Zhou Xun appeared to be meditating and regulating his breath, but his divine sense spread out like fine threads, vigilantly watching every movement around him.
Suddenly, a faint fluctuation of Spirit Energy came from beneath the platform. Zhou Xun's heart tightened slightly. He cracked open his eyes and sent Little Gold and Little Armor a covert signal.
The two beasts understood at once. On the surface, they remained in a state of recovery, but secretly, they began gathering Demon Energy.
Immediately afterward, a massive crimson claw stretched out from the clouds and mist, followed by another. The two giant claws stood hundreds of zhang apart.
When its entire body emerged, Zhou Xun finally saw its complete appearance.
It was astonishingly an eerie giant bird, crimson from head to toe, its surface etched with streaks of black patterns. Its body measured more than five hundred zhang.
Its eyes were like crimson lanterns, gleaming with bloodlust. Every feather was like a sharp blade, flashing with a metallic sheen.
This great eagle was plainly extremely displeased that Zhou Xun and the others had entered its territory. It let out an earthshaking screech containing a powerful sonic attack, which swept toward the three on the platform.
Zhou Xun rapidly formed hand seals. With a shift in his Mystic Gestures, a blue-violet shield instantly condensed before him, blocking the sound waves outside.
At the sight of the demonic bird, a faint glow lit up on the Blackscaled Armadillo's body. Then, a layer of pale shifting light spread forth.
It enveloped the demonic bird.
In an instant,
The demonic bird's body sank downward. An invisible gravity pressed down upon it, slowing its movements by several degrees.
As for Little Gold, his light flashed as he transformed into an azure-golden dragon more than six hundred zhang long.
