Chapter 47: Giving Up Humanity, a Fifth-Rank Great Demon Serves as Practice for the Nudi
At the same time, deep in the dense forest not far from Zhang Yi and the others, a fierce battle was underway.
Nudi, who was responsible for foraging, was currently locked in a struggle with a massive Golden-Haired Roar.
Relying on her agile physique and incredible speed, Nudi constantly circled around the Golden-Haired Roar, taking every opportunity to land a few blows on her opponent.
However, although Nudi had touched the threshold of advancing to the Great Divine Beast realm, she had yet to complete the breakthrough.
In contrast, the Golden-Haired Roar she was fighting was a Great Demon with strength reaching the fifth rank.
This creature was massive, covered in golden fur, and its pair of blood-red, copper-bell-like eyes were flashing with a fierce light; its huge mouth revealed sharp fangs, and one could tell at a glance that this was definitely not a creature to be trifled with.
"Roar!"
Perhaps it was annoyed by this "little bird" that didn't know the meaning of death.
The Golden-Haired Roar let out an angry roar, raised its millstone-sized claw, and swiped it fiercely toward her.
If it weren't for Nudi's agility and quick reflexes, she likely would have been smashed into a pulp by that single blow.
She flashed her figure, quickly dodging the Golden-Haired Roar's fatal strike while simultaneously backhanding a fierce claw strike toward it.
"Bang!"
Unfortunately, when her claw touched the Golden-Haired Roar, she discovered that even though she had used every ounce of her strength, she still couldn't shake the opponent in the slightest.
Instead, she herself was impacted by the powerful energy radiating from the Golden-Haired Roar, nearly losing her footing and being sent flying backward.
"Damn it! I don't know what this beast eats on a daily basis, but its skin is so thick!"
Nudi couldn't help but curse under her breath.
Although she was complaining, she knew clearly in her heart that while her speed was fast, the gap in cultivation could not be bridged by speed alone.
Her current attack power was simply insufficient to cause any substantial damage to the Golden-Haired Roar.
In reality, she was only trying to stall for time; once Xiao Pu brought reinforcements, everything would be resolved.
However, while she wanted to stall for time, the Golden-Haired Roar had no patience for this game of house.
Previously, her repeated harassment had already left the creature filled with rage.
Her last claw strike, while causing no substantial damage, had torn out a few of its shimmering golden hairs.
One had to know that this Golden-Haired Roar cared most about its golden mane, and now that it was being toyed with by a little creature, how could it endure it?
At this moment, it no longer had any desire to toy with her and had already developed a murderous intent toward this "little bird" that dared to provoke it.
"Roar!"
The Golden-Haired Roar let out another angry roar, its massive body like a small mountain as it lunged fiercely toward Nudi.
Seeing the opponent coming with such ferocity, Nudi naturally dared not take it head-on and could only flap her wings again to fly up and dodge the Golden-Haired Roar's attack.
Just like that, one bird and one roar began a fierce chase in the dense forest.
However, as the battle continued.
Nudi gradually felt her stamina failing, and streaks of blood began to appear on her body.
……
"Brother! Your younger sister seems like she can't hold on much longer!"
"Should I step in instead?"
In the bushes in the distance, Long Ge watched the two beasts fighting and spoke with some anxiety.
"Yes, son!"
"This Golden-Haired Roar is a fifth-rank Great Demon! Your younger sister, she..."
Beside him, Ju Niao Mu Qin looked at Zhang Yi with a worried expression.
Although she knew her daughter was gifted and far stronger than others of the same rank, the gap in cultivation was simply too great; with her current cultivation, facing a fifth-rank Great Demon alone, there was absolutely no possibility of victory.
Yet, facing the urging of the two, Zhang Yi gestured for them to be "at ease."
"Don't worry, I have it under control. This girl has lived too comfortably; it's time to let her face some danger alone and adapt to the new environment!"
As Zhang Yi spoke, he pulled out a chicken leg from somewhere in the next second, and while gnawing on it, he watched the show with great interest.
"Practice... practice?"
Once those words left his mouth, Long Ge and Xiao Pu and the others were instantly stunned.
"Brother! Are you mistaken? This is a fifth-rank Great Demon! You're letting your own younger sister risk her life for practice?"
Long Ge looked at the indifferent Zhang Yi as if he were a monster.
"Exactly, this isn't a joke! If something happens..."
Ju Niao Mu Qin, standing to the side, also chimed in to persuade him.
"Relax, relax! I have it under control!"
Zhang Yi waved his hand, interrupting Long Ge, and then took another bite of the chicken leg.
"Ever since this girl was born, she has been protected by me and Mother; her life has been far too comfortable, and perhaps she has long forgotten the law of the jungle where the strong prey on the weak."
"Now is the perfect opportunity to let her get some real experience!"
"But..."
"No more 'buts'! Just watch carefully! This girl isn't so easily defeated!"
Zhang Yi interrupted Long Ge again, his gaze returning to the battlefield in the distance.
……
"Roar!"
The Golden-Haired Roar let out another angry roar, its massive claw swiping fiercely toward the little Nudi.
The little Nudi was currently exhausted, her speed had slowed down, and it looked as if she was about to be hit by the Golden-Haired Roar's attack.
"It's over!"
Seeing this, Ju Niao Mu Qin and Xiao Pu couldn't help but cry out in alarm.
Just at this critical moment, a black shadow suddenly descended from the sky, blocking the path in front of Nudi.
"Bang!"
With a loud boom, the Golden-Haired Roar's attack landed on the black shadow.
"Long Ge?"
Nudi looked at the massive figure blocking her path and finally let out a sigh of relief.
"Alright, leave the rest to me!"
Long Ge turned his head to look at little Nudi: "Go to the side and rest for a while, watch how I deal with this shedding-fur roar!"
"I..."
"But..."
"No buts! Get going quickly!"
Long Ge's tone grew a bit heavier.
Seeing this, little Nudi knew that saying anything else would be useless, so she could only obediently retreat to the side.
"Roar!"
Seeing its attack blocked, the Golden-Haired Roar became even more furious, let out another angry roar, and lunged fiercely toward Long Ge.
"Little thing, daring to snatch food from this dragon, you really are tired of living!"
Long Ge let out a cold snort, his massive dragon claw suddenly swung out and slammed fiercely onto the Golden-Haired Roar's body.
"Bang!"
With a loud boom, the Golden-Haired Roar's massive body was sent flying directly, snapping several large trees before crashing heavily onto the ground.
"Awoo..."
The Golden-Haired Roar let out a painful howl, struggling as it tried to crawl up.
However, Long Er did not intend to give it that chance.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The Wind God Pterosaur struck claw after claw, slamming them fiercely onto the Golden-Haired Roar's body.
The Golden-Haired Roar was beaten until its skin was torn and flesh mangled, dripping with blood, yet it still refused to submit, struggling continuously in an attempt to counterattack.
It was just a pity that its strength was far too different from the Wind God Pterosaur's; even though it resisted with all its might, it was still to no avail.
"Hmph, you overestimating thing, daring to set your sights on my rations, you are simply courting death!"
The Wind God Pterosaur let out a cold snort and only stopped when the opponent could no longer move.
"Long Ge, mighty!"
Seeing that the battle was nearly over, Zhang Yi, who had been hiding in the bushes, finally arrived late with Ju Niao Mu Qin and Xiao Pu.
"Hmph, you brat, stop with the empty talk; if I hadn't acted in time, your Younger Sister would have been beaten to death by that beast long ago!"
The Wind God Pterosaur rolled his eyes and said irritably.
"Hehe, Long Ge, I just knew you would definitely act at the critical moment, that's why I..."
