Chapter 1161 - Beast Horde Begins
The moment Liu Wuxie landed on the Astral Moon Bird's back, he clamped his legs around its body and gripped its feathers, refusing to let go no matter how violently it bucked and twisted.
The bird's long beak couldn't reach its own back, so it thrashed and jerked, trying to throw him off. It beat its wings hard, soaring into the sky and rolling through the air in wild, frantic maneuvers.
In the end, it dove straight down from the clouds.
Time dragged on as Liu Wuxie held fast. The bird's fury mounted until it decided that it would rather die than submit to a human. That stubbornness was in its nature.
"Damn it!" Liu Wuxie growled. He hadn't expected that the Astral Moon Bird was this unyielding.
If they hit the bottom of a cliff, they would die. Even Transcendent Realm cultivators couldn't fly, let alone someone at the Heaven Profound Realm. Even if he survived the fall, he would be trapped forever.
Looking at the situation, taming the bird by ordinary means was hopeless. He tried communicating through divine sense and even beast language, but each attempt was met with outright rejection.
Forcing it would only drive it to choose mutual destruction.
If he couldn't tame a lesser astral beast, how could he possibly subdue the Astral Moon Bird's king to escape Anlu Star?
The teleportation array was inside the castle, inaccessible without Yu Wentai's order. With Yu Wentai's high Origin Conversion Realm strength, Liu Wuxie stood no chance against him. In fact, even the bird king fell short against him. Otherwise, the camp could have survived the yearly beast horde with only minor losses of some stones and slaves.
"Ghost Eye—Soul Capture Art!" Liu Wuxie made his choice. The risk was high; he had just strengthened the Ghost Eye, so reckless use could injure his soul sea.
If he could perform the Conversion Art, taming the bird would be effortless.
