Volume 2: The Demonic World Chapter 357 Yuya
"So, you don't plan to eat me?" Yujun asked cautiously.
The armor and clothes on Lin Qianxing's body changed shape, and a pair of black wings spread out behind him, which surprised Yu Jun.
"You, you, you, why didn't you tell me earlier! You are also from the Feather Tribe, you scared me!" Yu Jun breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I thought you were one of those humans who eat everything, but your wings are hidden so well, how did you fold them up?"
Lin Qianxing didn't say anything, and Yujun successfully created a new misunderstanding.
"My name is Yuyun, thank you for your help. What's your name?" Yuyun asked.
"Black Wing." Lin Qianxing said.
Hearing the voice, Yujun showed a slightly strange expression.
Among the Feathered Tribe, names like these are usually nicknames for children.
It’s a bit like how humans call each other Xiaobai, Xiaohei, Xiaohong, etc.
"It's a nice name." Yu Jun praised reluctantly.
"Can you take me to Shengfeng City? That's my destination." Lin Qianxing said.
"Why are you going to Shengfeng City?" Yu Jun shook his body, shook off the dust on his wings, and asked at the same time.
"Find something." Lin Qianxing said.
"Looking for something? My sister is the high priestess. I'll ask her to help you find it. I'm sure you'll find it." Yu Jun patted her chest enthusiastically and confidently, then said to Lin Qianxing: "Come with me. I can fly very fast."
After saying that, she quickly ran forward a few steps, then leaped forward, flapped her wings, and flew up into the air shakily.
After stabilizing her body in the air, she looked back and found that Lin Qianxing was following her.
The wings behind Lin Qianxing were fully spread out, and invisible streams of air pushed his body forward.
This is the power contained in the wind-attracting magic iron that he once used to refine his armor.
Now the armor on his body has turned into clothes, but its original functions still exist.
Yujun led Lin Qianxing to fly quickly in the sky. She seemed to have the power to control the wind, but she was not so skilled.
Soon, a huge city built on the cliffs appeared before their eyes.
Below this city is the abyss and the sea, hanging high in the clouds. The buildings everywhere are built as high as possible, basically a pillar with a house on top.
From time to time, one can see Feathered People with wings on their backs flying around in the city. Their wings are of different colors, and black wings like Lin Qianxing's are not uncommon.
The tallest building seemed like a wonder, reaching straight into the sky, more than ten thousand feet high. It was the Tianyu Temple in Shengfeng City.
The legendary Tianyu God is enshrined there.
Every thousand years, the Feather Clan living in Holy Wind City would hold a grand sacrifice and select outstanding young men to compete for the Holy Feather.
The winner will become the honorable [Sky Feathered One] and lead the Feathered people to prosperity.
After Yu Jun brought Lin Qianxing into the city, they came to a series of magnificent buildings.
Although the building is magnificent, there is no one inside and it looks old and dilapidated.
"This is my home. My father was the previous [Sky Feather]. However, he was defeated in the war with the Scale Clan and died at their hands. But before he died, he also killed the patriarch of the Scale Clan. He is a hero of the Feather Clan..." Yu Jun introduced to Lin Qianxing.
Lin Qianxing knew everything without Yujun's introduction.
Compared with the entire Lingyuantian, the Feather Clan in Shengfeng City is just a small tribe.
Their civilization is not yet fully developed, and a few humans even regard them as food. Moreover, they also have the scale tribe who are like natural enemies, so their living environment is not as good as imagined.
The entire Holy Wind City depends on the existence of [Sky Feather].
That was a fourth-level Taoist who mastered the power of rules.
With the existence of [Sky Feather], their lives will be much better and they no longer have to worry about natural enemies.
But since the death of the previous [Sky Feather], they haven't seen a new [Sky Feather] for hundreds of years.
As for Yuyun’s age not matching?
She was an egg, and had been hatched less than a dozen years ago.
This is one of the special features of the Feather Clan.
They hatch from eggs.
An egg can be preserved for thousands of years without any problems.
If the environment is not suitable, they can choose not to hatch the next generation and wait until the environment is suitable before hatching their offspring.
And it would be easier for them to just take an egg with them than to take a cub with them.
The eggs of the Feather Tribe are extremely strong, and even ordinary steel may not be able to match their hardness.
Only during the incubation process will it gradually decompose and turn into nutrients for the newborns, and finally break apart completely.
After walking around for a few times, Yujun finally arrived at where she lived.
It's not so dilapidated here, but rather looks very clean and tidy.
Yujun led Lin Qianxing to a place that looked like a living room, took out some food from a tall cabinet, and placed it in front of Lin Qianxing.
"My sister has to go to the temple during the day and won't be back until night. Tell me what you are looking for. Maybe I can help you find it," said Yujun.
Lin Qianxing stared at the gray ball of food in a daze, as if wondering about its composition.
