The strange bird, covered in steel wings, floated quietly in the pool.
What's most eye-catching is the bird's beak.
Ordinary bird-type Soul Beast have short and sharp beaks, but some Soul Beast have longer beaks due to their own characteristics.
However, the beak of this Soul Beast was very abnormally shaped.
The bird's beak was almost as long as its body, so it could only bend its neck backward.
It rested on its body with its beak, which was the same length as its body.
Its head is high and protruding, with an eye on each side.
As Huo Yuhao looked at the Soul Beast, memories were stirred in his mind.
He felt that this Soul Beast was very similar to a type of bird he had seen on Earth, namely a pelican!
At the same time, Xiao Xiao felt her left arm bone begin to feel slightly hot.
She felt her own Soul Bone and this Soul Beast calling to each other.
Immediately afterwards, in the image in my mind, the strange, large bird suddenly raised its head.
A neck held aloft its nearly two-meter-long beak, its eyes fierce and wary as it surveyed its surroundings.
It seemed as if it had sensed something.
Observing the Soul Beast's actions, Wang Dong'er asked in confusion, "What kind of Soul Beast is this? It looks very strange, and its cultivation level seems quite high."
Wu Feng nodded in agreement; she had also noticed that the Soul Beast had directly taken over the entire pond.
Even the weaker Soul Beast around dared not approach the pond, clearly intimidated by this Soul Beast.
Ning Tian looked at the Soul Beast, rested his right index finger on his chin, and pondered for a moment before saying, "This... this seems to be Radiant Devouring Pelican..."
Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong'er's eyes widened in disbelief. " Radiant Devouring Pelican?!"
Ning Tian nodded and calmly said, "That's right, it's the Radiant Devouring Pelican. The book ' Xuan Zi ' gave me mentioned that its feathers are like iron, its beak is like a body, its mouth is like a hanging bell, and it can devour the sky and the earth!"
Ning Tian said firmly, "This Soul Beast perfectly matches the description in the book, so I'm sure I haven't made a mistake."
Xiao Xiao touched her burning right arm and agreed, "I felt it too. This Soul Beast should be the Radiant Devouring Pelican. I feel my Soul Bone constantly resonating with it."
Huo Yuhao crouched behind the tree and slowly said, "This Soul Beast has just reached ten thousand years of age, and its attributes are a perfect match for Xiao Xiao. Everyone, get ready, and with our cooperation, taking it down shouldn't be a problem."
Wang Dong'er wholeheartedly agreed with Huo Yuhao's words, "I think it's possible. I feel that with our current physical strength, we can definitely absorb Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring."
Wu Feng looked at Huo Yuhao and Xiao Xiao with some worry in his eyes. His mouth opened slightly as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.
Ning Tian objected righteously, "No! Even setting aside the fact that this Radiant Devouring Pelican is already ten thousand years old, and whether Xiao Xiao can absorb it, according to the ancient text, the Radiant Devouring Pelican's unique Soul Skill, Devour Heaven and Earth, will multiply its power."
"It is said that a 100,000-year-old Sky-Swallowing Heron can devour heaven, earth, mountains, and seas, and is unstoppable. Its mouth can transform into a black hole, capable of swallowing everything in its path."
"Although it is only ten thousand years old, it should not be underestimated. Its attack range is probably within 150 meters of its front. It can even devour our Soul Power from a distance!"
As he spoke, Ning Tian suddenly said with relief, "Fortunately, the longest Soul Beast can reach is ten thousand years. It has many natural enemies, so it's almost impossible for it to cultivate to one hundred thousand years."
After listening to Ning Tian's words, everyone turned their attention to Xiao Xiao.
After all, this Soul Beast is indeed suitable for Xiao Xiao, so whether or not to Soul Beast it is ultimately up to Xiao Xiao to decide.
For safety's sake, Wu Feng advised Xiao Xiao, " Xiao Xiao, although this Soul Beast is indeed compatible with your Three-Life Soul-Suppressing Cauldron, you've only reached the Soul Elder realm, so absorbing it is still a bit of a stretch."
Wu Feng spoke without any ulterior motives; she genuinely hoped Xiao Xiao could become stronger, but the risk was simply too great.
Wang Dong'er said with some regret, "What a pity. The director said that this kind of Soul Beast is very rare. If we miss it today, we may not have another chance."
Xiao Xiao stared at the scene in her mind. Because of her own Soul Bone, the ten-thousand-year-old Radiant Devouring Pelican was already vigilantly patrolling the pond.
She glanced at her companions beside her; she didn't want them to be in danger because of this Soul Beast.
Finally, she turned her gaze to Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao looked at Xiao Xiao with unwavering eyes, and then at everyone else, and said, " Xiao Xiao, your Soul Power bottleneck has been building up for a long time. Moreover, with your Twin Martial Souls and Xuan Zi's training, your physique is already at least at the Soul Ancestor level."
"If you want to try, with my invisible mental attack, the combined force will be enough to kill it."
"However, I respect your choice."
Huo Yuhao didn't want to force Xiao Xiao, but he still wanted them to absorb the Soul Ring as soon as possible so he could head to the core area.
Therefore, he did talk much more today.
Looking into Huo Yuhao's sincere eyes, Xiao Xiao tried to calm herself down and consider whether she should take the risk.
Ning Tian pondered Huo Yuhao's words carefully, then suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "I remember now! Yuhao reminded me, the Radiant Devouring Pelican is most afraid of mental attacks."
"Compared to other Soul Beast, its Spiritual Power is extremely fragile, so we might still have a chance."
At this moment, Wang Dong'er also spoke up, "Then let's choose it. If we can't win, we can just accompany Xiao Xiao to train for a while longer, right?"
Wu Feng nodded and said, "I think so too. With Xuan Zi backing us up, why should we be afraid? Some opportunities, once missed, are truly gone. Let's make our move."
Looking at the people around her, feeling the trusting gazes of Wang Dong'er and the others, Xiao Xiao said gratefully, "Thank you everyone!"
She then quickly composed herself and began a final tactical discussion with everyone.
Looking at the confident group, Huo Yuhao slowly activated his Simulation skill, completely concealing the Soul Power fluctuations of the women.
In the distance, the Radiant Devouring Pelican sensed that the presence of its kind had suddenly vanished.
Tilting its head, it looked ahead with puzzled eyes, as if its walnut-sized brain simply couldn't comprehend it.
Finally, it circled the edge of the pond one last time before relaxing and swimming back to the center, where it retracted its neck to rest.
At the same time, the women saw Radiant Devouring Pelican in their minds, and were overjoyed, their chances of success increasing even more.
Although they didn't know why it wasn't on alert, Xiao Xiao and the others immediately took action.
The five people stood about half a meter apart, crouching to conceal themselves, and began to approach the Radiant Devouring Pelican.
As for the weaker Soul Beast in the vicinity, they had long been scared away by Huo Yuhao's Simulation Soul Skill.
Soon, the five of them arrived at the bushes by the pond.
Huo Yuhao stood at the front, glanced at Radiant Devouring Pelican was still resting, and nodded to the women behind him.
Xiao Xiao and the others then dispersed and went to the pre-arranged positions, ready for battle.
The hunt is about to begin!
