Chapter 1974 What Is The Bird?
Seeing the happy bird, Lin Mu couldn't help but feel pleased too.
It felt rather warm in his heart and even the Saintess couldn't help but smile under her veil. If one could see it right now, there was a high chance the entire forest would bloom in joy.
"I see, it's all good since it was your friend." Lin Mu said and returned the bird to Little Shrubby's head.
With the bird safe and healthy, Lin Mu could now move on to other questions.
Such as the fact that the bird was still unknown.
"Do you know what it is, Saintess?" Lin Mu asked, since he himself was unable to find a concrete answer.
"Hmm..." the Saintess narrowed her eyes and took a deeper look at the bird.
~shua~
Even her senses covered the tiny bird and looked deep into its bloodline trying to find what it was. As the Saintess of the Serpent Moon Sect and the Serpent Empress, she knew a lot about beasts and finding out their bloodlines was as easy as breathing for her.
The Saintess then closed her eyes and searched deep within the bloodline of the bird.
There she saw a muddied pool of blood which seemed to be stagnant.
The Saintess gazed at this muddied pool of blood and her own bloodline commanded it to move.
~HONG~
The stagnant pool of muddied blood stirred and started to churn. A few seconds later, it started to separate out into separate sections, each having a different density and color tone.
Some parts were light while some were dark.
The same was the case for the Yin Yang Twin Serpents. Lin Mu's infusion of Beast Qi had changed the fate of the egg that was to become either a Black Water Snake or a Fire Fang Snake.
The Saintess observed the bloodlines of the tiny bird and saw that Lin Mu's original guess that it was a Snow Stream Sparrow was correct.
'Its main bloodline is certainly that. But... the impurities have mutated it to become smaller.' The Saintess understood. 'It also seems like they are the reason why it managed to survive this long. The mutation made it smaller, but also improved its natural vitality and healing, allowing it to survive blood loss for that long.' She analyzed.
There were often cases like this, where a beast would gain an advantage while also having a disadvantage.
In the case of the tiny Snow Stream Sparrow, it became smaller in size as a trade off for having better vitality. Where most Dao Shell Realm beasts would have died within hours, it had managed to withstand the Vein Snapper Venom for two days.
It was certainly shocking on some level and showed that while the bird had become weaker, it still had potential in it.
~shua~
Having confirmed all this, the Saintess stopped influencing the bloodline pool which quickly became muddied again. She then withdrew her senses and opened her eyes.
"It is just as you said, a Snow Stream Sparrow. But it has also mutated to become smaller along with a few changes to its physical characteristics." The Saintess confirmed.
"Huh... so I was right." Lin Mu didn't expect that. "Is the reason why it managed to survive this long the same mutation?" He asked.
"Indeed. It has better vitality than most beasts at the Immortal Ascension realm. While it isn't that strong physically, it still has a high survival rate." The Saintess answered.
She then went on to explain more in detail about how the bloodlines worked and the impurities that were causing this change in the Tiny Snow Stream Sparrow.
Since Lin Mu already knew decently about bloodlines, it didn't take him long to understand the rest too.
And when he did, an idea came to his mind.
"Should I... try to use Beast Qi on it too?"
