Chapter 79: Ghost Bird and Profound Nether Beast
When he walked out of Icestone City and looked into the distance, his expression suddenly turned serious
There wasn’t a living person to be seen in the usually crowded main street In fact, when he looked afar, he could see a few skeletal reer and obviously a spirit beast’s A few of them were distinctively human as well
The sun was hidden, both sky and earth covered by thick layers of cloud The land covered in gray and scattered bones depicted a picture of desolation and loneliness
He could still remember the first tiates near the main street were pretty crowded, and there would be numerous martial practitioners and nor Family, ould visit Icestone City Everyday there would be ates, and soates could cause a traffic jaht now, and not a single soul could be seen on the main street
“Fwee…”
That old servant, as called Liang Zhong, suddenly and loudly whistled after he exited the city
The whistling sound resounded along with the bloind into the great distance; its reverberation still echoing
“Swoosh Swoosh Swoosh!” The flapping sounds of a bird appeared from the thick clouds above their heads
Qin Lie lifted his head and saw seven to eight birds of the sa above them Because they were too far apart, he could not clearly identify their shapes, but he did guess that they had co lifted his head a let out a chuckle Then, he whistled again
A bird suddenly dove doards like a bolt of green lightning before landing on top of Liang Zhong’s shoulders It even let out a strange sound as if it were speaking sohtly started, and softly exclaimed, “W-what kind of a bird is this?”
When it was closer and he could get a clear look at it, he saw that the bird was about the size of his palreen in color Not only that, its face… was clearly that of a young child’s!
The ghastly green little bird looked like a sinister soul It had the small face of a child, yet it had a sharp beak and eyes that rolled around freely, giving hi
“This is a tamed Ghost Bird They are small creatures that you can find in Nether Battlefield, and they are ave hi to listen closely at the Ghost Bird’s chirps It took a while before he finally nodded, and the Ghost Bird abruptly fleay like a wisp of a green ghost, flashing above the clouds in the sky
“Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh!”
A series of rapid, sweeping sounds ca, two spirit beasts covered entirely in green scutes suddenly appeared beside Xie Jingxuan and Liang Zhong like the breeze
The two spirit beasts shared a very sie and chilly Its body covered in green scutes gave it the appearance of a rhino at first glance, but it was even bigger than one, and its eyes were also ghastly green The ht of it sent shivers down people’s hearts
“Profound Nether Beast, also a spirit beast of the Nether Battlefield It is very different fro loosely explained, “The Ghost Bird is only a Rank One spirit beast, so its co But it is incredibly convenient and useful for infor from up in the sky These two Profound Nether Beasts are only Rank Two, but they run incredibly fast and are the perfect tools for traveling long distances If you have a Profound Nether Beast to ride on your journey, then it’s but a cinch to travel tens of thousands of ure danced upwards like a blade of aleaf before landing steadily on top of a Profound Nether Beast
Liang Zhong himself rode atop the other Profound Nether Beast and nodded towards Qin Lie “Come on up You will sit with ’s hands, he then sat on top of the Profound Nether Beast
“Grabexclaimed in a low tone
Qin Lie cooperated obediently
“Whoosh Whoosh!”
The Profound Nether Beast beneath hihtning All Qin Lie could hear was the sound of the hipping past his ears, and for a moment, his heart raced
“Both the Ghost Birds and the Profound Nether Beasts are spirit beasts from the Nether Battlefield If they had appeared inside Icestone City, itZhong’s explanation cah it wasn’t very loud, Qin Lie could clearly hear every word
The two Profound Nether Beasts traveled forith considerable speed The scenery around the towards the back as it all quickly passed by
Gradually, Qin Lie had gotten used to the Profound Nether Beast’s speed, and when he concentrated on the periphery he realized that he could see the occasional traces of battle and the remains of a few spirit beasts But he seldom saw any corpses of martial practitioners at all
“The ht the backbone of their subordinates and are active around the Arctic Mountain Range Some of their experts have already entered deep into the Arctic Mountain Range and attacked soh rank spirit beasts The spirit beasts that operate around Icestone City, Crimson Flame City, and Water Moon City are usually lower ranked ones – mostly rank one or twos – and the people ere responsible to clean the was hurrying on his ith Qin Lie, he began to introduce randomly, “The three Elders fro had brought their hall e to combine forces with Crimson Flame Association and Water Moon Sect’s Elders in order to cooperate with Dark Asura Hall and Seven Fiends Valley’s mission…”
His demeanor was careless, and he just said whatever was on the top off his head without really explaining in great detail, but on the whole, Qin Lie understood what he was saying
The really high ranking spirit beasts in the Arctic Mountain Range would still be inside the e Those ent into the Arctic Mountain Range were true masters from Seven Fiends Valley and Dark Asura Hall The ranks of spirit beasts on the outer edge of the Arctic Mountain Range would be slightly lower – about rank two or so – and Elders from Shattered Ice Manor, Nebula Pavilion, Crimson Flame Association, and Water Moon Sect would be responsible to hunt them doith their e, the spirit beasts that operated around Icestone City, Crimson Flame City, and Water Moon City were just rank one or two
These low level spirit beasts would fall under the responsibility of Tu Ze, Zhuo Qian, Yan Ziqian, and other juniors to bring some allies of the Refinement Realm to clear them out
“I don’t see many bodies of martial practitioners?” Qin Lie suddenly asked after the Profound Nether Beast sped along for a little while
