Chapter Three Hundred and Ninety Seven – Totem Fragments

Even though Silly Bird’s gaze was still so proud, so discontent, but in front of Zuo Mo’s scoundrel-like and hoodlum laugh, there was nothing to do. Zuo Mo used his arms and legs to climb onto Silly Bird’s back and pretended to be dead.

However, Zuo Mo was muttering on the inside.

After Silly Bird’s strength had strangely skyrocketed, her personality had become even prouder. Adding on that all the little ones listened to her, she acted as the leader of them all, and completely forgot her actual profession as a steed, much less think of him, the owner!

This could not be tolerated!

Education could not be relaxed!

Planning on educating Silly Bird, Zuo Mo was going to speak when he felt himself shoot up. His entire body was almost thrown off. With a shake, he hurriedly hugged Silly Bird’s neck.

When they were flying in the air, the feeling was completely different. It was like lightning!

The wind blew so hard Zuo Mo could not open his eyes. Such an exhilarating speed caused Zuo Mo to be in a good mood. Hands tightly grabbing on to Silly Bird’s slender neck, he raised his head and started to sing.

“I want to fly even higher … … fly even higher … … ah ah ah … …”

The cymbal like sound flew across the sky.

Silly Bird’s eyes looked back with unfriendliness and glanced maliciously at Zuo Mo, who was in a world of his own. Her wings suddenly flapped and she flew straight up.

“Ah ah aaaaah … …”

Zuo Mo’s wail followed Silly Bird’s acceleration, as they floated up.

When he dismounted from Silly Bird’s back, his legs were as soft as noodles. His entire person was intoxicated as though he was drunk. Before he walked a few steps, he found all the little ones had come over, nudging and crowding intimately around Silly Bird.

Like the moon surrounded by stars, Silly Bird didn’t even look at Zuo Mo. Stalking her bird walk, she flounced off.

That presence, that manner, it made Zuo Mo gape.

Suddenly recalling what Silly Bird looked like before, Zuo Mo couldn’t help but laugh. After shaking his head in self-mockery, he went into the tent.

A Gui who was in the corner of the tent saw Zuo Mo come in, and the wooden and empty pupils seemed to become slightly more livelier.

“A Gui, have you rested well these days?”

Just like usual, even though he knew that A Gui would not reply, Zuo Mo spoke to her as he took out his spoils.

“En.”

When the tiny sound, that was like that of an ant, landed in Zuo Mo’s ears and was akin to thunder! Zuo Mo’s movements suddenly froze. He raised his head, and his face was filled with disbelief.

The disbelief on his face rapidly turned to ecstasy. He shot in front of A Gui. “A Gui! A Gui! You can speak?”

A Gui’s face was wooden, her pupils empty and she was unresponsive to Zuo Mo’s words as though the sound of response had been Zuo Mo’s delusion.

That definitely had not been a delusion!

Zuo Mo’s eyes were filled with joy. Even though A Gui’s body gradually shows signs of a good turn, but the response today was a breakthrough.

“A Gui, can you hear me speak?”

Zuo Mo slowed his talking speed and tried to make his tone warm. His eyes looked hard at A Gui’s face.

“En.”

It was another mosquito-sized response. It caused Zuo Mo to break out in a grin. He jumped up like a child and whooped.

“Haha! A Gui can talk! A Gui can talk!”

A slight ripple was produced in A Gui’s empty pupils.

After celebrating, Zuo Mo inspected A Gui’s body. He quickly found that the purple energy inside A Gui’s body had grown. The purple energy inside A Gui’s body was the decisive change and surely had an effect in A Gui’s recovery.

But this purple energy was extremely dark and unpredictable. Even Pu Yao did not know of its origins. Even weirder was that Zuo Mo could not sense any signs of life from the purple energy. It was the extreme opposite. It was dark, varied, and filled with destructiveness, the presence of death. Theoretically, such a strange power should bring death so how come it could make A Gui recover?

Even though he did not understand, Zuo Mo couldn’t help but ponder the purple energy. How could he increase the strength of the purple energy?

This thought flashed through Zuo Mo’s mind. Calming down, Zuo Mo suppressed the urgency inside. He had to be cautious with this matter! A Gui’s body was extremely delicate. Any change, and there was a possibility the body could shatter into pieces.

Those two sounds of response seemed to have taken great energy from A Gui. She closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Seeing her state, Zuo Mo hurriedly quieted down and carefully laid her down.

After thinking for a long time, Zuo Mo finally returned his attention to his spoils. This time, he had killed two fiend soul beasts, and the spoils that remained were slightly strange.

It was strange, because there was something else other than the fiend soul beast bead and the remnants of limbs.

It was a piece of metal about the size of a fingernail. There were some special patterns on the surface of the piece. Zuo Mo felt the patterns were like seal scripts. This piece was left behind by the fiend soul beast that froze his ling power.
