Chapter 137: Golden Crow Pregnant with Egg and Fetus, Rejecting Fairy Ning

He used all his strength and finally caught up with him.

But the man and the bird had already reached the sky above Kuxiu Mountain, and the tribesmen below were very close.

Fortunately, Chen Qing acted quite quickly. At this time, the tribesmen on the mountain had already arrived at the foot of the mountain under his organization.

"That's the Golden Crow Bird!"

"What a handsome bird! Much better than the black jade chicken I raised."

"Hurry up and run, or your chicken will become a roast chicken."

The Chen family members left the foot of the mountain in an orderly manner and headed towards the Black Wind Market.

Seeing that his tribesmen had escaped danger, Chen An also breathed a sigh of relief. There was a third-order formation for protection on the mountain. If the bird was just passing by, the slight flames coming out of its body should not cause much harm.

Just as he was thinking this, he saw the golden crow chirping happily and then diving into the Kuxiu Mountain.

It lightly grabbed with one of its sharp claws, and the third-level formation shield was instantly annihilated like a bubble.

"Oh no! This beast actually went to the North Mountain Spiritual Farm!"

Chen An looked at the direction where the other party was landing, his face turned dark, and he hurried forward to stop it.

But when he arrived, it was already too late. The Golden Crow Bird landed in the spiritual field and, with a roar, swallowed up the Golden Crow grass that he had spent several months cultivating and was almost a thousand years old.

He still felt it was not enough, so he swallowed several plants of golden crow grass of considerable age before stopping.

Perhaps because they often absorb the essence of the sun, the other Golden Crow grasses were not affected by the flames all over the Golden Crow's body. Instead, under the cover of the rolling true fire of the sun, they slowly absorbed the escaping true fire aura.

But other spiritual plants were in trouble. The fourth-level spiritual plants were fine for the time being, but most of the other third-level spiritual plants looked wilted and they would probably not be able to hold on for too long before they would completely die.

"Get out of here now!"

Chen An's face stretched, and a slender blood shadow flashed out of his body, floating in the air above the North Mountain.

The sound rang out, and the melodious sound of the flute was heard on the Kuxiu Mountain.

"Gah!"

When the Golden Crow Bird heard the sound, it let out a shrill scream, and golden plasma immediately gushed out of the wound on its abdomen. Even the flames on its body weakened a little, but it did not collapse to the ground like the Blood Crocodile before. Instead, it remained strong.

It glared at Chen An fiercely, seeming unhappy, then flapped its wings twice, flew behind a huge rock in the north mountain, and lay on the ground to slowly digest the power of the Golden Crow Herb.

Chen An was speechless. When he was thinking about whether to continue to drive the other party away, he felt the temperature of Beishan suddenly drop.

Looking up, I saw that the Golden Crow had retracted its flames at some point and returned to normal.

Before long, Kuxiu Mountain regained its former coolness.

Chen An finally understood. It turned out that the Golden Crow Bird had taken a fancy to the Golden Crow Grass he cultivated and was using it to recover from its injuries.

After comparing the strength of the two parties, he found that he was not completely sure of defeating them. After all, there was a whole realm gap between the two.

But since the bird is seriously injured, we can still deal with it with the help of the Blood Sea Flute.

"I just injured it, but it didn't fight back. This means it has no ill intentions and is only here for the Golden Crow Grass."

Chen An analyzed the situation briefly and felt a little relieved. However, he could not be completely at ease with such a god staying in Kuxiu Mountain. Who knew if the god would eat humans after eating the Golden Crow Grass?

After hesitating for a while beside the spiritual field, he simply walked forward and came to the side of the huge rock.

At this time, the Golden Crow Bird closed its eyes and breathed evenly, as if it had fallen asleep.

Such a big heart!
Maybe it also felt that Chen An posed no threat to it.

"Senior Jinwu, my temple is small and has few spiritual plants. Why don't you go to the Black Wind Mountains? There are many kinds of spiritual plants there and they are old. There will definitely be enough for you to have a good meal."

Chen An reminded cautiously, trying to get the other party to change their position.

But the Golden Crow was still sleeping, seemingly ignoring his intentions.

"Oh, what's this?"

He called out several times but there was no response. He had no choice but to leave silently.

He had not taken a few steps when a gentle and clear voice brushed across his heart: "I will lend you my spiritual plant for use. I will definitely repay you later. Don't worry, I will leave as soon as my injury heals."

Chen An stopped in his tracks when he heard the voice. Since the other party had asked him for a favor, he probably had no ill intentions.

After all, with his fifth-level cultivation, he could still plunder even if he was injured.

Only now did he feel completely relieved and turned back out of Beishan. To prevent any accidents from happening, he asked Chen Qing and others outside the mountain to go to the Black Wind Market to take shelter temporarily and come back after the matter here was settled.

The monks of the Chen family naturally left obediently. Led by Chen Qing, they went straight to the market town.

Among all the people, only Chen Shuang and Heimaohu stood on Chen An's left and right, reluctant to leave.

