Zi Chen stopped and stood there motionless, looking at the little bird.
Compared to the other large birds, it was indeed a small bird, but for some reason, this small bird's eyes had obvious changes in emotion. This made Zi Chen have a bad feeling. Could it be that this was an even stronger one?
The other party looked at Zi Chen, the mockery in its eyes gradually receding, replaced by endless indifference.
"Human, you can stop now!"
Zi Chen was shocked. Not to mention that Demonic Beasts could talk, Zi Chen wouldn't be surprised if they could take human form, but that was when he was in the Saint Spirit Realm.
This was a different world!
Moreover, the other party had seen through his identity, so it obviously wouldn't mistake him for one of its kind.
It was different from the other big birds.
"What do you mean by this?"
Zi Chen asked subconsciously.
"You can leave now."
The little bird said indifferently, "Leave this place!"
Through this short conversation, the other party should have known his whereabouts and what he had done during this period. Zi Chen couldn't help but feel a little relieved. Fortunately, he didn't go too far and left one or two eggs for each of the big birds. Otherwise, he might be in danger.
Zi Chen looked around. "How do I leave?"
"Go back the way you came, and you will leave this place!" The other party's words were still cold, and there was even a hidden killing intent in its eyes. For some reason, it held back.
Zi Chen nodded, thanked it for the directions, and then turned to leave.
Originally, he was thinking about whether he should store some more eggs before leaving. After all, food was the most important thing. However, when he turned back and saw that the little bird was still there, Zi Chen completely dispelled this idea.
For some reason, the other party had been holding back its killing intent. If he went overboard again, the other party might attack.
At this moment, Zi Chen didn't doubt that the other party had the ability to kill him.
As he walked back the way he came, many big birds came out to look for food. They only glanced at Zi Chen without any change in their emotions, as if they still regarded him as one of their kind.
Maybe …?
Were they not hostile to him because they were instructed to?
This thought suddenly appeared in Zi Chen's mind.
Zi Chen, who had been moving in the opposite direction, finally left this place.
"Why are you helping him?"
The little bird never looked away. It kept looking at Zi Chen until he disappeared. It was still indignant.
"For him to appear here, it might be fate."
A multicolored bird flew over and said in a gentle tone, "We should be more lenient towards people who are fated with us."
"Why does that sound weird?"
"I don't blame you. Master said it back then. Even though Master hasn't returned for many years, I still remember his words clearly."
*****
*****
Walking out of that special space, Zi Chen felt a little regretful that he hadn't been able to bring out any food.
If the creatures outside were like those big birds, Zi Chen would not be able to survive unless he ate grass every day.
This was a mountainous area. Zi Chen walked forward, and just as he was about to leave, a voice suddenly rang out from behind him.
"If you encounter danger that you can't resolve, you can still come back!"
It was the voice from before. Zi Chen looked back, but he didn't see anyone. The voice came from that space.
Zi Chen was a little surprised. The other party was very cold to him and even had killing intent. Now, he actually said such words.
He cupped his fists behind him as a return of gratitude.
After that, Zi Chen walked away openly. There were many big birds in that space, and there was also that little bird. If there was really danger, he could come here to take refuge.
This was undoubtedly a good thing for Zi Chen, so he deliberately looked around and tried his best to remember any place that could be used as a marker. After doing all this, Zi Chen still felt uneasy, so he left a man-made marker in this place.
After doing this, he left with peace of mind.
Along the way, Zi Chen sensed his surroundings and tried to find some unusual places, or places that were related to opportunities.
Of course, first of all, he had to get food. This was the most important thing for survival.
"It's better to have some fruits. Although a bird will come out of my mouth, I can forget about meat."
Zi Chen muttered in his heart. After seeing those big birds, the desire to eat meat in his heart lessened a lot, although he really wanted to eat.
After all, he was no different from a mortal now. Without meat to sustain himself, he felt weak all over.
Suddenly, Zi Chen's expression changed. In his perception, a rabbit appeared. Although it was much bigger than the rabbit he knew, Zi Chen still recognized it at a glance.
This was meat!
After sensing the existence of the other party, Zi Chen didn't feel excited. Instead, he was full of vigilance. The big birds from before could spit out flames. What ability did this rabbit have?
Could it spit out frost?
Zi Chen didn't dare to get close. Instead, he stood in the distance and waited.
Maybe it had some special ability.
The rabbit was eating grass. The grass was ordinary grass. During this time, it didn't encounter any natural enemies. Naturally, it didn't show any ability.
