Chapter 390: The Luan Bird

The other people who observed the battlefield were also frowning. This small group that was the first to enter was not battling for the sake of defeating the Mingshe. Instead, they were casually defending themselves.

The only reason they were capable of defending themselves in this situation was that the many elites of around the word were going all out in their attempts at dragging down the four-winged snake. However, so far, the wounds that had accumulated on the snake's body was still not enough to genuinely cause it any problems.

So why were they so casual?

The battle was turning more and more desperate, blood was flowing like rivers from the wounds on the mingshe and the people who had let down their lives to try and injure it.

The Vermilion Birds were dying one after another, as they were flying in the air, trying to beat the mingshe, experts on the ground were defeated equally fast, and the battlefield was littered with scattered limbs and broken corpses.

Even so, Xue Wei stayed in the background with his group, looking around with a frown.

"It should be about time," he muttered, and suddenly, an ear-piercing cry resounded as the wind blew even more intensely than before.

The experts and the mingshe all stopped in their tracks, looking into the sky where a giant Luan Bird was descending from the skies.

This Luan Bird was around the same strength as the Mingshe, it was not much stronger, but it was the eternal enemy of the snake, they had been locked in battle for millennia already.

Now that the humans had caused injuries to the mingshe, and it had also expended a fair bit of its energy, causing it to be a much simpler target for the luan bird.

The many experts who had survived so far scattered in an instant, retreated as fast as they could, as they observed the battle between the Luan and the Mingshe.

They also couldn't help but look at Xue Wei with some shock and considerations.

Their group was the first to enter the Blue Phoenix Manor. They had gotten the best results, and now they even knew to retreat in time.

Could it be that they had some sort of information about this realm that no one else had? It would be a beneficial thing to either cooperate with them or capture them and force them to work together.

Xue Wei was naturally aware of this, but he had no interest in sharing his deductions with anyone else. According to his thoughts, there should be another inheritance location within the realm, but it was likely left in the winter zone.

The mingshe inheritance was left, and a Mingshe was here. This was a Blue Phoenix Manor, so he had assumed there to be some sort of bird here, and birds were natural enemies of snakes.

But when he saw the Luan bird, and it was a blue luan bird which controlled the element of ice, his thoughts changed.

Initially, he had thought that the Blue Phoenix Manor was the second inheritance. Still, now he assumed that the second inheritance was within the winter region and that the owner of the two inheritances had left the two beasts in the Blue Phoenix Manor.

His thoughts were that these beasts were likely left to be tamed by the one who gained the inheritance, but upon seeing the mingshe, Xue Wei realized that they had grown far too much from being within the Ascended's Realm.

It was simply impossible to tame these beasts. Hence it was better for them to kill each other.

What he was going to do was try and gain the fisherman's benefit, being as the one standing behind waiting to benefit from the two massive beasts fighting against each other.

"Let's go," Xue Wei said after thinking like this. The bird had suffered immense injuries, but the snake was even more injured, as the two had charged at the mountains behind the Blue Phoenix Manor.

This was why he had carefully kept his strength. He was going to see if he could kill both bird and snake, taking all the benefits from both beasts, but to do that, he would need his full strength.

He also had to be shrewd and careful. It was not easy to trick these beasts into fighting against one another, and he had initially hoped for a Blue Phoenix, but a Luan Bird was also a beneficial thing.

Blue Phoenixes were the rarest kind of phoenixes, as they were a mutated species. Luan Birds were somewhat similar to phoenixes, but they were not the same. A blue luan bird was reasonably common, and although they were rare, they were not comparable to a blue phoenix.

At the same time, Xue Wei also realized that he had to be realistic. If he genuinely went to fight against a Blue Phoenix, he would likely not make it alive, even if it was severely injured.

A blue phoenix was a phoenix after all, and it contained the power of rebirth.

The many people on the battlefield were all too busy looking after themselves, their brothers, sisters, and companions to keep an eye on Xue Wei and his group who rushed to the same direction that the two massive beasts had vanished into.

Only a handful noticed it, and none of them were in the mood to follow. They had already lost a significant part of their fighting force, and everyone who was still alive had various degrees of injuries.

Even if they knew that Xue Wei had followed the beasts, what could they possibly do about it? Their fighting force was still dropping drastically from their wounds.