"I'm about to form a pill, I want to stay here and continue practicing."

Chen Shuang glanced at Chen An secretly and said timidly.

"This is nonsense."

Chen An had a straight face and pretended to be serious: "Hurry up and take the black-haired beast with you and follow Chen Qing to the market. We won't have the time to practice for a while."

The girl obviously wanted to stay and accompany him, but with a monster lying here, he didn't want any accidents to happen, so he could only refuse sternly.

"I got it." Chen Shuang pouted and turned away reluctantly.

At this moment, that gentle and clear voice reappeared in Chen An's heart: "Let this little girl stay, it's just right for her to keep me company."

Hearing this, Chen An was quite surprised and couldn't help but glance towards the huge rock on the north mountain.

But since the other party had spoken, even though he was confused, it was not easy for him to refuse, so he immediately called back Chen Shuang who had already walked some distance away.

Since Chen An and Chen Shuang are both here, the black-haired beast, who is usually closest to them, will naturally not leave on its own.

Ignoring the other party's cheers, Chen An told her to go to the spiritual field to practice, then took out a jade bottle and walked silently to the place where the Golden Crow had just devoured the spiritual herbs.

On the spiritual field, there was a pool of golden blood. It was the pool of blood that flowed out of the wound of the Golden Crow Bird when the Blood Sea Flute was activated just now.

The divine bird is full of treasures, even its blood is no exception. When used to assist in the cultivation of the Great Sun Golden Flame, its effect is no worse than that of the Golden Crow Grass.

"Hmm? Why is there a chilling aura in this blood?"

When Chen An put the pool of blood into the jade bottle, he observed it closely and found something unusual.

If you think about it carefully, this is not surprising. It is probably the remnants of the person who injured the Golden Crow Bird in its body, otherwise the bird would not look for the Golden Crow Grass to heal its wounds.

However, as long as the cold and gloomy aura inside is slowly dissipated, this small bottle of blood will naturally return to normal.

"Strange, why is there no movement on the mountain? Even the formation is gone!"

Without the obstruction of the formation, Chen Zhan came all the way to Beishan. Seeing Chen An here, he hurried over. Looking at the empty Kuxiu Mountain, he looked ashen and his eyes were red: "Elder, the rest of the tribe, could it be..."

"Don't overthink it. It was thanks to you that you sent the message in time that we had time to move our people to the Black Wind Market, so no casualties occurred."

Seeing that Chen Zhan had completed the second stage of physical training and could break through to the third stage at any time, Chen An was satisfied with his progress.

"I see."

Chen Zhan also breathed a sigh of relief. He looked around and asked, "Where's the bird?"

Chen An pointed to a huge rock on the north mountain and gestured.

The Golden Crow Bird was sleeping, but its aura had not been completely restrained. Chen Zhan sensed it a little and discovered the familiar burning aura behind the boulder.

"It hasn't left yet?!"

"Okay, don't worry about it. Just settle down in Beishan first. If you are afraid, you can go to the Black Wind Market."

Chen Zhan straightened his chest and forced a smile, "You are here, what do I have to be afraid of?"

Afterwards, after listening to Chen Zhan’s story about his experiences over the years, Chen An turned around and came to the spiritual field.

Jinwu was very scared just now. Even though no spiritual plants died here, they had to be rescued in time, otherwise it would affect their future growth to some extent.

Suddenly, the magic power in Chen An's body surged, lingering around his body, slowly forming a small whirlwind.

As the wind rose into the air, its range became larger and larger, and its force became stronger and stronger, until it rose into the clouds, stirring up the wandering clouds in the sky, and then gathering them into a large ball.

The water vapor and spiritual energy outside the Kuxiu Mountain also swarmed in and seeped into the clouds. The noise was no less than that of a cultivator forming a pill.

However, in just a short while, a large group of dark clouds gathered over Kuxiu Mountain, as dark as an army approaching.

Then, raindrops as big as beans fell down, moistening the spiritual fields that had just been baked, as well as the Kuxiu Mountain that had been suffering from drought for a long time.

After a long drought, the rain made a rustling sound, and it seemed as if all the spiritual plants in the spiritual field seemed to be happy.

The spiritual water in the pool slowly filled up, gradually flooding a wetland beside the pool that Chen An had just reclaimed.

This small piece of wetland is the mixed mud obtained from the old crocodile, on which are planted the seeds of Nine-Wheel Wind Grass. After being nourished for a period of time, the spiritual plants have gradually sprouted. If they are ripened again using the Soul-Snatching Technique, they will be able to break out of the mud.

At this time, outside the spiritual field, Chen Zhan didn't realize until he was soaked all over that the heavy rain was spiritual rain.

"This rainwater is comparable to third-level spiritual water! Hahahaha, I'm rich!"

Chen Zhan reacted and hurriedly took out all the utensils on his body and connected them one by one on the open space in Beishan.

Only after he had received a lot of money did he put it away, with a smile on his face like a local rich man.

