Chapter 26: The Floating Island Overseas

  Cai Xia was born into a noble family, the legitimate granddaughter of the Beast Tamer Sect's leader. Although she wasn't the most favored one, she still gained the sect leader's appreciation. In order to gain an advantage in this demon-hunting operation, she deliberately tried to win over the sect leader, sparing no effort, and finally obtained the secret treasure - the Beast Taming Circle. It was said that this circle was forged by a great beast tamer from ancient times, containing the secrets of beast taming. The stronger the demonic beast, the greater its restraining power.

  It can be said that for this demon-hunting operation, she was well-prepared, and even Old Gao and Zheng Honglie were not as confident as her.

  As expected, once the beast-taming circle was activated, Qi Lei was powerless to resist, his eyes closed as if he were a fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of the butcher's knife.

  "It's actually a beast-taming circle, haha, with this treasure in hand, the demonic eagle can only be captured, congratulations to the young lady for getting what she wanted."

  Lao Gao's pale face revealed a hint of joy, and he let out a long sigh of relief. At the same time, he secretly activated the Xuanbing Technique to absorb the cold energy from Zheng Honglie's body. The Xuanbing Technique was extremely powerful, and if it were not used quickly enough, it could cause serious harm or even death. The Zheng family was a prominent clan in the Beast Taming Sect, and if they found out that their own son had been killed by one of their own people rather than an enemy, who knows how much trouble would ensue.

  However, before they could rejoice for long, Qi Lei's eagle eyes suddenly opened, and his claws, swift as two flashes of lightning, narrowly grasped the taming circle.

  "No, my taming circle!"

  Cai Xia's face changed greatly, her slender fingers made a strange gesture, and at the same time, her small mouth opened slightly, muttering out an incantation.

  The beast ring was struggling violently, like a fish leaving the water's surface, crackling and flailing non-stop, radiating dazzling rays of light that made people's eyes unable to open.

  But no matter how hard it struggled, Zile still held on tightly, without moving a single thread.

  He had tasted the bitter fruit of "Soul-Banning Secret Art" and deeply understood the tyrannical way of this circle. It was just his good luck that Shi Hai Xiao Hua suddenly swayed, otherwise he would have been killed by her poisonous hand. As for this artifact specifically targeting demonic beasts, if it were to be returned, who knows how many of his own kind would be harmed? Therefore, the beast-taming circle must be controlled by him.

  "Hiss!"

  He let out a long roar, his claws grasping even tighter, the remaining demonic energy bursting out desperately, fiercely resisting the beast-taming circle.

  Just as they were at a stalemate, a sudden commotion broke out nearby.

  "Rustle rustle----"

  "Howl----"

  "Chatter, chatter----"

  "Hmm hmm----"

  Bai Mao, San Zhao, Fei Que and Di Shu, the four great spirits under Qi Lei's command, led their tribes to arrive at the right moment.

  The monkeys, as instructed before, formed groups of three and five, desperately throwing stones and branches, truly achieving a sky-shrouding and earth-covering effect. The howling of the blood wolves grew louder with each passing moment, circling around Cai Xiang and Lu Yi Chen without stopping, giving off an aura that they were about to charge forward. The birds didn't hold back either, flying up in flocks, shaking branches, their chirping sounds unceasing. The groundhogs went even further, digging a massive pit under the feet of Cai Die and others, trapping them inside, leaving them frightened out of their wits.

  The chaotic scene was shocking, unparalleled, and although Bai Mao and others did not rush forward to fight, the momentum was enough to make Lao Gao, Cai Xia, and others feel fearful, involuntarily thinking of the word "escape".

  It's true that when the troops are defeated, they collapse like a mountain. Cai Die, Lu Yichen, Lao Gao and others were all quick-witted people who knew that things had gone beyond repair. They exchanged a glance, each brought out their special skills, turned around and left.

