The Beautiful Boss's Personal Bodyguard
Chapter 570 - 569

Chapter 570: 569

The bonfire had already weakened, but that corpse seemed to have grown stronger; its stiff limbs began to try to move, the mud at the joints falling to the ground, making a crackling sound mixed with some stones.

Go to hell!

With a wave of his right hand, Ye Tian directed his Sword Qi, shredding everything in its path; the poor ancient corpse that had just crawled out from underground was thus diagonally cleaved from head to toe into two halves.

Ye Tian didn’t believe this bird was only interested in an ordinary stone. There must be some secret hidden. He walked over and tried pushing the stone, but the imagined mechanism did not appear; the stone remained a stone, the wall remained a wall, no door opened, nor did any national treasure appear.

"You little bird, you couldn’t really just be playing with me, could you?"

The green bird fluttered its wings and perched on the stone, hopping around, seemingly unable to believe the stone remained immovable. Sadly, the stone indeed did not move at all.

Just then, the hurricane struck again.

Ye Tian could feel it; this time, his opponent was really going for the kill, otherwise, they wouldn’t have mustered such a great force.

The strength of the Black-armored Master lay not in himself but in his ability to mobilize inanimate objects to take action, much like the two hands he had just summoned from the stone wall and the ancient soldiers of death he had drilled out from the ground. However, the layer of Black Armor he wore was something no one could ignore.

Ye Tian quickly retreated, the Three Feet Golden Light ruthlessly struck down, and the Black-armored Master didn’t take it head-on. Initially, Bodhi was killed by this very move; with his own cultivation being mediocre, it was best not to provoke misfortune.

However, the Black Armor worn by the Black-armored Master truly was a masterpiece combining both Buddha Path and Taoist Sect. Despite being hit by the golden light on the shoulder, it didn’t really hinder him; his body just shook slightly. Seeing Ye Tian’s strength seemed nothing special, the Black-armored Master’s contempt surged, and he charged headlong without hesitation.

The cave was dimly lit; the only pile of bonfire was feeble under the chilly wind, only casting faint, sporadic shadows on the stone walls.

Suddenly, a long cry broke the stalemate of the battlefield; Ye Tian only saw an arrow flying through the air, then the Black-armored Master suddenly froze on the spot, not moving anymore, while the summoned ancient soldiers of death also stood frozen above the ground, their bodies halfway out of the earth before slowly retreating back down until completely disappearing underground.

What was going on?

The scene before him started to brighten and clarify, not just the bonfire, but all the rocky walls and stones became clear. And the Black-armored Master, with a huge hole through his chest, was also seen clearly. Although Ye Tian was not sure what was happening, he knew he shouldn’t miss this chance, not taking his head now would be unbearable!

The Three Feet Golden Light unsheathed, a head rolled down; Ye Tian, unwilling to let it go, stepped on it again, not stopping until he saw the entire head explode. Only then did Ye Tian nod in satisfaction. The green bird next to him covered its eyes with its wings, as if it couldn’t bear to watch.

Ye Tian cursed loudly, "You damn bird, acting all high and mighty!"

Ye Tian realized that this bird was indeed no ordinary creature.

There were no other living creatures in this cave, excluding the corpses on the ground. That meant the hole in the chest of the Black-armored Master was indeed caused by this Little Green Bird.

Ye Tian stretched out a finger horizontally in the air and whistled toward the green bird, "Come here." The bird obediently landed on his finger. Ye Tian grabbed it and examined it thoroughly, trying to find something special on its body. After inspecting for a long time and even glancing at its butt twice, he found nothing special. He even thought about checking its private parts, but the green bird gave him a disdainful look, stretched its legs, and played dead on his palm. Ye Tian tossed it into the air, and it then flapped its wings and flew up.

"Look at you, how are you going to find a mate in the future!"

The green bird rolled its eyelids, clearly unimpressed, probably having heard too much from Ye Tian about finding a mate, and now it seemed to look down on Ye Tian for his lack of ambition and obsession with finding a mate.

Ye Tian couldn’t be bothered to argue about this and just walked toward the rock they had found earlier. After all this effort, they couldn’t just leave, especially since this bird was clearly not ordinary, and who knows, maybe another secret cavern with treasure awaited, making this trip worthwhile.

The cavern was dark and damp. When Ye Tian touched the stone, wet droplets fell, leaving his hand damp as well. Looking around the cave again, Ye Tian realized it wasn’t as horrific as he initially thought. The ground was covered with a thin layer of soft weeds, sparse but better than nothing, yet the thought of ancient warriors emerging from the ground spoiled this slight beauty.

"Why go trouble them for no reason? Be careful, or you’ll turn into a Corpse Bird trained to find bodies."

Glancing at the green bird unintentionally, the little fellow was still staring intently at the stone. Ye Tian had intended to just walk away, but seeing the bird repeatedly staring at the stone piqued his curiosity. Without hesitating further, Gang Qi flowed between his fingers, and with a wave of his hand, he completely shattered the rock. As small stones crumbled and fell, Ye Tian swiftly dodged a splintering piece. Before he could step forward to inspect, the green bird flew over excitedly and let out a joyful cry. Hearing this, Ye Tian rushed over, and a burst of green light shot out from the crevice in the mountain wall.

The green light flickered continuously because the green bird was fluttering in front of the light source.

Ye Tian pulled the green bird over to his shoulder to see where the light was coming from.

The light source was embedded in the stone wall, and not only the exterior but even the surrounding stone walls had turned somewhat green.

"There really is treasure here!"

Ye Tian clicked his tongue in admiration.

It was a bead embedded in the stone wall, emitting a green light, cold and elegant. The visible part was only about the size of a thumb tip, but the glowing green part beneath the stone wall hinted that the entire bead might be as big as a chicken egg.

The green bird flew off his shoulder and directly onto the bead,
