Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

#154 - Chapter 153: Tooth Bird

“Senior, why are you flying away from the sky so hastily?” Seeing that Ape Thirteen's escape light was not falling, Min Huiye asked anxiously.

“Did you hear the wolves howling at the moon just now?” Zhang Yuanjing used his divine sense to investigate all around, and at the same time injected his magic power into his eyes, looking into the distance with the help of the hazy moonlight.

“I heard it. But did something unexpected happen?” Min Huiye asked worriedly.

Zhang Yuanjing patted the spirit beast bag on his waist and said with some pride, “That False Core Realm Howling Moon Wolf is here!”

“Senior captured that Alpha Wolf alive?” Min Huiye's whole body shook, and he looked at Zhang Yuanjing in disbelief, “The Howling Moon Wolf is known for its speed, so it is extremely difficult to catch. Senior, what a great method!”

Zhang Yuanjing coughed dryly and said, “The Alpha Wolf was captured by me, so the wolves are howling sadly. I am worried about attracting more Howling Moon Wolves, or attracting even stronger monsters. I think it is better to take a risk and leave this mountainous area as soon as possible. It would be best to go to the north side of Yu Mountain Marsh as soon as possible.”

Then, thinking of something else, he asked, “Which area do those Thorn Poison Owls and Tooth Finches mainly live in?”

Min Huiye hesitated for a moment before saying hesitantly, “In this section of the mountain marsh, Thorn Poison Owls mainly live in the dense forest on the north side, and Tooth Finches, well, there are quite a few in this mountainous area.”

“Well… Brother Ape, speed up the flight, the faster the better!”

Zhang Yuanjing made a decisive decision and quickly asked Ape Thirteen to speed up. At the same time, he signaled Min Huiye to activate his magic power to protect himself, to prevent being injured by the air waves from the rapid sprint.

Before they had traveled a thousand miles, they heard a buzzing sound of flapping wings coming from far behind. At first, the sound was very weak, only faint, but later it gradually became louder. When it got closer, it was like muffled thunder, shaking people's hearts. When the two men and one ape looked back, they saw a dark cloud rapidly approaching behind them, the target being the three of them.

“Are these Tooth Birds? How many are there?”

“S… Senior, if there aren't tens of thousands, there must be several thousand!”

Zhang Yuanjing couldn't help but feel a burst of panic in his heart. With so many birds, even if they landed on the ground, they would not be able to defend themselves completely.

“Senior, quickly, quickly descend into the mountain stream! There are stone caves built by cultivators there, which can be used to fight the Tooth Birds!” Min Huiye looked down and saw a narrow and deep mountain stream winding towards the north, disappearing into the distance. He quickly shouted.

“Brother Ape, descend into the mountain stream below!”

Ape Thirteen lowered his sword and shot straight into the mountain stream with Zhang and Min, the sound of breaking through the air echoing between the cliffs, startling a few monsters resting on the top of the cliff. These monsters were still in doubt, but when they saw the Tooth Birds pressing down from the sky like a black cloud, they were immediately frightened and fled in panic.

“Five miles ahead, on the right side of the mountain wall, there is a cave! Brother Ape, go quickly!”

Zhang Yuanjing's divine sense was extremely strong. He scanned several miles and quickly found a cave, and quickly guided Ape Thirteen to fly over.

As soon as the two men and one ape entered the cave, the Tooth Birds were already close at hand. Ape Thirteen pushed Zhang Yuanjing and Min Huiye inward, and turned around to wield the Heaven-Stirring Cudgel, guarding the cave so tightly that not even a drop of water could leak through. The Tooth Birds didn't know what was going on, and groups of them rushed in fearlessly, and were immediately beaten into minced meat by the black iron heavy cudgel.

The entrance of this cave was very wide, about two zhang square, but after going four or five zhang inside, it suddenly narrowed, only a little more than one zhang high. Further inside, it was even narrower. It seemed that the outer side was a naturally formed hollow cave, and the inner side was dug out by cultivators.

