Desolate Era: Hatching a Phoenix at the Beginning

Chapter 38: Discussing The Beast Tide

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The Plague Bird group was at the river outside the tribe, listening to the screams coming from inside. From time to time, some would look inside, eyes filled with doubt.

With their intelligence, it was not enough for them to know what was going on inside. However, for some reason, they were excited to hear the scream.

Meanwhile, Ye Chen, who was in the tribe, was already a little weak. If he had not synchronized with the Flame Immunity of the Immortal Phoenix, he would probably be in a worse state than before.

It was really about the Immortal Phoenix and the Kun Peng. These two Divine Beasts knew their limits too well. Ever since they advanced, Ye Chen no longer treated them as mutated beasts.

Instead, he treated them as a friend, a companion and his child. Because they had the same emotions as humans, they would blush and fly into a rage when they encountered awkward situations.

Just like now. Although he was in pain, he was very happy. This made him no longer feel lonely in this savage world.

“I say, the two of you are too heavy-handed.” Ye Chen pretended to be half-dead as he lay on the ground and looked at the sky. This was the first time he felt that the sky in the wilderness was quite beautiful.

“Master, stop pretending.” Ye Chen’s disguise was mercilessly exposed by the Divine Phoenix. Kun Peng nodded in agreement.

Ye Chen did not blush. He stood up and sized up the two beasts in front of him.

The Kun Peng was a Mutated Beast Egg that he had discovered by accident when he was establishing his tribe. He did not know how long it had been hibernating there but it definitely had a deep foundation. In addition to its characteristics, if it wanted to level up, it only needed to devour. This was easy to do as the wilderness did not lack beasts.

As his first mutated beast, the Divine Phoenix had eaten the fruits of the tribe and had a strong foundation. However, Ye Chen still did not know how the Divine Phoenix could increase its strength. This made Ye Chen a little worried.

Could it be that in the near future, compared to the Kun Peng, the Immortal Phoenix’s strength would fall behind by quite a bit…

Ye Chen laughed self-deprecatingly. He felt that he had thought too much. The reason why every Divine Beast was called a Divine Beast was because the mutated beast had reached the pinnacle in one or more domains.

At this thought, Ye Chen waved his hand and said, “The two of you can go out and look for food.”

If he were to interfere with their advancement, he would be making things difficult for himself. If he interfered, it would be counterproductive. He might as well let them make their own way.

The only thing Ye Chen could do was to help as much as he could from the side as much as possible, instead of spending too much time on helping.

“Then we’ll go out and play.”

“Master, we’re leaving.”

The Immortal Phoenix and Kun Peng were in high spirits upon hearing Ye Chen’s words.

Previously, because the Kun Peng had yet to advance and could not speak human language, Ye Chen did not let the two of them go out together. Most of the time, the Immortal Phoenix went out by itself.

Now that it had advanced, it would not be in any danger around the tribe. He might as well let them go out.

After so many days, there was still no Divine Beast in the Mutated Beast Egg that he obtained in the Mystic Realm. They were all low-level existences. According to his past experience, Ye Chen felt that a Divine Beast was about to appear any time now.

Currently, he did not lack food or resources. Hence, Ye Chen planned to focus on the third Divine Beast.

He was looking forward to this egg. After all, it was something that existed from countless years ago. It had always been absorbing the energy of Heaven and Earth at the altar. He really didn’t know just how strong it would be when a Divine Beast appeared.

...

In a place not far from the tribe, the people who wanted to stir up the beast tide were discussing fervently.

“Where is Ye Chen’s tribe? The first problem has been solved.”

“Everything is difficult in the beginning. What happens next is easy to handle. How do we lure the beast tide to Ye Chen’s Tribe?”

“Baldy, when you saw Ye Chen, was there a wild beast lair there?”

This baldy, who was also a member of the Ye Chen Tribe destruction, had a few rays of light flash across his eyes.

When the others saw this, they didn’t disturb him and just waited quietly. Not long after, the baldy returned to his senses and spoke.

“I think there are a few places but there’s something I feel weird about.”

“What is it? Tell us about it.” Upon hearing this, the rest of the people immediately perked up.

“It’s just that the location of Ye Chen’s tribe seems a little strange. There are mountains on three sides of his place and it’s kind of a bare cliff. Other than birds, there’s almost nothing that can go up and down there.”

“The only exit. There’s a river up ahead with a bird’s nest. According to my observations, it’s the Plague Bird Nest.”

“I believe that after staying in the wilderness for so long, all of you should know about the ferocious birds like the Plague Birds.”

Baldy briefly introduced the surroundings of the Ye Chen Tribe. When he mentioned the Plague Bird, he stopped and quietly looked at everyone without saying anything.

“Plague birds? I think I’ve heard of them somewhere—”

“Plague Bird… I got it! It’s the rumored bird that’s as fragile as paper but it’s covered in poison. Once it’s injured, its body will explode. Even a D-Rank wild beast can’t withstand its poison. If its amount reaches a certain number, even an adult A-Rank wild beast will die.”

“So that’s it. I was wondering where I heard about it.”

“That’s strange. According to Baldy, that place is definitely a good place. But the question is, how did Ye Chen get in?”

“Ye Chen’s Divine Beast is a bird. Do you think that he relies on his Divine Beast every time he comes in and goes out?”

“Probably. I think that’s a possibility.”

“Then there’s the problem again. You all know about the Plague Bird. It’s fine if you don’t provoke it. Everyone is fine but once you step into its territory, they will attack you together.”

“Therefore, with the Plague Bird, Ye Chen is absolutely safe.”

At this point, the few of them fell silent. The light in their eyes showed that their brains were working furiously.

As expected, hatred made people stronger. Whether it was strength or intelligence, it was a qualitative improvement. After a while, someone spoke.

“That’s what we think and that’s what Ye Chen thinks as well. In that case, we can capture his arrogance!”

“You mean…” someone said, as if he’d thought of something and still wasn’t sure.

“That’s right. Ye Chen will definitely think that he is safe in the tribe. The mutated beasts can’t always be by his side. There will always be a time when they go out to hunt for food. That will be our chance!”

“Before that, what we need to do is to teach people to monitor that area. Then, we’ll send some people to familiarize themselves with the environment there. We’ll see where the beasts are and what route the beasts take!”

“We are fully prepared to catch Ye Chen off guard and force out the method to rear a second mutated beast. We can even ask him how he obtained the Divine Beast continuously!”
