Chapter 181: Celestial Snow Ridge Eagle!
Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu
"What happened? What's going on?!"
The crowd gasped with shock. Although the mountain had only trembled slightly a moment ago, everyone had still felt it clearly!
The incomparably huge Frosty Starlight Pillar had actually been forcibly pulled up by 1 cun! That mere 1 cun was already sufficient to cause a small gap to appear above the earth fire vein under the pillar!
As for Bei Feng, he only felt a gigantic force traveling up the fishing pole all of a sudden. Even though the force he had to bear was only one percent of the entire force, he'd nearly lost hold of the fishing rod!
‘Oh my god! Did I catch something just now?’
Bei Feng massaged his aching wrists. Even with his current strength, he almost couldn't hold onto the fishing rod. In that moment, he did not dare to hesitate anymore as he reeled in the line hurriedly.
The fishing hook rose rapidly through the sky with the jade strip in tow. At the same time, a huge wing fell from the sky, coincidentally getting stuck onto the hook. At the point of impact, the line sagged violently as the huge wing slammed into the hook. However, the momentum of the rising hook was quickly regained as the hook continued upwards with renewed vigor.
The examination hall was in a state of complete mess as huge droplets of blood suddenly rained down from the sky, falling onto the masses!
"Ah!"
"What is that?!"
A sizzling sound could be heard as the blood came into contact with the humans' skin. Those people who had been drenched in the blood were all rolling about madly on the ground in agony. The flesh on their bodies was also shriveling up with visible speed!
After some time, those people resembled shrunken mummies who had died a long time ago, with all the fluids drained out of them!
Those who had luckily escaped did not even have the time to thank their lucky stars before another strange event fell upon them!
"Quick, look! In the sky!"
A young disciple screamed with terror as he pointed upwards, as if he had seen something exceptionally frightening!
"What a huge bird!"
A person stated dumbly as he stared upwards. But as he turned around, he saw that everybody around him was already rushing madly outwards with all their might!
"Ka-boom!"
The gigantic eagle spiraled crazily out of the sky, crashing right into the ground!
The huge open hall was smashed apart, and massive pieces of rocks cascaded down the sides of the mountain. Numerous disciples whose reaction was not fast enough were directly crushed by the rocks. Without a doubt, these disciples were most likely in a terrible state.
Mo An's captors had already disappeared long ago, ditching him to save their own lives. Only Mo An was left standing at the same spot, with a conflicted expression on his face.
‘If I stay, even if I don't get killed, I'll still never be valued by the sect. If this place does not welcome me, there will naturally be a place that does!’
Mo An did not hesitate any further. Taking advantage of the chaos, he took off swiftly and slunk into the crowd without looking back.
"Ss, that's... a Celestial Snow Ridge Eagle!"
A 3 star alchemist exclaimed with a face full of shock. He rubbed his eyes as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing.
"Ying!"
The giant eagle let out a savage roar which pierced through the clouds, causing all the humans around it to feel as though their heads had taken a blow as they fell into daze.
Of course, all these was none of Bei Feng's business anymore. At this time, he was waiting in anticipation of the goodies he'd fished up from the well!
He was truly quite excited about the haul this time. The wing he'd caught was already so big. Who knows what grade of demonic beast something like that belonged to? It must be a really strong one!
Seeing the wing emerging from the well, Bei Feng broke into a bright smile. He felt like a squirrel who was hoarding food on the ground. Although he already had lots of food stored away, it was still an exciting matter to obtain more new meat.
With a light tug, the two items were pulled into the garden. Once out of the well, the snow white wing grew in size at an extreme rate!
When its true form was revealed, Bei Feng could not help but almost swallow his tongue in shock.
The wing was completely white, without any blemishes. Its feathers were soft, but as sturdy as metal!
That single wing was a full 40-50 meters long, taking up the entire width of the garden! Based on the size of the wing, one could easily imagine how enormous its owner must have been!
"Ding! Grade 4 treasure obtained, Pill Refining Manual! (Contains the complete pill refining legacy from pill apprentice to 3 star alchemist! Also contains nine sets of pill formulas!) Experience gained: 5,500! Advancement requirements met; advance?"
