Chapter 13: The Gu Eagle
Knowing that he and Big Ash had entered the inner area of the forbidden land, Chen Yuan couldn't help but call himself lucky, the first thing he found out was Lu Shu, a peaceful beast who didn't like to kill, if it weren't for that, I'm afraid that he and Big Ash wouldn't survive more than one night inside. Thinking of the strength of those strange beasts he saw on the riverside, Chen Yuan was glad and at the same time understood why the strength of the several waves of strange beasts he saw was so strong, after all, this is already an internal area, if there is no strength, it is estimated that it will be difficult to mix here.
Following Lu Shu to the place where it lived, Chen Yuan no longer bothered about the matter of his straying into the forbidden land of Xingchen Lake, but looked at Lu Shu's residence. Lushu's dwelling is a huge clump of trees, the reason why it is described as a bush, is because although this tree is not as tall as the other trees seen along the way, its root system is very developed and exposed a large part of the soil, the crown and trunk and the root system below only account for about 20% of the whole, the remaining 80% is all dense and intertwined root system, these roots almost cover a radius of 100 meters, it looks very spectacular.
Chen Yuan and Big Ash followed Lu Shu to a hole large enough to accommodate Lu Shu's body, Lu Shu took the lead in getting in, and Chen Yuan and Big Ash followed. What Chen Yuan didn't expect was that there were holes in these root systems, unlike those dense roots that looked dense from the outside, there were only a few particularly thick root systems on the inside, so that such a natural space was formed under the tree, and the hay laid on the ground made Chen Yuan sure that this was the residence of Lu Shu.
"It's a shame you found this place, and from the outside, you can't imagine that there would be such a large space in it. Chen Yuan said to Lu Shu with a smile, and secretly praised the strangeness and secrecy of this residence in his heart, and this time even Da Ash nodded carelessly. Lu Shu hissed softly, and his voice was crisp and pleasant. He told Chen Yuan that it didn't live here originally, and that this place was discovered by accident when it was fighting an old enemy, and that it thought it was very nice and hidden, so it simply moved here.
"Old enemy, do you still have enemies?" Chen Yuan suddenly became curious, and he also wanted to know what kind of species this kind-hearted Lu Shu called his enemy. Before Lu Shu could answer, suddenly a cry like a baby crying came, this cry was not as loud as when an ordinary baby cried, but a little hoarse, and the voice revealed a bit of gloomy and weird taste.
Chen Yuan subconsciously looked at the place where the voice came from, and saw that at the entrance where they entered, a creature shaped like an eagle with horns on its head appeared. "Its shape is like an eagle and has horns, and its sound is like the sound of a baby, this is a Gu carving!" Chen Yuan looked at the strange beast at the entrance and cried out in a lost voice. Lu Shu affirmed Chen Yuan's words, and in front of Chen Yuan was another strange beast recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" - Gu Eagle. But this kind of alien beast is cruel and vicious by nature, and likes to eat people, so it is inherently wrong with Lu Shu and is an old enemy.
The Gu Eagle's eyes stared at Chen Yuan, constantly making a sound like a baby's cry, his eyes flashing fiercely, while Lu Shu stepped forward and protected Chen Yuan and Big Ash behind him, also hissing and impassioned. Because they communicate too quickly, Chen Yuan can only hear a general meaning. The Gu Eagle wanted to eat Chen Yuan, and what else did he say about the royal breath, evolution or something. And Lu Shu told Gu Diao Chen Yuan that he was his friend and resolutely defended Chen Yuan.
With a high-pitched and shrill roar from the Gu Eagle, the negotiations broke down. The Gu Eagle spread its wings and went straight to Chen Yuan, and a pair of sharp claws under him were about to be grabbed by Chen Yuan's Heavenly Spirit Gai with a sound of breaking the air. The speed of the Gu Eagle was too fast, Chen Yuan only saw a vague shadow, the Gu Eagle's attack had already arrived, and the cold light on those sharp claws instantly made the hair on the top of Chen Yuan's head stand up. At this critical moment, Lu Shu's hind hooves came first, and when the claws were still an inch away from the top of Chen Yuan's head, they collided with the claws. After a dull sound of "Peng", Lu Shu withdrew his hind hooves, and the Gu Eagle was blasted into the sky again, and it seemed that Lu Shu had the advantage.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Yuan pulled Big Ash back, he understood that the battle at this level was no longer something that he and Big Ash could interfere with, since Lu Shu had the advantage, then the venue would be vacated for Lu Shu, so that Lu Shu would not be able to let go because of his concern for them.
The Gu Eagle missed a blow, glanced at Lu Shu angrily, opened his wings and swung down suddenly, only to see two huge gray wind blades with a foot of two meters, with a piercing whistling sound that pierced the air, slashing towards Lu Shu at an extremely fast speed. And Lu Shu raised his head, and a light blue water wall was set up in front of him, although the cutting ability of the wind blade was extremely strong, but after breaking the water wall, it was also the end of the strong crossbow, and was kicked away by Lu Shu's two feet, and did not cause any damage to Lu Shu.
But the Gu Eagle's repeated attacks obviously angered Lu Shu, only to see Lu Shu's tail flick, and five orange-red fireballs the size of a basin shot towards the Gu Eagle in the sky like a cannon, although the Gu Eagle released three gray wind scrolls, trying its best to change the position of the fireball, but there were still some feathers that were scorched.
Lu Shu's attack lit up Chen Yuan's eyes, it turned out that Lu Shu was able to use the power of two attributes at the same time. The white head clearly symbolizes the power of the water attribute, while the red tail symbolizes the power of the fire attribute. With such diametrically opposed attribute power as water and fire, Lu Shu is naturally very powerful, no wonder there are no other strange beasts attacking them in this not a short distance from the riverside to the residence.
Seeing that he couldn't beat Lu Shu, the Gu Eagle glanced at Chen Yuan unwillingly, flapped his wings, turned into a gray whirlwind, and fled. As if he had expected it a long time ago, Lu Shu did not pursue, but as if he had done a trivial thing, he turned around and walked towards Chen Yuan and Da Ash.
Lu Shu told Chen Yuan that this Gu Eagle and himself became rivals because of the diametrically opposite concept of life and lifestyle, just like good and evil, light and darkness, were born in the wrong way. So it's almost a small fight every two days, a big fight every three days, and it's been fighting for many years. Because Lu Shu is a dual-attribute beast, and the diametrically opposite attributes are magically able to attack and defend both under the use of Lu Shu, so Gu Diao has always been at a disadvantage. But because the Gu eagle can fly, every time it can't be beaten, the soles of the feet will be greased and slipped, and Lu Shu can't catch up, just like today's situation, so over time, Lu Shu is too lazy to chase.
After chatting and chatting, he talked about the reason why Chen Yuan and Da Ash came to Xingchen Lake this time, when he learned that Chen Yuan wanted to rely on the red jade and zhu fruit to cultivate, Lu Shu looked very interested, and he had never seen a human cultivator. Chen Yuan agreed that cultivation was a request that Lu Shu wanted to watch from the sidelines, and Lu Shu also agreed to protect Chen Yuan with Big Ash when Chen Yuan was cultivating to ensure that Chen Yuan would not be disturbed.
"By the way, Lu Shu, what did the Gu Eagle say to you? I didn't hear you too clearly when you said it too quickly, but it always felt like it had something to do with me, and the Gu Eagle's eyes looking at me were obviously wrong. After discussing the cultivation matters, Chen Yuan asked the doubts in his heart.
