Chapter 974: Chapter 974: Prehistoric Overlord (Part 2)
The lightning ford a cluster of light that descended, illuminating the entire world.
The cluster of light quickly fell, striking the ground.
The intense vibration could be felt for hundreds of miles.
At this mont, the bottom of the cliff was struck, creating a giant pit.
And in the middle of the pit, lay a blackened bird.
Chuzheng: “!!!”
She furiously pounded the ground!
This lightning tribulation is so damn despicable!
[Miss, I warned you.] The King’s Account gloated beside her.
Chuzheng wasn’t hit much; Yin Xian protected her, but she was still pushed down.
Chuzheng shook her wings and sat up, threatening fiercely: “Bastard, are you asking for a beating?”
[…] What’s the threat about? You can’t hit .
That’s what the King’s Account thought, but dared not say.
The dark clouds above were dispersing, and sunlight pierced through them, shining on her.
Chuzheng glanced at herself, quickly got up.
If she didn’t run now, soone would see her in this state soon.
How could a big shot let anyone see them so disheveled!
–
The Prehistoric Era was a vast expanse of wilderness, with endless stretches of mountains.
The key feature of the Prehistoric Era is the wilderness.
This place is very desolate.
No buildings, only primitive wilderness and mountains.
Chuzheng avoided those beasts waiting to collect her corpse, and finally found a clear spring to wash herself.
She washed away the blackened stuff on her, revealing her original color.
Her body was crimson, with tail feathers a deeper shade, resembling blood.
The previously ragged feathers were now intact too, whether due to the bonus after the lightning tribulation or her own recovery ability.
It could be that the Phoenix Essence Blood was taken, Chuzheng felt that her body was a bit weak.
Phoenix Essence Blood is not ordinary blood; once taken away, it cannot recover on its own.
Either let the Phoenix Essence Blood return to the body or use rare treasures to cultivate new Phoenix Essence Blood, though this coagulation is slow and requires a lot of rare treasures.
It’s more reliable to snatch it back…
But the problem is, whom to snatch it from!
Chuzheng sighed, looked at her feathers—feeling not so soft.
All these feathers for nothing.
Looks good but not useful.
Chuzheng sat by the water, looking at her reflection in the water.
Quite pretty.
Chuzheng stared for a long ti, the King’s Account might have gotten impatient and popped out with a task.
[Main mission: Spend three Stone Lotus Fruits within half an hour.]
Chuzheng took out three fruits, which looked ugly, sturdy, like stones.
But being the currency of such a world set by the King’s Account, they certainly weren’t common items.
Chuzheng glanced around.
Didn’t find any living creatures.
She shook her feathers, got up, and headed towards the distant forest.
Surely there would be living creatures in the woods!
–
There are many beasts in the Prehistoric Era, even seasoned veterans cannot guarantee that they recognize all species.
Chuzheng was stepping on sothing like a hedgehog, covered in spikes, a… dog?
Ignoring the spikes, it did look quite like a dog.
The hedgehog dog cried: “Don’t kill , I don’t taste good, spare .”
Maybe because they’re all beasts… no, they are all animals, so Chuzheng understood what it was crying.
Chuzheng wouldn’t let go easily having finally found a living one.
“Robbery!”
Chuzheng looked at its spikes, then used her wings to pin down its spike-less head: “Give up the stuff you have.”
“No, no, I have nothing.” The hedgehog dog said tearfully.
Why would such a glamorous bird co to rob a beast like it!!
In the Prehistoric Era, the more beautiful the beast, the more beasts chase after it, so willing to fight for them.
Not to ntion such a bird, which is rare and precious.
“Nothing?”
“I truly have nothing.” The hedgehog dog feared Chuzheng might act, so it babbled on.
It hadn’t eaten for days and had nothing on it.
Poor as a church mouse.
Chuzheng: “…”
Chuzheng looked at its spikes… should she just pluck them?
Chuzheng acted as soon as she thought, directly started plucking spikes.
Blood-curdling screams echoed through the forest, and beasts around gave way.
Chuzheng threw three Stone Lotus Fruits at it: “What are you howling for, I only plucked three spikes.”
The hedgehog dog was about to continue howling, but the roll of Stone Lotus Fruits caught its eye, its pupils widened: “These… for ?”
“Yes.”
Upon hearing this, the hedgehog dog imdiately used its paws to pull the Stone Lotus Fruits to its chest.
Perhaps feeling unsafe, it glanced at Chuzheng and ate them in one bite, swallowing all three.
The original mory didn’t indicate what these things were, what their use was.
The hedgehog dog ate them so eagerly, presumably they’re good stuff.
Chuzheng watched it.
Are these things that tasty?
They look like stones, feeling hard, how are its teeth?
After swallowing, it looked at her timidly: “You… won’t regret it, right?”
Chuzheng maintained a cold face: “No.”
The hedgehog dog breathed a sigh of relief.
[Congratulations, miss, for completing the mission; the three Stone Lotus Fruits have been credited.]
Almost as soon as the King’s Account spoke, Chuzheng saw a glow appear on the hedgehog dog.
Chuzheng backed off a few steps.
Soon, the glow enveloped the hedgehog dog.
In just an instant, as the glow receded, only a boy remained on the ground.
Chuzheng: “…”
The boy’s skin was dark, with bare upper body and primitive style covering his lower body.
Of course, this was also the most common attire in the Prehistoric Era.
“I’ve transford!” The boy looked at his hands, jumping in elation: “Ahhh, I’ve finally transford!”
Chuzheng: “…”
Chuzheng took out the rewarded three Stone Lotus Fruits, does eating these transform you?
Chuzheng tried taking a bite, feeling it solid, but crisp inside; tasteless, not sweet or sour, upon swallowing, there was a sense of power flowing inside the body.
After eating all three, aside from feeling a bit better, more energetic, she didn’t feel like she’d transform.
Discriminating against ?
[Miss, you are a Phoenix, according to Prehistoric rules, you belong to the category of Divine Beast, it’s not so easy for you to transform.] The King’s Account explained to Chuzheng: [I told you to let the lightning strike you, but you didn’t listen.]
Don’t listen to the system’s advice, suffer in the present.
Chuzheng: “…”
If I’d known earlier that I’d have to be struck by lightning in the end, why did I dodge!
Reverse ti for !
[In dreams, anything is possible.]
Now reversing can only return to this mont, not back when she was struck by lightning.
Chuzheng cursed the bastard a few tis.
[…] I reminded you! Why curse ! What did I do to deserve this!! So wronged!!
The boy hopped over, sincerely thanking Chuzheng: “Thank you, King, do you still want my spikes? Can I offer you more?”
“No.”
The boy uttered a disappointed ‘oh’.
“Where are you heading, King? I’m familiar with this area, let guide you.” The boy continued recomnding himself.
Such a rare bird and generous rewarding good stuff.
Certainly want to cling tight to such a benefactor.
