Chapter 181
Thanks to the fire yuan fruit, Jiang Chen was more confident about leaving the Realm of Beasts.
It suddenly dawned on him why others thought people in the Mental Wander State couldn’t leave here. There were two reasons.
First, people in the Mental Wander State couldn’t fly, so they wouldn’t be able to continue the journey when they encountered a natural barrier.
Second, they couldn’t take in the spirit of universe, which would ultimately be fatal, but these two things weren’t problems for Jiang Chen. Especially since by then, even Whitty could fly. They had a much greater chance to walk out of there than others.
He kept his optimism until they ran into a natural, deep chasm.
It was a river, shrouded in mist.
Jiang Chen didn’t think it a big deal in the beginning. He was going to fly over it, but as soon as he went into the mist, he sensed a great danger. He and Whitty hurried to land on the ground out of fear.
“We aren’t bad people. We only want to get to the opposite bank.” Jiang Chen took out more fruits when he saw it was working.
Pah!
With a crunch, the sky-swallow bird’s body changed. It seemed that it had disappeared.
Jiang Chen knew it was shapeshifting.
Since it had ancient blood, it could shapeshift between the form of a bird and the form of a fish. What Jiang Chen and Whitty had been confronting was a half-fish half-bird hybrid.
Just then, it morphed into a holy bird with wide and long wings and a slim body. It was emitting a blue radiance, looking noble and elegant.
The sky-swallow flew over. It stared at the fire yuan fruits in Jiang Chen’s hand and was hostile towards Whitty.
Grrr! Whitty didn’t want to be outdone, so it showed the holy bird its teeth and howled to scare it.
“Don’t you want to live?”
Jiang Chen hurried to give Whitty a pat on its head when he saw the sky-swallow was going to change back.
Purr! Whitty thought it was unfair. It hadn’t had any advantages when it was confronting the bird, instead driven away helter-skelter.
Jiang Chen threw the fire yuan fruits over. The sky-swallow caught them in its mouth. The fruits melted quickly, the juice flowing down its throat like water, then it warbled joyfully and whirled around Jiang Chen asking for more.
Jiang Chen gave it more. At the same time, he entered the mist. The bird didn’t stop him.
When he had almost arrived at the opposite bank, the sky-swallow suddenly shrieked and stopped Jiang Chen and Whitty.
Jiang Chen was shocked. He had given it half of the fire yuan fruits he had. Was the bird going back on their implicit agreement?
But to his surprise, the bird cut its own skin with its sharp beak and threw its golden blood to Jiang Chen.
The blood essence?!
Jiang Chen was pleasantly surprised. He hadn’t expected the sky-swallow bird to be so chivalrous that it even paid him back.
A holy-level monster’s blood essence was worth far more than all of Jiang Chen’s fire yuan fruits, and he had only given it half of them.
The sky-swallow left and returned to the mist when it saw Jiang Chen catch the blood.
“See? Violence can’t resolve every problem.”
The crisis was averted and he had received an unexpected gift. Jiang Chen felt great.
Whitty rolled its eyes, as if saying, “If you had done this earlier, we wouldn’t have been wounded.”
