Chapter 2665 - 26: Owe Me, Remember Me, Repay Me (3)

The Young Pavilion Master of Lingxiao Pavilion stood within the cloud carriage. A veil of light gauze covered the face, an immortal beauty soaring.

Meanwhile, the True Man of the Age, Ye Lingxiao, leaped into the high sky, the whole person enveloped in a roaring aura, charging straight towards the Sky Sloth Wilderness, towards the words "South Heaven".

In the distance, the calls of Marquis Yingyong were already audible, while the Annihilation Thunder Army, one of the Qi Nine Soldiers, surged forth like a great tide.

And the whole of Wu An City continued to steadily dispatch troops outward.

A race war, unexpected by all, suddenly erupted on the Wunan Battlefield.

In this battle, the Human Race fielded a main force of ten thousand Annihilation Thunder Army, three hundred Cangtu Divine Cavalry, two hundred Marquis Wu’an’s guards... and forty thousand county soldiers of Qi Country.

True Men, Ye Lingxiao, Helian Xiaohu, Wenren Shen.

True Monarchs, Zuo Xiao! Jiang Mengxiong!

Blood was shed before the heavens could cool!

...

...

At this time, Jiang Wang was completely unaware of the scale of the great war initiated in the Hell World because of him.

He alone climbed over the snowy, silent wilderness, climbing back into the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains. At this moment, he was cautiously traversing the mountain forests, silently leaping through gaps in the demon clan’s sight, evading the demon clan warriors he could completely sweep away.

The great demon city standing outside Frost Wind Valley cut off his return path. However, the Monster Realm was vast, the Civilization Basin so expansive, the borderlines between the two races so long, and the battlefields between them so numerous, that he did not believe there was no place for his vitality.

Life is nothing but a forward journey, yesterday leading to today, today leading to tomorrow.

If this road is impassable, then go along that road.

In his experience, the word ’give up’ did not exist.

Of course, the current situation was indeed dire.

First, the injuries were hard to heal; secondly, language barriers; thirdly, the path home was severed; finally, there was a lack of intelligence.

Aside from the simple map drawn by those two little monsters earlier, and aside from this small area on the map, he knew nothing about the other places in the demon clan territory.

Exploring the map in enemy territory with a flesh body was, in itself, the most perilous choice.

He had fought wars and knew that clearing those fogs of war environments often came at the cost of scouts’ lives.

Many little monster teams were driven into the deeper parts of the mountains.

Jiang Wang calmly observed the war preparations of the demon clan warriors, watching them chop wood to build carts, weave vines into nets, craft arrows from bamboo... watching them gather various toxins, create poison barrels, and onsite poison bundles of arrows. He also watched them set up large formations on the mountains.

Apart from gaining some understanding of the demon clan’s army, the most significant gain was that the pronunciation of the various military commands by these demon clan warriors was quite consistent and relatively easy to understand, thus greatly enriching his demon language vocabulary.

The formations of the demon clan seemed simpler compared to human race formations, more aligned with the terrain, possessing a sense of direct authenticity. Of course, given Jiang Wang’s understanding of formations, he could not discern much more.

Before the demon clan’s large formation took shape, he had already withdrawn far beyond the formation’s coverage range.

At some moment, those demon clan warriors entering the mountains seemed to have received some command, hurriedly ended the setup of the large formation, and began to retract in an organized fashion—he did not dare to follow and observe but instead walked in the opposite direction, deeper into the mountains.

A battlefield with True Monsters in charge was not where he could take risks.

His physical and mental state also did not permit him to charge through the Sky Sloth Wilderness again.

Jiang Wang, fully on alert, discreetly tailed a squad of little monsters undertaking a mission into the mountains.

As he passed by a tree marked with a thorned flower imprint, Jiang Wang casually erased it, leaving behind a rough beast claw mark, disguising it as an evil beast’s damage.

While having these little monsters help clear the path, he observed their living habits, learned their language, and contemplated a breakthrough strategy.

Like a wandering spirit in the forest, it was not a long-term plan. Continuously maneuvering through the gaps in the demon clan’s sight was tantamount to dancing on the knife’s edge... Humans, after all, have moments of distraction, moments of error. But precisely within the demon clan territory, there was no room for mistakes.

Both intelligence issues and injury issues needed urgent resolution.

What was the way out?

What should be done?

Roar!

While pondering, suddenly a monstrous roar echoed through the forest.

A giant black bear burst from the front, crushing countless trees, startling the demon clan bounty squad before him into scattering. It swept across with a foul wind, and without any coincidence, rolled right towards Jiang Wang!

This bear was at least three zhang high and two zhang wide, rolling over like a wall, leaving no room for evasion.

Jiang Wang glared upwards.

In an instant, the foul wind and ferocity vanished; the black bear immediately restrained its fangs, sat down with a thump, raising dust and leaves in droves. Its bear eyes wide, its bear paws obediently placed on its belly, looking adorably innocent.

But Jiang Wang’s mood sank downward...

He was discovered!
