Chapter 6: Fighting the Bloodthirsty Eagle
Editor: Henyee Translations
"Burp… this would be even more perfect if we had a hotpot."
The human and the beast laid on the ground and burped contentedly. Ye Chen said intoxicatedly.
In particular, the stomach of the Divine Phoenix was bulging from eating a lot while it flapped its wings. It was charmingly naive and did not look like a Divine Beast at all.
"The food and self-preservation matters have been taken care of. It's time to find a place for the totem and build a home."
Otherwise, when the three days of protection were over, he would still have to eat and sleep in the open. That would be dangerous. According to the system's notification, each person could only move their homeland ten times in their lifetime.
Before it was placed, this totem could only be used as storage.
Taking out the Tribal Totem, Ye Chen stared at it. The tribe's location was of utmost importance. Regardless of whether it was the environment, soil, or geographical location, the requirements were very high.
After all, this was his home, a place that would not migrate anytime soon. Ye Chen did not know much about the vast wilderness, so he could only rely on his golden finger.
After a while, golden words appeared.
[Tribe Totem: Place a drop of blood to form a tribe.]
[Hidden prompt message: Place it now. Then, it will be destroyed by the Ancient Mammoth stomp in two days.
[Hidden prompt message: 100 miles to the East is an excellent location]
Ye Chen heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the golden text. As expected, his golden finger was effective on this item as well.
Ye Chen had heard of the Ancient Mammoth before. It was also known as the Mammoth Elephant. It was one of the largest elephants in the world and also one of the largest animals on land.
This information was what Ye Chen had learned on Earth. He did not know what the Ancient Mammoths of the vast wilderness looked like but they were definitely much bigger than the Earth ones.
"Sun God Envoy, 100 miles to the East, let's go." Ye Chen made a hand gesture. Just as he was about to take a step forward, the Immortal Phoenix directly blocked in front of him. It lowered its head and prostrated on the ground, emitting a pleasant cry.
"Are you trying to bring me along?" Ye Chen was stunned. Didn't they say that Divine Beasts were very arrogant and would rather die than lower their heads?
Moreover, the Immortal Phoenix was a top-notch Divine Beast and had the Fire Attribute. It should have a stronger temper. Why was this fellow different?
"Chirp… Chirp… Chirp…" The Immortal Phoenix answered Ye Chen's question with its actions.
"Haha, let's go!" Ye Chen naturally would not reject it. It was probably the first time in the wilderness that a Divine Beast had become a mount.
Previously, Ye Chen was also concerned about the pride of the Divine Beast. The thought of using the Immortal Phoenix as a mount only flashed through his mind for a moment before he threw it in the back of his mind.
"Shriek!"
After carrying Ye Chen on its back, the Immortal Phoenix let out a loud and clear cry of joy that soared into the sky. To it, Ye Chen was its master and also its family. Naturally, there was no such thing as arrogance.
As a Divine Beast, the Undying Phoenix had bloodline suppression over beasts of lower rank. Hearing its loud cry, many of the lower ranked beasts prostrated on the ground and trembled.
There were those who submitted to the grace of the Divine Phoenix. Naturally, there were also those who were unconvinced. After all, the current Divine Phoenix was still in infancy. It was considered a great source of resources for those wild beasts that had reached the complete form. Perhaps, they could reach a higher level.
Screech!
Suddenly, an intense sound came from the mountain peak not far away. A dark red shadow of a wild bird flew out from it at an extremely fast speed and headed towards Ye Chen.
The Divine Phoenix slowed down when it heard the sound. It flew lower and lower until the ground. Then, Ye Chen got down and the Divine Phoenix let out a majestic cry and soared into the sky.
At this moment, Ye Chen was also watching the dark red flying bird that flew over.
[Blood Hawk]
[Race: Vicious Beast]
[Rank: A]
[Status: Old age]
[Skill: Blood Flames, Fierce Bird Claws]
[Attack: 2100]
[Defense: 1,800]
[Weakness: A ferocious old bird with insufficient HP. Can use Fire Immunity to fight a long battle.]
"A-Rank Blood Hawk? Old age?" When he first saw the Blood Hawk, Ye Chen was really shocked. An adult, A-Rank bird was definitely not something the current Immortal Phoenix could fight against.
The growth stage of Vicious Beasts was divided into: Infant, young, mature, old age, and decline.
Once the vicious beast entered the old age, its strength would continuously decrease. Ye Chen now understood why it came out.
It was nothing more than it reaching the end of its life. But if it swallowed a Divine Beast, it might be able to make the final leap in its cultivation and increase its lifespan.
Death and decay, whether man or beast, there was nothing that did not fear these.
As a Divine Beast, the Immortal Phoenix and Ye Chen were connected through their minds. The Immortal Phoenix naturally knew the Blood Hawk's weakness.
As a Divine Beast, it naturally had its own pride. With a long cry, it spat out crimson flames at the invading Blood Hawk. This was its innate Divine Ability, Undying Divine Fire!
Seeing this, a mocking light flashed in the Blood Hawk's eyes. In its eyes, the Immortal Phoenix was still too young.
Taking advantage of the Divine Phoenix's momentum, the Blood Hawk closed in on it. At the same time, dark flames appeared in its mouth and it instantly struck the Divine Phoenix.
At the same time, it flew towards the Divine Phoenix, wanting to use its sharp claws to finish it off.
Swoosh!
Just as it was about to fly over to Ye Chen's head at a lower altitude, the short sword in his hand flew out directly and hit the fatal spot on the Blood Hawk's abdomen, piercing it instantly.
"Scryaaa…"
The Blood Hawk let out a miserable cry. Before it could react, it felt a line of fire shoot out from the location of the Immortal Phoenix.
In an instant, its entire body was ignited. After struggling for a while, it fell not far from Ye Chen.
The Divine Phoenix also flapped its wings and jumped around on his shoulder, as if it was asking for praise. "Look at how strong I am."
Ye Chen stroked the Divine Phoenix's feathers and smiled as he looked at the burnt body of the Blood Hawk. Playing with fire in front of the Divine Phoenix was like playing with its own life.
It had never used its Fire Immunity talent as a trump card. Otherwise, Ye Chen would not have let the Divine Phoenix squander its Spiritual Power.
"Oh? There's a treasure chest!"
Seeing the Blood Hawk's body emitting a faint glow, Ye Chen was naturally familiar with this scene and knew what was about to happen. This was the scene of a treasure chest drop.
"I wonder what the A-Rank vicious beast will drop."
Ye Chen could not suppress the joy in his heart. He quickly walked to the side of the Blood Hawk's body and stared at the ball of light.
[Safe Bronze Treasure Chest: Water, seeds, two blueprints.]
Compared to the Wooden Treasure Chest from before, this Bronze Treasure Chest was obviously of a higher grade. There was even an additional blueprint.
The Bone Blade was an important part of the battle just now. Ye Chen could not help but look forward to the blueprints.
After Ye Chen opened the treasure chest, four items appeared before him…
