Chapter 049: Sixteen Years Later
Now that he had a practical method, Wu Tian naturally embarked on a journey to find the Dragon Balls.
In the past ten years, he had actually traveled around with this bird. But because he didn't realize that the bird had the ability to sense the location of the Dragon Ball, he didn't care much about where the bird flew to play.
Now that I think about it, more than thirty years ago, when the original colorful bird flew to his side, it was also gently pecking at the four-planet dragon ball in his hand.
This time, if it weren't for the fact that the dragon ball happened to be stuck between the dinosaur's gums and tooth roots, which made the dinosaur feel uncomfortable, the birds around him were kind enough to help the dinosaur knock out the dragon ball...... I'm afraid Wu Tian doesn't know how long it will take to discover this secret.
Perhaps never discover the secret.
Because the fertility of this colored bird is very low, and it is parthenogenesis regardless of gender. A coloured bird will only lay a few eggs in its lifetime, and whether it can successfully hatch a newborn bird depends on the will of God.
In the past 30 years, it is a bit incredible that Wu Tian has been able to continue the original bird's fire to this day without forcing it.
————
In this way, Wu Tian took the three birds that had been following him and began to wander aimlessly in the vast earth.
This is probably the stupidest, stupidest, and most tiring way to find Dragon Ball...... But Wu Tian had no other way, at least in the current era, he had no other way. Now that he was able to discover such a unique method, it was already an unexpected surprise, and he couldn't force it more.
Originally, he thought that it would be at least another hundred years before the technology that could detect the Dragon Ball signal appeared.
He was prepared for a long wait.
But where did you think of it...... It turned out that the opportunity to collect the seven dragon balls had already flown to him by himself more than thirty years ago. It's just that he's still ignorant.
Wu Tian was lucky to find the first Dragon Ball at the end of the second year.
Take the initiative to find the first Dragon Ball through the birds.
It is also the third Dragon Ball he currently has.
It was found in a lake, when three colorful birds were hovering somewhere on the sparkling lake, refusing to leave, Wu Tian immediately took off his clothes and jumped into the lake.
With his physical strength as a martial arts qigong master, it was common to hold his breath in the water for ten minutes.
Soon...... He was at the bottom of the lake, in the mud behind a swaying aquatic weed, and found the yellow-orange-orange bead, a dark red five-pointed star suspended in the inner center of the bead, a planet.
"Whoa. ”
Wu Tian's head rose out of the surface of the lake, setting off a white wave.
He put the planet he found at the bottom of the lake in front of his eyes, and quietly observed, the dragon ball was washed by the lake water, and in the aftermath of his vision was the surface of the lake that reflected the sunlight and looked like gold, and the dragon ball seemed to be a treasure suspended in the heavens.
The sun was strong overhead, and on Wu Tian's stiff beard, water droplets slipped down little by little, splashing onto the surface of the lake.
Fluttering ......
The three colorful birds flew around Wutian happily, and they didn't know what they were happy about. Maybe it's because they have completed what Wu Tian asked them to do, and they feel happy and happy.
"Hehe......" Wu Tian's whole person slowly moved up from the water, getting out of the water little by little.
The water slid through the angular muscles of his bare upper body, two bulging pectoralis major muscles, eight tightly arranged rectus abdominis muscles, bulging intercostal muscles, and inverted triangle latissimus dorsi...... Finally, the toes of the drooping feet merge into a stream of water and return to the lake.
Wu Tian flew towards the shore, and three colorful birds followed him happily.
Standing on the shore, Wu Tian's body was shaken by qigong-
In an instant, the water droplets were shocked off the surface of Wu Tian's skin by an extremely fine scale but extremely strong force. As for the shorts on his lower body...... It's still wet, and his qigong hasn't been able to achieve the same effect as a big furnace for the time being.
"Chirp ......" The three birds jumped onto the scattered clothes on the ground, pecked them like courtesy, and grabbed the clothes and jumped towards Wu Tian.
"Huh...... Now, little one, it's time for me to serve you. Wu Tian shook his head and smiled, grabbed his clothes from the ground, and hung them on his shoulders casually, while he himself wore a pair of big shorts and left the lake.
Naturally, the three birds flew after him, still chirping.
