Jiang Deng nodded, "Yeah, it's more real than real gold."
The bird boss chuckled and said, "Aren't you afraid that I won't come back after I run away?"
Jiang Deng remembered the female bird's instructions before she left, and said firmly, "Your eggs are still here. The bird can escape, but the eggs can't."
“…”
After Jiang Deng's reminder, the bird boss immediately remembered that he still had to hatch eggs, and said with a bitter face: "I, I may not be able to go."
"Hmm?" Jiang Deng raised his brows unhappily.
The bird boss laughed dryly and said, "I still have to hatch eggs and can't leave easily. This is my wife's order, I dare not disobey."
Jiang Deng's mouth twitched. She thought it was nothing serious. Love is just a small matter.
"It's okay, we'll help you hatch the eggs."
Bird Boss's eyes lit up immediately, "You are such nice people!"
Jiang Deng and Ying Yubing: "..."
No, compared to simple spirit beasts, they are simply evil humans.
"Then, I'll go..."
"Go ahead."
The eldest bird flapped its wings and flew away.
Jiang Deng did not lie to the bird boss. He set up a formation on the bird's nest to keep warm and incubate eggs. As for why he didn't do it himself?
Of course it’s because human body temperature is not as high as birds, so hatching is the same as not hatching at all.
Then, Jiang Deng scattered a lot of red spiritual fruits on the ground, preparing to attract the attention of the male birds so that it would be easier to take action.
After completing these preparations, Jiang Deng and Ying Yubing squatted on a tree branch, waiting for the bird boss to bring the birds over.
Sure enough, not long after, a flock of birds was flying towards this side.
Qing Yishui's long tail was indeed her target, the male bird among the wind-chasing long-tailed pheasants.
Including the eldest bird, a total of nine male birds flew down. When they saw the red fruits on the ground, their eyes all lit up.
“There’s really something delicious!”
"Alright, Boss Bird, I never knew you were so timid and cowardly. Now that you have food, you still remember us brothers!"
"No poking, no poking."
The eldest bird scratched his head with his wing and said awkwardly, "Haha, we're all relatives! What's the saying about humans? We share the good times and the bad times."
After the pleasantries, a group of male birds immediately started eating.
Jiang Deng on the tree narrowed his eyes slightly and was about to send a message to Ying Yubing to take action when there was suddenly a movement below.
The leading male bird seemed to realize something was wrong while eating. It raised its head and sniffed the air. "Why do I smell the scent of humans?"
Another male bird muttered, "What's there to be afraid of humans? Even though we're vegetarians, it's nice to have some meat occasionally."
The youngest male bird couldn't help swallowing, "I've never eaten a human before! What does it taste like?"
When the male birds heard that there were humans to feast on, they stopped eating the fruit and raised their heads following the smell. What caught their eyes were Jiang Deng and Ying Yubing in the tree.
Both of them are cultivators in the Jindan realm, and one of them is at the third level of the Jindan realm, about to break through to the middle stage of the Jindan realm!
My goodness, these are not humans that they can eat!
Such a powerful cultivator must have many spiritual weapons and spells in his hands. Even if they join forces, they may not be able to deal with him.
Thinking of this, the old male bird instantly became furious and looked at the bird boss angrily, "It was you who lured humans here!"
“Hehehe…”
The bird boss scratched his head and said, "Don't be afraid, brothers. These two monks don't want much. They just want one of your tail feathers."
"What! Tail feathers! That's all!"
The male birds all made the same scream as the bird boss had made before.
“…”
Jiang Deng and Ying Yubing on the side were speechless. Isn't this too exaggerated?
They just want a feather, are these male birds really going to such a risky deal?
"run!"
As the old male bird screamed, Ying Yubing immediately blew the jade flute and cast the freezing spell.
There are two ways to cast various spells.
One is to pinch the spiritual formula like Jiang Deng did before, and the other is to use a spiritual weapon specially used for magic. By using the spiritual weapon, the step of pinching the spiritual formula is omitted, so that the magic can be performed faster!
A low-grade Xuan-level magic technique, the Ice-Freezing Technique!
In an instant, Ying Yubing's ice attribute spiritual power was fully activated!
Most of the male birds' feet were frozen by the spreading ice before they could even leave the ground.
Even the old male bird with the fastest reaction, even though its feet were already flying off the ground, was still caught up by the ice crystals and its feet were frozen solid.
"Damn humans!"
"Bird Boss! You are truly a traitor to our bird tribe! Scum!"
"Boss Bird, if I had known you were so shameless, I should have pushed you out of the nest! I would have let you fall off the cliff and die!"
…
The male birds kept scolding the bird boss.
However, the bird boss seemed heartless and did not feel ashamed at all. Instead, he rubbed his wings and came close to Jiang Deng with a flattering look on his face.
"While they can't run away, quickly pluck their tail feathers!"
Jiang Deng couldn't help but raise a soul-searching question, "...Are you brothers?"
"Yes!" The eldest bird nodded. "You heard what it said. When we were all fighting for food in the same nest, they almost pushed me out!"
Jiang Deng: “…”
Okay, no problem.
I didn't realize this bird boss was so vindictive.
While the freezing spell was still on, Jiang Deng jumped down from the tree as quickly as possible and plucked out the most beautiful tail feather on their bodies.
Well, she got eight tail feathers, and the only thing missing was one from the bird boss. Then she would be able to complete the task assigned to her by the guardian of the secret realm.
Jiang Deng was happy, but the male birds whose tail feathers were plucked were heartbroken and cried so miserably that if you didn't know, you would think a human tragedy had happened here.
"Do you really need to do that?" Jiang Deng asked curiously.
The old male bird stroked his precious tail feathers and said angrily, "What do you females know? These tail feathers are the lifeblood of us male birds. We rely on them to attract females and reproduce!"
Jiang Deng and Ying Yubing: "..."
What an important role!
At this point, the duration of the ice spell has disappeared.
The male birds regained their mobility and glared at the leader bird one by one.
If they hadn't been concerned about the two human cultivators, Jiang Deng and Ying Yubing, still guarding here, they would have definitely taught Bird Boss a lesson he would never forget!
"Okay, let's go. I have to go home and hatch some eggs!"
"I'll bring some fruit back for my wife!"
"Alas, I still have to continue building my nest, hoping a female bird will take a fancy to me..."
Looking at the backs of the male birds flying away, Jiang Deng and Ying Yubing felt very emotional.
I don’t know about other things, but male spirit beasts are all very virtuous and are stronger than many men.
At this time, the eldest bird came over, stuck out its butt towards Jiang Deng, and spread its colorful tail feathers like a fan, just like a male peacock spreading its tail feathers.
"Don't you want my tail feathers? Come, pick one."
