Humans, the Phoenix Bird Is Under the Protection of My Blue Silver Clan

"Not good, it found us!"

Although Dean Shui and the others did not know why they had been exposed so quickly, it was undoubtedly connected to the Blue Silver Grass around them. Any Soul Beast species with a certain age could produce mutants, and mutants were highly likely to become kings of their species.

Since there was so much Blue Silver Grass in this forest, there could very well be a Blue Silver King here. That Blue Silver King was likely a Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast, and their tracks might have been exposed because of this Blue Silver Grass and the Blue Silver King.

Seeing the Soul Beast attack them, Li Xianyue immediately said,

"Big Brother, I'll protect Bing'er. You can attack without worry."

"Alright. Leave that Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast to you. I'll capture that weak blue bird. Remember, do not kill it unless absolutely necessary."

"Young Clan Leader, don't worry. I know what to do with this Ten Thousand Year avian Soul Beast."

It would be a pity to kill this Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast with phoenix bloodline. Moreover, there were currently no clan members who had reached the bottleneck at levels fifty or sixty. Thus, they either had to capture it alive or kill it and let it escape, then return to absorb its Soul Ring at a suitable time.

Old Li gathered strength in his legs and leaped. Two pairs of fiery red wings appeared behind his back. He unleashed his First Soul Skill, and Double Fire Wall rose from the ground, forcibly burning away the incoming phoenix feathers. The two Soul Kings behind him closely followed Old Li, ready to support him at any moment.

Although the Ten-Thousand-Year Phoenix Bird before them possessed phoenix bloodline and belonged to the highest tier of Soul Beasts, his Martial Soul was completely opposite to his clan's Ice Attribute Martial Soul. It was the mutated Beast Martial Soul, the Flaming Bird. Dealing with a Ten-Thousand-Year Phoenix Bird whose attribute countered his was practically effortless.

But just as he and the other two Soul Kings simultaneously unleashed their Fifth Soul Skills, preparing to severely injure the Phoenix Bird, it erupted with unprecedented power.

The water in the lake behind it surged into the air, forming several Water Spouts that blasted toward the old man. The Fifth Soul Skills of the two Soul Kings swiftly caused the temperature within an eight-hundred-meter radius to plummet, and the Water Spouts rapidly froze. The Phoenix Bird's wings were affected as well.

Especially the weak Soul Beast beneath its wings, which was already shivering from the freezing cold, while the old man rushed toward them.

At this moment, the Phoenix Bird had no way to evade. If it spread its wings and flew high, unleashing all its strength, then its child would surely die at the hands of these humans, even if its child could fly.

At that moment, dozens of Blue Silver Grass plants in the core region of the Blue Silver Forest emitted dazzling blue light, forming a Blue Energy Shield.

But what could that do? Old Li immediately unleashed his Sixth Soul Skill. Countless Meteor Fireballs appeared out of thin air and crashed toward the energy shield.

"Bang—"

Just as the Phoenix Bird intended to seize this opening and immediately change direction to flee with its children, the protective barrier completely shattered. Three fireballs directly struck its left wing.

"Young Clan Leader, now's the chance!"

Old Li shouted loudly and quickly had someone unleash their Second Soul Skill, continuously restraining the Phoenix Bird with him and buying time for Dean Shui.

"Xianyue, protect Bing'er. Everyone else, come with me."

Dean Shui gave another reminder, then immediately led the remaining clan members forward. But at that moment, countless Blue Silver Grass blades lengthened and instantly bound Dean Shui and the others' hands and feet. Just as they broke free,

A blue phantom with the face of an old man appeared, standing directly before the Phoenix Bird. Borrowing the power of faith from the countless Blue Silver Grass plants and the wind outside, it actually spoke in unclear human language.

"If you... you humans insist on this, I... I, as the master of this forest, will destroy you all."

Everyone present was shocked and frightened by this sight. Could there be a hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver King within this Blue Silver Forest? But if there truly were a hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver King, it would have killed them all before they entered the core region.

"This Blue Silver Grass fears fire. It's merely putting on a show."

After looking around, Old Li did not find a single Blue Silver Grass plant in the core region that exceeded the ten-thousand-year level. Moreover, the Phoenix Bird and its children were extremely important to the Shui Family.

Even if there was a hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Grass, it was ultimately only a plant and could not leave the soil for long. Their group, meanwhile, had two fire-attribute Soul Masters.

"If that is the case, then all of you humans shall die at the hands of my people!"

As the phantom vanished, the Blue Silver Grass throughout the Blue Silver Forest began continuously sending Soul Power to the Blue Silver Grass in the core region. Dozens of thick Blue Silver Grass stalks burst from the earth, forming a thick Blue Silver Wall around the Phoenix Bird's children.

Even more Blue Silver Grass surged toward Dean Shui and Shui Bing'er.

"Second Soul Skill, Blazing Wildfire."

A barrage of flames blasted directly toward the Blue Silver Grass charging at Shui Bing'er and the others. In an instant, the thick Blue Silver Grass vines were burned into nothingness.

Yet just as Old Li was distracted saving them, the Phoenix Bird lunged straight at him. He reacted quickly, flapping his wings and soaring vertically upward, barely avoiding the deadly pounce.

"First Soul Skill, Ice Seal!"

Just as the Phoenix Bird prepared to rise vertically and countless phoenix feathers shot into the sky, Dean Shui immediately unleashed his First Soul Skill. Every feather was frozen solid and fell directly toward the Phoenix Bird below.

At that moment, the Phoenix Bird's legs were frozen as well, and the resulting weight made it difficult for it to take flight.

However, the countless Blue Silver Grass blades bursting from the ground gave them no chance to catch their breath. They immediately shattered the ice beneath the Phoenix Bird's feet.

Dean Shui immediately shouted, "Everyone, stop the Blue Silver Grass from assisting the Phoenix Bird's attack with all your strength!"

He then unleashed his Fifth Soul Skill. Countless Ice Cones shot toward the Phoenix Bird, while Old Li seized the opportunity and immediately gathered strength to unleash his Fourth Soul Skill.

Two immensely powerful Soul Skills were released. Dean Shui's Ice Burst Technique in particular was an area-of-effect attack and even contained a second burst.

After forcibly intercepting dozens of Ice Cones, countless more still flew toward it. Seeing that the moment was ripe, Dean Shui snapped his fingers.

"Burst!"

The air bursts produced by the countless Ice Cones forcibly compressed the air, blasting the nearby Phoenix Bird away and sending it tumbling to the ground. An enormous ball of fiery energy then crashed down toward it.

Even though countless Blue Silver Grass blades stood in front of it, they were useless. The fireball successfully struck the Phoenix Bird's body. When the smoke and dust cleared, everything within three hundred meters of the core region had been completely burned away. Nearly all of the Phoenix Bird's feathers had been scorched into charcoal, leaving it in a miserable state.

It looked toward its children, a tear slipping from its eyes as an extremely dangerous Soul Power fluctuation began erupting from within its body.

"Not good! Quickly, freeze this Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast completely! Hurry!"

At Old Li's reminder, the several Soul Kings, whose Soul Power was nearly depleted, jointly unleashed their First or Second ice-sealing Soul Skills, completely freezing it before it could self-destruct.

Meanwhile, two li away, the Blue Silver King sensed that the Phoenix Bird was near death and imprisoned by humans, while his people were dying in great numbers. He became incomparably enraged.

"Those humans deserve to die."
