Chapter 240 This was really learned
The group ultimately decided to go to the Temple of the Gods first, since those Hindu gods had the most old and new grudges against the Great Xia.
After everyone reached a consensus, Nezha summoned the Golden Phoenix. After the group boarded the phoenix, Ling Yunxiao suddenly thought of Garuda King.
“Let’s follow the route I’ve taken before! Those beast gods in India can also contribute a lot of power to reincarnation.”
As Ling Yunxiao spoke, he pointed in a direction for Nezha. Wang Mian roughly guessed what Ling Yunxiao meant and nodded with a smile.
"That Garuda King is quite intelligent, and with it leading the way, it's indeed much easier for us to find those beast gods."
Although Nezha couldn't understand what the two were saying, he still followed Ling Yunxiao's advice and quickly adjusted the direction of the Fire Phoenix, heading towards Garuda King's territory.
Three hours later, the fire phoenix hovered, and the group appeared in front of the three Garudas. Ling Yunxiao casually killed two of them and looked at the last one.
"Go find your king. I'll be waiting right here. If you dare to run, I'll find you no matter where you are, and I'll pluck out every single one of your feathers to make shuttlecocks..."
"Roar……"
The last remaining Garuda King let out a miserable cry and flew away into the distance.
"Yunxiao, what if it escapes?"
"It's alright. I just cast a spell on its wings. If it dares to run away, fire magic will destroy it."
Lin Qiye smiled and replied, still bothered by Wang Ye's earlier comment that he was useless.
"Jie Jie Jie..."
Half an hour later, a large patch of dark clouds loomed from the southwest, and upon closer inspection, they were indeed Garudas.
Ling Yunxiao took out the Judge's Pen and wrote several "kill" characters in succession. After handing out two or three of each of the Karmic Fire Lotuses to the crowd, he flicked his wrist and took out an axe.
“Except for the largest Garuda King, we killed all the others. These human-faced birds are worth a lot of energy points!”
"Don't worry, we know we need to keep one. We've seen these things before. After you disappeared, this thing died at the hands of Cthulhu while covering an ordinary Night's Watch squad and the people of that city."
After you disappeared, I originally intended to take it as a mode of transportation, but it insisted on waiting for its master. It said it would see things for its master even if the master wasn't there, and it refused to leave with me.
Wang Ye sighed, his gaze having already passed over many Garudas and landed on the largest Garuda King.
"Hehehe...Kill them all!"
Garuda King approached the group, glanced at them to confirm they were the gods and auspicious birds of the Great Xia, and then gave his orders with a disdainful tone. Its territory was near the Great Xia; what powerful deity existed in the Great Xia?
At this moment, in Garuda King's eyes, everyone was nothing more than insignificant mountain gods and local deities, so he naturally had no fear of them.
"Captain, you don't need to do anything. Just keep an eye on that old bastard Garuda King and make sure he doesn't get away."
"Easy to say."
Wang Mian nodded. These were merely members of the Indian Beast God lineage; there was indeed no need for them to take any precautions.
Ling Yunxiao, Nezha, Wang Ye, and Lin Qiye rushed out. Wang Mian, carrying the Demon-Slaying Sword, flashed and leaped a few times before arriving near Garuda King, where he quietly gazed at him.
Garuda King roared, feeling a chill run down its spine for some reason. Just as it was thinking of summoning a few Garudas to protect it, it looked up again and saw a one-sided massacre.
Just as Garuda King was about to rush over, King Face came over with a long sword, but it ignored the sword and walked past it. Its wings were cut by the sword, but it was not afraid. King Face did not kill it and could only withdraw its sword, watching Garuda King protect several small Garudas under its wings.
"Oh... Esteemed deities, if you wish to kill or torture them, please do so against me. These little ones are the only newborns of our race in a hundred years. Please, have mercy on them..."
Knowing that the difference in strength was too great, Garuda King knelt down completely.
Ling Yunxiao's gaze shifted, and he suddenly remembered that although Old Wu had tricked Garuda King into coming over using his ability to talk in his sleep in his previous life, that Garuda was obviously more conscientious than this one and did not bring the newborn of its clan over.
"I want to take you as my mount. If you agree, I will not only release you, but also allow these little creatures in your tribe to live in the Great Xia Forest. As long as they abide by the law, they can live peacefully."
After Ling Yunxiao finished speaking, he quietly looked at Garuda King, casually flicking the axe in his hand, which happened to splatter the remaining bloodstains onto Garuda King's wings. He had very little good impression of Hindu gods, apart from the fire god, whether they were celestial or beast gods.
If Garuda King weren't still relatively loyal, he wouldn't be trying to reason with it now; killing them all would still give him a lot of reincarnation power.
"Master, please accept my bow."
Garuda King's wing was cut by the long sword on the king's face, and the other wing was covered with the blood of his kin, yet he had no choice but to kneel down and respectfully kowtow to Ling Yunxiao.
"You can look among those corpses and find some young female Garudas. I will help them revive. Afterward, Jinluan will take them to Shennong Mountain, where there are countless desolate mountains and wild ridges where they can live."
"Thank you, Master!"
With tears in his eyes, Garuda King expressed his gratitude. After selecting a few more Garudas, he once again submitted to Ling Yunxiao with heartfelt thanks and reverence.
"Beasts are different from humans! He killed your whole family, or even your whole clan, and only left you a little something to go around. Maybe he didn't even have any good intentions, yet you're so grateful and kneeling down to lick his boots?"
Normally, in our human race, this would be a blood feud etched deep in our bones, something we would rather die than kneel down. Moreover, even if we did kneel, we would endure hardship and bide our time, vowing to kill them one day…”
Wang Ye scoffed, his eyes fixed on Garuda King's reaction.
Just when everyone thought that Garuda King would say something about the survival of the fittest, that wise birds choose their own trees, or get angry, Garuda King unexpectedly shook his head and denied Wang Ye's words with a calm expression.
"You humans? But I learned this behavior from you humans! I studied it seriously..."
When those two little boys were born, I saw the mushroom cloud with my own eyes. Then, those people immediately knelt down and called him "Dad!" They didn't resist at all, and after calling him "Dad" for over a hundred years, they're now incredibly proud to be his godson.
"You can't criticize this! This person has genuinely studied it..."
Ling Yunxiao nodded, echoing Garuda King's words, and looked at Wang Ye while suppressing a laugh.
"You...you...you fucking...I...I fucking..."
Garuda King had successfully stumped Wang Ye. After a long while, he finally turned his head to look at the clouds and fell into deep thought.
Are those not human? But how am I supposed to explain to King Garuda that the difference between human beings is greater than the difference between humans and dogs?
In the end, Wang Ye concluded that he had just been too sharp-tongued, talking about the human race and the Great Xia people. If he had just said that, he would have been in a much better position, and might even have been able to join in with a few insults...
