Chapter 204: Diverting Calamity Eastward
The grass and trees in this ancient forest cover the sky and sun, thriving exuberantly.
Atop the tallest ancient elm tree, there is an enormous bird nest, identical to the one Xin Lin had previously envisioned in his mind.
There are seven or eight eggs in the bird nest, surrounded by some dry grass and branches.
The giant bird lands in the nest, tossing the "human-shaped Cao Duozhi" it had in its claws into the nest.
With a roll, Xin Lin bumps into the eggs, and with this collision, stars flash before his eyes.
Inside the Sealing Spirit Talisman, the Rascal Corpse remains completely still.
After retrieving the "Cao Duozhi," the giant bird sits on top of the eggs and Xin Lin, closing its eyes to incubate.
Xin Lin is pressed so hard that he dares not to let out a breath.
As the sky grows darker, the Fu Xi’s Energy within Xin Lin also begins to stir restlessly.
"Dead Rascal Corpse? If you don’t come out now, I’m going to suffocate to death."
Xin Lin feels a sensation all over his body as if ants are gnawing at him. The Fu Xi’s Energy surges chaotically, and he rolls his eyes. Is that guy, the Rascal Corpse, really going to leave him to die?
Although Xin Lin is not sure of the grade of this giant bird, just by looking at its dwelling, he knows it’s extraordinary, and he has no confidence in being born again from beneath the bird’s claws.
"Remove those three words."
Inside the Sealing Spirit Talisman, a cold, indifferent voice finally emerges.
Three words?
What three words?
"Rascal Corpse?"
Xin Lin comes to his senses. Could it be that the creature takes offense at being called Rascal Corpse, and that’s why it’s been acting haughty and not showing up?!
In Xin Lin’s heart, a small version of himself breaks into a cold sweat, having never seen such a stubborn creature before.
"Gui Hu, think of something quickly to make that giant bird shift its position."
After the giant bird incubated for a while, its thick feathers and body nearly crushed Xin Lin’s bones to pieces.
Inside the Sealing Spirit Talisman, a black light suddenly flashes and shoots into the night.
About five or six li away from the Ancient Forest, a group of people are traversing through the night.
This group of people is different from the earlier hunters, with roughly over twenty individuals, proceeding unhurriedly.
Among the team are men and women. In the center are several young lords and ladies dressed in gorgeous attire with handsome and beautiful features. Leading them are several raggedly dressed hunters, followed by several tall and strong martial artists with swords and arrows on their backs.
"Heir Yang, it’s completely dark now, and we’ve been searching for a day without a trace of the Xuan Bird. Is there really a Xuan Bird in these mountains?"
The one asking is a delicate-looking girl with waist-length hair, dressed in a pale blue soft armor, appearing graceful and poised.
"The Qin Mountain has been home to the legend of the Xuan Bird since ancient times, but its whereabouts are unpredictable and hard to capture. A month ago, a hunter saw a colorful Xuan Bird building a nest in the mountains. The Xuan Bird propagates only once every sixty years, and building a nest surely means laying eggs. I’ve just become a Spirit Master, and if I can get a Xuan Bird for summoning, I’ll be unbeatable for the top place in the Zixiao Palace Exam."
The one answering is a young man with an impressive aura, approximately fifteen or sixteen years old, clearly of noble birth and raised in luxury.
These people are, undoubtedly, the hunters mentioned earlier who have entered the mountain for the hunt.
Relying on their noble families, they seized a few hunters as guides, and the beasts of Qin Mountain have been victimized all day long.
As dusk deepens, Heir Yang and his team still haven’t discovered the Xuan Bird. At this moment, a shadow stirs in the grass ahead, quickly darting toward the Ancient Forest.
"What incredible speed! It must be some powerful beast, chase it!"
Heir Yang and the others perk up and quickly pursue in the direction of the Ancient Forest.
In the nest, the Xuan Bird opens its eyes, sensing a foreign presence.
