Its vitality remained remarkably tenacious.
Yet it could no longer take flight.
Luo Feng led the two women toward the Dog-headed Bird's location.
When they witnessed the pitiful state of the creature, they couldn't help but gasp in shock.
Tang Xuewei exclaimed in amazement, "Luo Feng, you're not just fast at shooting - your aim is incredibly precise too. That's truly remarkable! I wonder when you could teach me archery? I want to shoot as accurately as you do, so I can also attack from range."
Hearing this, Luo Feng smiled faintly and replied, "I'll teach you when we have time tonight. First, you'll need to train your arm strength. Only with powerful arms can you shoot farther. Didn't I give you a Frost Bow before? You should practice with it regularly. With enough practice, you'll naturally become skilled. As the old saying goes, practice makes perfect. With perseverance, even an iron rod can be ground down to a needle."
(Everyone should do less needlework at night. Some things only get thinner with grinding. If you keep grinding something as slender as the Ice Soul Silver Needle, it might disappear entirely.)
Fortunately, Luo Feng had no such concerns, frequently wielding his Ice-Fire Great Rod in combat.
Tang Xuewei nodded contentedly at Luo Feng's words, already planning to seek his guidance on archery techniques that evening.
As they drew nearer, the Dog-headed Bird began struggling desperately, emitting pitiful cries.
"Woof, woof woof, woof woof woof..."
(Any dog language interpreters here?)
Being no single dog himself, Luo Feng naturally couldn't understand canine speech, nor did he care to decipher what the creature was saying. He drew his Mythical Frost Blade.
A swift downward stroke.
The dog head tumbled to the ground.
Faced with such an aberrant creature, Luo Feng had no desire to collect its remains. Just the name "Dog-headed Bird" was unpleasant enough. Besides, Luo Feng wasn't short on food supplies.
After dealing with the creature, Luo Feng turned his attention to the massive nest in the tree.
With a smile, he said, "Wait here below. I'm going up to investigate. There's something special in that nest - something I've never seen before. I guarantee it'll amaze you."
Intrigued by Luo Feng's words, Tang Xuewei looked up at the enormous nest in the tree. The structure measured a full two meters in diameter, making its contents impossible to discern from below.
Drawing from past experience, Tang Xuewei asked curiously, "Are there eggs in the nest? I wonder what Dog-headed Bird eggs look like?"
Luo Feng chuckled at her question. "Not eggs. You'll see soon enough. I'll be right back after checking it out."
Producing his Legendary Grappling Hook, Luo Feng launched it toward the tree and quickly ascended to the nest.
There, within the Dog-headed Bird's dwelling, lay a silver treasure chest shaped like a canine head. At such close range, even Luo Feng couldn't suppress a sharp intake of breath at the sight of this Dog-Head Treasure Chest.
Luo Feng had been in this Ocean World for quite some time now, and the number of treasure chests he had obtained was already beyond count.
He had seen all kinds of peculiar treasure chests.
However, no matter how special these chests were, they all shared one common trait—they were all cubic in shape, resembling traditional boxes.
But the silver treasure chest before him was shaped like a dog's head.
Luo Feng even doubted whether calling it a "treasure chest" was appropriate.
He hoped that this exceptionally unique chest would bring him an unexpected surprise.
With that thought, Luo Feng didn't hesitate any longer. He reached out, gripped the two "ears" of the Dog-Head Treasure Chest, and lifted it up.
Then, he carefully took it down from the bird's nest in the tree.
Such a peculiar treasure chest was definitely worth showing to Tang Xuewei and the Merfolk Queen before opening it.
When the two of them saw the dog-headed silver treasure chest in Luo Feng's hands, their faces were filled with astonishment.
Tang Xuewei said in disbelief, "What kind of treasure chest is this?
I've never seen anything like it before!
It's actually shaped like a dog's head—it looks kind of cute.
I wonder what's inside?"
Luo Feng chuckled lightly and said, "Well, I'm about to find out."
Without further delay, he opened the Dog-Head Treasure Chest.
Dog-Head Silver Treasure Chest opened:
-
Obtained Excellent Dog Food: +1 bag
-
Obtained Excellent You Are Really a Dog Talisman: +1
-
Obtained Ocean Coins: +3
Ten Thousand-Fold Reward:
-
Obtained Epic Dog Food: +10,000 bags
-
Obtained Mythical You Are Really a Dog Talisman: +1,000
-
Obtained Ocean Coins: +3,000,000
Luo Feng frowned slightly as he looked at the rewards from this chest.
Judging by the names of the items alone, they were undeniably related to dogs.
Was this some kind of pre-520 festival giveaway?
Back when Luo Feng was alone, he used to suffer during these kinds of holidays.
He would avoid checking his social media feeds altogether.
Anyone who dared to flaunt their relationships during this time would immediately get blocked by him.
But now, to his surprise, Luo Feng had become the one distributing "dog food" instead.
And honestly? It felt pretty good.
Though, he didn't currently have a pet dog—what use did he have for dog food?
Regardless, Luo Feng decided to check the attributes of the Epic Dog Food—after all, it was his first time seeing something like this.
[Dog Food]
Grade: Epic
Description: Dog Food, as the name suggests, is food meant for dogs. However, the "dogs" here don't just refer to ordinary canines—they also include single individuals ("single dogs").
No matter the species, as long as a "single dog" consumes this food, it will take effect.
Those in relationships will not experience any effects from eating it.
Effect: After consuming Dog Food, a single dog's attributes will be enhanced, especially in terms of mental resilience—allowing them to better endure loneliness and emotional triggers.
Note: Caring for single dogs is everyone's responsibility.
Say no to bullying single dogs—start with yourself.
When a single dog dies, no relationship-flaunter is innocent.
Luo Feng stared at the bag of Epic Dog Food in his hand, momentarily at a loss for words.
There's actually something like this?
It seems Luo Feng can't eat Dog Food to boost his strength.
Although Luo Feng can't eat Dog Food, he can give it to Black Tortoise and White Tiger.
Neither of them are actual dogs, but they're both single dogs.
