Once they remembered that there was a convoy protecting them, the teachers and students immediately calmed down. They started to discuss how strong this exotic beast was, and how long it would take the army to drive it away, or even slay it.
Alas, the ignorant fools in the transportation airplanes had no idea that the convoy was helpless against the huge silvery bird!
It detonated every missile that was pursuing it in one go, revealing a look of disdain in its eyes. Its figure turned into a streak of silvery light and gave chase to the airplanes ahead.
Realizing the urgency of the situation, the fighter planes could only launch another wave of tracking missiles. Even if they couldn’t hurt the exotic beast, the missiles could serve to deter it briefly.
At the same time, the windows at the back of the airplanes opened, revealing rows of autocannons, firing at the flying beast.
Zhang Che heard the concentrated sounds of cannon fire outside. He said, “It looks like the exotic beast we encountered wasn’t weak. It hadn’t been eliminated yet.”
He didn’t show any signs of fear on his face.
The youths with the highest potential in Qian Wei City were sitting in these airplanes. Naturally the army would have a complete system of safety measures in place. It was impossible for a random exotic beast to be a huge threat to the entire convoy.
“Don’t worry. My dad is here!” Huang Tielan said nonchalantly. She said it in such a matter-of-fact manner, as if there was nothing to fear as long as her daddy was around.
On the other hand, Zhang Che nodded in agreement. The moment he saw Huang Juyun earlier, he could vaguely sense that his spiritual strength wasn’t weak at all. Huang Juyun’s gaze on him was as sharp as a sword.
In the neighboring control cabin, Huang Juyun stood up and said indifferently, “Lower the flight speed and open a gap in the safety door.”
“Ah? Yes, General!” The crew weren’t shocked, but happy when they heard Huang Juyun. They immediately sprang into action, decelerating the airplane. When the airplane was slowed to a very low speed, a crew member operated the mechanism to the safety door, opening a tiny gap.
With the airplane’s sudden deceleration, the huge silvery bird behind immediately closed the gap between them. It let out a clear cry, and treated this particular airplane as its first target.
“Ah, the exotic beast has caught up!”
In the passenger cabin, some students saw a huge silvery beast swooping at them from the windows, scaring them into screaming out loud!
If it wasn’t for the fact that they had already put on their seatbelts, the passenger cabin definitely would have fallen into chaos.
Even so, dozens of students and teachers were so frightened that their faces were drained of blood, each of them screaming out loud.
Zhang Che, who was sitting at the front of the airplane, also saw the huge silvery bird from the side windows. He wondered to himself, -Why does it seem like the airplane has slowed down a lot?-
In the next moment, a streak of red light shot out from the airplane and turned into a beast made of scarlet flames, like the phoenix of legends, flying towards the silvery beast.
Zhang Che immediately reacted to this, and turned to Huang Tielan, asking, “Is that your father’s subdued beast?”
Huang Tielan nodded proudly, “That’s right. That is my father’s strongest subdued beast, at seven-star gold-quality. Taking care of that exotic beast outside is only a small task!”
-Seven-star gold-quality!- Zhang Che was shocked. It was no wonder Miss Tienan was so confident.
A seven-star gold-quality beast! Even among high-tier beasts, it was considered top-tier! Many high-tier beastmasters might not even own such a powerful subdued beast in their life!
To make a simple comparison in battle strength, even Zhang Che’s Scarlet Flame Drake wouldn’t be able to put up the slightest resistance against a beast of such caliber. It could only accept its fate of getting crushed.
“Your dad is amazing!” Zhang Che exclaimed wholeheartedly.
“Heh heh, isn’t that right?” Huang Tielan held her head up proudly, looking out the window.
Zhang Che also shifted his gaze outside the window. A battle of such caliber was rarely seen. Being able to witness the battle of such high-tier beasts would broaden his horizons.
While the two were talking, the phoenix that flew out of the airplane had confronted the huge silvery bird.
Whoo! A column of fire shot out, enveloping the sky. This was the phoenix’s greeting.
Naturally, the huge silvery bird wouldn’t dare to take it head on. A layer of green light flashed on its body. Its speed doubled instantly, easily dodging the phoenix’s attack. After that, it opened its mouth, and a few crescent moon-shaped silvery blades of light flew towards the phoenix.
It wasn’t polite to only be on the receiving end. You’re not the only one with an elemental attack!
Zhang Che was dazzled by the sight. The huge silvery bird actually possessed wind element and light element… no, that silvery blade of slight was a metal elemental attack!
A double-elemental exotic beast!
This was the first time Zhang Che had seen such a thing!
It went without saying that some of the students and teachers also witnessed this. They couldn’t help but worry about their future, afraid that the army’s big shots weren’t able to deal with the huge silvery bird. “Ah, this exotic beast is so strong. Can the phoenix handle it?”
“Fire restrains metal! But who knows what level and quality that huge silvery bird is? Though, it shouldn’t be a match for it as long as there isn’t too huge of a difference between them.”
Those who were knowledgeable were much calmer. Although the exotic beast was a dual elemental beast, only its offensive method contained the metal element. Its wind element only supported its flight.
As expected, Huang Juyun’s phoenix was not afraid of the flying beast’s silvery blades of light at all. It spat out a scorching column of flames, directly negating the revolving blades.
Seeing its attack fail, the huge silvery bird left out an unwilling crisp cry, and actually turned immediately, diving towards the forest below. Its figure was like lightning, disappearing from everyone’s sights in a few breaths’ time.
“Eh? This beast is decisive!” Huang Juyun exclaimed. He recalled the phoenix with a wave of his hand, then ordered the crew to shut the safety door and accelerate, catching up to the rest of the convoy.
This encounter actually ended on such a dull note. It really left the spectators feeling dissatisfied.
Even so, Huang Juyun was helpless about it. The huge silvery bird was a wind elemental beast. Its speed was top-notch. Even if his phoenix was stronger than it, the phoenix couldn’t catch up to it if the silvery bird was unwilling to engage in battle.
Moreover, his objective on his trip was partly to ensure the others’ safety. He had already fulfilled his duty by driving the attacking beast away. Whether or not he could kill the huge silvery bird wasn’t something he was concerned with.
“What a pity. If there was another swift subdued beast by the side restraining it, the huge silvery bird definitely wouldn’t get away!” Zhang Che sighed. This fruitless battle truly left one desiring more.
After lamenting, he couldn’t help but wonder, -I wonder when will I become a high-tier beastmaster and have such powerful subdued beasts?-
However, he was immediately filled with confidence. With the rainbow crystal, did he have to worry about not having powerful beasts?
