Chapter 1458 - 749: Jade Vulture
...
"Third-grade desolate beast, a black and white jade vulture!" Qing Shui took a breath. He finally found that massive bird.
Since then, Qinghai had explained to him about the various professions on the continent of the Nine Provinces, and Qing Shui had done some light research on the profession of a Beast Tamer and the various beasts residing in this world.
There are four levels of beasts. Wild < Brutal < Desolate < Demon. Each level can be divided into nine grades. Overall, the ranking system of beasts can range from 1st grade to 36th grade. The black jade vulture before him was at 21st grade, no wonder its aura was so terrifying.
Only desolate beasts that have formed a Demon Core are considered to have entered the realm of Demon Beasts. Even the weakest among Demon Beasts can have power comparable to cultivators of the Innate Realm. The longer a Demon Beast survives, the stronger it becomes, and the power gap between each level at the Demon Level can be compared to the difference between heaven and earth!
Qing Shui looked at the black jade condor hovering in the sky, its massive body was enormous, just the size of its legs could be comparable to the circumference of an adult man’s body.
He remembered reading in previous books that the black jade condor is prone to bear grudges. The damage Qing Shui caused earlier was but a minor issue. What mattered here was the damage that Qing Shui was proud of! Qing Shui saw from the cold and evil glint in the black jade vulture’s eyes that it would never let go of this bird unless one of them perished. Now they were just waiting for an opportunity to catch Qing Shui off guard.
Qing Shui firmly stared at the black and white jade vulture, transferring the stone from his left hand to his right. Perhaps it was the stone in Qing Shui’s hand that made it pause, forcing this giant vulture to act cautiously. Earlier in the exchange, the vulture might have felt an unnatural force imbued into the stone that had harmed it. Once bitten, twice shy. Knowing Qing Shui’s strength now, it did not want to charge blindly, risking injury or even death due to impulse!
Licking his cracked lips, a deep thirst emerged from within Qing Shui. He hadn’t drunk water for the past three days. During these three days, there was no trace of any other flying beasts! Now, Qing Shui understood why... it was probably because of this condor before him. The vulture must be the predator that scared everything away.
This cannot continue, he needed water to survive. If there were other beasts around, he could still drink their blood to sustain his life. A cold glint flashed in his eyes, "Fine, it seems that today, no matter what, I must find a way to ensure this giant Divine Eagle doesn’t escape."
Though it was gigantic, it seemed like a fish in water, up in the air. Its speed was intimidating! The aura it emanated was daunting, possessing immense power, its vulture claws could slice mountains and crush rocks. Also, its pair of black wings, a strike from them could turn you into a pile of dust. Do not underestimate the black jade vulture’s beak either, a peck could easily split a person into two.
What a majestic presence, what immense power. Sweat dripped down Qing Shui’s head as he pondered the best way to achieve victory over the vulture.
Qing Shui felt a bit tense, but he wasn’t afraid. Being unable to acquire victory today simply meant it was his fate to die here. "If I can’t even best this desolate grade flying beast, why am I alive? Are my promises to my mother just empty words?"
"F***, damn your mother, this damn bird is really annoying. If you want to fight, then come down here, I’ll gladly accompany you to the gates of Hell. If you don’t, then just F*** OFF! Why the F*** are you hanging in the air?!" Qing Shui cursed.
But Qing Shui’s curses seemed to have no effect.
After a while, Qing Shui realized this wasn’t a solution, he couldn’t just stand there like an idiot, allowing this feathered bastard to decide his life and death!
After some thought, Qing Shui decided to lie flat on the ground. The remnants of the shattered 100-pound rock were cleared clean by the fierce wind generated by the white and black jade condor earlier when it first invaded Qing Shui. However, the moment he lay down, he also secretly crushed a part of the stone cliff, hiding a small stone in his left hand.
Qing Shui closed his eyes, taking a risk. He didn’t believe that the refinement his current body underwent with just the third level of ancient enhancement techniques could withstand the sharp claws and beak of the white-headed ink jade vulture. Those weren’t ordinary claws or beak, even Qing Shui, he couldn’t endure a single strike.
Endurance, Qing Shui was not lacking in. The fact that he tirelessly spent all his time cultivating had proven his willpower exceeded the norm. If he wished for it, he could endure.
As time passed, flowing by, Qing Shui opened his eyes from a sneak glance at the corners. His body tensed, ready to seize any opportunity to strike a fatal blow!
"F***, is it even interested in fighting? F***’s mother, staying motionless, neither descending nor flying away."
Perhaps some God heard Qing Shui’s prayers, as his curses gradually started influencing the bird. The white-haired, black ink jade vulture slowly spiraled closer and closer.
"You sly feathered bastard, just wait until I catch you!" Qing Shui muttered hatefully.