Zhang Yuanjing used his divine sense to explore inside and found that the cave went deep into the mountain for half a kilometer, and the end was a stone room about five or six zhang square and three zhang high, with no other exits.

After a while, the Tooth Birds outside saw the situation inside the cave and immediately stopped their suicidal charge. However, as long as Ape Thirteen stopped waving his cudgel, dozens of Tooth Birds would rush in.

These Tooth Birds were only the size of skylarks, with beaks like the fangs of ferocious beasts. Each one only had the strength of just entering the Savage Blood Realm. Zhang Yuanjing looked at hundreds of them, and only saw a dozen reaching the middle stage of the Savage Blood Realm, and none reaching the late stage of the Savage Blood Realm.

However, even with such low strength, these little birds should not be underestimated. The large number is one aspect, and on the other hand, the beaks of the Tooth Birds are said to be able to peck through anything. It is said that a Core Formation cultivator once trapped thousands of Tooth Birds with a magic weapon, but was eventually pecked through by these birds.

“Senior, it's not a solution to continue like this. Senior Ape can't hold on for too long. For the current plan, this junior suggests collapsing the cave entrance. After waiting for a few days, when these Tooth Birds are tired of pecking at the stones and their stomachs are empty, they will naturally disperse.” Min Huiye boldly suggested when he saw that Zhang Yuanjing had been silent for a long time, “Moreover, Tooth Birds of this scale are very rare. Once they disperse, it will be difficult to gather them again. At that time, even if we encounter a few hundred Tooth Birds again, with Senior Ape here, we can easily defeat them.”

Zhang Yuanjing had no other choice. After hearing these words, he also felt that it was a usable method. If the Tooth Birds refused to leave in the future, he would think of another way. Moreover, this place is a stone cave, which is very strong. Collapsing the outside will not affect the inside.

So he said, “Brother Ape, use your heavy cudgel to knock down a few more rocks from above and block the cave entrance tightly.”

Ape Thirteen received the order and immediately changed his cudgel technique. Instead of sheltering from the wind and rain, he was opening up the world, sweeping, smashing, swinging, and splitting. Each cudgel had a force of hundreds of thousands of pounds, only hitting the cliff wall above with a booming sound, as if the entire thing was about to collapse. The Tooth Birds were so frightened that they flapped their wings and flew into the air, and dared not stop on the cliff wall to rest. Before long, a section of the rock wall above shattered, and more than a dozen large rocks fell, firmly blocking the cave entrance.

At this time, the Tooth Birds discovered their intention, and immediately hundreds of Tooth Birds landed on these rocks and pecked at them with a “dang dang dang” sound.

Zhang Yuanjing and Min Huiye then took out sharp flying swords and began to cut the stone wall in the narrow part of the cave. Chunks of thousand-pound boulders were cut down, and Ape Thirteen bent down and carried them to the outside to pile them up. Soon, a stone wall that was both thick and neat was built. They worked for nearly an hour, built about one and a half zhang thick, and then stopped to rest.

At this time, the Tooth Birds had pecked open a small hole in the weak part of the rock at the cave entrance, and a few had even drilled in. These Tooth Birds found that there was still a seamless stone wall inside, and immediately flew out to report.

Now, tens of thousands of Tooth Birds were as if they had exploded, chirping and chirping non-stop. It was not known whether they were holding a ten-thousand-bird conference or a singing competition. For a time, it was so noisy that Zhang Yuanjing and Min Huiye, who were hiding in the cave, were annoyed. Ape Thirteen, on the other hand, didn't know what he was thinking, and didn't care about the bird calls at all, and was the quietest.

After half a quarter of an hour, after about discussing it, more than a hundred Tooth Finches came in from the gap outside and began to peck at the stone wall on the inside. Of course, the Tooth Finches outside were not resting, and were constantly expanding the cave entrance.

