Chapter 29: Crisis

  "It seems that the person who is after Luo Xiao has found him." Zhuge Mingyue said, biting her lip.

  "What's going on?!" Ling Feiyang looked at Zhuge Mingyue in surprise, he had just entered the small valley and was still observing his surroundings, thinking that this place was extraordinary. Suddenly, he heard Zhuge Mingyue's discussion and walked over in surprise, asking "What's going on?"

  Zhuge Mingyue looked up at Ling Feiyang, thought for a moment, and still told the truth: "Luo Xiao was killed by us and buried here. But now the body is gone, and there is no news in the city that his body has been found." As for Ling Feiyang, Zhuge Mingyue was very clear about this person - this young master was arrogant and self-loving, but he was still reliable. Telling him about Luo Xiao's matter would not be a problem.

  Ling Feiyang's eyes widened in shock after hearing Zhuge Mingyue's words: "You, you killed Luo Xiao? That B-level fugitive? You're just a high-level summoner!"

  "At that time, Mingyue was not a high-level summoner yet." Xue Zihao muttered.

  Ling Feiyang looked at Zhuge Mingyue with an incredulous gaze, what? When he killed Luo Xiao at that time, wasn't Zhuge Mingyue not a high-level summoner yet?

  "He was badly injured at the time, and I only won because of a sneak attack." Zhuge Mingyue replied calmly, "This matter is not that simple. Luo Xiao's body has disappeared, and I remember the principal saying that Luo Xiao was being chased to death when he came here. What would be the purpose of those people?"

  Zhuge Mingyue vaguely felt that those people came for the picture on Luo Xiao's body.

  "You believe in me so much, telling me this?" Ling Feiyang was somewhat surprised.

  Zhuge Mingyue glanced at Ling Feiyang with a hint of disdain and said, "You're the kind of person who's a bit self-absorbed, a bit arrogant, and always looks down on others, but despite all that, you're not a bad person."

  Ling Feiyang twitched the corner of his mouth, he would rather not have such praise.

  Wan Qi Chen and Xue Zi Hao were on the side, holding back their schadenfreude smiles.

  "Don't touch anything here, let's retreat the way we came." Zhuge Mingyue thought for a moment and made a decision. If they were to pursue and kill Luo Xiao's group, it would be bad if they found out that they had returned.

  A group of people quietly left the small valley.

  "Where are we going now?" Wan Xichen and Xue Zihao looked at Zhuge Mingyue simultaneously.

  "Let's go a bit further in." Zhuge Mingyue thought for a moment and made a decision. Wan Qi Chen and Xue Zihao had no objections, while Ling Feiyang silently followed behind Zhuge Mingyue without saying a word. Zhuge Mingyue glanced at Ling Feiyang out of the corner of her eye, and suddenly had an idea. Ling Feiyang was only following her because he wanted to prove himself due to his unyielding heart. If she were to satisfy this unyielding thought of his... Ling Feiyang's strength was considerable, which Zhuge Mingyue couldn't deny, but she didn't think Ling Feiyang was suitable as her Guardian Master, at least not with that unyielding thought in his heart.

  Four people in a row, went deep into the Xunlong Mountains. Along the way, the surroundings became more and more quiet, only occasionally hearing the calls of birds and their faint footsteps. Xue Zihao was tense all over, feeling vigilant around him. Ling Feiyang, although with an expressionless face, was also concentrating on his surroundings.

  The closer to the inner part of the Longshan Mountains, the more oppressive the atmosphere between the mountains and forests became. The cold mountain wind swept by, bringing a hint of chilliness. Even the sunlight that filtered through the leaves and sprinkled into the forest seemed duller.

  "Has the bright moon found any good herbs?" asked Wan Xi Chen in a low voice, looking around.

  "Not yet, you think the right alchemy herbs are that easy to find? They're all over the place? Are you hungry? If you're hungry, eat something first." Zhuge Mingyue searched intently while casually responding to Wan Qi Chen.

  "That's not it, I just have a weird feeling." Wan Xi Chen said hesitantly.

  Zhuge Mingyue withdrew her gaze and looked around, but Wan Xichen didn't notice anything unusual. This time, however, she felt a bit strange, as the surroundings were extremely quiet, almost to an excessive degree.

  Ling Feiyang slightly furrowed his brow: "From just now, I've felt that it's too quiet around us." Ling Feiyang had already sensed something was off, but hadn't spoken up.

  Several people looked at each other, their eyes scanning the surrounding woods, becoming more vigilant. This mountain forest is relatively sparse, with tall trees scattered around, and nothing was found at a glance.

  Their attention was focused on the mountain forest, and no one noticed that at an altitude of thousands of meters above their heads, two black dots were circling in the clouds, their eyes fixed on the few people who had invaded its territory below.

  "It seems like nothing's wrong?" After a while, seeing that there was nothing out of the ordinary, Wan Xizhen said somewhat hesitantly.

  Ling Feiyang furrowed his brow and didn't speak, he always felt that something was off.

