Chapter 509: Chapter 235 Birdman_1

Lin Baici’s sharp gaze pierced through the fluttering fallen leaves, outlining the complete silhouette of that thing.

It was a three-meter-tall monster.

Its body was covered in earthy yellow skin, resembling a plucked chicken scalded with boiling water; it should be some kind of bird person, but without feathers.

This creature was very plump, its belly and limbs all flabby, piled and compressed together. It had a triangular bird head with two narrow bean-shaped eyes and a sharp beak.

"Ah woo ah woo!"

The creature made strange noises as it lunged towards the few people closest to it.

"Ah! There’s a monster!"

"Run quickly!"

"God Lin, save us!"

Everyone immediately panicked, scattering in all directions, but the creature was very fast, and in the blink of an eye, it had already reached a man, swiping with its large paw.

Bang!

The dirt and fallen leaves flew chaotically around.

With that blow, the creature easily flattened the unlucky fellow to the ground like a human swatting a cockroach, then grabbed, lifted, and swung him down again towards the earth.

Bang!

Ah!

The man let out a shrill scream that could probably be heard throughout half of the forest.

"Ah woo ah woo!"

Shouting bizarrely at the humans around, the creature lifted the man, its eyes widening as it observed him, muttering a whole bunch of gibberish.

Lin Baici already held the Bronze Sword and had summoned Muscle Buddha, ready to blast the creature, but upon seeing this, he quickly stopped.

Gu Qingqiu had intended to advise Lin Baici not to rush into the fight, as this creature wasn’t like those giant birds; it didn’t kill immediately and seemed possibly interested in communicating as it captured a human without immediately devouring him and was muttering away, likely wanting to communicate with humans.

But there was no need for Gu Qingqiu’s reminder; Lin Baici had obviously noticed this detail too.

"God Lin, save me!"

The unfortunate soul was crying for help.

"What do you think?"

Gu Qingqiu didn’t look at Lin Baici, but it was clear that this question was directed at him.

"It seems interested in bird eggs!"

Lin Baici speculated.

"Your reason?"

Xia Hongyao widened her eyes, but couldn’t make anything out.

At first glance, this creature resembled a large bird that had been scalded and plucked, capable of upright walking, with a protruding belly.

If used for soup, it would definitely yield a pot full of oil.

Lin Baici took two steps forward, extended his left hand, palm open, displaying the bird eggs that Hua Yue Yu had found, for the Fat Bird Monster to see.

Ah woo ah woo!

The creature made a weird sound, eyeing Lin Baici.

The scattered people around also quieted down, watching the interaction between Lin Baici and the creature.

Lin Bai had intended to throw away the bird egg, but considering they might break upon impact, he placed them on the ground instead and then signaled everyone to retreat.

The Fat Bird Monster, without waiting for Lin Baici and his group to move back, impatiently ran over; being so fat, its entire body of fat jiggled disgustingly as it moved.

The man it had captured was being dragged on the ground, held by one hand, getting covered with mud and rotting leaves.

The Fat Bird Monster picked up the bird egg and eagerly tossed it into its mouth.

Crack!

The Fat Bird Monster crushed the egg, closing its eyes and slowly shaking its head, seemingly savoring the sensation and aroma of the egg yolk spreading over its taste buds.

A minute later, the Fat Bird Monster extended its fat, thick tongue, licking its lips all around and even licking the hand that had touched the egg. It then looked at Lin Baici, starting to call out to him with ’ah woo ah woo’ noises.

"What is it saying?"

Little Fairy was curious.

"It wants more bird eggs!"

Lin Baici felt a bit overwhelmed; with such a large body, and the bird eggs so small, how many would it take to satisfy its appetite?

Lin Bai estimated that after feeding it enough, they should be able to get some useful information.

"Bro, you... you can’t possibly understand what it’s saying, can you?"

Li Junsheng was shocked. Could a God Hunter really be this impressive?

"I don’t understand!"

Lin Baici looked up at the few giant birds circling in the sky. After the appearance of the Fat Bird Monster, their flying speed had increased quite a bit, likely an expression of agitation.

"Huh?"

Not just Li Junsheng and Little Fairy, but even Xia Hongyao were all baffled. If you don’t understand bird language, how did you know the creature was interested in bird eggs?

"This creature didn’t kill, which means we are not part of its diet. Its attack was more like a deterrent and driving away behavior against other animals that intrude into its territory!"

Gu Qingqiu explained, "As for how Bai Ci knew it was interested in bird eggs, it’s because it was looking at Bai Ci’s left hand first."

Xia Hongyao puffed out her chest proudly, as if to say, ’See how impressive my team member is?’

Lin Baici glanced at Gu Qingqiu. This woman had quite high logical thinking skills, only a bit crazy, and her constitution was too weak.

How much would that brain be worth if given to High Ponytail?

God must have mistaken ’constitution’ for wisdom when creating Xia Hongyao, adding it to her intelligence, thus constitution +1.

"Cough cough, let’s all go and collect bird eggs. If we feed this creature enough, we might get some clues from it!"

Gu Qingqiu suggested.

"Aren’t you sending everyone to their death?"

Someone complained.

Those giant birds were too vicious, fiercely protective of their young. Just look at how the birds in the sky still hadn’t left; they were already this aggressively vengeful while their eggs hadn’t even been stolen yet. If they lost their eggs, they would probably become relentless.

Gu Qingqiu ignored them, turned her head, and glanced at Lin Baici.

Lin Baici spread his hands.

"What charade are you all playing?"
