Everyone was dumbfounded.
Outside the village, that seemingly metallic vicious bird was also shaken, and suddenly raised its head. Its eyes shot out lightning-like beams and vigilantly stared towards the altar.
The egg brushed by the tender green willow branch shined in a thousand splendid colors and was surrounded by a dense aura of light. In an instant, it looked like a divine object, bright, sparkly, and extremely shocking.
On the eggshell, the spots radiated light like small suns and emitted a strong burning sensation, as if an exuberant life force became more prominent. Furthermore, there were many mysterious patterns that appeared near the spots, and they looked like awe-inspiring divine serpents. The whole scene appeared as if a vermilion bird was bathing in fire.
That egg changed indescribably, and the mysterious patterns interweaved. After a short while, the entire egg was covered in a gorgeous pattern. Godly splendor flowed in all four directions.
“The life force in this egg just became many times more powerful, the ancient devil bird’s mark is recovering a lot in this particular offspring. If this egg hatches, the offspring’s strength will definitely far surpass that of the Green Scaled Eagle.” Chief Shi Yunfeng said shockingly.
This egg was a bit special, as it could potentially inherit many of the ancient devil bird’s imprint fragments. An ancestral inheritance phenomenon was taking place, and its bloodline would definitely be of an extremely high quality, far surpassing its parents’.
The scene of the old willow tree branch lightly brushing the egg caused people to be mind-blown! Did the willow tree find the egg special or was it due to some other mysterious force that caused the egg to mutate?
The entire village was shocked, and after looking at that splendid and shining egg, their eyes shone brightly. This was a rare war-bird, and its potential was limitless.
Outside the village, the Green Scaled Eagle covered in glistening scales perched on top of the huge rock. Both of its eyes staring intently, and didn’t dare to believe what was happening either.
It really wanted to rush into village to get a better look, but after seeing the old willow tree, it instinctively kept away and stayed outside to cry.
That lovely and jade-like willow branch no longer moved after displaying its lifelike movement of brushing the egg.
Clearly, its wasn’t that interested, it just merely brushed the egg.
The villagers all revelled, and only calmed down after a long while.
“Chief, do we keep this egg?” asked Shi Linhu. Right now, the villagers were all moved and full of passion. This was a magical and precious egg, and it would be a shame to let such an opportunity go.
“Don’t you see the vicious bird outside the village? If we keep the egg, it will go crazy.” Shi Yunfeng frowned.
The old willow tree was very mysterious and powerful, constantly protecting the village and obstructing ferocious beasts from destroying the village. Stone Village was its domain, but it was only defending. It would never even move outside the village, let alone voluntarily attack something.
That Green Scaled Eagle didn’t dare enter, but it only needed to block the village exit to make Stone Village’s people feel tormented. After all, the villagers still needed to go hunt in the mountain range.
“Forget it, let’s return this egg to that big furry bird.” An elder said.
The villagers were all disappointed, but there was no other way. The Green Scaled Eagle was too powerful. It was this region’s apex predator. If creatures that lived in the depth of the mountain range didn’t come out, it could definitely be considered the overlord.
A villager, careful and prudent, used the two ancestral artifacts as protection to deliver the three eggs to the village entrance. He laid it on the grass before quickly returning.
Right now, that mutated egg’s burning aura and radiance already dissipated and was no longer dazzling; however, the newly formed mysterious patterns never faded away, differentiating itself from the other two eggs and making it seem as if two different species of birds laid the eggs.
The Green Scaled Eagle flapped its wings, and let loose a violent gust of wind and threw itself over in an instant. Both wings spread, and suddenly protected all three eggs. Afterwards, it stared intently at that striped, lustrous, sparkling, special egg.
After letting out a long hiss, this vicious bird seemed extremely excited. Its voice cracked the skies, trembled the fields and forests and left leaves fluttering wildly in the air.
After a long while, it raised its head and left a strange look in its eyes. Its fearful radiance had long vanished and stared at the old willow tree in the village, but didn’t it dare take half a step inside the village.
“Hurry up and leave with your eggs already.” A few adults shouted, as if chasing away an epidemic.
However, beyond all expectation, the Green Scaled Eagle spread its wings, and after flapping furiously, released a violent gust of wind that pushed the three eggs back into the village towards the willow tree.
“What, it doesn’t want them? It’s giving them to us?” Everyone stood there in stupor. What was going on? Strange things were happening one after the other.
“It saw a mutated egg covered in dense mysterious symbols, in the future the offspring will far surpass it. It wants to offer it to us as a sacrifice and wants us to raise it.” Chief Shi Yunfeng said.
“It had these sort of thoughts?” A group of people were amazed.
