C206 Shocking away the Giant Bird
The exchange was short, but it only took a moment to complete. However, Lin Cheng could clearly see one of the claws of the fierce bird. In an instant, it was slashed open by the Great Arrow's arrowhead, which wasn't too sharp!
The claw of the fierce bird was harder than metal, and a crack was cut open. This also meant that the claw was almost crippled.
Lin Cheng couldn't help but feel a bit regretful. This was because he didn't have a place to stand, and he couldn't use his full strength. Otherwise, he would have definitely been able to cut off the fierce bird's claw!
A single strike had injured the fierce bird, and it had also left an indelible wound on the beast. This boosted Lin Cheng's confidence greatly, and he couldn't help but marvel at the toughness of this great arrow!
Although the Great Arrow had been eroded by the passage of time, its power was already negligible. It could be said that its power was almost gone, but even so, this Great Arrow was still a rare treasure. Just the material of the Great Arrow itself... It could already be considered a rare treasure.
At least, Lin Cheng had lived two lives. He had never seen such a hard and sharp treasure. It was so hard that it made one's hair stand on end. To this Great Arrow, it was no different from a piece of paper. Just this point alone... It's enough to shock people!
One had to know that the pair of daggers that Tai Wenzing had given him earlier... The material was already quite good. The daggers that he had brought from Gui Yi Sect... Naturally, they could not be compared to ordinary weapons. However, in front of this Great Arrow... That pair of daggers was no different from scrap metal.
No!
Lin Cheng could not help but shake his head. Using that dagger to compare with the Great Arrow was an insult to the Great Arrow itself!
"Little thief, that beast hasn't left yet. It seems like it still wants to attack!" Bamboo said quickly.
"Hmph!"
Lin Cheng said confidently, "It doesn't dare! As long as this beast isn't stupid, it will never attack again!"
The advantage of this beast was its ability to fly, and its physique was far superior to that of a human's. However, when Lin Cheng held the great arrow in his hand, the super strong physique of this fierce bird was not worth mentioning.
"Chirp ~ ~ ~"
In the sky, the giant bird seemed to have seen the sneer on Lin Cheng's face. Sensing Lin Cheng's disdain towards it, it let out an angry cry and a wave of pressure swept over.
"Swoosh!"
Lin Cheng's expression remained unchanged. He struck out his palm, instantly dispersing the powerful pressure.
The giant bird let out a few more shrill cries. It hovered in the air and stared at Lin Cheng and his companion.
However, Lin Cheng could feel that the giant bird wasn't staring at him. Instead, it was staring at the Great Arrow in his hand. He couldn't help but sneer. It seemed like this beast was really afraid of the rare treasure left behind by the Homo Clan's Emperor.
In front of the Great Arrow, it was useless even if the giant bird had a golden body and iron bones.
"Chirp! Chirp!"
A moment later, the giant bird let out two unwilling chirps before flapping its wings and flying away.
Lin Cheng withdrew his surging Yuan energy and smiled. "This beast is afraid."
"Little thief, why do you think this giant bird will attack us?"
Bamboo curled her brows and said, "With the size of this giant bird, the two of us should be no different from ants in its eyes. Even if it wanted to hunt, it should find bigger beasts! Moreover, the two of us are hanging on the cliff, so it should be very difficult for us to be discovered. "
Lin Cheng said thoughtfully," Although this giant bird is flying high, its eyesight should also be better. It's not hard to find us, as for why it attacked us... Maybe it's because we broke into its territory, or it sensed that we could pose a threat to it. "
"Or perhaps..."
Lin Cheng's eyes fell on the black Great Arrow, "This giant bird has the same goal as us. It also wants this rare treasure left behind by the Homo Clan Emperor."
"Ah?"
The bamboo was startled, "It's a big bird. What can it do with this rare treasure?"
Lin Cheng smiled and said, "This is only my guess. No matter why this beast wants to attack us, at least it won't dare to do so in the future."
When the bamboo heard this, it also nodded and smiled, "That strike just now should have taught it a lesson."
Regarding this giant bird, the two of them had no intention of treating it as their mortal enemy. This was because perhaps they had accidentally intruded into the other party's territory, which caused the other party to be hostile towards them.
Now, as long as the giant bird did not attack them, they would not deliberately seek out the giant bird to kill it. They entered the mystic realm only to explore and increase their strength.
There was one more important thing that made Lin Cheng unwilling to continue fighting the giant bird.
Although there was only one attack from the giant bird, and it only lasted for a short period of time, it only lasted for a split second. However, this split second attack had gathered all of Lin Cheng's combat experience and experience regarding the Scorching Sun Knife. Force! The power and the pure Yuan energy within his body.
It could be said that this strike had condensed all of Lin Cheng's Cultivation Level since his rebirth. It was precisely because of this that he was able to repel the giant bird with a single strike and injure one of its claws!
Although a portion of this was due to the effects of the black Great Arrow, Lin Cheng's own Cultivation Level was also indispensable.
