Chapter 208: Secretary Comes Out of Seclusion, Opportunity to Offer Treasure

~17 min read 3,321 words

Don't say, the Does Does Da Xia crowd really hadn't seen flying cold beasts.

Thinking about it, it's normal. Does Does Da Xia itself is located at the bottom of the valley. The Seeing Hong Mu Ridge in the west, the Pingxi Plain in the north, including the Yinghe River in the south, this large area is all located at the bottom of the valley on the west side of Shuanglong Mountain, which is likely a basin.

Flying cold beasts live at high altitudes, or at least in areas like mountain tops. The terrain where Does Does Da Xia is located determines that they will rarely encounter them.

I don't know why today, one accidentally broke in.

"What are you panicking about? Are the bows on your backs for nothing!"

"Draw bows and pull arrows, prepare!"

"Don't daze off for me, hurry and get the tools, work!"

Although it was the first time seeing it, the instinct cultivated by long-term hunting still made Luo Yuan, Xu Ning, Lin Kai, and Lu Yang react immediately.

As soon as the four spoke, the two hundred hunting team members who had just gathered at the wooden building all quickly took out iron-backed bows from behind, nocked arrows, and raised their heads to stare at the raptor flying from the sky.

"Screech…………"

At the same time, another high-pitched and sharp cry sounded, and the distance between that dark shadow and the top of the wooden building was less than two hundred meters.

Although it was night, with the reflection of the wooden building's firelight, plus the giant size of the bird, everyone below easily saw its appearance clearly.

Although the bird was pitch black, the feathers on its body were distinct under the refraction of moonlight and snowflakes, emitting a layer of dark, flowing light. And because of the current diving attack posture, the feathers were slightly erected, like sharp daggers with exposed edges;

It had a sharp and super-long curved beak. When it opened its mouth to make a cry, it revealed a mouth full of dense, sharp, and long fangs, and a pair of scarlet pupils were full of fierce light and violence;

Its wings were spread, and its body size was nearly five zhang wide. Two extremely sturdy lower limbs, three meters high, combined with a pair of giant steel claws like iron hooks at the end, appeared incomparably ferocious.

"This should be an intermediate cold beast of the flying bird type. If it can be taken down, it will be the first kill. Let's see who has the ability. Brothers, greet it with bows and arrows!"

Luo Yuan was not afraid at all, but immediately realized that this might be a great opportunity for a first kill, and his eyes lit up instantly.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

As soon as his voice fell, the fifty members of the Tiger Leopard team around him immediately released the bowstrings, and dozens of iron arrows whistled toward that bird instantly.

Of course, it wasn't just him. Xu Ning, Lu Yang, and Lin Kai, as well as the members of the three teams they led, also reacted at this moment.

They all quickly dispersed on one side of the wooden building and quickly shot arrows toward the sky.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

A dense rain of arrows flew from the ground to the sky in an instant.

Just the huge sound of hundreds of bowstrings being released at the same time was enough to make Xiang Liang and the five or six thousand people below widen their pupils and hold their breath.

Whoosh...

However, just as all the iron arrows broke through the air and were about to hit the target.

That bird suddenly waved its wings rapidly.

Two gusts of wind whistled out from the wings instantly, not only sweeping away most of the iron arrows shot by the two hundred people on the ground but even forming two thick white swirling air waves.

That white was snowflakes.

The snowflakes in the Frozen Abyss World were all as big as a palm.

Swept by the gust of wind fanned by the bird's wings, the snowflakes condensed rapidly, which was the effect of the two white swirling air waves.

Whoosh... whoosh... whoosh...

No, not just that.

Those two air waves actually blew from mid-air directly to the ground.

And the target was exactly the two hundred or so people who shot arrows.

Boom...

The air wave struck, the violent force collided with the ground, and with a boom, more than half of the two hundred people were instantly blown away. Although there were still over a hundred people who could stand firm, their posture looked very reluctant, and wanting to pull the bow and shoot arrows again was clearly impossible.

"This evil beast, just the wind fanned by its wings is so strong!"

