Chapter 122: Lightning Bird! Da Qi!

Luo Shuiyan stood at the foot of the mountain, looking up at the peak.

A flicker of nostalgia passed through her beautiful eyes.

In her past life, she had experienced many things; that Flame Luan Bird had fought side-by-side with her, and she did not know how many times they had battled on the field.

Until the very end, when her strength was exhausted...

Now, returning to this old place, Luo Shuiyan was filled with deep emotion.

"Let's go, we shall fly up the mountain."

As her voice fell, Luo Shuiyan took the lead and flew toward the sky.

This mountain peak was extremely high; just by reaching the mountainside, there were already many birds circling about.

With so many birds gathered here, the strange cries of the surrounding avian creatures were endless.

Not long after, the four of them, including Luo Shuiyan, successfully flew to the summit.

The surface area of this summit was also very large, with no end in sight at a single glance.

Lin Xueer and the others could not help but exclaim once more at the grandeur and magnificence of the Canglan Mountain Range; the uncanny workmanship of nature was truly miraculous.

"Look! Is that a Lightning Bird?!"

Yi Zimeng suddenly caught sight of a bird flashing by in the distance and exclaimed in surprise.

One could see that the Lightning Bird was like a bolt of lightning in the sky.

Its entire body was golden, its feathers appearing as if crafted from gold, and though its size was only a few meters, it radiated a fierce aura.

Bursts of golden lightning constantly coiled around its body; with a single flap of the Lightning Bird's wings, it was as if lightning flashed and thunder roared.

Everyone present could not help but feel a bit astonished, for one had to know that the number of Lightning Birds was extremely scarce.

This was a type of lightning-attribute flying Spirit Beast with very formidable combat power, and it was extremely precious.

Even within this Canglan Mountain Range, it was very difficult to see one.

They had not expected to happen upon the trail of this Lightning Bird on an unnamed mountain peak.

It was said that, as of now, only the Da Qi possessed the bloodline of this bird.

Furthermore, the Lightning Bird had a powerful bloodline with a high growth ceiling; in most cases, they could eventually grow into an Eighth-Rank Spirit Beast.

"How about it, Zimeng? Do you like this Lightning Bird?"

Luo Shuiyan asked softly after taking a look at the Lightning Bird.

"Mm! I am very satisfied!"

Yi Zimeng nodded quickly with a smile.

A Spirit Beast with such a magnificent appearance, powerful strength, and a rare bloodline was truly something one could only hope for, not seek out.

"Screech!"

Just as the group was discussing it, the Lightning Bird suddenly erupted into action.

With a flap of its thunderous wings, it began to fight with another bird.

This Canglan Mountain Range was a kingdom of Spirit Beasts, so it was inevitable that fighting would occur; such a situation was not surprising.

Moreover, before contracting a Spirit Beast, the Human Race could not interfere in such situations.

Rashly taking action would affect the balance, and this would anger the masters of the Spirit Beast kingdom.

One had to know that those were all terrifying existences that had reached the Saint level; even with Old Guo backing them, Luo Shuiyan and the others dared not provoke them easily.

Although they wanted to contract this Lightning Bird, limited by the rules, Luo Shuiyan and the others could only wait on the sidelines for the battle to end for now.

Boom! Boom! Bursts of thunder rang out in mid-air; this Lightning Bird was only at the forty-sixth level.

Its opponent was a forty-ninth-level ice-attribute flying eagle with an entirely ice-blue body.

This Ice Flying Eagle was also extremely fast; with a wave of its wings, it released monstrous cold energy, and as its wings—which looked as if they were made of ice crystals—flapped, a sky full of ice cones flew toward the Lightning Bird.

Yi Zimeng was also a bit nervous at this moment, fearing that the Lightning Bird would be harmed.

However, it was clear that the Lightning Bird was faster; with a flap of its wings, it turned into a bolt of golden lightning.

She quickly dodged those ice cone attacks and rapidly approached the side of the Ice Flying Eagle.

