Chapter 517: Still Just a Kid
If it truly is the Red Moon, then it's unsafe here. Might as well find a town overnight, especially since Ye Tianfan has already slept the whole afternoon and isn't tired at all now.
So, Ye Tianfan decided to travel through the night, that way he could find a town a bit earlier.
Ye Tianfan reluctantly left this comfortable place, etching it deeply in his heart, thinking if he ever got a chance to come here again, he'd definitely do so.
While flying in the sky, Ye Tianfan suddenly remembered he might not have any money on him. He had given nearly all of it to the people at the inn; he probably only had enough for food, definitely not enough to stay at an inn.
It seemed he'd have to go hunting, Ye Tianfan decided to catch a Demon Beast, sell it in town, and become rich again.
After thinking about this, Ye Tianfan lowered his flying altitude a bit, getting ready to look around for a low-level Demon Beast that he could capture alive.
That way, he could capture it alive and then sell it for money.
Just at that moment, Ye Tianfan suddenly sensed a gust of wind coming from the lower right side.
Someone ambushed him. With a twist in the air plus a 720-degree spin, Ye Tianfan dodged it all at once, even managing to take a glance at the hidden weapon that attacked him.
Hmm? Is it a feather?
Ye Tianfan clearly saw that the projectile that flew past was indeed a feather, a black and red feather.
Ye Tianfan stopped in mid-air, then looked in the direction of the attack, and saw more feathers flying toward him.
Ye Tianfan hurriedly summoned the Xuanhuang Pagoda to defend against the oncoming attack.
"Ding ding~"
The feathers were all blocked by the Xuanhuang Pagoda, and only then did Ye Tianfan have the energy to see who was attacking him.
It turned out to be a big rooster.
No mistake, Ye Tianfan saw a big rooster, even though he knew it was a Demon Beast, it looked just like a big rooster.
It had a beak as sharp as an eagle's, black eyes, a huge crimson comb on its head, a semicircular wattle beneath its beak, its wings spread wide towards Ye Tianfan, and the feathers on its wings were colorful, like a rainbow. It also had long, hard, sharp golden claws, with nails that reflected light.
"This seems to be..." Ye Tianfan looked at the big rooster, trying hard to remember books about Demon Beasts he had read: "Seems like Rainbow Chicken Wings, no, that's a dish, this should be a Rainbow Chicken!"
The big rooster indeed was a Rainbow Chicken, with strength around the first or second level of Qian Yuan. It's a Demon Beast with no particular features, only that it looked good.
It was named Rainbow Chicken because the first Cultivator who encountered it was very strong, had never seen it before, and its strength wasn't strong either. He killed over a dozen with a flick of his finger, saw its rainbow-like wings, and casually named it Rainbow Chicken, a name that stuck ever since.
Isn't this just a meal delivering itself? Catching and selling it means he won't have to worry about money for this trip to the Ancient Wilderness.
Thinking of this, Ye Tianfan hurriedly flew down, eager to battle the Rainbow Chicken.
Ye Tianfan's gaze towards the Rainbow Chicken had changed; it was as if it wasn't a Demon Beast, but a large pile of silver taels.
As Ye Tianfan descended, the Rainbow Chicken relentlessly shot feathers at Ye Tianfan.
However, all were blocked by Ye Tianfan's Xuanhuang Pagoda. When Ye Tianfan, under the protection of the Xuanhuang Pagoda, landed in front of the Rainbow Chicken, it put away its wings and started using its sharp beak and claws.
Then the Rainbow Chicken desperately pecked at Ye Tianfan's Xuanhuang Pagoda, scratching it with its claws.
The Rainbow Chicken's attacks were limited to these few: long-range was shooting feathers, close-range was its sharp beak and claws, and nothing else.
Seeing the Rainbow Chicken's desperate efforts, Ye Tianfan wasn't in a hurry. He found it amusing that the Rainbow Chicken was trying its best to deal with him, but all were blocked by the Xuanhuang Pagoda. The Rainbow Chicken, unaware, continued its frantic attacks against Ye Tianfan.
Indeed, a chicken's brain is small and can't think.
Ye Tianfan summoned the Fire Lotus Sword, enshrouded it with a thick layer of Spiritual Power, and slapped it towards the Rainbow Chicken.
He couldn't use the sharp edge of the sword, and Ye Tianfan's Flying Sword didn't have a sheath, so he covered it with thick Spiritual Power, acting like a sheath, and slapped it towards the Rainbow Chicken.
Being smacked, the Rainbow Chicken squawked angrily, "Cluck cluck cluck!" and then continued its frenzied pecking at Ye Tianfan.
Yet it was all in vain, as the Xuanhuang Pagoda still blocked all of Rainbow Chicken's attacks.
Ye Tianfan clicked his tongue a few times at the Rainbow Chicken's attacks, remarking that with purely physical attacks, he could have the Xuanhuang Pagoda withstand them for ten days and nights, so Ye Tianfan practically felt no consumption.
Then Ye Tianfan smacked the Rainbow Chicken a few more times, each time it squawked angrily before onslaughting Ye Tianfan again.
"Even though your strength is at Qian Yuan, you're just a junior in front of me, what's the use? The strength of Qian Yuan doesn't even reach mid-level Wanxuan's." Ye Tianfan shook his head at the Rainbow Chicken.
Then he gave it a few more hefty smacks, but the Rainbow Chicken responded the same way, squawking angrily and launching a frenzied attack on Ye Tianfan.
"Is it really that resilient?" Ye Tianfan was a bit surprised, thinking he was smacking it quite hard, putting his full power into each slap. Even on the last one, he infused more Spiritual Power into his arm to make it stronger, yet the Rainbow Chicken seemed unscathed, showing no injuries or even swelling at the places it was hit.
This was getting a bit tricky; Ye Tianfan helplessly looked at the Rainbow Chicken in front of him. It was indeed a bird but surprisingly resilient, worried that using a lethal move might injure or kill the Rainbow Chicken.
If only he knew Earth Attribute Immortal Techniques, he could easily trap the Rainbow Chicken and bring it to the inn for the chef to handle.
Unexpectedly, he found himself short of non-lethal techniques now.
Actually, the Rainbow Chicken wasn't hard to beat, and by Ye Tianfan's previous strikes, he could have knocked it out in one or two hits.
But what Ye Tianfan didn't notice was that the moon was getting redder, visibly turning crimson.
While the Rainbow Chicken's comb and wattle were growing redder as if they might bleed.
