Chen Chuan caught the scent and was momentarily lost in thought.
He had heard that the Old Imperial Family used a type of Scout Bird for tracking in the wild. However, since these creatures weren't very useful in large-scale military engagements, the records only mentioned them briefly.
Based on his observations on the way here, creatures in the Merging Land rarely lasted long after losing their ability to fight or becoming a corpse. Yet this bird had been lying here for a while, and surprisingly, no insects or other creatures had come to tear it apart.
The surrounding environment had been heavily damaged by the Insect Flowing Sand, but the ecosystem of the Merging Land recovered quickly, especially in a dense forest like this.
So, the scent on this creature's body must have the effect of repelling the creatures of the Merging Land.
This also explained why it could fly so far on its own without being hunted as prey, despite its apparent lack of combat strength.
