Chapter 13: Big Angry Birds


    It was another fine-weathered day. The fiery sunlight prated theyers of dense branches and leaves, casting splotches of mottled light.


    The cool breeze in the forest brought fresh oxygen, soothing the living creatures that were feeling hot and dry.


    Like a ko, Shu Jintian hugged a towering tree that was thick enough for three people to wrap their arms around, his feet treading on the branches sticking out of the tree trunk as he crawled upwards at a tortoises pace.


    Large drops of sweat excreted from his skin, tumbling down. Shu Jintian was so hot his head was covered in sweat and his cheeks were flushed.


    Ive finally climbed up. Its so hot Im about to die.


    Shu Jintian sat on a branch at the peak of the big tree, one hand supporting himself with a nearby branch to maintain his bnce. Looking at a birds nest the size of a babys cradle, his smile was so wide his incisors were visible.


    There were three pomelo-sized bird eggs lying in the center of the birds nest. He had bitterly climbed up the unimaginably tall tree just for this birds nest. Seeing that there were eggs as expected, he felt that his hardship was worth it.


    Fuck, he could finally have a change in vour. Alternating between roasted meat or fruits every day, his tongue was about to be tasteless. Having an egg for a meal just so happened to satisfy his cravings.


    Shu Hanyuzily wrapped around a lower part of the tree, asionally taking a look at the female.


    Today he had brought him out to have some fresh air. When they passed by this ce, the female suddenly wanted to go up the tree. Seeing that the females behaviour in the past two days was good, he had magnanimously allowed it. The female shouldnt be trapped indoors like this every day, so let him y if he wants to <i>ba</i>.


    To Shu Hanyu, climbing up trees was incredibly easy, and to him it was as natural as walking on the ground.


    Since he allowed the female to y, Shu Hanyu did not n to help him, even though the females tree climbing speed was unbearable for him to watch.


    Shu Jintian picked up a bird egg. It was quite heavy.


    He was somewhat at a loss now. He got his hands on the bird eggs, but how should he bring it down <i>ne</i>?


    Bowing his head to look below, gazing down at theyers andyers of branches crisscrossing from above brought about a dizzying feeling.


    Sometimes the peak trunk would sway and Shu Jintian would have the misperception that the treetop would be snapped by his weight.


    Going down by himself was already challenging his heart enough, but to bring along three inconceivablyrge bird eggs really was a pain in the ass.Hanyu, I cant go down, can youe get me?


    If he didnt have no other choice, Shu Jintian wouldnt have asked the big snake for help.


    Shu Hanyu raised his head to look at the female and was about to move when he heard a sharp bird crying from the skies.


    High in the skies, there were tworge and bright-coloured birds furiously chirping. It was the carnivorous bird species, zing Bird.


    These two birds were over a meter long, their bodies entirely glossy and shiny, and presented a gorgeous tint under the sunlight. Their golden beaks were hard and sharp, and their golden ws were also slender and long. Currently, they were hooked like an eagles w, able to deliver fatal attacks to their opponent any time.


    The zing Birds pped their golden wings and quickly and violently rushed at the treetop.


    Shu Hanyu was startled and heard the female let out a cry of rm. He immediately bolted upwards.


    <i>Damned zing Birds, daring to harm his female, he definitely had to eat them.</i>


    Thisrge tree was 100 meters tall. Though Shu Hanyu was burning with anxiety, it was still impossible for him to immediately arrive at the females side.


    Shu Jintian was staring downwards with dizzy eyes when he suddenly heard two sharp cries from behind him, practically piercing through his eardrums. He quickly turned his head back and immediately spotted two enormous birds angrily flying towards him, reaching him in an instant.


    Shu Jintian was startled and hastily leaned back, dangerously avoiding the birds strong attack.


    Seeing its attack fail, the zing Bird immediately turned around and steadied its body. The other rushed forward again, not giving Shu Jintian a moment to breathe.


    Shu Jintian quickly got up, his hand swatting at thatrge birds neck. The big birds powerful body was still very efficient even in the air and only deviated away from its original course from his strike, missing Shu Jintians direction and gliding a few meters.


    Before Shu Jintian could steady his slightly off-bnce body, he heard the whistling sound of wind behind him. Without much time to react, Shu Jintian instinctively ducked down and blocked with his right hand.


    His arm had a sharp pain, then his waist was also shed by its ws. Shu Jintian took a firm grasp on the w that was still on his body. With his tug, the ws still hooked on his body tore down two strips of cloth and even some flesh.


    Shun Jintian bore the pain and firmly pulled the w, forcefully mming it onto the tree.


    The valiant zing Bird was only smashed by Shu Jintian, and had thrown off his hand in the next second. It did not sustain any injuries; instead, it was infuriated by Shu Jintian and pounced on him with greater violence.


    Shu Jintians breathing stuttered and he slid down the tree trunk in a terrible state, narrowly avoiding the zing Beasts attack.


    When Shu Jintian slid down, he spotted therge birds nest out of the corner of his eye.


    Shu Jintians eyes brightened. The bird eggs were their weak points, he could use it to save himself.


    But the downward slide he just did had resulted in him being further away from the nest. Now, if he wanted to grab the eggs, he would need to climb back up again.


    The two zing Birds rushed at Shu Jintian simultaneously. This time, Shu Jintian was much calmer. Right when therge birds reached him, he shifted sideways and seized the chance to catch one of the birds ws, dragging it and using all his might to swing at the other bird.


    This time, because it was two live birds crashing together, their movements mutually affected each other and messed up their flight. They became momentarily unbnced.


    Shu Jintian took advantage of this moment to climb upwards. Finally, before the big birds attacked him, he arrived at the nest.


    When the zing Birds steadied themselves and saw this female unexpectedlying to their nest, they were incredibly frightened and rushed at Shu Jintian with a cry.


    Shu Jintian promptly took out a bird egg and held it against his chest, attempting to threaten the big birds.


    However, Shu Jintian had ended up overestimating the birds intelligence. When the zing Birds saw him taking their eggs, they were even more enraged. Not only did they not stop, they charged forward even more fiercely instead.


    Shu Jintian was shocked; the birds had already arrived before him and it was toote for him to dodge. Raising the egg, he threw it out.


    The zing Bird close enough to reach his eyes immediately turned around and dove towards the egg.


    Hu~ Shu Jintian sighed in relief. However, before he could catch his breath, the other zing Bird had rushed over.


    Shu Jintian hastily picked up another egg and right when the zing Birds beak pricked his front, he flung it out.


    As a result, the other bird also went down after the egg.


    Shu Jintian feebly panted heavily against the tree, his clothes torn into tatters and the wounds from the w scratches trickled out blood, staining his white long-sleeved t-shirt.


    Shu Hanyu swiftly slithered up and saw this exact scene. The female weakly leaned against the tree trunk, unmoving; his body blood-red all over, the bloody scent steadily dispersing from his body. It was a very sweet and fragrant scent, but Shu Hanyu only felt a fit of unprecedented anger.


    His snake body hooked around the females body and brought him to his side. The female who had always rejected him was obediently sticking against him right now, panting powerlessly.


    He himself wasnt willing to be so heavy-handed against his own female. Yet, his female was unexpectedly bullied like this by other animals; that was simply unforgivable.


    The two zing Birds chased after their eggies, impatiently using their beaks to bite at it. The overlyrge eggs couldnt be firmly taken hold of, and were pierced by the hard beaks, losing their lives before they could touch the earths embrace.


    Failing to save their children, the zing Birds let out a sad, shrill cry.


    The zing Bird that lost their children turned around and barreled towards the treetop with incensed eyes.
