49 Shameless Bird

Continuous miserable screams emitted from the crow statue.

Duo Tian could not take it and stopped his actions. He furrowed his brows. "Why are you screaming at the top of your voice? I haven't even stabbed a single wound on your skin because blood was not leaked, yet you've still got the gall to scream? And you dare boast that you are a deity?"

"Young lad, when did this deity scream? Do you think such a tiny saber could hurt this deity?" The creature within the statue started to put on airs again.

Duo Tian was unhappy with those words. He took out the Nightfall Abyssal Saber, intending to stab again.

"Wait, wait, young lad, don't you want to know the whereabouts of the Primordial Devourer Crow? This deity can give you the information, but you need to satisfy my request. And that is, to get me out of here! There, there, there, what kind of expression do you have now? This deity is able to get out by himself, I'm just wanting to test you, so don't misunderstand!"

"Hehe, I do have a way," Duo Tian grinned, "I have a kind of scroll called the 'Resurrection Array'. It is said that it can resurrect you from this crow statue!"

The creature inside the crow statue was immediately shocked and shouted enthusiastically, "Mighty Handsome Traveler, quick, quick, get this deity out of here. This deity will give you a big reward!"

"No, I only have one scroll of resurrection array. It is extremely precious. Moreover, didn't you say you could get out by yourself? So forget it, I'll go search for the Primordial Devourer Crow myself. Goodbye!" Duo Tian smiled and turned away.

The creature within the statue became agitated. "Young Handsome Traveler, come back here," the creature shouted. "If you don't have this deity's guidance, you won't be able to find the Primordial Devourer Crow. Don't you realize something? This mountain range has existed for millions of years and so far, nobody has been able to find the Primordial Devourer Crow… because…"

"Because of what?" Duo Tian stopped abruptly to ask.

Frankly, he was indeed curious. The mountain range had existed for so many years and no one had really seen the existence of Primordial Devourer Crow.

"Heheh, young lad, exchange your resurrection array scroll and this deity will tell you the exact location of the Primordial Devourer Crow!"

"Oh, then you'd better forget it. I'm not interested in the Primordial Devourer Crow anyway." Duo Tian bluffed. Spending 7500 system points for an unknown creature who can scam him seemed like a bad deal, especially as he didn't know what this unknown creature could do.

The creature within the statue was really astounded by his attitude. "What? You aren't interested in the Primordial Devourer Crow? Haha, young man, you don't know about the origin of the Primordial Devourer Crow, do you?"

"Oh, so you know about its origin?" Duo Tian asks indifferently.

"Of course, this deity knows everything! The Primordial Devourer Crow used to belong to a Pseudo-Immortal in the ancient times before it subsequently ended up in this world. If you can obtain it, you'll be in for a great fortune."

"What kind of fortune?" Duo Tian raised his eyebrow as his interest in the Primordial Devourer Crow was piqued.

A Pseudo-Immortal in the cultivation world was a terrifying existence, as his Great Ancestor is one of the entities with such level of cultivation. A Primordial Devourer Crow that had once belonged to a Pseudo-Immortal… If he can makes it his lifelong companion, he really hit a jackpot this time.

"Anyway, it is a great fortune. Alas, only I ended up defeated like this by your Matriarch Ancestor. I can see that you have extraordinary talent, so I don't mind giving you the chance to subdued the Primordial Devourer Crow. Well, let me out first, and I will tell you more." The creature inside the statue calmly spoke.

"Kekeke, you know how to fool people well," Duo Tian smirked, "Letting you out is in fact, not a difficult task. Well, help me subdued the Primordial Devourer Crow and I will definitely save you. How's that?"

The statue suddenly fell silent. Duo Tian was slightly surprised. Could this fellow be pondering my request? He thought.

However, after quite some time, there was no response from the stone wall. Duo Tian ran out of patience and began to frown. "Have you thought it over? This Handsome Traveler is a very busy man. If you don't make a decision now, then I'm leaving."

"Huh?" The voice from the statue sounded shocked. "Don't be in a hurry, young man! I fell asleep earlier. To tell you the truth, the Primordial Devourer Crow is sealed!"

"What? If so, then I have no reason to stay here any longer. I'm leaving, bye!" Duo Tian started to walks away.

"Da** it, young lad, why are you in such a hurry? This deity has not finished talking. No one else is able to unseal the Primordial Devourer Crow except me!"

"Tell me about it." Duo Tian replied flatly.

"Although this deity was defeated back then, your Matriarch Ancestor didn't obtain anything good out of it. Your Matriarch Ancestor could not subdue the Primordial Devourer Crow, because I have the remnant of that crow soul, kakaka!" The creature inside the statue laughed madly.

