Chapter 991 - 0 The Charm of Jin Yu! (4th Update)
Encountering this group of aerial overlords again, Ye Qiu feels a headache. If they were all mythical-level ancient beast vultures, it would be fine, but among them, there is one extremely extraordinary existence.
The golden head bird.
To prevent Ye Qiu and Jin Yu from turning around and fleeing, the vultures have encircled their back route, seemingly intent on surrounding Ye Qiu and Jin Yu.
The number of these vultures hasn’t decreased much; it seems their confrontation with the Wind Horn Beast didn’t cause significant losses to the vultures.
Ye Qiu’s eyes flicker as he considers forcibly breaking through. Otherwise, if these creatures attack him together, he won’t be able to hold out for long.
This time, with the help of the rules of wind power, he should be able to escape from the current predicament.
Ye Qiu waits for the other side to attack. As soon as they move, he and Jin Yu will seize a gap to escape.
However, Ye Qiu waits for a long time but doesn’t see the head bird showing any intention to attack, and without its signal, the surrounding vultures also dare not make a move.
The scene is momentarily very quiet.
The sky is dark, and the sight of Ye Qiu and Jin Yu surrounded in the middle catches the eyes of many people.
"Isn’t that the heavy-taste, bird-hugging runner?" Someone recognizes the silhouette in the sky, remembering the day they saw a person being chased by vultures.
"Isn’t he Ye Qiu? Attacked by these vultures, he’s in trouble. These ancient beasts won’t be polite."
"I’m looking forward to a human-ancient beast battle."
On the ground, many recognize Ye Qiu. Last time, he fled in a hurry, leaving only a shadow for the crowd, but now, they can clearly see who is in the sky.
Brother Ye!
In another part of the forest, Yue Lun and others also witness this scene.
"Master Ye is in danger again," said a young man from the Yue clan worriedly.
"It’s a shame that we’re too weak to help. Each of us can only handle one of these big birds, but there are thousands of them, a drop in the ocean."
At the location of the safety passage, many figures emerge quickly; these people constitute the second batch entering the Barbaric Wilderness Forest and have been roaming around within a hundred miles for two or three days.
Many people are becoming familiar with the environment in the Barbaric Wilderness Forest, feeling that practicing here is the fastest way to improve.
During this time, many have seen the might of ancient beasts, and quite a few martial artists have been killed by ancient beasts, becoming meals.
Tang Hai and Tang Yun, the two elders, move forward quietly without provoking anyone, the strong aura they emit keeps many from daring to approach, especially since the two are moving together, it makes many people glance frequently, showing apprehension.
"What do you see over there, all dark?" freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
Elder Tang Hai points to the distance, able to discern the densely shadowed area.
"It should be flying ancient beasts," Elder Tang Yun responds.
"Such a large number of ancient beasts, could there be a large number of ancient beast eggs nearby?" Elder Tang Hai’s words arouse Elder Tang Yun’s interest.
"Tsk tsk...makes sense." Elder Tang Yun nods, quickly saying, "Let’s hurry over there to see what’s happening. If it’s a battle between ancient beasts, that’s even better; we can take advantage of it."
The two elders leap into the air, others also think of this, seeing some people heading quickly towards the dark area on the horizon, many immediately follow.
For ancient beast eggs, even if those two strong men are difficult to deal with, one must fight for it.
Tang Hai and Tang Yun along with many martial artists who rushed afterward, all head to the position occupied by the vultures.
...
What exactly does the vulture head bird mean?
Ye Qiu waits for a long time, but no vulture attacks; instead, the head bird walks over, continuously glancing at Jin Yu.
However you look at it, Ye Qiu feels like this head bird seems to look at Jin Yu like a beauty, staring fixedly.
What’s going on?
Jin Yu is male, could it be...
Ye Qiu scrutinizes the head bird anew, and indeed, it looks quite similar to Jin Yu, covered in gold; if not for differences in aura and size, Ye Qiu might not distinguish them.
The head bird scrutinizes Jin Yu, and Jin Yu stares back, the two birds facing each other, constantly looking at each other, occasionally making incomprehensible calls.
Ye Qiu doesn’t understand bird language, but through spiritual power, sensing Jin Yu’s emotional changes, he does detect a clue.
Turns out this group of vultures’ head bird is indeed a female bird, because Ye Qiu discovers that Jin Yu has a crown-like crest on its head, whereas the giant gold bird on the other side does not.
Is it possible that this group of vultures surrounds him and Jin Yu because of Jin Yu?
Ye Qiu is astounded to discover that this seems to be the case.
Apparently, the giant gold bird is very interested in Jin Yu.
Despite Jin Yu not being as large as the other, its color is exceptionally striking, Ye Qiu feeds it with pills like daily meals, making its feathers glow gold, bright and shiny.
From afar, it gleams brilliantly and is incredibly eye-catching.
"Has this big bird taken a fancy to our Jin Yu?" Ye Qiu chuckles helplessly, watching the giant gold bird approach Jin Yu, gently rubbing its head affectionately. Ye Qiu naturally understands that the big bird bears no malice; on the contrary, it genuinely wants to get close to Jin Yu.
At this moment, Ye Qiu finally understands why the big bird stayed for days when he was sprinting with Jin Yu, unwilling to leave; it wasn’t for a taste of him and Jin Yu but to try to befriend Jin Yu. On the contrary, Ye Qiu mistakenly thought the flock had targeted them.
"So, leaving the Wind Sand Valley and leading the ancient beast to the vultures was doing more harm than good?" They originally didn’t plan to hurt them; instead, the vultures helped them block the Wind Horn Beast’s attack.
Upon realizing this, Ye Qiu laughs bitterly, feeling Jin Yu saved him, causing the vulture head bird to step in and help fend off the Wind Horn Beast.
However, regarding Jin Yu’s lifelong matters, Ye Qiu thinks it should be left to Jin Yu. If it doesn’t fancy the big bird on the other side, Ye Qiu is determined to fight his way out, refusing compliance.
Yet to Ye Qiu’s astonishment, the big gold bird is extraordinarily gentle in front of Jin Yu, showing a little-bird-dependent demeanor, leaning beside Jin Yu, while the surrounding vultures unanimously call out, seeming to celebrate their head bird finding its chosen mate.
"Tsk tsk...looks like Ye Qiu decides to fulfill this pair of birds."
"A pair of lovebirds becomes a couple after all."
Originally expecting a confrontation, everyone is surprised to find the vulture head bird actually wooing Jin Yu beside Ye Qiu, clearly pursuing Jin Yu.
"Men chase women across mountains, women chase men through a veil, even among birds, it’s the same."
Ye Qiu looks at Jin Yu’s little eyes and can’t help but read a hint of pride in them.
This truly leaves him speechless, feeling as if his own creature is being kept by another, and the creature is quite pleased about it.
"Do you have to be so spineless..."
"But being sensible is wise, Jin Yu, I support you, as long as you nod, then we’re all safe."
