Chapter 391: Initial Entry into the Crow Scout Tribe
There was no one around, only silence. It was late at night, and as soon as Meng Hao emerged from the teleportation, his body flashed and he was gone. He reappeared atop a tree off in the distance, whereupon he examined his surroundings.
The Wild Giant and Gu La were nowhere to be seen, which caused Meng Hao to frown.
Muttering to itself, the parrot burrowed out from within Meng Hao's robe. It flapped its wings and sniffed about, whereupon an intoxicated expression appeared on its face.
"There is ancient Qi here. Ahh, Lord Fifth likes this place. I suddenly feel like reciting some poetry...."
"You wicked, immoral, shameless bird! You think you're gonna recite poetry!? More like recite crap!" Of course, the meat jelly bell wouldn't miss out on any opportunity to attack the parrot. It continued to jabber on loudly.
Meng Hao swept the area with Spiritual Sense. After confirming that there was nothing dangerous nearby, he removed the blood-colored mask and took out the jade slip given to him by Yan Song. After looking at it closely, he found that it contained a map, as well as short introductions of the five Crow Divinity Tribes.
Meng Hao examined the map, then looked up and off into the distance.
"Some slight inconsistencies, but nothing too great. They seem intentional. It seems Yan Song doesn't trust everyone that much after all." Meng Hao laughed coldly, then produced the glowing ball of light from Li Tian. He examined it closely with several different methods before finally interrupting the parrot and meat jelly and asking their opinion.
That was the best method to get information regarding the thing. The parrot slapped its chest and then spit out a multicolored glob of light which it examined before waving it away.
"No problem. Don't worry, when Lord Fifth takes action, one Lord Fifth is equivalent to two!"
"Two of you?" said the meat jelly complacently. "You have the skill to split into two? Humph. You should really say, 'When Lord Third takes action, one Lord Third is equivalent to three!" Its body suddenly made a popping sound as it transformed into three bells, all attached to the parrot's foot.
The parrot's eyes narrowed with disdain.
"You know, the reason I'm called Lord Fifth is an allusion to the fact that I'm a parrot. Do you know what parrots are, huh? The last character in the word 'parrot' is the same pronunciation as 'fifth.' That's why I'm Lord Fifth. What about you? Bitch!" 1
The meat jelly was furious. It truly felt as if it were being discriminated against. All three bells simultaneously let out furious shrieks.
"I'm called Lord Third, and that's an allusion too, because I can count to three! That's why I'm Lord Third! So what? You have a problem with that?!?!"
In this instance, the meat jelly really did seem to be quite bold and confident in its conviction, leading to a rare occurrence; the parrot gaped.
Meng Hao cleared his throat and ignored his clownish companions. He looked back at the ball of light in his hand and thought for a while. Next, he glanced at the ring on the finger of his right hand, which was, of course, the transformed Eyeless Larva. He quickly took it off and transformed it back into the Eyeless Larva, which he then combined with the glowing light.
The Eyeless Larva gradually disappeared. The glowing light transformed; moments later it was a totem, within which was the Eyeless Larva.
Meng Hao scanned it with Spiritual Sense, and after confirming that nothing was suppressing the Eyeless Larva, he lifted up his right hand and pressed it down onto the totem, which then covered the back of his right hand. It slowly sank into his skin, after which, a totem tattoo appeared.
