A Bird that Burrowed . . .
The bird couldn't beat the cat in the competition of speed, and its fire attack was swallowed by Erhuo. Erhuo and Hawky were attacking together. The bird was dying!
The next moment, what happened shocked Erhuo and Hawky.
The bird actually burrowed into the ground.
Hawky shouted and rushed down to it but hit the ground in the end. The powerful blast created a pit on the ground, and it only grabbed some feathers off the bird. Hawky hit the ground so hard, and it felt dizzy…
The bird was gone…
Erhuo shouted angrily, "Meow!"
Its hairs all stood straight up, and it fiercely stared at Hawky.
'It is your fault! You shouldn't attack when you got down! I was going to get it! I have locked it up with my invincible pacing technique! It didn't have a chance to get away! You did this! You got into it, and we lost control!'
Hawky cooed and lowered its head. It apparently knew it should be blamed.
Hawky's claw was still grabbing the colorful feathers. It wanted to throw them, but Erhuo shouted to stop it.
"Oh, my two great spiritual beasts are back!" Cha-Eun Xiao stared at them and humphed.
"Meow…"
"Coo…"
"Don't! No chicanery! You two need discipline! Do you really think there is nothing I can do to punish you?" Cha-Eun Xiao was angry. "Both of you, get back to the Space! You are in confinement!"
Erhuo hastily jumped up to Cha-Eun Xiao's chest and rubbed him with its furry head. Hawky got on his shoulder and rubbed his face with its head too.
Erhuo always did this to Cha-Eun Xiao, but Hawky didn't always do such a thing. They obviously knew how to deal with Cha-Eun Xiao's anger…
"You two little things!" Cha-Eun Xiao helplessly smiled.
The two beasts realized that Cha-Eun Xiao was not angry anymore, so they were relieved but didn't stop fawning…
Suddenly, the feather in Hawky's claws fell off to the floor…
It wasn't so special, but something happened, and it drew Cha-Eun Xiao's attention…
"What is it?" Cha-Eun Xiao saw it so he asked.
The feather was not a feather anymore. It became something colorful and shiny, and it looked like a root of some plant. It was extraordinary…
That was not some feather of some bird!
As Cha-Eun Xiao took a closer look, the colorful root was as thick as a finger, about thirty centimeters long… There were small branches too… It must be a part of the roots of some big tree…
The feather had become something else!
"Meow…" Erhuo stared at the weird root.
"Coo!" Hawky was shocked too. Apparently, it never thought the feather could transform. It actually got back something so magical!
The next moment, the cat and the hawk left Cha-Eun Xiao behind and rushed down to get the root. Cha-Eun Xiao was surprised how fast the two beasts could move.
"Meow! It is mine!"
"Coo! Mine! Mine!"
"Calm down! Don't you move!" Cha-Eun Xiao shouted. "It is mine! The one who touches it will be shut in the Space in confinement for half a year! One year!"
Erhuo and Hawky both stopped and rolled up their eyes.
'I have never seen a shameless man like you before. How could you get the food away from your pets? You are a terrible person!'
Cha-Eun Xiao picked up the colorful and shiny root. He held it in front of his eyes and looked surprised. "What is this thing?" He kept turning it over and over and smelled it for a little. Suddenly, he felt a strong flow of spiritual qi rushing into his nose. He almost choked…
The spiritual qi from the root was even heavier than the spiritual qi in the Boundless Space!
Cha-Eun Xiao was shocked.
After the despoiling around for all those days, the Boundless Space was richer than ever before. The spiritual qi in the Boundless Space was the richest. The spiritual root's spiritual qi wasn't pure purple qi, but the spiritual qi was still pure and rich. That was rare!
What was that root?
Cha-Eun Xiao looked at the four roots in his hand, and he was confused.
It must be the root of some extremely valuable plant. It must be something at an extremely high level…
"Where did you get this?" Cha-Eun Xiao was serious.
"Meow meow meow meow…" Erhuo explained everything.
"Did you mean it was a bird?" Cha-Eun Xiao was obviously astounded.
Erhuo and Hawky nodded.
Cha-Eun Xiao was lost. 'A bird? The root of a bird?'
"You found a bird, so you rushed over to fight it?" Cha-Eun Xiao was confused.
"You beat it down from the sky? It became a small bird? You beat it again on the ground? The bird unleashed fire? It was amazing?
"Erhuo swallowed the fire? You two were going to catch it?
"The bird burrowed? It fled away?
"Hawky, you went after it, and grabbed the bird's feather?
"The feather suddenly became this?
"A bird? The root?"
Cha-Eun Xiao was dumbfounded. He was sure that the two little things wouldn't lie to him. Otherwise, he would be furious about it. It was like a terrible lie! Since when did the feather of a bird would change into the root of a plant?
And there was never a bird that could burrow…
"What happened? Erhuo, tell me more about it!" Cha-Eun Xiao turned over and looked at Erhuo.
Erhuo kept making gestures, blaming Hawky for being stupid. "Hawky was stupid. I swallowed that bird's fire, and I locked it down. I was so close to catching it… Hawky suddenly rushed down from the sky and interrupted our battle… The bird got the chance to flee… That stupid hawk ruined my plan, and the bird left."
"Coo…"
Hawky didn't agree. "Who knew that bird could burrow? If you got the bird, you wouldn't share a damn thing with me! How could I not get myself involved as soon as I could! Besides, I grabbed some of its feathers! What did you do? You didn't even realize what happened! You are the useless one…"
"Really? Are you sure you want to talk to me like that? If you didn't stand in my way, I would have caught it from behind! You actually gave such an absurd explanation! I am going to cut your food for the day!"
The cat and the hawk quarreled.