The golden lightning coiling around the Lightning Bird's body was unleashed fiercely, striking the Ice Flying Eagle directly. In an instant, the feathers on the surface of the ice-blue eagle exploded, and plumes of black smoke rose up.

Clearly, this strike had caused it no small amount of trauma.

The two birds, one gold and one blue, constantly entangled and tore at each other in mid-air, with all sorts of fierce attacks being unleashed in the sky.

Although there was a gap in levels, the Lightning Bird still emerged victorious in the end.

The power of lightning was the most domineering attack attribute; under this powerful thunderous bombardment.

The ice-attribute flying eagle was roasted directly by the Lightning Bird.

However, after all, it was a battle against a higher-level opponent, and the Lightning Bird had also sustained certain injuries.

But she did not rush to treat the wounds on her body and instead began to enjoy the meal directly.

"Zimeng, a good opportunity, go quickly."

Seeing this, Luo Shuiyan quickly took out some healing spirit medicine and handed it to Yi Zimeng.

This kind of timing, offering help in a time of need, was most appropriate for building goodwill with these Spirit Beasts.

The newly injured Lightning Bird had originally been somewhat guarded and cautious.

But when the beautiful and kind-hearted Yi Zimeng carefully helped her treat her wounds, the look in the Lightning Bird's eyes as it gazed at Yi Zimeng softened.

Her golden pupils were filled with gratitude.

"Look! Over there!"

At the same time, on the other side of the mountain peak, eight young men and women were approaching this direction.

These people all had an extraordinary bearing, their clothing was very gorgeous and appropriate, and they were embroidered with the emblem of a Lightning Bird.

They were precisely the young talents from the Great Qi Imperial Family.

Nowadays, the descendants of the Lightning Bird belonging to the Great Qi Imperial Family have increasingly impure bloodlines.

One must know that back then, they had cultivated the Lightning Emperor to a Legendary-Level Spirit Beast.

But the current Great Qi Imperial Family rarely even sees a Lightning Bird with a Grandmaster Level bloodline.

The purpose of these people from the Great Qi Imperial Family coming here is to find pure-blooded Lightning Birds to help the Great Qi Imperial Family improve their Spirit Beast bloodlines.

Thereby cultivating even more formidable imperial Spirit Beasts.

Therefore, the goal of these people from the Great Qi Imperial Family is also very clear.

Once they entered the Canglan Mountain Range, they headed straight for these cloud-piercing peaks, searching for habitats where Lightning Birds might exist.

These people from the Great Qi Imperial Family are very familiar with the habits of Lightning Birds.

It was precisely the combat fluctuations from that Lightning Bird just now that attracted them over.

"Careful! Someone is approaching from this direction!"

Jiang Che sensed someone approaching from afar and hurriedly sent a voice transmission to warn everyone.

Looking at Xiao Hei lying nearby, Jiang Che slapped him, leaving Xiao Hei looking completely bewildered.

"I really should let Little Tiger teach you how to be a good lackey."

"Your sense of smell is sharper than a Spirit-Scent Dog; don't tell me you didn't sense someone approaching."

"You say you only have this much use, yet you don't even put it to work? Next time you smell a strange scent, give me a heads-up in advance."

"Otherwise, what's the point of taking you on as a lackey? You're not even worth the embarrassment!"

After being scolded by Jiang Che, Xiao Hei whimpered a few times, feeling somewhat aggrieved.

After all, he had always lived in the Canglan Mountain Range where there were no humans; how would he understand these things...

"It's the people from the Great Qi Imperial Family. Judging by their movements, if nothing goes wrong, they must be here to snatch the Lightning Bird from us..."

After hearing Jiang Che's warning, everyone understood.

They were all very familiar with this Great Qi Imperial Family.

After all, the founder of the Great Qi Imperial Family back then built their fortune by relying on the Lightning Bird.

It was through the formidable strength of that Lightning Emperor back then that such a vast dynasty was established.
