C39 Fighting the Ice Spirit Eagle

"What are you scared of? It's just a young Ice Spirit Eagle and its strength is only around the Peak of Level two."

It didn't take Ling Dong'er a long time to realize what Lin Chuan was worried about. She couldn't help but laugh. She didn't dare overestimate herself. A level-three demon beast could take ten of them out with a single slap.

The reason why Ling Dong'er took a fancy to the Ice Spirit Eagle was precisely because of its inborn abilities. It was able to reach the peak of the Second Level when it was young, it only meant that its strength when it reached adulthood would be extraordinary.

However, this also made it quite difficult to deal with the Ice Spirit Eagle. Ling Dong'er had used up all her strength at the Spirit Attraction level before she was able to injure it. She was equally hurt in the process.

"All level-two demon beasts are more or less the same in strength. Take me to the Ice Spirit Eagle. I'll handle it."

Lin Chuan heaved a sigh of relief. Recently, he had used the origin bloodline of all things quite a number of times and he needed some time to recover. After all, his current strength was still limited to a certain level. If he continued to use his blood essence recklessly, it would end up reducing the purity of his bloodline , and in turn it would significantly affect his future.

"Shouldn't we wait for my injuries to heal first? The Ice Spirit Eagle is not as easy to handle as you think." Ling Dong'er looked at Lin Chuan in confusion and asked.

"I can deal with the Ice Spirit Eagle by myself. When the time comes, I'll help you subdue it, and you can just use that opportunity to bind it to your bloodline."

When Ling Dong'er expressed her doubts, Lin Chuan simply explained. She listened to him speak with confidence and she didn't know what to say. Lin Chuan's strength was the same as hers and she had struggled so hard to deal with the Ice Spirit Eagle. She couldn't help but wonder what gave Lin Chuan all that confidence. He even boasted that he'd handle the Ice Spirit Eagle all by himself.

Although she was in doubt, she was unable to say anything else, especially since she had just lost a bet with him on pill refinement. All she could do was agree. At worst, if things went south, she would come in and give him a hand.

With that in mind, Ling Dong'er took Lin Chuan to the nest of the Ice Spirit Eagle. This Ice Spirit Eagle lived on a cliff above the Herb Valley. During the time it was injured, she had already monitored how the Ice Spirit Eagle behaved.

"You have to be careful. The Ice Spirit Eagle's claws are extremely sharp. It also has the Ice Bloodline. It can easily freeze one's blood."

In front of the Ice Spirit Eagle's nest, Ling Dong'er gently reminded Lin Chuan that the Ice Spirit Eagle was far more difficult to deal with than he imagined. Moreover, it was an extremely talented demon beast, and was quite smart. If he was not careful, he could lose against it.

Lin Chuan nodded. As Ling Dong'er watched, he slowly approached a cave on the cliff.

The condition of cave was extremely cold as a result of the Ice Spirit Eagle's nature, it was covered in frost. When Lin Chuan approached the cave, he felt some chill. He had not gone deep yet, but the further he went, the more intense the coldness he felt.

Ling Dong'er had been following Lin Chuan closely the entire time. As they gradually approached the deeper parts of the cave, the eagle seemed to have sensed their auras. It let out a loud eagle cry that was ground breaking. Waves of frosty wind gushed out from the cave.

Lin Chuan narrowed his eyes, and at the same time, he saw the figure of the Ice Spirit Eagle. Following that, a rapid hailstorm appeared and moved towards Lin Chuan as the Ice Spirit Eagle flapped its wings.

The hailstones were not ordinary ice. Due to the Ice Spirit Eagle's powerful ability to control ice, every single one of those hailstones was extremely sharp, like blades. If they cut into one's flesh, the pain would definitely be unbearable.

"Break!"

At this moment, Lin Chuan's spiritual energy surged out of his body. He channelled it towards the hailstones and shattered all of them that were headed his direction. That was not all. A small centipede appeared from behind Lin Chuan, and helped Lin Chuan shield the terrifying hailstones.

When she saw the centipede king, Ling Dong'er was very surprised.

Ordinary centipedes were quite common. Many cultivators had different types of centipedes as their Indwelling demon beast. However, the Earth Core Centipede King behind Lin Chuan had a golden pattern on its body, which was very rare. Also, the Earth Core Centipede King's aura was actually on par with that of the Ice Spirit Eagle. No wonder Lin Chuan had confidently told her to let him handle it. It turned out that Lin Chuan really had a strong backup.

When the Ice Spirit Eagle saw that its hail had been shattered by another, it clearly didn't believe it. Again, it cried out, and as it flapped its wings, the surrounding air actually began to change to lighter particles.

"Be careful, it's crashing the surrounding temperature."

When Ling Dong'er saw what was happening, her expression changed slightly. Because of the Ice Bloodline, the Ice Spirit Eagle had the ability that surpassed ordinary demon beasts. Previously, Ling Dong'er had been injured by the same Ice Spirit Eagle's move. If the Ice Spirit Eagle was able to successfully control the surrounding temperature, Lin Chuan's blood would freeze and so would everything else around him.

However, what Ling Dong'er said did not affect Lin Chuan. There was no trace of even the slightest panic on his face. Instead, at that moment, a light green armor appeared on Lin Chuan's body and immediately, it wrapped around his entire body. The effect of the temperature was basically unable to cause him any harm.

"This is..."

Ling Dong'er looked at the armor wrapped around Lin Chuan's body and was instantly stupefied. This armor was not a spiritual artifact or a spiritual treasure. There were spiritual auras of a demon beast on it. What that meant was that, Lin Chuan actually had two demon beasts.

One demon beast was usually what ordinary cultivators could have. If there were too many of them, it would backfire and slow their cultivation speed. Only extremely gifted geniuses could control multiple demon beasts at the same time.

An instance was herself, she had been cultivating for a long time, but she was yet to have a single demon beast. If she had one, she wouldn't have been seriously injured by the Ice Spirit Eagle.

It was precisely because she knew that her natural ability could only permit her to control one type of Demon Beast that she had always been careful to choose. If it wasn't for the fact that she'd found this Ice Spirit Eagle that she considered perfect for her, Ling Dong'er would rather have chosen to cultivate by herself.0

However, while Ling Dong'er was still in shock, the battle between Lin Chuan and the Ice Spirit Eagle continued. Together with the Black Jade Qilin, Lin Chuan's strength was explosive. After the Ice Spirit Eagle received a few blows from Lin Chuan, it fell to the ground dismally. It no longer had its original imposing aura.

In the end, Ling Dong'er, still in shock, formed a bloodline connection with the Ice Spirit Eagle. Even at that final moment of success, Ling Dong'er was yet to recover from her shock. She looked at Lin Chuan like he had just ravaged a child because, that was just how he dealt with the Ice Spirit Eagle.

As she watched the dark green armor on Lin Chuan's body gradually disappear, the Earth Core Centipede King also crawled back into Lin Chuan's body, she swallowed really hard. She was glad that she didn't fight Lin Chuan when they met. If she had insisted on fighting him back then, her fate probably would have been the same as that of the Ice Spirit Eagle now.

Suddenly, the way Ling Dong'er looked at Lin Chuan had also changed quite a bit.
