Lu Ye was dumbfounded. Only now did he realize how dangerous the pink nebula was. Not to mention him, even Yaya might not be able to withstand such an attack.
However, the Blue Bird didn't seem to notice it at all. It simply ignored the attacks of the pink tentacles and allowed them to hit its body. Green halos flashed across its body, blocking the attacks of the tentacles, while the pair of sharp claws under its feet kept moving.
After an unknown period of time, the pink nebula split open from the middle, and the Blue Bird pecked down with its beak. Lu Ye didn't see clearly what it pecked, but he vaguely saw something that looked like a huge pink worm being pecked into its mouth. It raised its head and swallowed it.
After the Blue Bird swallowed the pink worm-like thing, the pink tentacles that were still attacking it seemed to have lost their power. They fell limply and merged back into the nebula.
However, the Blue Bird seemed to be drunk. Its body swayed left and right, and it flapped its wings a few times. After a while, it lay on the nebula, motionless.
"Let's go, let's go!" Lu Ye hurriedly called out to Li Shang. They couldn't stay here any longer. Although the Blue Bird didn't seem to notice them, such a ferocious bird wasn't something they could provoke. What made Lu Ye's hair stand on end was that the nebula in the Thousand Hills Grave seemed to be alive …
Li Shang also knew that they couldn't stay here any longer. He hurriedly steered the Star Boat to the side at full speed.
Just as the Star Boat was making a detour, Lu Ye suddenly saw the cyan bird raise its head and cast a glance in his direction. Even though they were tens of thousands of miles apart, Lu Ye still felt a chill run down his spine from his head to the soles of his feet when he saw the cyan bird.
Then, he saw the Blue Bird open its beak. Li Shang immediately cried out in alarm, because an inexplicable suction force suddenly appeared around them. Under the suction force, he couldn't steer the Star Boat anymore.
The next moment, the Star Boat flew towards the Blue Bird like an arrow leaving the bow.
"It's over!" Lu Ye's expression was bitter. He knew that he was really going to die this time. He had seen the Blue Bird's power from afar just now and knew that it was not something he could resist. Even if he asked Yaya to help, the chances were slim.
With this bite, the Star Boat and the people on it would definitely be devoured.
"Why am I so unlucky?" Lu Ye was puzzled. Everything had been fine along the way, but now they had to suffer a calamity.
He and Li Shang were both nervous and perturbed. Yaya, on the other hand, was clapping her hands and cheering with a happy look on her face, as if she was completely unaware of the imminent doom.
In less than ten breaths of time, the Star Boat had traveled hundreds of thousands of miles and was sucked right in front of the blue bird. However, to Lu Ye's surprise, just as the Star Boat was about to fall into the blue bird's mouth, the power that was trying to devour the Star Boat suddenly disappeared.
Just like that, the Star Boat floated in front of the blue bird.
Looking at it from a close distance, Lu Ye could feel the magnificence of the Blue Bird's body. At this moment, Lu Ye couldn't see the Blue Bird's full appearance at all, only a pair of huge sun-like eyes blocking his vision.
The Blue Bird seemed to be really drunk, as its eyes were somewhat hazy. It tilted its head and sized up the Star Boat, then looked at the three little people on it. Then, its eyelids opened and closed, and it seemed to have lost its interest in studying them. Once again, it lay down on the nebula and closed its eyes to take a nap.
Lu Ye and Li Shang didn't even dare to breathe loudly. Only when the Blue Bird lay down again did Lu Ye let out a sigh of relief. He knew that the Blue Bird had no interest in them at all, and probably only brought them here because it was curious about their Star Boat.
Fortunately, they weren't swallowed by the Blue Bird. Perhaps it was because the Blue Bird was full, otherwise, they would have died in vain.
Lu Ye slowly turned his head and looked at Li Shang. He gave him a meaningful glance, and Li Shang nodded knowingly.
Just as the two of them stealthily prepared to leave while the Blue Bird was taking a nap, Yaya suddenly jumped up from the Star Boat with a joyful cry.
Lu Ye was shocked and raised his hand to grab her, but Yaya's movements were so fast that Lu Ye couldn't catch her at all.
Then, he saw Yaya fly to the Blue Bird's beak and climb all the way up. Judging from her posture, it seemed that she wanted to fly to the bird's head!
Lu Ye's blood turned cold again …
But soon, he found that he was overthinking, because Yaya's movements were quite loud, but the Blue Bird didn't seem to care at all. It just lay there, minding its own business.
Even when Yaya stood on the Blue Bird's head and waved at Lu Ye, the Blue Bird still didn't respond.
It was impossible that such a powerful bird didn't notice anything. Since it didn't respond, it meant that it didn't care about it.
Lu Ye had mixed feelings. It seemed that sometimes being too weak wasn't a bad thing. At the very least, the strong wouldn't have any interest in the weak.
"Let's go and have a look!" Lu Ye turned his head and said to Li Shang. At this point, it was useless to be afraid.
