Chapter 2323: Chapter 2322: Thunderbird Eggs
"What a huge bird’s nest!"
Ling Feng thought to himself.
Turning to look at Xiao Xiao, he understood what she meant, so he signaled for the two girls to come over, lowered his voice and said, "There’s no movement up there, the bird probably isn’t around, I’ll go up and check if there are any eggs!"
"I’ll go, climbing trees is my strength!" Mu Mu said.
"No way, you’re not strong enough, I’ll go instead!"
Ling Feng chuckled, then added, "The usual rules, you two stand watch!"
With that, he leaped up and climbed the tree bark.
Trying not to make a sound, Ling Feng slowly climbed up to the height of the nest, took a peek inside.
There really were a few bird eggs here!
Except, these eggs were quite big, about the size of a washbasin!
Staring blankly for a few moments, Ling Feng estimated that with eggs this size, the adult bird must be huge!
Feeling thrilled at the hunt, Ling Feng took advantage while the adult bird was away, slipped into the nest, and stored five bird eggs into the Space-capturing Mirror.
Cooking one of these eggs would be enough for him and the two girls for a day.
Too bad they didn’t have a pan big enough; otherwise, fried eggs would definitely taste better!
Smuggling away the eggs, Ling Feng chuckled mischievously to himself, suddenly recalling he did this kind of thing quite often as a kid!
After climbing down the tree, Xiao Xiao and Mu Mu hurried over: "How did it go?"
"Picked a few bird eggs, they’re especially big, later I’ll cook them for you to eat!" Ling Feng smiled.
"Great!"
Both looked expectant; ever since they tried Ling Feng’s roasted meat, they’ve fully acknowledged his cooking skills.
The three continued walking onward without a particular direction, wandering around, as their main goal was to collect materials and slaughter beasts they encountered to get items from them.
But before they’d walked far, the three heard a shrill cry from the sky!
They exchanged a glance and all knew what was up.
It must be the giant bird returning to its nest and discovering its eggs were stolen.
After hearing the cry, Mu Mu excitedly said to Ling Feng, "Bro, that’s a Thunderbird!"
"Oh?"
Upon hearing that, Ling Feng’s eyes lit up!
The taste of Thunderbird meat, still lingered in his memory!
The deliciousness and nutrition made Ling Feng’s heart stir: "Turns out I stole Thunderbird eggs, can’t miss this big fellow!"
"It’s probably enraged now and might find us soon!" Mu Mu said.
"Okay, let’s not go anywhere, just wait here!"
Ling Feng nodded, then added, "By the way, you two should stay put, let me handle it myself!"
"It’s fine, we’re already close to your level, no need to worry!" Mu Mu said.
"Exactly, don’t underestimate us, we’re not in the same powerless state as yesterday!" Xiao Xiao chimed in.
"Well, act according to your ability then, this Thunderbird must be quite big, likely bigger than the one I caught before, as its nest is right there!" Ling Feng said.
"Hmm, we’ll be careful!" The two girls nodded simultaneously.
Just as they finished talking, suddenly it went dark overhead!
Then, branches and leaves from above fell down like a curtain!
Ling Feng and the two girls hurriedly retreated, watching branches fall to the spot where they’d just stood, and the unobscured sunlight shone through directly.
Following that, a huge figure landed on the ground!
A massive Thunderbird, its body was comparable to a small aircraft.
Its pair of blood-red eyes turned towards them, immediately locking onto Ling Feng and his friends.
"This fellow is really enraged!" Xiao Xiao said.
As soon as she spoke, the Thunderbird let out a shrill cry from its mouth, then shot towards them!
The enormous beak gleamed coldly, if pecked, someone would definitely get crushed!
Ling Feng leaped up, instantly drawing the Thunderbird’s attention, its sharp beak aiming straight at him.
Mid-air, Ling Feng wasn’t flustered, he did a swift 360-degree turn, his body twisted to dodge instantly, then found himself above the Thunderbird’s head.
Then, the Blade of the Apocalypse flashed coldly, stabbing down onto the top of the head!
Last time he killed a Thunderbird from the belly, but conditions today didn’t allow it, so he had to strike from this angle.
Surprisingly, when Ling Feng stabbed, the Blade of the Apocalypse’s edge only went in about a centimeter before getting blocked by the Thunderbird’s hard skull!
"Such a hard head!"
Ling Feng paused, after killing the previous Thunderbird, its flesh and bones had been chopped and boiled, but why was this one’s head so hard?
As he pondered, he suddenly felt himself rising, then realized in shock he was on the Thunderbird’s back, which couldn’t rid him, and was ascending high into the air!
"Damn, what’s this thing up to?"
Ling Feng looked startled, completely dumbfounded!
Seeing the Thunderbird had flown higher than the Dark Forest, his heart tightened, without hesitation, he immediately laid flat and thrust the blade straight into the Thunderbird’s throat!
The head was hard, but surely the throat wouldn’t have such tough bones!
Ling Feng guessed right, the Thunderbird’s throat was very fragile, with just a light stab, he directly pierced through the creature’s throat!
Afterward, the Blade of the Apocalypse’s edge began wildly shredding inside the Thunderbird’s throat, its body trembled violently!
Yet, the Thunderbird didn’t die immediately, instead, it suddenly flapped its wings, flying towards the depths of the Dark Forest!
"Damn it!"
Ling Feng shouted inwardly, sensing he was going to get separated from Xiao Xiao and Mu Mu!
"You guys be careful!"
Ling Feng shouted in mid-air, whether they heard or not he didn’t care.
The Thunderbird was already on its last legs, flying for a moment before plummeting down!
Nevertheless, it maintained a gliding posture, flying some distance in the air before crashing into the forest.
Ling Feng, quick-eyed and nimble, immediately leapt up and jumped onto a tree.
The Thunderbird rushed into the forest, breaking many trees, finally landing still.
Clinging to a tree trunk, Ling Feng figured he’d flown out at least several thousand meters, leaving Xiao Xiao and Mu Mu far behind.
After descending from the tree, he contemplated for a moment, leaving the Thunderbird’s body behind and darting urgently back towards the direction he originally came from!
In Ling Feng’s mind, the safety of the two girls was more important!
"Hope nothing bad happens!"
Ling Feng sprinted while anxiously thinking to himself.
Several kilometers is neither a short nor a long distance, but Ling Feng’s mind rushed, just running for a minute felt like passing through tens of minutes.
At that moment, a sudden shrill came from the left front, Ling Feng’s steps paused, immediately charging towards it!
Passing through the trees blocking the view, he was struck by a scene he hadn’t expected!
