A month later, deep within a primeval mountain range.
On the trunk of a towering ancient tree, which was six or seven meters in diameter, a small figure was lying motionless, clad in a black animal skin garment, appearing as still as a statue.
Furthermore, the little kid's body was faintly shimmering with a three-colored light, completely concealing his aura, making it difficult to spot him at a glance.
"Why isn't it leaving yet!"
On the massive tree trunk, Xiao Shi glanced furtively at the super-sized Golden Light Bird's Nest, which was about ten meters above him. He gradually calmed down.
Three days ago, he had unexpectedly discovered this shimmering nest. As a mischievous child, driven by the shameful notion that it was a crime not to raid a bird's nest, he resolutely climbed up.
However, his plans were thwarted. Just as he was about to succeed, a Golden Peng Bird flew over from afar. With a spread of its wings, it spanned about twenty meters. Just a single glance at it made him immediately freeze.
That Peng Bird was too strong! With a single cry, it shook the mountains and valleys. Moreover, even from a distance, a terrifying pressure like a tidal wave emanated from it. If he hadn't been on the other side of the tree, he would have run away immediately.
He had been clinging to the tree trunk for three days now. However, that Golden Peng Bird seemed determined to outlast him, refusing to leave, which left the little rascal stuck on the tree.
But he was willing to gamble. The Golden Peng Bird was using its own essence and runes to incubate the Bird Egg. Furthermore, the bird seemed to have just laid the egg, so its strength should be at its weakest. Xiao Shi didn't believe it wouldn't go out eventually.
In fact, his thoughts were mostly correct. A day later, the Golden Peng Bird spread its wings and left the nest. This place held its aura and pressure; beasts with lower strength wouldn't dare come here. It was a suppression from the bloodline, and this was why it dared to leave.
"Hehe..."
Xiao Shi, seeing the Golden Peng Bird fly far away, let out a strange laugh. Using his hands and feet, he quickly climbed towards the nest at the top. He had waited for this opportunity for a full four days.
Although the Golden Light Bird's Nest was large on the outside, it held a different world within. It was lined with many soft, dried grasses and herbs, making it very comfortable. It gave off a warm, sunny feeling, as if there was some Yang Spirit Grass among those herbs.
Xiao Shi didn't care how wondrous the nest was. The moment he got up there, he immediately fixed his gaze on the Bird Egg in the center, which was emitting astonishing rays of light and was over a meter tall.
It was a Bird Egg like a Gold Crystal Diamond, covered with golden patterns, and its colors were extremely gorgeous. Golden rays of light occasionally shot out. Even as an egg, it already exuded extremely terrifying life essence, indicating it was extraordinary.
No need to think too much, this definitely isn't ordinary. Xiao Shi even suspected that the Golden Peng Bird's bloodline had reverted, otherwise, how could it be so mystical?
"The Golden Peng Bird itself possesses some Golden-Winged Peng bloodline, although it's thin, it is a genuine Ancient Descendant. Unexpectedly, its bloodline is even more astonishing; this isn't a loss!"
Xiao Shi gazed at the Bird Egg, his mouth practically watering. He quickly stepped forward, clasped his hands together, and embraced the Bird Egg, which was taller than him. His body gave a jolt, divine radiance surged, and then he jumped directly downwards.
"Boom"
The earth shook violently, and Xiao Shi landed straight on the ground, creating a pit. But he didn't care, pulling his legs out of the mud and quickly running.
"Rumble"
Suddenly, from the depths of the primeval mountain range, an incredibly terrifying bird's cry echoed, followed by waves of astonishing killing intent surging out like a tide, instantly engulfing that area.
"Did it leave a mark on the egg?" Xiao Shi glanced behind him, his scalp tingling, and he ran even faster.
Deep within the mountains, a golden lightning bolt plunged through the sky. Its terrifying might caused the mountains to tremble, and the ferocious beasts scattered in terror. Divine power, like a golden ocean, stirred up a storm that threatened to overturn the heavens and the earth, making the entire world feel as if it might shatter at any moment.
"So strong! I'm gonna die!" Xiao Shi cried out in alarm.
Even from tens of thousands of miles away, he could feel a sense of danger nipping at his heels. Without a doubt, the Golden Peng Bird had its sights set on him and was hurtling towards him at breakneck speed!
"You're forcing my hand!"
Xiao Shi's fur stood on end, and the Three-Colored Divine Light surged, completely enveloping the Bird Egg he was holding. He was trying to conceal his aura and block the Golden Peng Bird's perception.
At the same time, he sprinted across the land, fleeing frantically. However, even so, he couldn't shake off the Golden Peng Bird's pursuit, and the distance between them was shrinking.
"Oh no! I'm still so young!"
"Jie!"
Just then, Xiao Shi looked up at the sky a little over half a mile ahead, and his scalp prickled. "A Golden Lightning Eagle... That looks familiar. I think I ate two of its eggs a few days ago... This time, I'm really done for!"
As expected, the eyesight of eagles was terrifying. Furthermore, Xiao Shi was being chased by the Golden Peng Bird, making him extremely conspicuous. It was impossible not to be noticed.
"Boom!"
The Golden Lightning Eagle's eyes flashed with a ferocious light. Runes flickered across its body, and the power of lightning surged out wildly. Thunder pillars, each as thick as a water bucket, struck at Xiao Shi who was sprinting, from a distance of half a kilometer!
Xiao Shi was miserable. He was so unlucky. Facing more than ten giant bolts of lightning, he began to dodge left and right, employing the legendary "snake skin" footwork!
At the same time, a phoenix phantom reappeared on his body, instantly merging with him, transforming him into a phoenix that was two or three meters long. Then, his speed increased dramatically, reaching an extreme.
Is that the True Phoenix Secret Art?
At this moment, both the Golden Lightning Eagle and the Golden Peng Bird in the rear, froze for a moment when they saw the phoenix. But then, a look of greed appeared in the two birds' human-like eyes, completely unhidden!
Especially the Golden Peng Bird. It possessed the bloodline of the Golden-Winged Peng. Strictly speaking, it was also a descendant of the Phoenix. Although not recognized, the temptation of that secret art was unparalleled for any bird.
As for whether it's true, catching the egg thief will clear everything up.
Boom!
The Golden Peng Bird's body flashed with runes, its golden light extending for thousands of feet, dazzling like a small sun. With a shake of its wings, a fierce gale erupted, carrying an irresistible force as it charged towards Xiao Shi!
Even the Golden Lightning Eagle couldn't help but feel fear at this sight. The pressure of the powerful Ancient Descendant nearly made it fall to the ground!
Especially when the Golden Peng Bird looked over, its ferocious, cold gaze plunged it into an icy abyss. The gap between them was too vast, not even on the same level. With a shake of its wings, the Golden Lightning Eagle glanced resentfully in the direction Xiao Shi had left and quickly departed.
If it weren't for Xiao Shi stealing its two Bird Eggs, it would have long since distanced itself from the Golden Peng Bird.
