Chapter 457: Enhancement of the Void Wandering Spirit

"They don't need them right now—take them!"

"Thank you!"

Liu Mengyun stood silently beside him, a bad premonition stirring in her heart.

She knew that, whether or not the Ice Moon Sprite succeeded after consuming the Spirit God Fruit, it would likely, like the Shadow Phantom Cat, gradually lean toward Su Yang.

Watching the Ice Moon Sprite's ecstatic face, she felt a bitter pang inside.

They were all her own pet beasts!

Storm Eagle was now a Platinum High-Grade pet beast.

In the past, for Su Yang to enter the depths of Mount Yandang, he needed at least seven or eight days of travel.

But now, Storm Eagle had taken less than three days.

This greatly saved Su Yang's time.

Relying on Storm Eagle's aerial reconnaissance, Su Yang frantically hunted and slaughtered ferocious beasts across Mount Yandang.

Su Yang moved almost without restraint in Mount Yandang—even Liu Mengyun grew concerned for their safety.

As the squad leader of the Treasures Pavilion hunting team, Liu Mengyun possessed extensive wilderness survival experience.

Even she, whenever entering the depths of Mount Yandang, was cautious beyond caution.

Because you never knew—on some unlucky day—you might encounter a Shine-Rank or King-Rank ferocious beast…

But what about Su Yang?

He was utterly unchecked, treating Mount Yandang like his own backyard!

Yet Liu Mengyun also understood Su Yang's advantage.

Storm Eagle, high in the sky!

Thanks to Storm Eagle's terrifying reconnaissance ability, the two had avoided several dangers.

In truth, Liu Mengyun did not know that Su Yang had another trump card.

That was the Earth Storm Bear's crisis detection!

While Su Yang fought the Platinum-level Giant Demon Monkey tribe on the ground, Liu Mengyun suddenly spotted a Thousand Cloud Wind Crane passing in the distance.

Merely by its size, Liu Mengyun knew this Thousand Cloud Wind Crane likely possessed Shine-Rank power!

"Commander Su, a Thousand Cloud Wind Crane just passed by—should we avoid it?"

Not every powerful ferocious beast will attack when encountered.

It depends on its mood, whether it's hungry!

"I know—should it come this way?"

"No, it's just passing by, several kilometers away!"

"Several kilometers?" Su Yang shouted after punching a Platinum Low-Grade Giant Demon Monkey to death, "Get it to come here!"

"Get it to come here?"

When the Thousand Cloud Wind Crane appeared, Storm Eagle had already alerted Su Yang.

Su Yang had not ordered Storm Eagle to act—its rank was already high enough.

But what Su Yang hadn't expected was that the Thousand Cloud Wind Crane was merely passing, its flight path far from his position—was he supposed to chase a Shine-Rank flying ferocious beast?

That would be utterly unrealistic!

Fortunately, Liu Mengyun was still here!

"Yes!"

"Are you sure… you can handle it?"

"No problem!"

That was a Shine-Rank ferocious beast!

But it was Su Yang's order!

Liu Mengyun did not believe Su Yang would act recklessly.

She gritted her teeth and ordered Black Tiger Eagle: "Wind Blade—attack it!"

A wind blade, whistling through the air, shot straight toward the Shine-Rank Thousand Cloud Wind Crane.

Wind Blade has a long range!

But Black Tiger Eagle was only a Platinum Mid-Grade pet beast—over such a distance, that wind blade could not possibly hit the Shine-Rank Thousand Cloud Wind Crane.

Yet Liu Mengyun successfully enraged the Thousand Cloud Wind Crane.

The Thousand Cloud Wind Crane dodged the wind blade, turned around, and flew straight toward Liu Mengyun.

Being targeted by a Shine-Rank ferocious beast… was truly thrilling!

Accompanying the Thousand Cloud Wind Crane's charge were over thirty terrifying cyan wind blades.

Liu Mengyun's scalp prickled!

This Thousand Cloud Wind Crane was no simple Shine-Rank Low-Grade or Mid-Grade ferocious beast!

Black Tiger Eagle also sensed the danger and began wildly dodging.

Standing on Black Tiger Eagle's back, Liu Mengyun took a deep breath and shouted: "Commander Su, it's coming… I feel like I'm going to die!"

Her voice carried a hint of grievance.

"Hah!"

Su Yang laughed at her.

He rarely heard negative emotion in Liu Mengyun's speech.

She always spoke calmly, coldly, with very little emotion attached.

Yet the fact that Liu Mengyun obeyed his order and helped lure a Shine-Rank ferocious beast pleased Su Yang greatly.

"Don't worry, it's fine!"

Su Yang teleported instantly and landed steadily before Liu Liu Mengyun.

Seeing Su Yang standing before her, Liu Liu Mengyun suddenly felt less afraid.

To deal with a Star-Shine High-Grade flying beast, it's best to kill it with one strike!

Su Yang ordered: "Void Wandering Spirit, you take it!"

From Su Yang's waist, the mist-like Void Wandering Spirit quivered violently.

A kilometer away, the ferocious Thousand Cloud Wind Crane let out a shriek of agony.

Liu Liu Mengyun watched as it plummeted from the sky, its massive body crushing a small Shanfeng, then rolling into a valley and snapping every tree along its path.

Countless low-grade beasts began scattering in panic.

The wind blades hurtling toward them veered strangely midair and slammed into the ground…

As if controlled by some mysterious force!

"Ding~ Your pet Void Wandering Spirit has slain the Star-Shine High-Grade Thousand Cloud Wind Crane. Experience + 300 billion!"

"Ding~ Your pet Void Wandering Spirit has leveled up to Platinum Mid-Grade!"

Not bad—Star-Shine High-Grade beasts are literally experience gift packs.

The Void Wandering Spirit consumed a lot, but it was worth it!

"Alright, it's dead—go collect the corpse!"

"Yes, Colonel!"

Su Yang vanished instantly before his eyes and rushed off to deal with the Giant Demon Monkeys.

Liu Liu Mengyun rode the Black Tiger Eagle down to the body of the Thousand Cloud Wind Crane.

Looking down at the massive corpse, Liu Liu Mengyun saw no wounds on its exterior.

Blood dripped from the Thousand Cloud Wind Crane's mouth, nostrils, and eyes.

Liu Liu Mengyun pulled out her dagger and struggled to pry open the crane's skull, extracting its core, then painstakingly sawed off each of its talons one by one.

Fortunately, her dagger was forged from the fang of a King-Grade beast.

Otherwise, she could never have processed the Thousand Cloud Wind Crane's corpse.

As she sliced open the crane's abdomen and saw its shredded internal organs, Liu Liu Mengyun finally understood how the Thousand Cloud Wind Crane had died.

"Penetrating the outer defenses to strike the organs directly?" Liu Liu Mengyun licked her dry lips. "What a terrifying attack—how could anyone withstand that?"

A beast's defenses are usually concentrated on its surface!

Outer armor, tough hair, feathers, scales, skin… these are their defenses.
