Chapter Four – Death Corridor

When Aofeng said this, the members of the alliance agreed with tremendous zeal.

They held a grudge against the Lan Family, and Aofeng's request was one they all desired. There was no “help” to speak of. If possible, these people wanted to teach the Lan Family a lesson. However, the four families had great reputations and far reaching influence. Whether or not the alliance had the power was a secondary matter, if they wounded a main branch family member, and angered the family as a result, it would be troublesome.

However, stealing magic beasts was a different matter.

We didn't really wound anyone, we also swept clean the magic beast obstacles on the way for you. You should thank us, how can you attack us? Also, the magic beasts within Death Ridge don't belong to you. They belong to those able. We will do as we please! If you cannot get them, then it is because you do not have the ability. If you have the ability, come steal ours!

Just based on the Lan Family's goal, stealing their magic beasts would be more infuriating than fighting them head-on. The alliance was a collection of rabble and were not able to compete against the Lan Family directly. However, they saw hope with Aofeng, a regent beast tamer. If the fifty-plus magisters in the alliance all got new magus beasts, how could the four families beat them?

When they thought of this, their gazes became even more heated. All the magisters in the group forming a sacred beast army. A master beast tamer would need a lot of time to tame sacred beasts. Who, except a regent beast tamer, would dare to say they could create one quickly?

Aofeng confidently looked around, her black eyes bright as she shouted, “Steal their magic beasts, steal their dragon egg, and even the Candia Giant Dragon! Teach them that the Freedom Alliance is not one to be bullied!”

“Yes! We will not be bullied!”

“Grand Commander, we will follow you and rob them blind!”

The alliance's blood heated up as they raised their right fists in excitement and shouted.

Lei Yufeng looked in wonder and praise at Aofeng's confident appearance. A certain part of his heart beat rapidly. He admired Aofeng's ability to unite the people. Even he would not be able to get these people to follow him on such a mission so faithfully. Through a few words, Aofeng had stirred their spirits. He had to admire it.

From this moment onwards, the people in the alliance truly thought of Aofeng as the true commander of the alliance. The term “Grand Commander” would continue. No matter how famous Aofeng became in the future or how many other t.i.tles she received on the continent, the people who partic.i.p.ated in this operation always called Aofeng “Grand Commander.”

“Depart!” Aofeng smiled faintly and stopped adding fuel to the fire. She went forward first, leading people along the path from yesterday into Death Ridge. They began this dangerous journey.

Because everyone frequently adventured in the forest, experienced and strong, they were quick. No one fell behind on the path, not even the relatively weaker women. The road was as Aofeng said, no magic beasts had dared to linger after Oslin's super-divine beast aura. They pa.s.sed safely through.

As the sun set, they finally reached the entrance to the Death Corridor after a day of rus.h.i.+ng through the perimeter of Death Ridge.

Aofeng took a deep breath, her emotions surging. The scene in front of her was so vast and magnificent!

Two prominent cliffs formed an enormous arch with a wide path in the middle that stretched to the endless distance. The pa.s.sageway was so vast that people were like ants under this roar. When one looked towards the other cliff from the base of another cliff, the cliff was actually blurry.

This here was the core of Death Ridge. Pa.s.sing through Death Corridor lead to divergent mountain valleys that held all kinds of high level magic beasts. Some valleys were shallow, others deep. In one of the nearby large valleys was the giant dragon Candia's nest.

Usually, the deeper the mountain valley, the higher the level of the divine beast that resided in it. Even the Candia Giant Dragon who resided on the perimeter was seventh-star. Aofeng could not imagine how insane it was deeper inside. Tian Ya had once said magic beasts slightly weaker than Oslin desired to take over his position. Maybe there were also super-divine beasts. She did not have the ability to explore the depths at present.

Raising her head to look into the inky black sky where a bright clear moon hung, Aofeng said, “Let's set up camp here and rest. There is still a ways off to the dragon nest. Today, we should have caught up halfway to their group. Let's be on our guard night. Starting now, magic beasts will be appearing.”

“Yes, Grand Commander!” The adventurers of the alliance responded. The leader of each squad had at least a spatial ring for adventuring. They took out tents and other articles. The group set up camp with practiced skill and then spread a circle of giant dragon excrement around the camp. The excrement could ward against the attacks of some magic beasts.
