"Jade Night Bird?" What is that? Gu Zheng asked curiously. He did not take Sun Hu's words to heart at all.
"Senior, the Jade Night Bird is really powerful. Once it reaches adulthood, its strength will not be lower than the peak of the Celestial Immortal Realm. It is extremely ferocious and has other abilities. We are from Foundation Stone Village. There is still a month's journey from here. Let's leave quickly!" Sun Hu said quickly in a short breath.
However, just as he finished speaking, a gust of wind came from above his head. A sudden gust of wind rose in the entire forest. The hanging trees rustled and leaves fell from the sky. In the blink of an eye, a layer of leaves covered the ground.
"It's coming. Senior, please lead my companions away. I will hold it back." Sun Hu said with a determined face. After that, he ran towards the young bird.
However, after just two steps, a pair of hands stopped him and made him stay in place.
Because at this time, a huge bird descended from the sky and quickly blocked in front of the three young birds. Two emerald green eyes stared at the four of them fiercely. However, its figure did not rush up to tear them to pieces like Sun Hu. It seemed to have some concerns as it looked at them.
Its whole body was emerald green. Even its mouth, claws, and every part of its body was green. If it stood still on the tree, it might be mistaken for a branch.
The Jade Night Bird's body was not very big. Instead, it looked a little slender. Its neck looked like a swan's head. It looked very beautiful when it shook. However, its mouth was sharp and short. It really looked like the mouth of an attacking chicken.
At the back of its tail, there were even three different colored feathers. They were flashing with three different colors. A special aura came from them. It was very strange.
However, its entire body was tensed up, and it looked very nervous. Its eyes kept darting between them, but most of its attention was still on Attention.
"Chirp chirp"
The young bird behind it began to chirp. At this time, the young bird's body was covered with white fluff. It was small like a chicken, but slightly bigger.
"Chirp"
At the same time, the Jade Night Bird also chirped twice. Although the sound didn't change much, it was like flowing water, giving people the feeling of a cool breeze. It actually gave Gu Zheng the feeling of a small bridge and flowing water, which surprised him even more.
However, at this moment, the Jade Night Bird's expression softened a little. It seemed to know that what Gu Zheng and the others had done just now did not harm its chicks. Instead, it had protected them.
However, this didn't mean that it wasn't wary of them. It just wasn't as hostile as before.
Only then did Sun Hu breathe a sigh of relief. As soon as he relaxed, he felt his body go limp and weak. The aftereffects of losing too much blood had finally appeared, and he sat down on the ground.
However, he didn't ask himself. Instead, he looked at his unconscious companion and asked worriedly.
"Senior, when will my friend wake up? He clearly doesn't have any injuries on his body. Could there be other problems?"
"Don't worry, the other party is just a little exhausted. He should be able to wake up after resting for a day. Can you tell me what happened in the past few decades?" Gu Zheng glanced casually and cast his gaze on the Jade Night Bird in front of him. It was a little uneasy. Its eyes also looked at Gu Zheng vigilantly. Its whole body blocked the young bird behind it to prevent him from spying.
"Senior, I don't know why you're asking about this. Although you saved our lives, I won't tell you!" These words instantly made Sun Hu a little sensitive. With his many years of experience as a scout, he felt that something was wrong.
He even began to suspect Gu Zheng's identity. After all, if the other party was putting on a show against him, then with his strength, he wouldn't be able to see through the other party's identity.
It might even be the enemy in disguise to deliberately lower his guard.
Feeling the change in the eyes behind him, Gu Zheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Without saying a word, he threw something from his hand and it landed beside the other party.
"Lord Elder, I was too cautious just now. I'm really sorry!" Sun Hu's gaze followed the shining thing and landed on the ground. He looked at the pattern displayed on it and the unique logo and immediately apologized to Gu Zheng.
