Sudden Upheaval at the Five Peaks, Signs of the Demon Race Again
As the night passed, the Third Tier Stone Disc Turtle Demon Beast returned to the lake below before the "Golden Crow Sun" rose.
After seeing the situation of the Third Tier Stone Disc Turtle Demon Beast, Kong Wenxuan did not linger at the second alternative location. He and his uncle Kong Yushuo boarded the "Feather Boat" and continued flying towards the third alternative location.
This time, the "Feather Boat" flew more than 2,000 miles and took three days to reach the third alternative location.
In other words, this third alternative location is more than 6,000 li (approximately 3,000 to 7,000 kilometers) away from "Demon-Suppressing Pass".
Even if one were to travel by "Feather Boat," it would probably take five or six days to reach "Demon-Suppressing Pass," and a round trip would take more than ten days.
If a road were to be built through these mountains so that caravans could travel by land, a round trip would likely take more than a month, almost two months.
However, if you were to travel from here to Bifang Commandery City, it would be even further and would take even longer.
"The distance is quite far, which is a disadvantage for the Lineage's initial development. However, if the Lineage can persevere here, develop this place, and continue to expand outwards in the future, the distance will turn into a good thing!"
Kong Wenxuan considered various options and made a decision regarding this third alternative location.
As the "Feather Boat" continued forward and gradually approached the third alternative location, Kong Wenxuan could see five mountain peaks standing in front of him in the distance.
The five mountain peaks are not exactly in the five cardinal directions; they appear somewhat tilted. However, these are minor issues. If we can capture this area, we can make adjustments based on the positions of these peaks when setting up the formation later.
It would be very difficult to find a more suitable place to set up the Five Elements Formation in these southern mountains.
However, as the "Feather Boat" gradually approached the five mountain peaks ahead, Kong Wenxuan suddenly smelled a strong stench of blood, which drifted in with the mountain wind.
Something seems wrong!
Uncle Kong Yushuo had obviously also noticed the problem, and immediately stopped the flying "Feather Boat" from continuing to fly towards the five mountain peaks ahead.
"Nephew Wenxuan, can you smell blood?"
The uncle did not turn around, but kept his eyes fixed on the direction of the five mountain peaks, and asked Kong Wenxuan.
"I can smell it!" Kong Wenxuan, gazing towards the Five Peaks, said in a deep voice, "It's coming from the direction of those five peaks."
"Something must have happened there," said Uncle Kong Yushuo, lowering the "Feather Boat" to the ground. He said in a deep voice, "The last time I came here, the Five Peaks were teeming with demonic Demon Beast and birds. These Demon Beast and birds were fighting and killing each other for various spiritual objects and resources. It was quite a lively scene."
"From afar, one could hear the cries of various birds and beasts, and even see some demonic birds circling in the air, occasionally swooping down."
"Unlike now, it's not as quiet, and there's not such a strong smell of blood."
"Something's definitely happened up ahead, my nephew Wenxuan. What do you think we should do now? Should we continue forward to get closer and investigate, or should we retreat?"
Uncle Kong Yushuo said, then asked Kong Wenxuan for his opinion.
Kong Wenxuan frowned, pondered for a moment, and said, "Let's carefully approach and investigate; at least we need to find out what happened."
The uncle nodded in agreement.
Therefore, the two did not continue flying in the sky in their "Feather Boat," but instead approached stealthily from the ground. At the same time, both of them used illusion techniques to conceal their figures. (Currently reading Chapter 122, "The Five Peaks Undergo Shock, and Demon Race Appear Again" (Please Subscribe), completely engrossed in the story.)
The two were only a few dozen miles away from the Five Peaks ahead. If they were to travel by "Feather Boat" through the air, they would arrive in no time. However, traveling on the ground required them to use illusion magic to conceal themselves, to move cautiously and stealthily, and to constantly observe their surroundings to avoid any accidents. Therefore, their speed was much slower.
The two carefully traveled for nearly an hour, covering a distance of several dozen miles, before finally arriving near the Five Peaks.
Upon reaching Zhili, the stench of blood became even stronger.
The two carefully chose a slightly higher peak nearby, crept up, and surveyed the surrounding area of the five peaks.
Around the five mountain peaks, especially around the central "Flying Peak," a large number of corpses were scattered everywhere, including the corpses of many Demon Beast and cultivators.
At this moment, some Demon Beast and birds were carrying these corpses, whether they were Demon Beast corpses or cultivator corpses, towards the "Flying Peak" located in the middle.
The "Flying Peak" in the middle was quiet at this time, and there was no powerful aura or force erupting or covering the surroundings. However, the Demon Beast and birds obediently carried the corpses into it, and not a single Demon Beast or bird even ate a single corpse!
This, in turn, makes the "Flying Peak" in the middle look even more terrifying.
"There are likely Demon Race living on ' Flying Peak,' and they are at least Third Tier Demon Race!"
Only the Demon Race can suppress and command these Demon Beast and birds, making them restrain their urge to devour flesh and blood, and send the corpses of those Demon Beast and cultivators into "Flying Peak".
Moreover, among these demonic Demon Beast and birds carrying corpses, Kong Wenxuan even spotted two Third Tier Demon Beast.
Therefore, he judged that the Demon Race in "Flying Peak" were at least Third Tier Demon Race.
"The situation here is beyond our control. Let's go back and report the information about the Demon Race here, and see how the Ya Household handles it."
Kong Wenxuan continued to transmit the message to his uncle.
"Good!" The eldest uncle, still shaken, transmitted his voice, "I never expected that ' Flying Peak ' could attract Demon Race. I wonder what good things are inside."
"Fortunately, I didn't encounter this Demon Race during my previous scouting trips, otherwise I probably would have ended up as a corpse, sent to ' Flying Peak ' as well."
The two exchanged a few words telepathically, but didn't dare linger there. After all, no one knew what abilities the Demon Race in "Flying Peak" possessed, or whether they would discover them, so it was best to retreat as soon as possible.
The two continued their stealthy advance, using illusion magic to conceal themselves, and slowly made their way back the way they had come.
They carefully and stealthily traveled for over a hundred miles, avoiding any encounters with Demon Beast or birds along the way, daring not to make any contact, let alone engage in combat or create any disturbance.
Only after retreating a hundred miles away, estimating that they would no longer disturb the Demon Race on "Flying Peak," did Uncle Kong Yushuo once again summon the "Feather Boat." The two boarded the "Feather Boat Feather Boat" again and piloted it towards "Demon-Suppressing Pass."
Of course, they still used illusion magic to conceal the "Feather Boat" along the way, and lowered their altitude, flying and moving forward cautiously.
They didn't linger along the way. When they encountered groups of Demon Beast, demonic birds, or other cultivators, they simply went around them without engaging in any trouble.
Thus, after resting four times along the way, it took five days to fly back to "Demon-Suppressing Pass".