“Don’t forget, this is a vicious bird that condensed mysterious symbols within its body, and it possesses an overflowing mysterious power within its bones. Its wisdom should not be lower than that of a human.” The old chief spoke.
The more formidable and unique the vicious bird was, the more wisdom it would possess. Legend has it that there were some Archaic beings with intelligence that were vastly superior to a human’s. They overlooked various tribes as if they were deities.
The village chief loudly inquired whether or not it really wanted to leave its descendants here. That Green Scaled Eagle actually nodded its head in response, and with its gaze flickering, it looked towards those three eggs before once again glancing at that old willow tree.
Hu!
After creating a violent gale, the Green Scaled Eagle spread both its wings that spanned roughly fifteen or sixteen meters and rushed into the air. In the blink of an eye, It disappeared into the clouds.
Everyone was stupefied; it left just like this? There were three sparkling and translucent eggs left on the ground, and no one had expected that things would end up this way.
“Uncle Linhu, what should we do now?” Er Meng asked.
“What to do? This situation was caused by you kids, so you little brats need to take responsibility!” Shi Linhu scowled.
“Ah, no! Save us!” The group of kids began to miserably shriek.
The three eggs were beside the great willow tree altar. Some people were assigned to protect them and to quietly wait until the birds hatched. After all, these were the eggs of a powerful vicious bird, and they were extremely precious.
After roughly a dozen days, a clear kacha sound rang out, and a crack appeared on one of the eggs. The jade colored shell split open, and from inside tumbled out a little guy covered in green flashing scales.
Following that, another egg also began to crack open, and what struggled out was a similarly another little guy. It stuck its head out and looked around, eyes bright while examining its surroundings.
The third egg was extremely special, and when the egg began to crack open, rays of multicolored light shot in all directions. Afterwards, a chirp rang out, and the solid egg was suddenly completely smashed open into fine powder, and the hatchling possessed a divine splendor.
A young hatchling appeared, and its body did not have any green scales, but rather purple scales. Light sparkled all around its body, as if a ball of fire was currently burning. It was quite a bit more mystical and mysterious than its two brothers.
After a long while, the purple ball of light dissipated and this spiritually astonishing hatchling was shrouded in brilliant purple scales. It’s vivacious large eyes as if they could speak, curiously looked at everyone. There was no doubt in anyone’s mind that this was an extraordinary bird.
“They hatched!” A group of children cheered, ran home, and took some meat to feed the three new hatchlings.
Suddenly, a long bird cry sounded. A huge vicious bird dove down from above the clouds, rapidly approaching Stone Village and casting a large shadow.
“Yi, it disappeared for half a month, and now the Green Scaled Eagle returned once again! Is it going to break its promise and take back its children?” Some villagers cried out in surprise.
“Wrong, what’s that?” People were shocked showed amazement in with their eyes.
Hong! Dust flew up into the air, the Green Scaled Hawk loosened its claws, and a colossal monster smashed into the ground creating a huge crater. Earth, smoke and dust all flew outwards.
This was a huge Dragon Horned Elephant, 67 meters long and 56 meters tall. The pair of dragon horns gave off a splendid light, and the extremely heavy body easily snapped the ancient trees that reached into the skies. It had been dead for a while already, and it’s huge skull already had several claw marks embedded into them. Blood was rushing out; it must have been killed almost instantly.
“Green Scaled Eagle what do you want us to do? Is it actually to feed the three hatchlings? You really are like a human, full of mighty wisdom!” The villagers gasped in admiration.
After a short cry, a violent wind erupted and roiled up the huge branches and leaves. The Green Scaled Eagle once again soared towards the heavens.
The villagers could no longer contain their happiness and laughter. This was an unexpectedly pleasant surprise. No one could have thought that the Green Scaled Eagle would deliver them a fierce beast. These types of vicious birds were all intelligent and wise.
In the following days, the Green Scaled Eagle unceasingly presented them with fierce beasts. From flying pythons to gigantic elephants, all kinds of fierce beasts from the mountain range were delivered.
After only a month, the three little tykes fattened up like balloons. They were almost two meters long, and their food consumption was also extremely shocking, increasing day by day.
“The eldest is called Da Peng, the second is called Xiao Qing, the youngest, Zi Yun1.” These were the three names given to them by the children.
Needless to say, these three Green Scaled Eagle were all very intelligent, extraordinarily magical, and they all excelled at understanding human nature. No matter what was said to them, they would understand; the only difference was that they simply couldn’t speak the language of humans.
Especially the youngest, Zi Yun, as it was the most intelligent. At the same time, it was also particularly powerful. After just reaching one meter long, it decided to flap its wings and run out the village. It came back after shredding a few tiger wolves, leaving the villagers stupefied.
