Chapter 1013: Chapter 618: Ancestral Spirit Essence Soul, Spirit Pet Advancement, Glory Within Reach!

The massive dark shadow folded its wings and came to a sudden halt ten steps away from Fang Zhou.

Fang Zhou finally realized that standing before him was an enormous Silver Pegasus.

The name of the flying beast surfaced in Fang Zhou’s mind from the textbooks at Sea City Military Academy.

In Mythical World, every race and civilization had its suitable flying units.

The Wood Elf race had their Eagle.

The Rock Dwarves had their Thunderbird.

The Wilderness Orcs had their Two-legged Flying Dragon.

And the Silver Pegasus was one of the most powerful flying beasts of the Blue Star humans.

Although during yesterday’s siege there were at least a thousand Silver Pegasi dueling overhead, the distance made it difficult for Fang Zhou to clearly see what these spirit beasts looked like. Now, he could finally take in their full appearance.

He saw the giant beast sitting there, about three meters high, taller than Olaf by half a head.

Before folding its wings, Fang Zhou estimated its length, discovering it was at least seven meters.

The lower half of its body was covered in silver fur, and its head, like that of a Unicorn, was covered in crystalline transparent scales from head to forelimbs.

Its sharp eyes flashed with the dazzling blue of ice crystals, exuding a regal majesty.

As Fang Zhou approached, Major General Guan Huchi proudly introduced, "This is my beloved steed, the leader of the Silver Pegasus Knight Order—Zhao Ying!"

Fang Zhou had seen this kind of spirit beast in the Beast Fighting Man battlefield before, but never up close.

He eagerly wanted to reach out and touch Zhao Ying’s feathers and scales, but surprisingly, the fierce Zhao Ying was not appreciative.

The horn tilted, seemingly wanting to strike down, scaring Fang Zhou into quickly withdrawing his hand!

"Haha, Fang Zhou, you might have just shown a trace of hostility, that’s why Zhao Ying reacted this way." Major General Guan Huchi laughed beside him.

"This thing sure holds a grudge!" Fang Zhou thought to himself.

"Zhao Ying, do not offend Brother Fang Zhou; he saved your master’s life yesterday!"

Major General Guan Huchi continued speaking to Zhao Ying.

Upon hearing this, the Silver Pegasus, Zhao Ying, performed a very human-like gesture.

It lay down like a cat, placing its head at Fang Zhou’s feet, with its long tail wagging toward Fang Zhou.

So humane!

Fang Zhou was utterly amazed.

Thinking of the Major General offering him a gift, Fang Zhou wondered if it could be Zhao Ying, his mind leaping to wild conclusions.

But seeing the Major General’s care for Zhao Ying, it seemed unlikely.

A question arose in Fang Zhou’s mind: yesterday when Guan Huchi fell from the Hell Pit Fortress’s wall, the Silver Pegasus that flew away didn’t seem to match Zhao Ying’s physique.

"Brother, I remember the one you rode at the fortress yesterday wasn’t Zhao Ying!"

Bringing this up, Major General Guan Huchi gritted his teeth and said, "Of course, Zhao Ying’s health has been weak lately and isn’t fit for flying.

Yesterday, I rode a subordinate’s steed.

If yesterday’s had been Zhao Ying, those damn magic brats wouldn’t have forced me into such a wretched state!"

Though yesterday’s battle ultimately didn’t warrant a reprimand from Major General Ning Danxin, he was clearly displeased with the outcome of being pushed into retreat and suffering severe injuries.

The two continued forward with the Silver Pegasus until Guan Huchi finally arrived at the place he had mentioned.

This turned out to be the temporary training base for the Silver Pegasus Battle Group.

Because Silver Pegasi were the natural enemies of regular warhorses and to avoid disturbing the cavalry of the Dawn Legion, the Silver Pegasus Knight Order had settled far from the Hell Pit Fortress.

Fortunately, as powerful Silver-level spirit beasts, Silver Pegasi could easily flap their wings and quickly reach the Hell Pit Fortress, not delaying their missions.

Hundreds to thousands of massive Silver Pegasi frolic in the camp.

Either soaring in the sky, practicing diving techniques, frolicking, or dueling with one another—the scene was quite spectacular.

Major General Guan Huchi told Fang Zhou that these proud Silver Pegasi should not be treated as ordinary warhorses.

Being penned up, tied down, whipped, or restrained with reins were all things Silver Pegasi could not tolerate.

A trained high-level warhorse would obey verbal commands and hand-signal instructions.

As spirit beasts with powerful bloodlines, Silver Pegasi would be even more intelligent, understanding more complex directions.

They can clearly see a rabbit from thousands of meters high in the sky.

Even at night, they can gather the faintest light to see their surroundings and hunt effortlessly.

Their hearing is extraordinarily sharp, able to distinguish footsteps from hundreds of meters away.

Moreover, Silver Pegasi are natural wind attribute spirit beasts. As adult Silver-level spirit beasts, they can cast Gale Skill and large-scale Wind Blades.

While Fang Zhou pondered why Major General Guan Huchi was elaborating on this, Guan Huchi finally stopped concealing the truth.

He told Fang Zhou that the gift he referred to was none other than the rare resource of the Silver Pegasus herd—Ancestral Spirit Essence Soul.

Silver Pegasi were not native to Blue Star but were introduced by the Longxia Federation from an elf territory in Mythical World.

As the inherited animal companions of the Elf Race, the Silver Pegasus herd has a close relationship with elves.

The Ancestral Spirit Essence Soul of the Silver Pegasus herd is a rare resource that may only form in a significant Silver Pegasus group where many have died in one graveyard.

This resource is not only crucial for the growth and evolution of young Silver Pegasi, but is also highly attractive to elf-type beings.

As soon as Major General Guan Huchi mentioned this, Fang Zhou immediately understood.
