Chapter 479: Three-tiered Monster News

Instantly, the fine yellow sand swirled, transforming into a massive yellow fist several tens of feet wide, which slammed towards the giant blue eagle.

A gigantic lightning ball the size of a house descended from the sky, menacingly crashing towards the giant blue eagle.

The giant blue eagle flapped its wings fiercely, flying to the left. Just then, the colossal lightning ball suddenly exploded, turning into a brilliant blue sun that engulfed an area several tens of feet in radius.

Unable to evade in time, the giant blue eagle was enveloped by the blue sun, letting out a miserable shriek.

Seizing the opportunity, the giant yellow fist plunged into the blue sun. A tremendous roar erupted, and the giant blue eagle plummeted out of the blue sun. Its aura was weak, its body charred black, emitting a plume of hot steam. Many of its feathers had fallen off, making it appear extremely disheveled.

A whistling sound tore through the air from within the blue sun, as hundreds of yellow flying knives shot out, piercing through the giant blue eagle's body.

The giant blue eagle let out a bloodcurdling scream and plummeted from the sky.

Seeing this, the other giant blue eagle swirled around and flew off in a certain direction at an even faster speed.

Wang Changsheng was about to intervene and stop it, but he seemed to sense something, so he did not act. Instead, he conjured a net-shaped magic tool to cover the giant blue eagle's corpse.

The other giant blue eagle was extremely fast; in less than three breaths, it was already hundreds of feet away. A golden light and a red light appeared on the horizon, flying straight towards it.

The giant blue eagle just happened to collide with the golden and red lights. The golden light flared intensely, and a vast array of golden sword shadows swept out, striking towards the giant blue eagle.

The giant blue eagle flapped its wings, unleashing a blue hurricane several tens of feet high.

A rumbling roar echoed, and the blue hurricane was shattered.

Seizing this opportunity, the giant blue eagle flapped its wings, swirled around, and changed direction.

The red light flared brightly, and a large expanse of crimson flames flew out, transforming into a massive crimson firebird, which pounced on the giant blue eagle.

A dazzling red light beam shot over, striking the giant blue eagle precisely. The giant blue eagle let out a piercing scream, and its speed slowed down. The crimson firebird accelerated, crashing into the giant blue eagle.

A tremendous roar echoed, and a vast expanse of crimson flames engulfed the giant blue eagle.

A golden long rainbow lightning-fast plunged into the crimson sea of fire, and the giant blue eagle plummeted out of it.

Wang Changsheng put away his magic treasures and the giant blue eagle's corpse. Two streaks of light also flew over.

They were a stern-faced middle-aged man at the fifth layer of Core Formation, and a short, stout old man in red robes at the sixth layer of Core Formation. Both had a lifelike yellow flood dragon embroidered on their sleeves, which was the symbol of Yellow Dragon Island.

Yellow Dragon Island was one of the four major powers in the Coral Sea Region, presided over by Nascent Soul cultivators, and possessed formidable strength.

The red-robed old man's gaze fell upon Wang Changsheng, and he asked in a deep voice, "Have you encountered a young man in a red shirt?"

He raised his hand, and a red conch shell flew out, twirling. It emitted a red light, revealing the image of a fair-faced young man in a red shirt.

"This person is a sixth-layer Core Formation cultivator, extremely bloodthirsty. He is wanted by our Yellow Dragon Island. Those who know his whereabouts but fail to report will be severely punished. Anyone deliberately concealing information will be treated as an accomplice and executed without mercy. Those who actively report his whereabouts will be generously rewarded. His head is worth a bounty of 500,000 spirit stones."

Wang Changsheng shook his head, saying, "Fellow Daoists, I have not seen this person."

"Seniors, we haven't seen this person either." Ye Lang and the others all spoke up.

The red-robed old man took out a small red mirror, pointed it at Ye Lang, and a red glow flew out, covering Ye Lang's face. There was no abnormality.

"This person knows disguise techniques, so we are just conducting a routine check, with no ill intent."

The red-robed old man checked everyone one by one, not even sparing Wang Changsheng. The red mirror showed no abnormalities.

"It seems that scoundrel isn't here. Let's go, we'll continue the pursuit. All of you be careful; this person is extremely bloodthirsty. If you encounter him, run immediately."

The red-robed old man left those words, and he and his companion transformed into two streaks of light, soaring through the air.

Wang Changsheng frowned slightly, thinking to himself, "A fifth-layer Core Formation cultivator is so bloodthirsty; the South Sea is truly chaotic."

The auction was about to begin, and he needed to depart for Golden Dragon Island to attend it.

He looked at Ye Lang and smiled, "Little Friend Ye, long time no see. The next time I see you, I might have to call you Fellow Daoist Ye!"

Ye Lang offered a polite smile, explaining, "Senior, you jest. Core Formation is not that easy. We owe you a great debt this time; if not for you, we would have been in danger. Thank you for saving our lives."

He bowed respectfully to Wang Changsheng, his expression deferential.

"Thank you for saving our lives, Senior." The other cultivators in the monster-hunting team also bowed to Wang Changsheng, saying in unison.

"It was nothing. As you heard, this place is not safe. Hurry back!"

Wang Changsheng was about to pilot his blue flying boat away, when Ye Lang called out to him, "Senior, wait. I have something very important to tell you."

Wang Changsheng's rescue this time could be attributed to their past acquaintance. Next time, it might not be the case. Being able to form a connection with a Core Formation cultivator would be beneficial for his future development.

"What is it?"

Ye Lang transmitted his voice, saying, "I've discovered the nest of a third-tier Fire Qilin Pig. If Senior trusts me, I am willing to lead the way for you."

Ye Lang made this decision with great courage. He could have sold this information to a large merchant, but that would only get him a sum of spirit stones. Wang Changsheng had actively helped them, showing his good character. Ye Lang wanted to solidify his relationship with Wang Changsheng, so telling him this news was the most appropriate course of action.

"Fire Qilin Pig? Do you know its specific tier? And how many people know about its nest?"

The Fire Qilin Pig is relatively large and a somewhat rare beast in the South Sea. Its entire body is a treasure. Its inner core is the main ingredient for refining the third-tier Three-Origin Elixir. The Three-Origin Elixir is a healing pill, and it is very expensive.

"I discovered the Fire Qilin Pig's nest by accident. Currently, only I know about it. Its nest is in the Coral Sea Region. As for its tier, it should be mid-third tier, or even higher."

Wang Changsheng's expression showed a hint of disappointment. If it were a low-third tier beast, he might dare to hunt it. But a mid-third tier Fire Qilin Pig might be too much for him. Fire Qilin Pigs live in the sea and never come ashore. Without a third-tier formation flag, he couldn't trap the beast. The starting price for a third-tier formation array is 300,000 spirit stones, and a better one costs 600,000 to 700,000 spirit stones, which is very expensive, but not surprising. For a third-tier array, the main flag is at least a proto-magic treasure, and the auxiliary flags are high-grade magical artifacts. For some good third-tier arrays, the main flag is a magic treasure itself.

"Alright! You lead us to take a look. If it truly is a third-tier Fire Qilin Pig, I will not treat you unfairly."

Ye Lang agreed, gave a few instructions to his companions, and then left with Wang Changsheng.
