Strange Bird

The moment the core of the pattern was exposed to the air, Zhuowen quickly took out the second Hou Yi Sacred Arrow from his macro world, nocked it on the bowstring, and pulled it into a full moon shape.

Whoosh!

The Hou Yi Sacred Arrow pierced through the air and hit the core of the pattern when it was completely enveloped by the sword Qi.

With a cracking sound, the core of the pattern shattered into pieces. Then, the Hou Yi Sacred Arrow shot backward, passing through many towering black trees and finally nailing itself to the trunk of the last black tree.

After the core of the pattern shattered, the sword Qi that had been recondensed collapsed.

Zhuowen put away the two Hou Yi Sacred Arrows and immediately arrived at the broken stone tablet. There was almost no sword Qi in this place.

Zhuowen spat out a mouthful of blood and his face was pale. He sat down cross-legged and took out several Creation Level healing pills from his macro world. After taking them, he looked much better.

At the same time, Zhuowen took out a large pile of Heavenly Way Origin Crystals from his macro world and frantically absorbed the Heavenly Way energy in them.

With the help of the Heavenly Way energy, he began to heal the terrible injuries on his body.

Zhuowen's physical injuries were extremely serious. He looked like a man of blood, covered in blood.

Moreover, there were many huge wounds on his body. In these wounds, the white bones inside were exposed. He looked extremely miserable.

At this moment, with the help of the Heavenly Way energy, these terrible wounds were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After the wounds were completely healed, the coagulated blood scabs on the surface of Zhuowen's body fell off, revealing a perfect body that looked like it was carved out of jade.

After the wounds on his body healed, Zhuowen was surprised to find that the Pangu Sacred Body had become tougher than before, as if it had been reborn.

"It seems that being tortured by the sword Qi is not always a bad thing!" Zhuowen muttered to himself in a self-deprecating manner.

After he was in his best condition, Zhuowen stood up again. His eyes were like lightning as he looked at the mountain peak in front of him where the stone tablet was broken. His gaze became somewhat serious.

He looked at the peak of the mountain. Mei Ying had told him that the exit to the Massacre Heavenly Domain was at the peak of the Forbidden Death Mountain.

However, according to the map that he had obtained, the place that led him to the Candle Dragon's corpse was not the peak of the Forbidden Death Mountain. Instead, it was located at the northeast corner of the mountain. There was a symbol of an altar there.

Zhuowen knew that the altar should be the space where the Candle Dragon's corpse had fallen. Just like the place where Gonggong had fallen, it existed in an independent small world.

Zhuowen took out the map and looked at it a few times. After confirming that the location of the Candle Dragon's corpse was correct, he put the map away and stepped into the mountain.

"What terrifying Sword Qi!"

The moment he entered the mountain range, Zhuowen could feel the violent Sword Qi around him. His body was immediately torn apart by the Sword Qi, causing him to bleed incessantly.

The Sword Qi in the mountain range was too terrifying. Zhuowen could only endure the Sword Qi while circulating his Heavenly Dao energy to speed up the recovery of his body.

The tearing of the Sword Qi and the recovery of his body reached a delicate balance.

However, this was very draining for Zhuowen. After walking for a while, Zhuowen had to stop and rest. He also had to absorb the Heavenly Dao Origin Crystals in the great world to replenish his energy.

Zhuowen could not imagine how he could make it to the peak of the Forbidden Death Mountain if he could not open his great world.

At the same time, Zhuowen thought of Crape Myrtle Star. Crape Myrtle Star had managed to make it through the Forbidden Death Mountain on his own. How powerful was Crape Myrtle Star now?

After almost recovering, Zhuowen continued on his journey. The Torch Dragon's Eye on his back was always open to observe his surroundings.

The black trees at the peak of the mountain were much denser than at the foot of the mountain and the mountainside. The visibility here was also much worse than at the foot of the mountain and the mountainside.

"Hmm?"

Zhuo Wen suddenly stopped in his tracks. Then, he rolled over and hid in a small depression not far from his left.

The moment Zhuowen hid in the depression, a loud rustling of leaves sounded out of nowhere. A huge two-winged bird that was thousands of feet long swept across the dense forest.

Then, the two-winged bird stopped above the dense forest and circled above the depression. It let out an unpleasant cry that was like that of an owl. It was terrifying.

Zhuowen hid in the depression with an ugly expression. Could it be that he had been discovered by the bird? It actually stopped in the air and did not leave.

Zhuowen saw the full appearance of the two-winged bird through the Torch Dragon's Eye. His expression turned even uglier.

The two-winged bird was covered in dense scales. Its claws seemed to be forged from steel and suffused with a metallic luster. In the darkness, they flickered with a cold light.

In particular, the terrifying aura of the bird made Zhuowen's expression change slightly. This bird's aura was not weaker than that of a middle-stage Heaven Reaching Master.

Moreover, it was in the Forbidden Dead Mountain, an environment full of sword Qi. This two-winged bird had a natural advantage. Even a middle-stage Heaven Reaching Master would have a high chance of dying in a battle with this bird.

Zhuowen was very clear that if he was discovered by this two-winged bird, it would be a tough battle. There was even a high chance that he would be seriously injured. He might not even be able to kill this two-winged bird.

Suddenly, the circling two-winged bird let out a long cry and swooped down at an extremely fast speed. The direction it swooped down just happened to be in the area where Zhuowen was.

Zhuowen's expression changed slightly. His heart thumped. Could it be that the bird had discovered him?

Zhuowen did not move. He stuck to the side of the depression and stared at the bird that was swooping down.

The bird was getting closer and closer. A thousand meters, a hundred meters … until it was ten meters away. Zhuowen's heart was in his mouth, but he still did not move.

* Boom! *

Suddenly, when the bird was ten meters away from the depression, there was a violent vibration and a buzzing sound around the depression.

Then, Zhuowen discovered that a hundred-zhang-long python had soared into the sky and was fighting with the two-winged bird.

Zhuowen's expression was ugly, and his back was covered in cold sweat. This python had been lying in ambush around him all this time, but he had not noticed it at all.

In other words, if the two-winged bird had not appeared, the python would very likely have attacked him secretly. At that time, he would have suffered a calamity.

* Peng peng peng! *

The strength of the python and the bird was very close. Both had the battle strength of a middle-stage Heaven Reaching Master. As the two clashed, terrifying shockwaves surged out like endless waves.

The surrounding black trees swayed as the terrifying shockwaves spread out, as if they would fall and break at any time.

Countless leaves fell to the ground and were blown by the wind, fluttering in the air like fairies in the dark.

Zhuowen kicked with his right foot and rushed out of the depression like a bolt of lightning.

He knew he could not stay here for long. Both the python and the bird had probably discovered him. No matter who won, he would be the next to be dealt with.

However, Zhuowen suddenly stopped when he was about a hundred meters away. He had a strange look in his eyes.

In the Forbidden Death Mountain Range, Zhuo Wen had met many powerful creatures and observed many of them.

However, when these creatures met, they basically turned a blind eye and brushed past him. They would not attack the python with such a strong purpose like the strange bird.

In other words, the strange bird must have attacked the python for a purpose. It was very likely that the place where the python was guarding had something that the strange bird needed.

Given that the strange bird was such a powerful creature, the thing it needed was definitely not ordinary.
