Chapter 34 (1/2)
It was night time, so the voice of the Unicorn engraved Bird had spread out hundreds of miles afar. An Zheng smirked unhappily: ”You are like an unreleased soul”. He suddenly understood the reason why the Unicorn engraved Bird could have found him. It was because of the smell on his body. He intended to use the dung and urine of the Unicorn engraved Bird to have scared off the other devil and wild beasts, but he had forgotten that the smell would have attracted the Unicorn engraved Bird.
When thinking of this, An Zheng felt a little safe.
The Unicorn engraved Bird did not go out at night because its eyes were not familiar with the darkness. In the daytime, when it flew high, it could see thousands of miles far. However, at night, its eyesight had decreased many times, and it might not have been able to have seen anything. If it was not due to the smell, it could not have chased after An Zheng. An Zheng stood on a high tree, and he saw a stream nearby. Suddenly, he made a decision.
Firstly, he put off some dung urine onto the tree branch. Secondly, he jumped down and went to the stream. Finally, a boy and a kitten had taken a bath in the stream. The kitten had been awakened by water while it was still sleeping. It said meow… meow… and An Zheng said: “Shan ye, keep silent. Otherwise, that great bird would eat you as if it was eating an ant.”
Xiao Shan suddenly kept silent. However, it did not know what An Zheng had meant. An Zheng carried the kitten in his arms to go ash.o.r.e, but the smell had still clung onto his body. He immediately took off his clothes, carried the kitten, and swam in the stream.
After a while, the Unicorn engraved Bird flew toward and flapped its wings in hopes to have uprooted all the great trees within the hundreds of meters in that area. The Unicorn engraved Bird flew in the midair flapping its wings crazily, and its diamond-hard feathers were shooting out like rain drops. Each of its feathers was over one meter long, as sharp as a knife. It fell down like disaster.
An Zheng swam with all his strength. He could have hid the smell by the stream, so he just hoped that it would have been effective. However, for a very short while, there was no gra.s.s left on the other side. Not only were the great trees had been taken down but the land was also layered up. The Unicorn engraved Bird did not find out anything except a little trace of smell, so it flew down to check.
An one-meter big water python moved through the stream because it was scared by the Unicorn engraved Bird. Normally, that big python might have already eaten An Zheng. However, it was more nervous than An Zheng at the moment. The python pa.s.sed by An Zheng and had terribly frightened him. He saw that the python was faster than him, so he held onto its body.
Because its skin was quite thick, it did not realize that An Zheng had been holding onto its body. Although even if it had realized so, it had no time to pay attention because the most important thing now was in running away.
The Unicorn engraved Bird turned down and looked around as an old man looked at something with his weak eyesight. After over ten minutes, it got crazy because it could not have found out anything. The Unicorn engraved Bird flew up again and continuously flapped its wings with confusion. Under the sharpness of its feathers, many great trees were cut down, and so were the rocks.
The water python got more nervous, so it swam much faster. At that time, An Zheng felt that something was shaking from the ground up, and it was not due to the feathers of the Unicorn engraved Bird. He looked back and had gotten pale.
“Launching water?”
It was the water pole which had appeared when An Zheng was about to leave after he had taken the herbal valley. At that time, the valley was full of water. Because it was narrow, the water had conquered it very quickly. Until the valley was underneath the water, it had exploded, and the water pole appeared. The thousands-high water pole was launched. If someone had been hit with it, he must have surely died.
The Unicorn engraved Bird had also smelled danger, so it flew away. The water pole was launched many times faster than the Unicorn engraved Bird, so its damage was also much stronger. Wherever the water pole had pa.s.sed, great trees were completely uprooted, and big rocks were terribly blown up. The water python was so scared that it could not appear but dive into the stream.
An Zheng held his breath, but he could have held it for a minute because his physical powers were too weak at the moment. An Zheng could not hold the water python any further but leave it. At that time, the water flowed much faster, and the waves came nearer and nearer. At that time, even if he could just jump to have gone ash.o.r.e, the water would have also damaged the sh.o.r.e just after some hundred meters. At that time, although An Zheng had an iron const.i.tution, he could not have possibly stopped it.
Therefore, he flowed with the stream because it was at least safer.
The stream was like a wicked huge snake. In a twinkling of an eye, it had filled up the entire valley. With its strong waves, a layer of the entire mountain had been destroyed.
An Zheng forced himself to stay calm in order to find a solution. Otherwise, he would have died by the strong waves.
At that time, the water python might have been frightened out of its wits, so it appeared from under the water again and opened its mouth to An Zheng. An Zheng was frightened, and he immediately avoided it. He unconsciously stabbed the Crimson Mythical Bird Hairpin into the python’s head. The python struggled fiercely because it was hurt. An Zheng held onto the python’s body, and it was lucky of him that the python was not able to have rolled on top of him.
Maybe due to the appearance of the Crimson Mythical Bird Hairpin, the Unicorn engraved Bird in the midair screamed and flew down. It seemed to have seen the Crimson Mythical Bird Hairpin a critical treasure which had needed protection. Therefore, the bird would have rather been washed away downstream f by the wave more than having lost the item. The water python struggled more fiercely, and the Unicorn engraved Bird picked up the water python with its huge claws. No matter how fiercely the water python had struggled, it could not have escaped.
An Zheng dropped off and fell down, and the wave flowed towards him with tremendous force.
The Unicorn engraved Bird picked the water python up into the sky. Feeling no sense of the Crimson Mythical Bird Hairpin, the bird had gotten even madder. It squeezed its claws, and the claws had stabbed onto the body of the water python. The water python screamed in pain. The Unicorn engraved Bird then released its claws, and the water python fell down from the hundreds-meter height. The water python was still in the midair while no end of the feathers from the Unicorn engraved Bird had been shot out and cut it into small pieces.
One feather had just grazed over An Zheng’s head and pierced into the rock wall behind him. At that time, An Zheng could not have controlled his body, so he flowed with the stream.
Because the Unicorn engraved Bird had identified the stealer stealing its Crimson Mythical Bird Hairpin was still in the water, it had shot out its feathers continuously into the water.
An Zheng drank much water, and he yelled at the bird while spitting out water:
– “Screw you! You are as tenacious as a hungry leech!”
Because the current of the stream had flowed too strongly, the Unicorn engraved Bird could not hear what An Zheng was saying. An Zheng flowed with the stream unwillingly because he did so just in trying to save his life. It was lucky for him that the water level was quite high, so he did not hit any of the jagged rock walls.
In An Zheng’s mind, he just heard the voice of the strong wave currents. Basically, he did not know how far he had been swept downstream. Suddenly, the current had flowed downstream even more ferociously.
An Zheng risked his life struggling, and he felt that gravity was lost. He fell down from the height.
“Waterfall!”
