Ah Sheng and Li Xuan clearly noticed it as well. They sprawled on the mountain wall, not daring to move.
The giant bird spread its wings and flapped them. Zhou Wen and company immediately felt that something was amiss. They felt a hurricane rise up and sweep their bodies up.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
The three of them fell back onto the stone platform and saw stars. It took them a while to stand up.
However, when they turned their heads to look at the tree hole, they didn't see the giant bird. They looked around but didn't find any traces of it. It was as though it had returned to the tree hole.
"From the looks of it, it already knew that we were here. Since it didn't kill us, why did it leave us here? Could it be that it treats us as food and plans on keeping us for the new year? "Li Xuan was still in the mood to joke.
"I don't know if it's keeping us for the new year, but it must have deliberately left us here," Zhou Wen said.
"Since it didn't kill us, we still have a chance. Let's think of other solutions," Ah Sheng said as he looked around the platform.
Since the giant bird had already targeted them, it was useless no matter how careful they were. Zhou Wen also circled the platform to see if he could find anything useful.
"This isn't bad." Li Xuan found a Playboy magazine in the driver's compartment of a truck.
Zhou Wen picked up a bottle of drink and saw that it still had more than a month before its expiration date. He opened it and drank as he came to an SUV. The SUV looked very old. All the windows were shattered and the body was severely deformed.
The car was covered in mud, and the interior was similar. It looked like it had been weathered by the elements. It had likely been here for a long time.
Zhou Wen looked inside and saw a plush doll covered in mud in the backseat. He thought to himself, The owner of this car likely has a child. I wonder what happened to them. I hope they are fine.
There was too much mud in the car, and there didn't seem to be anything useful. Just as Zhou Wen was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly saw a stick-like object covered in mud.
Zhou Wen reached in and pulled it out.
It's really a saber. Zhou Wen wiped away the mud on the outside, revealing the item's true appearance. It was a sheathed saber.
The saber was straight, so the scabbard was also straight. Connected to the hilt, it looked like a stick about four feet long.
After wiping it clean, he discovered that the entire design of the saber was like a green bamboo. The top section of the bamboo was the handle, and the bottom four sections were the scabbard. At first glance, it looked like a bamboo stick.
In fact, the hilt and scabbard were made of metal and were very heavy.
Zhou Wen tried to pull it out, but he couldn't.
"Zhou Wen, what are you doing?" Li Xuan ran over and stared at the Bamboo Blade in Zhou Wen's hand.
I found a saber, but I can't pull it out. Zhou Wen couldn't help but be alarmed after failing to pull it out a few times.
He was extremely strong. He could easily snap steel bars, but he was surprised that he couldn't pull out the Bamboo Blade.
"No matter how I look at it, it looks like a bamboo pole. Where's the saber?" Li Xuan said as he looked at the Bamboo Blade in Zhou Wen's hand.
"No, it's a saber. Its name is Bamboo Blade." When Ah Sheng heard their conversation, he walked over and saw the Bamboo Blade. He asked in surprise, "Where did you find this Bamboo Blade?"
"It's in this car." Zhou Wen pointed at the off-road vehicle beside him and said, "I wonder if it's rusted inside. I can't pull it out."
Ah Sheng got into the off-road vehicle and said as he searched, "The material used to forge the Bamboo Blade is Primordial Gold. Even the scabbard won't rust, much less the blade. This blade has a special design. Just turn it counterclockwise and you'll be able to pull it out."
Zhou Wen followed Ah Sheng's instructions and turned the hilt. Although it was very heavy, he managed to turn it. When he pulled it out, he immediately pulled out a portion of the blade.
The blade was like a deep pool that suffused a chilling aura. The blade was only two fingers wide, and the back of the blade was slightly wide. The blade was extremely thin, giving off the feeling that it could easily slice through anything.
Zhou Wen pulled out the blade and casually waved it. The blade swept past a car window beside him and sliced it apart. Zhou Wen didn't even feel any resistance from the blade. It was terrifyingly sharp.
"Isn't this blade so sharp? Furthermore, it's made of Primordial Gold. Do you have any more? Find me one too. "Li Xuan was also shocked by the sharpness of the Bamboo Blade.
"There's only one Bamboo Blade in the entire League. Where are you going to find it?" Ah Sheng crawled out of the off-road vehicle. His hands were empty, clearly indicating that he hadn't found anything.
"Are you serious? The An family has plenty of Primordial Gold. Isn't it easy to make a blade?" Li Xuan said in disbelief.
"Primordial Gold is a regulated product. The usage of every gram of Primordial Gold is recorded. The League is very strict in this area, so it's impossible for the An family to use the Primordial Gold for no reason. Furthermore, this blade wasn't forged by the An family," Ah Sheng said as he looked at the Bamboo Blade in Zhou Wen's hand.
Zhou Wen handed the Bamboo Blade to Ah Sheng who carefully looked at the blade and said, "The blade's body is like an abyss with faint blood patterns beneath it. This is indeed the Bamboo Blade of the Four Gentlemen Blades. I never expected the Bamboo Blade that has been missing for so many years to be here."
"What Four Gentlemen Blades? Why have I never heard of it? "Li Xuan asked.
Ah Sheng didn't answer Li Xuan. He held the blade and gently slashed his palm. Immediately, a bloody mark appeared on his palm as blood flowed down the blade, forming a line of blood that didn't drip.
"Brother Sheng, what are you doing?" Li Xuan and Zhou Wen looked at Ah Sheng in a daze.
"A gentleman doesn't fight. If there's a need to fight, blood will definitely be spilled. Therefore, the Four Gentlemen Blades have to see blood when they are unsheathed. Otherwise, it will be disadvantageous to its owner." As Ah Sheng spoke, he waved the blade and the blood line on the blade was immediately flung away. The blade was spotless like a pool of autumn water.
After sheathing the blade, Ah Sheng returned it to Zhou Wen. "Young Master Wen, although this blade is sharp, it's really inauspicious. It's best not to use it if possible."
Zhou Wen nodded and took the Bamboo Blade. "Who's the owner of this blade? Will someone come knocking on my door in the future? "
Ah Sheng shook his head and said, "The person who forged the blade has been dead for many years. The original four owners of the Plum, Orchid, Bamboo, and Chrysanthemum Blades didn't have a good ending either. Later, these four blades were scattered and gradually disappeared. Their subsequent owners probably didn't have a good ending either."
"What era are we in? Why do we still believe in such superstitions? Wouldn't we be fools if we don't use such a good blade?" Li Xuan said disapprovingly.
Ah Sheng didn't argue and only asked, "The Overseer's father, Old Master An, was once the owner of the Plum Blade."
Upon hearing that, Li Xuan immediately fell silent. An Tianzuo's father, Ouyang Lan's former husband, was once the head of the An family with a bright future. However, he had died early due to an accident. His death was extremely pitiful. All the wealthy families in Luoyang knew about this, so Li Xuan naturally knew about it.
If this was really the inauspiciousness brought about by the Four Gentlemen Blades, it was truly terrifying.
