It took him half a day to go past his usual hunting grounds, and using his soul sense, which could cover a kilometer, a drop of sand in the magical beast domain, he could feel the carefree bloodthirsty auras of third to peak fifth level magical beasts, and he knew that just a little more and he would meet his cherished target.
True to his intuition, as night set in, he felt boiling auras of two sixth-level beasts, one was a bit weaker than the other, fighting, but when he approached, he saw a winged panther and an Azure windscale pengling, which seemed to be defending something. The panther scratched, dark flames emanating from its dark claws, and the Pengling flapped its wings, the wind itself repelling the flames.
He just watched as these beasts were on the stronger side, and he wouldn't intervene, as the pengling looked too much like an Azure Kunpeng, which would even give the Supreme a little trouble, but just a little. The panther suddenly stopped, stepped back, gathered dark fire, and launched it at the kunpeng, who used its body to shield its eggs, but the fire was so vicious that it burned most of them. When he saw it injured, he finally moved, flicking his body, appearing right beside the panther as it was lunging at the struggling Pengling.
He swung his sword, hitting the panther on its wings, sending it flying. "Huh, not dead? ", he was shocked as the panther stood up, glaring at the intruder who ruined its meals. Since he had depleted his flames, he just watched vigilantly, but Austin also watched, as a retreating panther is better than a cornered one, and he knew his third-level cultivation was no match for a peak sixth-level beast unless he had to ruin his foundation.
After moments of staring down, the panther finally retreated, running away, as one of its wings was hanging right off. He then looked at the dying bird, which lifted its wings and looked at him, pointing its beak at a healthy, pearly white egg with no burns compared to the five remaining ones. "You want me to raise it?" he asked, knowing this beast was probably related to the kunpeng due to its green-patterned wings and mastery over wind, which was approaching the second step.
