Chapter 150: The Phoenix Myth of the Grass Cutter Flame Chicken

Translator: 549690339

The Secret Grasslands.

Gu Shan peeked out from behind a large tree, cautiously observing a gargantuan creature sleeping on another tree not far away.

[Name]: Grass Cutter Flame Chicken

[Nature]: Fire attribute

[Bloodline Level]: High-grade Lord

[Growth Level]: Four Stage Nine Level

[Description]: Mythically said to possess phoenix blood, can freely control fiery flames, but dislikes hot places, prefers living in lush greenery.

A Four Stage Nine Level High-grade Lord, definitely not something he could deal with, regardless of how powerful his Elemental Resonance might be, it couldn’t make up for such a huge disparity.

However, he had no plans of taking it on himself.

Around Gu Shan, behind trees, a few silhouettes could vaguely be seen, all of them targeting the Grass Cutter Flame Chicken.

Coo?

Perhaps sensing the gaze of humans, the grass cutter flame chicken, which was sound asleep, suddenly stood up to assess its surroundings, revealing clearly the number displayed on its foot to everyone.

Number 1.

After two days time, most of the students finally got over it, realising that the number in this contest was only one.

Meaning, only one person would be able to pass this exam.

Because of this, understanding the truth, all the Beast Masters formed pacts with each other to maintain distance, in hopes of being the first to find the ferocious beast associated with Number 1.

Yet, upon seeing the grass cutter flame chicken in front of them, whose size and strength were far beyond their imagination, almost everyone chose to wait. Helpless, they simply couldn’t win against it!

“Qiao Li, are we just going to sit here and wait?”

Ran Xu, who was already rather impatient with waiting, watched the Grass Cutter Flame Chicken that had once again fallen into a deep sleep and couldn’t help but itch impatiently to take action. Qiao Li at his side, rolled his eyes in response, “You go if you want, anyways I admit that I can’t do it.”

“But what if someone takes the first shot? If we fail this and incur the wrath of Instructor Leng, the points deduction can be quite serious.”

The training camp worked on a points system. During the training period, the instructors and the Six Tower Masters would score the students’ actions.

And it was not just about adding points.

In Luo’s words, our special training never deducts points, at most it adds negative points.

However, up to now, most instructors gave them positive points, the only exception being Zhang Shan.

Making too many unnecessary movements during real combat was a reason for point deduction.

Choosing the wrong tactic, point deduction.

Not immediately confirming the safety of the surroundings in the secret realm, point deduction.

Many students at one point speculated that Zhang Shan was dispatched by the association to suppress their points, preventing them from exchanging points for mythical materials.

This idea only reached the stage of speculation and was abruptly ended before any further developments could take place.

The reason was quite simple.

Cowardliness…

“There are more than sixty people fighting for one number plate. Even if points get deducted, there are plenty of people who’ll be in the same boat. What’s there to worry about?”

Qiao Li said, “If my guess is correct, Instructor Zhang Shan probably wants us to cooperate and jointly bring down this grass cutter flame chicken, and then score us based on our performance in the fight.”

“Cooperate? Doesn’t Instructor Zhang hate cooperation the most? I heard that last time he even argued with Instructor Leng over this issue.”

Ran Xu raised a question, and Qiao Li simply shrugged nonchalantly, “That’s why I said it’s a guess. What else do you plan to do? Have a one-on-one fight with the flame chicken and then deal with the others?”

“Uh, nevermind.”

Ran Xu was left speechless. Leaving aside the issue of taking on the flame chicken alone, if it came to dealing with those freaks, he would rather accept the point deduction.

Just then, there was movement in the surroundings. A female knight riding on a pegasus emerged from the tops of the trees, charging straight towards the Grass Cutter Flame Chicken.

Who else could it be if not Zhou Yan?

“Roast chicken, obediently become this fortress master’s side dish!”

Clearly, Zhou Yan was still immersed in role-playing, showing no sign of awareness that she was launching a surprise attack, and began yelling before she even got close.

Coo, coo!

Awakened by Zhou Yan’s yell, the Grass Cutter Flame Chicken that was about to drift off to sleep was suddenly startled awake, letting out a furious call. With a violent flap of its wings, a terrifying wave of intense heat instantly swept across several hundred meters around it.

Although Zhou Yan was fully prepared, the red flame of the Grass Cutter Flame Chicken countered the cold flame of the undead, forcing her to withdraw.

“What did this big sister do to reach Stage Four and still be such a loose cannon?”

Looking at her own hair, which was slightly curled due to the high temperature, Bai Yuxiao couldn’t help but comment. Then, she immediately entered the state of dematerialization.

Your head can be broken, your blood can flow, but your hair cannot be without oil.

The hairstyle that was just done yesterday couldn’t be ruined.

As for whether using such a talent might be somewhat wasteful?

Heh –

A talent that can’t protect the hairstyle, what’s the use of him!

Looking at the two utterly contrasting fools, Bai Qiucha couldn’t resist sighing in exasperation. “Never mind, let’s go too, this big guy isn’t that easy to deal with.”

“Right, dragging this out forever isn’t an option either.”

Xiao Yuan nodded in agreement. Seeing the Grass Cutter Flame Chicken, entirely enveloped in fiery flames, he said wryly, “Li Mu, you’d better handle this one. This fellow is too much for me, it’s completely restraining my ability. I’ll provide support.”

“Alright.”

Li Mu nodded, the rune array flashed in front of him, and a Ground Dragon completely enveloped in steel armor appeared instantly, charging towards the Grass Cutter Flame Chicken without hesitation.

