NFBE Chapter 216 Black Peacock Feathers
Chapter 216 Black Peacock Feathers
After Mu Yunyun finished speaking, the giant snake couldn't insist any longer; it wasn't impossible for the four of them to go together.
The white creature transformed into a giant snow owl, and the serpent naturally transformed into a large serpent tail, encircling the little female's slender waist and firmly holding her in its embrace.
Haobai carried the three of them and flew towards the beastmen who were working in the tribe.
Jade Fox was at the foot of the mountain, leading the tribe's children in class. Jin Yan, Ting Yu, and Hua Fei were also in a corner of the tribe, teaching the tribespeople how to hoe the land.
Mu Yunyun gave a brief greeting to the group, and the beastmen were about to drop what they were doing and go with her, but she stopped them.
We're just looking for some ingredients; there's no need to bring all the beastmen along.
"Yunyun, you must come back soon!"
...
"Mother, come back soon, we'll miss you."
"Okay, okay, Mother will definitely come back soon."
With the beastman and his cubs filled with reluctance, the four flew towards the direction of the Wisdom Forest.
...
In the southeastern part of the Beast World continent, in the fantastical rainforest, live two major tribes.
To the east of the fantastical rainforest lies the Fiery Peacock Tribe; to the south of the rainforest, the Giant Stone Elephant Tribe.
The fantastical rainforest is shrouded in mist all year round. In the territory where the Fiery Peacock Tribe is located, there grows a thousand-year-old banyan tree.
The ancient banyan tree, towering and immense, with tens of thousands of lateral roots, forms an emerald curtain, providing an excellent habitat for the Peacock Tribe.
Around the thousand-year-old banyan tree, ten huge peacock trees stand tall, their canopies layered and lush.
Because it is a rainforest, the air is extremely humid, and countless fluorescent mosses grow on every tree. By mid-summer, the rainy season will arrive.
When the fluorescent moss is full of water, at night, when the moonlight shines on it, the entire village will turn into a flowing sea of stars, which is really beautiful!
The Flaming Peacock has more than 200 peacocks, but only about 10 are female.
The fire peacocks are ranked according to their feather color and innate talent.
Crimson gold is the most noble, followed by snow white, then indigo, and black is unique but often despised by the tribe.
The Flaming Peacock Clan has only had one adult Black Peacock born, which looks like a black peacock.
The tribe's ten female peacocks all live in the middle of the ancient banyan tree, while the other tribespeople also roost in the peacock trees around the banyan tree.
Only this black peacock, Mo Ling, lives alone at the border of the poisonous fog swamp and the fantasy rainforest.
Their dwellings were also nests built from rough crocodile skin and brown logs.
Mo Ling's parents are unknown. He has never known who his father and mother were or where they were since birth, and no one in the Peacock Clan has mentioned this matter.
The peacocks are all handsome, with the male peacocks being particularly beautiful.
Mo Ling is 20 meters tall, in his early twenties, with a handsome face, well-defined features, and bronze skin. He possesses a mid-level fourth-tier talent and has awakened a wind-type ability.
At this moment, he was hurrying towards the peacock tree in the middle, holding a purple-gold core in his left hand and his own black feather in his right.
The Purple-Gold Crystal Core is the crystal core of the fourth-tier beast, the Purple-Gold Mist Beast. Many Peacock Clan members who have awakened the power of fire can use this crystal core to unleash the power of fire.
"Mo Ling, why are you here again? Didn't the Chixiao Clan Chief say that you are strictly forbidden from coming here?"
"Commander Cangwu, I recently acquired the crystal core of a fourth-tier beast, the Purple-Gold Mist Beast. I thought the tribe might find it useful, so I brought it with me."
Cangwu is the commander of the aerial cavalry, a fourth-tier beginner-level wind-type talent, a male peacock with blue feathers, and a capable general of the Chixiao clan chief.
"A fourth-order purple-gold crystal core!"
