This was a precious remnant bone where ancient and powerful fierce beasts condensed runes. The bone inscriptions mastered by the human race developed based on these rare precious bones and were the source of mysterious power.
The beast arm bone merged with Shi Linhu's arm bone, shining brilliantly!
Because of this, his strength soared. His entire body incredibly grew from two meters to three meters. He became much stronger and was surrounded by lightning-like beams of light. His blood energy was astonishing.
The green-scale eagle chirped. Although intimidated by the aura emitted by the beast bone, it was unwilling. The black beak like a scimitar gathered a lustrous glow and the runes became stronger and stronger. It was about to launch an attack.
A mysterious power was accumulating, gathering towards the beak. There, it became more and more brilliant, startling all the birds and beasts in the mountains, who then fled in panic.
"Feijiao, you go too!" Village Chief Shi Yunfeng ordered another powerful man in the village to activate the second ancestral artifact.
Shi Feijiao was strong and vigorous. He threw away the wolf tooth club in his hand, activated the mysterious power, and immediately bone inscriptions shone on his chest like stars twinkling. He quickly took out an old and blood-stained ancient beast skin from his arms and pressed it hard against his chest.
"Boom!"
A wild and domineering aura spread in all directions, startling all kinds of creatures in the forest. It was like an ancient remnant species appeared here, causing the green-scale eagle in the sky to tremble again and stop its dive. Its eagle eyes were cold and nervous.
The light on Shi Feijiao's chest shone. The old ancient beast skin actually merged with his chest and became his flesh, emitting a powerful vitality and beginning to shine brilliantly. Finally, a mysterious symbol was formed.
A beast head loomed, trying to break free from the rune.
Shi Feijiao seemed to have an extra face on his chest. The rune condensed by the fusion of the ancient beast skin and his flesh and blood was shining brightly and gradually taking shape. The vague and terrifying figure of a fierce beast emerged.
A majestic and overwhelming pressure swept through the forest, shocking people's hearts!
This was another ancestral artifact of Shicun, an ancient beast skin. It was unknown from what era it was inherited. Apparently, it also fell off from an ancient fierce beast and condensed a rare and precious powerful rune.
Most of the bone inscriptions mastered by the human race were copied from the precious bones of fierce beasts, but it did not mean that all fierce beasts condensed their mysterious powers in their bones. Some also transformed in their flesh, skin, or even hearts.
The light on Shi Feijiao's body became stronger and stronger, flickering like flames. His whole body was brilliant. At his chest, the roar of the beast was like thunder, shaking the forest and causing rocks to roll down.
This was not an ordinary bone inscription that was copied by the human race and then developed and deduced. This was the most original source of power - the bone and precious skin, extremely powerful.
Ordinary villages and tribes definitely wouldn't have it, let alone having two ancestral artifacts at once. Apparently, Shicun had an extraordinary past many years ago.
Shi Linhu and Shi Feijiao stood side by side, looking up at the fierce bird in the air together and releasing the power of the ancestral artifacts. The violent aura rushed against the sky like a torrent.
It could be clearly seen that all the brambles, vines, big trees, etc. nearby burst completely.
The green-scale eagle's cold eyes showed suspicion. It did not dare to approach and seemed to be completely intimidated. The two sides confronted each other and entered a short period of tranquility.
"Roar, the village chief is here. Uncle Lin Hu and the others have come to save us!" At the exit of the stone cave, several children peeked out and saw a group of fierce men in the distance and cheered.
"Let's go. The village chief and uncles have come to take us home."
A group of children in the stone cave rushed out like a swarm of bees, running towards the adults. On this side, Shi Linhu and Shi Feijiao and others also relied on the two ancestral artifacts to meet them. The two sides quickly converged together.
"Kids, are you okay?" A group of strong men rushed over, picked up their own children, and examined them thoroughly, afraid that they might be injured anywhere.
"It's okay. We are all fine. Only a few people have scraped their skin." The children replied.
"That's good." These fierce men felt relieved and then one by one, they swung their palm-sized hands and slapped the children's butts vigorously.
"Ouch, it hurts so much. Why are you hitting us? Weren't you still very concerned about us just now? How did you change your face so quickly!" The children screamed.
A strong man said, "One thing is one thing. Since you are okay, we have to settle the score. Your hair hasn't even grown fully yet and you dare to provoke the magic bird. If I don't spank your butts until they are broken, I'm not your father!"
In mid-air, the green-scale eagle was hostile, its eyes full of fierce light, but it still did not dive down. Instead, it confronted cautiously and did not take immediate action.
Village Chief Shi Yunfeng shouted, "Let's hurry and go. Lin Hu and Feijiao's attainment in bone inscriptions is not very profound and it's difficult for them to truly exert the power of the ancestral artifacts. Let's go back to the village now." He himself had hidden diseases and was not suitable for a fierce battle.
The children were all found and no one had an accident. This was the best news. A group of people held big clubs and curved huge bows, carefully defended, and retreated towards Shicun, protecting a group of children in the middle.
"Wow, Uncle Lin Hu, you are so amazing. Over the years, Grandpa Village Chief has been experimenting on you and you have achieved such great success. You are all geniuses!"
"Yes! Also, what kind of weapon did Uncle Feijiao use? Why haven't we seen it before? Do you have to understand bone inscriptions to activate it? Uncle, you are really powerful and mighty!"
