Chapter 153: The Fire-Footed Raven King
"Hmph, how do you know I haven't seen it?" Sun Fengzhao was reluctant to deal with Cao Jiayi, and everyone along the way was like this. But in the face of Cao Jiayi's identity and cultivation, they didn't dare to face the conflict with her. So in Cao Jiayi's ridicule, Sun Fengzhao just snorted angrily, and didn't say anything to contradict it.
"Three-legged black, this ancient spirit beast has never been seen by a monk before, nor has it appeared in any classics. Maybe they were lost in the catastrophe of the ancient monks, right? Since their appearance and flame are not different from the first-order demon beast Fire-Footed Crow, except for having one more foot, some people simply call the Three-legged Crow Fire-footed Crow, or the Fire-Footed Crow. It is precisely because of this way of getting their name that the three-legged black and the low-level demon beast such as the fire-footed crow are implicated, making them seriously ignored by some monks in the immortal cultivation world......"
Cao Jiayi didn't know which tendon was wrong, not only deliberately slowed down the speed of the Moon Sky Shenzhou, but also explained the difference between the three-legged crow and the fire-footed crow for Sun Fengzhao.
Hua Jue and the others also gathered at the bow of the boat at this time and listened to Cao Jiayi's explanation with Sun Fengzhao. This is a rare and excellent opportunity for them, the rookies in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, to increase their experience and knowledge.
They soon also really learned that the fire-footed crows were one of the low-level spirit beasts, and the artificially cultivated fire-footed crows of Wu Yazi were roughly at the middle and lower levels of first-order spirit beasts. However, this spirit animal has a terrible habit, that is, living in groups.
What's worse is that they don't like to be grouped yet. This is troublesome, the average flock of fire-footed crows has at least tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands is not a spectacle.
The cliff a little farther away is obviously the place where the entire Wu Yazi lives in captivity on one of the four islands. At this time, the eyes of the small people were full of fiery red rough sandstone texture, not only did not grow a single inch of grass on it, but also exuded a trace of heat from time to time, obviously containing a lot of fire spirit power.
This kind of stone is not of great use to immortal cultivators. But for a fire-attribute spirit animal like a fire-footed crow, it is the best nesting spot.
The cliffs are towering into the clouds, steep and difficult to climb, and it is naturally easy for the fire-footed crows to enter and exit, but those beast-like spirit beasts can only be discouraged.
Even if it is a high-level spirit beast, as long as it is not a bird, when it is in the air, how can it be their opponent to attack it in groups.
Coupled with the supply of fire spiritual power throughout the mountain, whether it is the cultivation of these fire-footed crows themselves or the incubation of the next generation, there is a lot of help and benefit.
Standing at the bow of the boat where Sun Fengzhao and the others were, it was facing the front of the cliff, and from here it could be clearly seen that there were dense nests on it.
These nests seem to be a complex structure of earth, rocks, and trees, and the size is not too small, and it is not uncommon to see more than five fire-footed jays entering and exiting the same nest, probably a family, but I don't know how many generations have lived together.
Regardless of anything else, the materials of these nests alone are a lot of wealth for any immortal cultivator, especially a fire attribute immortal cultivator.
After all, the fire-footed crow is a natural fire-attribute spirit animal, although it does not have too high requirements for materials when building a nest, its nature will still make it constantly look for fire-related materials to join it.
In these hundreds of thousands of nests, I don't know how many fire-attribute broken spirit stones, elixirs, and spiritual materials are in them, which is really coveted.
Of course, Sun Fengzhao, Hua Jue and the others are just thinking about it, they are still very sober, and there are more than 10 million monks who have made up their minds about Wu Yazi's huge fire-footed crow in history. But there is no one who can get close to them, kill all these fire-footed crows, and then take all the fire-type nests here for themselves.
Over the years, I have heard of how many monks buried their bones under the cliffs of this fire-footed crow. This kind of obvious death-seeking thing, the small ones naturally won't do it.
After Cao Jiayi explained the difference between the three-legged crow and the fire-footed crow for a while, Sun Fengzhao secretly thought in his mind: "After all, these low-level varieties of fire-footed crows among low-level spirit beasts, in addition to flying faster, can breathe fire, they should not be considered powerful."
But while thinking about it, Sun Fengzhao had gradually flown very close to this cliff. His habitual divine sense swept over the cliff, and his face suddenly showed a look of horror, and even his voice seemed a little trembling: "Million! There are more than a million fire-footed crows here?......
