Chapter 687 - Trouble In The Skies Part 2

"KYeaak!" The wind falcon did not seem to like being called an oversized chicken as its determination to eat Kana grew even more frantic. It clawed and pecked at the hole Kana made, trying to make a spot big enough for its beak, but Kana kept digging the hole deeper into the rock. 

"d.a.m.n it! Why won"t this stupid rock not let me dig up, down, or to the sides!?" Kana frowned, she had tried breaking the rock above her head to climb upwards, but for some reason, this seemed to not be possible. She could only dig deeper into the rock and not up or down. 

"How dare you!?" A voice suddenly came from behind the wind falcon. "Blazing slas.h.!.+ Leave Miss Beautiful alone!"

"KYeaak!" The wind falcon roared out in pain and flew backward from the wall. At the same time, a figure jumped into the hole and looked around. "Miss Beautiful, where are you!? I, Fan Sengya, am here to save you!"

Fan Sengya looked around and frowned. All he saw was a strange-looking lizard. "What happened to Miss Beautiful? Why is there only a lizard here? I could have sworn I saw her climb inside this hole. She couldn"t have…."

Fan Sengya"s face paled as he looked at the lizard, but soon he shook his head. "How could this lizard eat her? It"s so tiny and small, but if it was not the lizard, then…." Fan Sengya turned around and jumped out of the hole towards the hovering wind falcon. "You d.a.m.n b.a.s.t.a.r.d, how far you eat, my beloved!? I will kill you!"

Kana stared at the stupid man in disbelief. "Is that fool okay in the head?" But when she saw the stupid idiot was about to fall from such a height, she sighed and crawled out of her cubby hole and transformed back into her human form. She ran to the edge and reached out with her hand: "Quickly grab on!"

Fan Sengya felt like he had heard an angel"s voice as he turned his head to look at the girl reaching out towards him. "Miss Beautiful, you do care about me!"

"Uhh… Yeah, whatever, just grab my hand, idiot!" Kana yelled back as she saw that he was still not taking her hand. Any second he was about to fall to his death. 

"Ah! Yes!" Fan Sengya finally grabbed Kana"s hand, and the next thing he knew, he was being sent flying into the hole with a simple pull from Kana. 

Of course, the wind falcon was angered beyond belief and wanted to kill the puny human boy for hurting it. "KYeaak!" The wind falcon charged at the hole that both Kana and Fan Sengya were in and began ruthlessly attacking the fluff wall trying to dig them out. 

"d.a.m.n it! That wouldn"t be a problem if I had spiritual qi." Kana gritted her teeth as she bashed the wall behind her to make the hole deeper. She then looked at the idiot who was staring at her with a strange look and frowned. "What are you looking at? What idiot calls out a  special move when they can"t even use spiritual qi? Are you asking for death? If you fell, you would have died!"

"Miss Beautiful, do you worry about me this much!?" Fan Sengya"s head seemed to be missing a few screws.

"What the h.e.l.l are you talking about? Are you okay in the head? Should I tell Elder Ning you lost your marbles? Anyway, stop staring at me and help me dig the hole deeper, or we will die!" 

"Ahh, right!" The word die seemed to have snapped Fan Sengya out of his idiot mode as he quickly went to work, making the hole deeper. 

"I do not think this oversized chicken is part of the test. We all have our spiritual qi sealed, and this bird is at least a rank three demonic beast. This means something is not right. The test itself is about determination. If we were to fight a rank three demonic beast, no matter how many people we had, we would all die." Kana felt this whole situation was off. She just didn"t know why this was happening. 

"I think you are right. That bird can kill every disciple on the cliffside. In a way, the others are lucky as they will have time to try to get away as fast as possible with us distracting the wind falcon. From what I can guess, if this is not part of the test and the elders have not moved in yet, it means they can"t. I think the array not only keeps us in but locks them out as well. This is probably to ensure fairness within the trial." Fan Sengya finally said something smart for once. 

"So your saying if we can keep this stupid bird preoccupied, until tomorrow the elders can come in?" Kana knew tomorrow was the end of the test, but she had no idea how long they would be able to keep digging deeper into the rock. 

"Keeping it busy will be fine as long as we divert its attention. With how hard it is struggling to dig deeper now, we should be able to keep it on us and still be safe." The wind falcon had slowed its relentless attacks on the cliff wall. This was because, at some point, the cliff began regenerating after the wind falcon attacked it. But even still, the wind falcon still seemed determined to eat the prey in front of it.

On another part of the wall, the monk and archer girl both looked up at the wind falcon and the hole it was attacking with grim expressions. The two happened to be close by, and the archer girl saw that the monk was also looking in that direction. "Should we help?"

"Benefactor, I do not think this is wise. Look at the cliff wall. " The archer girl looked in the direction the monk was pointing to and saw the wall regenerating. 

"I still can not just sit here while they are being attacked. Even that idiot seemed to be willing to try to save the winged girl." The archer girl began drawing her bow but was suddenly stopped by the monk. 

"Benefactor, this is not wise. Attacking now will only result in our deaths. Let"s first do as they did and create a hole.. We can then draw the wind falcon to us, allowing them to rest."