“Little Zi, come quick.” Shi Hao ran in front and Zi Yun eagerly chased from behind. This made all the other children very envious. This mystical sparrow was extra amiable towards the little guy.
“Chirp, Chirp!” Zi Yun ran towards the front, using a scaly wing to help the little guy massage his back. It’s very hard to associate this with the behavior of a vicious Green Scaled Eagle.
“What a suck-up, isn’t it just because the little guy is teaching you Bone Text?!” A group of kids angrily pouted.
The little guy took another approach, and insisted on teaching the three Green Scaled Eagles the Bone Text researched by humans. This mutated Zi Yun was actually very enthusiastic in learning; it was smarter than humans and gradually became increasingly close.
Xiu!
The little guy raised his arms, and the symbols on them lit up. Both arms were covered densely in a net-like pattern, and they were brilliant and resplendent. After pointing in a direction, a small scarlet sparrow flew toward a large tree trunk and instantly burned it.
Pa, Pa!
Zi Yun used both wings to clap, letting out a Pa sound, as if it was applauding. A pair of large vivid eyes blinked, incessantly chirping and expressing his excitement.
“Wa, this little bird is so refined. Only a month old, and it knows this much already. Much stronger than a month old human. ” A group of kids shouted.
Kengchi kengchi. The other two Green Scaled Eagles Da Peng and Xiao Qing also ran close, head-butting the little guy. Wise vicious beasts thirsted for power much more than humans, especially after learning that these Bone Texts could help accelerate their growth.
In these past few days, the little guy Shi Hao also gained a lot. Because the Green Scaled Eagles were descendants of the Archaic beasts, their bodies naturally contained tons of precious bones and shockingly powerful mysterious symbols. He was constantly observing them.
These ancient and precious bones gave birth to powerful and mysterious patterns exclusive to one type of species. The stronger the archaic descendants were, the stronger their desire to hoard the power of their own mysterious symbols became as well. Otherwise, others would use all their strength to try and gain these powers. These three hatchlings were special and they were raised by the villagers, so they were much rarer than primitive mysterious symbols. Their symbols far surpassed that of an ordinary human-researched bone text, and to not spread out the secret, they were only called treasured symbols.
It’s possible that these types of mysterious symbols were comparable to a strong man-made bone scripture, but all creatures with natural-born mysterious symbols were extraordinary.
Stone Village’s two ancestral artifacts were both made from the carcasses of two super high-leveled archaic descendants. Only after undergoing some polishing and smelting did they become the treasures they are now.
During this period, Shi Hao always hung out with the three hatchlings and was able to break through a few barriers. Chief Shi Yunfeng was also very happy that they were always together.
Especially Zi Yun, as he underwent the phenomenon of Ancestral Inheritance. Even if it only inherited a small part of the original Archaic devil bird’s imprint, it was still extremely terrifying and had an astonishing amount of prospect. The mysterious symbols in its body would definitely be worthy enough to be called a “Mysterious Bone Scripture.”
If this news got out, this would definitely arouse the other tribes’ temptations.
At dawn, a red sun rose from within the fog, and a soft and comforting light spread out. The mist in the mountains began to develop a red hue as it flowed ever so slowly.
The air was very fresh, and dewdrops tumbled along the grass and vines. A group of robust males were planning to once again leave Stone Village to go hunting.
“Uncle, you have to be careful in the mountains.” The little guy Shi Hao was leading the three hatchlings in making noise as he eagerly ran to send them off. He raised his little face that had two bright eyes, and sent his regards to them one by one. He went to bed early and rose up early as well.
The robust males laughed heartily. They came towards him and pinched his little face that was blushing like a big apple before heading off towards the mountains with big steps.
“Little Zi let me see again, what exactly is happening with the mysterious symbols forming within your body. I still don’t really understand.”
After the event, the little guy extended his white and tender hands and intimately embraced Zi Yun’s neck. It made it rather relaxed, exposing the treasured bone’s imprints so that he could easily look around.
“Chirp, Chirp….” Da Peng was a bit discontent, and so it scooted over while head-butted his palm.
“Da Peng stop that, I’ll examine your mysterious symbols afterwards, Xiao Qing I’ll help you catch a fish later as well. Don’t disturb us right now.” The little guy embraced their necks in a similar fashion to appease them.
In reality, the three hatchlings were a head taller than Shi Hao right now. Whether it was the past or present, he was always the little guy in the village.
“WOW, so this is how it works, it’s so complicated similar to constellations.” The little guy looked at the mysterious symbols that appeared on the surface of Zi Yun’s treasured bone. His eyes were wide open and he finally understood much more.
