’t know what would happen if he entered that glowing orb, and his heart rose into his throat at the thought.

The phoenix flapped its wings, and they shot past the sun, flying deeper into the xenogeneic space. The phoenix accelerated, leaving behind the glowing suns that hung threateningly in the sky. Han Sen looked ahead and saw, in the distant sky, a giant sycamore tree that was growing upside-down.

Han Sen had seen many strange trees in his life before, but he had never seen a tree growing upside-down.

The top of the giant sycamore tree was on the ground, but its roots were growing into the sky. The roots were like a dragon’s beard, all tangled up like a large bird nest.

“People say phoenixes live in sycamore trees. Perhaps this phoenix doesn’t live atop the sycamore tree, but rather, in its roots.” Han Sen looked at the upside-down growing tree with a strange expression.

The god phoenix soared up to the roots and landed deftly among them. The creature opened its beak, letting Han Sen fall into a knot of roots that looked something like a nest.

Han Sen quickly discovered that the place wasn’t “like” a bird’s nest. It really was a bird’s nest.

In that bird’s nest that was composed of the roots of the tree, Han Sen saw a giant egg that was around ten meters tall. The egg was burning with the same white fire as the phoenix.

“Why have you brought me here? You don’t think I look like a phoenix, do you? You’re not going to raise me as a child, are you?” Han Sen spoke to the phoenix that was now settling down in the nest.

“Of course I know you aren’t a phoenix. Phoenixes don’t give birth to ugly children like you. And this, this is my child,” the phoenix said proudly.

“Then why did you bring me here?” Han Sen let out a long sigh. If he was raised by a phoenix, he would become a phoenix man.

“Your body has traces of a presence that belongs to a member of my race. And I must say, it is a nice one. I’m sure you must have been spending a lot of time with a youngster of my race,” the phoenix said while looking at Han Sen.

“A young phoenix?” Han Sen was shocked. Then he thought of something. With a weird look on his face, he said, “She can’t be talking about the little red bird, can she? The little red bird is a hybrid, though. It isn’t actually a phoenix.”

Now Han Sen understood why the phoenix was treating him differently. It was because of the little red bird.

“We did spend time together for quite a while. And our relationship is solid. We are kind of like brothers,” Han Sen said seriously.

Han Sen wasn’t going to tell the phoenix that the little red bird was a hybrid. If the phoenix was racist to the hybrid kind, then his special treatment would vanish.

Thinking about how cold and cruel the phoenix appeared when it started eating people, Han Sen shuddered. He sincerely hoped the phoenix wouldn’t have a change of heart and became callous enough to dine on him.
