Chapter 68

Xie Juanhan led the Peryton back.

Telingewei and the other furry creatures were already in his hut.

Upon seeing the Peryton, the Companion Beast immediately stood up straight, their heads held high, and stared intently at the group.

Beware of fire, theft, and Peryton!

The little Griffin had just seen Peryton two days ago.

However, Xie Juanhan baked them delicious bread at that time, and its attention was entirely on the bread, so it didn't pay much attention to the Peryton.

Now, when it sees this herd of deer with eagle wings again, its eyes dart around, looking at both the Peryton's wings and Peryton bulging muscles.

"Awoo." The little Griffin licked its lips, looking at the Peryton with curiosity.

The Peryton paid no attention to the little creature, focusing only on their Companion Beast.

They also watched the little Demon Wolf.

A pack of Demon Wolf is a threat to them, but a half-grown cub is nothing.

They glanced at it once and then looked away.

In the courtyard.

The various furry creatures began to whimper softly, initially with their mouths open, but later turning into guttural sounds.

Xie Juanhan was talking to Telingewei about the magic berries.

Hearing a yard full of furry creatures whimpering, and seeing that a fight was about to break out, he didn't even turn his head. "Whoever fights will be punished with a week of cooked food."

Delicatessen!

Includes bread, cakes, ice cream, various cooked meats...

Upon hearing this, the Companion Beast immediately swallowed the threatening sounds in their throats, and their voices visibly became sweet and harmless.

The little Demon Wolf and the little Griffin obediently pricked up their ears and pretended nothing had happened as they walked down the corridor.

The men, including Peryton, were momentarily stunned by how quickly these guys changed their tune.

Xie Juanhan looked at the Peryton, "Would you like some honey water? I'll go make some for you."

The Peryton's auras immediately became harmless. "Aww."

Telingewei glanced at Peryton and the others.

The Peryton looked back with righteous indignation.

Xie Juanhan prepared honeydew infused with Dragon Power for the Peryton, and of course, he also prepared it for their Companion Beast, little Demon Wolf, and little Griffin.

All the creatures drank the sweet honeydew and were finally able to coexist peacefully.

Xie Juanhan inquired carefully about the magic berries from the Peryton and arranged for them to pick them the next morning.

Early the next morning.

The Peryton appeared in droves behind his hut, wanting to carry him to pick magic berries.

In front of the Peryton, Telingewei transformed into a giant dragon and carried Xie Juanhan on his back.

"If you want to carry them, you can help us carry the little Demon Wolf and the little Griffin," the dragon said.

The Peryton immediately snorted from their nostrils, "Awooo!"

Aside from the silver dragon, none of them wanted to carry it!

The dragon didn't say much to the Peryton, and simply carried the other furry creatures on its back.

Peryton and his men led the way.

They flew westward, until they reached the edge of the mountain range they had visited the day before.

This time they didn't stop; they flew straight up the mountain.

These snow-capped mountains stretch endlessly, one after another as you fly over them.

Even though the Peryton were plump and strong, they still found it difficult to fly over such snow-capped mountains.

They flew to the foot of another snow-capped mountain.

They were panting heavily, unable to fly any further.

Xie Juanhan to shield his Companion Beast, the little Demon Wolf, and the little Griffin.

The little ones lay obediently on the dragon's back, far less energetic than usual.

"The wind and water elements here are so chaotic." Xie Juanhan looked around and asked the Peryton, "Should we fly higher?"

Peryton: "Aww."

It means "more".

"Roar!"

The Peryton said that the magic berries grow on higher mountains.

They learned about the Demon Bird from the news they received and even saw the magical berries the Demon Bird carried.

Telingewei transformed back into human form to check on the little ones.

The Companion Beast seemed uncomfortable, constantly licking their noses.

Telingewei picked up a Companion Beast, examined its nose, then pried open its mouth to look inside, and whispered, "White nose, pale gums, it can't fly any higher."

Xie Juanhan imitated him as he looked at the little Demon Wolf.

The little Demon Wolf curled up obediently, but you could see that its black nose had become a little lighter in color, turning slightly gray.

Xie Juanhan examined its mouth.

The little guy's gums also lacked color.

The Companion Beast and the little Demon Wolf are all in poor condition.

The little Griffin, on the other hand, had round, bright eyes that were very lively. It wasn't afraid of the mountains at all; instead, it was full of longing.

It truly lives up to its reputation as Demonic Beast destined to soar through the skies.

Xie Juanhan looked at the little ones. "They really can't fly any higher. Let's send them down first."

Telingewei: "Okay."

Telingewei rarely looked at Peryton and his companions. "Can you still fly?"

The Peryton nodded obediently, "Aww."

