Gangzi's Scorn: How Could Shi Yan Be a Match for Such a Dragon-Blooded Ferocious Bird?

Douluo Continent.

Heaven Dou Imperial City, inside the imperial palace.

On the heavenly screen, the Green-Scaled Eagle's massive body, over seven or eight meters long with a wingspan exceeding fifteen meters, charged through the forest.

Dozens of towering ancient trees were sliced clean through at their trunks, and even boulders weighing over a thousand jin were shattered or sent flying.

The sight left Yu Xiaogang trembling with fear.

The Ferocious Beasts of the heavenly screen's world really were powerful!

If what Qian Renxue said was true,

then even with Soul Power and physical strength at the Soul Saint level, she couldn't lift a large boulder weighing a few hundred jin.

That meant things of the same size in the heavenly screen's world were probably heavier than those in our world!

And this dragon-blooded Ferocious Bird called the Green-Scaled Eagle was comparable in size alone to a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast here.

At the very least, it was no smaller than that Hundred-Thousand-Year Titan Giant Ape.

Most importantly, this Ferocious Bird could actually fly!

If a Ferocious Bird like this came to our Douluo Continent, I'm afraid no one could deal with it!

Unless a legendary god intervened!

Then Yu Xiaogang saw Shi Dazhuang, Skinny Monkey, and the others, pursued by the Green-Scaled Eagle on the heavenly screen, actually intend to send Little One Shi Hao back to Stone Village to fetch Shi Yan as reinforcements.

Yu Xiaogang couldn't help clasping his hands behind his back and shaking his head, a trace of disdain and scorn in his eyes.

"These children are truly foolish!"

"Not only did they overestimate themselves and steal this Green-Scaled Eagle's eggs, bringing its pursuit down on their heads,"

"but now they also think Shi Yan can save them."

"This Green-Scaled Eagle is a Ferocious Beast seven or eight meters long, with a wingspan of more than ten meters, and it can fly."

"I'm afraid it's even stronger than the Dragon-Horned Elephant, Kui Beast, Two-Headed Fire Rhino, and other Ferocious Beasts Shi Linhu and the others hunted before!"

"And Shi Linhu said before that they only managed to hunt those Ferocious Beasts because they had been trampled and gravely injured by a more powerful Ferocious Beast passing through."

"But this time, the Green-Scaled Eagle isn't gravely injured, and it's even stronger."

"I'm afraid that if Shi Linhu's hunting party faced it rashly without preparation, even they would be no match for it."

"Let alone that kid called Shi Yan."

"Even if he's stronger than Shi Linhu, could he really surpass the entire team Shi Linhu leads all by himself?"

Yu Xiaogang clearly thought that was impossible.

After all, as Yu Xiaogang understood it,

on Douluo Continent, as long as seven Soul Masters formed a team, they could easily defeat a stronger Soul Master above their level!

And the lower their cultivation realms,

the more likely a Soul Master team was to defeat a stronger Soul Master several realms above them!

Although the heavenly screen's world had a stronger power system,

Shi Yan, Shi Linhu, and the others were still only primitive people from a primitive tribe.

They had only just entered the cultivation system.

So they certainly couldn't be exceptions either!

Under these circumstances,

Yu Xiaogang didn't think Shi Yan could be all that much stronger than Shi Linhu and the others just because he had broken through to the next realm!

And even Shi Linhu's whole team might not be able to deal with the Green-Scaled Eagle,

let alone Shi Yan alone!

Hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, Flender, Tang San, Dai Mubai, and the others nodded, finding them quite reasonable.

If such a powerful, terrifying Ferocious Bird came to their world, it could probably sweep through an entire city!

Shi Yan was even younger than they were.

Even if his cultivation system was stronger, that was only in comparison with that of Douluo Continent.

How could he possibly deal with such a terrifying Ferocious Bird?

The heavenly screen's world.

"Brother Dazhuang, Brother Skinny Monkey!"

Little One Shi Hao was still anxious.

"But then won't you be in danger?!"

"This is the only way now!"

Shi Dazhuang said with a bitter smile.

"All right!"

"Shi Hao, you're stronger than all of us, and you're small, so you can definitely run faster."

"We're counting on you to go back and fetch Big Brother Shi Yan!"

