The Steel-winged Bird was so cautious because Blood Phantom’s aura had frightened it earlier.
Even now, despite its intense craving, the Steel-winged Bird was exercising extreme restraint.
It wasn’t sure if Blood Phantom, who had followed Ye Ling into the cave earlier, was still inside.
If Blood Phantom was still in the cave, diving down now would be a suicidal move.
Before confirming its safety, the Steel-winged Bird decided to observe first.
One had to admit, the Steel-winged Bird had remarkable patience.
Even when faced with the food it desired, it could still hold back.
Watching Ye Ling enter the cave again, a glimmer of desire flashed in the Steel-winged Bird’s crimson eyes.
“Squawk!!”
Letting out a loud cry, the Steel-winged Bird continued to circle in the sky.
After a while, Ye Ling finally emerged from the cave.
This time, Ye Ling had already returned Blood Phantom to the Spiritual Pet Seal.
He glanced up at the Steel-winged Bird still circling above.
A faint smile appeared on Ye Ling’s lips.
This time, he was determined to deal with this bird, or else he wouldn’t be able to sleep or eat in peace.
Ye Ling began to descend the mountain, while the Steel-winged Bird circled in the sky, keeping an eye on the situation below.
As Ye Ling moved, the Steel-winged Bird also started to fly in the direction of the mountain’s base.
However, it still seemed somewhat apprehensive, maintaining a safe distance.
“What a cautious feathered beast,” Ye Ling muttered under his breath, watching the Steel-winged Bird that remained unmoved.
But patience was necessary for this kind of thing, and Ye Ling wasn’t in a hurry.
He could use this time to survey the surroundings.
The Steel-winged Bird in the sky seemed to be completely ignored by Ye Ling.
After about half an hour, Ye Ling finally reached the base of the mountain.
At the foot of the mountain was a dense forest.
A faint mist lingered, filling the entire forest.
The mist wasn’t thick at the moment, as the sun was shining brightly, making it quite thin.
As the sky darkened, the entire forest would be shrouded in mist.
At night, visibility would drop to less than ten meters.
The demons living in this forest would become more active at night.
In this forest, the demons had a significant advantage.
They could detect the direction of their prey through their sense of smell, unaffected by the mist.
During the day, the demons in this forest were relatively quiet and rarely appeared.
After descending the mountain and walking for a while, Ye Ling hardly encountered any demons.
The Steel-winged Bird in the sky also finally realized that Blood Phantom wasn’t with Ye Ling.
Its courage grew a bit, and it began to lower its flight altitude.
Occasionally, it perched on the top of a tall tree, observing Ye Ling.
After a while, the last bit of patience in the Steel-winged Bird’s heart was finally worn out.
Saliva dripped from its sharp beak.
“Squawk!!”
With a loud cry, the Steel-winged Bird dived from the treetop at an incredible speed.
Its wings folded tightly together, then quickly spread out.
As its steel wings spread, feathers that gleamed like metal shot out at high speed.
Their target was Ye Ling’s back.
The Steel-winged Bird was indeed cunning, testing the waters before launching a full attack.
Prepared, Ye Ling swiftly turned around and shouted.
“Spiritual Power Shield!”
A burst of blue light erupted from his hands.
An oval-shaped blue shield, as tall as a person, suddenly appeared in front of Ye Ling.
“Clang! Clang! Clang!!”
The metal-like feathers clashed against the Spiritual Power Shield.
Fortunately, despite the Steel-winged Bird’s strength, its feathers couldn’t penetrate Ye Ling’s shield.
However, the Steel-winged Bird didn’t show any signs of stopping its dive.
Its sharp beak aimed straight at the Spiritual Power Shield.
Though called the Steel-winged Bird, its wings weren’t the hardest part of its body.
Its sharp beak was the hardest.
Ye Ling’s current First Level Spiritual Power Shield couldn’t withstand such an impact.
But Ye Ling had already devised a plan to deal with the Steel-winged Bird.
He quickly freed his right hand and whispered.
“Spiritual Power Chains!”
Ripples suddenly appeared between Ye Ling and the Steel-winged Bird.
“Snap!”
“Snap!”
“Snap!”
Blue chains made entirely of spiritual power emerged from the ripples.
Under Ye Ling’s control, the chains locked onto the Steel-winged Bird.
The chains, moving with lightning speed, wrapped around the Steel-winged Bird’s steel-like wings.
