Mighty Lord

Chapter 1329: Chapter 514_2

As a result, for various reasons, Zhou Tian who had always been cautious not to reveal his whereabouts, found himself unavoidably becoming a target at that time. Despite his continuous flying in the sky, Zhou Tian’s actions did indeed have some effect.

In this world, none of the living beings were weak; based on the strength of those beings, if Zhou Tian had carefully hidden, it could have been almost certain that those beings would absolutely not have been able to find him. However, in the case where Zhou Tian inadvertently exposed himself or even actively made himself a target, as long as they were not too far from Zhou Tian, it would have been very easy for those creatures to discover him.

As expected, there was no accident.

With Zhou Tian intentionally luring them, before he detected the combat among those creatures, he had already caught the attention of a group of indigenous creatures at that time.

However, evidently, tactics like Zhou Tian’s were hard to control the progression of events. Although it was true that Zhou Tian’s method did indeed "catch fish," the "fish" he caught turned out to be somewhat larger than expected.

Originally intending to catch a goldfish, he didn’t expect that what was hooked in the end was a whale. While Zhou Tian was continuously flying in the sky at that time, it was indeed quickly noticed by the creatures of that world. However, Zhou Tian, when making that decision, did not anticipate that while he was flying in the sky, what he had attracted were not one or two indigenous creatures but rather a large flock of birds that looked like magpies. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

Except for their color being blue, those creatures truly resembled Earth’s magpies. However, upon seeing those magpies, Zhou Tian dared not be careless. Almost as soon as he noticed the existence of those magpies, he immediately showed an expression of displeasure.

No matter how harmless they appeared, Zhou Tian did not believe that this world had such harmless creatures. Even a rabbit in this world could become a Warcraft controlling lightning, so Zhou Tian did not believe that the magpies he saw were merely an easy prey handed over to him.

It was certain that as long as they were creatures of this world, no matter how underestimated, they certainly possessed a certain combat ability. As long as they had some understanding of certain rules, fighting against them would not be so easy for Zhou Tian.

If it had been just one or two magpies, Zhou Tian might have tried to combat them. But the number of magpies he had attracted was large, and facing such enemies, Zhou Tian was not very keen to engage in combat.

Of course, the reason for that thought was partly due to the size of those magpies; at least the two creatures he had encountered initially had some meat, and if Zhou Tian had hunted them, given a human’s food intake, Zhou Tian could have eaten for a day or two. But with this flock of magpies, even disregarding whether they were difficult to hunt, if Zhou Tian had actually managed to kill this group of magpies, the small amount of meat they provided would not have been very useful.

Because his mind was influenced by this thought and despite the constant hunger pangs from his stomach, Zhou Tian ultimately did not choose to strike at them but hesitated for a moment before deciding to turn around and leave.

Regardless of how harmless that flock of magpies appeared at that time, Zhou Tian, because of their numbers, lacked the inclination to combat them. Furthermore, given their small size relative to Zhou Tian’s considerable appetite, they naturally lacked any attraction.

However, just as Zhou Tian was preparing to leave, he did not anticipate that the magpies at that time had no intention of letting him go.

Zhou Tian somewhat underestimated the speed of those magpies. In Zhou Tian’s view, although he was not skilled at speed, compared to most beings of comparable strength, his speed was rather good, thanks to his Time Ability. Thus, even if he might not be able to defeat the flock of magpies, if he did not wish to fight them, he believed that there was no way for the magpies to do anything about it.

However, just as Zhou Tian formed that thought in his mind, those magpies directly shattered Zhou Tian’s delusion with their actions.

Before engaging in combat, Zhou Tian could not fully understand the level of the opponents. But just as he was about to retreat, the performance of those magpies informed Zhou Tian that they possessed an absolutely superior speed ability, which made fleeing under their watch almost an impossible task. Conversely, if those magpies wanted to flee, Zhou Tian would probably find it difficult to keep them from escaping.

As a result, just as Zhou Tian was preparing to retreat, the flock of magpies suddenly increased their flying speed. Ultimately, not long after Zhou Tian had left the spot, the path was directly blocked by the flock of magpies at that time.

At the moment when his path was blocked by the magpies, Zhou Tian’s expression became quite sour. Because he did not wish to engage in combat, he had chosen to retreat at that time. He had not expected that he wanted to retreat but his opponents would not give him the chance. Now, being blocked by the flock of magpies, Zhou Tian knew that whether he liked it or not, at this moment he must engage in combat.
