Chapter 519: Chapter 128: Valley of Destruction_3
Na Yan looked at the Wing King flying in midair, and said to Xuan Ye, "His flight ability is really strong! He’s faster than a bird, worthy of being the king of the Winged Tribe."
Xuan Ye whispered, "Yes! This Wing King is not simple, he seems to excel in martial arts and his skills are not weak either. Father-in-law, do you have any concerns now? The Wing King seems to be sincere."
Na Yan shook his head and said, "It’s hard to say, we can’t make any conclusions yet. I also hope he doesn’t pull any tricks. Be careful, child."
The Winged Tribe, along with nearly a thousand people from the church, quickly advanced through the forest. By the break of dawn, they had deeply entered the great forest of the Tian Yuan Clan. According to the Wing King, they have already passed through the territory of the Winged Tribe. Not too far ahead lies the realm of the Half-Beast. The Winged Tribe progressed much more cautiously. In a short while, through the information relayed from his subordinates from the high altitude, the Wing King managed to capture more than ten Half-Beast scouts. These Half-Beasts were from different tribes, very fierce, and their strength was not weak. However, their numbers were too small, and all were subdued by the Winged Tribe. Seeing the merciless way the Winged Tribe handled the Half-Beast scouts, even Na Yan’s lingering worry settled down, and he didn’t proceed as cautiously as before.
Suddenly, the golden figure of the Wing King flew back to Xuan Ye’s side, and his subordinate winged people also stopped. Xuan Ye quickly ordered the church’s troop to halt their progress, and asked the Wing King, "Are we there?"
The Wing King nodded solemnly, and said, "Not far ahead is the valley where the Half-Beasts live. Don’t be surprised, the Half-Beasts and we are different. Although their territory has forests, they mainly live in the valleys. I refer to it as the Half-Beast Valley, where the vast majority of Half-Beasts reside, the Dark Witcher may be hidden among them. My people just reported that the Half-Beasts in the valley have just awoken from their sleep. Let’s rest here for a while, and once both of our sides have adjusted to our best condition, we can launch a joint attack and ensure victory with one strike."
Xuan Ye smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, the Wing King, you’re very thorough. Fine, everyone rest on the spot, adjust to your best condition, and we’ll begin our operation in twenty minutes." After saying this, he sat down on the ground. The journey so far hadn’t exhausted him much. Ballon handed Xuan Ye a water bottle and said, "Master Priest, have some water first."
Xuan Ye smiled slightly and said, "Ballon, don’t forget what I told you before, you have to perform well later! Let’s see what level you’ve practiced to."
Full of confidence, Ballon said, "Don’t worry, I won’t disappoint everyone’s expectations." While speaking, his hand unconsciously brushed his longsword. An enchanting image of Xuan Yue surfaced in his mind, a smile crossed his lips as he seemed to have already envisioned the scene of him marrying Xuan Yue.
Ballon patted Ballon on the head and passed his message to him in a low voice. "Don’t get ahead of yourself, remember, when the time comes to act, be brave yet cautious. Don’t give the enemy an opportunity due to your own mistakes. I only have you as my son. If anything happens to you, your mother would never spare me when we return. Also, in the event of a battle, stay near me for easy rescue, understand?"
Seeing his father serious, Ballon didn’t dare to say more. He nodded and said, "Father, don’t worry, I will take care of myself."
Xuan Yuan sat cross-legged on the ground, feeling as if his own blood was boiling. No matter how powerful the enemy in front of him was, he didn’t care. From the day he started learning martial arts, he believed that he was born for it. No matter when, the word ’fear’ would never appear in his heart. He thirsted for battle and success. Only the blood of his enemies could elevate him to higher levels.
Na Yan sat next to Xuan Yuan, always feeling a sense of unease. An ominous premonition lingered and wouldn’t disappear. But what could it be? At this point, the situation was like a bow fully drawn and must be released. He couldn’t mention his concerns as it would affect everyone’s morale. He could only continuously warn himself, to be extremely cautious. On the continent, the church represents the Sky God, and they cannot lose.
Time passed quickly, and twenty minutes flew by. Xuan Yuan was the first to stand up. He glanced at the Wing King and said gravely, "Let’s go."
Seen by Xuan Yuan’s gaze, the Wing King suddenly felt a sense of terror. He shivered involuntarily, thinking to himself: This old man has a profound strength! He ascended into the air, directing his tribe members who were resting in the trees to rise again, hovering above everyone from the church, slowly moving towards the southeast.
As the Wing King had said, just five minutes later, everyone had left the great forest of the Tian Yuan Clan. Before them was a large valley surrounded by mountains. Various green plants grew over the mountains, dyeing them green. Xuan Ye peered into the distance, seeing the Death Mountain Range looming in the far distance. It didn’t seem too far from them. One trait about the Death Mountain Range was the lack of vegetation, its gray-black mountain body was extremely easy to identify. The Wing King floated above Xuan Ye, and in a low voice, said, "The valley ahead is where the Half-Beasts reside. What do we do now? Charge straight in? That’s the path to enter the valley." As he said this, he pointed at a spot not far ahead. Xuan Ye stared at it and noticed a natural crevice about a few tens of meters wide. With such width and the power of their church members, they didn’t need to fear any enemy ambush. Xuan Ye turned to Xuan Yuan and said, "Judgment Chief, what should we do now? Charge straight in?"
