Chapter 326: A New Partnership?
The Eagle beast spent its time in thinking while Shirong, who had felt the cultivation base of the beast, was nervous. He was sure that the Immortal Crystal Armament was the reason why the beast had not attacked him, but now the question for him was why?
Still, as long as the beast did not do anything to him, he felt like he should be fine. Though if he managed to move again, he reckoned he should be able to escape safely. He at least had the confidence in that even if he could not fight the beast.
The eagle beast suddenly turned its head and looked deep into Shirong’s eyes, which made him internally tremble. But what he didn’t know was that the beast was not looking at him but rather on his forehead where Lin Wu’s eyes were located.
“And how would you be helping me? From what I can see you would be the one befitting as I would be killing the men for you.” The eagle beast said.
Lin Wu was already expecting this question and was waiting for the beast to act. There were a few reasons why he had not stated at the very start, why he had not told her. The first was that he didn’t want to appear overenthusiastic.
The second was that he wanted to see the cleverness of the beast. While Lin Wu knew that the beast had intelligence the same as that of a human, he wanted to know if it could scheme or not.
He had seen the Slim arm ape which was much clever than other beasts and had spent its time with humans before depending on if it could scheme or not, Lin Wu would set its danger level.
“Since the temples are hidden underneath the ground where you can’t reach them, I can help you get to them. You would just need to use the bloodline resonance to find an approximate area and I’ll dig down to find it.” Lin Wu said.
The Eagle beast thought about Lin Wu’s words and found them to be strange. Why would a beast that was in the form of an armor be able to dig?
“You said dig, but can you even do that?” The Eagle Beast questioned in a doubtful tone.
“Of course I can. Don’t guess from this armor, my true form is that of a worm.” Lin Wu stated.
“A Worm!” The Eagle beast said with a little too much excitement.
Hearing the tone of her voice, Lin Wu suddenly realized something.
‘Dammit, she’s a bird in the end and I’m a worm; Birds eat worms!’ Lin Wu thought.
But then a few seconds later the eagle beast calmed down and even showed a look of disgust from what Lin Wu could perceive.
~phew~
‘Seems like it awakening the Vermillion bird’s bloodline made it feel disgusted about eating mere worms.’ Lin Wu thought to himself.
“Alright, if you say so, then we can do it.” The eagle beast said, much to Lin Wu’s content. “But what are you going to do about that human with you?” She added.
“The human will be away when I help you did. Though this can only be done at night time.” Lin Wu said, but then thought of something more. “Though, if you can find a way to trap the human for a bit, I may be able to help you out openly.” Lin Mu added.
“Oh? You want to play around with the human?” The Eagle beast said, misinterpreting Lin Wu’s words.
“Yes! Yes, that’s it!” Lin Wu said, taking advantage of the misunderstanding.
The eagle beast raised its head and spoke, “there is a place where you can leave him. It’s a little far from here, but it’s a rather big place and has formations around it. I was unable to enter it but maybe you will be.”
‘A place where even the Dao Shell realm Eagle beast can’t enter? It must be some ruins from the olden times.’ Lin Wu was intrigued by it.
“Alright, show me that place and we can leave this man there till we solve the problem.” Lin Wu stated.
“Follow me then.” The eagle beast said before talking flight.
~WHOOSH~
A strong gust of wind was released from the wings of the Silver Beak Sky Soar eagle as it knocked down several trees nearby and covering the platform with dirt and mud.
~phew~
Shirong seemed visibly relieved after seeing the Eagle beast leave and felt like he was lucky.
“The immortal Crystal Armament is truly miraculous… it even managed to repel a Dao Shell realm beast.” Shirong said.
“Huh? This guy is really good at making up stuff. Welp, gonna be fun to tease him a bit.” Lin Wu chucked to himself.
Shirong, who was now looking to get away, suddenly felt a message from the Immortal Crystal Armament.
“What!? Why does it want me to follow the Eagle beast?” Shirong said out loud, feeling bewildered.
~Sigh~
“This guy will take too much time…” Lin Wu said, before deciding to take action himself.
~Shua~
Then, before Shirong could say another word, he suddenly found himself flying. Or rather… being hijacked.
“Damn! I can’t control it anymore…” Shirong cursed, trying to command the Immortal Crystal Armament.
He didn’t know why it was suddenly acting like this but realized that it must be something to do with the Eagle Beast. He could not understand the conversation between Lin Wu and the Eagle beast and thus was in the dark about their true intentions.
Though while he was soaring through the sky, Shirong realized that the Immortal Crystal Armament was not using his spirit Qi.
“Its… its… it is flying on its own?” Shirong said, feeling surprised.
~Piiiii~
Shirong’s attention was suddenly pulled by the loud cry of a bird. He spotted the Eagle beast right in front of him, a short distance away.
“What the hell! Why is the Immortal Crystal Armament following the Eagle beast?” Shirong said, feeling both shocked and scared.