“Brother Ape, you are also very aggrieved here, why don't you go to the stone room inside and stay there.” Zhang Yuanjing said when he saw Ape Thirteen shrinking his body and squeezing into a ball.

“Yuanjing, I want to eat that cow!” Ape Thirteen carefully raised his head, looked at Zhang Yuanjing pitifully, and sent out a thought.

Zhang Yuanjing patted his forehead: “Oh, I almost forgot. That cow has been dead for almost a day. Although it is placed in the spirit beast bag, it is easy to dissipate its spirituality. Huiye, you keep an eye on this, call me immediately if there is anything unusual!”

One man and one ape, one walking and one crawling, quickly arrived in the stone room.

“Brother Ape, help me kill that False Core Realm Howling Moon Wolf too. This monster is very strong, and my spirit beast bag can't trap it for too long, don't let it break the bag and run out!”

Zhang Yuanjing first took out the Howling Moon Wolf trapped by the Dragon Binding Vine. This wolf had been forcibly stuffed into the spirit beast bag and had been in a coma. When Zhang Yuanjing released it, it woke up leisurely. However, before it had time to figure out the surrounding situation, its head was smashed by the impatient Ape Thirteen, and it was immediately killed.

After collecting the Howling Moon Wolf, Zhang Yuanjing took out the Thunder Horned Cow corpse and placed it on the ground. When Ape Thirteen saw the cow corpse, he immediately licked his tongue, and excitement flashed in his eyes.

He glanced at Zhang Yuanjing and saw him nod. Then, he stretched out two big palms, grasped two cow horns, and lifted the entire cow corpse over his head. Then, he opened his mouth and bit hard at the cow's neck artery, and drank the cow's blood with a “glug glug” sound.

This drink lasted for a whole hour. The cow corpse looked smaller and smaller, and finally only a cowhide was left wrapped in some muscles and bones. All the essence on its body had been transformed into silver blood and entered Ape Thirteen's belly. This saved the trouble of dealing with the corpse, and all the collected materials were spiritual materials.

“嗝!” Ape Thirteen hiccuped, then looked at Zhang Yuanjing with dazed eyes, barely sending out a thought: “Yuanjing, I want to sleep for a while, you wait for me first. If it takes a long time, you can put me in the spirit beast bag and take me away first.”

After saying that, he fell to the ground and snored loudly.

Zhang Yuanjing was immediately dumbfounded. Without the help of this giant ape, it would be dangerous if something unexpected happened.

So, he quickly walked to the stone wall, and together with Min Huiye, continued to cut the stone wall and build the stone wall, thickening the one-and-a-half-zhang stone wall to three zhang, and then stopped.

After that, for three consecutive days, the Tooth Birds diligently pecked at the stones outside, pecking through nearly two zhang of the stone wall. The two people inside were so frightened that they quickly rebuilt one zhang. On the fourth day, there were much fewer birds pecking at the wall. On the morning of the fifth day, there was no movement outside. Zhang Yuanjing used his divine sense to explore and found that all the Tooth Birds had disappeared, leaving only bird droppings and messy bird feathers on the ground.

However, after a few days, Ape Thirteen, who was snoring like thunder, was still sleeping in the stone room, and Zhang Yuanjing was worried. He remembered that at the beginning, Ape Thirteen's Foundation Establishment Great Perfection clansman had taken five years to break through to False Core. If this time, Ape Thirteen was breaking through the realm, how many years would it take? How could he go to You Earth Mountain!

After another two days, there was still no sign of Tooth Birds outside. So, the two began to dismantle the wall and clear the cave entrance. Zhang Yuanjing went into the stone room inside again, took off Ape Thirteen's storage bag from his waist, hung it on himself, and then put it into the spirit beast bag. Then, he left the stone cave with Min Huiye and quickly went north along the mountain stream.
