Perfection: He is the Heavenly Emperor, I am the Eastern Emperor!

Chapter 24 Wumu Nest

After an unknown amount of time, Shi An suddenly felt someone stop in front of him, which made him open his eyes again and look in front of him.

There stood a little tiger girl, sucking her fingers, quietly looking at him.

Looking at his adorable little sister, Shi An immediately reached out with a gentle smile and softly stroked her head, saying, "What's wrong, little sister? Do you want to hear more stories from your brother?"

However, to Shi An's surprise, the little tiger girl did not snuggle into his arms as usual. Instead, she pointed into the distance and said in a childish voice, "Brother... big bird... egg..."

"Eggs?"

Little Tiger Girl's words startled Shi An at first, then he quickly stood up, looked in the direction she was pointing, and gave a helpless wry smile: "These guys..."

After sighing, Shi An squatted down again, looked at the little tiger girl at eye level, and said softly, "Then, little sister, do you want to go with your brother to find the big bird and catch its eggs?"

"I want... a big bird... its balls!"

Upon hearing that Shi An was going to take her to find the big bird and catch its eggs, Little Tiger Girl's eyes immediately lit up. She stumbled and staggered into Shi An's arms, then pointed into the distance and called out in her childish voice, "Big bird... eggs... big bird."

"Hahaha, come on, brother will take you to find the big bird and catch its eggs!"

Feeling the eagerness of the little tiger girl in his arms, Shi An burst into laughter. Then, with one step, he left Stone Village and arrived in the Great Wilderness.

Meanwhile, in the Great Wilderness, at the Wumu Nest, a group of mischievous children, as agile as monkeys, rushed towards the deepest part of the Stone Forest.

However, their expressions were not good throughout the journey, because the place was deathly still, and huge white skeletons could be seen everywhere.

There are wing bones that are six or seven meters long and metacarpal bones that are the size of a bathtub. It is not hard to see that these are the remains of wild beasts and birds of prey in the mountains and forests that were torn apart and eaten alive.

Watching all this, several of the bolder children were filled with excitement.

"This is it. I heard Uncle Lin Hu and the others say that the creature's lair is built on a cliff deep in the stone forest. These animal bones should be what it left behind when it was feeding."

"Also, everyone be careful, lest that guy finds us and we lose our lives!"

"clear."

···········

The children whispered as they galloped like wild horses, their speed resembling a dozen nimble whirlwinds as they hurtled into the depths of the stone forest.

Soon, the group arrived at a stone cliff.

The place was even more silent and barren, but everyone could clearly see that at the very top of the cliff was a huge nest, built of black wutong wood, which made people feel extremely oppressed.

In the distance, a group of children watched cautiously through the crevices of the rocks. The black nest was probably ten meters in diameter, and even from a distance, they could still feel its immense size.

"Yes, that's it! It really is here!"

"This guy has been lingering here for a long time, and now he's even built a nest. Is it true, as Uncle Lin Hu said, that he's already had offspring here?"

········

As they gazed at the enormous nest, the children's eyes shone even brighter; this was the reason they had risked coming here!

The owner of this nest is a fierce and powerful exotic bird, said to possess blood inherited from an ancient demonic bird, making it difficult even for the village's hunting team to deal with.

Not to mention ordinary wild beasts and ferocious creatures; once it sets its sights on you, you're almost guaranteed to die.

After observing for a while, one of the children, who looked like a monkey, whispered, "I heard from Uncle Lin Hu and the others that the male Azure-scaled Eagle hasn't appeared for a long time. It's very likely that it had an accident and died deep in the mountains."

"Therefore, every day at noon, the female bird has to go out to hunt for food by herself, which means that now is the perfect opportunity to get close."

Upon hearing this, the other children clenched their fists, feeling both nervous and filled with a strange excitement and anticipation.

Finally, with a whooshing sound, a large rock suddenly flew up and shot towards the cliff.

Unfortunately, whether due to insufficient strength or something else, the large rock did not hit the cliff in the end, but merely landed on the pile of rocks in front of the cliff with a loud bang.

"Thump!"

The sound startled everyone, but thankfully there was no movement on the cliff, which allowed them to breathe a sigh of relief.

However, this also made others somewhat dissatisfied with the child who threw the stone, and they all criticized him.

"Er Meng, how could you be so reckless?"

"Exactly, you were too reckless. What if you upset it?"

"That's right, that's right."

···········

Faced with everyone's accusations, the child called Ermeng blushed slightly and retorted, "I was just testing whether it was in the nest!"

Then, Er Meng changed the subject, saying, "It seems it's no longer there. In that case, let's hurry up and go!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Er Meng made a move to rush forward.

"Second Brother Meng, wait a minute!"

But just then, a childish voice stopped him, and then another small stone shot out from in front of everyone toward the nest.

This time, because the stone was much smaller, it flew up the cliff with a whoosh and landed near the phoenix nest with a loud bang.

"Thump!"

Immediately, everyone stared on with extreme tension, fearing that something unexpected might happen.

But as time went by, seeing that the cliff remained calm and the Azure Scaled Eagle had not appeared, everyone rushed towards the cliff like moths to a flame.

Upon approaching, the group of mischievous children calmed down and began to divide the tasks in an orderly manner. Some of them stood on the boulder, looking up at the sky, acting as sentries in case the ferocious bird suddenly appeared.

The others went directly to the cliff, preparing to climb.

But at that moment, the youngest member of the group suddenly suggested, "Big Brother Zhuang, you guys wait a minute, let me go up and take a look first."

Naturally, how could the others possibly agree to this suggestion? Although the little one was quite strong, they were all grown up, and they couldn't possibly let the youngest one be the first to go.

So, a rather robust-looking child refused without even thinking, saying, "Why are you rushing around when you're still breastfeeding? Just stay on the sidelines and watch."

After saying that, the burly boy turned to the others and shouted, "Brothers, let's go! Don't let the little guy look down on us!"

Even though the little guy was fuming, the others ignored him and started climbing the cliff.

Unfortunately, the little one didn't listen to them. After seeing that they had started climbing, he also scrambled up the cliff like a little monkey, his movements nimble and agile.

"Little one... brothers, hurry up, don't let the little one get hurt."

Seeing this, the other children disregarded everything else and immediately shouted anxiously, following after them.