"Ding! Grade 7 treasure obtained, right wing of the Celestial Snow Ridge Eagle! (This is an incomparably mysterious, Superb Demonic Beast! Once it steps into adulthood, this creature will directly evolve into a Grade 8 Demonic Beast! Also known as the Darling of the Wind, it is a creature with incredible talent at manipulating wind. Consuming the meat and drinking the blood of this beast will allow one to possess a body as light as a sparrow, granting one the ability to fly over eaves and run up walls! Every part of its body is a rare treasure for weapon smiths!) Experience gained: 118,020!"
"Ding! Would the host like to assimilate the Celestial Snow Ridge Eagle's right wing? The Celestial Snow Ridge Eagle's right wing can be directly fused into the host's back. A cultivation of Xiantian realm and above will allow the host to wield the powers within the wing! Experience required: 100,000!"
A series of notifications appeared in Bei Feng's head, causing his face to light up with delight. He was especially excited about obtaining the pill refining manual. With that legacy, he could finally put the pill cauldron to good use.
As for the Celestial Snow Ridge Eagle's right wing, that was also something that caused him great amounts of shock. Right now, he had to decide if he should just barbecue the wing directly and eat it up.
‘No, it doesn't seem as good a deal to eat this wing.’ Although its meat was from a Grade 8 Demonic Beast and was definitely an extremely beneficial item for him, but for now, the Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King meat was more than enough for him. Furthermore, the negative effects of having one's cultivation rise too quickly was not light.
Bei Feng counted grumpily in his heart. 100,000 experience points was really a little too expensive! Not counting his haul today, he'd only managed to save up 100,000 experience points after such a long time!
Based on the amount of experience points required for leveling up the first time and now, Bei Feng did not have any doubts in his heart that the next advancement would require one million experience points!
After some internal struggle, he still decided to drop the thought of barbecuing the wing on the spot. "System, please help me to assimilate the Celestial Snow Ridge Eagle's right wing!"
"Ding! Assimilation in progress! Experience points required: 100,000! Points deducted!"
The System intoned emotionlessly.
Bei Feng looked at his experience bar. There was only 118,100 points now.
Pulling his perception out from his body, Bei Feng looked over at the giant wing in the yard. Layers of strange symbols and runes had appeared above the wings, and were rotating about it in a mysterious manner.
An indistinct singing voice could also be heard in the empty yard as the symbols turned into chains which wrapped around the giant wing!
At the same time, a dark-green colored wind materialized on Bei Feng's back. In a flash, it morphed into a sharp blade which sliced apart his back, exposing his shoulder blades!
Strangely, Bei Feng did not feel any pain at all. The snow white wing in the yard began to shrink steadily until it was finally only five-meters-long. The feathers remaining on it looked extremely sharp and hard as they gleamed coldly under the sun!
The snow white feathers floated about gently in the wind.
After that, the shrunken wing appeared on Bei Feng's exposed right shoulder blade. Countless microscopic root-like bones grew out from the base of the wing bone, merging into Bei Feng's shoulder blades until it looked like a single entity!
Apart from the squashed grass in the garden, the only thing which bore evidence to the presence of the gigantic wing from before was the huge patch of blood on the ground which was still emitting a sizzling heat!
Bei Feng felt like his body had become somewhat heavier, and his left-and-right balance felt a little disoriented.
With a thought, the huge wing on his back flapped lightly as a surge of blood and Qi flowed into it. Bei Feng did not even have to time to cry out before his body catapulted forward, smashing into a small decorative man-made mountain!
‘What a terrifying speed! That's at least half the speed of sound already?!’
Bei Feng's shock was written all over his face. He only felt his vision blur for a moment, and when he came to his senses again, he had already traveled twenty meters away!
But, comparably, the price for such a speed was not low. Bei Feng estimated that with his current blood and Qi, he could only sustain this speed for at most one or two minutes!
Even so, this was enough to cause a shiver to run through his heart. What was the top speed of this wing? Was it the speed of sound? Or even... supersonic speed?!
