351: Chapter 351 Lady Shiji

Kunkun curled its lip, "What kind of kin? I, Lord Bird, am a unique existence in this world!"

"However, this silly bird's appearance is indeed strange, it wouldn't hurt to take a look..."

Thus, the two men and one bird followed behind the green bird.

The green bird turned into a spinning top, seemingly having no fixed route, weaving back and forth through the rocks.

Soon, it seemed to discover something, emitting an excited chirp, and then dug into the rocks even more vigorously.

Before long, a fist-sized, emerald-green crystal appeared in front of it.

"A wood spirit stone!" Wu Dalang perked up, "So it was digging for wood spirit stones!"

Kunkun moved, appearing beside the green bird.

"Hey! Little one! This stone, I, Lord Bird, am taking it!"

The green bird seemed a bit dull, staring blankly at the Fire Bird, muttering to itself.

"Lord Bird? There is actually a bird that dares to call itself a lord? Lady Shiji explicitly stated that all birds are her slaves..."

"What?!" This sentence made Kunkun go berserk, "What Lady Shiji? Where is she? Take Lord Bird there, and let her say that again in front of Lord Bird!"

At this moment, the green bird finally reacted, "You... you are not a Wood Spirit Bird? You are an outsider!"

"Damn it!" Kunkun slapped it on the head, "Lord Bird is so handsome, did you only just realize that I look different from you?"

Who would have thought, after this slap, the green Wood Spirit Bird stood frozen in place, two lines of tears slowly flowing from the corners of its eyes.

"Wuu wuu... everyone bullies us... Lady Shiji oppresses us, and you outsiders also come to bully us... wuu wuu wuu..."

This caught the Fire Bird completely off guard!

It scratched its head, "Well, tell me, how are you being oppressed?"

Upon hearing this, the Wood Spirit Bird's grievances instantly erupted.

"Our Wood Spirit Bird clan originally lived carefree in this mountain forest, how happy we were back then..."

"Until ten years ago, when an evil woman suddenly appeared, calling herself Lady Shiji!"

"She captured our entire clan, trapped us in this mountain belly, and demanded that we dig for wood spirit stones for her every day..."

"If the amount of Spirit Stones is insufficient, what awaits us is vicious punishment and death threats!"

"In just ten years, the number of our Wood Spirit Bird clan has dropped from over three thousand to just over one thousand!"

"Those who are still alive can only work hard digging mines every day in dark, damp, and stuffy passages. Many times, we are so exhausted that we foam at the mouth before we can rest..."

"Is it that miserable?" Kunkun blinked, "Then do you mean that this so-called Lady Shiji has a lot of wood spirit stones, right?"

The Wood Spirit Bird was slightly stunned, and quickly spoke up, "I advise you not to go and throw your lives away; Lady Shiji is a legendary Immortal King!"

"Yo, I didn't expect you little guy to have such a good heart..." The Fire Bird was a bit surprised, turning its head to look at Lin Bei, "Boss, an Immortal King, are we doing this?"

A smile curled on Lin Bei's lips, "Since it's your kin, even an Immortal Emperor must be dealt with!"

"Tch!" The Fire Bird retorted again, but it did not refuse Lin Bei's kindness.

Deep down, it also wanted to help the so-called Wood Spirit Bird clan in front of it...

"You... you really want to challenge Lady Shiji?!" The Wood Spirit Bird was still somewhat incredulous.

An Immortal King was already a supreme existence in its eyes.

"Why all the chatter? Lead the way!" Kunkun slapped it on the head again.

The Wood Spirit Bird gritted its teeth, decisively turned around, and dug in another direction, "Follow me!"

Watching its direction of travel, a smile flashed across Lin Bei's face, and he followed behind at a leisurely pace.

Half an hour later, the path ahead suddenly opened up, revealing a huge space.

This was the very center of the mountain's belly.

A stone chair several zhang wide floated in mid-air, with an enchanting woman lying on her side on top of it, appearing to be resting with her eyes closed.

