Chapter 118: The Black Crow’s Flying Feather
Dr. Bai had considered how he would save himself, and even how long he would be trapped here, but he had never imagined that the one to rescue him would be Song Tiantian.
He never would have thought that Song Tiantian would be the one to rescue him; this was something he could never have foreseen.
He was shocked when he saw Song Tiantian.
He couldn’t believe it was Song Tiantian. How had Song Tiantian avoided so many dangers, and how had she found her way here so precisely?
He could roughly understand the intentions behind the mental fluctuations of the Hell Ghost Vine and the White Lotus.
The Black Crow saw Song Tiantian for the first time, but it had heard of Song Tiantian from the White Lotus long ago.
And now, listening to the exchange between the Hell Ghost Vine and the White Lotus, plus the fact that Song Tiantian had given it delicious dried meat, it only regretted not having met Song Tiantian sooner.
Big White couldn’t speak, but it understood. Its strength wasn’t yet enough to freely control mental power for communication.
It wanted to speak, but couldn’t.
It felt the Hell Ghost Vine was exaggerating too much, claiming it had easily defeated the Illusion Grass, then forced the Illusion Grass to form a contract with Song Tiantian, and had the Illusion Grass inquire if any beasts had seen the White Lotus. Later, it thought of the Mimosa’s special effects and brought Song Tiantian into the Restricted Area.
The Illusion Grass was terrified upon entering the Restricted Area, its entire body going limp like waterweed.
Together, they, one beast and one human, feared no danger and pressed forward bravely.
This was too fake. The Hell Ghost Vine had clearly been turned into an idiot by the Illusion Grass and was motionless.
If their Owner hadn’t pointed a knife at the Illusion Grass for a fatal blow, the Hell Ghost Vine wouldn’t have been able to regain consciousness at all.
Fortunately, the White Lotus asked the question that Big White most wanted to voice: “Even though you’ve already been promoted to a Five-star Fierce Beast, you’re facing a Six-star Illusion Grass. How could you possibly defeat it? Even with a Five-star Illusion Grass, it’s difficult to break through its illusions.”
【What do you know? My Owner has always trained me as their main Pet Beast. They always think of me first when there’s anything good, even going to Secret Realms to collect high-grade Destiny Grass and Bloodthirsty Hidden Grass for me, hunting high-grade Fierce Beast blood for me, and even feeding me top-grade human blood.
No one was killed; they were willing. I drank some blood, and my Owner helped her with her affairs and escorted her safely home.】
“Don’t Destiny Grass and Bloodthirsty Hidden Grass only exist in the Misty Illusion Realm?”
【What do you know? Have you been to all the Secret Realms?】
The Hell Ghost Vine refused to admit that it had only eaten so well after arriving here. In any case, Song Tiantian had also found many ingredients for it elsewhere before.
The Hell Ghost Vine could vaguely sense the White Lotus’s envious emotions.
The delicious things it mentioned, Qingshan Blood Lotus, Qingshan Fertile Soil…
These were all names Song Tiantian had created herself for top-grade fertilizer, making them seem like high-end gourmet food.
With names, the dark, muddy fertilizer looked completely different and of a higher class.
These two were the materials the Hell Ghost Vine liked the most.
They were all named with “Qingshan” because they were currently living in Qingshan City. The local specialties were from the illusionary realms around Qingshan City, hence the naming convention. If they went to other places in the future, they would use other place names as prefixes to distinguish them.
Compared to the peaceful days in the city, the Hell Ghost Vine did not like it. It mostly stayed in its Pet Beast Space to recuperate.
It wasn’t as smooth sailing as in the Secret Realms.
Every time it went out with Song Tiantian, it had basically never encountered setbacks or high-level Fierce Beasts.
Unlike before in the city, when it was almost beaten to death by that Liu Zhe.
This was also an achievement. It immediately embellished this event slightly and told the White Lotus how it had almost counter-killed a Seven-star Beast Tamer, severely injuring Liu Zhe and making Liu Zhe flee in utter disarray.
“No, you actually let Tiantian alone hard-counter a Seven-star Pet Beast while you went to fight that useless Beast Tamer? What were you thinking!”
The White Lotus was speechless. Human bodies were much more fragile than Pet Beast bodies.
【That was the Owner’s order. Otherwise, how could we survive? Besides, the Iron-eating Beast’s skin is very thick, and I was helping the Owner.】
The Hell Ghost Vine felt a bit guilty, and its mood also became a little low.
If it were itself now, it could definitely have counter-killed Liu Zhe.
At that time, if those two Pet Beasts died, the Owner’s strength would definitely have dropped significantly. It would have been easy for it to deal with them then.
It could feel Song Tiantian’s miserable state at the time. At least Song Tiantian had never bled so much, her bones were broken, and it was it that had straightened them and fixed them with wooden boards.
The smell of blood was particularly strong then. Song Tiantian had also changed her clothes several times. At that time, it was also severely injured and couldn’t protect Song Tiantian.
Song Tiantian didn’t say anything, but it knew how difficult it was for Song Tiantian.
It used to rarely call Song Tiantian “Owner,” only calling her by her name.
But now, it was completely convinced by Song Tiantian.
It truly considered Song Tiantian its Owner and genuinely acknowledged her.
Song Tiantian didn’t sleep for too long, only dozing off for a bit. In this environment, she couldn’t sleep very soundly.
She was simply too tired, so she rested for a while. Upon waking, she saw the Hell Ghost Vine chattering away with the White Lotus beside her.
Dr. Bai walked with a limp, leaning on his crutch.
As soon as the Black Crow saw Song Tiantian wake up, it immediately flew to her side, cawing.
【Give me some meat!】
Perhaps it thought Song Tiantian couldn’t understand, so it immediately said again, “Tiantian, give me some dried meat, and I’ll give you my feathers. My feathers are very powerful.”
Nine-star Fierce Beasts could speak, it just depended on whether they wanted to.
Under normal circumstances, the Black Crow didn’t like talking to people.
The feathers on the Black Crow’s body had already regained some of their luster.
As it spoke, it spat out two very beautiful Flying Feathers from its mouth.
“Tiantian, if you inject Spiritual Power into these Flying Feathers, they will transform into a giant flying bird, allowing you to escape quickly and avoid danger.”
Song Tiantian reached out and took the two Flying Feathers. She could sense the immense Power contained within them.
This was truly too precious.
If she had had this item before when Liu Zhe was chasing her, she could have definitely escaped safely and wouldn’t have been beaten so badly like before.
Actually, it was fine. They were all superficial wounds, not serious, just looked bad.
The Hell Ghost Vine and Big White were the ones most seriously injured at the time; they both took the fatal blows.
“If only I had this good thing before, I wouldn’t have been bullied so badly by Liu Zhe. That Liu Zhe, as soon as he arrived, he took Dr. Bai’s position. He probably thought I was Dr. Bai’s person and wanted to target me first. As soon as he arrived, he beat me half to death. I reported it to the Law Enforcement Bureau, but no one helped me.”
While badmouthing Liu Zhe, Song Tiantian took out a bag of her treasured top-grade dried meat from her Space and gave the entire bag to the Black Crow.
