"I'll go there to take a look, and you stay here to continue capturing the pterodactyls," Zhou Yan said.
"Yes, Lord." Bai Qi replied.
Zhou Yan unfolded his Yin Yang Twin Wings, soaring into the sky and disappearing into the horizon like two streams of peculiar light.
As Zhou Yan flew through the air, he naturally attracted the attention of other pterodactyls. Seeing this anomaly flying in their territory, they swooped towards him.
"Since you're going to be mounts for the territory, I won't be polite," Zhou Yan chuckled and proactively flew towards the pterodactyls.
He first took a look at the approximate levels and strengths of these pterodactyls.
[Monster: Pterodactyl]
[Quality: Dark Gold]
[Race: Sub-dragon]
[Level: 80]
[Special: Flight, Wind Riding]
[Description: A sub-dragon species possessing a trace of dragon bloodline power, capable of controlling wind elements to fly faster.]
"Level 80 Dark Gold quality, it's quite average. As flying mounts, they are acceptable." Zhou Yan looked at the other pterodactyls. Some were as high as level 85, but most were around level 80, nothing too extraordinary.
Bai Qi had mentioned that he had seen a pterodactyl reach level 90 with Diamond quality. That pterodactyl had only flown past and not stopped.
Zhou Yan advanced proactively, quickly reaching a pterodactyl, which roared and lunged at Zhou Yan with its jaws open.
Zhou Yan raised his fist. With his current strength, he could unleash terrifying power without using any martial skills.
With a "bang," Zhou Yan's punch landed on the pterodactyl's head, immediately dazing it. Then, Zhou Yan grabbed it, stored it using an item, and directly sent it into the territory.
Seeing their companion disappear, the other pterodactyls furiously charged at Zhou Yan. Zhou Yan smiled, "Come, come. Since you're so eager to see your companion, I'll grant your wish!"
Zhou Yan's speed far surpassed the pterodactyls. He moved quickly, punching each pterodactyl's head one by one, stunning them, and then taking them away.
After a long while, the remaining pterodactyls, seeing that Zhou Yan was not to be trifled with, stopped flying over. Zhou Yan ignored them and continued flying towards his objective.
Zhou Yan soon arrived at the location of the Lightning Spirit Dragons but found no sign of them upon surveying the surroundings.
Zhou Yan first contacted the soldiers stationed there. Once he knew their location, he flew to them and instructed them to prepare to capture the Lightning Spirit Dragons.
After arranging everything, Zhou Yan flew towards the distant mountain peaks. The distant mountains were truly majestic, each one soaring into the clouds, standing tall in the heavens.
Enveloped by mist and rain, they resembled immortal mountains. Strong winds howled, and gusts of gale constantly blew, making it impossible for small, lightweight reconnaissance drones to venture in for investigation.
Zhou Yan soon spotted two sub-dragons flying in the distance. They looked completely different from the pterodactyls. Pterodactyls had no feathers, only a pair of leathery wings, whereas the Lightning Spirit Dragons possessed a pair of feathered blue wings and were covered in blue and green feathers.
Rather than calling them sub-dragons, they resembled birds more closely. However, the Lightning Spirit Dragons were indeed very fast, considerably faster than the pterodactyls, and possessed stronger quality.
[Monster: Lightning Spirit Dragon]
[Quality: Platinum]
[Race: Sub-dragon]
[Level: 85]
[Special: Flight, Wind Control, Thunder Control, Twin Wings]
[Description: A sub-dragon species possessing a trace of dragon bloodline power, capable of controlling wind and thunder elements to attack enemies. Their twin wings are not only fast but also very sharp, and they frequently use them to attack foes.]
"Not only are their average levels higher than the pterodactyls, but they also have more attack methods, though their numbers are not great." Zhou Yan looked at the two Lightning Spirit Dragons, noticing they had also spotted him and were heading his way.
Two streams of energy attacked Zhou Yan, these being two lightning orbs that emerged from the mouths of the Lightning Spirit Dragons and swiftly flew towards him.
"Since you like lightning, let's let you experience the taste of this lightning yourselves," Zhou Yan circulated his Yin Yang energy, enveloped the two lightning orbs, and sent them flying back towards the Lightning Spirit Dragons.
The two Lightning Spirit Dragons were quite bewildered. How could their own attacks be flying back at them out of nowhere?
Two more lightning orbs appeared from their mouths in mid-air and flew towards the returning lightning.
"Boom!"
The two lightning orbs collided and exploded, transforming into two powerful waves of electricity. Zhou Yan swiftly passed through the energy surge, flew above the two Lightning Spirit Dragons, and landed on top of one of them.
The Lightning Spirit Dragon cried out. The other Lightning Spirit Dragon swooped towards Zhou Yan, attempting to attack him with its wings. But Zhou Yan raised his fist and, as the other dragon attacked, slammed his fist down.
"Bang!"
The Lightning Spirit Dragon's head spun, and it was caught in Zhou Yan's hand before being quickly stored away.
"You're no exception." Zhou Yan grabbed the Lightning Spirit Dragon beneath him by the neck, nearly suffocating it, and it rapidly plummeted downwards with Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan held its neck, spread his wings, and looked at the struggling Lightning Spirit Dragon before slapping it across the face.
The Lightning Spirit Dragon's head spun several times before it fainted.
Zhou Yan had acquired two Lightning Spirit Dragons as mounts.
Zhou Yan flew to one of the steep mountain peaks and began searching for the Lightning Spirit Dragons' nests. Soon, he found one and landed directly upon it.
It was a platform, with many scattered bones of various monsters around. However, there were no adult Lightning Spirit Dragons. Instead, he found several young ones, only about a meter in size, yet to grow their feathers.
Upon seeing Zhou Yan, they roared at him. Zhou Yan smiled, "It seems after capturing you, your parents will surely come looking for revenge, and they will be chased, chased, chased, and eventually become mounts for my soldiers."
Zhou Yan chuckled and looked at them, saying, "Go ahead and scream. No one will hear you, even if you scream your lungs out!"
Young Lightning Spirit Dragons: "(;｀o´)o(｀i_´メ)(ง'-̀'́)ง&%￥#@+"
Zhou Yan: "Hehehe!!!"
One of the young Lightning Spirit Dragons even unleashed a bolt of lightning towards Zhou Yan, but it ultimately failed to escape, almost killing itself.
Zhou Yan was somewhat speechless. Was this an act of suicide?
Fearing that the adult Lightning Spirit Dragons wouldn't know he was responsible, Zhou Yan took out a large glass container. This container was transparent and very sturdy. After placing the three young Lightning Spirit Dragons inside, he headed towards the next Lightning Spirit Dragon nest.
