In the cave, Bai Yunfei sat casually on the ground, leaning against the smooth cave wall at the back, with his hands folded in front of his chest, frowning slightly, as if he was thinking about something seriously.
"Chirp, chirp, chirp..."
In front of him, a colorful little figure was jumping around happily, making crisp chirping sounds from time to time. Listening carefully, it seemed that there was a hint of melody in his mouth, as if he was singing - it was the little figure who had just broken out of his shell and was born. A half-day-old colorful warbler.
It was less than a day old, but it looked like other birds that were a month old. The colorful feathers on its body were much plumper than when it broke out of its shell. The newly born it seemed to be full of curiosity about the world, constantly looking around. Jumping to the right, its small mouth pecked out small holes on the ground, as if it was having fun. However, if you observe carefully, you will find that its range of activities has never left three meters around Bai Yunfei.
"Alas... I still can't figure it out!" After pondering for a long time, Bai Yunfei sighed helplessly, looking up at the lively little colorful warbler in front of him, his mind full of doubts.
"Is it because of the +14 enhancement, the enhancement stone, or the enhanced 'equipment'?"
Bai Yunfei carefully thought over and over again the circumstances of the previous changes, and finally came up with a few more reliable guesses.
As for the strengthening technique, Bai Yunfei has strengthened countless pieces of equipment in the years since he obtained it. However, if we really want to sum it up, all his 'experience' so far has only been limited to mid-to-low-end equipment. , and the enhancement level is only +13 or below. It can even be said that it does not include +13. Even the enhancement stone can only be used a few times.
It can be said that he has no experience at all in those situations that happened before, so he is not sure what the reasons were.
However, comparing these several guesses, he was more inclined to the last one - because the enhanced 'equipment' this time was really special, which led to the previous changes.
Especially when he saw the lively little colorful warbler in front of him, he became even more sure of his guess.
"It... was hatched from that soul beast egg. That soul beast egg was clearly a dead egg before! How could a living soul beast suddenly appear?" Bai Yunfei patted his head in confusion, "Could it be that , and then came back to life?!"
Although this guess seems too bizarre and a bit nonsense, if you continue to speculate along this line of thinking, everything seems to make sense...
The soul beast eggs that had lost their vitality were identified as 'equipment' by the strengthening technique, so they could be strengthened normally. However, an accident occurred later, and the originally dead soul beast eggs suddenly 'resurrected' for some reason. Maybe it was the stimulation of the strengthening stone, or maybe it was because of the stimulation of the strengthening stone. Is it the stimulation of the energy change when strengthening to +14, or some other reason. In short, the soul beast egg has regained its vitality and is no longer an 'equipment', so that special situation has occurred.
As for the huge energy that was sucked away at that time, perhaps it was used to completely revive the soul beast egg, and then allow the little soul beast that was about to be born inside to successfully 'break out of its shell and be born'.
"At the end... the enhancement should have been successful, right?" Bai Yunfei recalled the scene at that time and said depressedly, "But... where is my +14 equipment?!"
Although he was dissatisfied with the egg-shaped 'equipment' before, now he felt distressed again.
"+14!! That's +14 equipment! I didn't even see the +14 additional effect..." Bai Yunfei became more and more pained as he thought about it, and began to worry about gains and losses again. He kept mumbling to himself as if chanting sutras, "My +14 equipment, my +14 equipment, my +14 soul beast egg, my egg, my egg, my..."
"Chirp!"
When Bai Yunfei was secretly sad, a crisp voice came. He was slightly startled and looked up, only to see the little colorful warbler jumping onto his lap again at some point, raising his little head and looking at him curiously. Own.
"Eh? Wait!!" Seeing this little colorful warbler, Bai Yunfei had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and suddenly said in surprise, "That's right! You came out of that soul beast egg, right?! You absorbed me It took so much cultivation to hatch, right?! Are you very powerful?!"
The more Bai Yunfei thought about it, the more he thought it was possible. Gradually, his eyes gleamed with excitement. He grabbed the little colorful warbler, held it in front of his eyes, and stared at it with burning eyes.
“Tweet??”
Surprisingly, the little colorful warbler didn't seem to be afraid of him at all. She stood in the palm of his hand and tilted her little head, as if wondering why he suddenly became so excited.
Bai Yunfei thought for a while, and couldn't wait to reach out his right index finger to point on the head of the little colorful warbler, and at the same time, a sense of soul penetrated into its body.
After a moment, the excitement on his face weakened greatly. He took back his right hand and said with some disappointment: "Only mid-level one, there is nothing special in the body, no powerful energy hidden, and no attributes and attributes 'inherited'. Additional effects…”
He tried to activate the strengthening technique, but nothing happened - of course, how could it be possible to identify the 'attributes' of a living bird
"Hey, little guy, are you really just an ordinary colorful warbler?" Bai Yunfei brought the little colorful warbler close to his eyes, stared at it and said, "You were so cool when you were born, you At least it has to have some characteristics, right?"
Being 'questioned' by him like this, the little colorful warbler still looked at him with a pair of innocent little eyes, chirped twice, and lightly pecked Bai Yunfei's forehead...
"Tsk! Be serious!" Bai Yunfei was angry, staring at it fiercely and scolding, "You destroyed a piece of my +14 equipment, and you sucked a small level of my cultivation to survive and be born. , wouldn’t you feel too embarrassed if you were still an ordinary colorful warbler who could never break through the sixth level in your life?”
"Come on! Let me see your hidden power!" Bai Yunfei didn't know whether it was because he was being smart or because he wanted to try his last hope. After saying solemnly to the little colorful warbler, Bai Yunfei held up his hand. It was thrown towards the opposite cave wall! !
"Show your strength!!"
"Snapped!!"
Before Bai Yunfei finished speaking, the little colorful warbler flapped its wings and hit the opposite cave wall. It paused for two seconds and then gradually slid down, leaving a shallow bird-shaped mark on the cave wall...
"Well… "
Looking at the little colorful warbler who staggered up from the ground, shook the dirt off his body, and then looked over with resentment in his eyes, Bai Yunfei had sweat on his forehead and black lines all over his head...
"Um, what's that... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..." Bai Yunfei reacted and immediately felt dumbfounded by his behavior just now. He scratched his head at the little colorful warbler to express his apology.
Unexpectedly, the little guy opposite was so generous. As soon as Bai Yunfei apologized, the sorrow in its eyes disappeared immediately, and it jumped back to Bai Yunfei with a cry of joy.
"This..." Bai Yunfei was also very surprised by its overly intimate attitude. Looking at the little colorful warbler jumping around on his body, he felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy in his heart. He raised his right hand, but before he could speak, the little guy on his shoulder actually jumped onto his hand, which surprised him again.
"Little guy, do you want to follow me?" Bai Yunfei looked at the little colorful warbler and said with a smile.
"Chirp!"
Unexpectedly, the little guy seemed to understand what he said. He screamed happily twice and spread his wings in a gesture of joy.
"That's it... Although I can't let you be my contracted soul beast, if you are willing, I will let you follow me." Although he felt that the other party was just an ordinary colorful warbler, Bai Yunfei had already grown fond of the little guy in his heart. I like it a little bit, and think it would be nice to keep it as a pet. As for when it grows up, if you want to leave, just let it go.
"Then, let's give you a name!" Bai Yunfei thought for a while and smiled, "Colorful Oriole... In this way, your name is... Xiaoqi!"
