"Sixth-Rank Magical Beast? An Azure Winged Sky Serpent!"
One of Zhang Yuan's reasons for joining the military had been to gather intelligence through military merits. He could be considered well-read and knew of many strange tales and anecdotes, not to mention the basic information on Magical Beasts.
There were three supreme Magical Beast clans on the Dou Qi Continent: the Ancient Void Dragon, the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix, and the Ancient Heavenly Serpent. Of them, only the Ancient Void Dragon still possessed its inheritance, and its bloodline power had not weakened much. The other two Magical Beast clans had declined into lower-level existences due to the deterioration of their bloodlines, becoming the Heavenly Demon Phoenix and the Nine Nether Earth Python.
As the strongest snake-type Magical Beast recognized in ancient times, the Ancient Heavenly Serpent also had several minor branches. The most ferocious was the Nine-Headed Heavenly Serpent, while the Azure Winged Sky Serpent, like the Nine Nether Earth Python, was a descendant of the Ancient Heavenly Serpent. Its bloodline was thinner, but it still had the potential to become a Seventh-Rank Magical Beast.
For such a Sixth-Rank Magical Beast to appear within the Jia Ma Empire was truly unexpected.
But what truly surprised Zhang Yuan was that this Azure Winged Sky Serpent had been suppressed.
The thick green vines around its body, glowing with a faint azure light, carried some sort of sealing power.
"Roar!"
After struggling amid the ruins and discovering it could not break free, the Azure Winged Sky Serpent roared at the sky. "Qing Man, you bastard! Release me now, or I'll swallow you someday!"
Qing Man was evidently the one who had suppressed this Azure Winged Sky Serpent.
"Could a Dou Zong have made a move?" Zhang Yuan muttered as he looked up at the sky.
