The loud rumble startled Qi Xu.
He quickly turned around and looked back, only to find that... it was coming from the same direction.
That incredibly beautiful, dreamlike valley was being swallowed by a black torrent carrying rubble and sparks. It wasn't an ordinary landslide; the torrent shimmered with the cold light of scales, and several sharp roars pierced the twilight...
Qi Xu instantly understood the worries of the big black bird's parents: why they were running so desperately, and why they were so afraid of the sleeping giant awakening.
This person just woke up and stretched, yet their movements were so earth-shaking; they're not even in the same league...
"Don't be afraid, we've found a team. The Grand Elder and the others are experienced in fighting the sleeping behemoth and will definitely lead us to successfully hide until the day it falls into a deep sleep again!"
Qi Xu nodded, roughly understanding. Although the sleeping behemoth was powerful, ordinary creatures generally lived in groups, and each group should have a few powerful members to fight against the sleeping behemoth when it awakened.
This is the only way to ensure a basic balance.
But when Qi Xu arrived in the group of black birds, his eyes widened and he couldn't close them for a long time.
Because...the most majestic and powerful beings seem to be my own parents. The elder they mentioned, who has extensive experience fighting the sleeping behemoth, is a bit bald.
Could it be that one cannot judge a bird by its appearance?
"Oh my! Ah Zhuang, Ah Li, you two are finally back! We've been having such a hard time lately, fighting over territory all the time, but we couldn't win, so we had to hide in this corner. Let me see your little one, wow, she looks so energetic and smart, such a good little girl!"
Qi Xu grinned awkwardly, not at all like a master; he should have shown the manners expected of a junior.
Qi Xu ran forward obediently and said in a loud voice, "Greetings, Elder!"
"Hahaha, very good, very good, greetings, young clan leader! Your voice is so loud and clear, I haven't heard such a clear voice in a long time, you're definitely promising!"
Qi Xu: ? ? ?
What...what length?
Qi Xu followed behind, completely bewildered, until he overheard the elder talking to the black bird's parents, and realized that the clan leader was actually the black bird's mother...
Goodness, this is completely different from what Qi Xu imagined.
Originally, the family of three was a poor little thing who couldn't keep up with the group and was gradually abandoned. After returning, they might even be ostracized, but after all, they have such a high status among the clansmen.
After Qi Xu followed the big black bird parents into a low thicket, a "mountain of birds and sea of birds" suddenly appeared before his eyes.
The large black birds huddled together in the small open space. Some flapped their wings to grab tree branches, some carried dry grass and piled it on their backs, and a few plump chicks were playing tug-of-war around a piece of worm, turning their high-protein food into "silk noodles".
