Chapter 490: Entering with the Opportunity Arising


    At this moment, in thevake at the center of the second level of the God Advent Tower, the flock of strange birds had just finished another round of hunting.


    They piled the prey they had caught together. Tens of strange birds ovepped their wings and formed a circle. Once again, they began their odd ritual.


    And at this moment, their leader appeared.


    It flew down from its “throne” on the cliff and circled in the air a few times before retracting its wings andnding in the middle of the flock of strange birds as it enjoyed the worship of itsckeys.


    It did not stand on ceremony as it extracted the dead preys’ heart’s blood, filling up a bone cup. Just as it was about to pick up the bone cup to fly back to its nest, it suddenly felt something amiss.


    The sticky hearts’ blood in the bone cup gently rippled forming wave after wave of concentric circles. The ground... was slightly trembling!


    What was happening?


    The three-legged strange bird was a bit dull. With its intelligence, it could not understand why the ground was trembling immediately. It turned its head slightly and looked far into the distance.


    What it saw made itpletely dumbfounded. It saw a massiverge turtle failing its limbs as the turtle charged at itself!


    While thisrge turtle was running, it constantly brandished its long red tongue which disarrayed the ground.


    The entire ground was filled with dust and mes. There was no way to tell what was happening in the dust cloud.


    In fact, Yi Yun, who was hidden inside the dust cloud had already used the Purple Crystal to conceal all his energy. The strange three-legged bird may have extremely sharp eyes, but its perception was much weaker, so how could it discover Yi Yun’s presence?


    Deste beasts, especially strong ones, were extremely territorial.


    The three-legged strange bird had long treated the mountain range around thevake as its territory. It did not allow other strong deste beasts to entering it.


    “Xiao— Xiao—Xiao—”


    Tens of strange birds let out a ear-piercing wail. They gathered together, spread out their wings and opened their de like mouths. Using this method, they tried to warn therge turtle deste beast to stay away.


    However, therge turtle deste beast had already been provoked by Yi Yun again and again, and it was already in a frenzy state. So why would it care about the strange birds’ warning?


    Even when it was calm, with its pride, it would have never spare a thought for these strange birds.


    Seeing therge turtle deste beast approaching them, the strange birds were angered as they all charged up into the sky to face their enemy.


    They believed that therge turtle deste beast was targeting their red lotus!


    The red lotus in the middle of thevake was their treasure. No matter what deste beast wanted to rob them of their red lotus, they would kill them all!


    Therge turtle deste beast moved closer andrge swaths of Fusang trees were toppled by therge turtle!


    Pieces of wood flew into the sky like rolling waves. Therge turtle deste beast was about to reach theirvake!


    The strange birds could no longer tolerate it any further. Having entrenched here in thevake for so many years, there were other deste beasts who wanted to steal their treasure. Therge turtle in front of them was also given the same ssification.


    The leading three-legged strange bird let out a scream! This was its attack signal!


    Tens of strange birds charged at therge turtle!


    Although the strange birds wererge in size, they were still smallpared to therge turtle. Besides, therge turtle was covered in heavy armor, so it was in no way afraid of the attacks from the sharp ws.


    “Dang! Dang! Dang!”


    The strange birds’ metallic ws and wings swiped at therge turtle as they emitted a metallic sound, but therge turtle was in no way injured.


    However... for a prideful existence like it to be provoked by an ant-like human and suddenly, having a flock of sparrowsing out of nowhere, the brewing volcano within therge turtle finally erupted!


    In a frenzy state, how could therge turtle consider if the strange birds were enemies or allies of Yi Yun? As long as something blocked its path, it would kill them all, not leaving a single one of them alive!


    “Roar!”


    Therge turtle roared as it shot out its blood-red tongue as fast as lightning!


    “Phuah! Phuah!”


    Two strange birds were consecutively bitten by the snake head on the tip of the thick tongue.


    The snake head on the tip of the tongue had an rming bite. Furthermore, it had dreadful venom that caused the strange birds that were bitten by it to immediately rot, turning into a pool of blood!


    At this moment, Yi Yun had long hidden in a corner. He saw this scene with his own eyes and he felt fear.


    The red python on therge turtle’s mouth had such dreadful venom? If he had touched a bit of it, he would probably already been reduced into a pile of white bones...


    A living creature that was abination of a turtle and snake reminded Yi Yun of the ck Turtle. The divine beast, ck Turtle had a dragon’s head and a turtle’s body, with a snake coiled on its back. Although therge turtle in front of him was definitely weaker than the ck Turtle, it gave off a strange feeling with the snake in its mouth.


    Seeing two strange birds die, the three-legged strange bird let out a clear cry. This cry echoed into a far distance and immediately, the trees in the surrounding woods began to shake. One after another, strange birds rose up from the woods!


    These strange birds spread out their wings and flew in unison as they blocked out the Sun. They were like a mass of dark clouds.


    With the shadows of the strange birds projected downwards, the sky seemed to dim a bit. Yi Yun’s rough count was that there was at least a hundred strange birds flying in the air!


    Out of the more than hundred strange birds, a portion of them wererger in size than the typical strange bird. Their beaks were even longer and there were about a dozen of them. Clearly, their strength was greater than the normal strange birds, and they were only second to the leading three-legged strange bird.


