C1298 A Retreat Vulture
In front of Ye Hongtian and the others, a vulture was staring straight at them. Judging from the vulture's aura, it was at least at the first level of the Awakening Realm, possibly even stronger.
"Brother Earth Python, this vulture... should be a Bone Devouring Vulture. Can you handle it?" Ye Hong Tian asked with a solemn expression.
The Earth Python shook its arm and made a posture to prepare for battle. It replied, "This bird is powerful! If it is willing to fight me on the ground, I will be able to defeat it, but I will not be able to defeat it in the sky."
These words were very direct, but as soon as it finished speaking, the Earth Python directly charged towards the Bone Devouring Vulture. Although it knew that it couldn't defeat the Bone Devouring Vulture in the air, it was like it had gone mad as it launched an attack on the Bone Devouring Vulture.
Originally, Ye Hong Tian wanted to help the Earth Python, but as soon as he got close, he was thrown into disorder by the reckless fighting style of the Earth Python, making it impossible for him to make a move.
Zi Ming watched the Earth Python and the Bone Devouring Vulture fight from the side with a serious expression. Because he had just truly learned how to use Zhen Yuan to fly not too long ago, the Earth Python's fighting movements in the air were very clumsy, and it quickly fell into a disadvantageous position.
"Hong Tian, the Earth Python seems to be struggling. Do you want to use a Terminator Thunder Pearl from a distance to support him?" Zi Ming turned to look at Ye Hong Tian and asked.
Ye Hong Tian, who was still carefully watching the battle between the Earth Python and the Bone Devouring Vulture, twitched his mouth when he heard this. Then, as if he had discovered something, he brought Zi Ming and slightly increased the distance between them.
"The Earth Python's fighting style is really too reckless. If I were to provide any support... It is very likely that it will hurt the Earth Python and play a negative role. However, the Earth Python doesn't need our support. Look carefully at his fighting style, even though it's reckless... Perhaps this is the special fighting style of the earthen python's tribe. We'll just watch. At that time, if the situation doesn't turn out right, we just need to save the Earth Python." Ye Hong Tian said with a smile.
After hearing what Ye Hong Tian said, Zi Ming carefully observed the battle between the Earth Python and the Bone Devouring Vulture. After a moment, she truly saw the uniqueness of the Earth Python's fighting style.
The Earth Python hugged the Bone Devouring Vulture's long neck with its bear. This action was very direct. As a demon beast, the Bone Devouring Vulture naturally chose the simplest way to deal with it, which was to use its sharp beak to stab at the Earth Python.
Just as the Bone Devouring Vulture's beak was about to pierce through the Earth Python's chest in the next second, the Earth Python flipped to the right in the process of charging forward, and just like that, it brushed past the Bone Devouring Vulture.
Of course, this was not an ordinary brushing by. The Earth Python, who flew past the vulture, grabbed the vulture's huge wings tightly with its two hands, and used its strength to rip off a large number of feathers.
As a Bone Devouring Vulture whose strength was close to the first level of the Awakening Realm, the feathers on its body were absolutely not ordinary feathers. They were extremely sharp, and it cut open the earthen python's palm.
The Earth Python did not care about the injuries on its palm. It pulled out a few feathers that had pierced into its palm, licked the blood that flowed out of its palm, and charged towards the Bone Devouring Vulture once again.
The crazy fighting method of the Earth Python caused Ye Hong Tian to involuntarily swallow a mouthful of saliva. He extended his soul force over. This soul force was not used to detect the state of the Earth Python and the Bone Devouring Vulture, but was used to disturb the Bone Devouring Vulture.
Ye Hong Tian's pure soul force was not something that even an expert at the first level of the Awakening Realm could compare with. This soul force formed a protective barrier around the Earth Python. However, the Earth Python's fighting style immediately broke away from the range of Ye Hong Tian's soul power.
Ye Hong Tian did not care about this situation. The soul power that should have formed a protective barrier turned into a needle shape when the earthen python and the Bone Devouring Vulture fought.
This needle was ten feet long and as thick as a child's arm. If this was a real thing, it would definitely take half of its life if it was stabbed by this thing.
Riiiip!
The Earth Python once again ripped off the feathers on the Bone Devouring Vulture's wings. Taking advantage of the moment when the Bone Devouring Vulture let out a blood-curdling scream, the Soul Energy Needle that Ye Hong Tian had long condensed pierced through the Bone Devouring Vulture's body.
After the soul power needle pierced through the vulture's body, it instantly disappeared. The vulture didn't have a single wound on its body, but its eyes were still staring blankly at Ye Hongtian.
The Bone Devouring Vulture stopped moving. This was a good opportunity for the Earth Python. The Earth Python was prepared to directly kill the vulture, but suddenly... The eyes of the Bone-eating Vulture were no longer dull, as if it had been dyed red with blood. After flapping its wings twice in midair, fresh blood flowed out from the vulture's eyes.
At the same time, not far away, Ye Hongtian's face turned pale. He spat out a mouthful of blood, and his pupils showed signs of dilating. However, he quickly recovered.
Zi Ming hurriedly supported Ye Hongtian when he saw this. He looked at Ye Hongtian with a worried expression and asked, "Is he suffering from a backlash from soul power?"
Because Zi Ming had been watching the battle from the side, she was able to capture the movements of Ye Hongtian, the Bone Eating Vulture, and the Earth Python. Zi Ming naturally knew that Ye Hongtian had used his soul force to attack the Bone Eating Vulture.
Afraid that Zi Ming would be too worried about him, Ye Hong Tian smiled at Zi Ming in an attempt to make Zi Ming feel relieved. Unfortunately, his smile, which had a hint of blood at the corner of his mouth, only made Zi Ming even more worried. It had the opposite effect.
"I think that Bone Eating Vulture won't be able to defeat the Earth Python. I'll take you down to rest now!"
After saying that, Zi Ming didn't care about Ye Hong Tian's refusal. She dragged Ye Hong Tian to the ground and knelt down, letting him rest on his tiny knees.
Being taken care of by Zi Ming like this, Ye Hong Tian felt warm in his heart. If it wasn't for the backlash from his soul force, his mental state would have been too poor. He wished he could sit up and kiss Zi Ming.
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When he opened his eyes again, he had already activated the Mirror Image Yin Yang Eye and observed the situation in the sky.1
The Bone Devouring Vulture, whose sea of consciousness had been severely injured, no longer had the strength to be at its peak. As for the Earth Python, other than some injuries on its hands, it was at its peak state in all other aspects. The outcome of this battle was already very clear.
However, what Ye Hong Tian did not expect was that the Bone Eating Vulture, who should have been angry because of the injury, chose to turn around and run after confronting the Earth Python for a while.
The Earth Python wasn't familiar with the true essence flight, so it naturally couldn't catch up to the bird that was the Bone Eating Vulture. Although the Earth Python caught up in time, the distance between them was gradually widened, and it finally disappeared from his field of vision.
"Damn bird! If you can't beat it, then run!"
The Earth Python cursed in midair. Then, it turned around and looked at Ye Hong Tian, who was on the ground. With his eyesight of the first level of the Awakening Realm, he could see where Ye Hong Tian and Zi Ming were.
He quickly landed on the ground and came to Ye Hong Tian's side. He took a look at Ye Hong Tian's pale face. The Earth Python did not know what was going on. However, he did not reveal a puzzled expression. Instead, his face was filled with worry.
Ye Hong Tian was very considerate of a person he had only known for a day to be so worried about him. He softly said, "I'm fine." After he said that, the headache caused by the backlash of his soul power almost made Ye Hong Tian faint.
