Chapter 748: Chapter 312: Just as Expected!

"Chirp!"

Amid the red light, a cry that echoed through the sky suddenly erupted; for a moment, the mountains and forests shook. The giant trees on the peak were shaken down one by one, and the trees and vines in the valley were uprooted. In the air, it seemed like countless wronged souls were wailing.

Xu Ran heard this cry, and a chilling aura instantly surrounded him, sweeping over his entire body with a coldness.

Just as it appeared for an instant and hadn’t truly invaded his body, the Innate Qi surged from within, wrapping his body in protection.

"This sound, so familiar..."

Xu Ran curiously gazed at the red silhouette in the sky, finding the sound incredibly familiar.

What he was familiar with wasn’t the cry itself, but the aura carried within the cry.

That aura was extremely ancient, having traversed countless ages, bearing a sense of desolation and sorrow. Just this single cry alone made Xu Ran’s thoughts drift beyond the valley, as though he had arrived at a desolate battlefield.

Simultaneously, this cry immediately excited the Peregrine Falcon, whose wings flapped incessantly, disordered feathers flying in the air.

"Chirp!"

"Chirp!"

"Chirp!"

Anxious cries from the Peregrine Falcon echoed beside Xu Ran.

"That sound belonged to a true Kunpeng’s cry!"

The Peregrine Falcon couldn’t speak, so could only shout anxiously in its heart.

Back then, after absorbing the [Blood Kunpeng Grass], it had entered the deepest memories of the bloodline, which was a barren world. The heavens shattered and the Great Dao’s aura spread everywhere, with limbs and torsos scattered on the ground, and rivers of blood flowing.

Blood was streaming from the Kunpeng, its body having lost most of its feathers, looking extremely like a dying vulture.

When the Peregrine Falcon entered the deepest part of that bloodline memory, it had heard the Kunpeng’s cry, so the impression was extremely vivid. That’s why it immediately recognized it at first sight.

Xu Ran stood still, feeling the gusts of wind every now and then, turning to the anxious Peregrine Falcon beside him, but unable to decipher its intention, showing a slight puzzlement on his face.

At this moment, the Peregrine Falcon was too anxious, unable to express itself accurately even if it tried.

"Calm down, Little White!"

Xu Ran’s voice, carrying a trace of Innate Qi, slowly entered the Peregrine Falcon’s body, a warm stream flowing through, finally calming the Peregrine Falcon down.

Then, the Peregrine Falcon used the Spiritual Qi within its body to manifest a huge raptor silhouette in the air, which looked identical to the Kunpeng Illusion that just appeared behind it.

Once the illusion appeared, its wings pointed towards the red silhouette high in the sky, crying out incessantly.

"Are you saying the sound that just appeared belongs to the Kunpeng?"

Upon hearing Xu Ran’s words, the Peregrine Falcon nodded continuously, the look of fear on its face not dissipating.

As far as the Peregrine Falcon was concerned, the Kunpeng aura that just appeared was already enough to astonish it. Now, hearing the Kunpeng’s cry, and seemingly seeing a pair of blood-red wings in that red light just now, it couldn’t help but wonder if a real Kunpeng had been revived.

That aura, that cry, was too real.

If a Kunpeng had truly been revived, it might actually be good news for it, given that it carried the Kunpeng Bloodline and might gain recognition and more benefits.

However, now, the valley didn’t only contain it, but also Xu Ran.

What would a freshly revived Demon Beast think upon seeing a human here first?

Of course, that would be to devour him.

The revived Kunpeng, even if Xu Ran possessed strong cultivation, was from Ancient Times, likely just a single feather would send them straight to Hell.

The anxious Peregrine Falcon paced incessantly, swaying back and forth before Xu Ran, extremely anxious.

Perceiving the Peregrine Falcon’s intent, Xu Ran stood still, bowed his head in contemplation for a moment, then shook his head.

"Rest assured, it’s impossible for a Kunpeng to be revived!"

Xu Ran’s tone was extremely firm, now hundred percent certain about this matter.

"In that aura, there wasn’t only the Kunpeng Aura but also the Innate Qi and the White Tiger’s aura. If it’s truly a revived Kunpeng, how could it coexist with two equally powerful auras?"

"The cry just now was the noise made by the red bone..."

Speaking up to this point, the Peregrine Falcon changed its phrasing.

"To be precise, it was a red person..."

After speaking, it gazed along the continually blossoming light.

"Whoosh!"

A powerful wind emerged from that red light, suddenly howling, stirring the air in the valley into a whirlwind that twisted constantly, engulfing all things, like a giant washing machine.

Numerous reddened trees danced in the sky, as if welcoming new life.

Xu Ran stood firmly, protecting the Peregrine Falcon beside him, his eyes glowed with golden light, his gaze never leaving the red light.

"Roar!"

When the red vortex reached its peak, a roar that resonated across the heavens suddenly emerged, carrying immense pressure, surging towards Xu Ran and the Peregrine Falcon.

The unprepared Peregrine Falcon, hearing this enormous roar, trembled constantly, feathers falling off continuously, pupils dilated, again recalling the previous scene.
