Chapter 201 - Racing against Time
“However.”
While flying, Ye Xuan picked up the feather of the Red Luan that had flown into his hand. Feeling the hot energy, it was giving off. He was slightly helpless.
He sensed through the Tidal Treasure Snail.
That the feather was giving off a rich aura of some treasure.
He guessed those feathers that the Holy Fiery Red Luan had sent away earlier should be the same.
At the same time, holding that feather in his hand, he just needed to activate it with a little bit of his Mind Energy, and its tip would point in some direction.
In such circumstances, the Tidal Treasure Snail’s treasure-seeking ability was not so important anymore.
And this time, all those who came to Bujin Mountain were Beast Tamers on the Silver level.
They were all among the best young Beast Tamers in various prefectures.
For example, Ren Xue, who did not go to the Dragon Horn Planet with him last time, came this time.
Besides, there was no age limit this time.
He supposed there were very strong Silver-level Beast Tamers from the other prefectures as well.
So, this time, he would have to try his best.
“The Holy Fiery Red Luan has given us three days. That is really a surprise. I am wondering how many feathers on earth the Holy Fiery Red Luan sent away just now.”
Ye Xuan stopped hesitating after having thought everything over.
He sped up to fly in the direction pointed out by the feather of the Red Luan right away.
On his way, he went on using the Tidal Treasure Snail’s Real-Time Map to avoid potential dangers.
That would save him some more time compared to others.
However, dozens of Beast Tamers came into the Bujin Mountain area this time. Besides him, the other Beast Tamers also had all kinds of weird beasts. He supposed some of these beasts must be able to detect dangers from far away, too, so that their Beast Tamers could avoid dangers in advance.
Whoosh!
Flying with Lil Wan, Ye Xuan flew across the sky in an arc. Soon, following the guidance of the feather of the Red Luan, he arrived at a cave.
“What is this?”
Ye Xuan used the Tidal Treasure Snail’s Real-Time Map to investigate the surroundings after landing in front of the cave. He found the feather of the Red Luan he had found this time was at the end of the cave, which was not an ideal location at all.
In addition to that, there was a tiger with red patterns lying on its stomach in the cave.
And at this moment, the feather of the Red Luan was right in the middle of the forepaws of the tiger with red patterns. And the tiger was staring at it motionlessly.
The tiger seemed to be taking in some energy from the feather of the Red Luan as it breathed.
It seemed to be enjoying that energy a lot. It narrowed its eyes after inhaling, seemingly completely relaxed.
Ye Xuan was dumbfounded at the sight of that.
It would be fine if this feather of the Red Luan he had located were just a special case.
However, if all of the feathers the Holy Fiery Red Luan had sent away were in similar circumstances, he would be at a loss. He did not know what he could say if that really happened.
“Well, now that there is no way to avoid this, I will have to fight.”
Ye Xuan took a deep breath.
He identified the cultivation level of the red tiger in the cave through the Tidal Treasure Snail’s Real-Time Map. It was on a high Silver level.
Ye Xuan waved his hand. Instantly, a black and red Calamity Force of Wind and Fire flew out of his hand. It whooshed across the air towards the cave in front of him.
Growl!
He heard the red tiger’s angry growl coming from the cave instantly.
As it growled, the tiger got to its feet. It opened its mouth, and fire came out of there. The fire cracked Ye Xuan’s Calamity Force of Wind and Fire almost immediately.
The Calamity Force of Wind and Fire that Ye Xuan mastered by himself was quite powerful. However, apparently, it was still not powerful enough to resist the attack from a monster on the high Silver level.
This ability of his was more like a support.
Growl!
At this moment, when the red tiger had put out Ye Xuan’s Calamity Force of Wind and Fire, it instantly left the feather of the Red Luan it had been holding between its paws on the ground of the cave.
Then it dashed out of the cave directly.
As if it was curious who had had the nerve to provoke it.
“Eh?”
Ye Xuan was slightly struck dumb outside the cave when he had seen this from the Real-Time Map.
“Would you leave such a precious thing in the cave if I tried to provoke you? I didn’t expect you to do it for real. What a surprise.”
With that thought in mind, Ye Xuan broke into a smile.
Then, right the moment the red tiger dashed out of the cave, he shifted his consciousness to call Obscurus out of its Beast Lair. Obscurus instantly showed up at the end of the cave.
Whoosh!
As soon as Obscurus showed up in the cave, it reached out for the feather of the Red Luan that the red tiger had just left. It grasped the feather with its hand.
It looked around in the tiger’s cave with that pair of pitch-black eyes of its. Then it picked up a few red stones there and kept them, too.
Boom!
As soon as the red tiger dashed out of the cave, the first thing it saw was a giant verdant wood that Lil Wan had called out casually.
This giant verdant wood looked totally like a giant tree.
However, it had neither crown nor root.
As if Logger Vick had cut it down.
Growl!
Seeing the giant verdant wood that Lil Wan had thrown towards it, the red tiger hurried to open its huge mouth and released more fire towards the wood.
The fire transformed rapidly after having been released. It turned into a vivid giant fiery tiger in a second.
Fiery Spiritual Tiger: Two Stars
Beast Level: Silver (High)
Abilities: Fire Manipulation, Heart of Flame, Tiger Roar
Evolution Path: Fiery Spiritual Tiger King
Ye Xuan identified the Fiery Spiritual Tiger’s attributes when he had seen it dash out of the cave and barely ward off a casual attack from Lil Wan.