Telingewei transformed into a dragon and flew down carrying his Companion Beast, the little Demon Wolf, and the little Griffin.

The Peryton followed behind them.

After descending several mountains, the little ones finally recovered.

Telingewei carried them to the relatively warmer valley and asked Xie Juanhan, "Should we leave them here while we go up and check on them?"

Xie Juanhan: "Let's go, we're already here."

He was also very curious about what exactly these magical berries, which only the Demon Bird could peck at, were all about.

Those are berries that even the mighty Peryton couldn't get their hands on.

See you tomorrow!

Chapter 68 [VIP]

Fierce clouds loomed over the precipitous cliffs.

The strong winds tore these clouds apart, sweeping away large swaths of mist, only to have new mist quickly take their place.

Xie Juanhan rode on the back of the giant dragon, his body pressed tightly against its.

They were rushing up the cliff at an almost vertical angle, hugging the edge.

Through the clouds, golden light shone brightly overhead, the intense sunlight illuminating the vast sea of clouds below.

The surroundings suddenly became quiet.

High altitude, low oxygen levels, and intense sun exposure.

Because it was high enough and spacious, the surroundings became quiet.

Xie Juanhan looked around.

They flew close to the snow-capped mountains, and actually flew into the sky.

"That's incredibly high." Xie Juanhan leaned against the dragon's neck, quietly looking down. "Unbelievable."

Skin to skin, their heartbeats seemed to merge into one.

Telingewei's voice rang out. "The Magic Mountain, legend says the gods dwell atop such a high mountain."

Xie Juanhan: "I see the arc at the bottom. This world is clearly a planet, and it doesn't seem to have any gods."

Telingewei: "The same as your hometown?"

Xie Juanhan hummed in agreement. "There are similarities. When I fly extremely high in my hometown, I can also see planets in the distance."

In his hometown, Xie Juanhan would occasionally fly high into the sky.

Despite having his clansmen, friends, and a series of social relationships in that time and space, he always felt an extreme loneliness welling up from his heart when he flew high in the sky.

It was as if the eternal, cold wind had been blowing from the depths of the starry sky, reaching the very core of his heart.

They were still high in the air, but he didn't feel it.

Xie Juanhan pressed his cheek against the dragon's scales, something filling his heart.

Take a moment to observe.

Xie Juanhan composed himself. "Ordinary Demon Bird certainly can't fly this high, and even the Peryton would have difficulty. I wonder what kind of creature could fly over such a high mountain and taste the legendary magic berries?"

From this height, they can see a hillside surrounded by snow-capped mountains.

Only the hillside still retains some greenery.

Most of the magic berries grow there.

Telingewei: "Some small birds? Or Demonic Beast that live in the snowy mountains?"

"It's possible," Xie Juanhan urged, hugging his neck. "Let's go down and take a look."

Telingewei: "Hold on tight."

Xie Juanhan hugged the giant dragon tightly.

He thought Telingewei would fly downwards.

Unexpectedly, at that moment, the dragon folded its wings, swooped down, and with a speed faster than its fall, tore through the clouds and hurtled toward the ground.

"!!!"

Xie Juanhan suddenly opened his eyes wide, pressed tightly against the dragon's body by the wind and gravity.

A thrilling and fun feeling swept over him.

Even after Telingewei reached the halfway point down the hillside, his heart was still pounding.

Telingewei transformed back into human form and took his hand. "How are you?"

"Exciting!" Xie Juanhan looked up at the clouds above, his eyes gleaming with anticipation. "When can we do it again?"

Telingewei: "Just the two of us?"

Xie Juanhan turned to look at him, raising an eyebrow with a smile, "Who else do you want to bring?"

"Nobody wants to take them," Telingewei said. "Harper and the others are too big for them; they need space."

Xie Juanhan gripped his hand tightly. "Who's giving whom space?"

Telingewei changed his tune. "They should give us space."

Xie Juanhan couldn't help but laugh.

The clouds above the snow-capped mountains were extremely violent and terrifying.

The hillside here is quiet and cool.

Looking up, they could still see a small patch of azure sky peeking out from the vortex in the middle of the clouds.

Xie Juanhan: "The magical elements here are so concentrated, it doesn't feel like we're in a snow-capped mountain at all."

Telingewei: "Perhaps due to the obstruction of the surrounding snow-capped mountains, magical elements flowed down the mountainside and converged here."

"I think so too." Xie Juanhan looked around. "I saw magic berries."

These berries grow on the hillside, but not in large numbers; there's often only one berry bush every few meters.

The berries are translucent, with a slight yellow tinge, and shimmer in the sunlight.

At first glance, they look like stars hidden in the grass.
