Book 4: Near Blood - Chapter 141: An Ih (1/2)

Withered Leaf Gorge

While Iron Cliff was still racking his brains over how he could convince the Cliff Race at Hurricane Canyon, the Heavenly Might Battalion had already advanced to the Withered Leaf Gorge

This place was next to the western stretch of the Blood and Iron Country Because they needed to hunt a ton of Deht Battalion had taken a detour here as it also bordered the Beast Race’s territory,that Demonic Beasts ran rampant here

Unlike humans who kne to tae and no need to do so And since there was no dee numbers of beasts would enter this territory every year

Another difference co a natural stronghold, the western stretches of the region were completely open, where even the weakest beast could cross the border This was another reason why so many Demonic Beasts would appear here

By the sa, the Ferocious Race didn’t really have a western border This was a place where beasts and Ferocious Race individuals lived together

In this kind of a place, there was no organization or structure It was governed by the si survived and the weak died

This was the third theoretical path that they could take Froh the Beast Race’s territory and re-enter human territory from the other side However, this path was actually not a path; the Heavenly Might Battalion would rather go through the Stor through it a little was fine, but going straight through was equivalent to co suicide

As such, the most direct path was also the one that was impossible to take Because they knew this, the Ferocious Race didn’t station roups here And even if they did, it wouldn’t have been very effective — the territory was just too large

The Withered Leaf Gorge was a se located in this chaotic place It was the only dent in the entire desolate wasteland, and it wasn’t even really a gorge; it was just a pit sandwiched between two hills Even so, it was this s the humans that the Ferocious Race had been chased for the past half year or so

At thiscloser and closer to this area

Behind this group of hue as a hill One was a two-headed gorilla roughly a hundred feet tall with its heads cracked wide open, while the other was a Three-Horned Sword Rhinoceros This latter beast was incredibly strong, and the spikes on its back rose high into the sky The scales on its body had been peeled off and its three horns broken

There were two people standing at the top of Withered Leaf Gorge They were Li Chongshan and shi+ Kaihuang

When the group reached the gorge, one of the captains flew up to the top of Withered Leaf Gorge and greeted Li Chongshan and shi+ Kaihuang by koing to them “General, we have returned We did not betray your trust and ed to hunt one Black Mountain Gorilla and one Three-Horned Sword Rhinoceros”

“I saw Well done,” Li Chongshan said faintly

shi+ Kaihuang asked, “How many casualties?”

The captain replied, “One person died, and four were seriously wounded”

shi+ Kaihuang frowned “You are a captain, and this was just a nor exercise, but you still suffered from casualties At this point in time, every loss is a serious one since we have no way of recouping them This is your fault and came about because of your inability to properly lead your troops Go back and receive ten lashes”
