Jiang Deng reached out for the longest, shiniest tail feather.
"No!" the eldest bird shouted immediately, "This is my most beautiful tail feather! My wife fell in love with me because of this feather. You can't pluck it out!"
Jiang Deng raised his lips in an evil arc, "If you don't let me pull this one out, I'll pluck all your tail feathers!"
The bird boss immediately changed his tone: "Pull it out! Pull it out! Pull out this one!"
Jiang Deng grabbed the tail feather without any hesitation and pulled it hard. The big bird immediately cried out in pain.
After plucking the feathers, the bird boss looked at his tail, which had lost its charm, and said pitifully, "Since I've cooperated so well, can you give me some of that fruit? I want to save it for my wife."
"OK!"
Obtaining the nine tail feathers meant that the mission of this level was completed. Jiang Deng was in a good mood and directly gave the remaining ten red spirit fruits to the bird boss.
The eldest bird held the fruit in his wings and returned to the nest happily, waiting to give his wife a surprise when she returned.
Jiang Deng and Ying Yubing did not linger any longer. Before the guardian of the secret realm could speak, they quickly walked to the place where they had placed the Stepping Cloud Deer before.
I saw that the Cloud-stepping Deer was gone... It was impossible!
The cloud-stepping deer, frozen into an ice block, had better stay here.
Jiang Deng held the heavy lightsaber in one hand and stroked the head of the Cloud Deer with the other, comforting it, "Dear, it won't hurt. It's just like cutting your nails. If you cut them this year, they will grow back next year."
“!!!”
Tayunlu looked at Jiang Deng with tears in his eyes. "That's too much! It's not you who are cutting off the feelings!"
As the sword light lit up, Tayunlu officially bid farewell to the deer horns that had accompanied him for many years.
Fortunately, Jiang Deng and Ying Yubing were not very beastly. After cutting off the antlers of the Stepping Cloud Deer, they flew on their swords to take it away from the cliff and back to the dense forest.
After taking a look at the scary Jiang Deng and Ying Yubing, the Cloud-Stepping Deer fled away like flying. Its speed was indeed very fast, worthy of being called the Cloud-Stepping Deer.
Jiang Deng and Ying Yubing sat at the entrance of the dense forest, waiting for the guardian of the secret realm to send them away.
Jiang Deng, leaning against the tree trunk, touched his chin and keenly sensed something unusual.
If they couldn't figure out what this secret realm was testing them for in the first level, then the second level would make it very clear. Both she and Ying Yubing's targets were spirit beasts known for their speed.
In other words, only the two of them working together could complete it within two hours.
If they were to complete the task on their own, chasing after each spirit beast one by one, it would probably take them twelve hours to barely finish...
"Congratulations to both of you for clearing all the levels."
Soon, the voice of the Secret Realm Guardian echoed in mid-air, "Ying Yubing has completed the task of collecting nine pairs of Cloud-Stepping Deer antlers. Your reward is a Heavenly Grade Speed-Boosting Spiritual Artifact, the Cloud-Stepping Ring, crafted from the hooves of a deceased Cloud-Stepping Deer."
"Jiang Deng completed the task of collecting nine Wind-Chasing Pheasant tail feathers. The reward was the Life Stone, a top-grade treasure needed to accelerate the hatching of spirit beast eggs."
As soon as he finished speaking, two glowing objects appeared out of thin air and landed in front of the two men.
In front of Ying Yubing was a silver-white ring.
In front of Jiang Deng was a white stone the size of a fingernail.
As soon as the two of them got it, a teleportation array appeared under their feet, with white runes flickering in the array.
Because he had comprehended the Five Elements Kung Fu, Jiang Deng found these symbols increasingly strange and stared at the runes even more closely.
This teleportation array looks the same as the one in the previous level, but there are actually subtle differences. Several runes are completely different. If you don’t understand the array, you really can’t see it.
Hmm! There is indeed a problem!
Jiang Deng memorized all these different runes in his mind.
Seeing Jiang Deng staring at the teleportation array on the ground, Ying Yubing asked curiously, "Jiang Deng, what are you looking at?"
Jiang Deng was honest and said, "Although I don't know what the runes on this formation are for the time being, it's always a good idea to write them down. You'd better write them down too."
Ying Yubing blinked and said, "Well, thank you."
Her memory was not as abnormal as Jiang Deng's. She just felt that these runes were so obscure and difficult to understand. They were even more complicated than the runes she drew when practicing magic. Even if she racked her brains, she could only remember a small part of them.
Then, the white light went out!
The teleportation array disappeared, and Jiang Deng and Ying Yubing inside it also disappeared.
As soon as she landed, Jiang Deng quickly looked around. She came to a completely unfamiliar place. Not only was the sky above her head red, but even the ground under her feet was dark red.
And Ying Yubing was no longer around...
"Ying Yubing?"
There was no response.
The rune on Jiang Deng's wrist did not light up either, which seemed to indicate that there were no one from her Taichu Sword Sect near this level.
"The third level, the wounding gate - the extinguished volcano."
The voice of the guardian of the secret realm sounded above Jiang Deng's head.
Jiang Deng widened his eyes slightly. Injury Gate? Isn't this one of the three most dangerous gates among the eight gates?
It seems... this level is dangerous!
"The Silence Volcano erupted five hundred years ago. Within the magma of the crater lives a Heavenly-ranked ferocious beast, the Flame-Swallowing Red Dragon. Obtaining the Flame-Swallowing Red Dragon's inner elixir within seven days will be considered a clearance."
"etc!"
Jiang Deng quickly spoke up, "The complete form of the Heavenly Grade Ferocious Beast is at the Return to Void Realm! You want me, a cultivator at the Core Formation Realm, to take its inner elixir? Are you kidding me?"
The Secret Realm Guardian patiently explained, "There are still juvenile Flame-Swallowing Red Dragons in the magma, and their strongest will not exceed the Core Formation Stage."
Jiang Deng finally nodded in satisfaction, "Alright then, I'll take this mission carelessly."
