Chapter 185

~6 min read 1,121 words

Venti pointed to a tree branch not far away, and everyone looked up.

It was a bird covered in soft, azure blue feathers.

It had long green feather crests on its head and long, winding tail feathers trailing behind.

Its pair of eyes were bright and full of spiritual energy.

Standing on the tree branch, biting the Green Origin Fruit in its mouth, it tilted its head and stared at everyone.

Its pair of claws looked a bit sharp, and grabbing onto the branch, it left deep marks on it.

"Damn it! A bird again!"

Venti glared at the bird angrily and said irritably:

"From now on, the demonic beast type I hate the most is birds!"

"Hurry up and grab the Green Origin Fruit back!"

Keqing urged anxiously and said again:

"Also! Can't let it leave alive, otherwise it will expose our tracks!"

As the words fell, Venti instantly flew toward the bird with his sword.

The opponent looked at Venti a few times, and just as Venti was about to reach out and grab it.

The bird appeared strangely on another big tree as if it had teleported.

Its movements didn't seem to have changed; it just quietly looked at everyone.

Biting the Green Origin Fruit in its mouth.

This speed made everyone feel shocked.

When it stole the Green Origin Fruit just now, at least there was a streak of light, but now, it wasn't even acting anymore; it was directly teleporting?

"Careful!"

Zhongli took out the Spear of Rainbow Piercing and looked at the bird nervously.

"With such speed, its strength shouldn't be weak."

Venti didn't rush up rashly either, and the group stood in a stalemate with the bird that stole the fruit.

I don't know how much time passed, but the bird pecked upward, and the Green Origin Fruit turned into a streak of light and merged into its body.

"Damn it! Stealing our spoils!"

Venti seized the time and threw a sword, but the bird flashed to the other side just like before.

It even flapped its wings happily and chirped.

"Is this bird mocking me?!"

Venti looked at everyone in disbelief, and Ningguang shook her head, feeling a bit worried:

"The speed is too fast; First Seat, is there any way to catch it?"

The Green Origin Fruit being gone was a small matter.

With this bird's speed being so fast, its own strength might be even stronger, not to mention, if it reported the news, their exploration journey would end early.

Zhongli shook his head, his brows furrowed tightly.

"No, I can't see the movement trajectory at all! Too fast!"

Hearing this, everyone became even more nervous.

"But... I didn't detect any dangerous aura from it; I feel it doesn't seem to have any malice."

Zhongli said uncertainly, and Jiang Yan, standing beside Ganyu, smiled and said softly:

"You won't be able to catch it; give up."

As if to verify Jiang Yan's statement, after the bird chirped lightly, a dense crowd of birds exactly like it appeared on the surrounding trees.

Just like looking in a mirror, their movements were all exactly the same.

Chirping at the same time made everyone feel a bit irritable.

Alice calmed her mind, and after carefully checking, said in a deep voice:

"Something's wrong! They seem to be fake!"

"Fake?"

Everyone subconsciously used their divine sense to explore, and sure enough, the other birds were all illusory.

Only the bird on the side was real.

"Found it!"

Venti turned around excitedly to kill it.

But when he reached out, he grabbed empty air, his hand passing straight through the bird, as if grabbing a handful of air.

This time, the phantom of the bird was chirping right in front of him.

Mocking him to his face!

Venti was furious, swept his divine sense, and found the bird on the other side again.

But after repeating this more than a dozen times, he didn't catch the opponent once, instead letting the opponent laugh until he was about to explode.

"Damn it! Hiding and dodging! If you have the ability, don't dodge! Damn stupid bird!"

Everyone also discovered something wrong; this bird seemed to be just teasing Venti.

It had no intention of actively attacking at all.

General demonic beasts shouldn't they attack as soon as they see them, or at least send a message?

Everyone suddenly noticed a blind spot.

Jiang Yan smiled and said:

"Finally discovered it? Everyone don't be nervous; this is not a demonic beast, but a spirit beast, Qingluan."

"Qingluan?"

114. Ganyu's luck is so good that spirit beasts can recognize their master themselves

Hearing Jiang Yan's words, Venti stopped doing useless work.

He landed on the ground unhappily, panting and looking at the Qingluan.

The latter tilted its head and looked at Venti, then placed its gaze on Ganyu, its small eyes containing a bit of consideration.

"Sect Master, did you just say this Qingluan is a spirit beast?"

Pingzi asked curiously.

Jiang Yan smiled and said softly:

"That's right; I also said before that in the cultivation world, beasts are divided into three types."

"First are fierce beasts, a group of wild beasts without wisdom, which are the main ingredients."

"Second are demonic beasts, similar to cultivators, not only can they cultivate on their own, but they can also use magic treasures, and they are the main enemies of cultivators."

"The third is this spirit beast."

Jiang Yan looked up at the Qingluan and waved his hand.

Perhaps it was because Jiang Yan in the divine sense state was easier to radiate goodwill, or perhaps because the Qingluan had never seen a human.

After thinking for a moment, it fluttered and landed beside Jiang Yan, tentatively probing Jiang Yan with its wings.

Finding that there was no physical entity, it suddenly seemed to have a playful heart, flapping its wings and shuttling back and forth on Jiang Yan's divine sense body.

"This little guy..."

Jiang Yan laughed dumbly, not caring about the Qingluan's frivolous behavior.

He saw at a glance that this little guy had been born for less than two hundred years.

It was still in the infancy stage of the Qingluan clan, roughly equivalent to a three-year-old girl.

Um...

This Qingluan was female.

"Don't be rude!"

Ganyu glared at the Qingluan angrily.

The Qingluan seemed to be extremely spiritual, looked at Jiang Yan with some grievance, and then turned to fly onto Ganyu's shoulder.

It stood quietly and began to groom its feathers.

"Sect Master, this..."

Ganyu was startled; everyone had seen the speed of this Qingluan just now.

Even Venti was teased, and those claws grabbed onto the stone, and the stone was grabbed into two sections.
