Chapter 568 - 567
The green bird on Ye Tian’s shoulder did not fly away alone again, it just stared blankly inside, clearly, there was fear in its eyes, which made Ye Tian even more wary of what was inside. He also wondered why the little bird on his shoulder had brought him all the way here.
Ye Tian, who dared not speak, found himself stuck here in silence. Although he wanted to retreat, the green bird on his shoulder did not give him the chance, flying directly into the darkness. As expected, its entry disrupted the calm, and a huge roar emerged from the black hole, which was human rather than animal.
The living creature inside is a human!
This revelation made Ye Tian regret even more for having followed the green bird here; it would have been better to just stay put.
Following that came an intense killing aura, though it wasn’t so strong as to kill every plant and tree upon contact. Ye Tian had the spiritual power of the Nine Emperor Bell within his body and was naturally unafraid of this type of energy confrontation. Even if it had been Bodhi sitting in meditation for twenty years, Ye Tian had killed it nonetheless. Thus, while the killing aura was certainly formidable, it wasn’t enough to make Ye Tian turn around and flee for his life.
Ye Tian moved aside swiftly, wary that a bear might charge out suddenly and maul him to death; such a demise would be absurdly unjust.
Unfortunately, just as Ye Tian was on guard, a fierce gust of wind burst out of the cave. The wind was strong and heavy—he dared not face it head-on and could only cling tightly to the wall, trying to minimize his exposure to the wind as much as possible.
A shrill, mournful bird cry came from the cave.
It was the green bird!
Ye Tian, being human, had his moments of tenderness. The little bird was merely days old when it had been attacked by hawks, endured a torrential rain, and then nestled into Ye Tian’s embrace. Now, it had led him here. Despite knowing there was something unusual about this bird, the thought of its cute eyes wide open made Ye Tian sigh deeply in his heart and think, "Little bird, I truly owe you!"
