C102 (2/2)

Cang Yun glanced at the fire lotus with extreme dissatisfaction before he prepared to leave. The Spiritual Beasts within this mountain were too high leveled and were not suitable for him to hunt. Therefore, he did not plan on wasting time here.

”Roar!”

However, just as he was about to leave, an ear-piercing screech suddenly exploded in the sky. Cang Yun's eardrums trembled as he hurriedly hid behind the ancient tree.

”That's …”

The next moment, Cang Yun looked up. Through the gaps between the leaves of the ancient trees, he saw a gigantic bird circling above the lava lake.

At this moment, its ruby-like, sharp eyes were looking down at the surface of the magma lake from a high vantage point. When it saw the green fire lotus within the magma lake, its fiery red eyes suddenly shone brightly, revealing a strong greed.

”It's actually a Fire Bird!”

Cang Yun's heart shook. This was an amazing spirit beast. It was rumored that the Fire Bird possessed a trace of the Ancient Phoenix bloodline and was the king of all strange beasts. It had the ability to control fire and its might was far beyond what ordinary spirit beasts could compare to.

”This space is indeed ancient, there are even Fire Birds that have disappeared from this continent for thousands of years!” Cang Yun sighed in his heart. At the same time, he also realized that there was a problem.

Judging from the aura of the Fire Bird in front of him, it should only be in its infancy. Otherwise, with its powerful bloodline, it would not need to covet the Fire Lotus, which was only a Grade 4 Elixir. Moreover, it seemed to be hesitating, afraid of the fire serpents in the magma lake.

In addition, the Fire Bird was not an ordinary bird, so its suppressing power would be greater. However, it was afraid of the Fire Serpent in the lava lake, which meant that the Fire Bird's strength was not too strong, perhaps even superior to the Fire Serpent.

”However, it has the advantage of being in the Upper Sky Realm. It is not impossible for it to fight.” Cang Yun quickly thought about it and decided not to leave for the time being. He wanted to see if the Fire Bird would fight with the Fire Snake.

If they really were to fight, there would definitely be an injury, and Cang Yun might even be able to take advantage of it. Cang Yun naturally yearned for the fire lotus very much. Therefore, he was not willing to let go of this one and only opportunity.

”Bang!”

At this time, the fire snake in the magma lake sensed the danger and finally reached out its body. Its barrel-thick waist gently twisted in the magma, its mouth facing the sky, its tongue flicking as if it was issuing a warning to the fire bird in the sky.

The Fire Bird above its head was not very strong, and was much weaker than it. However, the threat of the food chain, coupled with the suppression from its bloodline, made it extremely cautious. Therefore, it did not immediately attack, but wanted to persuade its opponent to retreat.

As long as he did not take the initiative to attack, the fire snake would not be able to deal with him. Therefore, he completely ignored the warning of the fire snake and continued to circle in the sky, pondering about the possible advantages and disadvantages.

The Fire Bird could also feel the power of the fire serpent in front of its eyes. Normally, it would not provoke them, but the temptation of the fire lotus was too strong, and the power of its bloodline was not strong either. If it could devour this fire lotus, then it would grow by a large amount, and there was even a chance that its bloodline would be refined.

No spirit beast could easily refuse such a temptation, so it was very hesitant.

But in the end, it was Greed who gained the upper hand …

”Roar!”

The Fire Bird raised its head to the sky and gave a long whistle. This long cry officially sounded the horn of war …