    Yi Yun was secretly amazed while watching on the side. With more than a hundred, it was no wonder this flock of strange birds could upy the central area of the second level of the God Advent Tower and managed to monopolize the red lotus.


    This amount of strength was something any other deste beast species could notpare with in the second level.


    With a huge enemy before them, the strange birds went out in full strength, but even so the strange birds’ sharp ws and metallic wings were unable to break through therge turtle’s defenses.


    Therge turtle roared and he spat out his blood-red tongue like a venomous sword. One after another, strange birds were pierced through by the tongue! As the strange birds were torn apart, their corpses fell to the ground as blood dyed the sky!


    A lone strange bird could be easily killed by therge turtle in an instant. However, the number of strange birds was too great, especially with a terrifying existence like the three-legged strange bird present.


    When therge turtle spat out its tongue to pierce a strange bird, the three-legged strange bird took this opportunity and shot out like a bolt of lightning!


    Cha!


    It brandished its three metallic ws and grabbed at therge turtle’s tongue!


    Using its momentum, the three-legged strange bird’s attack was frightening. It managed to slice a small piece of therge turtle’s tongue off!


    Blood spurted out as therge turtle felt pain. It let out a painful wail.


    And at this moment, the three-legged strange bird cried sharply and opened its beak to spit a fiery ball of light at therge turtle.


    The three-legged strange bird was after all a pure Yang-elemental deste beast, so it condensed its pure Yang energy to use a long distance attack!


    With the three-legged strange bird taking the lead, the dozen or sorger strange birds also opened their beaks andunched a ball of light as an attack!


    Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Large number of light blobs smashed onto therge turtle, causing an intense explosion.


    Instantaneously, the mountains trembled as soil and rock copsed. Large swaths of Fusang trees were annihted!


    The battle had reached its most intense stage. With the three-legged strange bird’s lead, the flock of strange birdsunched their counter attack at therge turtle!


    Yi Yun had no intentions of marveling such an intense battle. It was the perfect time for Yi Yun to make his move at this stage!


    He eyed the cliff. At this moment, the sentries on the cliff were no longer present. At the moment the battle began, the three-legged strange bird’s sharp cry was a signal for the strange birds to put on a massive offensive.


    Yi Yun had exhausted his abilities to draw a ferocious creature to another just for this moment!


    He used the Purple Crystal to conceal his presence and charged towards the mountain cliff...


    Yi Yun’s first choice was not the red lotus in thevake, but the strange bird’s nest at the top of the mountain cliff.


    He knew that after the strange bird gathered the lotus seeds and the blood from the deste beasts’ hearts, it had brought it all back into its nest.


    Yi Yun wanted to know what the flock of strange birds were up to in that nest.


    Maybe there were even extra lotus seeds left inside the nest.


    To prevent being discovered, Yi Yun clinged tightly against the rocks as he proceeded quickly. Very quickly, he arrived below the cliff. When he looked up at the strange birds’ nest, it was about a hundred feet high.


    Yi Yun could easily reach that height with a jump, but to remain hidden, Yi Yun chose to climb the rock wall on the back of the cliff. Like an agile lizard, he moved extremely fast up the cliff.


    Soon,Yi Yun reached a position level with the strange birds’ nest. Only then did he flip himself from the back of the cliff to the front.


    Whew!


    Using the time to blink an eye, Yi Yun entered the birds’ nest. The ck shadow that disappeared the next moment was not discovered by any deste beast.


    Yi Yun unsheathed his sword. Although it was unlikely that there were any strange birds left in the cave, it was always wise to be careful. Yi Yun had long activated his energy vision. Everything in here could be seen by him.


    Outside the cave, there were still the intense battling sounds from two deste beast lords. Yi Yun turned a deaf ear towards it. His speed was extremely fast as he reached the deepest ends of the cave in a few strides.


    The strange birds’ nest was about a hundred foot deep. Along the way, Yi Yun saw several bones of deste beasts. Many of the bones were in pieces after being chewed on. Bone powder was scattered on the ground while there were signs of blood sttered on the rocks.


    This was practically a ughter house.


    At this moment, Yi Yun felt an unparalleled intense energy fluctuation in the Purple Crystal’s vision.


    The source of the fluctuation came from the deepest end of the cave.


    Here, in the darkness, Yi Yun saw arge turtle shell. This turtle shell’s diameter was about two meters across and it was overturned on the ground. Arge portion of the turtle’s shell had been sliced away, leaving the carapace, which was perfect for a huge bowl.


    More than half of the turtle’s shell was covered by deste beast hide. Beside the turtle shell, there were some bone cups made from the bones of deste beasts.


    There were remnants of fresh blood on the bone cups. It was the blood from deste beasts’ hearts.


    Yi Yun realized that the three-legged strange bird must have collected the hearts’ blood and stored it in the turtle shell.


    Yi Yun pulled the deste beasts’ hide away, and what he saw was a strange scene.


    He thought that the turtle shell was filled with fresh blood, but the scene of smell of blood smashing into his olfactory nerves did not happen. Instead, Yi Yun smelt a fragrance.


    He looked down and he saw that at the bottom of the turtle shell, there was a scattered pile of red ss beads. They were crystalline like precious stones...
