Baby with Daoist Monarch System

Chapter 629: Chapter 253: Peril in the Mountains! (Part 2)

It seems to be trying to take Xu Ran to the cliff where the Vermilion Fruit and mural were found at that time. After all, besides the Divine Eagle Skill, the mural also depicts a small person with nine Immortal Swords behind them. Even just on the mural, Xiao Bai can already feel its terror.

If the master learns the divine technique from the mural, perhaps there will be an unexpected trump card when facing the Snake King in the future.

Moreover, even if the mural is nearly ten thousand meters high, once discovered by other birds of prey, it might be destroyed.

With the experience from last night’s bamboo grove exploration, Xiao Bai knows that in the Great Mountain, there are extremely mysterious Demon Beasts with terrifying existences that have not appeared. Who would dare say there are no Demon King-level birds of prey in the Great Mountain?

However, the mural is on the edge of the cliff, at a height of a thousand meters from the ground, nearly ten thousand meters, so it can only carry its master over there itself.

Even though Xiao Bai just saw Xu Ran capable of controlling the wind to soar, reaching nearly ten thousand meters high is very difficult. For safety’s sake, it can only carry him up itself.

Furthermore, if it weren’t for the huge progress made in the Divine Eagle Skill yesterday, it would still be somewhat difficult to take a person to fly to a height of ten thousand meters.

Although Xu Ran doesn’t know what Xiao Bai wants to do, he still follows its intention and sits on its back. It’s possible that not coming back for a night is because of this matter.

His hands clutch Xiao Bai’s back feathers.

Xiao Bai senses that the master is up, and immediately a high-pitched cry echoes from the Xu Family courtyard, slowly ascending to help the master adapt.

In the house, Lian Ji hears Xiao Bai’s voice, comes out to check, initially thinking of expressing some concern about why it didn’t return for a night and then helping to arrange some roast meat.

As a result, upon coming out, she sees her son Xu Ran sitting on Xiao Bai’s back, slowly ascending, and before long, they have already reached a height of a hundred meters.

Lian Ji has never seen such a scene and, worried about Xu Ran’s safety, hurriedly shouts, ”Xiao Ran, Xiao Bai, what are you two doing? Come down quickly!!”

Xu Ran hears his mother’s voice, looks down, sees her anxious expression, and hurriedly explains.

”Mother, I’m fine, don’t worry!”

Clearly, Xu Ran’s words can’t dispel Lian Ji’s worries, ”No, you both come down quickly, what if you fall?”

This is a hundred meters high, if you fall, what then?

Even if Xu Ran is extraordinary and a genius, he’s still just a little over a year old, physically frail. Not to mention Xu Ran, even Xu Binghu would have to lie in bed for a year if he fell from a hundred meters, and may not even wake up.

But Xu Ran trusts Xiao Bai very much and shouts, ”Mother, just go back, we’ll be back soon!”

With that, he pats Xiao Bai’s back.

Xiao Bai understands his meaning, and a white streak flashes across, suddenly disappearing in the sky above Great Wilderness Border Village.

Lian Ji watches the departing figures of Xu Ran and Xiao Bai, her face filled with worry.

Xu Ran sits cross-legged on Xiao Bai’s back, eyes closed, feeling the airflow in the high altitude, holding the beast hide, carefully comprehending the Wind Control Skill.

Currently, Xu Ran is at an altitude of several thousand meters, where the wind flows are completely different from the ground, offering excellent conditions for cultivating the Wind Control Skill, so he directly starts cultivating.

Xiao Bai also slows down to take care of the master, worried that the pressure might be too much to bear, causing bodily harm.

Soon, Xiao Bai takes Xu Ran to the sky above the strange mountain rift from yesterday. Just as it is about to signal Xu Ran to look down to see if he can discover why this rift is so peculiar.

Suddenly.

”Bang--”

Not far away, a sudden sound breaks through the air, directly attacking Xu Ran and Xiao Bai, with a terrifying aura following closely, extremely fast, like a lightning bolt.

As soon as Xiao Bai senses this aura, it immediately performs the Divine Eagle Skill, its body instantly enlarging, flying right to avoid that terrifying aura.

Xu Ran, in the midst of cultivation, also feels this aura, instinctively grabs Xiao Bai’s feathers, and immediately asks, ”What’s happening?”

Just as he finishes speaking, a strong wind rushes from behind Xu Ran, accompanied by bursts of coldness. Turning around, he sees a giant eagle with sharp eyes following closely behind Xiao Bai.