"Fine then, give me that remnant of soul and tell me the Primordial Devourer Crow location. If I can subdue it, I'll come to save you." Duo Tian stated.

"Impossible! What if you run away after subduing the Primordial Devourer Crow?" The creature inside the statue denied.

"I won't, this. Handsome Traveler is not the type of person who doesn't keep promises!" Duo Tian calmly answered.

"Oh, you absolutely are!" The creature flatly rejects him.

"I'm really not! If you don't believe me, you can go ask around. Everyone knows that the Handsome Traveler always keeps his words!" Duo Tian shrugged his shoulder.

"Okay then, let me out and this deity will go asking around right away." The creature demanded.

"No problem, give me the remnant of soul and the location, then I'll save you immediately." Duo Tian flatly answered.

...

The two of them argued with each other for quite some time, with no one willing to give in to the other's demands.

Chu Yueli was flabbergasted as she didn't think that some creature can actually follow this little rascal act.

Duo Tian knew that he had met his match. He knew very well that he couldn't get something for nothing. He pondered for a while and gritted his teeth. He called the system interface and exchanged for the Resurrection Array scroll from the system market. No pain, no gain.

Shoosh!

*Ding =System= 'Thank you for purchasing an item "Resurrection Array" / Grade (SS) x 1". 7500 system points has been deducted'

A light flashed by as 7500 system points were deducted.

Duo Tian took out the scroll of resurrection array and waved it in front of the crow statue. He grinned and flaunted, "How's this? See this? This is the resurrection array scroll. If you want to come out, be more sincere, hand over the remnant of soul, and tell me the location of the Primordial Devourer Crow."

"Holy hell, you really have the resurrection scroll? This… How is this possible?" The creature within the statue was appalled.

Duo Tian was speechless. "Hey, so all this time, you didn't believe me? Then why did you bargain with me for so long?"

"Kakaka, this deity hasn't spoken to anyone for too long. This deity just wanted to chit-chat with someone. Young lad, it seems like this deity has underestimated you!" The creature inside the statue laughed.

"Go to hell!" Duo Tian got angry and instantly grabbed out the Nightfall Abyssal Saber and directly stabbed it into the statue butt.

"Ah! Ow, ow, ow, ow, ouch! Young lad! Stop it! This deity has decided to cooperate with you!" Desperate screams could be heard coming from the statue.

After that, the statue size shrank from as big as elephant to the size of the adult normal crow.

Duo Tian was taken aback by this sudden transformation then he takes several steps back.

The tiny crow statue finally spoke out again, "Actually, this deity is the Primordial Devourer Crow himself. Your Matriarch Ancestor didn't manage to make me submit to her. Alas, she is stronger than me and sealed my with the Immortal Suppression Arts here."

"Why would I believe you?" Duk Tian questioned.

Hearing that, the tiny crow statue let out a laugh, "Just use your Immortal Suppression Arts with the word of " Unseal" to me, it should have a significant effect to the seal she put upon me, ey, don't tell me you didn't learn the arts?"

Duo Tian then pondered for a while and decide to takes the chance, he uses the Immortal Suppression Arts and the word of "Unseal" crashed with the tiny statue. After the word hit the tiny crow statue, a strange thing happens, the statue tail turned into a blackish colored tail of a crow and from there, an aura of Primordial Chaos Energy was emitted.

"Your Immortal Suppression Arts still on the low level, looks like you can only use the resurrection array to unseal this deity." The tiny crow statue was disappointed.

"System, can you scan what kind of creature inside the tiny statue are?" Duo Tian asked.

*Ding =System= 'Judging by the pure aura of Primordial Chaos Energy that was emitted by its tail, blacks feather, and the moderate amount of Primordial Devourer Crow bloodline, it's undoubtedly the offspring of the Primordial Devourer Crow'

"What the f***, offspring? Didn't Great Ancestor said that there were real Primordial Devourer Crow in this world?"

=System= 'The real Primordial Devourer Crow is as scarce as Pseudo-Immortal itself. Besides, because of some events in the past, the Old Villanious Heaven decide to exterminate their race. This creature in front of the owner must be the last descendant alive now."

Hearing that Duo Tian was rather flabbergasted by the system explanation, "Why would the heaven exterminated their race?"

=System= 'The information is restricted, but the system will advise the owner to makes a forceful bind to the creature as it will bring tremendous benefit to the owner'

"You da** bastard, how dare you fool me. You are just the offspring of Primordial Devourer Crow, not the real one!" Duo Tian shouted angrily.

"Eh? how did you know!?" The tiny crow statue panicked.