  Few people have noticed that the black spot on top of their heads is swirling more urgently, and its height has also come down, making it look much larger than before. If they looked up at this time, they would definitely be able to see clearly that it was two eagles with a cyan glow all over their bodies, their bodies were not huge, but the sharp long beak was like a steel-made spearhead, and the steel-like wings brought up a whirlpool-like airflow every time they flapped.

  "Look, Mingyue, isn't that the herb we collected last time?" Wan Xichen had sharp eyes and spotted a familiar-looking herb, and he rushed over while speaking.

  But at this moment, mutation broke out!

  "Fatty! Be careful!" Xue Zi Hao hastily shouted, drawing his bow and shooting an arrow at the top of Wan Qi Chen's head, but it was too late.

  Ling Feiyang suddenly flashed forward, grabbed Wan Qi Chen's collar and pulled him backward with a sudden force.

  Just as Wan Xizhen was pulled away by Ling Feiyang, a giant eagle swooped down, its sharp claws grasping fiercely at the spot where he had just been standing. The piercing sound of its dive sent shivers down people's spines. It wasn't hard to imagine what would have happened if Wan Xizhen had been caught in that grasp.

  Before everyone could react, another eagle shot out like a sharp arrow, and Xue Zi Hao, who was still on high alert, also shot an arrow at this time. The powerful arrow flew towards the eagle with a sharp whistling sound, but the eagle suddenly spread its wings and slapped the arrow away. The arrow that contained all of Xue Zi Hao's strength couldn't even shoot down one of its feathers.

  However, this arrow managed to block the eagle's diving momentum. Taking advantage of this brief gap, Ling Feiyang had already blocked Wan Kuocheng's side and swung his sword at the eagle. The power of a land-level swordsman was fully demonstrated in this one sword, with the sword body wrapped in a layer of gorgeous light, leaving behind a trail of residual images like a fan.

  But the eagle hawk made a wonderful turn, easily dodging this must-get sword.

  Xue Zihao shot several more arrows, but they were all batted away by the steel-like wings, failing to cause any harm. Xue Zihao drank a bottle of strength potion and shot several more arrows, one of which pierced the tip of an eagle's wing. However, this only enraged the eagle further.

  Two eagles soared up again and dived down once more.

  "It's Iron Winged Hawk, let's hurry!" Ling Fei Yang's expression became more serious than ever before.

  After hearing Ling Feiyang's words, several people were shocked and hastily retreated to the dense forest. Although the Iron Winged Hawk is not enormous in size, with its steel-like hard wings, sharp beak, and speed like thunder, as well as intelligence far surpassing that of ordinary ferocious beasts, it is undoubtedly a top-tier existence among ferocious beasts, and can even be called the king of flying ferocious beasts.

  Although several people retreated quickly, how could they be faster than the Iron Winged Thunder Eagles? They had only run a few steps when two eagles dived down from above, their iron wings spread wide and flapping wildly, creating a strong gust of wind that made it hard for anyone to keep their eyes open.

  "Medicine, medicine!" Wan Xichen yelled, frantically rummaging for the medicine, but the eagle had already swooped down at lightning speed, giving them no chance whatsoever.

  "It's useless, the Thunder Hawks are too fast." Ling Feiyang's heart sank, and his long sword swung out again. But this time, the two Thunder Hawks seemed to have discussed it beforehand, their agile bodies making a beautiful turn, dodging his sword and charging towards Wan Chenzhen behind him. With their intelligence far surpassing that of ordinary fierce beasts, they also understood that the swordsman in front of them was not easy to deal with, so they locked onto Wan Chenzhen as their target instead. But once someone left Ling Feiyang's protection range, the Thunder Hawks would pounce without hesitation. This is going to be trouble.

  Just as Ling Feiyang's sword edge turned, Lei Ying changed direction again and rushed towards Zhuge Mingyue and Xue Zihao respectively. Xue Zihao hastily drank the strength potion again, and with two swift arrows, barely forced back Lei Ying.

  "Find a way to retreat into the woods." Ling Feiyang swung his sword again, saying to Zhuge Mingyue and others. However, it's easy to say but hard to do, because under the continuous impact of the two iron-winged thunder eagles, their escape speed was almost as slow as a turtle's. Even if they drank the agility potion, they didn't dare to go out rashly, once they went out, they would immediately become the target of attack.

  Ling Fei Yang's heart was extremely anxious, the Iron Winged Hawk wasn't just known for its speed and intelligence, but also for its ferocity, which was the nature of all fierce beasts. The most crucial point was that they were the rulers of the sky, if this time they had encountered a fierce beast on land, it would have been easier to deal with.

  Zhuge Mingyue steadied her footing, downed a bottle of calming potion, and rapidly stabilized her emotions. She no longer retreated, but instead quickly began to chant an incantation.

  Wan Xi Zhen also stopped in his tracks, downed a bottle of calming medicine and began to chant an incantation.