Luo Yuan's body retreated several meters, a look of horror appearing on his face.

"Intermediate cold beast, it's normal for its strength to be above ours, but from two hundred meters away, just the gust of wind fanned by its wings can push us back..."

"It should be its innate supernatural power, the same as other cold beasts."

"The force contained in this gust of wind is estimated to be seventy or eighty thousand, the key is that the range is too wide after colliding with the ground, and the destructive power is amazing!"

Unlike others, Luo Yuan, Xu Ning, Lin Kai, and Lu Yang, the four of them could not only pull up their long bows and aim at the sky again but also extract time to talk.

"Everyone else has come, I'm afraid this first kill won't be our turn."

Lu Yang turned his head, saw people rushing toward the main building from all directions, shook his head, and spoke with helplessness.

"New gadget, haven't seen it before, hurry and greet it, brothers!"

"Flying in the sky, it's really the first time seeing it, can only use bows."

"Shoot arrows, shoot arrows, what are you dazing off for?"

Dozens of voices sounded one after another, and more than a thousand people gathered around the wooden building instantly. Countless iron arrows flew toward the sky, and as time went on, people kept rushing over here.

The people who rushed over didn't even ask what was happening, and the first thing they did was take out long bows to aim at the bird in the sky and start shooting arrows.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

"Rain of arrows, this is the real rain of arrows..."

"This Does Does Da Xia, how many Earth-Digging Realms are there? How can there be so many?"

"Thousands, not only that, more people are coming, so many..."

"Look at them, the worst they are wearing is iron armor, and there are many wearing gold armor, gulp..."

"More people are coming, fifteen hundred, not only that, almost two thousand..."

At this very moment, what shocked the five or six thousand people from the four camps of Flying Tiger most was not the dense rain of arrows before their eyes, but the massive amount of hunting team members rushing from all directions.

They originally thought that the things that entered the camp and walked to the wooden building were Does Does Da Xia's entire strength.

Only at this moment did they truly realize that what they saw just now was just the tip of the iceberg of Does Does Da Xia.

At this moment, they even forgot about the bird in the sky, their gazes all focused on the Does Does Da Xia hunting team members around them, their faces dazed, their expressions numb.

"Over two thousand, at least over two thousand, how can Does Does Da Xia have so many Earth-Digging Realms..."

Xiang Liang looked around at the crowd, looking at the Does Does Da Xia Earth-Digging Realms who were almost catching up to half of them, only feeling that his throat was blocked by something, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.

In the crowd, his father Xiang Ping was also dumbfounded at this moment, his heart left only with horror and numbness.

The shock of Xiang Liang and the five or six thousand people, let's not mention it for now.

That bird in the sky had almost been buried by the rain of arrows.

Although the gust of wind fanned by its wings was very strong, it couldn't stand the iron arrows, which were really too many, and the range was wide, covering almost its entire body.

Although most of the iron arrows were fanned away by it, many still inserted into its feathers. It was unclear whether they penetrated the flesh, but judging from the slowing speed of its wing waving, the influence on it was clearly not small.

It stands to reason that by this point, the bird should have flown away.

"Screech…………"

However, after a higher-pitched and angry cry, it, which had been circling in mid-air, suddenly spread its wings and dived toward the main building.

"What big guts!"

"Daring to rush down."

"Disperse, continue to greet it, can't let it get close to the main building."

Luo Yuan and the captains of the intermediate hunting teams, seeing the bird diving toward the wooden building, their expressions were instantly furious. First, they greeted everyone to continue shooting arrows, and then they threw away the long bows in their hands and drew their respective weapons, rushing toward the wooden building.

After all, it was a bird with the ability to fly in the air. The best way to hurt it was still a bow, but since it was rushing down regardless of its life, such a good opportunity, Luo Yuan and the others naturally wouldn't miss it.

Besides, how important was the wooden building.

Especially the top floor, that was the place where the leader was in seclusion to practice.

Everyone naturally wouldn't let this evil beast get close.

"All retreat!"

However, Luo Yuan and the others had just approached the wooden building.

A sharp voice came from upstairs.