"If you beg with me sincerely and shout that I am the most Handsome Traveler in the world, perhaps I will let you out?" Duo Tian shrugged his shoulder.

"I beg you, mighty Handsome Traveler. This brother in front of me is the most Handsome Traveler in the world!" The tiny statue shamelessly shouted.

Duo Tian smirked and ask the system if there was any item that can forcefully bind and subdued the creature into him in case this cunning statue want to betray him.

=System= 'There is currently one item that matches the owner criteria, "Ultimate Bird Bow Tie (Bind Item / Grade (SSS)" 20000 system points'

Duo Tian's heart bleeds when he saw the price, he wants to shout out loud and cursed the system for scamming him. But hearing his Great Ancestor said about this bird, his Great Matriarch try to subdue it in the past, and even the system suggestion, he tries to believe in them.

Duo Tian's mouth twitched. He agreed to the system as spat a mouthful of blood but forcefully swallow it down again, because he didn't want to lose his cool. F*** all my savings just gone like that.

*Ding =System= 'Thank you for purchasing an item "Ultimate Bird Bow Tie" / Grade (SSS)". 20000 system points has been deducted'

- Ultimate Bird Bow Tie / Grade (SSS)

The ultimate bird bow tie can be used as the owner pet accessories to forcefully bind the bow tie into a bird creature. If the owner feels betrayed or the bird tries to escape, the owner can recite the chants of "Naughty Bird Comeback". Then the chants will make the bow tie shrunk and strangle the bird to death within the next 5 minutes.

So with this, I can actually beat that damn bird head-on without any pressure, he thought. Then there is no need to say anything further. What the hell is this descendant of the Primordial Devourer Crow? Heheh… your brother Duo Tian is going to treat you 'nicely'!

"How is it? Have you thought it over, young lad?" the tiny crow statue urged.

In fact, the creature was feeling butterflies in his stomach as he was worried that Duo Tian might make overly demanding requests. He was equally concerned that Duo Tian might just leave without coming back ever again.

If that really happened, he was not sure how many years would pass before another person with a resurrection array scroll would come to him.

Duo Tian smirked evilly. "Fine then, since you asked sincerely, then I'll be merciful and inform you that I can let you out."

"Kakaka, wise choice young lad. You will not be disappointed by this deity prowess in the future." The tiny crow statue laughed.

"Will you die if you don't brag?" said Duo Tian in contempt.

"I'm the offspring of Primordial Devourer Crow after all!" The tiny crow statue responded without delay.

Duo Tian found himself rendered speechless by the dishonest creature that bragged like nobody's business at every opportunity it received! That creature really…really was even more shameless than him!

Chu Yueli giggled as she spoke, "This tiny crow statue is just like you, little rascal."

"No, we don't!" Both of them stated at the same time, making Chu Yueli laughed even more.

And so, Duo Tian had the resurrection array scroll in his hand as he recited the scroll and draw a circle formation according to the scroll under the tiny crow statue.

The crystal clear circle formation slowly trickled and emitted a flash of light. Surprisingly, the formation did not flash too brightly and the formation array line sparked as if it was following a designated pattern.

Finally, it gradually formed an inscription as it lit up and the tiny statue was now filled with bright lights!

Boom!

In an instant, the whole tiny statue shook and cracks ran up its surface.

"This deity is coming out!" The creature within the walls gave a screech of joy as he was very excited. A great force broke out of the tiny crow statue!

Bang!

That tiny statue suddenly collapsed and the rubble caused a lot of fine sand and dust to scatter everywhere.

Duo Tian couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

At this moment, a dark shadow dashed out, with speed like lightning. The shadow headed straight towards the sky.

Duo Tian immediately cursed and uses the Ultimate Bird Bow Tie, "Bind him. Damn, I knew that he would run away!"

The bow tie flashed with a speed so fast that the bird who wants to escape was outmatched as the bow tie bind its neck.

After seeing the bow tie successfully bound the bird neck, he started to chants "Naughty Bird Comeback!"

The bow tie shrunk as it strangles the bird neck.

The dark shadow was shaking his body and was screaming miserably. "Ouch, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ouch…. What the heck did you just do to this deity neck!? Softer, softer, this deity won't escape!"

By then, the dust had somewhat settled down, and Duo Tian went up to the dark shadow. When Duo Tian saw the features of the dark shadow, he was dumbfounded.

It was a small crow with a blackish not fully developed feathers and ball-like body, making him looks like a small black fluffy ball with a bow tie in its neck. From the way the crow stared at people, it looked funny, idiotic, and adorable. Duo Tian instantly realized that the crow appearance was way too different than his initial imagination.

"Damn, you're actually a fu**ing crow fledgling!"
