Chapter 602: Bird Thief

Lin Zhangqing looked at the quiet environment around him and suddenly thought that this was truly a great place to destroy evidence.

After all, three months later, this secret realm would return to the void, and by then, there would be no traces left! The next time it appeared would be three sixty-year cycles later, so this was truly a very suitable place.

So he immediately took out all the things from before that needed processing and handled them all here at once!

He felt much lighter all of a sudden; after all, carrying these things on him was, more or less, a bit of bad luck!

He buried all the ashes in the soil, performed a Growth Technique, and after confirming no traces were left, Lin Zhangqing set off again! He had to travel during the day and didn't dare to be distracted by checking the spoils of war. He would wait until he found a campsite at night to slowly check his harvest!

After flying forward for another two-plus hours, he suddenly saw a prominent cliff several hundred zhang high in the distance!

And right in the sky above the cliff, a huge Black-Feathered Mystic Thunder Bird was circling constantly!

Lin Zhangqing immediately landed in the forest below. This was a bit stimulating; he couldn't be that unlucky, could he?

Had he run directly into the vicinity of the Black-Feathered Mystic Thunder Bird's nest? Although Lin Zhangqing had killed a Third-Stage Mystic Thunder Bird yesterday,

that was, in any case, a result of a lucky coincidence that led to a successful sneak attack. Now, he didn't have the strength to face a Third-Stage demon beast head-on.

Although the two sides were still very far apart, based on his fleeting glance just now, he felt it was definitely a Third-Stage Mystic Thunder Bird.

Perhaps it was even from the same family as the Third-Stage Mystic Thunder Bird he had killed yesterday! So, he immediately took out his light gauze magic treasure and draped it over himself! He didn't know if that Mystic Thunder Bird had discovered him just now.

However, Lin Zhangqing's luck was indeed relatively poor; he happened to need to pass through that cliff area to get to Jilei Mountain.

Based on the fact that the Mystic Thunder Bird kept circling there, he deduced that the Mystic Thunder Bird might really have built its nest on the cliff.

No wonder he hadn't encountered any decent demon beasts along the way.

It was likely because they knew this was the Mystic Thunder Bird's territory; those demon beasts had either left voluntarily or had been eaten as prey!

But this time, Lin Zhangqing was in trouble, because if he took a detour, he might waste one or two days.

This result was not what he wanted, so helplessly, he decided to approach the vicinity of the cliff to observe.

If this Mystic Thunder Bird left to forage within two or three hours, he would seize the time to pass through that area.

If it still hadn't left, then Lin Zhangqing wouldn't take the risk and would prepare to honestly take a detour.

Fortunately, he still had the light gauze magic treasure, plus the cover of the surrounding forest, so he shouldn't be easily discovered.

So he began to carefully sneak over. The distance of seven or eight miles took him half an hour.

Finally, he successfully hid in the dense foliage of a large tree, observing the situation of the Mystic Thunder Bird in the sky through the thick leaves.

Now that the two sides were so close, Lin Zhangqing could confirm that this was indeed a Third-Stage Mystic Thunder Bird.

And its size was even larger than the one from yesterday; it felt even more formidable than yesterday's.

But now that he had used the light gauze magic treasure to sneak to such a close distance, Lin Zhangqing was considering whether to take the risk and give it a heavy blow.

Just like yesterday. However, just as he was hesitating, that Third-Stage Mystic Thunder Bird actually left the sky above the cliff on its own.

It suddenly flew off in one direction and flew further and further away. Lin Zhangqing waited for about a quarter of an hour, confirming it wouldn't suddenly return.

So he immediately flew over on his sword. However, while passing by that cliff, he suddenly had a thought. He didn't know why, but he suddenly really wanted to go over and take a look to see if there was anything in the Mystic Thunder Bird's nest, even though he knew he shouldn't create extra trouble.

But he just couldn't resist the curiosity in his heart, so he immediately adjusted his direction slightly and flew a circle in that area.

He soon saw a huge bird nest built on the cliff and immediately flew over.

He immediately heard several chirping bird sounds. Lin Zhangqing leaned in to look.

In the very center of the bird nest appeared three palm-sized, bald, pink little birds.

These little fellows hadn't even opened their eyes yet, but they might have sensed a strange aura approaching, so they huddled tightly together.

And they chirped toward the direction where Lin Zhangqing was, as if trying to drive him away. And this wasn't even the most important thing.

The most important thing was that Lin Zhangqing actually saw a black and blue halo, which hadn't appeared for a long time, appear on one of the hatchlings.

At this moment, there was nothing to hesitate about. Lin Zhangqing immediately went over, picked up that hatchling, and immediately sent it into his spirit beast bracelet.

He even plucked a large handful of feathers from some unknown demon beast in the bird nest, roughly made a small nest, and sent it in with it.

Lin Zhangqing had experienced the formidable nature of this Black-Feathered Mystic Thunder Bird himself, and the jade slip from the Listening Wind Pavilion also held it in high regard.

And yesterday, a Second-Stage Great Perfection Mystic Thunder Bird had almost insta-killed Chu Yi in one hit! One had to know that Chu Yi had undergone a mutation.

So it was hard for Lin Zhangqing not to like such a powerful spirit pet.

Plus, with the hatchling he had just discovered, which had even more terrifying potential, he had even less reason to let it go!

Besides, if Heaven gives and you don't take, you will suffer the consequences; he couldn't harm himself! So he decisively took that hatchling away.

And Lin Zhangqing didn't do things to the extreme; he left two healthy hatchlings in the bird nest.

To avoid the mother bird going completely insane if she found all her children missing! After doing all this, he didn't dare to stay here, lest the mother bird suddenly return and catch him red-handed.

So Lin Zhangqing began to speed away on his sword, just wanting to get far away from here. Sure enough, about a quarter of an hour later,

he suddenly heard a sharp bird cry. From this sound, he could hear intense fury.

At this moment, he didn't dare to stay in the air anymore, immediately lowered his sword light, and descended directly into the forest.

And for the sake of safety, he took out the light gauze magic treasure again and draped it over himself.

But he didn't dare to stay in place, fearing he had been spotted by the mother bird when he descended just now.

So he carefully groped his way forward for a distance, and then he began to hear thunder.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

This thunderous sound rang out continuously for more than an hour.
