"Hi, Chen." An unfamiliar number called Chen Zhao, but the voice was familiar. It was the female pirate, Guret.
"Guret, what's up? I remember you told me that Nanqi Island won't surface until mid-March, right? "
"I'm not asking you to leave now. The news about Nanqi Island has been leaked. I know that a few forces have entered the island's waters."
"Who are they?"
"Pirates and mercenaries."
"Are you worried that someone will get there first?"
"No, I'm not worried. I just feel that the news is very strange," Guret said. "It seems like someone is spreading the news on purpose."
"Anyway, it's not me … You're not suspecting me of spreading the news, are you?"
"Of course I don't believe it's you."
On one hand, it was because of Chen Zhao's credibility. On the other hand, Chen Zhao had no motive to leak the news.
"Didn't you say that there's a naval fleet patrolling that area? Can those pirates and mercenaries get close to that area? "
In Chen Zhao and Guret's plan, they had chosen to set off after mid-March to avoid the naval fleet's patrols.
Guret was an experienced pirate. If she had to do this, the other pirates and mercenaries would probably have to do the same too.
Going against a naval fleet really wouldn't end well.
"On the third day after you left Hawaii, the naval fleet entered Nanqi Island's waters again in an attempt to salvage the gold, but they were completely wiped out. Now, there's no naval fleet on Nanqi Island. That area is closed to navigation."
Chen Zhao didn't expect such a change.
Without the naval fleet, it was much easier for them to move around.
However, Chen Zhao had to be more cautious.
The annihilation of the naval fleet proved how dangerous that area was.
No matter what, the final deciding factor was his own strength.
In the past two days, Chen Zhao had been consolidating his cultivation.
He didn't know how others were doing, but he could feel that ever since he'd comprehended Worldly Emptiness, his body seemed to have improved in some way.
Why did humans pursue evolution? Because it felt good.
That was the most fundamental reason.
In the past, all living things in the world relied on the natural environment to evolve.
However, since humans completed their evolution in a short period of three million years and completely dominated the entire Earth, humans stopped evolving.
This was because the natural environment could no longer threaten humans.
At least in most cases, the natural environment no longer threatened the entire human race.
Therefore, the ancients created a cultivation system, or sought a breakthrough from other more advanced species.
For example, he could borrow the magic of demons or the power of God.
Their ultimate goal was to evolve.
Whether it was to defeat nature, to defeat enemies, or to defeat their own kind, the ultimate goal of human evolution was to feel good.
Why the hell would he evolve if he wasn't happy?
"Chen, where did you get such a big bird?" Fali watched as Chen Zhao set up a huge pot in the yard. It had a diameter of two meters and was filled with water from the previous rain.
Fali was already used to Chen Zhao bringing back strange creatures to eat from time to time.
However, this big wok could only fit one piece of meat.
Although the Undying Bird wasn't a super-large creature, it was still nearly 20 meters long, almost as long as a small passenger plane.
"Phoenix," Chen Zhao said, glancing at Fali.
Hearing that, Fali's pregnancy was almost affected.
"Are you serious?"
"Yes, that night I went to hunt the Undying Bird."
At this moment, a bus stopped.
The people from the Supernatural Organization alighted from the bus, including the guard, Ados.
They were no longer unfamiliar with Chen Zhao's home.
A few young girls even brought swimsuits and planned to play in the water.
Thus, it was more casual. West came over to greet Chen Zhao and Fali.
"President, what creature is this?"
"Undying Bird, this time, I called you guys over to eat together."
West was even more speechless. Phoenix?
Can't you use a slightly more serious tone to say this?
"Oh, where's Gaia? I've already informed her, "West asked.
"Gaia will come later. She's still on set."
"President, are there any feathers left?"
"Yes."
"The feathers of the Undying Bird are very high-level magic materials."
"Oh, I'll organize them. If you need them in the future, just ask me."
"Were there any traces of the Undying Bird in the past?"
"The last time it appeared was 100 years ago, 1914, in the Eifel Volcanic Area."
"1914? That's a special time, "Chen Zhao said meaningfully.
"Yes, the First World War." West nodded. "That's why the Undying Bird is also known as the messenger of disaster."
"Wait," Chen Zhao said, confused. "In the West, the Undying Bird is called the Divine Bird. It can bring happiness and hope."
"The Undying Bird has different legends and images in Europe," West said. "Most of them are vicious beasts that bring disaster and fire."
Just then, Litt Grove and Bona arrived too.
Both of them were newbies in the supernatural world.
When they heard that Chen Zhao was treating them to the Undying Bird's meat, their eyes almost popped out.
Chen Zhao had cut off the thigh. It was only one-fifth of the Undying Bird's thigh, but it weighed three tons.
"Dad, I want to eat." Gerlyn could already smell the meat. She pointed at the pot and drooled.
The other pets were the same. They didn't bother and just surrounded the pot, drooling.
"Wait for your Auntie Gaia to come. Not now."
This was a gathering hosted by Chen Zhao. It was basic etiquette to wait for all the guests to arrive.
"But Gerlyn wants to eat."
"Does your Auntie Gaia treat you well?"
Gerlyn looked conflicted. Then she nodded. "Okay."
"So, if you eat, does everyone else have to eat too? What if Auntie Gaia comes and there's nothing to eat? "
"Okay … okay."
Chen Zhao and Fali loved little Gerlyn, but they couldn't just ask for it.
Luckily, Gaia didn't make Gerlyn wait for long. When Gaia's car stopped in front of Chen Zhao's house, Gerlyn welcomed Gaia with unprecedented enthusiasm.
"Auntie Gaia." Gerlyn pounced at Gaia.
Gaia was really flattered. She looked at Little Gerlyn in disbelief and reached out to pick her up.
"Gerlyn, do you miss Auntie Gaia?"
Fali covered her mouth and laughed. "She's just greedy. Chen won't let her eat if you don't come."
