After the delay last night, Ye Lingyue and Feng Xun have fallen behind the other contestants.
But at this mont, they could hardly concern themselves with that, as they were worried about Little Wuya’s safety.
Ahead appeared a small branching path, deviating from the original exit.
It was a narrow pathway resembling a stream, barely wide enough for one and a half people to pass through.
The sides were lined with cliff walls sharp as blades, with rocks jutting out like knife edges.
Such a dangerously treacherous place made it difficult for even the Four-direction Boat to dock inside, and if one were to fly, it was too narrow, and climbing would be too steep.
"If Little Zhiyo’s feeling is not wrong, Little Wuya should be around this cliff area."
Ye Lingyue docked the Four-direction Boat on an unusually steep cliff, furrowing her brows slightly and speaking in a low voice.
Looking up at the cliff walls, she could intermittently hear the cries of nurous birds and beasts.
Shapes resembling both humans and birds, those were the lairs of the Three-legged Birdn.
Because of the special location of these nests, even though the competing players knew that the Three-legged Birdn lived here, they didn’t dare to provoke them rashly.
Most contestants simply gave up on killing the Three-legged Birdn and rushed to catch other Fierce Beasts in the Middle region instead.
"Sister Yue, we should not delay. Let’s hurry up and save Little Wuya." Baobao had been blaming himself all the way.
"No, you guys stay here, Little Zhi and I going up will be enough." Ye Lingyue knew the Three-legged Birdn were Fierce Beasts with human intellect.
They chose such a perilous place to build their nests, proving their leader was quite strategic.
Little Wuya was not an ordinary Spiritual Beast; she possessed the pure bloodline of the Divine Bird Phoenix Clan.
Even though she was abandoned by the Phoenix Clan, her divine bird lineage was undeniable.
This could be seen from Little Wuya’s ability to control birds.
Once the leader of the Three-legged Birdn sees Little Wuya, they will surely notice this.
Ye Lingyue was confident that the opponent would not harm Little Wuya because of this.
"How could that be okay? It’s too dangerous up there. Brother Feng, please persuade Sister Yue." Baobao’s little face was tense.
He thought Feng Xun would help him, but the reality was the opposite.
"Little Stead Bun, your Sister Yue is right. The more people, the more trouble. Let’s just stay here for now. Ling Yue, be careful on your way. You must return by this ti tomorrow. If anything happens, rember to use the Phoenix Token to contact us." Feng Xun looked at Ye Lingyue, his tone firm and resolute.
Ye Lingyue smiled at Feng Xun upon hearing this.
What she liked most about Feng Xun was his respect for her.
This man, when he doted on her, made her feel like she was a baby.
But sotis, he truly trusted her.
He never assud won were like cuscuta, needing to cling to n to survive.
Baobao was surprised, being young, he naturally didn’t understand the special emotion, akin to love and friendship, that flowed between Ye Lingyue and Feng Xun.
After many years, he ca to understand that between Ye Lingyue and Feng Xun, they had already beco each other’s only irreplaceable one.
Because of Ye Lingyue’s decision, Feng Xun and Ye Lingyue temporarily parted ways at the base of the cliff.
With a light tap of her foot, Ye Lingyue executed the Flower Pinching Jade Shattering Hand.
This martial art was the second one she learned after starting her martial arts journey.
As she had broken through the Second Layer of Heaven and Earth Tribulation, her mastery had beco even more flawless.
Instantly, a sticking force erged on her limbs.
Upon re contact with the cliff, the stones would imdiately shatter into dust, leaving the surface smooth.
After several attempts, a relatively flat path quickly ford on the steep cliffside.
Like a gecko, Ye Lingyue scaled upwards along the path, while Little Zhiyo clung to her sleeve.
It was only after the figures of the human and the beast completely disappeared that Feng Xun and Long Baobao, who had parked the Four-direction Boat below the dangerously high cliff, withdrew their gaze.
"Brother Feng Xun, aren’t you worried about Sister Yue at all?" Long Baobao looked slightly forlorn.
He did not understand the emotions between adults; all he knew was that if he were Brother Feng Xun, he would use all his strength to protect everything about Sister Yue and keep her within his sight.
"Worried, yes, but Ling Yue has her own matters, and I have my responsibilities," Feng Xun said, patting Long Baobao’s little head.
Feng Xun did not overlook the attachnt and shy feelings that Long Baobao held for Ye Lingyue in his eyes.
Long Baobao wanted to say more, but suddenly his eyelids grew heavy.
His little body felt extrely tired, and soon he lay down in the boat, fast asleep.
While Long Baobao slept, the small pocket on his clothes that held the Lightning Mink showed movent, as a head peaked out like that of a little mouse.
It stared with shiny black eyes at either Feng Xun or perhaps Wu Zhong.
"Little fellow, you’ve found . But it’s good that you did. As a Corpse Demon Weasel, rare in the mainland, even in your infancy, you must learn how to kill. Rember, born as a demon, slaughter is the supre thod to obtain demonic power," Wu Zhong said, his lips curling into a lazy smile.
The appearance of the Little Corpse was not by chance.
When Feng Xun and Ye Lingyue arrived at the cave of the Lightning Minks in the River Valley, Feng Xun picked up the black mink and discovered that it possessed so demon beast bloodline.
Not just the Lightning Mink, but many Fierce Beasts in the Rift Valley Sand River also shared a part of the demon beast bloodline.
Seizing the opportunity when Ye Lingyue was unaware, Feng Xun injected a force into the Little Corpse. During subsequent treatnts, Ye Lingyue used the Black Cauldron Breath, and by a twist of fate, the Little Corpse beca a unique Corpse Demon Beast in the mainland.
A Corpse Demon Beast, an immortal demon beast, would certainly beco a force to be reckoned with on the mainland as its power grew.
Of course, these little tricks were unnoticed by Ye Lingyue, not to ntion Long Baobao.
Little Corpse rubbed its head against Wu Zhong’s fingers and then jumped onto his broad palm.
"We should take the opportunity before my little woman returns to give her a big gift by clearing out those unwanted flies."
With a mischievous smile like that of a poppy flower, Wu Zhong’s lips parted.
In one day, he intended to clear the Fierce Beasts from the Middle regions, and also take the chance to teach a lesson to those annoying fellows who covet his woman, providing an additional surprise for his little woman.
Having said that, Wu Zhong waved his sleeves, a dark golden array enveloped Long Baobao and the Four-direction Boat, concealing their figures and breath. Only then did Wu Zhong leap out, disappearing along the winding sand river.
