After about half a cup of tea's time, the noise below suddenly became louder. Then, a strange chirping sound gathered together like a tide. A moment later, a black cloud suddenly flew up from the bottom of the Heaven Pit!
Upon closer inspection, one would discover that this black cloud was actually made up of swallows that were completely black in color.
Lu Chen stood to the side and looked at the swallows. After carefully identifying them for a while, he found that there was a circle of scarlet around the beak of these swallows, and on the tail feathers, there were indeed a few scarlet feathers among the black feathers. They looked brighter and more beautiful than the black feathers around them. They seemed to be the "red-beaked scarlet swallows" that Hong Chuan had mentioned before.
At this moment, Hong Chuan, who was standing at the edge of the Heaven Pit, could see the appearance of these swallows even more clearly. Suddenly, a look of joy appeared on his face. Then, he muttered something and suddenly shook his hands. He spread them out and the thin net opened up with a "hu" sound. It flew into the air and flew into the group of swallows.
Only a burst of shouting and the group of swallows was suddenly in chaos. The strange net's mesh was neither too big nor too small, just enough to catch these swallows. At the same time, a strange glimmer appeared on the strange net. It actually surrounded the swallows in mid-air and covered all of them. Then, it flew back to Hong Chuan's hand.
This trip and return was really magical. This kind of method was clearly a magic treasure of the legendary immortal sects.
Lu Chen stood at the side and looked at this scene with a trace of a smile on his face. His gaze moved to Hong Chuan who was standing at the edge of the Heaven Pit and stared deeply at him.
Hong Chuan was standing at the edge of the Heaven Pit. Not far from his feet was a cliff, but he didn't seem afraid at all. His eyes were only looking at the strange net in mid-air. He stretched out his arm and caught the net that flew back to him. He looked inside and immediately beamed with joy. He turned back to Lu Chen and said with a smile, "There's no mistake. It's the Red Beak Scarlet Swallow!"
Lu Chen smiled and nodded, "As long as it's right." He then asked curiously, "Oh yes, I remember that the swallows here aren't considered spirit beasts. Why did you catch them?"
Hong Chuan reached into the net and grabbed a swallow. Then, he looked directly at the tail feather. After carefully looking at it, he pulled out a red feather from the feathers. Then, he loosened his fingers and let the swallow fly.
Holding the Scarlet Feather in his hand, he smiled at Lu Chen and said, "This is it. Although the Red-billed Scarlet-Feathered Swallow was not a spirit beast, the scarlet feathers on its tail were quite beautiful. Especially if one was not afraid of trouble, they could weave these feathers into a shawl, which was also very beautiful. There's a senior in my sect who likes this thing, so I specifically found this place to search for Chi Yu as a token of filial piety to her. "
"I see." Lu Chen suddenly understood. He thought to himself, 'No wonder Hong Chuan is so interested in these inconspicuous swallows. It turns out that it's all for the sake of flattery … Uh, it's all out of filial piety!'
After understanding the whole story, Lu Chen was not in a hurry. He simply found a rock on the side and sat down, watching Hong Chuan use the strange net to catch these swallows.
The strange net was very strange, but it was quite useful. Every time Hong Chuan used it, he almost never missed, so he quickly caught a lot of swallows.
However, in the process, Lu Chen quickly discovered that Hong Chuan's requirements for the Scarlet Feather were quite high. He almost didn't want the ordinary ones, the flawed ones, the ones with dim luster, or the ones with missing tail feathers. Basically, he only chose the Scarlet Feather that looked perfect.
As a result, the speed at which he collected the Scarlet Feather slowed down a lot. Every time Hong Chuan checked the tail feathers, he didn't kill them, but released the swallows. He seemed to be a kind person.
Lu Chen waited for a while. Seeing that Hong Chuan had collected about a dozen beautiful Scarlet Feathers, he couldn't help but ask, "How many feathers do you want in total?"
Hong Chuan said without hesitation, "At least a hundred."
Lu Chen replied with an "oh" and said, "Take your time then."
Hong Chuan turned his head and grinned at him, then turned back to catch the swallows.
Just like that, they stayed on the edge of the sinkhole, and the place where the swallows looked for food seemed to be on this mountain top. A dark mass of swallows flew everywhere. After about half an hour, Hong Chuan finally almost completed the task.
He counted the collected Scarlet Feathers again. There were a total of ninety-eight, so he smiled and said to Lu Chen, "One more net will be enough."
Lu Chen smiled and nodded, and Hong Chuan stood at the edge of the sinkhole, ready to catch again. Who knew that at this time, perhaps because of the passage of time, the sky had already darkened, and many of those swallows had already returned to their nests. The number of swallows still flying in the sky had decreased, and they looked sparse.
Hong Chuan's net seemed to be unable to catch more than a few, and at the same time, more swallows were flying into the sinkhole, chirping as they flew towards the steep rock wall.
Hong Chuan looked a little anxious, and waited for a moment with his eyes wide open. Suddenly he saw a small group of swallows flapping their wings and flying over. There were about a dozen of them, and they also flew into the sinkhole. Hong Chuan was shocked, and when he looked again, there were almost no swallows left in the sky. In a hurry, he hurriedly took a step forward and threw the net in his hand towards the last small group of swallows.
The strange net glimmered, it was indeed a magic weapon of the immortals, and it accurately covered those swallows, and then flew back. Hong Chuan was overjoyed, and leaned forward to reach out to catch it, but at this time, he suddenly heard Lu Chen's exclamation behind him, shouting, "Watch your feet!"
Hong Chuan's heart jumped, and subconsciously looked down, but before he could react, his body slanted, and he lost his balance, and fell down.
It turned out that he was already standing not far from the edge of the cliff, and just now the last net was a little hasty, and for a moment he forgot the situation under his feet. He actually stepped on empty air, and immediately slipped and fell down.
This time Hong Chuan was shocked, and cried out involuntarily, and at the same time his hands and feet flailed, desperately trying to grab those rocks and grass on the cliff to maintain his balance.
But this sudden fall, the momentum was not small, those rocks and grass were all broken, and he actually could not hold on, and his entire body still fell down uncontrollably. At this critical moment, suddenly a figure pounced over from above, in a flash, he suddenly stretched out his hand, and grabbed Hong Chuan's hand, and pulled his body.
Hong Chuan's falling momentum suddenly stopped, and at this time his entire body was suspended in the air, and only his right hand was grabbed by Lu Chen who had just pounced to the edge of the cliff.
The mountain breeze blew over, and both of their faces became incomparably pale, obviously they were frightened.
