Martial Arts Crossover: My master tricked Huang Rong into becoming my wife!

Under the dappled moonlight, the enormous dark shadow finally revealed its true form.

It was a giant bird.

Its size was even more terrifying than the strange snake from before, and it was more than a person tall when it stood up.

This bird was extremely ugly, with sparse and scattered feathers, as if it had contracted some kind of pellagra. On its head was a bald lump of flesh that gleamed with an oily red glow under the moonlight.

Its two thick, powerful claws, as if cast from refined iron, stomped on the decaying leaves, producing a teeth-grinding scraping sound.

At that moment, the ugly bird tilted its head and tapped the head of the dead snake with its huge, hook-like beak.

"Thump, thump".

The sound was dull, like striking rotten leather.

Once it was sure the serpent beneath its feet was still, the ugly bird let out a mocking "coo" sound from its throat, then raised its massive claw, powerful enough to split rocks and shatter stone, and casually tossed the snake's corpse aside as if kicking away trash.

Huang Rong froze as she stared at the monster that had fallen from the sky.

Emerging from the wolf's den only to fall into the tiger's mouth, how come this desolate wilderness is full of such cunning beasts? If that snake wanted to eat a person, this ugly bird probably could chew even the bone fragments to pieces.

She instinctively held her breath, her fingers digging tightly into the soil, barely daring to breathe.

However, Chen Yanzhou, who was standing in front of her, reacted quite differently.

The moment Chen Yanzhou saw the ugly bird's true form, the wariness in his eyes vanished instantly, replaced by joy.

This is the legendary Divine Condor that accompanied Dugu Qiubai through the rest of his life and later taught Yang Guo how to practice swordsmanship!

It’s not a waste of time to break through the iron shoes.

He fed mosquitoes by the Han River for five days, thinking he would have to go deeper into the mountains for another ten days or so, but unexpectedly, this treasure came to him on its own.

However, this eagle is a bit bald.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Chen Yanzhou suddenly burst into laughter, the sound of which seemed particularly abrupt in the quiet forest.

Huang Rong was startled by the sudden laughter and trembled all over. Before she could react, she felt darkness in front of her.

Chen Yanzhou suddenly turned around, scooped her up from the ground, and gave her a tight hug.

"Lucky star! You're such a lucky star!"

Chen Yanzhou patted Huang Rong's thin back forcefully, so excited he was almost incoherent, "If you hadn't run off, how could we have found this place so quickly? I knew bringing you along was the right thing to do!"

Huang Rong was so choked she almost passed out.

Her eyes widened as she felt the violent tremors emanating from Chen Yanzhou's chest, and only one thought crossed her mind—this man has gone mad.

They were absolutely terrified.

First a giant snake, then a strange bird—these successive frights would be too much even for a man of iron.

"You...you let me go!"

Huang Rong struggled fiercely, pushing against Chen Yanzhou's chest with both hands, even shaking his head. "Chen Yanzhou! Wake up! That's a monster! A man-eating monster! Are you scared out of your wits?"

"Foolish? I'm perfectly clear-headed!"

Chen Yanzhou released his grip, his hands now clinging to Huang Rong's slender shoulders. His smile was almost blindingly bright. "That was an incredible stroke of luck! A phenomenal stroke of luck! You don't understand, this ugly bird is a treasure!"

Seeing the gleam in his eyes, Huang Rong felt even more flustered.

That's it, it's completely over.

His only hope had also gone mad. In this desolate wilderness, with neither internal strength nor the support of a madman, he was likely to perish here tonight.

Just as the two were struggling, the eagle on the other side seemed to have also been attracted by the commotion.

It turned its enormous head, its sharp eyes, devoid of any beastly savagery, and quietly scrutinized the two humans.

Instead of baring its fangs or letting out a menacing growl like a typical wild beast, it slightly folded its wings and let out a low, gentle cry from its throat.

"Gurgle—"

Then, it gently flapped its somewhat tattered wings.

A gentle breeze swept by, carrying not a fishy stench, but rather the unique fragrance of grass and trees found in the mountains and forests.

It was an extremely human gesture, as if it were a greeting or a gesture of goodwill.

Seeing this, Chen Yanzhou's smile deepened.

He released Huang Rong and then walked straight toward the enormous creature.

"Hey! What are you doing!"

Huang Rong was terrified. She reached out to grab him, but grasped only air. "Are you out of your mind? That's a beast! It will eat you!"

Chen Yanzhou didn't even turn his head, just casually waved his hand: "Don't worry, this is a eagle, very particular, it doesn't eat people."

Huang Rong was stunned.

Brother Eagle?

This person is truly insane; he actually calls a hairy beast his brother.

Chen Yanzhou stopped three steps away from the Divine Condor, neither getting too close to arouse suspicion nor showing the slightest fear.

"Brother Eagle."

The Divine Eagle tilted its head, as if it understood his words, and a hint of humanity flashed in its eyes.

It ignored Chen Yanzhou, turned around, and aimed its sharp, massive beak at the snake carcass on the ground once more.

"Pfft!"

A soft sound.

The snakeskin, as tough as iron, was as fragile as paper under the eagle's beak, and was instantly sliced ​​open. The eagle moved with incredible speed, its massive beak probing and flicking precisely into the snake's belly.

It forcefully picked out a snake gallbladder, about the size of a fist, purplish-black in color, and still slightly pulsating.

An extremely strong fishy smell instantly filled the air.

The eagle, with the snake gall in its mouth, turned its head and looked at Chen Yanzhou.

The next second, it suddenly shook its head.

"Whoosh!"

The purplish-black snake gall bladder sliced ​​through the air, carrying a foul stench, and headed straight for Chen Yanzhou's face.

Chen Yanzhou didn't even blink. He raised his hand and caught the snake gall in his palm.

It was warm to the touch and extremely slippery.

The stench assaulted the nostrils, making one's head ache, but in Chen Yanzhou's eyes, it was nothing like a foul-smelling substance; it was clearly a powerful tonic to enhance internal strength!

In the original story, Yang Guo's internal strength improved rapidly after eating the gallbladder of the Bodhi snake. This creature lives deep in the mountains and absorbs the essence of the sun and moon year after year, making it a rare treasure in the world.

"Thank you, Brother Eagle!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Yanzhou tilted his head back, opened his mouth, and stuffed the fist-sized snake gall into his mouth.

"Gurgle."

Adam's apple bobbed.

The snake gallbladder was quite large, and it was a bit choking.

"vomit……"

Seeing this scene, Huang Rong, who was standing not far away, turned pale instantly, her stomach churned, and she almost vomited on the spot.

"You...you actually ate it?" Huang Rong covered her mouth, taking two steps back in disgust, as if Chen Yanzhou were now reeking of snakes. "That's disgusting!"

At this moment, Chen Yanzhou rolled his eyes, his mouth filled with a fishy smell, his stomach churning, and he couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Damn, this fishy smell is too strong! How did Yang Guo manage to eat it?
