"These look like eggshell fragments," Ah Sheng carefully sized up the fragments and said after a moment of thought.
"Eggshell fragments?" Zhou Wen carefully sized up the six fragments and indeed, they looked like the irregular shape of an eggshell after it shattered.
Furthermore, the fragments were curved, making Zhou Wen even more certain that Ah Sheng was right. There was a high chance that these fragments were the eggshells of the six chicks.
But why did they bring the eggshells in front of me? Could it be that they want to treat me to eggshells? I can eat bird eggs, but I can't eat eggshells. Zhou Wen felt depressed and didn't care if they could understand him. He coughed lightly and said to them, "Thank you for your kind intentions, but I don't eat eggshells. It's best you keep these eggshells."
It was unknown if they didn't understand him or if there was some other reason, but the six chicks stood in a row in front of Zhou Wen and stared at him as though they hadn't heard him.
Seeing that they weren't moving, Zhou Wen knew that it wasn't a solution to continue this stalemate. Therefore, he picked up an eggshell and said, "I just want one. I'll take it back and slowly eat it."
Zhou Wen pinched the eggshell and found it smooth and warm to the touch. It was like the legendary warm jade. If he hadn't seen these chicks before, no one would have imagined that it was an eggshell fragment.
As Zhou Wen spoke, he placed the fragment into his pocket, hoping that he could bluff his way out of this.
He never expected it to work. Seeing Zhou Wen take a fragment, the other five chicks ran back with their fragments in their mouths. Only the chick that had its fragment taken by Zhou Wen remained standing in its spot, looking at him in a daze.
Zhou Wen finally heaved a sigh of relief. If these chicks insisted on making him eat the eggshell fragment now, Zhou Wen would have no choice but to fight to the death even though he knew he wasn't their match. He really couldn't eat it.
I wonder what other tricks these chicks have up their sleeves? Just as Zhou Wen was pondering over it, he saw the huge bird on the charred wood spread its wings. Immediately, a hot wind swept up the trio like a tornado, lifting them into the air and throwing them out of the tree hole.
The three of them felt like they were riding on a cloud. All they could see was a distorted golden light. When the terrifying force disappeared and the three of them fell to the ground, they realized that there was no longer a parasol tree in front of them. Instead, they were on a mountain path. There were still traces of a collision on the mountain path's guardrail. It was where they had parked their car.
Li Xuan looked around and didn't find any traces of the giant bird. He couldn't help but exclaim in pleasant surprise, "We've returned to our original spot. That giant bird actually let us go?
Zhou Wen was delighted as well, but when he suddenly heard a bird's cry, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. He imagined that the giant bird was here again, but on careful thought, he felt that something was amiss. The bird's cry was clearly very young and didn't have any terrifying might. It wasn't the giant bird's cry, but more like a chick's.
Zhou Wen looked down and saw a chick standing by his feet in a daze. It was looking at him with its head tilted.
Why was this chick swept out as well? Zhou Wen was alarmed, but on second thought, he felt that it might not be a mistake by the giant bird.
Previously, when the six chicks had brought the fragments for Zhou Wen to take, he found it odd. Back then, he hadn't thought too much about it, but now that he suddenly saw a chick being sent out, he had many thoughts.
Could it be that I was actually choosing these chicks when I took the fragments? Would the chick I chose leave with me? If that's the case, what would have happened if I had taken all six? Zhou Wen reached out and picked up the chick. The chick didn't resist and allowed Zhou Wen to hold it in his palm. It tilted its head and stared at Zhou Wen with its round eyes.
"Old Zhou, don't tell me the giant bird gave this chick to you? This isn't fair. We did the work together. Why are you the only one with a gift? Brother Sheng and I don't get anything? "Li Xuan also saw the crux of the problem.
"I still don't know if it's a blessing or a curse." Zhou Wen shook his head slightly as he held the chick and shouted in the direction of the mountains, "Divine bird, do you want me to take it away?"
After shouting three times, there was no response. Zhou Wen had no choice but to take the chick with him.
Without a car, the three of them could only walk. Although they could run very fast, to the point of not losing to a car, a human's body wasn't a machine after all. Their stamina was very limited. After running for a long time, no matter how strong a human was, they would exhaust their strength.
And in the mountainous wilderness, especially near the Qinling Mountains, if they really ran out of strength, they would be in trouble if they encountered a few dimensional creatures.
The three of them didn't dare run too fast. They ran for a while and walked slowly for a while.
Ah Sheng had originally planned on taking them to a dimensional zone near the Qinling Mountains, but due to the lack of a car and the lack of signal, he had no choice but to abandon his previous plan and rush to the next city as quickly as possible.
Ah Sheng told Zhou Wen that if they didn't arrive at the next city within the predetermined time, the An family would send a rescue team to search for them. Therefore, they had to contact the An family as soon as possible.
The Qinling Mountains were just too mysterious. Although they were only near the Qinling Mountains and hadn't really entered, they had already seen many mysterious things.
One night, Zhou Wen and company heard immortal music coming from the Qinling Mountains. It was as though fairies were playing and dancing in the mountains.
Although Zhou Wen wanted to take a look, he knew that he couldn't take the risk.
Along the way, they saw many plants that they had never seen before. There were mushrooms that were taller than buildings, grass that looked like humans, and all sorts of strange things. And this was only the periphery of the Qinling Mountains.
Although they encountered many strange things along the way, nothing unexpected happened after encountering the giant bird. The three of them spent three days before finally passing through the Qinling Mountains and arriving at a small city.
Ah Sheng contacted the An family and reported the situation in time, stopping the An family's rescue team that was about to set off.
"The original plan was to let you go to a few dimensional zones to train, but it's too late now. I've already contacted a plane. It will come to pick us up in a while and head straight to the Holy Land," Ah Sheng said to Zhou Wen and Li Xuan after the call.
Zhou Wen and Li Xuan felt that it was best to head straight to the Holy Land to avoid any more trouble. After witnessing the terror of the giant bird, they didn't dare to casually walk in the wilderness.
After resting for half a day, an armed helicopter came to pick them up and took them to a large city with an airport. Then, they took a plane to the Holy City.
As many areas in the sky were enveloped by dimensional zones, planes couldn't fly freely. Most of the routes that had been used in the past could no longer be used. Only a few areas could be flown through. Now, the airport was taken over by the League government, and the crew members were all military officers.
