Chapter 107 - 105: Entering the Bird Beastman Tribe
A Seven-striped Eagle King in the sky, a Seven-striped Snake King on the ground, and a Six-striped Mermaid slowly approaching.
Hu Qian’s expression shifted repeatedly.
"You bumpkins from the Eastern Continent!" Hu Qian roared. "Then let me, on behalf of Ten Thousand Beasts City, pass judgment and punishment upon you!"
Brilliant white lightning erupted around the White Tiger Beastman, coalescing at his tailbone into a massive, thunderous tiger tail.
The Eight-striped Tiger King stomped, shattering the mountain rock beneath him, his blue eyes chillingly cold.
It was a superpower! The White Thunder Ability!
A battle between Beast Kings was completely different from a common Beastman brawl. It was a clash of raw power and superpowers.
Nan Zishi, the clumsy bird who couldn’t fly, was still flapping her wings frantically. She couldn’t resist looking back.
Just then, the Seven-striped Red Eagle Beastman’s wings whipped up a hurricane, sending thousands of feathers raining down like daggers. But a thunderclap from the tiger’s claws shattered them into fine dust.
’Oh my god!!!’
’Nan Zishi had beaten a wolf and even a ten-year-old Beastman kid, and she’d actually thought she was hot stuff.’
’But now, witnessing a true battle between Beast Kings, she felt so incredibly small.’
Aside from the Beast Kings and Six-striped Lanxing, all the other Beastmen were retreating in droves.
A battle between Beast Kings was absolutely not something they could take part in.
"My Lord! Go for it! My Lord! Kill him!!!"
"The wind isn’t his superpower. That’s just his raw strength." A black Eagle Beastman flew directly above Nan Zishi, looking down at her. "My older brother’s superpower is fire."
Just then, a dark-colored Snake Beastman burst from the ground, a pitch-black toxic mist condensing into a giant python that lunged for the White Tiger’s throat.
The Eight Stripes on the White Tiger’s forehead suddenly blazed to life. One after another, rings of white lightning formed around him. He swept his tiger tail, and Xuan Jin violently blocked it with his own.
Countless ice crystals had condensed on Xuan Jin’s snake tail, forming a formidable Ice Crystal Shield.
However, faced with the Eight-striped White Tiger’s tail attack, the Ice Crystal Shield began to shatter piece by piece.
’Terrifying!’
Unable to get airborne, the clumsy bird Nan Zishi covered her head with her wings.
"Fly! Get in the air, female!" Han Feng yelled down to her from the sky. "As long as you can fly, that tiger can’t catch you!"
After dodging the mixture of dirt, rocks, and ice crystals raining down from the sky, Nan Zishi busied herself with flapping her wings again.
’What kind of messed-up Beast World is this? How is everyone so strong? Is a Beast King’s power so immense it just defies normal logic?’
Just then, the Mermaid Prince, Lanxing, charged in as well, seizing the opportunity to summon dozens of Water Dragon Rolls.
With a flick of its White Thunder tail, the White Tiger electrified all the Water Dragon Rolls, which turned and surged back toward Lanxing and the others.
Xuan Jin and Lanxing scrambled to dodge. "Stop attacking!" Xuan Jin said. "Go help Nan Zishi!"
Lanxing felt completely defeated, but he could only do his best to run toward Nan Zishi.
The Eight-striped Tiger King faced the Seven-striped Snake King and Seven-striped Eagle King, his expression cold and grim. "Chi Xiao, Xuan Jin, do you really intend to provoke Ten Thousand Beasts City?!"
Chi Xiao shook his wings and said, "In the Beast World, the strong prey on the weak. When did this become a matter of ’provocation?’ Must we hand over our clan’s only female just because you demand it? The High Priest’s authority is getting a little too great!"
Hu Qian narrowed his eyes.
’Not only had a female of the Red Eagle Clan mated with a Cold-blooded Snake Beastman...’
’But now, his eternal nemeses, Chi Xiao and Xuan Jin, were actually joining forces to fight him.’
