The six chicks hopped around happily in the car, pecking here and there, their faces filled with curiosity.
Zhou Wen and Li Xuan clearly weren't as relaxed as them. They sat there motionless, afraid that they would anger them and make the giant bird unhappy.
At the same time, they were afraid that the chicks would suddenly have the idea of testing the hardness of their beaks on them.
Bam! Just as he was thinking about it, a little bird suddenly became unhappy, and its beak fiercely pecked at the car door.
The car was bulletproof. Typical bombs couldn't blast open the car door, but the chick managed to pierce a hole through it.
Zhou Wen and Li Xuan instantly broke out in a cold sweat, mixing with the hot sweat on their bodies. They didn't know what it felt like.
Thankfully, the chicks didn't test their beaks on them. Zhou Wen was fine, but Li Xuan was a little unlucky. The chick standing on top of his head actually pooped. Although it wasn't much, it made Li Xuan feel like dying.
With another loud bang, the car shook violently. The huge golden claw that was grabbing the car disappeared as the car seemed to land on solid ground.
However, when Zhou Wen looked out, he immediately knew that he was wrong. They hadn't landed at all. They were halfway up a lonely mountain. The car had landed on a stone platform halfway up the mountain. There was no way to reach the sky or the ground. Unless their car could fly, there was no way they could drive it away.
Whether the car could drive away was secondary. What was most important was whether they could return alive.
Just as Zhou Wen was considering how to survive, Li Xuan secretly tugged at the corner of his shirt and pointed outside the window.
Zhou Wen looked in the direction he was pointing and was immediately alarmed.
This was halfway up a lonely mountain. It was at least seven to eight hundred meters from the ground, but from Li Xuan's window, he could see the canopy of a tree.
I can actually see the canopy here? How tall would that tree be? " Zhou Wen couldn't imagine it. Although there were many mutated plants in this era, he had never seen a tree that was seven to eight hundred meters tall.
If this was converted into a building, it would be two to three hundred stories tall.
The phoenix-like bird landed on the treetop and let out a bird cry. It was so loud that Zhou Wen felt his ears go numb. He couldn't hear anything from the buzzing.
When the six birds heard the cries of the big bird, they hopped out of the window and flew towards the big bird in the canopy.
Only then did Zhou Wen realize that the giant bird didn't live on the mountain peak. Its nest was on the tree.
On the stone platform of the mountain peak, in addition to their car, there were a few other cars. There were SUVs and trucks, and there were a lot of things scattered around.
There were boxes of drinks and carts of wood. All sorts of things were thrown messily on the platform, but there was no one in sight.
"Looks like this isn't the first time the big bird has brought a car up here, but why isn't there a single person? Where did the people in the cars go? Did he escape, or has he already entered the giant bird's stomach? Zhou Wen guessed.
As Zhou Wen pondered over it, the giant bird had already entered the tree hole with the six birds. At that moment, Ah Sheng lowered his voice and said, "That giant bird is too terrifying. We are no match for it. We must not anger it."
"Brother Sheng, is there an Epic creature that you can't deal with?" Li Xuan asked with a glimmer of hope.
"I have some means against Epic creatures, but it's hard to say if it's an Epic creature," Ah Sheng said indifferently.
Li Xuan was alarmed when he heard that. "No way? Could it really be a phoenix from the legends? "
"I don't know if it's a phoenix, but that tree should be the legendary Wutong Tree," Ah Sheng said as he looked at the huge tree outside.
"The tree outside is a Wutong Tree? A phoenix perches on a Wutong Tree. Doesn't that mean that the huge bird from before is really a phoenix? "Li Xuan was even more alarmed.
"That might not be the case. In the past, I followed the Overseer to conquer dimensional zones and have seen Wutong Trees elsewhere. They were slightly smaller than this one. Living on them was an Azure Luan that had almost stepped into the Mythical stage. We suffered heavy losses in that battle. Even the Overseer was severely injured before we managed to kill the Azure Luan and chop down the Wutong Tree, "Ah Sheng said.
"Brother Sheng, what should we do now? Why don't we secretly climb down the mountain at night and escape? "Li Xuan was even more afraid when he heard Ah Sheng's words.
"Ignoring these terrifying dimensional creatures, even ordinary birds have better vision than humans. Whether it's night or day, it doesn't affect them at all." Ah Sheng looked around and saw the cars and the items scattered on the ground.
"Wait here. I'll go out and take a look." With that said, Ah Sheng quietly got out of the car and crawled forward like a snake. It was so quiet that there was no sound at all.
Soon, Ah Sheng returned with quite a number of things hidden in his arms.
"These drinks still have half a year's shelf life. From the looks of it, their owners haven't been here for too long. There's no one here now. If they haven't escaped, there's a high chance that they have already entered the giant bird's stomach." Ah Sheng handed the drinks in his hand to Zhou Wen and Li Xuan. "Only when you're full will you have the strength to escape. We don't have much time. We still have a few dimensional zones to go to and we have to rush to the Holy Land on time. We can't waste too much time here."
The three of them decided to leave immediately while the giant bird had just returned to the tree hole. It was unlikely that it would come out so soon.
After drinking some drinks and eating some snacks to fill their stomachs, the three of them immediately got up and secretly went to the edge of the cliff to look down. Not only was the mountain steep, but the stone walls were as smooth as a mirror. There was almost no place to stand.
"This place is too steep. If I don't use a flying pet, I'm afraid I won't be able to get down," Li Xuan said with a sullen expression.
"You can't use Companion Beasts. Dimensional creatures have territorial instincts. If you use other Companion Beasts, you will be making an enemy of it. When the time comes, it will only infuriate the giant bird.
"Young Master Wen, can you go down yourself?" Ah Sheng asked Zhou Wen.
"Sure." It wasn't difficult for Zhou Wen to continue.
"Alright, I'll carry Li Xuan. Let's go down together." After Ah Sheng said that, he squatted down and waited to carry Li Xuan.
"Brother Sheng, there's no need. There's really no need. I should be able to give it a try myself. It won't be too much of a problem." Li Xuan hurriedly rejected Ah Sheng's good intentions. ‘
The three of them climbed down together, so it was difficult to ascend and descend the mountain. Zhou Wen used the Dragon Gate Fairy Skill to barely maintain his balance as he descended.
After crawling for a while, Zhou Wen saw that Li Xuan was sweating profusely, but it looked like he could still hold on.
He subconsciously turned his head to look in the direction of the tree hole. What he saw scared him out of his wits. The gigantic bird was standing in front of the tree hole's door at some point in time. It was staring coldly at him.
