Chapter 17 My Favorite Food is Animal Milk
"Eeya, Grandpa Chief, we're back!" The little one, holding Shi Zhao's hand, blinked his big eyes and called out from afar.
An elderly man with white hair and beard, weathered by life, walked out of a courtyard built of huge stones at the entrance of the village. He had a faint smile on his face, but his pupils shrank when he saw a few unusual figures among the group of children.
Especially the girl in the lead, even though she looked young and had a bit of a travel-worn air about her, she still couldn't hide her extraordinary temperament and charm.
These are children that no ordinary large tribe could produce. Even the offspring of a super tribe with tens of millions of people or even some kings and nobles might not be able to compare.
Then, he saw a tall old man gazing at the village's spirit in the distance, which made him even more uneasy. Fortunately, these people did not seem to be hostile.
"Little one's back! Come on, Grandpa just made you some animal milk, drink it all." Shi Yunfeng waved to Xiao Shihao, then asked, "Our village hasn't had any outsiders for a long time. May I ask where you've come from?"
Little Shihao's appetite was whetted, and he subconsciously wanted to go back to the yard to drink some sweet and delicious animal milk, but he quickly stopped, as if he had thought of something.
He took Shi Zhao's hand, looked up, and said in a clear voice, "Miss, let's go drink Beast Milk Crow together~"
Shi Zhao smiled, let go of his hand, and let him drink his favorite animal milk first. Then he slowly walked towards the old man whose expression was somewhat solemn.
She quickly explained her purpose, directly revealing the little one's identity and background, and describing in detail the appearance of Shi Ziling and Qin Yining, as well as their relationship.
"It seems you really are Little One's older sister," Shi Yunfeng exclaimed.
Entering the Great Wilderness is no easy feat. Even with an astonishing background and formidable strength, they will inevitably face numerous hardships and trials. Adding the difficulty of finding others makes it even more challenging.
"Absolutely genuine!" Shi Zhao nodded, then said, "Grandpa Clan Chief... I'll call you that too, just like Xiao Hao."
"We are also members of the Stone Clan, so you need not worry about anything. At least we came with good intentions, simply to find that child."
"So you're going to take Little One away? He survived such severe injuries back then, I knew he was extraordinary," Shi Yunfeng asked.
Shi Zhao shook his head, glanced at Xiao Shi who had run out carrying a small bowl, and said softly, "It's enough to see that he's living well here. It's not time for him to return yet."
Clan Chief Shi Yunfeng frowned slightly. He was not an ignorant country bumpkin; he had traveled to the Great Wilderness and could guess some of the reasons.
"Sister, drink some animal milk~" Little Stone ran over with a bowl in his hand.
"Hmm, you're a good girl. I'll treat you to something delicious too." Shi Zhao didn't disappoint this small gesture and didn't complain at all. She took the small bowl and drank the whole bowl of animal milk.
Then, with a flick of her wrist, she magically produced several spirit fruits, bright red, about the size of goose eggs, emitting an enticing fragrance.
"Wow, what a fragrant fruit!" Little Stone's big, bright eyes darted around as he reached out his delicate white hand to take the spiritual fruit, but he didn't eat it right away.
Instead, swallowing hard, he first handed it to Shi Zhao and the old clan chief like a treasure, and then frowned as he thought about how to share it with his friends.
"Little one is a good child." The clan chief patted Little Stone's head.
"Thanks to your meticulous care," Shi Zhao said with some emotion. Perhaps only in this simple and kind village could Xiao Shi have developed such a pure and loyal character.
She chuckled softly, untied the small pouch at her waist, and took out all sorts of snacks, including some fruits rich in spiritual energy gathered along the way, as well as many exquisite pastries and other foods rarely seen in the Great Wilderness.
The purse looks small, no bigger than the palm of your hand, but it contains a lot of space inside, like a magic bag, and food put inside will hardly spoil and can be preserved for a long time.
She had Aman and Xiaoqingfeng distribute the snacks, and soon the two of them were playing happily with the children of Shicun.
