"Boom!"
A deafening sound could be heard as the door of the cave abode was suddenly slammed open. Both doors were destroyed and fell heavily onto the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
The process of elixir formation could not be disturbed. Caught off guard, Su Zimo was shocked and the elixir that was about to be formed exploded on the spot!
All his efforts were for naught.
Not only that, Su Zimo was still in a daze and even ate a mouthful of dust when he opened his mouth slightly …
He had been busy for the entire afternoon and was about to succeed in refining the Spirit Gathering Elixir when something like this happened.
At that moment, Su Zimo even had a murderous intent. His head heated up and he nearly lost control of his bloodline and turned into a demon on the spot.
"Caw, caw!"
Right then, a familiar cry sounded from the entrance of the cave abode with a clear hint of mockery.
Su Zimo turned around slowly and caught sight of a crane standing at the entrance of the cave abode. It flapped its wings excitedly and its eyes were filled with the joy of success.
"I …"
Su Zimo could not help but curse. However, he realized that his mouth was filled with dust and could only cough furiously.
"Caw, caw!"
When it saw that, the crane was even more excited. If it could laugh, it would have done so long ago.
That crane was the same one that Su Zimo fought with on the peak of the front mountain when he joined the sect.
Su Zimo recognized it right away.
Of all times, that stupid bird had to appear at this moment. Su Zimo was so angry that his knuckles cracked and his eyes turned red.
"Roar!"
Linghu leaped up and roared at little crane with widened eyes.
Little crane glanced at Linghu with contempt.
Initially, Linghu did not dare to take the initiative to attack little crane that was already a spirit demon.
However, when he caught sight of little crane's contemptuous gaze, Linghu was triggered.
"I can't tolerate this! I've got my pride too! "
Roaring, the spirit tiger's eyes spat fire as it charged forward with a ferocious aura.
Bang!
Linghu rolled back at an even faster speed and with an even more ferocious aura.
The moment it charged up, it was sent flying by little crane's wings. It rolled a few times on the ground and ate a mouthful of dust, looking extremely wretched.
Linghu stood up and spat out the dust in his mouth. With a loud roar, he was about to charge again.
"Come back!"
Su Zimo shouted.
Without any hesitation, Linghu retreated, as if he had been waiting for Su Zimo to speak.
After all, Linghu was only a spirit beast and was no match for this stupid bird.
"Fine. Today, you destroyed a cauldron of my pills. Our grudges are written off. From now on, don't come looking for me, and I won't provoke you. How about it? "
Su Zimo decided to have a good talk with this stupid bird. After all, there was not much hatred between them.
If he couldn't solve this problem, he wouldn't have any peace in the future.
Let alone refining pills, Su Zimo wouldn't even be able to withstand Silly Bird's sudden attack during cultivation.
"Caw, caw!"
Little crane raised its head in disdain.
Su Zimo frowned and muttered internally. By the looks of it, this stupid bird had no intention of letting things go.
"On account that your senior is the Mystical Guardian Beast of the sect, I don't want to hurt you. You'd better not provoke me," Su Zimo said slowly with a stern expression.
"Caw, caw! Caw, caw! "
Little crane cried out repeatedly with a provocative look in its eyes.
Without saying anything, Su Zimo slapped his storage bag and a blood-colored bow appeared in his hands.
Nocking an arrow, loading the bowstring, the bow was like a full moon!
His movements were smooth and clean, as though he had practiced it countless times.
"Swoosh!"
The sound of an arrow tearing through the air rang out as a black light brushed past little crane by a hair's breadth.
The arrow was so fast that little crane was caught off guard and was truly shocked.
Su Zimo said coldly, "That arrow was only a warning. If you provoke me again, the next arrow will take your life!"
Of course, Su Zimo would not dare to kill that stupid bird unless he had a death wish. His words were only meant to scare it.
Furthermore, this stupid bird was still in its infancy and was merely a little mischievous – it did not deserve death.
"Caw, caw!"
Instantly, little crane was enraged when it heard Su Zimo's words. Flapping its wings, its gaze turned sharp – it wanted to fight with Su Zimo.
In a flash, Su Zimo dashed out of the cave abode.
Little crane was prepared this time round and flapped its wings immediately. Circling in midair, its claws shone with a cold glint, ready to pounce down at any moment.
Su Zimo nocked another arrow.
"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! "
Three arrows were shot out in succession.
Little crane dodged repeatedly in midair with its agile movements and dodged them with ease.
"Caw, caw!"
Little crane cried loudly, mocking Su Zimo's archery skills.
Su Zimo was regretting it a little.
Had he known, he would have pierced the stupid bird's wings with his first arrow while it was unprepared …
But now, Su Zimo was in an awkward situation.
Even if he could use Sword Kinesis Flight, his agility in midair was far from comparable to a spirit crane with a pair of wings.
He might not be able to unleash his combat strength even if he had it.
Furthermore, Su Zimo did not dare to engage in melee combat with the spirit crane at the moment. If he could not control his bloodline and showed signs of demonic transformation, the consequences would be dire.
However, if he were to control his flying sword, Su Zimo might not be able to hurt the spirit crane even if it did not move at all since he was only at Level 6 Qi Condensation.
There was no way to attack!
Su Zimo stood at the entrance of the cave abode for a while. Realizing that he could not do anything to the stupid bird, he could only return to the cave abode.
Su Zimo had just sat down and had yet to catch his breath when little crane landed at the entrance of the cave abode, chirping non-stop.
"That stupid bird …"
Enraged, Su Zimo dashed out once more.
Little crane flew away once more …
When Su Zimo returned to the cave abode, little crane flew back as well. It did not enter the cave abode and merely looked at him mockingly at the entrance, chirping from time to time.
Suddenly, Su Zimo had an ominous feeling.
If that stupid bird were to continue wasting time with him, he might not even be able to get a good night's sleep, let alone refine elixirs or raise his cultivation realm.
True enough.
The next day, Su Zimo had just fixed the entrance of his cave abode when little crane barged in once more.
Little crane was outside while Su Zimo was inside. The man, crane and Linghu glared at each other for an entire day without achieving anything …
Little crane was never tired of it.
The man and tiger were tormented.
For the next few days, little crane would visit Su Zimo's cave abode from time to time, chirping loudly outside.
Sometimes, right after little crane left, the man and tiger heaved a sigh of relief and wanted to take the opportunity to take a nap. Unexpectedly, little crane would return …
For the next few days, Su Zimo did not have the chance to cultivate or refine elixirs. Even when he slept, he was on tenterhooks.
The man and tiger had not slept for the past few days.
Even Su Zimo had lost a lot of weight, let alone Linghu.
Linghu was on the brink of tears.
Previously, in this cave abode, it was tormented by Su Zimo for no reason, roaring here and there.
Now, this stupid bird had popped out of nowhere to torment it.
Linghu was already traumatized. For the past few days, he had been wondering if he should leave Su Zimo temporarily and run to the forest to have a good night's sleep.