“Chirp chirp!”
Da Peng and Xiao Qing were also quite curious and looked at the mysterious symbols on their brother’s body. Their eyes never blinked, and it was almost like they wanted to memorize and work hard to digest all the information in their head.
“Da Peng, Xiao Qing, let me look at your treasured symbols.” The little guy turned around and put his attention on the other two Green Scaled Eagles.
He unceasingly felt about while making contact with their treasured bones. Sparkling light emerged and mysterious symbols formed, and even their scales were adorned in a splendid fashion.
The little guy pondered deeply, perfecting what he acquired over many days and then shut his eyes and muttered: “So it’s like this, complicated mysterious patterns interweaved like so. Evolving and shining, the mysterious strength would emerge forth…..”
Xiu!
The little guy’s left hand lit up a bit, and a glistening crescent moon rushed out and rapidly flew towards the distance. It snapped a towering tree right in half, and the tree fell to the floor, rumbling and filling the air with dust.
“Wa! The little guy succeeded. He succeeded in studying the Green Scaled Eagle’s innate skills. That’s their treasured symbol right there, so strong!” Not far away, a group of kids saw and were instantly alarmed.
“Stop talking!” The chief appeared. Naturally all this commotion made him appear, and had to shut all the kids up so that they did not disturb Shi Hao who had gained a sudden insight and was currently pondering.
“Little Zi, let me see again. I pretty much understood the imprints from Da Peng and Xiao Qing.” Shi Hao held Zi Yun’s neck, eyes bright as if he suddenly understood so much more.
Zi Yun let out a long chirp and his revealed his brilliant splendor on his body appearing divine. Although it was still young, it already gave off an atmosphere that was high and mighty, moving the hearts of the villagers.
Mysterious and complicated, the ever-changing mysterious symbols on the surface made its purple scales appear sparkling and translucent. It was extremely magnificent!
The little guy’s eyes shined brightly, and as if they were shining jewels, he stared at the treasured symbols. After a long while, he raised an arm. A burning light was moving on his arm and rushed into his palm before shooting out.
Qiang!
That light shot out like an unsheathed sword and made a metallic sound. A divine and bright disked moon flew out. It was embedded in a huge 56 meter tall boulder as it spun in place. Kacha! That huge boulder was instantly cut in half.
The cut was smooth, and after a rumble, the top half of the boulder weighing over a thousand jin fell to the floor. Rubble flew up and dust rose.
In the distance, the group of people who were watching became petrified. How strong was this power? A bright disk-like moon was able to chop straight through a boulder that was as hard as metal, completely startling everyone.
“Such an incredibly strong mysterious symbol! This purple hatchling indeed inherited the archaic devil bird’s imprint fragments, once again proving that fact.” Chief Shi Yunfeng emotionally said. “The little guy really is formidable. After only a month, he was unexpectedly able to feel out this ancient treasured symbols’ secrets. How shockingly talented!”
Zi Yun, Da Peng and Xiao Qing were all surprised. They were all young, and still couldn’t activate their innate symbols’ strength yet. They were all excited after seeing the result.
“Grandpa chief, I think I understand.” The little guy’s eyes lit up and happily yelled out.
Shi Yunfeng quickly came over, complimenting and said: “The primitive symbols you just used, it absolutely could be called ‘Mysterious Bone Scripture’. It is extremely rare and powerful beyond belief. Don’t use it unless you absolutely have to.”
The little guy blinked his big eyes before scratching his head and asking, “How strong can it be? It’s not even perfect yet, I feel like a tree and a palace should appear on that disk-like moon, but I can’t do that yet.”
“At the very least, right now you should be as strong as your uncle Linghu and Feijiao, ‘Mysterious Bone Scripture’ is a treasure that all tribes absolutely desired.” The chief solemnly said.
The little guy acknowledged it and consciously nodded, and then giggled innocently. Today, he trained relentlessly and was a step closer to perfection. Even the chief was in admiration, unable to be of any help.
At sundown, the horizon was doused in red, and the group of hunters returned. There weren’t that much prey and there were also people being carried home.
“What’s going on, what happened?” The villagers rushed out nervously.
“Relax, no one lost their life, but Pi Hou’s father suffered heavy injuries. He was shot near the liver by an arrow. ” Shi Linghu showed an ugly face.
“How’d this happen?” A few elders appeared and inquired.
“It was caused by the Wolf Village ten li 2 out. We haven’t seen a trace of them in half a year. We don’t know the reason why, but they came into our hunting area and fought over our prey and almost shot Pi Hou’s father dead.”
