This bone tower was extraordinary, radiating divine brilliance all over, hanging in mid-air like a massive sun, and one could sense an extremely ancient aura from a great distance away.
A group of Human Race geniuses were howling and rushing towards the bone tower suspended in the valley, intending to seize this unclaimed object.
All these young elites were survivors of the treasure awakening, each one greatly powerful, not merely boasting empty titles. They were genuine seeds of their respective powers, and as they moved, various runes sparkled and shone brightly, shaking the earth so much that many mountain peaks were shaved off, causing rocks and soil to roll down…
"Squawk!"
At that moment, a deafening sound of the skies breaking echoed from the vast blue sky, like a sudden thunderclap.
The next moment.
A huge figure appeared, obscuring the sun and swooping down from the sky.
It was a three-headed bird, hundreds of meters massive, covered in circling orange feathers. A casual movement stirred wild winds, crushing thousands of rocks that weighed tons. It was a terrifying sight that forced many geniuses to retreat right at the start.
"This beast bird might have extraordinary bloodline; otherwise, it couldn't cause such a significant disturbance. It can repel so many geniuses with its power alone!"
A genius wore a solemn expression, lamenting that this savage world was not dominated by the Human Race after all!
Although the Human Race had produced many elite Human Emperors these years, becoming increasingly powerful and dominating some influences, they were still insignificant compared to these terrifying creatures with dominating bloodlines, naturally inferior by a great extent.
One of them could intimidate a group of them, whereas a group of them might not necessarily intimidate one. This was the visible gap.
"Look, there seem to be people on that three-headed bird!!"
Suddenly, someone looked shocked, and nearly lost his voice as he pointed at the massive figure in the sky and yelled out.
"Impossible, who can control such a terrifying beast bird?" A group of people expressed their disbelief, but nevertheless looked in the direction the person was pointing at unconsciously.
No kidding, they could actually see several figures on the back of this terrifying bird.
There were men and women, as well as few ferocious beasts. An Old Barbarian Bull and few Kirin, all appearing relaxed.
"What on earth is this? The beasts are riding a beast bird. Are they trying to defy heaven's will?"
Many people were dumbfounded, having never seen such a situation in their entire lives. On the journey, they had once encountered a formidable White Tiger escorted by a Human Race palanquin, attended by serving girls, with the path cleared by strong people.
"This beast bird is heading straight to the bone tower, aiming for the treasure. Everyone, together!! That's our Human Race's treasure; we can't let others steal it."
In the corner, a recently arrived genius angrily voiced out, taking action promptly, and rushing towards the three-headed bird. The dazzling brilliance suddenly engulfed the surroundings, displaying an impressive power.
In the high sky, the beast bird flapped its wings, and runes surged out, forming gigantic cyan wind blades. It ruthlessly unleashed its attack on the approaching crowd, slashing fiercely.
In an instant, many geniuses retreated in defeat, some even bleeding as they were cut by the wind blades, sustaining injuries all over their bodies.
This three-headed bird was too powerful, having stepped into the Cave Heaven Realm for a long time. The surrounding people were at most in the first cycle of the Cave Heaven Realm, still unstable and not its match, directly crushed by it.
"Ah, what a low trick, can it even be played like this?"
On the ground, several relatively slow young geniuses finally recovered, couldn't help but cursing.
It was evident that these people wanted to use this three-headed bird to deter everyone, then take away the ancient tower directly.
Oh, what despicable and cunning plot this is, I wonder which arrogant heir thought of it.
The Heavenly Praide, who were annoyed, noticed that the Ancient Tower was not small, and it would be hard for ordinary people to even budge it. Taking it this way indeed saved some effort.
However, when they thought about the power of that ferocious bird, all of the Heavenly Pride were instantly dumbfounded.
Without those shadowy figures on the bird's back even lifting a finger, they had them searching the ground for their teeth and retreating in defeat. If the opponent made another move, they would probably bleed out, possibly even perish on the spot, just like the rest of their men.
In the sky, a huge figure blocked the sun and dived down. Its gigantic claws were covered with block-like scale armor in a bluish-gray color, radiating a chilling gleam, and were heading straight for the transparent bone tower below.
At that moment.
A small figure burst out, a boy about ten years old. His clothes were ragged, making him look like a beggar, but his aura was extraordinary. Like a cub of an ancient beast, his power was terrifying. He was trying to snatch the bone tower, blocking the way of the three-headed ferocious bird. His small figure appeared like a deity.
"Three-headed Bird, I advise you to leave here quickly, or I'll eat you!"
With his chest puffed out and head held high, the boy made his declaration, completely unaware of the silhouettes on the back of the three-headed bird, assuming it was purely a ferocious bird trying to snatch the treasure.
"It's that Little Dot! What a coincidence that he's here too!"
On the back of the three-headed bird, Tu Wa Zi's eyes brightened up. Standing high above on the bird's back, with a broad and bright viewpoint, he was the first one to spot the boy.
Though the boy was covered in dirt at the moment, Tu Wa Zi still recognized him.
Apart from having an excellent memory, the main reason was that Tu Wa Zi felt that he had once suffered a loss under the boy's hands. There weren't many people who could take advantage of him. Thus, he paid extra attention and remembered.
"Which Little Dot?"
Lin Zhuang and Lin Chen frowned slightly, for they didn't have much of an impression of the boy.
When they went to Stone Village in the past, Shi Hao was just a three or four-year-old boy with a runny nose. His appearance had changed a lot now, and they hadn't paid much attention to him at that time, so they didn't recognize him anymore.
"It's that little guy from Stone Village who loves to drink milk. Their village's Sacrificial Spirit is also quite remarkable, equivalent to our Lord Willow God, who also led the village across millions of miles of territory during the Chaos of the Four Beasts, settling down in the Western Region. Maybe they've become our neighbors again!"
Tu Wa Zi explained.
"So, it's someone from Stone Village!" Lin Zhuang somewhat remembered. He had some impression of that village, having dealt with them a few times and even taken some of their things.
"We do have some ties with Stone Village. The brother probably didn't see us. Let's invite him to join us on the bird's back!"
Lin Zhuang was very enthusiastic. A distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. Back then, Stone Village did help him to some extent, whether it was sincere or pretend.
No sooner had his voice fallen than, far away, a loud sound suddenly shot through the sky, piercing the blue sky and enveloping it with a series of glowing runes, charging straight for them.
It looked like a palanquin, shining all over with brilliant colors. It was not just a means of transport but also a powerful ancient chariot treasure, wrapped in rosy light.
The palanquin was radiating light, with runes interweaving and forming a screen of light, carrying several people. It exuded an aggressive momentum and launched an attack without any preamble.
A large number of runes descended from the sky, densely scattered all over. It almost flooded the place. The walls of the valley collapsed, causing stones to fly and boulders to roll down. The dust filled the sky as if an earthquake had happened.
The sudden emergence of this change made the boy and the three-headed bird stop whatever they were doing involuntarily. They had no choice but to divert their attention to fight against this new threat first..