This time, the discovery of the Dragon Ball at the bottom of the lake made Wu Tian suddenly realize something...... Most of this earth is covered by oceans, and if only one of the seven dragon balls sinks to the bottom of the sea, what will he do?
Not to mention that it is impossible for this bird to sense the radio waves of the Dragon Ball at the bottom of the sea, even if it can, with Wutian's current strength, if he wants to dive into the deep sea with his physical body, he is asking for his own death.
The terrifying pressure of the water could easily crush him into a ball of meat sauce.
This concern lasted for a whole decade.
In the past ten years, Wu Tian has found three other dragon balls one after another. They are two, seven, and five. Plus the three dragon balls he found earlier, one planet, six planets, and four planets......
It's just a three-planet away.
It was at this time that Wu Tiancai remembered that at the beginning of the original Dragon Ball manga, Boomer, who came out to look for Dragon Ball for the first time, told Sun Wukong, whom she met for the first time, that she accidentally found a Dragon Ball in the warehouse at home, and by reading legends and allusions, she knew the secrets of Dragon Ball and the Divine Dragon, and also knew the ...... In history, there was a person who made a wish to become a king through Dragon Ball.
Wu Tian guessed that the person who made a wish to become a king in that story may have been like him, relying on this special bird to successfully collect the seven dragon balls.
A man who can become a king by relying on Dragon Balls, Wu Tian does not think that he will have the power to dive into the deep sea.
Even if that person already had a deep-sea submarine in his time, it would be tantamount to a fool's dream to find the Dragon Ball in an ocean that is many times wider than the continent with that kind of bird.
Wu Tian also didn't think that anyone would make a Dragon Ball radar before Boomer.
…… In any case, it doesn't matter whether these conjectures are right or wrong. Wu Tian had already collected six of the seven Dragon Balls, and as long as he found the seventh, the last Three Planets, the wish he had been preparing for decades, he would finally have a chance to come true.
But it seems to be a good thing, but this last dragon ball, Wu Tian has traveled to almost every corner of the earth, and he has not been able to find it for a long time.
In this way, another five years passed.
Wu Tian had a coarse cloth burden tied to his body, and sat on the branch of an old tree in the woods, leaning on the trunk.
Now that another sixteen years have passed, and his face and appearance look like that of an old man in his fifties. The furrow-like wrinkles on his face are not only much more than they were back then, but also much deeper.
Between his sideburns, the first strand of gray hair finally grew.
Wu Tian raised his head from the gap between the dense branches and leaves, looking at the blue and distant sky, and there were faint white clouds slowly drifting by. This old fellow, who is already ninety years old this year, looks calm and does not know what he is thinking.
Fluttering ......
Seven birds blocked the sunlight in Wu Tian's line of sight, causing the light to become indefinite. Wu Tian smiled slightly, raised his arm, and the seven colorful birds scrambled to fall towards his arms and palms, you squeeze me, I push you, it's not lively.
"Okay, okay, don't make a fuss. ”
Wu Tian raised his other hand, his hand seemed to be filled with a magical power, and the seven birds stopped making noise in an instant, and stood obediently and orderly on his arms one by one. The bird, who had no place to stand, simply ran to his shoulder and head. Wu Tian didn't mind either.
Wu Tian stroked the smooth feathers of the rows of colored birds on his arm, and asked in a low voice, "Little ones, have you found anything?"
If the dragon balls had been found before, the birds would have caught them directly at his behest. At this time, seeing that there were no dragon balls on the claws of the birds, Wu Tian thought that they had not found them.
But who knows, as soon as his words came out, seven birds fluttered their wings and flew up. They flapped their wings in the air in front of Wu Tian and levitated, "chirping", "chirping" and "chirping" and noisy.
After arguing for a while, they flew in one direction one after another, and finally the birds that stayed in place "chirped" and followed the other birds.
Wu Tian leaned against the trunk of the tree and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Finally...... Do you want to collect all seven dragon balls?
His back slowly left the dry bark, and in the next second, he had appeared on the ground, and in the blink of an eye, he had walked forward for nearly a hundred meters.
The sparse golden sunlight of the woods shone through the gaps in the leaves, spilling over the shade of the dirt road, and the breeze blew, leaving only a shallow footprint there.
As for where the footprint in front of the footprint is, who knows, perhaps...... I've already stepped on the other side of the so-called dreams and so-called ambitions.
