My Pretty Campus Queen

Chapter 1322: Chapter 1321: Swift Phoenix Transportation

"Chen Tianlong, what do we do? It’s so high up. Are we going to be stuck here and die?" Tan Xianglan was starting to get a little worried.

"Gululu...."

Just then, the Swift Phoenix behind them suddenly called out. Tan Xianglan immediately lit up with joy and said happily, "Chen Tianlong, I’ve got an idea. Wasn’t the Swift Phoenix really big before? Then it shrank. That means it might be able to transform. As long as it can transform, maybe it can carry us out of here."

After hearing Tan Xianglan’s words, Chen Tianlong suddenly remembered that the Swift Phoenix could get bigger. He’d almost forgotten all about that.

"Then Xianglan, hurry up and have it get bigger and try!"

Chen Tianlong got excited. He also wanted to see what the Swift Phoenix looked like when it transformed. It felt like things were looking good. And he wanted to know if it could get even bigger, so that when they found Zhang Li and Xu Ke, they could all head back together.

Otherwise, looking at the time now, it was already around five or six in the afternoon, close to dusk. It was probably impossible to get out of this forest before dark.

"Okay, I’ll give it a try." After Tan Xianglan finished speaking, she walked over to the Swift Phoenix standing on a rock at the side and said, "Hey, little chick~, can you transform and give us a ride out?"

"Gululu...."

The Swift Phoenix nodded, then flapped its little wings a few times, suddenly let out a sharp cry, and with a whoosh, transformed into a gigantic Phoenix.

"Holy crap!"

Chen Tianlong was scared half to death. This transformation was way too freaking Heaven-defying. From a little bird the size of a chick~ it suddenly became a colossal beast. Forget the two of them; even adding another three to five people wouldn’t be a problem.

Right now, the Swift Phoenix was clearly even bigger than what they had seen before. This was probably its second transformation.

"Little chick~, you’ve gotten so big. When we get on later, don’t you dare throw us off." Tan Xianglan was also seeing this kind of Spirit Beast for the first time. She had no idea if it could understand what she was saying. If they got on and it dumped them halfway through the flight, they’d be done for.

Chen Tianlong was speechless at how Tan Xianglan kept calling the Swift Phoenix "little chick~." Luckily there were no other men here. If they were surrounded by guys and Tan Xianglan shouted like that—"Little chick~, you’ve gotten so big"—

everyone would probably just die laughing on the spot.

"Xianglan, let’s get on. I’m guessing the Swift Phoenix can understand what you’re saying." Chen Tianlong watched it for a while and didn’t see any odd behavior, so he wrapped his arms around Tan Xianglan, leaped up, and landed on the Swift Phoenix’s back.

Obviously, the weight of the two of them posed no threat at all to the Swift Phoenix. Once they were seated securely, Tan Xianglan said, "Little chick~, take us flying!"

"Gululu....."

After hearing the order, the Swift Phoenix was overjoyed, as if saying, "All right then, I’ll let you experience my flight in a bit."

Sure enough, it flapped its wings and shot up into the air. Tan Xianglan was so startled she grabbed Chen Tianlong in a panic, almost falling off.

"Little chick~, what are you doing, flying so fast? You almost threw me off!" Tan Xianglan pouted and scolded.

"Gululu...." The Swift Phoenix was shocked. It had offended its master and felt a bit uneasy, so it slowed down and kept glancing back every now and then.

Chen Tianlong seemed to see through its thoughts, so he said to Tan Xianglan beside him, "Xianglan, I think it knows it was wrong and is apologizing to you now."

"Ah? Oh..... Fine, at least you know what’s good for you. Remember to take off slower in the future, or else... hmph hmph... I’ll spank your butt." Chen Tianlong had thought Tan Xianglan was going to say something much harsher. When he heard her say "spank your butt," a whole flock of crows flew over his head.

"Gululu....."

The Swift Phoenix responded very obediently, then continued flying.

After flying for a while, Chen Tianlong started using his farsight ability to look for the cave entrance they’d used earlier. He absolutely couldn’t just abandon Zhang Li and Xu Ke. After all, they had been the guides. If they left them on the mountain and some wild beasts showed up at night and ate them, that’d be a huge problem.

They still needed Xu Ke to lead them out of this mountain range.

Even though they could fly out with the Swift Phoenix now, you couldn’t just be that ruthless in life. He had promised Zhang Li he’d help, so he had to do it. That was Chen Tianlong’s principle.

After observing for a while, Chen Tianlong found that the other end of this cave was exactly where they had been before.

"Swift Phoenix, fly over there." Chen Tianlong pointed ahead and shouted.

"Gululu....." The Swift Phoenix probably knew that Chen Tianlong was Tan Xianglan’s lover and that their relationship was very good. If it listened to him too, that should be fine. It dove forward and flew toward the cave they had just come from.

Zhang Li and Xu Ke were waiting patiently. The sun was about to set. If Chen Tianlong and the others still didn’t come out, they’d have to spend the night on the mountain.

But word was that this stretch of mountains had lots of wild beasts at night. Once it got dark, with just the two of them—a gentle, scholarly man and woman—their chances didn’t look good.

Just as they were getting anxious, a sudden "gululu" pulled their gaze up into the sky. They focused their eyes and saw a gigantic Phoenix circling above, with what looked like two people riding on its back.

"Ah? It’s the two of them, I can see them!" Zhang Li was so excited. She had spotted Tan Xianglan and Chen Tianlong—they had finally come back.

"Haha, it really is them. That’s great." Xu Ke had originally thought they wouldn’t make it back and had been worrying about how to get through the night. He hadn’t expected Chen Tianlong and the others to actually survive whatever was in that cave.

You had to know the cave here had eighteen twists and turns, just like a maze. Easy to get in, hard to get out.

A moment later, the Swift Phoenix landed in front of the two of them. Faced with this huge creature, Zhang Li and Xu Ke obviously didn’t dare get too close. Zhang Li even went straight to her knees, kneeling and kowtowing as she muttered, "Divine Phoenix, forgive us. We didn’t mean to disturb you."

Chen Tianlong gave a wry smile. He knew people here were very superstitious, though this was probably their faith. Since she wanted to bow, he might as well let her bow to her heart’s content.

"Swift Phoenix, can you still carry two more people?" Chen Tianlong asked the Swift Phoenix.

It nodded, and Chen Tianlong understood. He quickly called out, "You two, hurry and get over here. We don’t have to walk. This Phoenix can give us a lift."

"Ah? It... can carry us?" Even though Chen Tianlong said so, Zhang Li was still a bit scared. After all, if something went wrong with a giant bird flying in the sky, it’d be even more dangerous than a plane crash.

If they fell straight down the mountain, they’d basically be dead.

"Hehe, don’t worry. It carried us all the way here too. It’s really stable up there, pretty much like standing on level ground." Looking at how nervously Zhang Li was acting, Chen Tianlong could only smile wryly.

"All right!" Zhang Li took a deep breath, climbed up from the ground, then followed Xu Ke over. Working together, the group all got onto the Phoenix’s back.

"Swift Phoenix... that’s everyone. Try and see if you can lift us all." Chen Tianlong didn’t have the Swift Phoenix take off immediately. Instead, he had it do a test lift first, to roughly gauge whether the weight put any strain on it.
