Daily Life in the Countryside After Being Reborn-Chapter 265 - 45: Legends of Abundance

The silver fish living in these waters, also known as silver spine fish, are unique to this riverbank area.

This type of fish has transparent flesh with a silver thread along its backbone. It usually feeds on aquatic fish and the remnants of decaying corpses. Its backbone is hard and flexible, and its body is flat and small, making it almost impossible for ordinary fishing nets to catch.

Dozens of silver spine fish can devour a water-drinking goat weighing over ten kilograms by the riverbank, not to mention thousands of maggot-like silver spine fish.

"Little Pig" had been eating a lot and exercising little over the years, becoming as round as a ball. When it pounced on the silver spine fish, it resembled a water balloon falling from a great height. Yezi watched with trepidation and, without concern for being on the riverbank, desperately wanted to rescue "Little Pig."

"Chirp chirp," Little Pig’s wings fluttered incessantly. With each flap, its body color became a shade redder, looking like a slowly burning red orb. Barely touching the water, its ball-like body plunged in fiercely.

In an instant, the surface of the water boiled as if a high-temperature bomb had been dropped, exploding with a "bang," turning the silver ripples into a blanket of steamy white vapor.

Hundreds of silver spine fish, directly cooked by the intense heat emanating from Little Pig’s body, were blasted lifeless and fell onto the riverbank.

The scene resembled a family drying batches of fish.

Before Yezi could react, Little Pig had already emerged from the water. Before reaching the shore, it elegantly shook its wings and pecked a silver spine fish, swallowing it whole.

"Little Pig," Yezi picked it up by its wings and looked it over from all angles, "Am I dreaming, or have you become so formidable?"

"Chirp chirp," Little Pig proudly lifted its head.

"Stop chirping; there’s a monster over there," Yezi pressed down Little Pig’s head, gripping its short wings.

What kind of monster could be stranger than itself? The cosmic, invincible Illusion Phoenix, "Little Pig" turned its bird head and glanced at that not-too-ornate giant stone.

At that glance, "Little Pig’s" feathers all stood on end. Yezi thought it was scared and stroked its head, "Don’t be afraid, I’m here."

"Chirp chirp chirp chirp..." After a series of chirps, "Little Pig" spread its turkey wings and flew towards the giant stone.

The posture and speed were unlike anything Yezi had ever seen.

"Come back, Little Pig, it eats people," Yezi was both anxious and scared, watching as Little Pig already landed on the giant stone. He couldn’t care less at this point and risked death to approach the stone.

"Gobble gobble." Another series of strange bird calls, but it wasn’t Little Pig that made them, it was the giant stone. When the stone made those sounds, it was like crying or expressing emotion.

"Chirp chirp"

"Gobble gobble"

"Chirp chirp chirp"

"Gobble gobble gobble"

Back and forth, the strange exchange continued for a while. Yezi, who had been holding back in fear, began to make sense of this bizarre communication. What’s happening, could it be that Little Pig knew this stone from long ago? freeωebnovēl.c૦m

Dawn was breaking at the edge of the sky, the moon had set, and the sun from the east was rising, alternating the sky between dark and light.

Yezi sat cross-legged on the riverbank, trying to look normally at Little Pig and the giant stone, who were still communicating.

His pet of several years had abandoned its owner to chirp and gobble with a stone, leaving him ignored like a stranger, which didn’t sit well with Yezi.

"Hmmph, boy. Didn’t you say you were going to find me something to eat? Go into the forest and pick some wild fruits," the conversation finally ended. Little Pig perched on the giant stone, scrupulously cleaning away weeds and dirt with its beak and feet. Its diligence was starkly different from the image of the lazy, fat bird that slept in Miao Village with its belly round and claws up to the sky.

"Little Pig, come back," Yezi gestured. It seemed that the giant stone had no more ill will towards him but he couldn’t be sure if it would let him leave.

Little Pig lifted its "chicken butt," wagging it as a sign for him not to come closer.

"Have you gone mad? In just one night, you’re all cozy with that stone. I’ve raised you for nothing. Come here, or I’ll roast you into chicken wings," Yezi was frustrated, yet he dared not get close to the stone.

"Illusion Phoenix is much smarter than you. Forget it, you resemble a younger version of myself; I will teach you properly. Go to the forest and fetch some fruits. This season, there should be plenty of ripe wild fruits in the woods. After I have eaten my fill, I will tell you about Illusion Phoenix and me. Enter the forest and about three to four hundred meters up a tree, there’s a wasp’s nest. The sting on your neck will be fine once you apply some of the honey from inside it." The giant stone’s voice sounded a bit hoarse, having not spoken so much at one time in many years, nor had it encountered a speaking person for a long time.
