Chapter 618 - 282: The True Sky Tyrant! Dome Feather Frost Blade!_3

Perhaps they haven’t reached the Snow Mountain yet, but the captain and the others have already captured the New Star Association cadre codenamed "Cangying" and numerous seasoned members.

Thus, compared to the fourth team determined to cleanse their shame, the entire ninth team, having witnessed the mighty Blazing Heaven Falcon, appeared at ease as if on vacation.

Before they knew it, Pudaxue Mountain was already within reach.

Upon arriving at the base camp, Wang Yong presented his work ID and then had the staff seal off the entrance, subsequently leading a large group of Investigation Department members into Pudaxue Mountain.

By now, the sun was already high up, bathing the land in brilliant sunshine.

Golden light was sprinkled over the entire mountain, and Jiang Wenning and the others were still immersed in the spectacular scene of the sun shining on the mountain, savoring it for a long time.

Chang Yuhuan operated the camera nearby, while the expressionless Li Junyue was snapping photos, piquing Jiang Wenning’s interest: "Xi Gua, you can take photos too."

Li Junyue’s voice was deep: "To show my wife and kids back home."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Wenning’s eyebrows curved in delight, and he gave a thumbs-up: "Family men are different indeed."

Standing at the Snow Mountain Peak, feeling the soft snow underfoot, surrounded by howling winds, and the sight of endless mountains and lush forests stretching as far as the eye can see is truly refreshing and liberating.

Besides the three of them, there were only two other climbers.

Perhaps yesterday’s fierce winds had discouraged many climbers, leaving the peak of the snow mountain empty and desolate.

After Chang Yuhuan finished photographing the time-lapse, Jiang Wenning put away his phone: "Let’s descend, Cola should be advancing soon."

The two nodded in agreement, then packed up their gear to descend and witness Cola’s advancement ceremony.

"Roar!!!"

At this moment, a familiar roar tore through the sky, resounding through the clouds.

Everyone looked up to see the Lin Xiao Beast from the day before appearing before their eyes, its massive body soaring below the firmament, its fierce face complemented by its roar, chilling them to the bone.

Compared to its bizarre appearance yesterday, the Lin Xiao Beast now lived up to its name as the Sky Tyrant.

Jiang Wenning murmured: "Didn’t see you this mighty yesterday."

Yesterday’s Lin Xiao Beast was like a bootlicker, being rejected by Chen Yuan three times before giving up.

"Let’s go." Li Junyue glanced indifferently, then withdrew his gaze. Although a Lin Xiao Beast was indeed rare, they still had serious matters to attend to at the moment.

"Shriek!!!"

But just then, a piercing shriek echoed in their ears, sending shivers through their souls and bodies.

Everyone looked up in astonishment to see a larger figure breaking through the clouds, unapologetically soaring beneath the sky.

From afar, it seemed to be an eagle with expansive wings and a sharp beak.

But upon closer inspection, this pet beast’s body was covered in irregular ice-blue patterns, with feathers in a blue-gray hue resembling quenched cold iron, the tips of its tail feathers gradually turning ice blue, crowning its head with a sharp, dignified crest.

Its golden eyes seemed infused with molten gold, the edges of each feather surrounded by minute air currents that shed frost crystal fragments when flapping.

It was a pet beast they had never seen before, but Jiang Wenning and the others had already seen its statue version in Longda Village.

Upon the appearance of the Dome Feather Frost Blade, Li Junyue’s pupils suddenly contracted and he said in a low voice: "We were right; this big bird is indeed the same as the statue from Longda Village."

Chang Yuhuan used a zoom lens to capture every detail of the Dome Feather Frost Blade’s body and inquired: "Has it survived from ancient times to now?"

Jiang Wenning, holding the Ice Crystal Illusion Cat in his arms, looked up at the Dome Feather Frost Blade and shook his head: "No, that’s impossible."

"This creature is clearly not Divine; it couldn’t possibly possess the ability to sleep for millennia."

She paused slightly, a hypothesis surfacing in her mind: "Perhaps this place inherently suits such pet beasts’ habitat, thus giving birth to them, even after countless years."

They speculated about the mysterious bird’s origins and identity, but the Lin Xiao Beast seemed to turn into a mere follower of the Dome Feather Frost Blade, eagerly trailing behind without the previous majesty of the Sky Tyrant.

This isn’t a Tyrant; it’s evidently a mere tag-along.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Wenning nodded in realization: "So this creature is indeed the real Sky Tyrant of Pudaxue Mountain."

Li Junyue retracted his gaze; to him, the allure of the mysterious bird couldn’t compare to the advancing Cola, reminding them: "Let’s descend first."

"Alright." The two nodded; this time they were truly about to descend.

However, a familiar figure suddenly leaped high into the air, in an instant vaulting to great heights, launching an attack on the Dome Feather Frost Blade!

Jiang Wenning called out in a deep voice: "It’s the Abyssal Giant Mushroom!"
