Chapter 763: Da Bai and Xiao Bai

Brothers, let's do the dungeon!

Xiao Feng let out a shout in the fixed team's small group chat.

Li Li immediately replied: "Coming, coming, form the party, form the party! After we finish this wave, we'll hit level 300 straight away, then we can calmly train our will!"

Dun Dun also shouted impatiently: "Charge, charge, charge! It's been three days since I last saw Senior Xiao Feng, I really miss him!"

"Tsk tsk, you two have a problem! Did you secretly hook up when we weren't looking?" Zhang Fan said teasingly upon hearing that.

Xing Yun Miao also said: "Even if nothing has happened yet, trouble will eventually arise. I just hope we stay under the same roof and don't encounter any fatal incidents~"

Xiao Feng's face darkened: "Can you guys stop gossiping? Hurry up, let's go to Storm God Kingdom and call Ironhead Dragon and the others, let's first clear the 【Weeping Blood Wasteland】!"

Storm God Kingdom is nearby, he couldn't be bothered to teleport, so he let his teammates run over to meet him.

"Okay, okay, no gossiping, stay safe, I'll be there after I finish this loop quest." Li Li chuckled.

Everyone was doing their own solo quests, or training their will.

Xiao Feng issued a summoning order; everyone immediately dropped what they were doing, returned to the nearby city, and teleported to Storm God Capital.

Xiao Feng himself also set out, bringing Da Bai along.

Da Bai is now level 168, having entered the extremely lengthy 'Growth Stage' phase.

As a seventh‑grade spirit beast with the talent 'Extreme Cold', although its level still lags behind players above level 100 at this stage, thanks to its strong attribute growth rate it can already be of great help.

【Lofty Heavens Mysterious Crane (Unnamed) (Xiao Feng's mount)】

Species: Ancient Divine Crane·Lofty Heavens Mysterious Crane

Quality: 7th‑grade Mutation

Talents: Invulnerable to All Laws (activated at 250), Metamorphosis (activated at 501), Void Shuttling (activated at 501)

Level: 168 (Growth Period)

Loyalty: 100

HP: 32.2 million / 32.2 million

MP: 500,000 / 500,000

Physical Defense: 80,500

Magic Defense: 80,500

Normal Speed: 128,000

Skills: Divine Bird Strike (Transformation Realm), Immortal Thunder Technique (Transformation Realm), Immortal Crane Seizes Dragon (Transformation Realm), Heavenly Thunder Body Infusion Blessing, Chasing Light and Pursuing Lightning, Crane Shadow Soul-Splitting Strike

Stamina: 100/100

At level 168, Da Bai has five times the HP of a level‑290 Dun Dun; although its defense is much lower, as an output‑type, speed‑type mount, having such stats is already incredibly impressive!

The teammates' fourth‑grade mounts have all been raised to around level 100, with HP only four to five million—far behind.

Regarding MP, Da Bai's MP caps at 500,000 and cannot grow further. According to itself, it should only increase after reaching the Golden Core stage, i. e., the Demigod Realm, when it converts to Spiritual Power (Divine Origin Power).

Each time Da Bai breaks through a growth stage, a new skill appears; its original three basic skills have automatically evolved to Transformation Realm level, inheriting a small portion of its past‑life abilities.

At this moment, a level‑168 Da Bai's stat panel allows it to duel most Demigod‑level players without losing.

Its potential is enormous—easy to imagine!

The Shen Jie Return City Scroll shattered, and Xiao Feng and Da Bai's figures appeared at the Storm God Capital teleportation array.

In its Growth Stage, Da Bai stands over five meters tall, nearing six meters, with a wingspan exceeding thirteen meters—it's huge.

However, its appearance at the Storm God Capital teleportation array did not cause much of a stir.

Passersby glanced at the big bird, then said nonchalantly: "Tch, such a huge mount with only 900k HP—trash! I thought I'd seen Xiao Feng the God's Lofty Heavens Mysterious Crane."