Other villagers from Shicun also came upon hearing the news.
Upon learning that they were also members of the Stone Clan, I immediately felt much closer to them.
Many women held Shi Zhao's hand and kept saying how beautiful the girl was, making even the seasoned and experienced Shi Zhao feel a little overwhelmed.
At this point, some men, while snatching food from their own children, learned that these mischievous kids had actually raided the nest of the Green-scaled Eagle.
Upon seeing the three bird eggs under the altar at the village entrance, I was immediately filled with dread.
"Two arrows wounded the Azure-Scaled Eagle?!" A group of people exclaimed in surprise as they surrounded Shi Zhao.
"It's not that I shot it, it's just that I didn't want to kill it. Grandpa said that Miss could actually kill the Azure Scaled Eagle with just one arrow!" Xiao Qingfeng stepped forward to defend it.
Everyone gasped in shock; this woman was terrifying!
"Oh dear, it's pitiful that the Azure-Scaled Eagle lost its offspring. We stole its eggs first, and it's so mean of us to hurt it. I wonder if it will forgive us if we return the eggs," Little Stone said softly, blinking its big eyes.
Three jade bird eggs, each the size of a water basin, were crystal clear, dotted with patterns, and shimmering with beautiful fluorescence. The mysterious power of the runes permeated the air, and they radiated divine light, making them look extraordinary.
"He'll definitely forgive her. If he doesn't forgive her, I'll beat him until he does." After standing at the village entrance for a long time, Fourth Grandfather finally came to his senses and looked at Xiao Shi with affection in his eyes.
Born with supreme power, he suffered a tragic change, losing his supreme bone and being critically injured. After struggling to survive, he was separated from his parents. How innocent and miserable he was.
The little boy quickly shook his head. That would be too bad. He was a kind and good child!
Before long, the Azure-Scaled Eagle indeed followed the trail and stood on a boulder outside the village. Its scales shone brightly, and its sharp, cold eyes stared intently at the village.
The villagers decided to try sending the eggs out, as they didn't want to trouble the guests who had come from afar, since Shi Zhao and the others would eventually leave.
You should solve the trouble you caused yourself, and never rely on others. Even the guardian spirits of the village will not be easily asked to help.
In the vast wilderness, only self-reliance is the way to survive.
Just as they made a move, the old willow tree, its trunk completely charred black, next to the altar of the chieftain's stone house, suddenly stirred. Only one willow branch drooped down like a shimmering divine chain, gently brushing against an egg, instantly making it even more mystical.
Everyone was stunned.
Fourth Master also became nervous, but Shi Zhao showed no fear and instead went closer to examine him closely.
This was a being who could be considered a giant even among the Immortal Kings, but after experiencing tribulations, he was reborn in the lower realm.
Although he is now extremely weak and even his memories are fragmented, his essence remains unchanged.
Outside the village, the blue-scaled eagle stared blankly, unable to believe that one of its children had undergone such a primal mutation, and desperately wanted to rush in and take a closer look.
But upon seeing the willow tree, they felt an instinctive fear and dared not approach, instead chirping urgently from outside.
"Let's return the eggs," said clan chief Shi Yunfeng.
Shi Zhao directly delivered the three bird eggs to the village entrance and placed them on the grass, using his mental power to convey his intentions and show that he had no hostility.
When the blue-scaled eagle saw her, its scales and feathers stood on end. Realizing there was no danger, it swooped down instantly, spreading its wings to protect the three eggs. It stared intently at the egg that was now completely different and let out a long cry of excitement.
It took a long time before it raised its head, the fierce glint in its eyes long gone, and then it pushed all three eggs back.
The villagers were all stunned. What was wrong with this featherless eagle?
"It saw an egg mutate and would become far more powerful than itself in the future, so it wanted to leave its offspring here, hoping to obtain greater fortune," Shi Zhao explained.
"Take them. From now on, these three young birds can be used to guard the village. The Blue-scaled Eagle will also hunt and bring them blood food, so you don't need to worry about feeding them."
"What? Such a good thing?" a villager exclaimed.
