Chapter 126: Is the Seven-Colored Auspicious Cloud Being Refined?
The Jubiao mother was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, her massive bird face full of distress.
She watched helplessly as Zhang Yi writhed in agony within the Seven-Colored Auspicious Cloud, like a fish being deep-fried, and her heart felt like it was breaking.
"My child! Hold on!"
She roared, flapping her wings once more, attempting to charge into the turbulent energy.
As expected, the moment she got close, she was repelled by a powerful force, feathers flying everywhere, looking utterly disheveled.
Nudi caught the Jubiao mother, who had nearly fallen, and gazed at the Seven-Colored Auspicious Cloud with a complex expression.
The dense energy made her mouth water, but she knew her own limits; let alone absorbing it, even getting close was a pipe dream.
She couldn't help but look at the Quetzalcoatlus with a hint of jealousy, "This brat, by what right can he absorb the energy of the Seven-Colored Auspicious Cloud?"
Jealousy aside, she still wanted to try again; what if she could snag some benefits?
Thus, she elegantly flapped her wings and approached the auspicious cloud once more.
"Hey! What are you looking at! Hurry up and pull me out!"
Zhang Yi shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice sounding exceptionally shrill amidst the turbulent energy.
Nudi glanced at him as if looking at an idiot, "Pull you? How? I can barely save myself!"
She didn't have the kindness to save a "competitor"; she was more interested in how the Quetzalcoatlus was absorbing the energy.
"This kid, he is actually absorbing the energy of the auspicious cloud..."
Nudi thought to herself, her eyes full of inquiry.
Suddenly, she seemed to discover something, her eyes lighting up, "No! He isn't absorbing it, he is... enjoying it?"
Nudi keenly sensed that although the Quetzalcoatlus appeared to be absorbing energy, in reality, he was just "swimming" in it.
Just like soaking in a hot spring, he was humming with comfort.
Zhang Yi, however, was completely different; he was being forcibly infused by the energy, in extreme pain.
"So that's it, this kid is refining the energy of the Seven-Colored Auspicious Cloud! No wonder it's so painful..."
Nudi had a sudden realization, her jealousy deepening, "This kid, to be able to even refine the Seven-Colored Auspicious Cloud, he really has hit the jackpot..."
"Refine my ass! I'm about to be blown up!"
Zhang Yi heard Nudi's inner thoughts and nearly fainted from anger, "You dead girl, hurry up and save your brother! If you don't save me, you'll never see your handsome and dashing brother again!"
Nudi rolled her eyes, "Save you? How? I'm powerless to help!"
She was telling the truth; the energy of the Seven-Colored Auspicious Cloud was too violent, and she couldn't get close at all.
"This Seven-Colored Auspicious Cloud has been in this Core Zone of the Trial Land for years, absorbing countless energy, and has long been invincible. Let alone you and me, even if those old monsters came, they might not be able to absorb its energy."
Nudi said slowly.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yi felt his heart turn to ash.
It's over, it's a total disaster, this time I'm really going to kick the bucket here.
He felt his body was like a balloon about to explode, ready to burst at any moment.
Just then, the Quetzalcoatlus suddenly let out a joyous long howl, "Refreshing! So refreshing! This energy is simply more nourishing than that so-called thousand-year spirit mushroom!"
The scales on his body became even more dazzling, emitting seven-colored light, and he looked full of vigor.
"Damn it, this dead dragon, he's actually still showing off!"
Zhang Yi cursed inwardly, feeling like he was about to be angered to death.
On the outskirts of the Trial Land, a group of Demon Beasts watched as if it were a show, stretching their necks and pointing at the Core Zone.
Even from far away, the light of the Seven-Colored Auspicious Cloud was still dazzling, not to mention Zhang Yi struggling and rolling in the cloud and the Quetzalcoatlus "swimming" leisurely.
"Tsk tsk, another one throwing their life away."
A porcupine Demon Beast covered in barbs nudged its companion with its nose.
Its tone was full of schadenfreude, "Are the brains of these Wangri Birds broken? Knowing full well that the auspicious cloud can't be touched, they keep charging at it."
"Indeed,"
Beside it, a slender spirit cat Demon Beast licked its claws, its eyes flashing with mockery, "And that stupid dragon, actually running under the auspicious cloud to bathe? Haha! I'm afraid it's going to be fried into dragon skewers in a moment!"
The surrounding Demon Beasts burst into raucous laughter, as if they had already foreseen the miserable end of Zhang Yi and the Quetzalcoatlus.
At this moment.
A Great Demon from the Demon Saint Mansion swept a contemptuous glance at the Core Zone and said arrogantly: "What a pity, I haven't entered the Core Zone; otherwise, if that Seven-Colored Auspicious Cloud fell on my head, I could refine it in minutes, how could I let it be so arrogant?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding Demon Beasts immediately erupted.
"Well said! How could the strength of the experts from the Demon Saint Mansion be compared to the likes of them?"
A massive rhinoceros Demon Beast said in a muffled voice, "That Seven-Colored Auspicious Cloud falling into the hands of a Wangri Bird is simply a waste of a heavenly treasure! If it fell into the hands of someone from the Demon Saint Mansion, it could unleash its true value!"
"Exactly, exactly!"
A gaudy peacock Demon Beast also chimed in, "Look at that stupid bird and foolish dragon, they only know how to mess around; unlike our lords from the Demon Saint Mansion, all of whom are the cream of the crop, the heaven's chosen!"
But some Demon Beasts expressed disdain for this.
"Pfft, who can't brag?"
A wolf Demon hidden in the shadows sneered, "You people from the Demon Saint Mansion can't even enter the Core Zone, yet you have the nerve to mock the Wangri Bird? At least they got in, what about you? Just staring blankly from the outside!"
"Exactly, as if you could really refine the Seven-Colored Auspicious Cloud."
Another winged leopard Demon also mocked, "I think you're just sour grapes because you can't reach them?"
The man in the brocade robe's expression darkened, a flash of anger in his eyes.
Just as he was about to retort, he suddenly heard a deafening dragon roar coming from the Core Zone.
They saw the Quetzalcoatlus bathed in seven-colored light, like a god descending to earth, his aura imposing.
He looked up and roared, his voice full of pride and excitement: "Refreshing! So refreshing! This energy is simply more nourishing than a thousand-year spirit mushroom! Hahaha..."
The surrounding Demon Beasts were all stunned.
"This... how is this possible?" The Porcupine Demon Beast widened its eyes, its face full of disbelief, "He is actually absorbing the energy of the Seven-Colored Auspicious Cloud? And he even looks like he's enjoying it?"
"This is impossible!" Chiyanhuye exclaimed in shock; he could not believe that a mere Pterosaur could actually absorb the energy of the Seven-Colored Auspicious Cloud.
Moreover, looking at him, he seemed to be in no pain at all, but rather enjoying it?
At this moment.
The Great Demon of the Demon Saint Mansion noticed something was wrong.
He shouted, "No, the one truly absorbing and refining the energy is that Wangri Bird!"
All the Demon Beasts looked over in unison!
Their gazes were fixed firmly on the pained-looking Zhang Yi.
Sure enough, it was the Wangri Bird doing the refining!
