Chapter 129

The first one to be groomed, Peryton, let out a "howl" and reluctantly got up.

It took Xie Juanhan and his team two days to comb out all the down feathers.

After combing, they settled the Peryton for the second-level magic wine at a fair price based on the amount of down feathers.

Xie Juanhan directly to the Weaving Fairies, asking them to help make it into bedding.

This time, the bedding was specially made for Harper and the others to sleep in.

As for the beast's den, I'll probably have to save up for a while longer.

Even if the Peryton are large, they can't comb out enough down feathers to make a nest for them all at once.

Xie Juanhan originally planned to wait until next spring to exchange some down feathers with the Peryton.

A few days later, this group of Peryton, with the elderly and children, appeared all at the gate of Xie Juanhan's house.

"Awooo!" The Peryton's bright eyes indicated that they wanted to exchange their down feathers again.

Harper and the others heard the sound, stood at the door, and craned their necks, staring intently at the Peryton.

Xie Juanhan lowered his voice and said to Harper and the others, "Weren't you all very reluctant to use your mortal enemy's down feathers to make your nest before? Now you're willing?"

Haxi puffed out his chest. "Chirp!"

- I'd love to!

Xie Juanhan: "It's a pity, I can't comb it anymore."

Xie Juanhan said to the Peryton, "Growing too much hair in a short time is bad for your hair follicles. You need to take it slow. You can only eat pumpkin again next month to Changmao."

Upon hearing this, the Peryton and Harper all showed expressions of disappointment. "Huh?!"

Xie Juanhan chuckled, "Yes, it will take that long. We need to ensure sustainable development."

Chapter 129 [VIP]

Xie Juanhan was writing a letter at his desk.

Nibote, who usually runs off to play, obediently squatted to the side.

It was crouching, almost as tall as Xie Juanhan sitting, its furry head panting beside it, its eyes fixed intently on the letter.

This is a letter to be sent to Eermirisi.

Xie Juanhan and Telingewei planned to temporarily entrust the farmland to the Goblin after harvesting the pumpkins and rice, and then they would take the Griffin to the Florence Highlands.

After a busy year, they can take this opportunity to relax.

Nibote can also meet with his people.

After finishing the letter, Xie Juanhan placed the pen on the pen holder and let the letter air dry.

Once the ink on the letter paper has dried, it can be put into an envelope and sent out by a little mailbird.

"Meow." Nibote stared at the letter and rubbed his big head against Xie Juanhan's arm.

The round ears were pressed down, then bounced back up.

Xie Juanhan cupped the Griffin's cheeks in his hands and rubbed them gently. "Did you miss your people?"

Nibote licked Xie Juanhan's wrist with the tip of his tongue. "Mmm."

"Chirp!" Harper and the others chirped outside, reminding Xie Juanhan that the homing birds had flown over.

Xie Juanhan walked out of the study and looked up at the carrier birds flying from the sky to the eaves.

This homing bird has a tender red beak and yellow claws, making it look somewhat like a waterfowl.

The small messenger birds they commonly use are all songbirds from the forest.

Xie Juanhan was a little surprised that he would summon an unfamiliar little messenger bird today.

He was also a little worried about whether the little messenger bird, being a waterfowl, could fly from the Magic Forest to the Florence Highlands.

That area has a semi-arid climate, and apart from the rivers, most of it is grassland.

Xie Juanhan was considering whether to feed the little messenger bird, but then politely declined and summoned another little messenger bird over.

The little carrier bird flew down to their heads and opened its beak to let out a series of hoarse cries. "Caw caw caw!"

Xie Juanhan wondered if he had misheard, "What?"

The little messenger bird tilted its head, looked at Xie Juanhan with its bean-like eyes, and repeated, "Cack cack cack!"

Telingewei stepped forward and stood behind Xie Juanhan.

Xie Juanhan turned to look at Telingewei.

Telingewei nodded. "It is indeed the sound of Tata Fish."

Xie Juanhan looked at the little messenger bird. "So, you're not a little messenger bird we summoned from the forest, but a little messenger bird that delivers messages for the Tata Fish?"

"Wait!" Xie Juanhan immediately realized after asking, "You delivered a message?!"

The little messenger bird didn't understand; its attention had already shifted to the food and water troughs on the perch.

It flew over and perched on the bird perch, its two little claws stepping on the wooden stick, and hopped around on it.

This was the first time Xie Juanhan had received a letter from the Tata Fish, and he was quite surprised. He went over and teased the bird's beak, "Say it again."

The little fax bird opened its beak and cried out, "Cack, clack, clack!"

Xie Juanhan turned to Telingewei and asked, "Can you understand me?"