"This is made from ground mealworms, called 'grey balls', and it's delicious!" Yujun said.
Lin Qianxing picked it up and took a light sip.
Surprisingly, it was delicious.
It's a little sweet, with a soft and sticky texture, like eating dough with sugar added.
"What are you looking for?" Yujun asked.
"Maybe I can find it myself?" Lin Qianxing said.
"You are a stranger in this place, what if you are eaten by those bad guys in the city?" Yujun said, "Don't be fooled by the fact that Shengfeng City seems to be peaceful on the surface. In fact, there are some bad guys who eat their own people in secret. They don't obey the clan rules, and I can't do anything about them."
"Besides, my sister taught me that kindness must be repaid and hatred must be avenged. You helped me, so I must help you too."
Lin Qianxing nodded and said, "I want to find a feather, can you help me find it?"
"Feathers? What kind of feathers?" Yujun asked.
"A golden feather." Lin Qianxing said.
Yujun fell into deep thought, and suddenly a corresponding thing came to her mind. She widened her eyes and asked, "You want the Holy Feather?"
"No, no, the Holy Feather belongs to my sister, how can I give it to you?" Without waiting for Lin Qianxing to answer, Yu Jun shook her head violently and said, "Besides, you don't even have the qualifications to participate in the sacrifice, so you can't get the Holy Feather."
"Your sister has it." Lin Qianxing said.
"Sister's qualifications?" Yujun blinked and became a little angry and said, "You actually want my sister's qualifications? I thought you were a nice person just now! Eat and leave, I don't welcome you."
Lin Qianxing remained silent and just quietly ate the gray ball.
Just after eating a few bites, the door opened and a beautiful woman with white wings on her back and long golden hair walked in. She looked like an enlarged version of Yuyun, only more mature.
He first glanced at Lin Qianxing, frowned, and then said to Yujun: "How dare you run so far? If I hadn't heard the Tianyu Guards tell me that you ran out of the city, I wouldn't have known."
"Sister, I have become a Wind Chaser." Yujun said.
Yuya was shocked and asked, "Is it true?"
"Look!"
Yujun ran two steps and flapped her wings. A stream of air flew out from under her wings, lifting her up and making a circle in the room, then returned to Yuya.
"No wonder the Tianyu Guards said they couldn't catch up with you." Yu Ya was a little happy, but then she warned: "Even if you become a [Wind Chaser], you can't run around, especially you can't leave Shengfeng City. Don't you know how dangerous it is outside?"
"I understand." Yujun nodded.
After finishing most of the household affairs, Yu Ya looked at Lin Qianxing and said, "By the way, who is this?"
"I met him outside. He helped me untie the vines, but he is not a good person. He wants your place in the sacrifice. I will drive him away after he finishes eating the ash ball." Yujun said.
Yu Ya glanced at Lin Qianxing, then at her sister, and had no idea what was going on.
Lin Qianxing had just finished his last bite. He stood up, looked at Yu Ya and said, "I am the descendant of the Sky Feathered One. My name is Black Wing. I am here to help you obtain the Holy Feather."
"Why?" Yuya frowned.
"Three hundred years ago." Lin Qianxing said.
"You are one of my father's old subordinates?" Yu Ya suddenly realized, but then she doubted and said, "All those who followed my father have left now. No one is willing to help me. Why do you want to help me?"
"Some people like to stand on the side of the strong, but I am different. I like to stand on the side of the weak, so that after winning, I will get more rewards." Lin Qianxing said.
"Are you so confident that I will become the new [Sky Feather]?" Yuya asked.
"Even if I fail, there will be no loss for me, right? And I believe that the descendants of Tianyu must also have his excellent bloodline." Lin Qianxing said.
"You're right." Yu Ya nodded, and then said: "Although I'm down and out now, not everyone wants me. You need to show your value."
"This is not difficult." Lin Qianxing said confidently: "I have made some achievements in forging skills."
As he spoke, Lin Qianxing picked up the wooden tableware that held the food on the table. With a thought, a blue forging hammer appeared in his right hand, and then Lin Qianxing gently knocked the tableware with it.
In an instant, its countless particles reorganized and turned into a metal dagger, which even flashed a faint light.
Lin Qianxing pointed the blade at himself and passed it to Yu Ya.
The moment Yu Ya saw Lin Qianxing casually turn the dinner plate into a dagger, her face was filled with shock. In the Yu Clan, there were not many people who mastered the skills of smelting and forging, which were the skills that the human race was good at.
She carefully stroked the dagger in her hand, touching it with her mind.
Faintly, she even felt the spiritual feedback from it.
This is actually a weapon that contains spiritual energy.
"You are excellent." Yu Ya nodded, then reached out and plucked a feather from her wing and handed it to Lin Qianxing, saying: "I, the descendant of the Sky Feather, Yu Ya, accept your loyalty."
"Black Wing." Lin Qianxing took the feather with both hands and said.
