Lin Xiao was admiring the bird beast's beauty, but he was more concerned about something else. If the bird continued to stay in front of the cave, how could he possibly move from here?
The bird stayed silence, so do Lin Xiao.
Even though he was itching to scratch his neck, Lin Xiao held it in. He didn't want to move and possibly startled the beast in front of him. His life was more important than that.
Time ticked.
After what seemingly like a decade, Lin Xiao saw the beast moved. It lowered its head and pecked on something below the rock. After moving a bit, the beast then opened its large wing then flew out again.
The strange sound was no longer heard.
'Has it left?'
Lin Xiao waited for another minute before making sure that the beast had left. He slowly scrambled out of the cave while heaving a sigh of relief. The beast was indeed beautiful, but the sheer pressure and temperature had already crushed any of his intention to even get close.
Maybe when he got stronger, he could pay that bird a visit again.
After he got out, Lin Xiao ignored Su Han's corpse-or whatever that was left of him. He grabbed the hanging roots and slowly went down to check on what the bird was looking. Upon using the Primordial Light Night Moss to light up the area below the rocks, Lin Xiao's eyes widened.
There were several blue colored flower that was growing right under the rock. The temperature there was also chilling cold as if it was threatening to freeze anyone who dared to get close.
'This must be Yin type flower.'
Without better lighting, Lin Xiao didn't know for sure what the flower's name was. However, he knew for sure that it was a Yin Type flower type just from the temperature that was leaking out.
'It must be valuable.'
Initiating his hand with Qi, Lin Xiao grabbed the rocks and soil that kept the flowers in place. Almost immediately, his hand was seized with penetrating coldness. It was similar to the one when he got the Yang type flower for Yun before. But this time, instead of hot temperature, it was cold.
With poker face, Lin Xiao pulled it out and then swiftly kept the flower inside the Spatial Ring. The numbness and cold had disappeared but Lin Xiao knew that there were still some ice layer on his hand.
'Without the Spatial Ring, I wouldn't dare to attempt this.'
He still needed to climb again, so Lin Xiao didn't dare to harm himself. If his hand was crippled down here, he wouldn't be able to return. Thankfully, his hand restored its feeling after a while and Lin Xiao decided that it was time for him to return back.
Slowly, he began to climb again.
Oong!
The strange sound returned, but Lin Xiao paid no heed. The sound was coming from a distance away and probably would not have any threat to him. What was important to him now was to get out of this cliff as fast as possible.
Swish!
The faint sound of flapping wind nearly dropped Lin Xiao's heart. He glanced down once and wondered whether the beast was nearby or not.
'Maybe not? I'm just overthinking, right?'
Lin Xiao could feel cold sweat dripping on his back as he sped up his climbing process. He could already see the surroundings better and noticed that the sun was already high above. When he left this morning, it was still early, but it was already afternoon by now.
He spent quite a lot of time in the cliff.
Suddenly, he heard terrifying shriek from below him.
Lin Xiao's heart dropped as he climbed even faster. This time, he no longer paid much attention to the rocks, making his fingers got several cuts in the process as he struggled to get out.
Swish!
The sudden sound from below alarmed Lin Xiao. He noticed the large blue bird was coming at him. Swiftly, Lin Xiao kicked the rocks and hanged on the hanging roots to propel himself to the side. That move saved him from being ripped by the big blue bird's beak.
Swish!
"Guh."
The terrifying cold still permeate to Lin Xiao's side. He could only quicken his steps as he rushed out of the cliff. His eyes watched the bird that was coming to him as he rolled down and landed on the muddy water.
His hand quickly touched his forehead.
"Lin Hu!"
Shua!
The majestic dragon came out from Lin Xiao's forehead. Unlike his previous appearance, this time Lin Hu had grown slightly bigger. After Lin Xiao had grown stronger, it also affected Lin Hu's appearance.
"Master."
"Help me, Lin Hu!"
Lin Hu looked at his master in indignation. "I'm only comparable to 1 stage above you, Master."
Lin Xiao's heart skipped a beat. One rank above him meant… Body Training Rank 9….
Looking at the powerful beast, Lin Xiao was dumbfounded. What should he do?
"That…."
"Master, you truly only know how to create trouble."
Lin Xiao: "…" he couldn't refute.