Ye Xuan shook his head right away after having identified its attributes. He told Lil Wan to take him away immediately.
Trash!
Growl!
The Fiery Spiritual Tiger was dumbfounded outside the cave.
It was puzzled why those two suddenly left after having provoked it for no reason.
However, from that attack from Lil Wan, it had realized she was a strong enemy.
Therefore, seeing Ye Xuan and Lil Wan leave, it also felt relieved.
“Well, I will just go back to stay with my treasure.”
It went back into the cave quickly.
Growl!
However, a furious growl came from the cave in an instant.
Shameless!
You lured me out of the cave!
And you stole my treasure!
Fight against me for real if you have got some balls!
“Nice!”
On Bujin Mountain, Ye Xuan sent a dash of his consciousness into Obscurus’s World of Darkness. He saw after a glance that Obscurus had put away the feather of the Red Luan it had obtained.
Whoosh!
He shifted his consciousness while feeling cheerful.
However, as he obtained a feather of the Red Luan, he found the bigger Red Luan feather in his hand suddenly shone with a message.
“First place: Ye Xuan, one feather of the Red Luan.”
“Second place: Ren Xue, one feather of the Red Luan.”
“Third place: Zuo Hongtian, one feather of the Red Luan.”
“Shoot!”
Ye Xuan was struck dumb by the message.
What is that supposed to mean?
This thing can spy on us? It knows everything we do?
And you even know my name?
Ye Xuan felt the strong malevolence from the Holy Fiery Red Luan when he had seen the message.
You even listed our names with our ranks. Who would be able to stay calm?
Those ranked lower would certainly want to catch up as soon as possible.
And those ranked higher would naturally desire to broaden the gap.
“Well, I have to try my best this time.”
Gazing at the two names ranked behind him on the list of those who had collected the feathers of the Red Luan, Ye Xuan suddenly felt pressured.
Those two obviously got their feathers of the Red Luan just after he had got his.
At the same time, he knew if his feather of the Red Luan could display such a message, the others’ feathers of the Red Luan certainly could as well.
Ye Xuan acted immediately. He did not want to waste any more time.
He told Lil Wan to take him into the deep area of Bujin Mountain following the guidance of the feather of the Red Luan in his hand.
“Ye Xuan!”
Over a burning valley in the Bujin Mountain area, Ren Xue flew across at high speed, standing on a red spiritual sparrow whose wingspan was dozens of feet long. She was shocked as soon as she saw the message from the feather of the Red Luan in her hand.
The entire Jiangzhou University talked about Ye Xuan since she had gone back from the Secret Realm.
They all said he was a genius.
After the fight between Ye Xuan and Ye Tiange, many people even said Ye Xuan might get onto the Rising Star List very soon.
She was quite unhappy with these comments.
In this world, no matter how talented you are, there is a limit, isn’t there?
She did not believe Ye Xuan would surpass her so fast.
“Go!”
She touched the Fiery Spiritual Sparrow with her tiptoes. Then, guided by the feather of the Red Luan, they flew to the next location.
“They are so fast. Especially… Ye Xuan from Jiangzhou University is speedy!”
At the same time, a tall young man at a peak was also slightly shocked. He had just won a feather of the Red Luan from a Magic Flame Python.
He instantly maneuvered the Sky Swimming Giant Spiritual Snake he was mounting to another place.
“Darn it. Why are those guys so lucky? I have not even reached the first place yet.”
At the same time, at another peak in the Bujin Mountain area, a young sloven suddenly felt pressured when he had seen the message.
“Nine pigs, let’s go! Hit the road.”
Then he hurried to maneuver the nine Spotted Dragon Pigs he was mounting. Flapping their eighteen pig ears, they sped up to take him to his destination.
He waved his hand again on the way. Then a white piggy with smooth skin showed up in his hands.
Gazing at the white piggy, he kept rubbing its belly in an ingratiating way. At the same time, he said, “Snow, my girl, can I make a wish to you?”
“Ye Xuan. This dude is so fast, though Ren Xue and Zuo Hongtian are not slow, either.”
Tang Mengxia, standing on the Icy Fiery Spiritual Butterfly, prayed for Ye Xuan as soon as she saw the message from the feather of the Red Luan in her hand.
She knew Ye Xuan had met his match this time.
It was beyond doubt that Ye Xuan was strong, but his Beast Tamer level was after all much lower than others’.
And above all, there was no age limit for Beast Tamers who had come into the Bujin Mountain area this time.
Only the cultivation level was limited.
All Beast Tamers who had not achieved the Gold level and did not have any Gold-level beast, which meant they were not on the verge of achieving the Gold level, were allowed to enter this area.
“Eh?”
When everyone had been shocked by the message from the feather of the Red Luan.
Ye Xuan passed by a burning plain on his way. He found the feather of the Red Luan in his hand suddenly started to shake violently.
It seemed there were a great number of feathers of the Red Luan in some single place.
“What is that?”
Ye Xuan shifted his consciousness.
“Lil Wan, Let’s go and have a look.”
He instantly told Lil Wan to take him to the location the feather of the Red Luan had pointed him out.
