The Night-Curtain Eagle was shockingly fast. It did not take them too long to reach the Nanling Mountains.
”We are currently in the White Magic Falcons' territory. Luckily, my eagle shares the same lineage. We won't have much trouble flying across their territory,” Nighthawk said while pointing at the mountains that were covered in dense trees below.
”We should be very close to them,” Lingling said.
Mo Fan observed the pitch-black mountains. He was able to see clearer with his Shadow Element.

The canopy layer of the palm forest was a favorable habitat for flying creatures. Many demon creatures hid their nests in the thick canopy, allowing flocks of flying creatures to soar into the sky and form a huge net to defend their territory when necessary.
The middle of the palm forest was a swamp, and the trees had long been soaked in it. The water was not deep, barely reaching the ankles of a person. The clear water was flowing slowly. It looked like the forest was growing out of the surface of a lake under the moonlight. The surface of the water was glittering like crystals.
The forest was deadly silent. A hellish hound with a menacing aura walked past, and the little creatures in the area immediately fled for their lives in panic.
”Lian Xishan, are you sure this is the right place?” Houndman asked impatiently.
”Of course, we already discovered this place when we were searching for the Totem Beast. According to the man, this is where the Totem Beast lives, but for some reason, he suddenly decided to leave. He's always been a strange man,” the man called Lian Xishan said confidently.
”I also think this is the place we have been looking for,” Ke Lingxi of the Research Union said.
Many species had their own living habits. Ke Lingxi had only learned there was such a unique forest in Nanling Mountains a little while ago.
Moths preferred to live in woods with a readily-available source of water. Ke Lingxi believed the place was perfect for the Moon Moth Phoenix to fall into a deep slumber!
”This place isn't very big, we should be able to find it quite easily. You two, go up to the canopy and look around, the rest of us will be heading in this direction,” Zeng Guanglie said.
The group began to split up. Some time later, the Dreadful Curse Hell Hound started sniffing, as if it had picked up a scent.
”This way,” the Houndman told the others after receiving his Summoned Beast's hint.
The group immediately followed the Dreadful Curse Hell Hound. They soon discovered a spacious pond that did not have many trees in it. The water was still enough to reflect the starry night sky, unbelievably stunning.
An oval cocoon was hanging above the center of the spacious pond. They could see its shadow on the surface of the pond. Houndman, Ke Lingxi, Zeng Guanglie, and the others held their breaths upon seeing the cocoon. Their faces were soon brimming with joy!
They found it! They actually found it!
