My Silly, Sweet Wife

At the same time, Ye Guichen and his companions saw a large bird that seemed to be enveloped in flames flying from somewhere.

The bird spread its wings, measuring over two meters, and after a sharp scream, it swooped down viciously, directly blinding a wild boar’s eye.

The beast let out a miserable cry, turned its head, and attempted to flee.

But before it could take two steps, it collapsed heavily to the ground, twitched twice, and then lay motionless.

The other beasts, witnessing this scene, attempted to escape one after another.

However, the bird had no intention of letting them go; with nearly every rise and fall, it easily killed one beast.

In just a dozen seconds, all the beasts on the scene had been killed.

The bird grabbed the beast, which seemed to weigh over a thousand pounds, but despite its grasp, didn’t hold onto it.

The bird had no choice but to tug outward with its two claws, astonishingly splitting the wild boar into two halves.

Then, the bird grabbed half of the wild boar and leaped into the air to a nearby tree.

There, it seemed, were several birds roughly the size of hens.

When the bird threw the half wild boar onto a tree branch, those birds quickly approached and began pecking at it, soon devouring the entire half wild boar clean.

Seeing this, Ye Guichen was also somewhat dumbfounded.

The big bird looked similar to the Ghost Bird he had subdued, but even more vibrant and astonishing.

As for those birds resembling hens, they also seemed to be Ghost Birds.

But how could a Ghost Bird grow so large?

At first glance, one might mistake it for the legendary Phoenix.

”That must be the Ghost Bird King, reputed to be the closest species to a Phoenix,” suddenly, Yang Hongfu’s voice rang in Ye Guichen’s ear.

An Long was also stunned: ”What? A Ghost Bird King, is there really a Ghost Bird King in the world?”

Yang Hongfu ignored An Long and continued explaining: ”Brother Ye, I always thought the Ghost Bird King existed only in legends. I never expected to actually find one here. As far as I know, this Ghost Bird King generally has many mates; ten or eight is not a problem at all. And the Ghost Bird offspring are only the size of regular sparrows, perhaps only one in ten thousand can inherit the Ghost Bird King’s bloodline.”

”Generally speaking, the Ghost Bird King will find ways to eat the weak chicks, allowing the stronger ones to survive. The eggs of the Ghost Bird are said to be nourishing treasures, making one immune to all poisons, prolonging life, even being a great nourishment for animals.”

”Looking at this scene, it seems many female Ghost Birds laid eggs, attracting those beasts, which led to this situation. Clearly, those beasts have now become food for the Ghost Bird King.”

An Long was already terror-stricken, his face turning pale.

He only knew of small Ghost Birds, but even small ones could easily annihilate them.

Now encountering a Ghost Bird King, isn’t this courting death?

”Quick, let’s get out of here. If the Ghost Bird King discovers us, we’re all doomed.”

The Ghost Birds carry venom, usually feeding on venomous insects, but for such a large Ghost Bird King, only eating insects wouldn’t suffice.

Therefore, these large beasts ended up suffering.

Witnessing the ease with which the Ghost Bird King subdued those beasts, An Long clearly understood that the bird’s terrifying power already surpassed that of a Great Grandmaster expert.

Being scratched by it would surely lead to poisoning and death.

An Long didn’t want to stay a moment longer, pulling Ye Guichen to leave.

But as he pulled, he noticed Ye Guichen moving towards the large tree where the Ghost Bird was located.

An Long was almost frightened stupid: ”Mr. Ye, you, what are you going to do?”

Yang Hongfu urged urgently: ”Brother Ye, don’t act impulsively!”

Ye Guichen initially just wanted to find the Ghost Bird’s eggs and awaken the Ghost Bird he had previously tamed, making it a powerful asset.

But now he had encountered a Ghost Bird King. If he could subdue it, wouldn’t he possess a whole army of Ghost Birds? Then, with a mere wave of his hand, who would dare to boast?

Adventure?

Not at all.

For Ye Guichen, this barely counted as an adventure.

The most terrifying aspect of the Ghost Bird lies in its venom, but venom can’t harm Ye Guichen.

Therefore, as long as the Ghost Bird King doesn’t hit a vital area, Ye Guichen is confident he can subdue it.

Ye Guichen stepped out from the shadows and was quickly noticed by the Ghost Bird King.

The Ghost Bird King seemed surprised that someone dared show themselves at this time, shrieked, and swooped towards Ye Guichen.

Ye Guichen didn’t use any Golden Snake Sword, and as the Ghost Bird charged, he quickly grasped its claw.

The Ghost Bird’s claw had tiny barbs; if touched by a normal expert, it would pierce the skin, leading to instant poisoning and death.

But Ye Guichen’s body was now extremely resilient, and the barbs on the Ghost Bird’s claw couldn’t harm him.

The Ghost Bird hadn’t expected Ye Guichen to be so bold; while its claws were restrained, it wanted to break free from Ye Guichen’s grip.

Yet, Ye Guichen’s feet seemed rooted to the ground, unmoving.

The Ghost Bird King shrieked twice, flapping its wings rapidly, creating two gusts of wind, intensifying the force.

The force seemed strong enough to easily lift a cow.

However, this level of force was still negligible to Ye Guichen.

Hiding in the shadows, Fei Hong and Black Demon were stunned.

”Who is that person?”

”Isn’t that a Ghost Bird King there? Oh my, there’s really a Ghost Bird King here. If we had recklessly acted earlier, we’d probably be dead by now.”

”Strange, how is that guy okay? The poison on the Ghost Bird King is a thousand times more potent than ordinary Ghost Birds; touching it means death. How can he seem unafraid of the poison?”

”I don’t know either. What should we do now? If we show ourselves and there’s a Ghost Bird King here, there’s only a path of death. But if we don’t act, we’ve discovered Ghost Bird eggs here; missing them would make finding them next time difficult.”

Fei Hong and Black Demon hesitated for a long time, finally deciding to wait and see.

Judging from Ye Guichen, he seemed locked in a stalemate with the Ghost Bird King.

If they could both be wounded, it would be the greatest news for them.

On the other side, Yang Hongfu and An Long were awestruck.

An Long’s mouth gaped enormously, his voice trembling: ”I didn’t see wrong, did I? Is Mr. Ye actually in a standoff with the Ghost Bird?”

Yang Hongfu didn’t expect Ye Guichen’s body to be this formidable either, lightly sighed: ”What seems impossible to us, perhaps Brother Ye never even considered.”

He suddenly realized the longer he spent with Ye Guichen, the more his self-confidence was shattered.

Previously, as Zhang Chonglou’s first disciple, no matter who he faced, Yang Hongfu maintained a calm, poised demeanor, without arrogance outwardly but feeling superior internally.

However, after spending more time with Ye Guichen, Yang Hongzhi suddenly felt like a mere novice, seemingly knowing nothing and just tagging along with Ye Guichen.
