This scholar is a bit cruel

Chapter 279 The Human-Headed Monster Bird
That wretched girl!
Luo Zijun immediately flashed out of the window and covered her mouth as the other person ran towards the small door and was about to shout a second time!

Then he grabbed her by the back of the neck, dragged her back to the room, and threw her on the ground.

"If you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll cut your tongue out!"

Luo Zijun threatened him fiercely.

Fenfen glanced at the two men on the ground, then immediately covered her eyes with her hands, crying, "Waaah, young master, third young lady, I didn't see anything! Please don't kill me to cover it up..."

Bai Qingtong, standing to the side: "..."

"Ignore her."

Fearing that things might get complicated if things dragged on, Luo Zijun took out a knife, went over and grasped her sister-in-law's finger, and gently cut it, drawing blood.

Bai Qingtong exclaimed in surprise, "Ah!"

Luo Zijun quickly took out the porcelain bottle and placed it under her fingers.

Pinky's ears twitched as she peeked through her fingers.

Luo Zijun carefully collected the blood before kicking her and saying, "Look carefully, what I want is the blood from the Third Miss's finger, not from anywhere else."

Fenfen lowered her hands, blinked her bright eyes, and looked at him, asking, "Young Master, what kind of places are the other places?"

Bai Qingtong, who was standing to the side, also looked at him.

Luo Zijun pinched her pink and tender cheek and said, "Other places, this is the place."

As she spoke, she pinched him hard again.

Pinky immediately screamed in agony.

Luo Zijun dragged her out and threw her into the corridor, threatening, "If you dare to go back and talk nonsense, you'll be sorry tonight!"

Pinky covered her face and ran away, whimpering.

Bai Qingtong chimed in, "Brother-in-law is amazing! That girl Fenfen is fearless, yet you managed to tame her. How did you manage to subdue her?"

It's clearly a rhetorical question.

Luo Zijun said, "One word: hit; two words: hit hard; three words: hit fiercely."

Paper Kite and Little Ring, who were standing nearby, both chuckled and covered their mouths.

Bai Qingtong chatted with Luo Zijun for a while longer before taking her leave.

Luo Zijun ate a quick lunch and then returned to the backyard to continue practicing her fist techniques. At the same time, she channeled her soul power to practice her object manipulation skills.

The sun set quickly.

As night fell, Luo Zijun was practicing her disguise technique in front of the mirror in her room when a soft sound suddenly came from the wooden door in the courtyard.

Someone is pushing the wooden door.

But before nightfall, he had already gone over and bolted the wooden door shut.

It's obviously that girl, Fenfen, again.

That girl is always saying one thing and meaning another; she can't wait.

Luo Zijun ignored him and continued cultivating.

The outside quickly quieted down.

The third watch.

His soul left his body, flew onto the roof, and looked at the courtyard next door.

Pinky is no longer here; she must have gone back to her room.

The entire mansion was completely silent.

Luo Zijun flew to the back garden and waited for about fifteen minutes before the Moon Palace Fairy finally arrived and landed in front of him.

"Fairy, the mission is complete."

Luo Zijun took out a porcelain bottle and handed it to her.

The Moon Palace Fairy glanced at him, took the porcelain bottle, uncorked it, sniffed it, then glanced at him again, said nothing, and walked towards the underground entrance.

“Can I use it?”

Luo Zijun followed and asked.

The Moon Palace Fairy put away the porcelain bottle and still ignored him, appearing even colder than last night.

"Is he in a bad mood again?"

Luo Zijun secretly made a guess.

"Shh!"

A beam of light appeared.

The two quickly arrived underground and headed towards the ghost realm ahead.

As they reached the bridge, the Moon Palace Fairy coldly said, "I cannot guarantee that the flying sword will be successfully forged."

Luo Zijun said, "It's alright. Nothing can be 100% successful, let alone something like crafting magical artifacts."

The Moon Palace Fairy suddenly looked at him and said, "The main problem is that none of the three parts of essence blood you collected are the best."

Luo Zijun was taken aback, her face full of confusion: "What is the best?"

The Moon Palace Fairy let out a soft hum, but did not answer; her figure looked exceptionally cold.

Luo Zijun followed behind, her mind filled with doubt.

After passing through the tunnel, as he prepared to continue towards the secluded valley, the Moon Palace Fairy suddenly said, "Come with me tonight; you should go hunting elsewhere."

Upon hearing this, Luo Zijun was overjoyed and asked, "Can we hunt those monsters tonight? I don't have a flying sword right now, is that alright?"

The Moon Palace Fairy said, "If you are afraid, you don't have to go."

Luo Zijun didn't say anything more and immediately followed behind. The two quickly crossed a barren black land and arrived at a mountain forest full of low trees.

In the mountains and forests, a cold wind blew in gusts, its howling sound rising and falling.

Luo Zijun carefully observed the low trees around her and found that although the shape of the trunks, branches and leaves of these trees was not much different from the trees outside, they looked gray and lifeless.