The crane in question was very displeased.

But it had already agreed with Xiao Feng to keep a low profile in crowded places to avoid being blocked by onlookers, which would be annoying, so it didn't say much.

At this point, Xiao Feng's entire profile is fake; after being watched and chased in War Capital, he deeply realized how terrifying the influence of the name 'Xiao Feng' is!

So he set a rule for himself: whenever he goes out to a crowded place, he must alter his information!

Now he is a level‑280 mage named 'Ai Gai Zao Fan', with only 1.88 million HP—very ordinary.

Da Bai's information was also altered accordingly; its species was changed to 'White Crane', its HP dropped to 900,000—so ordinary it's laughable!

Under such low‑key circumstances, the only thing that could draw players' attention was his own looks.

Well… although being overly handsome still draws countless players' gazes wherever he goes, making many single female players scream, it's still better than before when he was chased into the palace.

Xiao Feng teleported on the spot to the lower‑level city 'Xi Qie Cheng' under Storm God Capital.

He then mounted the White Crane and soared into the sky, flying onward.

"Big Brother Xiao Feng, wait for me—I'm behind you!"

Just after leaving Xi Qie Cheng, he received a friend message.

It turned out to be a message from Mang Mei.

Xiao Feng quickly slowed down and looked back.

All he saw was the sky above the city,

a beautiful female archer player wearing light cyan armor, riding a pure moon‑white divine deer that glowed with holy radiance, flying toward him.

Mang Mei's Light Divine Deer, after over ten days of cultivation, has reached level 135 and become a spirit‑beast mount two sizes larger than an ordinary horse.

This young male deer now sports a pair of elaborately forked antlers, beautiful as flower branches; the antlers are more than twenty times the size of its head, extremely ornate, as if afraid no one would know it's male.

Its flight speed is roughly half that of Da Bai, yet among player mounts it is already top‑tier.

Soon, the divine deer arrived nearby.

Seeing the graceful divine deer, Da Bai eyed it enviously and said: "What a beautiful deer, Xiao Feng—get me one too!"

Thud!

Xiao Feng flicked it a chestnut: "You're already a mount—why do you need another mount?"

Da Bai explained: "No, I mean you get me a female one, I want to get to know it deeply!"

"Holy shit! You won't even spare a deer!" Xiao Feng was speechless.

Da Bai gave a hehe smile: "Anyway, I'm a monster; as long as I encounter someone good-looking, any race is fine."

"Then you're actually hermaphroditic, why insist on a female? I think a male would suit you better!" Xiao Feng retorted.

Then he stopped paying attention to that talkative crane, and said to Mang Mei: "Let's go, Old Li and the others should be on the way; let's wait for them at the instance entrance."

"Hmm."

Mang Mei responded with a sound, lightly patted the spirit deer's hind neck, and said to her mount: "Little White, don't be angry; Da Bai just talks a lot, means no harm."

Spirit beasts of rank 2 and above already possess human-like nature; those of rank 4 even have intelligence not inferior to humans, they just can't speak temporarily.

Da Bai was really annoying; she was also afraid that her mount "Little White" would be provoked, causing unnecessary trouble.

Xiao Feng couldn't help but find it a little funny hearing her shout the name "Little White".

Mang Mei's mount was obtained earlier than his; after the four of them first left Nine-Colour Island, they gave the then-small Holy Light Divine Deer the name "Little White".

Such a name is really common; there are at least tens of thousands of them in the player mount system.

Xiao Feng didn't know that back then, so he gave his mount the name "Da Bai".

After the teammates found out, they made a bunch of sarcastic remarks, even saying the two of them had issues!

Xiao Feng, thick-skinned, didn't care; Mang Mei, thin-skinned, after being teased by everyone, her face turned red like an apple, she was so embarrassed she went into mute mode, ignoring anyone who spoke, and only recovered after a whole day.

But after all these days, they've gotten used to it, no longer that awkward.