Telingewei listened carefully for a moment. "No, we can only roughly tell that the Tata Fish's calls sound urgent."

Xie Juanhan frowned. "I also think the cry was quite loud and urgent, it sounded like a plea for help."

They usually communicate with the Tata Fish by using their mental powers to read the Tata Fish's meaning; they don't actually understand fish language.

Now it's being relayed by the little messenger bird.

They couldn't understand what those "click-click-click" sounds meant at all.

Xie Juanhan took out a divination coin from his spatial armband. "Let me see what's going on?"

At this moment, the Tata Fish were unaware that the little messenger bird had already delivered their message to Xie Juanhan and Telingewei.

They are in a terrifying sea area filled with lightning and thunder.

In this sea area, the dark sea and sky almost merge into one line.

A fierce storm raged, and the waves surged wildly.

Scattered across the sea were numerous fragments of wood, cloth, and animal hides.

A group of people were being carried by the Tata Fish, trembling with fear, looking around in terror, and occasionally clinging to the fish's backs, trying to avoid the terrifying lightning.

"Goddess!" The human being carried reached out to touch the air, but touched an invisible wall.

He pounded on the wall in despair. "Where am I?"

Like him, those around him also wore expressions of despair, reaching out to touch the air, trying to find a crack in the invisible wall.

The Tata Fish swayed back and forth in the turbulent sea, their expressions equally uneasy.

However, they are calmer than humans.

Just half a day ago, the Tata Fish were swimming peacefully in their familiar waters.

At that time, a giant magical ship passed by them.

The humans on the giant ship stopped to greet them and offered them fruit and honey water.

Although these fruits are not as good as those from Lord Yinlong's household, they are large, plentiful, and diverse in variety.

The Tata Fish, who hadn't had fruit for a while, happily swam alongside the boat, watching the humans while opening their mouths to receive fruit and honey.

The magical behemoth was anchored on the sea, constantly being pushed by the waves because it had not lowered its anchor.

As the magical behemoth was about to drift into unfamiliar waters, the Tata Fish anxiously warned, "Click-click-"

The more they reminded them, the more excited the humans on the magical behemoth became. "Goddess, these Tata Fish are so cute!"

The Tata Fish: "Click! Click!! Click!!!"

Human: "Hey, what are you talking about? I don't understand, hahaha."

The Tata Fish flicked their tails, trying to leave their spot.

They sensed an uneasy atmosphere.

But it was too late.

The once calm sea was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and terrifying lightning struck down.

In the blink of an eye, it was completely dark, and the sea was churning, as if the sea god was angry.

The Tata Fish had originally hidden underwater.

They only need to surface occasionally to breathe and can remain underwater for a long time.

The waves on the sea are getting bigger and bigger.

The raging winds and towering waves tore at the magical behemoth, which was on the verge of collapse.

First, the mast was blown off, then the hull was smashed, the magic circle failed, and the Demonic Core fell out.

The once majestic magical warship deteriorated further, and the cries of the humans aboard grew louder and more desperate.

The Tata Fish listened underwater, and eventually couldn't resist surfacing.

A huge wave crashed in.

They actually pushed the giant magical ship into a strange space.

Seeing the despair on the humans' faces, the Tata Fish finally couldn't resist. They rushed forward, grabbing fragments of the magical warship, intending to push the fragments, along with the humans on board, out of the dangerous waters.

As a result, the waves were too big, and not only did they fail to move forward, the fragments of the magic ship also got stuck in their teeth, dragging them directly forward.

In the final moments before being dragged into unfamiliar waters, the Tata Fish, which was relatively far away, only had time to call out a few times to the familiar homing bird.

After calling out, they rushed forward and grabbed the tails of their kin, trying to help.

As a result, all the Tata Fish were dragged into unfamiliar waters.

After the fragments of the magical warship disappeared, the sea returned to calm, with only some wood chips as a testament to the terrible events that had transpired there.

The little messenger bird, having received the message, circled twice in the air before hesitatingly flying towards the Magic Forest.

Xie Juanhan was unable to divine the specific details of the event. Looking at the divination results, he could only conclude. "The Tata Fish are in danger, but it's not extremely urgent yet. In another half a day, things will get much worse."

Telingewei couldn't understand the divination he had prepared. "What kind of danger?"

"Humans and nature?" Xie Juanhan carefully interpreted the divination. "It looks like the Tata Fish are entangled with humans, oppressed by the forces of nature."

Telingewei frowned. "Can you calculate the exact location?"

Xie Juanhan performed divination again and finally wrote down a coordinate, "This direction."

Telingewei stared at the coordinates. "There seems to be a Sea of Concealment here."