At the same time, when the cold wind blew, the branches and leaves seemed to be tentacles, twisting and swaying.

There was no rustling sound as the leaves swayed.

Apart from the wailing sounds coming from somewhere all around, the entire dark forest was deathly silent, as if there were no living creatures at all.

Of course, there were no real living creatures here to begin with.

"Gah-"

Just then, a hoarse cry suddenly came from above.

Luo Zijun looked up and saw a strange black-feathered bird with a wingspan of about five meters flying overhead, its cold, emerald-green eyes gleaming.

Are there birds in the ghost realm?
Ghost Bird?

As Luo Zijun looked up, she suddenly felt a gust of cold wind flying from her right side at an extremely fast speed!

"Shh!"

Without any hesitation, he immediately dodged in a flash.

At the same time, a dark shadow flashed past the spot where he had just stood, its claws sharp as knives, slicing into a tree on his left with a "bang".

Luo Zijun then realized that it was a monster with a human head and a bird's body!

The monster's head was completely bald, with small, scarlet eyes that gleamed with a chilling light. It had a high, pointed nose and a split mouth that revealed two sharp, blood-red fangs at the corners of its mouth.

Its entire body is covered in black feathers, and its two sharp claws are long and large, almost bigger than its body.

At this moment, its two sharp claws had already deeply pierced into the tree trunk.

It turned its head, its scarlet and cold eyes staring at him menacingly. On the two blood-red fangs at the corner of its mouth, a few drops of green liquid shimmered with an eerie light, clearly containing deadly poison.

"Fairy, what is this... um?"

Luo Zijun suddenly realized that the Moon Palace Fairy who was just in front of her had disappeared without her noticing.

It seems we've left him here again, just like last time.

However, this place is clearly much more dangerous than the secluded valley we visited last time.

Luo Zijun clearly sensed that the monster that had ambushed her was not weak and was very fast.

He immediately took a step back, activated his soul power, and prepared for battle.

"Gah-"

Just then, the cry of that strange black-feathered bird suddenly came from above again.

The black-feathered bird turned back and suddenly opened its sharp claws, swooping down towards him!

As soon as Luo Zijun looked up, the strange bird with a human head perched on the tree seized the opportunity and shot towards him!

It turns out these two strange birds were hunting together!
Without hesitation, Luo Zijun immediately threw a punch at the first human-headed bird that pounced on her. The soul power she had been accumulating exploded out, producing a deafening bang.

"boom!"

The monstrous bird with a human head was knocked away with a single punch.

The sharp, piercing sound of something tearing through the air overhead was already close by. Luo Zijun rolled on the ground and landed under a tree. Without looking back, she ran straight towards the dense forest ahead.

The black-feathered bird that swooped down from mid-air missed its target with one claw, leaving several marks on the ground with its sharp claws before flapping its wings and flying back up.

Meanwhile, the strange bird with a human head leaped rapidly through the trees, chasing after Luo Zijun.

Luo Zijun glanced back and noticed that the human-headed bird seemed unable to fly and could only hop from tree to tree. Its strong leg muscles bulged, making it look very powerful.

It was very fast, even more agile than a monkey, and quickly caught up with Luo Zijun.

Unable to shake off the threat, Luo Zijun ran a few steps quickly, then suddenly leaped up and darted toward a large tree in front of her. With a light touch of her toes on the trunk, her body turned around with a "whoosh" and flew backward!

At that moment, the monstrous bird with a human head behind him leaped up from a large tree and pounced on him!
"Bah!"

Just as the person and the bird were rapidly approaching, Luo Zijun suddenly let out a loud shout!
A terrifying and soul-shaking technique!
The loud shout struck the human-headed bird like a thunderclap, suddenly resounding in its head!

The human-headed bird froze for a moment, its scarlet pupils revealing a fleeting look of terror and confusion.

Right now!

Luo Zijun seized the opportunity and suddenly punched its bald head!
"boom!"

A bang!
The bald head of the human-headed bird suddenly made a crisp sound and dented.

Its body jolted, and it plummeted straight down from mid-air, crashing heavily to the ground.

It twitched a few times on the ground, spread its wings as if trying to jump up again, but Luo Zijun had already landed and, with a "boom," punched it on the head again.

This time, its already dented bald head was instantly shattered, and it died!
"Gah-"

Just then, the black-feathered bird overhead passed through the canopy of the nearby trees and swooped down.

However, when it saw its companion on the ground, its head smashed and dead, it hardly hesitated. With a flap of its wings, it immediately drew an arc in the air and flew up rapidly, quickly disappearing into the sky.

The monstrous bird with a human head on the ground, though dead, was still flapping its wings from time to time, seemingly dying with its eyes wide open.

Luo Zijun clenched her fist and immediately punched its body again.

At this moment, a dark shadow inside the human-headed bird suddenly shattered. Then, the bird's entire body rapidly shrank, turning into a cloud of black mist, which vanished without a trace when blown away by a cold wind.

at the same time.

Luo Zijun immediately felt a surge of unfamiliar energy rapidly entering her body.