Whoosh...

Then, it was an iron arrow that suddenly pierced through the roof.

The sound of that iron arrow breaking through the air was extremely crisp and harsh, covering the sound of the iron arrows shot by the rest of the people below instantly.

Pfft... The arrow flew out, and it didn't even take a breath of time.

The crisp sound of the arrow head piercing through flesh and blood reached the ears of everyone below.

"Screech……"

The bird, which was just over ten meters away from the roof, this time's cry no longer had half of its previous ferocity, but was full of pain.

Even, it carried a trace of fear and panic.

Flap, flap...

It looked at the main building, its pupils condensed, and only after a breath, it seemed to realize something, and immediately flapped its wings in panic, quickly turning its direction to escape.

It was a pity, it was too close.

It had no chance anymore.

Whoosh...

A black human figure suddenly jumped high from the roof of the main building, instantly soaring to a high altitude of over ten meters, his figure overriding the bird.

Not a single error in the content at a glance!

That person was in a slim black tight suit. Although his face was very young, his eyebrows were incomparably sharp. He held a broad giant sword in his hand and slashed down at the bird's head in mid-air.

Whoosh...

The giant sword slashed down, not bringing out a sword edge, but a crushing force like thunder. The terrifying force made the snowflakes around it stagnate, and the sky above the entire wooden building seemed to stop for a moment.

Bang...

The bird, which was in a hurry to turn around, was slashed in the head, blood splashed, and its huge body staggered in mid-air, almost falling down headfirst.

"Screech…………"

The bird's cry no longer had half of its ferocity, only panic and fear remained.

It frantically shifted its body, flapped its wings, and jumped up to fly toward the high altitude.

"Want to run, is it that easy!"

Because everyone below had stopped shooting arrows, the sneer of the young man in black was transmitted to everyone's ears exceptionally clearly.

Everyone looked closely and discovered that when he slashed the broadsword with his right hand just now, his left hand had already grabbed the bird's neck.

"Ah..."

That person gave a violent shout, his left hand exerted force suddenly, and he actually forcibly pulled the bird that was flapping and rising into the air back.

Not only pulled it back, but also pulled that bird together and fell from the air.

Because the battle location was right above the main building, the man in black was worried that the fall would hit the roof, so he even shifted some direction and pulled the bird's body directly to the front of the main building.

Bang... bang... bang...

After landing, the young man in black threw away the broadsword in his hand, grabbed the bird's legs with both hands, and began a crazy devastation.

There was no fancy sword technique, nor did he need to pull a bow and nock an arrow like Luo Yuan and the others. The young man in black just grabbed the legs hard, left and right, and smashed the bird's huge body to the ground constantly.

"This person's strength, how terrifying is it..."

"That bird, was it just unable to fly?"

"What unable to fly, it couldn't even flap."

"Already out of breath, right?"

"Gulp..."

The five or six thousand people from the four camps of Flying Tiger just watched as the bird completely stopped breathing in the hands of the young man in black, without even being able to let out a miserable howl.

"Leader, this must be the leader of Does Does Da Xia..."

Xiang Liang looked at the young man in black, with full respect and worship in his eyes.

Too strong!

An intermediate cold beast that could fly, just now so many people shooting arrows were useless.

And the young man in black, without using five minutes in the whole process, solved it.

Is this the leader of Does Does Da Xia?

Too strong, this is also too strong!

However, the next second, the words spoken by many Does Does Da Xia people.

Made Xiang Liang's expression freeze instantly.

"Secretary lord is mighty!"

"Lord Director Yu Wen has also come out of seclusion, hahaha, amazing!"

"Congratulations to Secretary lord for breaking through."

This person was actually not the leader!

Secretary?

Even, not even the Secretary?

Gulp...

Xiang Liang looked at the man in black, widened his pupils, and his face was full of disbelief.

The man in black, that is, Director Yu Wen Tao, seeing that the bird had no breath, also showed a hint of excitement in his pupils. After a long time, he put down the bird's legs, turned back to look at the group of people who were congratulating him outside the main building, and showed a smile:

"Hehe, work harder, you are almost there too..."

