Chapter 198 - The Terrifying Monster (1/2)
Chapter 198 The Terrifying MonsterLooking at the bird standing on the rock wall, Zhang Yunyan and Shikong were very nervous. This bird was so strange, and it was completely a monster.
It seemed that it was a monster with boundless power. It had cultivated to such a high level, and was able to show and hide its body parts whenever needed. Those birds and elves who had not cultivated into human beings could not compare with it.
By presenting itself in this way, it might intend to confuse others and make it impossible for its rivals to get a clear picture of it.
In the Cave of Fate, it was silent and dark, which was frightening.
In the dim light, the “stars” on the weird bird kept flashing. Although they were faint, they were visible, which added colors to the mysterious hole.
Under the beautiful appearance, it was dangerous. In the atmosphere of terror and the dangerous situation, they could feel no sense of safety, and they would end up miserably.
Outside the Cave of Fate, Turtle Elf was very anxious as it could not know the situation of Zhang Yunyan and Shikong, nor could it hear the sound inside.
It could not control itself, and attempted to ask about the situation in the cave, but it still could not hear any reply. The life and death of the two friends was unknown, it was worried, in a heart-wrenching pain.
Inside the Cave of Fate, the weird bird was motionless. The twinkling “stars” were colorful, but there was danger hidden in the beauty and the fight of bloodiness would break out at any time.
Hearing the questions of Turtle Elf, Zhang Yunyan and Shikong dared not to respond. They were afraid to stimulate the weird bird, and get it excited.
The two sides were in a stalemate, which seemed to last forever. The crisis would not be over until the bird left, and they could only wait in fears.
The weird bird kept standing still on the rock for so long, as if it were stiff. It looked in the distance with no response, and it no longer paid attention to the two alien creatures.
Zhang Yunyan felt it was getting stranger. The weird bird had not achieved its goal to kill people. Why was it indifferent to both of them?
She was suspicious. The more she looked at the bird, the more she thought that the creature did not look like a bird. She was tempted to see what it really was. Since the weird bird was not interested in women, why would she be afraid of it? She should seize the opportunity to find the answer.
Yunyan asked Shikong to wait here and be on guard. Then, she went to the bulging rock alone. She moved softly, trying not to disturb the monster, and she was getting closer.
The bird had no reaction, and it remained standing still on the rock.
It was impossible that the weird bird had not found Zhang Yunyan approaching. Why was it so indifferent? Was it uninterested in women?
Perhaps it planned to wait for its prey to come in front of it and then launch attack. In this way, its prey would not defend effectively, and get killed instantly.
It was also possible that it wanted Zhang Yunyan to get closer, and then it would fly up to attack Shikong and achieve the goal of killing him.
If so, that would be too terrible. The bird was extremely sinister and vicious.
As Zhang Yunyan walked halfway, she stopped. It was impossible for her not to worry about the safety of Shikong, and the weird bird might suddenly fly up to hurt her benefactor. She hesitated and tried to step back. The weird bird looked even more suspicious, for she had seen clearly that it was not a bird.
Yunyan believed that she was right. She was also very surprised and got more confused. She could not help looking back at Shikong.
Shikong stood there without move, staring at the bird nervously in case of its sudden attack.
Zhang Yunyan tried to calm herself down, and wanted to come closer to see who it was. As she moved slowly, she could see it more clearly.
Yunyan confirmed that it was not a bird, but an object of rectangular shape. It was smooth on the surface with angles and was now standing on the rock motionlessly.
She did not know what it was. It had no beak, eyes, and wings, and had no features that could be categorized as a bird. It looked like a flat and polished stone.
It was strange. How could this stone-like object fly?
When it appeared, Yunyan did not see the mouth or eyes clearly, but she was certain that the cloud-like wings were real, and they were flying up and down constantly.
What was puzzling was that the wings went missing. Was it a bird that had cultivated into an elf, and had hidden its identity?
This explanation was not convincing. Facing two ordinary people with no resistance, there was no need to hide itself, let alone confuse its opponents. If it wanted to kill them, it had nothing to worry about, and could just do it.
Was it a magic stone? No, if so, how to explain those colorful “starlight”?
Zhang Yunyan could be sure of one thing. Whoever this guy was, it was not ordinary. As it could fly and perform magic, it must be a cultivated elf.
As the distance got closer, Zhang Yunyan saw it more clearly. She confirmed that it was a stone, and what made it special was the twinkling “stars”.
Of course, it was not a common stone. It was a living object with powerful magic, which could fly. In other words, it was a stone that had finished cultivation.
The “stars” seemed not to be on the surface, but in the inside. From the surface, it was a translucent stone, or jade stone.