Chen An walked out of the spiritual field, looked at his appearance, and poured a basin of cold water on him: "This is indeed third-level spiritual water, but it contains many impurities that are harmful to the human body and cannot be directly absorbed. Most of it can only be used to water spiritual plants."

The Wind and Rain Calling Technique absorbed all the water vapor and spiritual energy in the surrounding area without filtering it, so there were quite a few impurities in it.

"Ah? So it's worthless?" Chen Zhan was like a deflated ball, listless.

"That's not the case. It's still worth some money. If you have the ability to purify it, it will be worth a lot."

Chen An could easily purify it relying on his strong magic power, but he didn't want to care about these details. He turned around and walked into the cave without paying any more attention.

Practicing every day and studying the Golden Flame of the Sun makes me feel comfortable.

Occasionally seeing Chen Shuang entering behind a boulder with a mysterious look on his face, Chen An, out of curiosity, quietly released his spiritual sense to check, but found a powerful layer of magical restriction blocking him, preventing him from penetrating even an inch.

At first, he thought that Jinwu wanted Chen Shuang to help him pick the Jinwu grass, but in the blink of an eye he saw Chen Shuang walking out with a smile on his face, and seemed quite excited. Chen An was puzzled for a moment.

Later, after Chen Shuang's quiet reminder, Chen An finally learned that the female Golden Crow was pregnant with a little Golden Crow, and had been injured in the previous fight and was not easy to recover, so she asked Chen Shuang, a female cultivator, to go and help.

"No wonder her breath has been unstable. It turns out that she is nurturing the Golden Crow Egg."

Chen An suddenly realized something and no longer cared about the situation over there.

Generally, childbirth for high-level demons will affect their own strength. If they successfully give birth to a little Golden Crow, their realm will most likely drop temporarily. Even if a conflict arises at that time, he will not be afraid of the other party.

Time flies, and almost a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

In recent times, the amount of Golden Crow grass in Chen An's spiritual field has become less and less, and the Golden Crow's aura has become more and more unstable, sometimes at the third level and sometimes at the fifth level, fluctuating.

Chen An also guessed in his mind that it was probably about to lay eggs.

I just don't know how many eggs can be laid in one nest and how they taste.
Moreover, when the other party left, should he ask for some blood from her to assist her in practicing the Great Sun Golden Flame?
Chen An felt it was not easy to say it. If all else failed, he could just pluck some feathers. He couldn't let so many Golden Crow grasses die in vain.

"Wang!"

The black-haired beast hurried in, and its cry interrupted Chen An's thoughts.

"Is there a woman looking for me?"

Chen An released his spiritual sense to scan and found a beautiful figure standing outside Kuxiu Mountain. It was Ning Jianqin who came alone.

"I don't have much interaction with the other party. Could it be that she is here for her husband?"

Chen An pondered for a moment, then walked out of the cave and came to the outside of the mountain. After all, there was a fifth-level monster hiding in the mountain, and he couldn't let the monster go up the mountain.

"Fellow Daoist Ning, how come you have time to come to my mountain of hard training?"

"I am sorry for the humiliation. How dare this junior be worthy of the title of 'Daoist friend'?" Ning Jianqin said hurriedly with a serious face.

The two exchanged a few pleasantries. Perhaps because the situation was critical or Ning Jianqin was simply straightforward, she went straight to the topic of her visit.

"I have already found out from many sources that my husband Zou Ang is still trapped in the hands of the evil woman of the Five Poison Sect and is suffering from physical and mental torture. I came here to beg you to help me save my husband!"

Ning Jianqin's eyes were filled with tears and she looked pitiful as she bowed to Chen Anying.

"save?"

Chen An was immediately amused: "Fairy Ning, you are joking. Ancestor Lihuo's cultivation is higher than mine. Maybe you can try to find him."

He felt that the other party was completely fanciful. The Five Poison Sect was in the heart of the evil world, and the Five Poison Demon Woman was in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. How could he risk his life to save her?
"Don't refuse yet, just listen to me."

Ning Jianqin paused and continued, "The founder of the Five Poison Sect was originally from Nanzhou. There are already countless connections between the two. Recently, for some unknown reason, the Five Poison Demon Woman plans to leave the heartland of the Demon Sect and return to Nanzhou. This is a great opportunity to rescue my husband!"

"And I have already contacted the Lihuo Patriarch and a senior from Dongzhou who is in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. With your help, the three of us will definitely be able to kill this evil woman and rescue my husband!"

After she finished speaking, she took out a green crystal, which was shrouded in a hazy light and looked like a dream.

"This is the Nascent Soul-level spiritual material, the Dream Crystal. I would like to use this as a reward and ask Senior to help me!"

Chen An's eyes narrowed slightly. The Dream Crystal is one of the necessary spiritual objects for building a large teleportation array.

Whether it is to build a teleportation array leading to the heart of Dongzhou, or to go to the continent mentioned by Crocodile Ancestor in the future, this item is indispensable.