Even in this place, some people with powerful cultivation didn't like bustling villages. They preferred to cultivate in some remote places. However, they couldn't completely break away from the secular world. In addition, the current situation here required everyone to unite.
Those with powerful cultivation bases had all accepted the invitations of some villages to become guest elders. This token was the token of Sun Hu's village.
He hadn't expected that he would be saved by the guest elder of his village. It was no wonder that the other party wasn't afraid of the Jade Night Bird. The strength of an elder was at least at the Jin Xian level.
"It's okay. I've been in seclusion for a long time this time, so I need to know the situation in recent years. Just tell me everything in detail! Forget about the ordinary matters. Pick out some important matters to tell me. "Gu Zheng casually found a reason. At the same time, he took back the token.
Thinking that he had nothing to do, Gu Zheng took out some ordinary meat and shook it in front of the Jade Night Bird in front of him.
However, it didn't care about Gu Zheng's little trick. Instead, it looked at Gu Zheng with more vigilance. However, it didn't expect that the little guys behind him couldn't help it.
They hadn't eaten enough every day. When they smelled the smell of food at such a close distance, they chirped as if asking their mother why she didn't give them food.
However, the Jade Night Bird was still unmoved. It just spread its wings in front of Gu Zheng and blocked the young birds behind it.
"Elder, there haven't been many major events in recent years. First, the most important thing is that the patriarch's daughter, Xing Cai, has returned. In the tens of thousands of years that she was gone, her strength actually increased three times in a row. She actually went from the early Jin Xian level to the late Jin Xian level, shocking all the tribes. Now, they seem to be discussing the constitution of uniting all the human villages."
Gu Zheng didn't reply. When he heard the news of Xing Cai, he was like a stranger without any reaction. Instead, he took two steps forward and a flame rose in his hand. A tempting fragrance rose in the air. Even the Goblin Xin Mei, who was standing at the side, couldn't help but look over.
Sun Hu glanced at the golden-yellow barbecued meat. The fragrance couldn't help but enter his nose. He couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva and continued.
"The second thing is that after Miss Xing Cai returned, she seemed to want to gather all the humans here. That way, the people here would have more strength to fight against those difficulties. However, from the looks of it, the progress is very slow. Miss Xing Cai can often be seen standing outside the village with a sad face, looking into the distance, as if she was waiting for someone."
Gu Zheng's method seemed to be working. With his strength, even if the meat didn't have any seasoning, it could display a power that far exceeded that of ordinary food. Even the Jade Night Bird's eyes were fixed in front of it, as if it was attracted.
A small baby bird poked its head out from beside the Jade Night Bird. Its eyes were fixed on the food in Gu Zheng's hand. When it saw that its mother wasn't paying attention, it spread its small wings and jumped down from the branch. In the blink of an eye, it fell straight down like a lost plane.
At this time, the Jade Night Bird was still distracted. When it noticed, it was shocked to find that the baby bird was about to fall to the ground. Just as it was about to catch its child in shock, a green feather suddenly appeared on the baby bird's tail. At the same time, a gentle breeze appeared on the baby bird's body, dragging it towards Gu Zheng's palm.
In just a few breaths of time, Sun Hu was only halfway through his speech when the baby bird flew to Gu Zheng's palm. It stretched out its small mouth and quickly pecked at the small piece of meat. Every time it tore off a small piece, it raised its head and swallowed it.
The success of its companion made the baby bird even more anxious. It jumped down from the branch at the same time. It was not afraid of the height at all.
The Jade Night Bird was still marveling at its child's transformation. It didn't expect the other two to follow suit and jump down from the branch.
"Bang Bang"
Two subtle sounds rose in the air. The two baby birds that came later each had a feather on their back. One was red, and the other was blue. However, the colors were very light. If one didn't look carefully, they would have thought that they were white tail feathers.
Of the two baby birds, one of them actually pulled out an extremely thin line of fire from its tail. It was thinner than a strand of hair. It shot onto Gu Zheng's thumb and flew up with the line of fire.