’This world really had been turned completely upside down.’
Chi Xiao suddenly unleashed his power. He beat his wings, and the resulting wind actually carried flames!
The White Tiger Beast King sensed a tremendous threat. He retreated repeatedly, then suddenly swiped his claw, causing the lightning to erupt!
An immense wave of power exploded between the Beast Kings.
Fragments of that power flew toward Nan Zishi, but Lanxing rushed over and blocked them for her with a column of water.
"Sister!"
Han Feng finally couldn’t bear to watch any longer. He swooped down, grabbed both of Nan Zishi’s arms, and with a heave, threw her into the air. Nan Zishi tumbled through the sky, screaming, and landed squarely on Han Feng’s back as she came down.
Han Feng complained, "In our clan, the only other one who can’t fly is Huo Jun, and that’s because he’s blind. I really don’t know why you’re this old and still haven’t learned."
Nan Zishi was speechless. ’It’s my first time being a bird, and I’ve only been one for a few minutes!’
’Who could learn to fly in just a few minutes?’
"By the way, what’s your name?" Han Feng asked.
"Nan Zishi," she said gratefully. "Thank you for saving me."
Nan Zishi looked down from the sky and saw that Xuan Jin, having transformed into his full beast form, had coated his entire body in ice. He was coiled tightly around Hu Qian, constricting him with his body.
Hu Qian’s White Thunder was useless against Xuan Jin’s white ice!
Suddenly, Xuan Jin’s superpower surged, and a huge mass of ice instantly froze Hu Qian solid!
The giant Red Eagle grabbed the block of ice with its talons, unfurled its massive wings, and shot toward the sky.
The frozen White Tiger struggled furiously. Lightning surged within the ice, and a phantom image of a white tiger appeared around its body.
However, the instant he broke free of the ice, the Red Eagle high in the sky suddenly released its talons.
Hu Qian was speechless.
The Eight-striped Tiger King’s pupils contracted sharply, and countless bolts of lightning began to crackle across his body.
In the instant before he hit the ground, the power of the lightning softened the earth below. The soil became as soft as a giant wad of cotton.
Knowing he was at a disadvantage, the Eight-striped Tiger King, now covered in countless small wounds, gave up the fight and turned to run!
Chi Xiao and Xuan Jin gave chase, while Han Feng flew toward the Bird Beastman encampment with Nan Zishi on his back.
Lanxing gave chase, shouting, "Hey, Bird Beastman, what are you doing? Let go of my female master!"
Han Feng turned and shouted to Lanxing on the ground, "She’s one of our Bird Beastmen, a female of our clan! Of course she’s coming back to the Bird Clan with us. Since you’re her Beast Husband, you can just wait outside. We’ll let you in to see her after we’ve handled our clan’s affairs!"
With that said, Han Feng paid no mind to whether Nan Zishi was willing or not. He flapped his wings and carried her to a grove of tall trees on a high mountain not far from the coast.
Countless Bird Beastmen descended, folding their wings among the various groves and shifting into their humanoid forms.
Meanwhile, Nan Zishi was now very far from Chi Xiao. The fifteen minutes were up, and she gradually reverted to her human form.
Her clothes were torn, leaving two large holes in the back where her wings had been. Fortunately, her long hair covered her smooth back.
The many Bird Beastmen looked at Nan Zishi with excitement, then turned to Han Feng with envy.
’How did Han Feng get so lucky, getting to fly while carrying such a beautiful female bird?’
’And a female from the High Mountain Red Eagle Clan, at that! If one could have a brood of Bird Beastmen with her, even getting one or two descendants from the High Mountain Fire Red Eagle Clan would be a huge score!’
Nan Zishi climbed off Han Feng’s back.
’She had intended to come to the Bird Beastman Tribe to find Fufu anyway.’
’Infiltrating the Bird Beastman Tribe like this worked out pretty well.’
The commotion here attracted the attention of the Bird Clan’s females, and the female Eastern Bird Beasts also flew over from afar.
