Chapter 171: Golden-winged Roc

“Flying Sword Technique!”

A three-inch flying sword instantly turned into a sword over three feet long. Xu Feng jumped up and landed on the flying sword. With a thought, whoosh—he flew towards the mountaintop.

The Black Ape Village Chief watched Xu Feng able to fly, and his face turned dark.

Originally, he just wanted to find someone to stir up trouble, but he didn’t expect this human could fly.

Right now, on the mountain peak, the Beastkins and monsters were all tangled together. Moving one part would affect the whole. At most, they could play tricks nearby, push a few Beastkins, or pull a few monsters. If they targeted anyone specifically, it might start a big fight.

Yuan Yi had originally planned for Xu Feng to act as a troublemaker. Besides, Xu Feng had been in contact with the Beast Demon Village before and was even seen by the Beast Demon Village Priest. There would be some friendship between them. Xu Feng would probably be too embarrassed to attack the Beastkins. That meant he would only fight the monsters. These monsters were very clever, not much less intelligent than humans. But often, they were controlled by their instincts. Greed and hunger often blinded them, making them unable to see clearly. If Xu Feng jumped in, the monsters might all attack Xu Feng together. Then the Beastkins’ pressure would lessen a lot.

Xu Feng controlled the flying sword to head toward the mountaintop. The peak was hundreds of meters high, steep and straight. Xu Feng’s Sword Element True Qi was constantly being used up. Using the Flying Sword Technique used a huge amount of energy, and Xu Feng needed to save some just in case.

When only one third of his Sword Element True Qi remained, Xu Feng steered the flying sword toward the mountain cliff.

Boom—

A loud noise. The flying sword stabbed into the mountain cliff. Xu Feng, standing on the flying sword, took out a bottle of energy potion and drank it.

When his Sword Element True Qi was almost fully recovered, he controlled the flying sword again and flew toward the peak.

During the flight, he did not bother the Beastkins and monsters climbing up the mountain. He coexisted peacefully with them. His speed was very fast; he didn’t need to use any small tricks.

However, even though he didn’t want to use tricks, someone didn’t want him to go so smoothly.

Whoosh—

A black shadow flew toward him. Xu Feng quickly controlled the flying sword to dodge.

A rock the size of a fist brushed past his scalp and flew into the distance.

A tiger-headed Beastkin was grinning, breaking off another protruding rock. He weighed it in his hand a couple of times and threw it at Xu Feng.

Although this tiger-headed Beastkin only had Three-Star Strength, his power was no less than a Four Stars monster. The rock in his hand was almost like a cannonball. If hit, bones would break. A small rock could have the power of a cannon shell.

Xu Feng felt a little angry. This Beastkin didn’t seem to understand his position. They were over two hundred meters above the ground. Xu Feng was in the air, while the Beastkin could only cling to the cliff, freeing one hand to throw rocks.

Originally, Xu Feng had some friendship with the Beastkins, but now that this tiger-headed Beastkin attacked first, Xu Feng threw away those messy thoughts. He turned around and flew toward the tiger-headed Beastkin.

“Kid, what can you do to me? If you have skill, let’s fight three hundred rounds on the ground! I’ll squeeze the shit out of you!” The tiger-headed Beastkin laughed loudly and clenched his fist arrogantly at Xu Feng.

The tiger-headed Beastkin felt he couldn’t climb anymore. Might as well pull Xu Feng down too, and not let him get the rare treasure at the top.

Xu Feng gave a cold laugh. He pulled out a crossbow and shot at him.

“Damn it! You little brat! If you have skill, fight me with real weapons! Using a crossbow is nothing!” The tiger-headed Beastkin was shocked, dodging repeatedly and shouting loudly.

Xu Feng ignored him. Right now it was like shooting at a living target. Floating in the air, he watched the tiger-headed Beastkin twist left and right like a clown.

Thump, thump, thump—

Several crossbow bolts struck the tiger-headed Beastkin’s body. Soon, he looked like a porcupine, bleeding heavily.

Seeing that Xu Feng wasn’t going to stop, the tiger-headed Beastkin got very angry. He actually let go of the cliff, roared, and leaped at Xu Feng through the air.

Xu Feng sneered, put away his crossbow, and controlled the flying sword with a whoosh, heading for the mountaintop.

The flying sword was like a part of him. Controlling it was as easy as moving his own arm. Even in the air, he was agile and free.

“Ah—”

The tiger-headed Beastkin let out a scream. Even with Three-Star Strength, falling from over two hundred meters high would either kill him or leave him disabled.

“Asked for it!” Xu Feng snorted coldly, watching the tiger-headed Beastkin crash onto a rock, blood splattering everywhere.

For a moment, the climbing Beastkins and monsters looked at Xu Feng with fear, afraid he might use the same method against them. On the cliff face, they could only use thirty percent of their strength. It was hard to defend against crossbow bolts shot from the air.

Xu Feng also didn’t want to use such methods. If the tiger-headed Beastkin hadn’t provoked him first, he wouldn’t have done it. He put away his crossbow, snorted coldly, and flew upward.

Xu Feng was very fast. He left all the climbing Beastkins and monsters far behind. White mist surrounded him. Looking down, the climbing Beastkins looked like ants.

Xu Feng looked up. Only a few dozen meters remained to the top. He could already see, on a protruding rock in the center of the mountaintop, a Treasure Chest the size of a soccer ball, glowing with seven colors.

“A seven-colored Treasure Chest. In my past life, I only heard that someone in the Russia region encountered one. After opening it, that person got a two-handed battle axe. Later, people called him the Axe King. His attacks were extremely fierce.” Xu Feng felt delighted. He never thought he would also encounter a seven-colored Treasure Chest one day.

Flying to the mountaintop, Xu Feng panted a little. The seven-colored Treasure Chest was right in front of him, within reach. He never thought he would get a Sacred item one day.

Xu Feng was about to go open the Treasure Chest when he suddenly felt a chill, a huge threat rushing at him. His skin hurt all over.

“What is it that can threaten my life?” Xu Feng was alarmed. He forgot about opening the Treasure Chest and quickly summoned his flying sword, looking around carefully.

Whoosh—

A silver Trident flew toward the peak. Xu Feng threw himself to the side.

The Trident stabbed into the spot where Xu Feng had just been standing. Rocks flew everywhere. Opening the Treasure Chest would have taken a few seconds. If Xu Feng had insisted on opening it just now, he would have been seriously injured.

“Who is it?” Xu Feng shouted angrily.

A black dot appeared in the sky, flying toward him.

Xu Feng looked closely. It was actually a Golden-Winged Great Peng, who had taken human form. A pair of golden wings sparkled behind him. His face still looked like a Great Peng bird, but his body and limbs were very close to a human’s.

“Xu Feng, you cannot take this Treasure Chest!” The Golden-winged Roc spoke, calling out Xu Feng’s name directly.

“A Beastkin? You’ve actually awakened intelligence too?” Xu Feng was inwardly shocked.

The Golden-winged Roc was originally a legendary creature, incredibly powerful. Now that it had awakened intelligence and gained wisdom, how could ordinary people resist it?