Compared to Xiao Bai’s body size, the three-meter-tall giant eagle can easily crush it, and the aura emanating from the giant eagle is also stronger than Xiao Bai’s. The pair, for a moment, seems quite awkward.

”This giant eagle?! Such a powerful bird of prey in the Great Mountain, it seems that Xiao Bai is not its match!!”

Xu Ran initially thought that with Xiao Bai’s current cultivation, it could roam freely in the Great Mountain, and even if it encountered beasts it couldn’t defeat, it could escape with speed. But today, it seems it won’t be that simple.

Xiao Bai barely manages to dodge the giant eagle’s sneak attack, hovering with Xu Ran in the high sky.

At this moment, the two king-like birds of prey in the Great Mountain’s sky officially face off.

The Demon Beasts in the Great Mountain also feel the sudden chilling aura from the sky, hiding in fear of getting involved, while some bolder beasts hide their aura to secretly observe.

Xiao Bai looks at the giant eagle that just attacked it, with an expression not only of anger and vigilance but also a trace of puzzlement.

It has never seen this beast before, nor has it ever provoked it. Why would it come to attack now, especially while it’s carrying its master Xu Ran? If it hadn’t dodged in time, causing Xu Ran to fall, the consequences would be unimaginable!

Xu Ran, its master’s reversed scale, once touched, would result in a fight to the death!!

Instantly, Xiao Bai’s aura also becomes cold, its body begins to grow slowly, and its innate qi transforms into a faint white aura, surrounding them.

As the mist formed by the innate qi rises, the surrounding airflow seems controlled by Xiao Bai, and even Xu Ran, in the high sky, can’t feel any resistance.

This is Xiao Bai channeling its innate qi and simultaneously performing the Divine Eagle Skill, combining the two, making its aura surge, somewhat catching up to the giant eagle’s aura, but still with some disparity.

”This...” Xu Ran is somewhat astonished by Xiao Bai’s transformation, ”Could this be Xiao Bai’s talent skill?”

Among Demon Beasts, there’s no shortage of bloodline inheritance, and among them, powerful secret skills and talent skills are passed through bloodlines. Xiao Bai, as a Peregrine Falcon, is already a king among the sky’s birds of prey, so having such talent skills is not surprising.

Moreover, being able to enlarge Xiao Bai’s size by three times, such a talent skill is indeed quite perverse.

Among Demon Beasts, Xiao Bai is not yet mature, and compared to other mature beasts, it is too small. But with this innate divine technique, it can erase some of the disparities, which is great for Xiao Bai.

However, the giant eagle not far away, facing Xiao Bai, upon seeing its transformation, its eyes become fiery.

”Screech----”

A high-pitched and excited cry rises as it looks at Xiao Bai, akin to a lustful ghost seeing a peerless beauty, unable to take its eyes off.

”No, this isn’t right!”

Feeling the gaze of the giant eagle, Xu Ran immediately overturns his previous guess, that this transformation of Xiao Bai’s isn’t a talent skill.

”This aura doesn’t solely belong to Xiao Bai, but rather to birds of prey, a unique divine technique of birds of prey. Did Xiao Bai have such an encounter during its time away from home before??”

Xu Ran speculates from the giant eagle’s behavior about the source of the divine technique Xiao Bai is using. In that case, everything makes sense, and he also understands Xiao Bai’s past actions.

The giant eagle has clearly taken a liking to the divine technique Xu Bai is using, specifically coming to intercept Xu Bai, wanting it to hand over the divine technique.

Seeing Xiao Bai’s transformation, its size becomes huge, from the original fifty centimeters tall to now a full meter and a half in size.

If such a divine technique was learned by this giant eagle before him, with its three-meter giant body undergoing a threefold increase to nine meters, and adding its wind-control divine technique, its speed would geometrically multiply, and the giant eagle in the Great Mountain’s sky would become utterly unmatched.

Xu Ran pats Xiao Bai’s back and says, ”Xiao Bai, be careful, this giant eagle is no easy match!!”

Even though Xiao Bai has displayed the divine technique, its aura and size compared to the giant eagle are still vastly different.

Xiao Bai heavily nods; it also knows this is not an easy fight. Moreover, master Xu Ran is still on its back and has to be cautious, effectively multitasking.

”I brought the master to this place. Even if I die, I must bring the master back safely!”

Xiao Bai thought to itself.