As for the other baby bird, its tail flashed with a blue light and a layer of very fine mist sprayed out from it. Although it might not even be able to wet the palm, its body used the recoil force to directly rush onto Gu Zheng's palm.
However, when the two of them came, the last bit of residue was eaten by the first baby bird. The two baby birds anxiously squeezed around Gu Zheng's palm, trying to find some residue. However, the first baby bird didn't leave any for them. It made them cry out anxiously. Their black eyes looked at Gu Zheng and cried out.
"Don't worry, take your time. There's more!" Gu Zheng's other hand conjured another piece of meat as if he was performing a magic trick. However, this piece was clearly much larger. The flame in his hand disappeared in a flash, but this short amount of time was enough for the meat to return to its previous state.
With a slight shake of the palm, the meat immediately bounced from the palm and was divided into three equal portions. It fell from the sky in front of the three baby birds.
A layer of golden light laid down below and connected to the center of the palm. The first cyan chick rushed over without any hesitation. It arrived in front of a piece of meat and began to eat happily.
When the two baby birds next to it saw this, they immediately flapped their small wings and ran toward the food. Moreover, they very tacitly ran to the other side of the food. No one disturbed the other.
Gu Zheng looked and chuckled. Then, a few more pieces of meat were stacked on top of it. It was enough for them to eat for a while.
"What's wrong? Just these two things? "Looking at the stunned Sun Hu behind him, Gu Zheng opened his mouth and asked.
"No, the last big thing happened ten years ago. The Goblin on the other side tried to pass through the pass that we were guarding. This time, their strength was far greater than before, causing us to suffer a great loss. If it wasn't for Miss Xing Cai's outstanding performance, we might have suffered even greater losses this time. Even so, our tribe's Elder Ye was captured by them. This made Miss Xing Cai very anxious. She wanted to urge everyone to work together." Sun Hu quickly regained his senses and stopped looking at the strange scene as he spoke to Gu Zheng.
"Who is Elder Ye?" Gu Zheng looked at the Jade Night Bird in front of him. He took out a pill that was surrounded by white light from his hand and pushed it forward. The pill floated in the air and slowly stopped in front of the Jade Night Bird.
Hearing this, his hand movements slowed down and he asked in a deep voice.
"That's Miss Xing Cai's grandfather, but he's not her biological grandfather. It's said that Elder Ye used to dote on Miss Xing Cai very much. He was like his own granddaughter, just like her biological grandfather. That's why Elder Ye was so anxious when he was captured." Sun Hu told him the news that he had just heard.
These things had happened a long time ago. It was also because of this news that everyone understood why Miss Xing Cai was so anxious.
However, even if she knew this, Xing Cai didn't dare to rush forward. Even if she was inside, if she really rushed in alone, it would be like throwing a meat bun at a dog.
Gu Zheng's movements suddenly stopped. His gaze was uncertain as he looked at the Jade Night Bird in front of him. In the end, he couldn't resist the temptation of the pill. In the end, he reached out and swallowed it. The green light on his body became even greener.
"Is there only one person from your village guarding this place?" Gu Zheng suddenly asked.
"No, our village is the strongest, so we're at the front. There are close to 20 villages behind us. When the battle starts, they will rush out together. Moreover, there's a small city behind us. Their main purpose is to provide us with some resources. There are also some Goblin experts to prevent the other party from breaking through. This is because the other party will attack us from time to time. It can range from a few years to a hundred years." Sun Hu said honestly. These were the most basic things. Logically speaking, this elder should know about them. However, with the token, he didn't ask any more questions.
"Ji."
The Jade Night Bird suddenly took two steps forward, and its long neck tentatively leaned over.
Gu Zheng reached out and gently leaned his hand over. Under Sun Hu's shocked gaze, the Jade Night Bird actually took the initiative to lean over.