Looking at the five or six thousand people in the middle in front of the main building, and then looking at Xu Ning and Lin Kai and the group beside them, he immediately realized something and said with a smile: "Not bad, Xu Ning, so many people at once, you will be credited with another great contribution."

Xu Ning immediately walked up and smiled hehe: "Thank you for your auspicious words, my lord."

"Five or six thousand people, over a hundred Earth-Digging Realm captives, just the contribution value is two or three hundred thousand. I remember there are twelve teams stationed in Wuyuan, you guys made a big profit this time!"

The smiles on the faces of Xu Ning and Lin Kai and the four became even richer.

"Don't talk nonsense, clean up the ground, Director Yu Wen Tao, Xu Ning, Lin Kai, Lu Yang, all come up!"

Just at this time, the clear voice from before came from the third floor again.

Director Yu Wen Tao below heard the sound and immediately stopped chatting, took Lin Kai, Lu Yang, and Xu Ning, and walked up to the third floor together.

Xiang Liang stood in place, raising his head to look at the third floor, full of curiosity.

The owner of this clear voice, his status should be above this black-clothed Secretary Director Yu Wen Tao, is it that Secretary they mentioned before, or the leader of the Does Does Da Xia camp?

"By the way, you come up with me too, bring the thing!"

Just as Xiang Liang was thinking, he was suddenly pulled by someone beside him. Raising his head, he discovered that Xu Ning in front of the wooden building was pointing at him with his finger.

Realizing that Xu Ning was calling him up, Xiang Liang showed a hint of excitement on his face, hurriedly gripped the wooden box in his hand, rushed out of the crowd, and ran over.

"Who is this person?"

Director Yu Wen Tao led the four and walked up the wooden stairs together. Just as they were about to reach the third floor, looking at Xiang Liang who followed, he asked curiously.

Xu Ning hurriedly answered: "He is named Xiang Liang, from the four families north of Wuyuan Mountain. He has something in his hand that is not bad, saying he wants to offer it to the leader. I have seen that thing, it is indeed a treasure, so I brought him to see the lord first."

"Offer to the leader?"

A hint of strangeness appeared in Director Yu Wen Tao's eyes, and he nodded without saying much.

Xiang Liang behind was excited, realizing that he was likely to see the Does Does Da Xia leader.

Of course, he didn't forget to cast a grateful look at Xu Ning.

Xu Ning was willing to give him the opportunity to offer treasure in person, this favor was not small.

Xiang Liang lowered his head and followed the four respectfully, walked down the wooden ladder to the third floor, came directly to the porch, walked along the porch for a while, and came to the front of a vermilion gate.

The gate was wide open. Xiang Liang, who was lowering his head, could only see the gorgeous wooden floor carved with beast patterns. Realizing that there were big figures inside, he didn't dare to raise his head.

"You wait here for a while, I'll call you later, then you come in."

"Yes, my lord!"

Xiang Liang answered respectfully. Only after Xu Ning and the others went in did he dare to raise his head slightly and curiously peek into the vermilion gate.

At this look, his previous worldview collapsed again instantly.

A majestic and solemn hall came into view, a magnificent golden roof; statues of cold beasts of various shapes; eight solemn and majestic golden load-bearing pillars; dozens of beast-shaped coal stoves made of pure iron; and that giant three-legged round tripod in the center...

Everything he saw made Xiang Liang's soul suffer a great shock. He was a bit dazed, and his inferiority also climbed to the extreme instantly.

He couldn't see the situation in the back of the hall clearly, could only see five figures chatting there, and couldn't hear the sound clearly, just holding the wooden box in his hand, waiting apprehensively.

"You can come in!"

Finally, half an hour later, Xu Ning's shout came from inside the hall.

Xiang Liang's body shook slightly, first straightened his messy beast skin clothes, then walked slowly across the threshold, and stepped into the hall nervously.

"This is my only chance, must grasp it well."

Looking at the wooden box in his hand, Xiang Liang took a deep breath and continued to walk inside.