It was also because of Lin Cheng's all-out attack that caused the air to tremble in that instant, as if the space itself was somewhat distorted.
This attack had given Lin Cheng a great insight. He even felt as if he had grasped something in his heart. He needed time to calm down and think carefully.
Therefore, after repelling the giant bird, he didn't delay any longer and the two of them continued to fall.
"Pa! Da! "
When two soft sounds rang out, Lin Cheng and Bamboo's feet finally landed on the ground. From the moment they jumped off the cliff until now, after a few months, they finally arrived at the canyon.
Of course, strictly speaking, it only took them a few hours to get down from the cliff. This included the time they spent fighting the giant bird. The remaining few months were the time they spent cultivating on the Great Arrow.
The greatest harvest they had gained in the past few months was that Lin Cheng had already reached his limit. Bamboo's strength had also increased by a large margin, although it hadn't reached its limit yet. However, if it was only in terms of the strength of her Yuan energy, she was no longer inferior to Lin Cheng.
If she were to match it with a suitable weapon, even in the outside world, Bamboo would definitely be a top expert amongst those of the same realm.
At this moment, Lin Cheng was holding his Horse-chopping Knife in his hand, and the black Great Arrow on his back was prepared for the bamboo.
Because this Great Arrow was more than three meters long, it was really inconvenient for the bamboo to be placed on his back. Therefore, Lin Cheng carried it on her behalf. If anything unexpected happened... He only needed to turn around, and the bamboo would easily pull out the Great Arrow to fight the enemy.
As soon as they landed on the ground, the two of them headed in the same direction. Previously, they were still on the cliff, but they had already discovered a small river in the canyon, or rather, a small stream, which was more suitable for them. Right now, they were heading towards this small stream.
During the time they were on the cliff, although consuming the pill would allow them to not have to worry about eating or drinking, they did not have to worry about eating or drinking. However, the two of them were not cultivator after all, and were far from reaching the point of fasting. Due to their bodily instincts, they could no longer hold themselves back after seeing the stream and headed towards it at the fastest speed possible.
Very soon, the two of them arrived at the stream.
It was a stream that was only three to four meters wide. The clear stream flowed with a splash, creating some splashes.
There were some plants and trees growing on both sides of the stream. Although they were not very tall, they were very healthy and strong. Their branches and leaves were lush and full of vitality.
After confirming that there was no problem with the water in the stream, the two of them first drank a full meal before starting to clean themselves.
"Little thief, you, you go a bit farther away and stand guard for me." Bamboo suddenly said with a slightly red face.
"What?"
Lin Cheng was startled and immediately reacted. He smiled evilly and said, "Girl, are you going to... take a bath?"
Bamboo's face turned slightly red, and she rolled her eyes at him. "Shameless! I just want to wash up, you should go further away quickly..."
Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly frowned.
Lin Cheng also narrowed his eyes and gave her a look, signaling her not to speak. "Alright, I'll stay further away. It should be far enough to go to the stream, right?"
After saying that, he jumped over the stream easily and arrived at the other side of the stream.1
In the next moment, Lin Cheng's body suddenly expanded. The long blade in his hand suddenly struck out and slashed at the nearby plants.
"Ah!"
A cry of alarm rang out from within the trees, and in the next moment, the voice stopped abruptly.
The long blade in Lin Cheng's hand was placed on a person's shoulder, and the incomparably sharp blade was only less than half an inch away from the person's neck!
This was a man who was about the same height as Lin Cheng. The clothes on his body were somewhat tattered, and there was even some blood stains on his face. His face was filled with terror.
Lin Cheng recognized this person with a single glance from his clothes. He was an outer sect disciple of Gui Yi Sect.
However, what made Lin Cheng wary was that he had seen every single person from Gui Yi Sect who entered the secret realm. He could definitely recognize them, but he didn't know this man!
"Who are you?!"
Lin Cheng asked in a deep voice. Although he had been affected by the sound of flowing water by the stream just now, it only took him a moment to notice this person's breathing. This was enough to show that this person's strength wasn't weak, "Speak!"
"Senior brother, please show mercy!"
Hearing Lin Cheng's shout, this person immediately tensed up and quickly said, "I am from the Longevity Sect. We are from the same sect as your esteemed sect in the Dongzhou. We are good friends with each other. Please show mercy, senior brother."
"You know me?"
Lin Cheng frowned and asked in a deep voice, "You are from the Longevity Sect? Then why are you wearing the uniform of Gui Yi Sect?"
The man hesitated for a moment and said, "Senior brother, I didn't mean to pretend to be a disciple of your sect. I had no choice but to..."
Seeing Lin Cheng frown, he quickly said," It's like this, the people of the three major sects gathered at the top of the mountain that day. We were going to explore this canyon. Senior brother, you were there that day. And it was precisely because of senior brother's words that our Longevity Sect wasn't expelled from the mountain. However, something unexpected happened next. The cliff was extremely hard. The weapons we brought with us couldn't break it, so we were forced to go down the mountain. We'll go around the foot of the mountain. "
