Chapter 406 The Unreliable Little Bird
Ou Yangming’s face twitched. The joint attack by nearly 100 pieces of Skill Equipment was endured by the spirit beast’s tough body, and it did not even injure the beast severely.
This would almost be unimaginable even if it was made known to everyone else.
Being the creator of the pieces of Skill Equipment, Ou Yangming knew better than anyone else how formidable the skills were. Moreover, when he fought the elder earlier, the pieces of equipment played crucial roles. In a way, every skill he used must not be underestimated because even he dared not resist any of them.
If almost 100 of such skills were released at the same time, the resulting power would certainly be unbelievable.
Since that was the case, given that a beast was still alive and kicking after facing the frightening attack, how fearsome was it? “Senior, since it wasn’t severely injured, why did it escape?” Ou Yangming asked as he was curious. He looked at the hesitant beast herd in the distance and questioned, “What are those ferocious beasts waiting for? Are they afraid too?”
“I experienced the previous disaster, but...” Elder Universe smiled bitterly and shook his head as he felt helpless. “It’s too strange this time, so I’m extremely confused.”
“No matter what, we should do what we ought to do,” Li Xinfan said after some thought, then he turned around and shouted, “Messenger, let everyone else know that the walls have to be fixed!”
“Yes!”
One of the general followers left in a hurry. Although the fallen walls could not be repaired in a short period, the brave warriors seized every second and began to clean up the mess.
This was because they knew they would not be able to do so if there was another wave of the beast tide. Therefore, they must give their all before that.
Afterward, Li Xinfan turned to persuade Ou Yangming patiently, “Master Ou, it doesn’t matter why the spirit beast left; it was ultimately because of you. Please leave and smith as many pieces of equipment as you can, so we’ll be able to increase our success rate.” Ou Yangming pursed his lips. He was about to argue with the general when he noticed how firm Elder Universe and the others were.
He was startled for a while, but he soon understood that the men were determined to not let him fight at all. The young fellow even noticed dangerous looks from some Supreme Great Ancestors. Those powerhouses obviously would not harm him, but he figured that they would be fine with tying him up to keep him in a safe place. Upon thinking about that, Ou Yangming shrunk his neck and made a wise choice by stepping aside.
Seeing as Ou Yangming agreed to stay away and returned to the Ni residence under Ni Jingshen’s company, the Supreme Great Ancestors sighed breaths of relief.
As they looked at their magic tools and magic armors, they suddenly had great fighting wills and heroic spirits.
With Ou Yangming—their mighty mastermind -around, they were confident about facing every enemy in their way.

The Eight-armed Giant Beast left in haste. It did not command the beasts to attack the city after it went far away, but it restrained them so that they would not overstep bounds. Fortunately, it was a high-rank spirit beast, hence ordinary ferocious beasts and even half-spirit beasts would not resist it. If that was not the case, once it was quite a distance away, the ferocious beasts might not obey its orders anymore.
The giant beast ran tens of kilometers away before it sat on an empty ground. It held its head with its hands as though it was extremely bothered by something.
At the spur of the moment, a red light flashed and landed on its head. It happened so quickly that it was simply far-fetched, and it was as if it never took place at all.
The Eight-armed Giant Beast immediately froze. It flashed a flattering smile and greeted, “Sir, you’re back.”
“Shut up!” The little bird stomped its feet fretfully.
As such, the Eight-armed Giant Beast instantly shut its mouth and dared not make a sound. It knew how exactly terrifying the little devil on its head was, so it must not offend it.
The little bird paced back and forth for some time before it asked out of the blue, “Hey, why aren’t you saying anything?” ‘Ah, running into this little devil makes me feel like I have nothing left to live for.’ The Eight-armed Giant Beast widened its eyes, which had become teary. Nonetheless, it dared not complain at all, and it answered right away, “Sir, I don’t know what to say.”
“Hmph, why don’t you ask about my harvest today?” The little bird stuck out its chest and noted proudly.
“Sir, since you attended to the matter personally, I’m sure you caught the Sky-devouring Evil Remnant!” The Eight-armed Giant Beast remarked without any hesitation.
“Not bad, you’re quite smart,” the little bird commented cheerfully. It later flapped its wings and flew up, then it looked down and noticed the countless wounds on the giant beast.
While the wounds looked scary, it was only because there were many of them. In actual fact, they were not severe injuries for the Eight-armed Giant Beast because it could fully recover after resting for a few days.
“Hey, what were you doing? Weren’t you only attacking one of the Humans’ cities? Why are you in such a mess?”. “Sir, you have no idea. That city has over 100 Supreme Great Ancestors.” The giant beast forces a smile.
