Chapter 567: Chapter 567 The Vengeful Golden Goose, The Invincible Iron Beak
“Ziling… oh, I know her!” Long Yuanqing recalled something, “Is she the beautiful girl with purple hair that was taken away by Sect Master Ye?”
“Yes, it’s her,” Huo Yunjie nodded.
Baixue Ding and Lin Yuyan both remained silent, choosing to be qualified listeners.
The two women glanced at each other, quickly diverted their gazes, and then curiously observed this world.
“The Three Thousand Realms is a mysterious ancient secret realm; its essence is a large Cave Heaven World that spans hundreds of miles, containing three thousand small and medium-sized Cave Heaven Worlds within it, collectively referred to as the Three Thousand Realms.”
Long Yuanqing was very familiar with this place.
He could tell that Huo Yunjie and the others were very interested in it, so he took the initiative to introduce them to the area.
“We’re here to go to Divine Island this time, so where is Divine Island located in the Cave Heaven Worlds?” Huo Yunjie inquired.
“Divine Island is an island that appears randomly in any Cave Heaven World, not in a fixed location,” Long Yuanqing explained.
Huo Yunjie was surprised and said,
“So it has teleportation capabilities; that’s really amazing.”
Lin Yuyan, gathering her courage, asked, “Senior Long Yuanqing, since Divine Island teleports randomly, doesn’t that mean it would take a lot of time to find it?”
“Haha, not at all,” Long Yuanqing shook his head.
At this point, a strapping man came out.
This man was Long Feng.
He was holding a flower pot.
In the pot grew a Spirit Grass that resembled aloe, but it was bifurcated straight down the middle and glowed at the cut, emitting a strange, pungent fragrance.
“With Twin Spirit Grass, locating Divine Island is quite fast,” Long Feng said.
Last time in the Three Thousand Realms, he suffered severe injuries, but by now, he had fully recovered and was full of vigor.
Huo Yunjie and his companions looked at the Twin Spirit Grass with curiosity.
Long Yuanqing explained, “The other part of the Twin Spirit Grass grows on Divine Island, and they attract each other. By following its guidance, we can quickly determine the direction of Divine Island.”
“Over there!”
Following the Twin Spirit Grass’s guidance, Long Feng immediately made a judgement and flew towards the distance, holding the flower pot.
The others swiftly followed.
An hour later.
The group arrived at a Misty Area.
This place had a Floating Island with a rocky core suspended in the air.
“This is Divine Island,”
Leading everyone onto Divine Island, Long Yuanqing pointed to the medicinal field filled with large, red, bizarre Bizarre Spirit Fruits and said, “These are Bizarre Spirit Fruits, those that have just started to turn red are beginning to ripen, only when they are fully red can they be harvested.”
“Yes.”
The cultivators from the Dragonfolk Clan nodded in agreement.
They also understood the disadvantages of overfishing and overhunting and knew that to have a sustainable supply of Bizarre Spirit Fruits, they had to respect the rules.
For example:
Only harvest the ripe ones.
The unripe ones should be left for the next harvest, and moreover, strictly protect the saplings of the Bizarre Spirit Fruit trees and do not damage them.
Before leaving, they also need to take water from the Spiritual Spring to irrigate and ensure the healthy growth of the Bizarre Spirit Fruit trees.
“Wow, these Bizarre Spirit Fruits really do look nice,”
Lin Yuyan picked a large, red, ripe Bizarre Spirit Fruit and placed it in her basket.
Baixue Ding remained silently wordless.
However, she also carried a bamboo basket to harvest the fruits, occasionally stealing glances at Huo Yunjie nearby.
“Actually, things are pretty good right now,” Baixue Ding thought to herself.
In the past, Huo Yunjie barely acknowledged her presence, but now, she was able to stay by his side without being shooed away, which was a significant improvement.
She felt that there was still a chance to mend her relationship with Huo Yunjie.
The prerequisite was to maintain it with care.
The group continued to harvest the ripe Bizarre Spirit Fruits.
