Chapter 688 - 180: Six Beast Cages (Part 2)
The Ice River Mad Elephant belongs to the latter.
"Ah, isn’t Emperor Flame in trouble? Ancestor Master, please tell us, what is so powerful about this mad elephant," Huang Que’s face was full of urgency, her fondness for "Emperor Flame" was blind, all she could think of was their victory.
"This demon beast, with its bulky body, can trigger a group attack magic called ’Ice River Roar’ when it runs. However, this magic takes some time to activate, so as long as the opponent can restrain the magic attack, they can handle it," Zong Ren analyzed thoroughly.
As they spoke, another demon beast cage was opened.
In the second demon beast cage, there was a Flame Lizard.
This was also an early-stage commander-level demon beast, specializing in exhaling poisonous magic spurs.
The Fire Spur would explode in mid-air, and there was no chance of survival for any target within a hundred meters range.
This demon beast’s weakness was more apparent, you just need to stay over a hundred meters away and use magic attack.
The second group’s team visibly relaxed, as they had two mages skilled in long-range attack magic.
"It’s our turn now, the third beast cage," the hearts of Emperor Flame and Lion Heart’s people raced.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I don’t know whether to congratulate you or... you have drawn the most beautiful type of demon beast, which is also an extremely troublesome demon beast," Huo Si still had the mood to joke.
He gently removed the magic cloth from the birdcage-sized beast dragon as if revealing a beautiful bride’s veil.
As soon as the cloth fell, many people in the arena couldn’t help but stand up, wanting to see the demon beast inside the cage clearly.
"Ah!" Emperor couldn’t help covering his mouth, and Li Xinyue also widened her eyes.
No wonder Huo Si called it the most beautiful demon beast.
Neither Yan nor Zong Ren, summoners like them, had ever encountered a more beautiful demon beast than the small one in front of them.
It was a little bird, only the size of a woman’s palm, with exceptionally bright gold-green feathers.
The bird’s beak and claws were red, and especially its tail had a pair of beguiling large feathers that shimmered like countless gold coins in the sunlight.
The Blue Paradise Bird during courtship would either raise its head and arch its back, erecting the gold-yellow fluff on both sides of its body; or hang upside down on a branch, spreading its vibrantly woven-like feathers to attract female birds.
"Hell Bird!" Ancestor Master who was still analyzing the traits of the previous demon beast, suddenly opened his mouth wide.
"Such a beautiful bird, how can it be called Hell Bird? I feel it should be called Paradise Bird, its beauty isn’t inferior compared to phoenixes and peacocks," Huang Que also saw the little one in the beast cage.
It seemed a bit shy, awkwardly standing in one corner of the cage.
"Ah, that’s because you’re blinded by its beautiful appearance. That very little Hell Bird has once killed a thousand strong Hunting Corps. Now, do you still think it should be called Paradise Bird?" Zong Ren kept shaking his head.
Speaking of the Hell Bird, this bird wasn’t originally called by this name.
It was originally called the Seven-colored Zither Bird, known for its beautiful sound, belonging to a very special kind among demon beasts.
But most of these zither birds have become extinct.
Rarely seen on the continent, because of this, some noble girls and women take great pride in breeding these birds.
About two hundred years ago, a favored concubine of Emperor of Post Qin insisted on capturing a Seven-colored Zither Bird.
Emperor of Post Qin then sent an army of a thousand men to a remote forest to catch it.
But that army, composed of Middle-level Martial Artists and several Mages, mysteriously met complete annihilation upon entering the forest.
When the later forces went to search, they only found mountains of corpses and bones, with a few beautiful birds flying above.
Those birds are what we now call Hell Birds.
The luck of Flame Emperor and Lion Heart is truly not so good.
The three Demon Beasts announced earlier, among them the smallest is the Hell Bird, but its threat is undoubtedly the highest.
If they do not find a way to secure victory, the four of Flame Emperor and Lion Heart might fall under the wings of the Hell Bird today.
But the origin of the Hell Bird is not known to everyone.
At least, the two from Lion Heart still thought they had drawn a very good lot.
The Emperor thought the same, she even pulled Yan and said, "Do we really have to compete against that little bird later? It’s so pretty, I really don’t want to strike it down."
"A barking dog never bites, the more beautiful the appearance, the more venomous they are, we cannot afford to underestimate," Yan didn’t know the origin of the Hell Bird either, but being called a Hell Bird, it surely had some abilities.
Yan did not lower her guard, with her vision, she unexpectedly couldn’t figure out the strength of this Demon Beast.
It seems this little one’s strength is even more profound and inscrutable than the others.
"Lion, that Demon Beast is too beautiful, after killing it later, I want to use its feathers to adorn my Mage Robe," Li Xingyue arrogantly pointed at the bird inside the cage.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this beautiful little bird has a name that does not match its appearance at all, called Hell Bird," as everyone was enamored by the beauty of the Hell Bird.
A crafty look briefly crossed the face of Huo Si.
Apart from a few individuals, no one noticed the schadenfreude in Huo Si’s eyes.
Anyone who underestimated the Hell Bird, hoping to obtain its beautiful feathers, would definitely pay a bloody price.
Following the announcement of the Demon Beast in the third cage, the Demon Beasts in cage number four and five were also revealed.
A Middle-level Commander Demon Beast, Three-Headed Ghost Dog, seeing it, Yan couldn’t help but think of Little Black from the Beast Language Ring.
However, compared to that Three-Headed Ghost Dog, Little Black was much larger and had an even more impressive aura.
The Three-headed Ghost Dog is also the only Dark Magic-type among all the Demon Beasts, it possesses speed like the wind.
In cage number five was a Thunder Wolf, capable of blasting thousands of volts of Thunderbolt.
All five cages have been revealed, leaving the sixth cage as the only one that has not yet been disclosed.
Because of the massive Ice River Mad Elephant and the incredibly beautiful Hell Bird, most people’s attention was already diverted, nobody particularly noticed what exactly was inside the sixth cage.
Based on the size of the sixth Demon Beast Cage, many people guessed that it might contain a Demon Beast the size of a horse.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we’ve come to the final moment, after announcing this last Demon Beast, we will immediately enter the tense and thrilling first round of the annual competition. The Demon Beast in cage number six, we will reveal it to you now."
There was urgency in Huo Si’s voice, not just for the upcoming competition, but also for the last cage.
With trembling hands, he pulled off the last piece of Magic Cloth.