“What are Supreme Great Ancestors?” The little bird was indifferent. “They can’t even cast magic power yet, so how can they call themselves great ancestors? They’re so shameless!”
The Eight-armed Giant Beast agreed with the little bird at once. “Sir, you’re right, the Humans here are too presumptuous.” “Were you defeated by merely 100 so-called Supreme Great Ancestors? You really disappoint me! A useless thing like you will only waste the world’s resources, so how about I just burn you to death?” The little bird tilted its head and asked.
The giant beast turned green, but it was in fear, thus it shouted, “Sir, please spare me! It’s not that I was afraid of them, but I was petrified by the one behind them!” “Behind them... What do you mean?” The little bird was intrigued.
“The 100 Supreme Great Ancestors were armed with magic tools-magic skill tools,” the Eight-armed Giant Beast quickly answered as it dared not relax at all, “The wounds on my body came from their pieces of Skill Equipment. Furthermore, they were also equipped with magic defensive armors!”
After hearing what it said, the little bird was dumbfounded at first, then it responded, “That’s impossible! How can there be so many magic tools in this world? What more, they’re magic skill tools!”
“Sir, I couldn’t have been mistaken. Besides, you can tell from my injuries that I wasn’t lying,” the Eight-armed Giant Beast stated with a bitter smile.
The little bird flew around the giant beast, but it soon had a bright smile on its face. “I get it now—you’re worried about the person who smithed the pieces of equipment.”
“Yes. The magic tools couldn’t have been smithed by the humans of this world. If I guessed it right, an almighty being must’ve descended, but he’s lurking in the dark because he doesn’t want to violate the rules. If I continue to order the other beasts to attack...” The Eight-armed Giant Beast looked fearful. “Perhaps I couldn’t have returned to meet you, sir.”
The little bird laughed for a moment before it said, “You’re an idiot, but you have a good vision indeed. Hmph, you should be glad that you stopped, or I would’ve burned you such that your soul flies away!” “Sir, you... Know that human blacksmith?” The Eight-armed Giant Beast shuddered with fear.
“That blacksmith’s not a human.” The little bird scoffed.
“If he isn’t human, what is he?” The giant beast was dazed.
“He’s a comrade of mine, so of course, the smithing of some magic tools won’t be an issue won’t him,” the little bird answered arrogantly.
The Eight-armed Giant Beast widened its eyes in bewilderment, to the extent that they became larger than lanterns. ‘He’s the little bird’s comrade? Doesn’t that mean that I have... Two sirs in this world?’
The thought of it made the beast feel dizzy. If it was not because a part of it still had a strong will to survive, it would have taken its own life by smashing its head to the ground.
“My comrade transformed into a human and is helping the people in that city. Hehe, do you still want to eliminate the Humans?” The little bird asked after it flew and landed on the Eight-armed Giant Beast’s head again.
“I dare not.” The giant beast felt a chill in its heart.
It knew it would be burned by a blazing fire if it replied any later than that, and it could have been burned into ashes.
“That’s more like it!” The little bird nodded as it was pleased, then it stomped its foot and raised another question, “Help me thinkwhat should I present to my comrade as a gift for our first meeting?”
‘You live in a high-end world, and I know nothing about it...’ The Eight-armed Giant Beast thought. However, it could sense that the little bird was getting impatient, hence it racked its brain and suggested, “Sir, there must be a reason your comrade’s living among the Humans, right? He’ll surely be delighted if you cater to his wishes!”
“Cater to his wishes...” The little bird’s eyes lit up, and it laughed out loud. “You’re right, you’re right, I recall something now. Heh, you’re quite dumb, but you can also be useful at times.”
‘As long as I’m still useful... ‘The Eight-armed Giant Beast was relieved. It was only afraid that the little bird would find it useless and would anyhow breathe fire at it. In that case, the giant beast would end up in a tragic death.
Nevertheless, the little bird ordered all of a sudden, “Now, I order you to seek refuge in my comrade as the beast kind. You’ll become his contract pet and help him leave this lowly world.”
The Eight-armed Giant Beast froze, and it had a strange look on its face.
‘I was ordered to eliminate the Humans, but I wasn’t asked to be someone’s contract... Pet? If the real beast king finds out about this, I’ll probably be skinned.’
That said, the giant beast cast aside those thoughts when it thought about the little bird on its head.
‘It’s better to live a bad life than to die a painful death!
‘I’m only doing this because I’m being threatened. If anything goes wrong, let’s see if the beast king has the guts to look for trouble with that clan.
