The Golden-Winged Eagle soared high through the sky with the Gate of Myriad Wonders in its talons, letting out excited cries every so often.
At that moment,
Li Yun's heart sank into darkness.
He had no idea why the Golden-Winged Eagle had snatched the Gate of Myriad Wonders, or what fate awaited him.
All he knew was that he was panicking.
Panicking like crazy.
Then, another unexpected turn came.
Whoosh!!
A streak of golden light suddenly shot in from the distance.
It was an arrow fired from somewhere in the forest below. By sheer coincidence, it pierced one of the Golden-Winged Eagle's wings just as he cried out in excitement.
The eagle's cry turned into a shrill scream of pain.
His sharp talons loosened their grip, and the Gate of Myriad Wonders fell.
Boom!!
Several minutes later,
A violent shock surged through the Gate of Myriad Wonders, nearly shaking the blood right out of Li Yun's mouth as he hid inside.
By then,
The Gate of Myriad Wonders had struck the ground, gouging a pit dozens of meters deep into the forest. Water gushed into the pit and swallowed the Gate of Myriad Wonders with a roar.
Fortunately, the Gate of Myriad Wonders reacted on instinct and quickly raised a Light Curtain to keep the water out. Otherwise, the surging groundwater would have half drowned Li Yun.
Even so,
It took him quite a while to recover from the dizziness.
Thinking back on that string of shocking events, he was dumbfounded. He had no idea what to say.
"This is... too damn bizarre!"
"It's completely ridiculous. Seriously."
Li Yun kept grumbling, but a smile crept across his face all the same.
Whatever else had happened, the Gate of Myriad Wonders had escaped the notice of the Blood God Cult and