The number reached as many as a million, even if it was a first-level demon beast, it was enough to shock anyone, and it was a matter of every minute and every second to devour any pretentious monk. Of course, Sun Fengzhao didn't think that he had super high magical powers, and he could make exceptions and not be devoured when he angered these low-level fire-footed crows.
But the bad thing is that just as Sun Fengzhao was shocked, a wisp of his divine sense couldn't be controlled, and it escaped a little farther, and suddenly disturbed some patrolling fire-footed crows that kept hovering over the cliff.
Thousands of fire-footed crows clucked and surrounded them, up and down, front and back, left and right, densely like a black ball, tightly wrapping the entire small Moon Sky Divine Boat in it. and kept croaking and screaming, as if he was asking Sun Fengzhao and the others whether they were friends or foes. Or send a signal to other people of the same kind on the cliff to surround this moon god boat.
Sun Fengzhao and the other small bodies suddenly froze, and they didn't dare to act rashly for a while. Although there is no shortage of magic weapons, ancient spirit weapons, and spirit treasures on several people. But as long as these things are activated, there will inevitably be fluctuations in spiritual power, coupled with the fluctuations in the mana of each monk and the evil qi released, then a disaster will be inevitable. With the powerful combination of two Yuanying Monks, one Jiedan Monk, two Foundation Building Monks, and three Qi Refining Cultivators on this Moon Heaven Divine Boat at this time, it may not be possible to fight a way out of the current group of fire-footed crows.
However, in this way, it alarmed the millions of more fire-footed crows behind, and the pursuit and killing at that time was not something that their group could deal with. It's better to be avoided, just imagine the scene of running all the way in the pursuit of millions of fire-footed crows, it makes people shudder.
Fortunately, things didn't go in the worst direction, and they were watched by thousands of fire-footed crows with their red eyes, and although it wasn't very pleasant, it was still within the range of patience. Those fire-footed crows were obviously low-level spirit beasts raised by Wu Yazi on the four islands, and they would not easily attack people indiscriminately.
"Stinky boys, are you scared?" Cao Jiayi made an uncomfortable sound when she shouldn't.
"Hmph!" Sun Fengzhao, Hua Jue and Chu Yunfei let out a pretentious cold snort together, expressing that they had the confidence in their hearts and were not afraid of these fire-footed crows. But in fact, his legs and stomachs were trembling, and he didn't dare to gasp again, for fear of disturbing this group of hateful-looking and ugly crows.
"Giggles, don't be afraid, fire-footed crows fly over, fly over, bite these stinky boys, bite them......" Cao Jiayi was like a naughty little girl at this time, and Sun Fengzhao and others were really exhausted. She even removed the shield on the entire Moon God Boat, and jumped up and down with a jade hand, loudly beckoning the fire-footed crows surrounded outside the boat to come in and bite Sun Fengzhao and the others.
"You ..... you...... What are you doing? Are you crazy, put the shield back on...... You crazy woman...... "Hua Jue hated this low-level spirit beast like a crow, and when he first saw these fire-footed crows, he felt disgusted and shivered in his heart. So when Cao Jiayi ripped off the shield of the entire Moon Sky Shenzhou, she was the first to lose control and scream.
"Giggle...... Cao Jiayi looked at Hua Jue and almost peed his pants, giggling happily.
"Among ordinary birds and beasts, the crow is a creature with high intelligence, and as a first-order spirit beast, the fire-footed crow, although it cannot be compared with the crow, an ordinary bird and beast. But with my understanding of this low-level spirit beast, it should not be low in terms of wisdom. They should know that we have no hostile intentions, as long as you don't release hostile divine consciousness and evil qi indiscriminately, I think these fire-footed crows raised by Elder Wu will not hurt people casually!"
Lu Qixin saw the performance of Sun Fengzhao and others who were strong and middle-class, and expressed some of his understanding and opinions about the fire-footed crow in a timely manner, so as to help Sun Fengzhao and others solve their dilemma.
"Ouch, good niece is so knowledgeable!" Cao Jiayi turned her head and glanced at Lu Qixin, who came to demolish her city wall, and half-truthfully praised Lu Qixin.
"Okay, don't make a fuss...... You don't have to be nervous, Qi Xin is right, these fire-footed crows raised by Wu Yazi will not attack people indiscriminately, they are leading the way for us again...... Senior sister, you are too naughty, quickly release the shield, the people who welcome the guests from the four islands are almost here......." Dong Xueqing, who had been sitting in the Moon Heaven Shenzhou ship, suddenly said in a loud voice.
