Chapter 57 Four-Hundred-And-Thirty-Five-Year-Old Crow?

Ye Xinghui looked up at the tree.

In addition to those shiny things hanging on the tree, he could see nine crows, one white and eight black!

The size of these black crows was two sizes larger than all the crows Ye Xinghui had seen before. As for the white crow, it was two sizes larger than the other eight crows.

Obviously, the food of these nine crows was much better than those of the smaller, thin crows.

Ye Xinghui noticed the white crow standing at the top at first glance.

This white crow had a pink beak and blood-red eyes, and its feathers were pure white without any blemish.

As the saying goes, “All crows in the world are generally black.”

But this crow was so white, it really caught the eye.

Ye Xinghui suspected that this large white crow should be the leader of this group of crows.

Thinking of this, Ye Xinghui looked at Sheng Zuo next to him and asked, “Sheng Zuo, that white crow must be the leader, right?”

Hearing this, Sheng Zuo nodded and said, “Boss, you guessed it right. He is the leader of us crows, King White!”

Ye Xinghui nodded and then looked at the big tree in front of him again.

…

With the nine crows on the tree and those reflective items, Ye Xinghui had the feeling that the big tree in front of him was the legendary hibiscus tree.

From an excerpt of The Classic of Mountains and Seas.

There is a hibiscus on the Tang Valley, where I bathe for ten days. It is in the north of Heijia. Living in the water, there is a big tree. For nine days, it lives on the lower branch and for one day, it lives on the upper branch.

The “nine days” here refers to the three-legged Golden Crow, so the hibiscus tree was the residence of the Golden Crow.

In Chinese mythology, the Golden Crow was the divine bird that drives the sun.

It rises from the Fusang tree in the east every morning for ten days, pulled by the sunbird or the three-legged Golden Crow, and flies westward, finally landing on the “Ruomu Sacred Tree” in the west.

Therefore, when Owl said before that crows were unlucky in China, he was actually wrong. The ancestor of crows was a divine bird, the Three-Legged Golden Crow.

The reason why many people said that crows were unlucky was mainly because crows eat carrion. Whenever a war happened, there would be groups of crows pecking at corpses. Because this happens too often, it ends up spreading rumors that crows bring war or death.

…….

When Ye Xinghui looked at King White, King White noticed Ye Xinghui and Owl.

This gathering place for crows was considered a landscape in the park. Many people who come to the park come here to take pictures.

As long as they bring enough food, these crows could even fly near humans like pigeons and take photos with them.

Therefore, King White and the other crows didn’t really care when the humans came here.

…

“Hey! King White, can we have a talk?” Ye Xinghui shouted to King White on the tree.

King White was a little confused when he heard Ye Xinghui call out his name!

“Human? Are you calling me?” King White looked at Ye Xinghui and asked.

At the same time, the other crows also looked at Ye Xinghui.

“That’s right.” Ye Xinghui responded.

Seeing that the human in front of him was really talking to him, King White also showed an interested expression and then flew down from the tree.

King White came to the treetop only about two meters away from Ye Xinghui and asked, “You can communicate with us, are you a demon?”

Ye Xinghui breathed a long sigh of relief. Fortunately, the guy in front of him didn’t say that he was a human-crow monster, or some other weird title.

“I’m not a demon, I’m a human!”

Hearing Ye Xinghui say that he was a human, King White became even more confused.

“Human, you can understand what we say, so you are not an ordinary human, right? Tell me, what do you want to talk to me about?” King White said in an icy tone.

Before Ye Xinghui discussed the conditions, he first opened his omniscient eye. He wanted to see how favorably King White felt about him.

After opening the omniscient eye, a progress bar appeared on King White’s head.

The progress bar was blue, which means that King White had no ill feelings towards humans, but his favorability was only about 10%.

Ten percent, in Ye Xinghui’s view, was just a stranger with whom he had just known the name.

Knowing that King White’s favorability towards him was only 10%, Ye Xinghui did not immediately reveal his purpose.

“I heard that there is a very awesome crow leader here, so I came to take a look!”

Just as Ye Xinghui finished speaking, he saw that the progress bar on King White’s head had increased by five percent!

Seeing this scene, Ye Xinghui thought to himself, ‘This King White actually likes others to compliment him?’

After knowing how to increase the favorability of King White, Ye Xinghui praised King White even more.

Ye Xinghui praised everything from its appearance to its quality.

At the same time, King White’s favorability towards Ye Xinghui was also brushed up to 30%.

After reaching 30%, no matter how much Ye Xinghui praised King White, the progress bar no longer increased.

But 30% was enough to see some information, at least race, age, and name could be seen.

[ Name: King White (Wang Bai)

Age: 453

Race: Bird (Crow)

Occupation: ???

Abilities: ???

Life Experience: ??? ]

…….

After reading some of King White’s information, Ye Xinghui felt completely dumbfounded!

‘Nah! This crow is four hundred and fifty-three years old? How did it live this long?’

If he remembered correctly, the lifespan of a crow was only more than ten years at most, but… this King White lived for more than 450 years!

When King White on the treetop saw that Ye Xinghui no longer boasted about it, he said lightly, “Human, stop talking about useless things and tell me why you came to me!”

After hearing King White’s words, Ye Xinghui came to his senses.

“My purpose is simple! I want to cooperate with you. I will be responsible for providing you and your men with food. You guys need to help me…”

But before Ye Xinghui could finish speaking, King White interrupted directly and said, “No need to talk with you humans, just go!”

After saying this, he flew back to the top of the tree.

King White’s meaning was obvious. He didn’t want to cooperate with Ye Xinghui.

Seeing King White fly away, Ye Xinghui thought to himself, ‘He is indeed an old bird of more than 450 years old! Sure enough, it is not just food that can impress him.’

Just when King White turned around and flew away, the Sheng You that left before flew onto Ye Xinghui’s shoulder.

“Boss, boss! I have summoned more than a hundred brothers, and they are all willing to follow us!”

Hearing this, Ye Xinghui nodded with satisfaction.

As early as when Ye Xinghui came to this area, he asked Sheng You to gather those crows who were not confident enough to survive the winter.

These crows were basically the bottom crows in the forest. A large number of crows die every winter. Some starve to death and some freeze to death. Most of the crows that died were these bottom crows.

These low-level crows were naturally very happy to know that someone was taking charge of their food. These crows did not think about the pros and cons, nor did they think about whether Ye Xinghui would take advantage of them. All they wanted was to survive!
