Chapter 613. Opportunity
Han Sen recognized the sound as belonging to the peacock they encountered earlier, which had received a nasty sting on its face. It flew far away after that, and they didn't think they'd run into it again so soon.
"Its screams are ones of pain and suffering. Is it because of the poison?" Queen asked, looking in the direction the squeals were coming from.
If it really was due to the poison, it would be the perfect opportunity for humans to take down a super creature. The first in history.
"Let's go find out!" Han Sen's face was vibrant with excitement, and he looked genuinely happy at the prospect. If he could hunt down a super creature with minimal effort, even if he did not receive a beast soul, eating its meat would be good enough.
They looked at each other and understood what they were each thinking. Queen commanded the big whale to start sailing in the direction of the screeching peacock.
The bird screamed so loud, it seemed like it could shatter the atmosphere. The creatures around look terrified, and those that flew in the sky seemed to avoid it at all costs.
They sailed another forty miles before seeing an island on the horizon. It was surprisingly small, not any bigger than a protruding reef.
The peacock was standing on the reef with a rotten face. It was red with infected blisters, and pus and blood oozed from its wounds.
"It must really be the poison still working its wretched magic," Han Sen said, aghast.