"Quack, goo...... "Croak, ...... sigh of relief, everyone's relaxed nerves have just relaxed. Suddenly, the fire-footed crows around him suddenly began to cry en masse.
The fire-footed crows had hoarse and dull voices, and there was no end note, just one sentence after another, croaking without pause. Listening to everyone's ears makes people feel chills and tremble.
Just by virtue of such a voice, the secular people regard the crow as an ominous bird, and it is not wronged, "Wicked woman, you must not die well!"
Hua Jue cursed Cao Jiayi with Sun Fengzhao and Chu Yunfei in a low voice. They found that the thousands of fire-footed crows that were screaming began to fly away from their moon god boat and return to the air near their cliff lair, as if they were preparing to meet some important person.
Sun Fengzhao and the others breathed a sigh of relief, and finally confirmed Dong Xueqing's words, and there was no danger for the time being. Only then did they have time to look around, and they saw that their Moon Sky Divine Boat had flown to the top of this cliff.
Even if you don't take into account the vast sky of fire-footed crows and the thousands of watchers around them, in the middle of the cliff alone, in the center of all the fire-footed crow's nests, that huge and striking black nest is enough to make any monk below the level of Yudan tremble.
That, obviously, is the abode of the Firefoot Raven King. With such a large number of fire-footed crows, the strength of the king itself is completely conceivable.
The world of spirit beasts is not like the human world, the means of power and tricks are worthless, and those who can stand at the top of the entire population can only be the strongest in the population.
At this point, human immortal cultivators are no different from spirit beasts.
Just as Sun Fengzhao and the others focused their attention on the huge lair of the Firefoot Crow King, something seemed to have happened to the group of Firefoot Crows circling densely from far and near, and it gradually became a commotion.
More and more fire-footed crows seemed to be hiding from something, and as if they were avoiding the road, from far to near the ground, the fire-footed crows flying in the sky suddenly dispersed left and right in an orderly manner, giving way to an aerial corridor.
Suddenly, clusters of black flames condensed in the sight of Sun Fengzhao and the others, and in an instant, a huge bird full of black feathers, red eyes, three-legged void, and surrounded by black fire appeared from the huge black nest.
"Three-legged black!"
With the exclamation of Hua Jue and the others, Cao Jiayi was again greeted with contemptuous ridicule: "Giggles, this is the three-legged black, you little ghosts are too underestimating the crows...... This is the second or third level of the Fire-Footed Crow King, and the Crow must be using these Fire-Footed Crows to pick up the guests who are participating in the Spirit Hunting Conference! The real three-legged Crow, the crow's stingy ghost refuses to take it out to pick us up......
As soon as Cao Jiayi's words fell, the giant Fire-footed Crow King was like an arrow off the string, following the path given by other Fire-footed Crows, and rushed straight into the huge black nest.
Then, where it passed, the flock of fire-footed crows re-intensified, sealing off its path. Then those fire-footed crows began to form a relatively neat lineup in groups, following behind the Fire-footed Raven King, and slowly flew towards the Moon Sky Divine Boat.
Re-entering the Moon Sky Divine Boat, which was surrounded and protected by all the fire-footed crows, Cao Jiayi once again significantly slowed down her speed, and finally suspended there almost in a state of stopping.
Because of the speed on the Moon Sky Divine Boat before, with the eyesight of Sun Fengzhao and others, they could only barely distinguish the appearance of this fire-footed crow king, and the specific appearance was unknown.
At this time, the Moon Heaven Shenzhou slowed down, and even stopped there at the end, giving Sun Fengzhao and other juniors who had seen this kind of low-level spirit beast king for the first time a chance to observe it closely.
This fire-footed crow king is different from other similar species that can be seen everywhere, first of all, it is dozens of times larger in size, it does not look like a crow, but more like some eagle falcons, and when it swims in the air, it is quite majestic.
Secondly, all of the fire-footed crows were covered in black feathers, with a faint hint of dark red, as if countless feathers were burning. This Fire-Footed Raven King is different, its black feathers glow purple-red, and it feels more pure and bright, with a sense of violence in its calm. You don't need to feel it to know that the power of this flame is definitely far above that of ordinary flames.
This purple red fire-footed crow king should have advanced to the third-level level, and due to the special environment of this red cliff, its strength should be considered strong among the fire-footed crows that Sun Fengzhao and the others have seen at present.
