After reaching the shore, Xiao Shi tossed the Bird Egg aside and picked up the Big Club he used to have, aiming a blow at the surface of the Bird Egg.
"Bang!"
However, despite his full-strength strike, the Bird Egg didn't break. Instead, his action was like stirring up a hornet's nest. The surface of the Bird Egg turned crimson, and countless runes instantly surged forth, shimmering with light. A tremendous force of recoil directly sent him flying, slamming into the nearby mountain.
"Boom!"
The mountain trembled violently, and a human-shaped crater instantly appeared. But then, Xiao Shi crawled out of it. "You dare to resist? Looks like you've got some tricks!"
Xiao Shi once again dragged his Big Club and ran towards the Bird Egg. The pain throughout his body not only failed to diminish his fighting spirit, but instead, it greatly increased his interest.
"I don't believe it! With the power of the extreme path, I still can't crack this broken egg."
Upon arriving, Xiao Shi swung the Demon Bear Skull, using it as a hammer, and struck again!
"Zzzt…"
A flame suddenly erupted from the eggshell. Though only a meter tall, where the two met, there was no earth-shattering roar, only the continuous sound of melting.
The flame seemed insignificant, but it was terrifying in the extreme, distorting the space around it. The Demon Bear Skull hadn't even landed before it was completely melted!
Xiao Shi stared at the half of the horn remaining in his hand, his large eyes wide with disbelief. His scalp tingled; this flame reminded him of the great battle a few days ago, the aura incredibly similar to that of the supreme being! "Monster!"
Xiao Shi shrieked, throwing away the remaining horn. He then took off running, his speed reaching its limit, and in the blink of an eye, he had run several hundred meters!
What he didn't see was that behind him, at the location of the egg, a mysterious aura suddenly circulated, enveloping a hundred-meter radius. The next moment, crimson light surged there, and with a loud boom, it transformed into a sea of fire.
Then, with a crack, the Bird Egg cracked, its runes flashing, emitting brilliant light, signaling the birth of the creature within.
Following this, the cracking sounds continued, and the eggshell shattered, revealing a Little Red Bird. Except for its eyes, which were like black gems, it was entirely crimson. It was only the size of a fist, covered in runes, with red glow flashing, looking very mysterious.
The eggshells turned into a liquid that the Little Red Bird swallowed, not a drop remaining. Afterwards, its feathers became even more vibrant, a crimson that seemed to drip.
"Little Bean, you actually want to eat me? I'll beat you to death!"
A streak of red lightning tore through the sky, incredibly dazzling, instantly painting the entire sky red, as if a vast expanse of sunset had appeared.
A fiery red Little Red Bird, crystalline and dripping with crimson, was only the size of a palm, but it was terrifying. Wherever it passed, the sky seemed to be collapsing. In just a breath, it caught up to the Little Bean, who was several thousand meters away.
At this moment, Xiao Shi, who had been frantically running away, suddenly saw a palm-sized fiery red Little Red Bird with an intensely terrifying aura land in front of him, blocking his path. Though he was startled, he couldn't stop in time and slammed directly into it!
Boom!
Upon impact, the Little Red Bird didn't budge. However, Xiao Shi was immediately bounced away by an invisible force, and with a thud, he fell to the ground.
"Ouch!"
Xiao Shi patted his butt and stood up again, but the aches and pains all over his body made him feel like he had collided with a sacred mountain, as if he was about to fall apart.
"Eh, where did this little bird come from? It's so beautiful... Look at those eyes, like black gems, and then look at these feathers, crystal clear all over, fiery red and dazzling, elegant and graceful, truly rare in the world. It's probably no different from a god."
Xiao Shi's eyes shone. He got up and walked to the Little Red Bird, clicking his tongue in admiration, as if he had seen a peerless treasure.
"Although what you said is all true, but..."
The Little Red Bird hadn't finished speaking when Xiao Shi interrupted, "You, a divine bird, are unique and independent, just like a god. You must be beautiful and kind-hearted. I wonder if you would be willing to be the Sacrificial Spirit of our village? We can offer you sacrifices and fatten you up..."
The Little Red Bird rolled its eyes, revealing a trace of strangeness. It had never seen such a thick-skinned brat. He was just thinking about eating it before, and now he was constantly flattering it. Was his heart really that naive?
"If you don't want to, then forget it. I still have to go home and eat. If we are fated in the future, you can come to our village as a guest."
Xiao Shi waved his hand at the Little Red Bird, acting naturally, his heart unperturbed, as if he was bidding farewell to an old friend.
However, after he walked fifty meters, a three-colored divine light rose from his body. He suddenly accelerated, and in a flash, a long trail of dust billowed behind him. He was actually running faster than a rabbit, and in just a few seconds, he disappeared without a trace.
Xiao Shi stood in place, the Little Red Bird hovering in the air, staring dumbfounded at the long trail of dust. It seemed that this little rascal had known all along it was the Bird Egg. Seeing the situation wasn't good, he'd first stabilized things, then seized an opportunity to make a run for it!
"Do you think you can get away?" The Little Red Bird spoke in human language, brimming with confidence. But the next moment, it was astonished. "It can actually block the aura I left behind! He's only a few years old, isn't he?"
A strange look flickered in the Little Red Bird's black, gem-like eyes. Even it, having witnessed countless prodigies, realized that none could compare to that little rascal.
Moreover, the little rascal possessed astonishing strength. The previous impact had been equivalent to hundreds of thousands of kilograms. If an Inscription Realm cultivator had been there, they would have likely lost half their life from the collision!
"He is indeed extraordinary, but do you think you can just run away?"
The Little Red Bird flapped its wings, transforming into a streak of red lightning, and swiftly pursued the direction Xiao Shi had disappeared in. It hadn't wanted to bother with a little rascal, but this one had an incredibly strong body. Giving him a beating to vent its frustration didn't seem like such a bad idea.
On the other side, several miles away, Xiao Shi was standing beside a river. He understood that no matter how he tried to hide on land, he couldn't possibly escape the terrifying Little Red Bird's gaze.
Beings of that level were too powerful, possessing all sorts of unimaginable abilities that defied common sense.
Feeling the terrifying, overwhelming aura several miles behind him, Xiao Shi shivered, goosebumps erupting all over his body. "Little Red Bird, the mountains remain green, the rivers flow on, let's part ways here!"
With a "plop," Xiao Shi leaped directly into the river. Using the water as cover, he immediately swam upstream.
