Chapter 571 - 570
Two small claws clutched tightly onto the protruding bead, and the round, bulging eyes that were tightly shut at this moment, the head pressed against the bead, utterly enchanted as if enjoying immensely. Ye Tian looked both annoyed and amused, "You little bird brat, did you come here just for this damn bead? You really have nothing better to do."
Ye Tian ruthlessly pulled the green bird away, then grabbed the green bead with his hand. Unexpectedly, this grasp made Ye Tian step back twice, and the hand that hadn’t yet touched the bead also retracted.
This bead was chilling to the touch, making it virtually impossible to handle; this was only a part of the bead, who knew how cold the whole bead would be once dug out.
If we talk about coldness, Ye Tian had already experienced it in the Nushen Tower beneath the Nepal Temple, where the Bodhi Tree’s extreme yet gentle coldness was enough for him to handle, but the bead in front of him had a different kind of feel to it, unlike the yin cold, it was purely as cold as the Arctic Ice Field, as if it was sliced right off from there.
A one-inch strip of Gang Qi emitted from his fingertips again, while the warm energy inside his body enveloped him once again, breath held and spirit lifted, a cold and warm aura mingled again. This time, Ye Tian did not rashly reach out his hand as before, but slowly tested through the warmth at his fingertips. Indeed, the chill was as intense as ever, not only did it not accept Ye Tian’s gentle probe, but it also repelled without a trace of compassion, even just an inch of Gang Qi didn’t give in. This left Ye Tian feeling somewhat at a loss and helpless. It seemed that so far, there hadn’t been anything that could stump him, only this time, it really troubled him.
It seemed that the green bird couldn’t stand it anymore and pounced again onto the bead, recklessly wrapping its claws and wings around the bead, and looking like that, even if the Pale Eagle from that day was brought here, it probably wouldn’t let go... let its claws go.
This is indeed strange, Ye Tian scratched his head, how can this little bird easily embrace the bead and seem completely comfortable?
Mockingly laughing, Ye Tian said, "Forget it, forget it, if it’s yours, it’s yours, let me get the bead out first before you hold it."
Apparently understanding Ye Tian’s words, the green bird obediently released its claws and wings, flapping around nearby, just waiting for Ye Tian to pry the bead out. Ye Tian scoffed, cursing the green bird as ungrateful, and also mockingly thought to himself how a big living person didn’t have the luck as good as a little bird brat.
Although the green bead was formidable in its own right, its surrounding rocks were far inferior. Probably influenced by the green bead over the accumulation of days and months, these rocks also carried a cold aura, but compared to the bead itself, it was significantly weaker. Ye Tian didn’t need to use much force and carved a piece of rock from the rock wall, though it took some effort, it wasn’t too strenuous. Not daring to catch it with his hands, he let the green bead, still wrapped in a thin layer of the rock’s face, fall to the ground. The green bird instantly lifted the green bead in its claws and flew to land on Ye Tian’s shoulder.