  Zi Lei had the intention to chase after them, but having continuously fought with two foundation-building cultivators, his demonic energy was greatly depleted, and he really couldn't muster up the strength, so he could only watch their backs as they walked away, sighing in regret, while at the same time feeling that this place was no longer safe.

  Although we won this time, who can guarantee there won't be a next time?

  Of course, at the moment of great victory, it's not convenient to bring up depressing topics. Until a few days later, when he had fully recovered, he gathered Bai Mao and the other four monsters to discuss what to do next.

  "You've also seen that although there are few humans, their combat strength is not to be underestimated. If we weren't lucky this time, it's still unknown whether we can make it through or not. Moreover, I dare to conclude that they will definitely not give up easily, and next time there will be even more people, with higher cultivation levels, coming to besiege us."

  The four spirits, especially the white-haired one, had witnessed several attempts on the cultivator's life and were deeply moved. As soon as Qi Lei finished speaking, he couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, this place is no longer safe, let's move out."

  Three Claws, Flying Sparrow and Ground Mouse have heard White Fur talk about past events and participated in this battle. Thinking about it, they also had a lingering fear, and were not opposed to the migration, but even looked forward to leaving early.

  They have stepped into the threshold of the unknown, counted among the tens of thousands of lives that are superior, deeply aware of the great danger caused by humans.

  "Then let's prepare for migration!"

  Of course, migration is easy to talk about but difficult to do.

  First, there must be a goal, and it's impossible to lead the four major clans in a chaotic manner, running wildly in all directions. Secondly, one must make sufficient preparations. The four major clans have been living here since ancient times, and while giving birth to kings, they have left behind many things that can be passed down. If these are not taken together, it would be a great pity. One should know that beasts are unlike humans, with written words that can be passed down, every single thing that can be passed down is incredibly precious.

  "Your Majesty, I have some opinions on the migration route!"

  The sparrow suddenly spoke up.

  The demon tribe is not as good at turning corners and being hypocritical as humans, even if they have white hair and appear to be treacherous. After having an idea, they will express it directly. Dealing with them is actually much easier than dealing with humans.

  "When I was very young, some migrating tribesmen once told me that on the shores of the East Sea, there is a floating island with a beautiful environment and dense spiritual energy. It's a rare and wonderful place. If we settle down here, not only can we avoid being hunted by humans, but it will also bring us unparalleled benefits for our cultivation as demons."

  Zi Lei was overjoyed at first, but soon felt that this method had many problems.

  "On the shores of the East Sea, in a place teeming with people, how can we get there? And even if we do arrive, since the Floating Island is so suitable for cultivation, how could it not be occupied by other cultivators or demonic beasts?"

  "The great king is unaware that this island is different from other islands. Although it is located on the eastern sea, it is also close to the Tian Shan Mountains. It's not necessarily necessary to go through the human gathering area. Moreover, the surrounding environment of this island is special. Except for a few specific days, it is always windy and stormy, hidden in thick fog all day long. If it weren't for a coincidence, no one would be able to find it. The possibility of being occupied by monks or demons is not great."

  The analysis of the flying sparrow had just fallen when San Zhao suddenly interrupted, saying coldly: "Even if we occupy it, what can we do? With the great king's skills, taking it back is easy!"

  Zi Lei heard this and his eyes narrowed for a moment, but then he was overjoyed.

  The strong rule in the demon clan!

  No territory? Then take one by force!

  "In that case, we'll head east all the way and find where the Floating Islands are, then migrate our entire tribe there."

  With a single word from Zile, the entire Monkey Valley and Blood Wolf Mountain area sprang into action. All living beings discovered that several kings in the mountain range were acting at the same time, taking all members of their tribes away from their territories.

  In the Monkey Valley, thousands of big and small monkeys jumped out of their ancestral territory one by one, carrying many things wrapped in animal fur, including fruits, seeds, and many strong apes carrying young saplings of strange fruit trees.

  Almost at the same time, Fei Que, Xue Lang and Di Shu all set out in full gear, ready for a long journey, as the outer reaches of the Tian Shan mountains erupted in a frenzy.
