w opens up.”

The rises and falls of these mountains were extremely steep, and every time they crossed a ridge, they had to travel across a canyon.
Zhao Manyan felt uneasy whenever he was surrounded by the mountain walls.

A piercing cry suddenly sounded above them.

The group cautiously halted in their tracks.
They lifted their eyes and looked around sharply.

In front of them stood a peak separated from a huge mountain wall.
It was almost tall enough to reach the clouds.
The group found it hard to see its top.

A long-tailed bird covered in golden-blue feathers perched on a rock sticking out of the peak.
Its feathers were perfectly smooth, without a single ripple despite the strong wind blowing at it, as if the creature was wearing gleaming gold-blue armor.
The special lines of the feathers formed an elegant curve from the creature’s neck to its tail.

The golden-blue creature on the rock was staring down at the group with a noble, imperious bearing!

“It…it saw us!” Zhao Manyan blurted out.

“I can see that!” Mo Fan snapped.

“What do we do now?” Bai Hongfei asked.

The creature’s level was obviously quite high, judging from its sacred golden-blue coloration and Aura, which slightly exceeded their group.
The group could not tell if they had accidentally trespassed into the creature’s territory.
They would be in great trouble if that was the case, since they were unable to use their spells properly in the limited space in the canyon.

“Stay calm, these high-level Winged Beasts usually treat height as the boundary of their territory.
It won’t trouble us as long as we stay below a certain altitude,” Zhang Xiaohou said calmly.

“Are you sure? Aren’t all demon creatures hostile toward humans?” Ling Fei asked.

“We can just walk past it slowly.
Don’t look at it.
In their eyes, outsiders, including humans like us, are just some lowly creatures.
We should withdraw our Auras and try not to alarm it,” Zhang Xiaohou replied.

“Humph, lowly creatures? It doesn’t look that strong to me, either! Perhaps it can’t even endure a single breath from my Great Lesser Earth Dragon!” Li Dexin exclaimed.

“Stop bringing us trouble, do you want to rescue your target or not? Why do I feel like you are here just to stir up trouble instead?” Zhao Manyan grumbled loudly.

The group made their way past the peak the Golden-Blue Sparrowhawk was standing on without provoking it.

The Golden-Blue Sparrowhawk kept staring at them, but as Zhang Xiaohou had told them, it was simply glancing down at a few weaklings.
It had no intention to attack them.
It had an indifferent look as it watched the group of lowly creatures walking through the canyon like a bunch of monkeys, observing them until they slowly faded into the distance.

Bai Hongfei could not help but ask after they left the Golden-Blue Sparrowhawk’s view, “What level was that creature?”

“Judging from the altitude it was keeping, it was at least a Great Commander-level creature,” Zhang Xiaohou told him.

“Great Commander-level… it’s not really that strong.”

“If the Wind of Sorrow is blowing, Winged Beasts are two or three times stronger than usual.
They might only be Great Commander-level creatures when we aren’t in the Qinling Mountains.
However, if we are in the Qinling Mountains, they are still a threat to us! Besides, there’s more than one around here!” Zhang Xiaohou pointed out.
