Chapter 105 The Emerald Bird
Yu Tianyun and Zhu Zhuqing sat side by side by the stream, enjoying a warm and cozy meal of grilled fish. Yu Tianyun gazed at the beautiful face beside him, but his mind was racing, trying to figure out how to find a suitable soul beast for Zhu Zhuqing.
"We've been searching for half a day, but haven't found a soul beast that's the best match for Zhu Qing. Should we use the Fragrant Silk Immortal Item to attract soul beasts and increase the search efficiency? But that would inevitably attract too many. Although I'm not afraid of them myself, I might not be able to completely protect Zhu Qing; it's a bit risky. Should we do it or not?...
"Not good!..." Yu Tianyun, who was deep in thought, suddenly sprang up and pounced on Zhu Zhuqing at an extremely fast speed. In the rush, Yu Tianyun only had time to release his huge dragon wings to protect Zhu Zhuqing tightly.
Immediately afterwards, Yu Tianyun felt something strike the dragon's wing heavily. The force wasn't too great, and he could easily withstand it, but if such force had landed on Zhu Zhuqing, it would have definitely killed her instantly.
Yu Tianyun was furious and quickly helped Zhu Zhuqing up, turning to look at the attacker.
Just now, he had been using his spiritual power to sense the area within a hundred meters when he suddenly discovered a bird-like soul beast rushing towards them at an extremely fast speed. Yu Tianyun instinctively protected Zhu Zhuqing first, and had no time to carefully sense the surroundings.
At this moment, looking at this soul beast, he couldn't help but feel a surge of disgust.
It was a bird-like spirit beast, entirely emerald green in color. Only its beak was a vibrant red, resembling that of a woodpecker. It looked no bigger than the palm of a hand, but its small, emerald green eyes gleamed with an extremely fierce light.
Yu Tianyun had never seen such a soul beast before. He was certain that none of the soul beast information he had studied had mentioned it. Clearly, it was a soul beast that had never been recorded by humans or was mistakenly believed to be extinct.
Yu Tianyun's mind raced like lightning as he recalled records of rare soul beasts from his past life.
In the blink of an eye, he had searched his memory for relevant information about this kind of soul beast.
This bird-like spirit beast is none other than the famous Emerald Demon Bird, which will appear tens of thousands of years later!
Its power is absolutely no less than that of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear and the Titan Giant Ape; it is one of the best among super soul beasts!
The Emerald Demon Bird is one of the most cruel bird-type spirit beasts. Like the auspicious beast Three-Eyed Golden Lion, it enjoys sucking brain marrow, but the Three-Eyed Golden Lion only feeds on the brain marrow of light-attribute spirit beasts. The Emerald Demon Bird targets both spirit beasts and humans, but it has a particular fondness for human brain marrow. Like the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, the Emerald Demon Bird is feared and loathed by all spirit beasts.
This kind of soul beast moves like lightning, its speed ranking among the top in the entire soul beast world. However, its numbers are extremely rare. Yu Tianyun thought that this kind of soul beast should have gone extinct long ago, but he never expected that they would encounter it today.
The Emerald Bird once caused a great catastrophe in ancient times. Back then, they were gregarious spirit beasts. When a flock of Emerald Birds flew by, all creatures had holes in their heads and no brains! Compared to that, the Dark Demon God Tiger and the Human-Faced Demon Spider were just minor troubles.
It is said that back then, a king of emerald birds once absorbed the brain marrow of a true dragon, and through continuous evolution, became the most terrifying killer of that era.
It was precisely because the true dragon was killed that the dragon race, which ruled the continent at that time, concentrated its strength, organized the soul beasts, and launched a large-scale operation to exterminate the Emerald Demon Bird.
Under the leadership of the dragons, these types of soul beasts were almost completely wiped out, with only a handful surviving. This greatly reduced the threat posed by the Emerald Demon Bird to the creatures of the continent; even when it did appear, it was only occasional, and the creatures became extremely cautious.
After recalling this information, Yu Tianyun understood why he felt aversion to such soul beasts; it was an innate trait brought about by his martial soul.
Zhu Zhuqing was still unaware of what had happened. She looked up at Yu Tianyun with a question in her eyes, but before she could ask, Yu Tianyun's figure flashed and disappeared from her side in an instant.
The appearance of the dangerous spirit beast, the Emerald Demon Bird, which even attacked his kitten, infuriated Yu Tianyun. However, he also showed some respect for the Emerald Demon Bird. He had already fully transformed into a dragon, and after all, the bird's beak was incredibly sharp; he didn't want to be harmed due to carelessness.
Yu Tianyun has always preferred to play it safe. He would never deliberately conceal his strength in order to appear as a master. His style, like his personality, has always been swift and decisive, aiming to kill with a single blow.
In Yu Tianyun's perception, this Emerald Demon Bird only had a cultivation level of a little over a thousand years. As for the exact amount, Yu Tianyun could only say that it probably did not exceed eighteen hundred years.
Given the Green Demon Bird's abilities as a super soul beast and its extremely high speed, it would be impossible for an ordinary Soul Saint to subdue it.
But Yu Tianyun is not included!
Not to mention that Yu Tianyun's combat power is comparable to that of a Soul Douluo at all times, in terms of Yu Tianyun's soul power cultivation, if converted into a soul beast, it would be equivalent to a soul beast with eight or nine thousand years of cultivation.
Furthermore, given Yu Tianyun's bloodline, which is even more concentrated than that of a true dragon, even a true dragon with nine thousand years of cultivation would be no match for him, let alone this emerald demon bird that is just over a thousand years old. Moreover, Yu Tianyun's soul skills are all amplification-type; if he were to unleash them at full power, his physical attributes would surge to an extremely terrifying level. His speed would definitely be much faster than this emerald demon bird.
In an instant, Yu Tianyun's figure flashed from beside Zhu Zhuqing to in front of the Emerald Demon Bird.
The emerald demon bird, with its thousand-year cultivation, was still reeling from being knocked away by Yu Tianyun's dragon wings, its head still spinning.
Since its birth, it had never encountered anything so hard in this Sunset Forest. Usually, no matter what kind of creature it was, unless it had a high level of cultivation, it would have a hole torn in its head by a sneak attack.
Today it happened to find two of its favorite humans. It could sense that one of them was extremely dangerous, but the other seemed very weak.
Tempted by the delicious food, the creature, which was not very intelligent to begin with, decided to first absorb the brain of the weak human before quickly leaving. However, it didn't expect to crash so hard into an incredibly hard object.
Yu Tianyun didn't care about its current state. With the dragon claws that materialized in his hands, he grabbed the Emerald Demon Bird with lightning speed. He would never give it a quick death.
Yu Tianyun's left hand, with its dragon claw, gripped the long beak of the Emerald Demon Bird and snapped it off with a gentle force. Before the bird could even scream, he spread its wings with both hands, and with a slight squeeze of his dragon fingers, crushed a piece of bone in its wing. This wasn't the end of it; his dragon fingers moved slowly, grinding the flesh and bone in the wing like grinding beans, muttering to himself:
"Dare to hurt Zhu Qing? I'll make you regret ever being born!"