They hadn’t noticed that on the edge of Divine Island, there was a wall covered in “zheng” characters.
And behind the wall lay a golden fat goose.
“(⊙o⊙)!”
The fat goose roused from its stupor, hearing the laughter and conversation on Divine Island, and immediately made this expression.
“Damn it, it’s those thieves again!”
“`
The golden, fat goose flapped its wings but only managed to stir up a gale, unable to take flight.
It jumped with all its might and perched on a wall inscribed with the character “Justice,” looking down upon the dozen or so people present.
“You thieves, how dare you steal the bizarre spirit fruits of this seat, so detestable, goose, goose, goose!”
The golden, fat goose spoke in human tongue.
Its voice resembled that of a drake, strong and penetrating, instantly capturing the attention of everyone present.
“Eh!”
“Why is there a golden duck here?”
“Idiot, this is a goose!”
“Should we catch and stew it?”
Members of the Dragonfolk Clan like Long Yuanqing and Long Feng whispered among themselves, not taking the sudden appearance of the golden, fat goose seriously at all.
“How audacious!”
The golden, fat goose was seething with anger.
It was bad enough that these people had stolen its spirit fruits, but calling it a duck and even contemplating cooking it was unforgivable and infuriating!
“Witness the grandeur of my Roc’s mighty wingspan!”
With a roar, the golden, fat goose kicked off the ground and spread its wings, aiming to bite Long Feng’s buttocks.
It was he who had suggested stewing the golden, fat goose just moments before.
However, due to years of lack of exercise and too much sleeping, the golden, fat goose was far too hefty to fly or jump far.
The next moment.
In the astonished gazes of all, the golden, fat goose, halfway into its attempted flight, plummeted rapidly, its wings flapping wildly to no avail, and it dived headfirst into the soft-soiled medicinal field.
“Ah ah ah…”
The golden, fat goose’s head was buried in the dirt, its body inverted; its thick webbed feet and wings flailed madly, kicking up a thick cloud of dust.
“Pfft!”
The crowd burst into laughter.
So this golden, fat goose could talk, but seemed to have almost no cultivation level, probably unable to even defeat a dog.
Utterly weak!
That was the label the crowd pinned on it.
“Ga ga ga…”
Upside down, buried in the mud, the golden, fat goose flapped its wings furiously before finally wriggling free, its head covered in muck.
Baring its teeth in a grimace, it charged towards Long Feng, who laughed the loudest.
Then, it bit his buttocks in one quick move.
“Ouch, that hurts!”
After being bitten, Long Feng clenched his posterior, inhaled sharply, and reached out to grab the goose’s neck, trying to pull it away.
But the goose held on tightly.
No matter how much Long Feng struggled, it clung on firmly and wouldn’t let go.
“Wow, someone help me out here!”
Long Feng yelled loudly for assistance.
“I’ll help you!”
Long Yuanqing rushed over in a flash, seizing the goose by its feet, and with a great effort, finally managed to pry it off.
“Ah!”
Long Feng looked at the pitiful wound on his behind and noticed the uneven rows of teeth marks left behind.
The golden, fat goose was no ordinary goose.
Its teeth, although not long or sharp, were golden, and biting was extremely painful.
In pain, Long Feng held his behind and hopped about continuously on the Divine Island, sucking in cool air through his teeth.
“Quick, apply some medicine for me!”
Shivering from the pain, Huo Yunjie hurriedly took out a bottle of Spirit Spring Water mixed with Life Spirit Force and splashed it onto Long Feng’s wound, significantly speeding up the healing.
Yet, even as the wound healed, Long Feng could still feel intense pain.
This pain originated from the soul and was persistent.
“Goose, goose, goose, being bitten by this seat’s invincible iron beak will cause soul-deep excruciating pain that lasts at least three days and nights, ga ga ga…”
The golden, fat goose, with its feet held by Long Yuanqing and suspended upside down, extended a wing to point at the distant Long Feng and mocked loudly.
“You dead goose, just wait for me!”
Long Feng picked up an iron rod and aimed a blow at the golden, fat goose.
