Chapter 131 - Bird Feathers on the Ground (1/2)
Yu Kun and Yu Wencheng were both exhausted in both body and spirit. They were truly tired as they chased after him this entire time, and was even about to catch him. However, in the blink of an eye, they saw him ride on top of a Fire Yunque, turning around and escaping without a trace.
The two individuals were moving about in anger. White smoke was being spewed out from their nostrils, however, they could do nothing about it. Mist was floating about. Where would they go to find that man and bird? In the end, they failed through the lack of a final effort.
“Forget about it, let’s go back first. The water treasure is about to materialize. To our clan, it bears quite a large importance. Maybe it will be sufficient for our clan to rise to the top, revealing another human emperor.”
The two individuals carried the crippled individual on their backs, hatefully turning around and disappearing into the distance. If the little guy showed up again, they would immediately do everything in their power to kill him.
“Big Red, your speed is really fast.” The little guy gasped in admiration. The big red bird transformed into a streak of fiery light, breaking through the clouds and piercing through the mist like a scarlet ray of light.
The big red bird was proud as it spoke, “Of course. Have you seen who I am? If this magnificent bird emperor didn’t have a few tricks, how would I have dared to come inside the Hundred Shattering Mountains? My name is destined to be recorded in history.”
“Bird emperor? It’ll definitely be tasty then. It’s also an Archaic species, so the taste must be even greater!” The little guy wiped off the saliva from his mouth.
After the large red bird heard what he said, it immediately shivered and shook its head at once. “My body is all bones, and there isn’t much meat. Moreover, I come a small place, and is only the emperor of a small mountain top!” It was truly a bit scared of this little demon king, fearing that it might be eaten.
“All bones is also good, since it’ll be crispy.” The little guy hung off of its neck, and it could feel the heat coming out from his mouth.
The big red bird was absolutely horrified, screaming out, “Don’t! I recently got sick, and contracted some bizarre disease. If you eat me, your entire body will rot!”
“Forget it, I won’t scare you anymore. I am an extremely nice person. In the future, we will be working together, and need to mutually assist each other. I guarantee that you will receive a great opportunity in the future,” spoke the little guy warm-heartedly.
After the big red bird heard this, it was extremely unsatisfied. Working together my ass! It’s so obvious that you’re sitting on my back! If you have the ability, than carry me on your back while flying; that is what’s called mutually assisting each other.
“Hey, dumb bird, what is wrong with your eyes? Why is it almost completely white?” asked the little guy.
It’s obviously to glare at you! I want to throw you off! The big red bird really wanted to spit out those words, but in the end, it didn’t dare to do so. It resentfully muttered, “I was born with more white in my eyes.”
The little guy patted it a few times and said, “Don’t be so stingy. In the future, I’ll give you a large gift. I know a small red bird, and although it is only the size of a palm, it is far stronger than you. In the future, I’ll introduce you to it as your master. You’ll definitely reach the heavens in a single leap, enjoying the benefits for the rest of your life.”
“What?! A palm-sized child? Making something like that my master, this grandpa won’t do something like that!” The big red bird was angry.
The little guy threw sidelong glances at it and said, “Don’t regret this afterwards. That might be a Vermilion Bird or its descendant. When the time comes where we truly meet, don’t cry and kneel while begging to become its disciple.”
“Pah! This grandpa isn’t that type of person, and wouldn’t care about things like that.” The big red bird had a look of disdain.
“Stupid bird, after meeting up like this, what grandpa? I’m going to strike!”
With a dong sound, a huge blister appeared on that large red bird’s head. It became confused and disoriented, almost dropping out of the sky while shrieking.
“Find a spiritual mountain. I need to heal.” The little guy’s injuries could not be considered light. There were quite a few bloody holes on his body, and even now, fresh blood flowed out.
When the big red bird heard this, its eyes immediately lit up as it flew towards a mountain range. It felt that it could most likely get rid of this devil king.
“Stupid bird, I can tell what you are thinking as soon as you lifted your butt. Don’t play any tricks. Otherwise, I’ll definitely eat you,” warned the little guy.
“Why are you so fixed on me? Can you please change for a different Archaic descendant?” The big red bird was extremely unwilling.
“Who told you to fly so fast? There would be big trouble if I changed for another vicious bird and got caught by the people behind,” said the little guy.
“Then I’ll fly a bit slower, maybe even break one of my wings.” Big Red was extremely angry, and wanted to go on strike.
“Alright, I’ll help you then!” The little guy began grab its feathers, immediately causing scarlet feathers to flutter about. His attitude implied that he was really going to pluck it naked.
“Ah… What are you doing?”
“Plucking your feathers! Afterwards, I’ll throw you into a river to wash you clean before putting you into a pot to stew,” said the little guy.
“You already said that you wouldn’t eat me! How could you go back on your words?” Big Red was screeching.
“That’s on the premise that you carried me while flying. Now that you are going on strike, since you are going to be useless, it’s better to just eat you.”
“Okay, I won’t mess around anymore. I’ll fly, so we’ll go wherever you want to go.” Big Red felt wronged, as if he was being bullied by a younger family member.
Of course, it was still restless. Its large eyes were moving about constantly as if said, “You want an even faster vicious bird right? I know one that isn’t any slower than me, do you want to visit the nest it guards?”
“Let’s go there then, perfect place for recovering.” The little guy knew with a glance that that was most likely a hated enemy of the big red bird. This fellow was not any good, wanting to borrow his hand to defeat its enemy.
This was a mountain cliff with a huge bird nest constructed on top. Bones of the dead were piled up below the cliff, and quite a few belonged to humans. One could tell with a glance that this was the lair of a vicious creature.
The little guy frowned. This creature was not simple. He saw within the bone pile the skeletal remains of seven to eight humans. They were still polluted with wisps of blood, implying that they were devoured not that long ago.
“They are all human race geniuses ah… They all ended up being its food.”
This nest was forged out of dead trees, and was emitting a wave of murderous aura. The surrounding cliff was dense with the smell of blood. It was definitely the remnant of the vicious bird’s last meal.
The big red bird was circling about, speaking in bewilderment, “Yi, it’s not in its nest.
Following that, it quickly pulled together its wings. It dropped down, landing within the nest.
The dead trees were thick and extremely sturdy. However, a layer of soft silver grass lined the inside, neat and cozy.
“Wa, there are eggs!” The Fire Yunque burst into loud laughter, rushing over in high spirits. It tossed aside a pile of silver grass, revealing three enormous eggs.
There were three eggs the size of stone rollers. They were completely black and sparkling, as if they were made out of black jade. Symbols were accumulated inside, circulating with strands of essence energy.
The big red bird’s mouth cracked open, giggling endlessly. “This is the egg of the mountain’s bird of prey! It is equivalent to great tonics!”
“Ai, I lost my cauldron!” The little guy was sighing in despair. His pots, bowls, ladles, etc. were all left behind during the chase. Now, he had no way of creating a meat delicacy.
“What pot or cauldron? Watch me, I am a connoisseur in egg-eating.” The big red bird had a look of pride on its face.