On the way back, a group of children ignored the fierce bird in the air and tried their best to flatter the adults, afraid of being severely punished when they returned.
"Stop being glib. I'll teach you a lesson later!" The father of Skinny Monkey glared.
The green-scale eagle followed all the way. It didn't dare to invade the village until it saw the old willow tree near the village. It circled in the sky and chirped angrily.
Everyone let out a long breath. Being followed by such a powerful descendant of an ancient magic bird all the way, their hearts were always tense because if something went wrong, many people could die.
"We used the ancestral artifacts this time. I hope it won't cause any trouble." The village chief murmured to himself.
"Village Chief, don't worry. In this wild mountain range, who would pass by? No one can see." Shi Linhu said.
"I hope so. The things passed down by our ancestors have been dusty for a long time. I hope there won't be any changes because of this incident." Shi Yunfeng said softly.
The expected bloody battle did not come. They safely returned to the village. The descendant of the magic bird chirped loudly in the air. Its sound pierced through gold and split stones.
After entering the village, there was chaos. Women rushed over and hugged their own children. They were really worried when they received the news not long ago. While men began to look for wooden boards, preparing to spank these trouble-making "brats".
"Little rabbit, I'll teach you for causing trouble. Stop right there!"
"Dad, don't hit me. I know I was wrong!"
A group of children ran away wildly. Finally, they all fled to the village chief's courtyard, hoping that he could help plead for mercy and prevent their fathers from taking action.
After entering the stone courtyard, a group of children were really jealous and envious. Little Dot was not punished. Instead, he was holding a small porcelain bowl and scooping milk with a small wooden spoon.
"Wow, Little Dot, you are drinking milk again. You are already three and a half years old now!" A child shouted.
"Yiya!" Little Dot was very embarrassed. Holding the small bowl, he covered it with his tender little hands and didn't let the older children see. His little face was red and his long eyelashes trembled. He defended feebly, saying, "You are wrong. I... actually... am drinking water."
"Ha ha..." A group of children laughed.
"We all got beaten. How come you have beast milk to drink instead?" Skinny Monkey asked curiously.
"Because I told Grandpa Village Chief a story and he thought it was good and didn't blame me." Little Shi Hao's big eyes rolled.
"What story?"
"The story of Xiaohong."
"What is Xiaohong?"
"Xiaohong is that crimson sparrow. I told you about it too." Little Shi Hao was very dissatisfied.
A group of children rolled their eyes and booed, "If the village chief believes it, then there must be a ghost. The Vermilion Bird was only a legend in the ancient times. How could there be one now and you even chased after it!"
"Well, two years ago, I don't know what mountain treasure appeared in the deep mountains, attracting many powerful ancient remnants. An unimaginable great battle broke out. There was once a crimson firelight that burned through the sky. We could faintly see that the sky fire in that area did not extinguish for dozens of days from our village." The village chief came over and said this.
"Apparently, there was a fire beast in the deep mountains, but it should not be the legendary divine sparrow because that is too unrealistic." At this time, Shi Linhu and others also came.
"The battle two years ago was really thrilling. I really don't know what kind of fierce birds and beasts came. One late night, I once saw a towering humanoid creature carrying a black iron rod and taking one step over several mountain ridges. But I didn't see its true appearance clearly." Shi Feijiao sighed. Thinking about it until now still makes his hair stand on end.
The adults came and a group of children immediately looked bitter. They were going to punish them and had chased all the way to the village chief's place.
"Village chief, we took all the eggs of the green-scale eagle. They can hatch the descendants of the ancient magic bird and might be comparable to the sacrificial spirit in the future to guard our village!"
"That's right. In the future, there will be flying battle birds in our Shicun. These are three eggs of the descendant of the ancient magic bird!"
The children took credit, hoping to be forgiven.
"Do you know how much meat is needed to feed such a fierce bird every day? Food has always been scarce for us. How could there be extra to raise three huge creatures?"
"Ah!" The children looked worried.
"Also, do you think it's over? Take a look outside the village." An elder of the clan sighed.
The children climbed onto the high platform and looked outside the village. They were immediately startled. That terrifying green-scale eagle stood on a huge rock. Its eyes were cold and its whole body's scales shone. It had been guarding outside and did not leave.
"This kind of fierce bird is very vengeful. You stole its eggs. How could it let it go? It will be difficult to go hunting outside the village in the future." Shi Feijiao was worried.
The children's faces turned pale immediately and they knew they had caused a big trouble.
"Yiya, let's return the eggs to it. It's also very pitiful for the green-scale eagle to lose its children." Little Shi Hao blinked his big eyes and said in a low voice.
"This big eagle without feathers is very terrifying. If we don't return the eggs to it, it might make a big fuss and the village won't be peaceful. Even if we have ancestral artifacts in hand, it's difficult to deal with it. After all, no one can exert the true power of the precious artifact."
The villagers decided to send the eggs out and try. If it didn't work, they would think of another way.
The three jade eggs as big as washbasins were crystal clear, with spots and beautiful fluorescence flowing. The mysterious power of the runes was diffusing and there were dots of divine light.
As soon as everyone stepped out of the courtyard and had not walked a few steps, beside the altar next to Village Chief Shi's house - the only willow branch of the completely charred old willow tree suddenly moved. The only willow branch was surrounded by green glow, like a brilliant divine chain, and gently stroked an egg, instantly making it shine brightly!