As he spoke, he flashed out of the Star Boat and flew up with Li Shang. Soon, they arrived at the Blue Bird's head.
Lu Ye thought that Yaya had called him up because she had found something strange, but it turned out that wasn't the case. Yaya was lying on a feather on the Blue Bird's head with a comfortable expression. After Lu Ye and Li Shang came up, she patted the side and motioned for Lu Ye to lie down as well.
Lu Ye lay down beside her and Li Shang on the other side. Yaya was even happier, holding each of their arms and giggling non-stop.
Lu Ye lay down for a while and found nothing mysterious. He stood up again and looked around. Soon, he was attracted by the nebula where the Blue Bird was lying.
This nebula was originally a whole mass, but after it was torn apart by the green bird's sharp claws, it had not been restored. Looking down from this position, the scene looked like a grave that had been split open, and it was pink inside.
Thinking about it, Lu Ye asked Li Shang to stay where he was with Yaya, and he flew down.
He was still very curious about the mystery of this grave nebula. He didn't have the chance to explore it, but now that he had the chance, he naturally wanted to see it.
The grave nebula had been torn apart, and the big worm-like thing inside had been swallowed by the Blue Bird. There should be no danger.
Entering the grave through the huge crack, he saw pink everywhere. Looking from the inside, it was like a fleshy chamber, like the viscera of some creature. Lu Ye could feel that there seemed to be some strange aura left inside. This aura was familiar to him, but he couldn't remember what it was.
After looking around for a while, Lu Ye's eyes were quickly attracted by something in a corner of the nebula.
The object was several dozen feet long and had signs of being broken. Lu Ye pondered for a moment and understood what it was. It was the broken part of the big insect that the Blue Bird had swallowed. It looked like the insect's tail.
It seemed that although the Blue Bird had swallowed the big worm, there were still some remnants, but these remnants were too small for the Blue Bird to be interested in.
Lu Ye was very interested. For the Blue Bird, dozens of feet was indeed small, but for him, it was very big.
Walking forward, he came to where the worm's tail was, and the familiar aura became stronger.
Lu Ye raised his hand and touched it, finding that it felt like flesh, but what surprised Lu Ye was that this worm's tail seemed to contain an extremely rich and surging energy.
With a thought, he urged the power of the Talent Tree, and invisible roots extended and pierced into the worm's tail.
The next moment, Lu Ye showed a look of surprise, because the energy in this broken worm's tail was indeed surging, even beyond his imagination.
So far, the resources he had used for his cultivation were nothing more than Spirit Jade. He had also tried to refine a few Spirit Crystals, but in comparison, the energy contained in Spirit Crystals was purer and stronger than Spirit Jade, but it was far inferior to the energy contained in this worm's tail.
Lu Ye's eyes lit up. This was a treasure!
This worm's tail could be used as a Spirit Jade or even a Spirit Crystal. If converted into Spirit Crystals, it was estimated that it would be worth millions of pieces.
And this was only an insignificant part of it, the Blue Bird had swallowed the bulk of it.
This was only from the Grave Mound Nebula, and the Grave Mound Nebula in the Thousand Mound Grave was difficult to calculate. If every grave mound contained such a treasure, then this place was simply a land of treasures!
Lu Ye was a little puzzled. Did the powerhouses in the starry sky not know about the situation here, or did they not know of such a place, or did they not have the ability to obtain it?
But no matter what the situation was, this worm's tail was his!
Lu Ye was in a good mood. He had never imagined that being sucked here by the Blue Bird would result in such an astonishing harvest.
He tried to put the worm's tail into his storage ring, but he couldn't because it was too big. After inspecting it, he found that the end of the worm's tail was still connected to the nebula. It was probably because of this that the Blue Bird's tail broke when it swallowed the strange worm.
Lu Ye could only take out the Pan Shan Saber and cut the worm's tail into pieces.
This was physical work because the worm's tail was very tough. Even the Pan Shan Saber with the Divine Edge could only do limited damage to it. Lu Ye could only urge the Ten Thousand Tidal Waves to create a saw on the Pan Shan Saber's blade, slowly sawing the worm's tail.
By the time he had sawed the worm's tail into a dozen pieces and put them all into his storage ring, several days had passed.
During this time, Li Shang came down to check once, but seeing that he was busy, he didn't disturb him.
It was not until several days later that Lu Ye put away all the worm's tails. After checking around and making sure that there was nothing left, he flew out.
Reunited with Li Shang and Yaya, Lu Ye looked at the Blue Bird under his feet. There was no longer much fear in his heart. Instead, he was full of gratitude to the Blue Bird.
If he wasn't in a hurry to return to the Nine States, he would have stayed here for a while. Maybe he could get some benefits from the Blue Bird.
The Blue Bird was still sleeping. It seemed that after eating the worm, it needed some time to digest.
Lu Ye took Li Shang and Yaya back to the Star Boat and set off on the way back.