Zi Chen hesitated. Compared to those big birds, this rabbit's body wasn't very large. It might not be a match for him in a fight.
Moreover, there were no chickens around, and eggs were even harder to find. Under such circumstances, this rabbit should be his only food.
After hesitating for a while, Zi Chen decided to make the first move.
With the momentum of a thunderbolt, he attacked with all his strength!
He stood there, his right leg slightly bent. His eyes were fixed in the direction of the rabbit.
He began to adjust his breathing, looking for an opportunity to make his move.
The rabbit was still eating grass, unaware of the approaching danger. At this time, its back was facing Zi Chen.
Now was the time!
Soil flew up. Zi Chen's figure disappeared from the spot. With a belated bang, Zi Chen was already beside the rabbit.
The rabbit was shocked and subconsciously wanted to escape. At this moment, a strong hand fell and firmly grasped the rabbit's neck.
At the same time, a fist whistled and landed on the rabbit's head.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Unable to determine the strength of the opponent, Zi Chen landed three punches in a row. Like lightning, he saw the rabbit's head explode.
Compared to holding an egg, the rabbit's head didn't seem so sturdy.
The rabbit kicked its legs a few times and died.
Zi Chen stood there in a daze.
He couldn't believe that the rabbit died just like that.
What about its ability?
Fire or frost?
However, Zi Chen quickly reacted and said excitedly, "That's right, that's right. That's normal. Everything that happened before was abnormal!"
After coming to this world, if everyone was to become an ordinary person, survival would be the biggest problem.
But if everyone met a big bird, they wouldn't be able to survive.
Not everyone had life-saving means. After all, there were only two thunder trees.
Now Zi Chen understood that this was a normal place to live. The previous place was abnormal.
Just like in the Kata Realm. That place was abnormal. The world outside the Kata Realm was normal.
But he entered the Kata Realm because of Qing Yi's master.
What about this time?
Zi Chen thought of the thunder tree. Could it be that the other party purposely tricked him?
But it didn't seem possible. How much ability could the thunder tree have? How could it know about the things in this world?
No matter how capable it was, could it extend its reach here?
But no matter what the reason was, Zi Chen saw the sky after the clouds cleared. At least there was meat to eat.
Zi Chen started to clean up. After that, he found some dried branches and started a fire to roast the meat …
The aroma of the meat gradually spread. Even without other seasoning, compared to Zi Chen who had been eating eggs for more than ten days, this rabbit was definitely a delicacy.
"Thinking about it, this is how others survive. It's really a good life."
Zi Chen sighed.
Suddenly, Zi Chen's expression changed slightly. In his perception, an inexplicable existence had appeared and was cautiously approaching.
Its body was only a little bigger than a rabbit. It crept on the grass and walked silently.
It was a civet cat.
Zi Chen came to a conclusion in his heart, but he still pretended to roast the meat carelessly.
The other party was still approaching. If he didn't have the power of perception, Zi Chen wouldn't have been able to discover its existence.
When he was ten meters away from Zi Chen, he stopped, and then crawled on the ground, motionless.
It didn't take the initiative to attack. Zi Chen was a little surprised. The other party was more vigilant than he thought.
When the meat was done, Zi Chen was already craving it.
He picked up the meat and blew it, then took a bite.
The grease entered his mouth and down his throat. The long-lost greasy feeling came.
Just then, Zi Chen felt a chill at his throat. That civet cat had launched a sneak attack.
He smiled coldly. The light under his feet shifted. As if he could predict the future, he dodged the attack.
Seeing that the civet cat's attack was about to miss, a light suddenly flowed out of the other party's body. The next moment, its body actually changed direction without any leverage. It was still going for Zi Chen's throat.
And its speed was even faster!
Zi Chen's expression changed. If it weren't for his perception, he wouldn't have been able to dodge this time.
Ability!
These two words appeared in Zi Chen's mind. It was the same ability as those big birds, but it wasn't fire. It should be speed.
Zi Chen shifted his feet again. Then, he suddenly exerted force and punched down.
Peng!
His fist hit the civet cat's head. The powerful force directly smashed it into the ground.
The civet cat screamed. After rolling a few times, it fled into the distance.
Zi Chen's body swayed. He touched his neck. There was blood on his hand. Even with his perception, he was still injured.
The previous rabbit made him careless. He thought there was almost no danger here. Now, he was vigilant again.
