Chapter 1060 - 1056: The Xuan Bird’s Calamity
Ever since Xin Lin encountered Rong Qiu, Rong Qiu had never acted as abnormally as today.
Unfortunately, Xin Lin could not understand Rong Qiu now.
Rong Qiu stretched out its golden beak, pecked at the palm of Xin Lin’s hand, and then tugged at Xin Lin’s clothes, pulling her forward.
"You lead the way up ahead."
Xin Lin finally understood Rong Qiu’s intention. Taking advantage of the fact that the patrolling people hadn’t returned yet, one person and one Rong Qiu swiftly sneaked into Qin Mountain.
After entering Qin Mountain, Xin Lin discovered that the situation in this area was even worse than what she had seen earlier.
In the sky, birds had vanished completely.
On the ground, there were no beasts in sight.
Occasionally, she would come across a body or two.
The bodies included birds that had fallen from the sky and beasts, and their death conditions were no different from those that Captain Yang and his group had taken away earlier.
Xin Lin also inspected the bodies of those birds and beasts. There were no obvious wounds, and from the fur and skin, it didn’t seem like they were poisoned.
The only parts that still held some life were the nearby streams and the vegetation of Qin Mountain.
The streams in the mountain were still flowing, and the fish and shrimp inside looked as normal as Dou’e was holding them, unaffected by the mysterious illness in the mountains.
This made Xin Lin even more suspicious.
Could it be that this mysterious illness only infects birds and beasts, having no effect on aquatic creatures and plants?
As Xin Lin was pondering, Rong Qiu had already led her to a towering tree.
The tree’s crown looked like a mushroom cloud, standing out conspicuously amidst the dense forest, with the stance of overlooking all other trees.
As soon as Xin Lin reached the tree, she recognized it.
Isn’t the Mystic Bird Nest in this tree?
Earlier, Xin Lin ventured into Qin Mountain in search of summoning and unexpectedly discovered the Overlord Egg in the bird’s nest.
The Xuan Bird back then was utterly resentful of Xin Lin.
It was only with a tremendous effort that Xin Lin managed to escape.
Looking up, Xin Lin saw that the pitch-black bird’s nest still hung in the tree.
Xin Lin felt a chill down her spine and was about to run.
Are you kidding? If the Xuan Bird saw her, would she still have her life?
Jiu Jiu Jiu~
But Rong Qiu was tugging at Xin Lin’s clothes, refusing to let go.
"You want me to go up? Is that a good idea?"
Xin Lin looked at the bird’s nest above her head.
Jiu~
Rong Qiu finally reacted.
"Could it be that your cheapskate bird mom had an accident?"
Xin Lin thought of those birds that had died earlier.
In Qin Mountain, besides the Ice Horned Dragon at the Black Water Lake Dragon Ancient Tomb and the newly arrived Rainbow Dragon Trout fry, this Level 6 Spiritual Beast Xuan Bird was the overlord of the mountain.
If something had happened in the mountain, the Xuan Bird might know about it.
With this in mind, Xin Lin’s curiosity was piqued.
"I’ll go up. Let’s agree, if your bird mom wants to kill me, you must protect me. After all, I am your nominal mommy, I hatched you, and have raised you for so long."
Xin Lin lectured Rong Qiu.
Jiu~
If Rong Qiu could talk right now, it would definitely say, you don’t need my protection. If nothing else works out, there’s always daddy.
Xin Lin followed Rong Qiu and started climbing up the tree.
It took quite some effort before Xin Lin reached the bird’s nest.
The nest was empty, without a single egg.
A mass of shadows was shrouded in darkness.
As Xin Lin approached, she saw clearly that the mountain overlord Xuan Bird had its eyes closed, and its once colorful feathers were now dull and lackluster.
It seemed that this big bird was indeed sick.
Xin Lin looked at the Xuan Bird, hesitating, unsure whether to approach.
Jiu Jiu Jiu Jiu~
Rong Qiu urged Xin Lin.
Reluctantly, Xin Lin had no choice but to approach cautiously, walking over to the Xuan Bird to check its condition.
