Chapter 446: Departure
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
There was still a month until the opening of Cloud Peak Academy.
Generally, in order to travel to the academy from a typical base city, one would require a dedicated escort because the wilderness was far too dangerous.
Sky Blue Base City was quite a distance from Cloud Peak Academy, making it an ideal time to depart.
Ye Li, along with Xia Xi and several students from Sky Blue Academy, began their journey toward Cloud Peak Academy.
“Senior, with your level of strength, why do you want to go to Cloud Peak Academy?” Xia Xi looked at Ye Li, puzzled.
“Because there are some people 1 want to meet there,” Ye Li replied calmly.
Xia Xi was stunned. “Some people?”
The other students were also a little stunned. They didn’t expect Mr. Ye to answer like this.
The three students accompanying them were named Yang Xiong, Zhang Du, and Li Yun.
“Senior, are the people you want to meet girls?” Xia Xi asked, her curiosity evident.
“That’s right.” Ye Li nodded.
Ye Li had the route to Cloud Peak Academy in his mind,
but he only knew the general direction. He wasn’t aware of the specific names or places on the way.
While the wilderness could be dangerous, the route they were taking was not as treacherous because it was similar to an ancient Chinese highway.
In this world, many such routes were heavily guarded by the Genetic Warrior Alliance, and they had checkpoints at regular intervals to ensure safety.
As the sun turned blood-red and started to set, the group arrived at a location.
It was an old and rundown village. To Ye Li’s surprise, there were still lights on in the village.
Ye Li had heard that there were human settlements outside the base cities, but they were far less secure than the cities themselves.
Especially at night, the wilderness was extremely perilous, and one could lose their life at any moment.
With his extraordinary hearing, Ye Li had already detected the sounds of weeping coming from the village.
“Let’s go take a look,” Ye Li said calmly.
The others nodded, and they walked towards the village.
Ten minutes later, they arrived at the village.
Upon reaching the village, they heard dozens of heart-wrenching cries, which sent shivers down their spines.
“Senior, what’s happening?” Xia Xi asked, stunned, her gaze fixed on Ye Li.
Ye Li’s expression remained unchanged, and he knew that such heart-wrenching cries could only be caused by the death of a person.
Without saying a word, Ye Li followed the direction of the sound.
The others quickly followed him…
They arrived at a dilapidated wooden house, and dozens of people were gathered in the yard. Their faces were heavy with grief.
Inside the main room, there was a coffin, and more than a dozen people were kneeling on the ground, crying in agony.
“Village Chief, you died a terrible death.”
“Village Chief, we will definitely avenge you.”
“Even if we have to risk our lives for the entire village, we will kill that beast!”
Ye Li observed that among the gathered people, there were two 6th-tier Awakened Beings and one 8th-tier Awakened Being.
He had almost forgotten that Awakened Beings existed, as they were far too weak in his current state.
“May I ask… what has happened?”
Xia Xi walked into the yard like a curious baby and asked.
The dozens of people standing in the yard were shocked. They hurriedly turned around to look at Xia Xi..