One must know that no one wanted to encounter it in the wild. Not only was it cruel by nature, but it was also very fierce. It would also attack humans and Goblin at the slightest provocation. However, if the other party really wanted to hide, it would be very difficult to find it.
If you were to be hated by it, you could only wait for bad luck. It wouldn't even be strange if you died. However, it was now as obedient as a rabbit, which shocked him.
"She won't be able to hold on any longer. She has already suffered serious injuries. Especially with the changes of these three little guys. Although it's a good thing that they mutated early, she can no longer afford to raise them!" Gu Zheng looked back at Sun Hu and said faintly.
At this time, a few more pills were flipped out from his hand and directly handed to the Jade Night Bird. This time, she didn't hesitate at all. She gently pecked at the palm of her hand and the pills disappeared. It seemed that she was no longer unfamiliar with them.
"Why haven't you left yet?" Looking at Sister Xin, who was like a sculpture from beginning to end, Gu Zheng suddenly spoke.
"Ah? I … I can still leave here! " Sister Xin was obviously shocked. She was already in a daze just now. She didn't expect to hear this news.
"Of course. Although you attacked me just now, I don't have time to settle accounts with a junior like you. It's better to let you go back and meet your little sweetheart. It's not good to break you two up." Gu Zheng said expressionlessly. No one knew what he was thinking.
"Ah, thank you senior for not killing me!" When Sister Xin heard this, she immediately thanked him in ecstasy. She began to run outside quickly. As she ran, she turned back to look at Gu Zheng. She was afraid that the other party was deliberately doing this to give her hope and then make her despair.
However, after she left this place in fear and ran far away, she found that the other party had really let her go. She couldn't help but sigh in relief. Perhaps she had met a human with a strange personality who disdained to be calculative with a junior like her. In short, she was really safe.
"Damned Fan Yu. To think that I, Luo Xin, trusted you so much. This time, I'll teach you a lesson!" Luo Xin couldn't help but whisper while gnashing her teeth.
Then, after taking a look at the nearby scenery, she ran towards the other side of the line of defense and quickly left here.
"Elder, why did you let him go? This time he appeared here, he must have some way to pass through the Line Peak. Now that Hei Feng is pervading the mountain top, it's impossible for him to climb over. It also doesn't look like he went around the Line Peak and walked over from the exit. He might have some useful information on him. Even if he doesn't, he doesn't look like an ordinary person. It might be useful for him. "When the other party disappeared, Sun Hu immediately asked Gu Zheng in confusion. He wanted Gu Zheng to catch the other party.
"Information? Don't these two below have it? I still have some use for them. "Gu Zheng pointed to the two guards below who looked like they could die at any time and said to him.
Gu Zheng snapped his fingers. The three hatchlings, who were already full, looked up when they heard the sound. When they saw the outstretched hand, they jumped up and squeezed their way over. They didn't seem unfamiliar at all.
Gu Zheng placed the hatchlings on top of the Jade Night Bird's head, then took out a rope. He threaded a pure white jade pendant through the rope and hung it around her neck. A light flashed on the pendant and the Jade Night Bird's aura was imprinted on it. Then, he patted her neck and said softly.
"Little Ye, it's not easy to go out. This thing will be your food for now. You should know how to use it. These three fellows seem to have undergone some unimaginable changes. If you trust me, follow him back to Foundation Village and wait for me to come back. At that time, I'll give you a good home to return to and guarantee that your family will survive smoothly."
The Jade Night Bird nodded her head like a human and understood Gu Zheng's meaning. Her body shook and the hatchlings on top of her head slid down her long neck and into her feathers one by one, hiding among them.
"Take my token and bring my little friends back to the village. While you're at it, pass this to Miss Xing Cai. She'll understand what it means! I'm going to do something else. I'll be back soon! "
Gu Zheng said to Sun Hu as he took out a small blue bead. Inside the bead, there were some sea waves rippling.