A fourth-tier purple-gold crystal core is an extremely rare crystal core, the kind that a beastman like him, who hasn't awakened his fire-type talent, most desires.
Logically speaking, Mo Ling has a mid-tier fourth-order talent and should receive preferential treatment in the tribe, and should even be given priority in finding a partner.
But because he had black feathers, he was scorned by all the tribesmen, except for another male peacock with brown feathers.
"Mo Ling, Mo Ling, come here!"
Mo Ling turned his head, and the one who called him was his only friend, Brown Feather, a male peacock with brown feathers and a third-tier intermediate talent.
While Cangwu was still debating whether to let him in to meet the Chixiao Clan Chief, Mo Ling walked towards He Yu.
"Brown Feather, what are you doing here? What happened!"
"Mo Ling, why are you being silly again? Why did you bring your feathers again, and with that purple-gold crystal core!"
"Are you stupid! Chief Chixiao, he... he will never allow any female to accept your feathers!"
"Why, just because I am a peacock with black feathers?"
Upon hearing He Yu's words, Mo Ling clenched his fist instantly, and the veins on his fist suddenly bulged.
"Mo Ling, keep your voice down, keep your voice down, go back quickly and don't come back again."
Upon seeing Mo Ling's appearance, He Yu instantly tensed up, his two-meter-tall frame shrinking in size.
When Cangwu saw the two about to leave, he was at a loss for what to do. He quickly gave a few instructions to the male orc beside him and ran back to the Peacock Forest.
Just then, the Chixiao clan chief and the shaman Jiang Yunsui were discussing how his son, Jinque, should find a partner.
Chief Chixiao is a male orc with an effeminate appearance, a fourth-tier purple advanced talent, and an awakened fire-type talent.
He was dressed in a reddish-gold animal skin coat, which made him look elegant and noble, with an extraordinary temperament.
Jiang Yunsui, the shaman, is a female peacock with blue feathers and the only shaman in the Fire Peacock tribe.
He possessed an antidote that could dispel the poisonous fog and miasma of the fantasy rainforest, and two silver, serpentine vines were wrapped around his neck.
Jin Que is the son of the Chi Xiao clan chief. He is 19 years old and has a third-tier green high-level wind talent. His inability to awaken his fire talent has always been a source of worry for him.
As the two were discussing, Cangwu hurriedly stepped forward, leaned close to the clan leader's ear, and whispered something.
"Really? Are you sure?"
Cangwu nodded emphatically, and the Chixiao clan chief suddenly stood up, raised his hand to bid farewell to Jiang Yunsui.
They hurried along, quickly reaching the outermost edge of the tribe.
Mo Ling followed He Yu, head down, looking dejected as she wanted to go back.
"Nephew Mo Ling, wait! Wait!"
Chief Chixiao frowned, his lips curled up, he composed himself, forced a smile, and stopped him.
"I heard you captured the crystal core of a fourth-tier beast, the Purple-Gold Mist Beast. Let me see it!"
Mo Ling was taken aback. He Yu frowned, silently lowered his hand, and retreated to the back.
"Yes, yes, Chieftain, please tell me, am I now eligible to participate in the mating ceremony?"
Mo Ling was very excited and ran over quickly. For many years, he had rarely been able to see the clan leader, as he was often turned away with various excuses.
"Oh my goodness, let me see this quickly, it's incredible, it's incredible!"
The Crimson Cloud Clan Chief ignored the feathers that were handed to him along with the golden feathers and took the glittering purple-gold crystal core from the other hand.
"Good, good, it really is the crystal core of the purple-gold golden beast. It's been so many years since I've seen one."
"Chief, may I participate?"
Mo Ling looked on with anticipation. What difference was there between a male beastman who wasn't qualified to form a mate and a wandering beastman?
"Well, why don't you go back first? I'll discuss this with the female from the Void Realm!"
Without waiting for Mo Ling to speak, he quickly turned around and left.