[Name]: Sand Land Dragon

[Nature]: Ground System

[Bloodline Level]: Mid-Level Lord

[Growth Level]: Four Stage One Level

[Introduction]: The Ground Dragon species can draw upon the power of the earth to fight, strong in both attack and defense. However, due to its destructive environmental impact, causing desertification, it has been hunted by humans and its numbers have declined drastically.

As soon as Sand Land Dragon entered the field, everyone felt the ground shake beneath them. The Grass Cutter Flame Chicken immediately changed targets, spewing a scorching flame at the Sand Land Dragon that instantly charred trees and earth everywhere it passed.

“Sand Land Dragon, use Sandstorm!”

Seeing this, Li Mu didn’t panic at all. He calmly gave an order, and the Sand Land Dragon immediately raised its forelimb and smashed heavily into the ground. The previously thriving land instantaneously turned into shifting sand, which then swept towards the blistering flame like a wave.

However, Li Mu had clearly underestimated the heat at the base of the flame. The sandstorm only blocked it for a moment before the flame melted a hole through it. The Grass Cutter Flame Chicken then broke through the wall of sand and charged towards the Sand Land Dragon.

“Damn it, don’tyou dare ignore me!”

Seeing himself disregarded by the Grass Cutter Flame Chicken, Zhou Yan’s forehead veins were bulging. His Soul of the General expanded instantly, wrapping up the remaining Pegasus.

“Prepare to meet your maker!”

Zhou Yan, enveloped in a cold flame, channeled all his strength into his spear, targeting the back of the Grass Cutter Flame Chicken’s head. Seizing the moment when Grass Cutter Flame Chicken was distracted, Sand Land Dragon charged straight at it.

Cluck cluck!

Just as their attacks were about to hit the Grass Cutter Flame Chicken, the chicken flapped its wings and vaulted from the ground, forcefully evading the two attacks. It shot its sharp claws straight at Zhou Yan and the Sand Land Dragon.

Whoosh!

Clang!

Just then, a white figure flashed past, pulling Zhou Yan away from the Grass Cutter Flame Chicken’s claws. A protective shield also appeared above the head of the Sand Land Dragon, but it only served as a momentary deterrent before the chicken’s claws shattered it, leaving three deep wounds on the dragon’s body.

“Besides its ability to control red flames, the claws of the Grass Cutter Flame Chicken are as sharp as the most advanced cutting machine in the Mechanical Engineering Department. You two are literally asking for death, aren’t you?”

Lu Qing adjusted her glasses. A Mechanical System Elf made entirely of crystals sat quietly on her shoulder with its hands extended.

Unsurprisingly, the protective shield had been produced by it.

[Name]: Mechanical Girl – Crystal

[Nature]: Crystal Clan, Mechanical System

[Bloodline Level]: Low-level Lord

[Growth Level]: Third Stage Eighth level

[ Introduction]: This is a special creature from the Era of the Law Emperor, made from crystalline mechanical workings. It was unearthed from a secret territory by the Beast Master Association ten years ago.

“Thank you.”

Having been assisted by the girl he liked, Li Mu was obviously a bit embarrassed, but still expressed his gratitude. Xiao Yuan, standing next to him, patted Li Mu’ s shoulder to show his understanding and summoned a plant attribute pet to start treating the injuries of the Sand Land Dragon.

Even though they hadn’ t been able to completely block the attack, they had managed to deflect the Grass Cutter Flame Chicken’s claw strike. Otherwise, the Sand Land Dragon would’ve suffered much more damage than it already had.

Lu Qing simply nodded when she heard him. Gazing at the now enraged Grass Cutter Flame Chicken, she said, “The Grass Cutter Flame Chicken’s ranged and melee attacks are both strong, but its defense is weak. Try to stick with ranged attacks and wear it out as soon as possible.”

“Bai Qiucha, we might have to rely on you.”

“No problem.”

Bai Qiucha nodded, put Zhou Yan down, deactivated the Skeleton Armor and the Bone Dragon immediately returned to its massive form, blowing a breath of dragon fire at the Grass Cutter Flame Chicken.

The Grass Cutter Flame Chicken apparently realized the Bone Dragon’s power and countered with its own flames, causing a stalemate to ensue.

“They both use the same cold flame, but Brother Cha’s Bone Dragon is definitely stronger.”

Seeing the Bone Dragon effortlessly holding off the Grass Cutter Flame Chicken, Zhou Yan couldn’t help but admire.

“Brother Cha’s Skeleton Dragon is an Emperor-level bloodline creature after all. Even though Brother Cha’s Spirit Master talent suppresses it to the Lord Level, its true nature remains the same.”

Still maintaining his state of dematerialization, Bai Yuxiao climbed onto the Ghost Dragon and said, “Since cold flames work, let me try to help a bit too!”

His Ghost Dragon had been found in the same secret territory as Bai Qiucha’s Bone Dragon. Except Bai Qiucha’s Dragon retained its original strength, whereas the Ghost Dragon was only at the Lord Level.

However, he was content.

After all, not everyone could make a pact with an Emperor-level bloodline creature and survive the ordeal.

“Right, let’s all go together.”

Zhou Yan and Li Mu, having regrouped and adjusted their strategy, prepared to attack again, while Lu Qing and Xiao Yuan took every chance to assist them.

Facing this multi-pronged attack, the Grass Cutter Flame Chicken gradually lost its previous dominance, and when Gu Shan and other third-stage Beast Masters also joined, things became increasingly difficult for the Grass Cutter Flame Chicken.

Cluck cluck!

As an entity on the verge of advancing to the fifth stage, how could the Grass Cutter Flame Chicken bear this humiliation? It let out a growl, its body suddenly erupted in three-foot-high flames, followed by a dazzling glow of evolution.

“This is… a second-stage evolution?! Is the legend true that the Grass Cutter Flame Chicken can evolve into a phoenix?”