With that, Shi Dazhuang immediately told Little One to hide and called to the other children carrying beast-hide bags to run with him in the opposite direction, drawing the Green-Scaled Eagle away from Little One.

"Brother Dazhuang, run that way!"

"There should be a cave there with a really small entrance. As long as you get inside, the Green-Scaled Eagle definitely won't be able to get in!"

Suddenly, as if he had remembered something, Little One pointed in a direction and spoke excitedly.

"Are you sure there's a cave?"

"Mm!"

Little Shi Hao was a little embarrassed, his small face turning slightly red, but he spoke earnestly.

"It's right over there!"

"Last time, I chased a little scarlet bird out of the village and almost got lost. That's how I found the cave."

Since it was real, Shi Dazhuang and the others had no time to tease Little Shi Hao.

After telling Shi Hao to hide,

Shi Dazhuang and the others turned and ran toward the cave with the beast-hide bags containing the Green-Scaled Eagle's eggs on their backs, using trees and other obstacles as cover as they fled.

"Screee!!"

Seeing the human thieves who had stolen her eggs running in another direction, the Green-Scaled Eagle let out an angry cry in the air and beat her wings in pursuit.

After seeing Shi Dazhuang and the others draw the Green-Scaled Eagle away, Little One Shi Hao gritted his teeth, rushed out, and sprinted toward Stone Village with all his might.

Meanwhile, at the village entrance,

Shi Yan had just finished cultivating. After letting out a long breath, he stood up, loosened his limbs, and prepared to head back for a meal.

Although he could already go without food after breaking through to the Cave Heaven Realm,

Shi Yan still liked to eat something delicious every day to satisfy his appetite.

But on his way home,

Shi Yan noticed that the mischievous children who liked to play and roughhouse all over the village were nowhere to be seen.

"Xue'er, have you seen Little One, Skinny Monkey, and the others?"

After returning home, Shi Yan looked at Qian Renxue and asked, puzzled.

"I saw them. They were all together and said they were going out of the village to play an adventure game."

Qian Renxue answered without giving it much thought.

"An adventure game?"

Hearing that, a strange look flashed in Shi Yan's eyes.

None of those kids are easy to handle. Their idea of an adventure probably isn't an ordinary one...

"Something doesn't feel right. I'm going out to have a look!"

Shi Yan frowned, touched his chin with his right hand, and turned to leave.

"I'm coming with you!"

Seeing that Shi Yan sensed something was wrong, Qian Renxue's pretty face changed slightly. She realized that the adventure game Skinny Monkey had mentioned probably wasn't the sort of game she had imagined, like hide-and-seek.

Everyone in Stone Village had been very kind to her.

If her carelessness caused Skinny Monkey and the others to come to harm,

she wouldn't be able to live with herself!

With that, Shi Yan and Qian Renxue immediately ran out of the house and headed straight for the outskirts of the village.

They had only just left the village

when Shi Yan heard piercing cries from the distant sky, sharp enough to pierce metal and shatter stone. His expression changed.

"Oh no! Little One, Skinny Monkey, and the others are in danger!"

"I'll go take a look!"

Qian Renxue hurriedly activated the Supreme Bone Prototype within her. Three pairs of golden wings spread from her back, and she beat them, instantly soaring into the air and flying toward the sound.

At the sight, a trace of envy flashed in Shi Yan's eyes.

Damn it!

Why can't I fly?!

Although Qian Renxue's Supreme Bone trait was still only a prototype,

and its exclusive Precious Technique had yet to take shape,

perhaps because it had been transformed from the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul,

even though the Supreme Bone was still only a prototype and hadn't developed its exclusive Precious Technique,

Qian Renxue could still spread three pairs of golden wings and fly.

Shi Yan was green with envy.

Shi Yan had originally wanted to use Trait Copying to copy Qian Renxue's Supreme Bone Prototype · Douluo Version and gain the ability to fly.

But because Qian Renxue's Supreme Bone was still just a prototype and far from complete,

even though Shi Yan could copy it,

doing so would cost him the chance to copy Qian Renxue's complete Supreme Bone · Douluo Version trait later.

After all, they counted as the same trait, and he couldn't copy it twice.

Shi Yan could only give up on the idea for now.
