The Nine-Headed Shark's body was trapped within the spatial anomaly.
Its large head flew out of the space.
"I won't die! When I recover my body, I will return for revenge!"
The crowd shrieked, "Damn it, this shark can fly! It's escaping!"
Xiao Yu: It's alright, I will handle it!
Xiao Yu flew up and bit down hard on the Nine-Headed Shark's head with her venomous fangs.
No matter how tough the Nine-Headed Shark's skin was, its power had waned after being separated from its body.
Xiao Yu's venomous fang pierced its skin, injecting poison into its body.
The Nine-Headed Shark struggled desperately, cursing incessantly:
"You lapdog of humans! You will face retribution! Sooner or later, humans will dig out your heart and skin you, just you wait, you just wait!"
Xiao Yu thought to herself.
Why is this ugly thing so verbose!
All ten percent of the venom was injected into the Nine-Headed Shark's body.
It rapidly corroded its flesh.
While its exterior was tough, its interior was no tougher than anyone else's flesh.
The Nine-Headed Shark's head began to disintegrate from within.
It opened its eyes and saw a golden light flying towards it.
Nine-Headed Shark: "You damn thing..."
With a melodious cry, golden flames enveloped both of them.
However, the flames did not harm Xiao Yu; instead, they plated her wings with a layer of golden radiance.
The pair of small wings behind Xiao Yu's head unfurled with a whoosh.
Her tiny butterfly wings transformed into the size of great wings.
The Nine-Headed Shark was not so fortunate.
As it was enveloped by the flames, the poison within it rushed outwards, burning it to ashes along with the golden fire.
CoCo curled up and let out a cry as it flapped its wings.
Its high-pitched call resonated through half the city.
Survivors underground crawled out to watch the spectacle.
"Is that a phoenix?"
"And the other one is a dragon?"
"Why doesn't the dragon have horns?"
"Yes, they're right behind its head! Though they're a bit small, it really is a dragon, isn't it?"
"It's probably a young dragon that hasn't fully developed yet."
"Oh my god, a dragon and a phoenix appearing at the same time, what a miracle!"
"I heard a thousand-year-old turtle appeared nearby not long ago. Is this a setup to gather the Four Sacred Beasts?"
"Oh my god, I don't care, I'm willing to be a slave, as long as I can stay in this city, I'll do anything!"
CoCo and Xiao Yu slowly descended and landed on the beach.
Xiao Yu curiously poked CoCo with her mouth.
The golden flames were not hot at all, but warm.
CoCo's belly tickled as Xiao Yu poked it.
"Ticklish, CoCo is ticklish."
An Nuan also stepped forward and scratched CoCo's belly. It might have hit a sweet spot.
CoCo giggled happily.
Zhai Yan also curiously grabbed CoCo's tail.
It looked a lot like the legendary phoenix, but the phoenix had nine tails, while CoCo had six.
At most, it was a relative of the phoenix.
Zhai Yan wrapped one of the tails around his neck. It was soft and a little warm.
He beckoned for the sycophant to come over.
Zombies feared divine power, and the sycophant was reluctant.
Zhai Yan grabbed him by the neck and lifted him, pushing him into CoCo's tail.
"Ow ow ow, it hurts~~ Huh?"
The sycophant tilted its head, "It doesn't hurt! It's warm and comfortable!"
His back and legs no longer ached, and his whole body felt relaxed.
The stench on his body was gone, and the wounds on his face were healing.
The sycophant wiggled its backside under the tail, "Boss, you really do care about me."
Zhai Yan pressed its head down, pushing it completely under CoCo's tail.
It was infinitely close to CoCo's rear.
CoCo wanted to fart as a prank, but it couldn't...
An Nuan hugged it, and the golden flames burned on her body. However, not only were they not harmful, they seemed to be healing her minor ailments.
Fu Yunting's internal restlessness and darkness were also burned away by the flames.
Yet, his power was completely unaffected.
Everyone realized the benefits of the golden flames on the body and all hugged CoCo.
CoCo excitedly moved its paws, taking small steps forward, backward, left, and right.
"CoCo is super popular, super super popular."
An Nuan stroked its belly, "The little meatball has become a divine bird, what is going on?"
Time rewound to an hour ago...
CoCo lay on its back in the insect basket, its belly a small round ball from eating.
Ming Le worriedly stroked its belly.
"Is CoCo okay like this? It either doesn't eat, or it eats nonstop. In just a few days, it's eaten three baskets of stone worms. Will its stomach be damaged?"
Shi Huai was also worried.
Although birds were not his primary research area, CoCo was a mammal. Shi Huai's paternal instincts kicked in, and he took CoCo for an MRI.
The little one's feathers were all ruffled. Xiu Ao, feeling sympathetic, took out a small device.
"This is an amplifier I just developed. It's engraved with eighteen runes. Shall we try using this to enhance CoCo's digestive power?"
CoCo, under the glare of three amplifiers, weakly lifted its head.
Shi Huai looked at the results with some concern.
"The MRI results are normal. Could it be a mental illness?"
Nanmen Ying: "Is it because it doesn't have a girlfriend? I can create one for it."
While CoCo was asleep, Nanmen Ying activated his nightmare ability.
Everyone waited outside, not knowing what CoCo was dreaming about.
However, it seemed to be happy one moment and distressed the next.
This must be the sweet and sour taste of love.
Brother Hu waved his hand, "None of you are good enough! Your methods are too effeminate. A man needs to be tough!"
With that, Brother Hu took out a handful of small beads.
He would never tell CoCo that these were mutated beads obtained from killing several centipedes.
Each bead was only the size of a lentil, perfect for stuffing into CoCo's mouth.
"Come, eat these, you'll be full of energy!"
Watching Brother Hu stuff bead after bead into CoCo's mouth.
Ming Le said worriedly, "Will there be any problems? We don't know if these beads are suitable for it. What if the energy is too much and it bursts?"
"Don't worry, don't worry, CoCo is a real man, this little bit is nothing!"
CoCo, hearing the praise, stretched its neck and drew circles, "CoCo is a man, a real man!"
"See, I told you it would be fine, it's definitely going to work!"
Brother Hu laughed heartily, happily stuffing more small beads into its mouth.
Tao Yechen worriedly said, "Tiger, have you had too much to drink?"
"No, no, just two bottles of Erguotou, this is nothing!"
Tao Yechen: It's over, he's really drunk.
Ming Le: Should I try to stop him?
Xiu Ao: Eating so much, can it really digest it? Is CoCo a parrot or a chicken? Chickens can eat gravel, so it should be fine, but is it a parrot or a chicken?
Shi Huai nervously said, "Brother Hu, CoCo is about to roll its eyes. Can we stop for a moment?"
Brother Hu picked up CoCo and saw that it seemed to be choking.
"It's fine, it's fine, a little water will help. Here, have a drink, this is my special collection!"
"Damn! Tiger, what are you feeding CoCo, it's Laobaigan!"
*Burp*
Two red patches appeared on CoCo's feathers, and it let out a few burps from its beak.
Rosy-pink bubbles of gas escaped from its mouth and popped on Brother Hu's face.
Brother Hu looked at the bottle and was stunned, "Damn, half a bottle of Laobaigan is gone!"
