"Are you talking about that scraggly bird's nest?" the head of the Zhan Long tribe asked.
Zhang Yingxiong nodded and explained.
"That's right. You should all remember when Zhang Yang was causing trouble inside the cave and threatening the three-headed bird, a black primal energy beam pulsed from its nest. There must be something unusual there."
Upon hearing this.
The other ministers' eyes lit up.
They had only focused on the cave halfway up the mountain, forgetting the possibility of something strange about the nest.
Perhaps.
There was an exit there as well.
"What are you talking about? I don't understand," Zhang Yang asked, seeing the ministers' excited expressions.
"You were in the cave at the time and didn't see anything unusual with the nest outside..."
Immediately, Zhang Yingxiong recounted what had happened to Zhang Yang.
After listening.
Zhang Yang and Zhu Zhi's hopes were rekindled.
The cave halfway up the mountain was no longer a viable exit.
Therefore, the remaining nest was indeed worth investigating.
"Then we'll go take a look tomorrow. With the giant python here, we don't need to fear the scraggly bird attacking," Zhang Yang said excitedly.
...
One day later.
Zhang Yang and his six companions boldly arrived at the peak where the three-headed bird resided.
Seeing Zhang Yang and his group approaching, the three-headed bird, which had been infuriated by the giant python halfway up the mountain, suddenly turned its head.
"Despicable humans, what are you doing here again?"
"Nothing much, just want to take a look at your sleeping place. You don't have any objections, do you?" Zhang Yang said with a smile.
The three-headed bird's eyes were filled with confusion, but it still sternly refused!
"No! You cannot go into the nest!"
"What? Is there a secret in there? Something you don't want us to discover?" Zhang Yang chuckled.
"Hmph, there's no secret inside. The nest is my habitat, why should I let you in?" the three-headed bird grumbled.
Then, flapping its wings, it flew towards Zhang Yang and the others.
"Despicable humans, I've already been quite lenient with you, but this is no reason for you to push your luck! If you push me too far, I'll eat you right now!"
With that.
The three-headed bird let out a piercing cry.
All three of its beaks were open, giving it a fearsome appearance.
However.
Zhang Yang and his group were not afraid at all, especially Zhang Yang, who looked disdainful.
"Hmph, if I push you too far, you'll eat us? Alright then! Giant python, tell him who's the boss around here!"
Zhang Yang shouted towards the giant python.
The giant python, which had been teasing the bird at the cave entrance, immediately understood.
It opened its massive maw and bit off several wriggling blood vessels.
Screech!
The three-headed bird instantly became enraged and flew back to the cave entrance.
Angrily, it thrust its beak into the cave, attempting to peck at the giant python.
However, the giant python had already moved away, unwilling to let the three-headed bird succeed.
"Shameless humans, you've gone too far!" the three-headed bird fumed.
"Heh, you were the one who said you'd eat us first. And now you're calling us shameless and excessive? Should I show you what true shamelessness looks like?"
Zhang Yang said, preparing to signal the giant python.
The three-headed bird was immediately startled and quickly shouted to stop.
"Stop! If you want to go to the nest, then go. But I warn you, it's very dangerous in there. If you happen to die inside, don't blame me."
"It's dangerous inside?" Zhang Yang feigned surprise, then shook his head.
"It's fine. If we get into danger, then the heart in this cave will also be in danger. It's just that the giant python hasn't eaten meat for many days, so it'll be good to give it some sustenance."
Screech!
The three-headed bird became frenzied once again.
It was truly defeated!
Utterly defeated!
It was always cornered by Zhang Yang, having no recourse!
"There's no danger in the nest! I was just trying to scare you!" the three-headed bird said dejectedly.
Hearing this.
Zhang Yang immediately smiled.
He had guessed that the three-headed bird was trying to scare them, which was why he had said that.
"Heh, just behave yourself. Once we leave, no one will bother you anymore, right?"
Zhang Yang said with a smile.
Then he led Zhang Yingxiong and the others towards the nest.
The three-headed bird watched them go, grinding its teeth.
The giant python's mockery from inside the cave only further enraged the three-headed bird!
"Heh, why didn't you attack just now? If you had attacked, I could have eaten the heart."
Screech!
Screech!
With all its fury unable to be vented, the three-headed bird could only let out angry cries.
At the same time.
Zhang Yang and his group had already reached the mountaintop and entered the nest.
Looking at the nest constructed from various skeletal remains, everyone felt a bit unnerved.
This three-headed bird truly had a perverted nature.
Other birds built their nests with wood and branches, but this one preferred to use bones.
"There's nothing special in here either."
After searching, they still found nothing, and the flame of hope in their hearts gradually extinguished.
"Could it be that there's no exit here either?" Zhang Yang asked gravely.
"Did you really see a black primal energy beam coming from here yesterday?"
Zhang Yingxiong and the others nodded, assuring him.
"We're certain, that beam originated from inside the nest."
Hearing this, Zhang Yang fell into thought.
Zhang Yingxiong had said that the beam appeared suddenly while he was causing destruction in the cave.
It was very brief.
If that were the case...
"Giant python, can you hear me?" Zhang Yang suddenly communicated with the giant python in the cave via telepathy.
"Master, I can hear you," the giant python replied.
"Find a way to enrage the three-headed bird, preferably start an argument with this scraggly bird, and then find any excuse to cause massive destruction to the cave!" Zhang Yang instructed.
The reason Zhang Yang asked the giant python to find an excuse was that he was worried that if he directly commanded the giant python, they might be attacked by the three-headed bird.
Therefore, having the giant python find an excuse would be better.
At least the three-headed bird wouldn't target them.
Inside the cave.
The giant python blinked.
It was already bored inside the cave.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have teased the three-headed bird from time to time.
Now that Zhang Yang was asking it to escalate the destruction, the giant python was delighted.
"Heh heh, scraggly bird, you have three heads, do you have three chicks? If so, let this lord have a look." the giant python said with a laugh.
If Zhang Yang and the others had heard this question, they would have surely stumbled.
This giant python seemed rather improper!
As expected.
The three-headed bird was immediately enraged.
"Little bug, do you know what you're saying?"
"I know. I want to see your private parts, do you have three?"
Screech!
The three-headed bird was angered.
Its vast wings suddenly unfurled, and a strong gust of wind continuously surged into the cave!
"Little bug, you're courting death!"
The giant python, caught off guard, was instantly blown about. The next moment, its body suddenly enlarged, and it roared with its mouth agape.
Roar!
"You scraggly bird, what are you being so arrogant about! I was just curious and asked, and you attacked me? Let me teach you a lesson!"
The giant python said.
Its tail swept out horizontally, severing nearly half of the wriggling lines on the cave wall!
Instantly.
A large amount of black gas was spewed out.
The entire mountain peak trembled!
And at this moment, another anomaly occurred above the nest!
