The unconscious Eight Vertical Bar Mutant, after completing the tearing of the crack, once again fell silent, standing like a statue at the edge of the crack.
Meanwhile, Silk Jingjing and Silk Yingying, after obtaining the zombie crystal of the Thirteen Horizontal Bar Giant Corpse, squeaked excitedly, happily darting around the crack, their big eyes constantly rolling.
Immediately, they transformed into two afterimages and sped towards Firefly's location, their figures cutting blurred trajectories through the ruined city, startling a group of low-grade zombies into roars and commotion along the way.
In just a moment, the two Little Beasts had already flown outside Zuo Feng's bedroom on the Second Floor. As Silk Jingjing and Silk Yingying took out the 13th grade zombie crystal, Firefly's companion Little Beasts instantly erupted.
They leaped and tumbled around Silk Jingjing and Silk Yingying, their babyish squeaks rising and falling, as if celebrating something, or perhaps discussing something.
Zuo Feng and Firefly's girls were unaware of any of this; they were still busy with their own affairs.
Amidst a chorus of babyish squeaks and discussions, a group of Little Beasts seemed to reach a consensus. Immediately, Silk Jingjing and Silk Yingying nodded in unison, their big eyes sparkling with excitement.
They quickly gathered around the coffin containing the Thirteen Vertical Bar Mutant. The Little Beasts all let out babyish cries, small but with a strange rhythm, as if urging Silk Jingjing and Silk Yingying.
Silk Jingjing and Silk Yingying immediately understood. The 13th grade zombie crystal in their hands slowly floated up and drifted into the White Phoenix Beast's beak. The moment the 13th grade zombie crystal entered the White Phoenix Beast's beak, a strange fluctuation instantly spread, and the air in the entire room seemed to freeze for a moment.
Immediately after, the White Phoenix Beast's feathers began to emit a faint glow, which intensified from light to strong, eventually transforming into a fiery white flame circulating within its body.
The Thirteen Vertical Bar Mutant in the coffin also trembled slightly, as if drawn by something. Wisps of white energy slowly seeped from its body, merging into the White Phoenix Beast's flame.
The White Phoenix Beast's body gradually became transparent, like a burning flame, and the overflowing white energy continuously flowed in like a stream, making its light even more intense.
The babyish Little Beasts gathered around watched with sparkling eyes filled with anticipation. They all held their breath, gazing intently at the fiery white flame, as if awaiting the arrival of a miracle.
Suddenly, the White Phoenix Beast let out a clear, sharp squeak, its sound crisp as a bell, echoing throughout the room.
With this cry, the White Phoenix Beast's tightly closed eyelids twitched violently, seemingly struggling to open, but then snapped shut again in an instant, as if an invisible force was surging within it.
This process lasted for about three breaths. The White Phoenix Beast's feather glow suddenly dimmed, as if all its energy had been completely drained in that instant.
Seeing this, the Little Beasts gathered nearby all let out anxious squeaks, and Silk Jingjing and Silk Yingying also showed nervous expressions.
However, in the very next moment, the White Phoenix Beast's body suddenly shook, and its tightly closed eyelids abruptly opened. A pair of fiery white eyes, like the blazing sun, lit up the room, seemingly piercing through darkness and mist.
As the White Phoenix Beast opened its eyes, a chilling aura instantly permeated the air, as if heaven and earth were reflected in those eyes.
Inside the room, a violent energy fluctuation swept around like a storm. The air around the coffin instantly twisted, and the light and shadows on the walls flickered wildly, as if the entire space was trembling.
The Little Beasts were pushed back by this sudden aura, and the furniture and tea tables in the room collapsed under this energy storm, shattering into countless wood splinters.
Silk Jingjing and Silk Yingying also quickly steadied themselves, their eyes filled with both shock and unconcealed surprise.
The Little Beasts instantly steadied themselves and quickly gathered around the White Phoenix Beast, emitting low and gentle squeaks, as if comforting their newly awakened companion.
But this White Phoenix Beast, which had consumed the 13th grade zombie crystal, did not respond as expected. The fiery white light in its eyes flickered, as if its inner self was undergoing a fierce struggle.
The energy fluctuations in the air still hadn't subsided, forming swirling light patterns around it, as if trying to guide or impact the sealed power.
But everything did not go as smoothly as expected. A low hum emanated from the White Phoenix Beast's body, as if two forces were fiercely colliding.
Its feathers glowed white one moment, then dimmed the next, as if struggling and pulling back and forth.
Finally, the light on its body suddenly burst forth, tiny specks of light scattering like stars, falling onto the surrounding walls and floor, reflecting a dazzling array of bright spots.
The light in the room gradually subsided into silence, and a strange energy afterglow permeated the air, as if a cosmic struggle had just taken place.
The White Phoenix Beast remained in its original posture, wrapped around the Thirteen Vertical Bar Mutant' arm, as if nothing had happened.
But only its blinking eyes revealed that it was not entirely in a sealed state at the moment.
The Little Beasts gathered nearby gradually approached, cautiously surrounding the White Phoenix Beast. Seeing its blinking eyes, they all let out joyful and excited squeaks.
Just then, Tu Nini and Tu Shasha suddenly let out urgent low growls, breaking the stagnant atmosphere in the room.
Tu Nini and Tu Shasha pointed at the messy room, then pointed outside, letting out urgent squeaks. The originally excited Little Beasts instantly understood.
Such a big commotion would surely alert Zuo Feng and Firefly's girls to what was happening here. Urgent footsteps were already heard from outside the door.
Mu Jingjing and Mu Lingling's eyes rolled around, then their small hands gestured continuously, emitting a series of urgent squeaks of command. Following the gestures of their small hands, the Little Beasts immediately sprang into action.
They began a frantic 'house-wrecking' spree. Tables were overturned, cabinets were torn open, and various tool fragments scattered. The Little Beasts were clearly divided, systematically destroying all evidence at the scene.
Mu Lingling let out an urgent squeak at the newly awakened White Phoenix Beast, then quickly flew away from the coffin, swiftly burrowing into a pile of wood splinters to roll around. After getting covered in splinters, it immediately flipped up and shook its fluffy body.
And the awakened White Phoenix Beast, upon hearing Mu Lingling's squeak, immediately understood how to conceal its awakened state. It quickly closed its eyes, returning to its previous motionless appearance.
The footsteps outside the door grew closer. Mu Jingjing and Mu Lingling quickly directed the other Little Beasts to accelerate their house-wrecking activities. Wood splinters and debris were rapidly scattered across the floor, and several Little Beasts even ran around with broken wooden sticks in their mouths, creating a scene of utter chaos.
Mu Jingjing quickly jumped onto a high platform wrapped in a piece of cloth, pretending to be crushed by a fallen object, emitting painful squeaks. Mu Lingling, meanwhile, leaped into an overturned box, only her shining eyes visible, closely monitoring the movement at the door.
The entire room seemed to have been thoroughly ransacked in a matter of seconds. Any unusual traces were buried in this sudden 'disaster'.
The Little Beasts each performed their roles, either pretending to flee in panic or feigning to search for cover, leaving not a single flaw.