In front of her, dozens of Wood Spirit Birds were obediently lined up in a long queue, one by one turning in the Spirit Stones they had dug up over the past few days.

Suddenly, the woman opened her eyes, and two whip shadows shot out from her eyes, lashing fiercely at the Wood Spirit Bird at the very front.

"In three days, you only dug up eight wood spirit stones. What use are you?"

"Cheep!" The Wood Spirit Bird let out a miserable cry, was thrown dozens of zhang away, and lay in a pool of blood without movement.

"Brother!" The Wood Spirit Bird, who had just emerged from the passage with Lin Bei and the others, was incensed, wailing as it rushed toward that Wood Spirit Bird.

The woman on the stone chair immediately noticed them, "Hehe, you actually found your way here so quickly? A bit interesting..."

Obviously, she had long known that more than fifty True Immortals had entered this mountain.

"You are that so-called Lady Shiji?" Kunkun stepped forward, "The little wench actually looks quite human..."

"Damn!" Lin Bei turned his head and glared at it, "Dead bird, you aren't interested in her, are you?"

"Screw that!" Kunkun rolled its eyes, "Boss, don't be so ridiculous. Would I be interested in a rock?"

"Eh?" Lin Bei was stunned, "You can see her true form?"

"Isn't she just a giant wood spirit stone that has gained sentience? Can't you tell?" the Fire Bird said, sounding a bit strange.

Lin Bei and Wu Dalang looked at each other with some surprise; they truly could not see the other's true form.

Yet the Fire Bird's cultivation was clearly lower than theirs, but it was able to do so.

Opposite them, Lady Shiji watched the two men and one bird talking as if no one else was around, and was already furious.

"Originally, seeing that you were sent in by the Seven Cities, I didn't intend to kill you. Now, you are seeking your own deaths!"

Lin Bei curled his lip, not bothering to waste words with her, and pulled out the moral seal, smashing it hard toward the stone chair.

As a Middle Stage Immortal King powerhouse, Lady Shiji didn't put the Early Stage True Immortal in her eyes at all, carelessly waving a palm toward the moral seal.

"Ahhh..." The next moment, a shrill scream echoed throughout the entire mountain belly.

One of her hands had already been smashed to pieces under the moral seal!

"You... you are not a True Immortal at all, you are an Immortal King! Shameless villain!" Lady Shiji was no longer enchanting, but let out a hysterical shriek.

"Im... Immortal King?" Hearing this, the Wood Spirit Birds present saw the ash-gray color in their eyes gradually fade, recovering some vitality.

They rushed to Lin Bei and begged incessantly, "My Lord, save us, please save our Wood Spirit Bird clan!"

"Step back!" Lin Bei waved his hand, moving all the Wood Spirit Birds behind him, and the moral seal in his hand smashed down again.

"You go too far! So what if you are an Immortal King?" Lady Shiji roared to the sky, her entire body suddenly growing to a hundred zhang in size.

At the same time, thousands of wood spirit stones of various sizes appeared beside her.

She opened her mouth and inhaled, and all the Spirit Stones flew into her mouth.

In an instant, her previous injuries were completely healed, and her shattered arm grew back again.

Even a jade sword condensed in her hand.

"Bang!"

The jade sword and the moral seal collided, and giant rocks kept falling throughout the mountain belly, creating a scene like the end of the world.

"Dong dong dong!" Lady Shiji retreated three steps in a row, and the jade sword in her hand shattered suddenly, but a new jade sword condensed again.

Lin Bei's body trembled slightly, and he also retreated one step, but a faint smile appeared on his lips, "As expected of an Immortal King, you really have some tricks..."

"Ka ka ka..." Perhaps because she had been in the same room with the Wood Spirit Birds for a long time, Lady Shiji actually emitted a shrill, bird-like laugh.

"I have plenty of Spirit Stones in my hands! Let's see who wears whom out first!"
