Chapter 24 - Flying out of the Canyon (1/2)
On the shelves inside the storage ring, Ye Shang saw a lot of medicinal herbs, some of which were probably refined by Feng Chen, and some more he probably collected adventuring.
Ye Shang still had a hard time believing he wasn’t dreaming.
He had to return the Sheng Ding scripture to the Medicine Valley, but he decided to memorize it first. As for the other things, they belonged to Ye Shang now.
Stabilizing his mood, Ye Shang and the white bird came out of the cave since it was somewhat damp in the cave and he was not used to it.
The white bird followed him back to the platform, Ye Shang looked up to consider the problem of getting out of this murky cave.
Looking at the cliff, Ye Shang knew that it would be difficult to climb and there even was a terrible Earth Dragon Worm waiting to devour them up ahead.
Patting the white bird, Ye Shang, who intended to cultivate in order to heal his wounds, suddenly thought of an idea. However, as he hadn’t encountered such a variant species like the white bird before, executing his plan straight ahead was a gamble. Now, he had no choice. Thus, he began to look at the spiritual illustration book obtained.
Ye Shang rummaged through every detail inside the spiritual illustration but failed to find any records related or similar to the white bird.
The white bird was close to two kinds of birds, one was the Green Peng due to the resemblance in their claws, and the other was the Luan since the feathers and wings also had a close resemblance.
Unable to find something about this peculiar bird, Ye Shang put down the spiritual illustration and started cultivating on the platform, meanwhile the white bird stayed with him quietly.
In the next few days, Ye Shang stayed on the platform to cultivate and recover his injury since his right arm still hasn’t recovered yet.
The white bird was very quiet during these days as Ye Shang fed it a Bigu Pill and it stayed at Ye Shang’s side every day as it recovered from the injuries on its wing.
Although safe, Ye Shang was a little anxious since he couldn’t find any way out.
“White Bird, since you are now healed, can you fly up with me?” After finishing cultivation, Ye Shang looked at the white bird, which was tending to its feathers and asked in a humble voice.
Though Ye Shang asked casually, the white bird actually nodded, which surprised him since his random question actually solved the problem of getting out.
With a faint ray of hope, Ye Shang still had some doubts since the white bird looked very young and its feathers were tender, hence it was quite difficult for it to fly up with him.
After cultivating for another day and seeing the white bird’s wings completely healed, Ye Shang decided to leave.
Before leaving, Ye Shang broke a boulder with the black iron spear, sealed the cave, and nodded at the white bird, “Let’s go.”
Hearing Ye Shang’s words, the white bird stood up straight and spread its wings.
Its body was half a meter tall, and the wings were almost two meters wide.
“Well, let’s try. If I jump onto your back, I will probably affect your flight. So after you take off, I will grab your claws.” Ye Shang pointed to the claws of the white bird.
This was the conclusion that he came up with in these two days since the white bird wasn’t big, His weight would increase the pressure on the bird if he insisted on sitting on its back.
But if he only grasped the white bird’s claws, it would have less of an impact on the white bird.
As for the heavy black iron spear, Ye Shang did not intend to discard it as he planned to decide whether he should give it up after taking off.
If the white bird couldn’t afford to carry him and the black iron spear, he should give up the plan to bring it with him since the bird will find it hard to reach the cliff while carrying only him.
The white bird took off, flew off the platform, and then hovered over Ye Shang.
Seeing the white bird flying, Ye Shang leaped and his right hand grabbed the claws of the white bird.
