Chapter 384 - 190: Divine Abilities (6)

The three Iron Wolf Eagles before them each had a wingspan of over three meters. They had all been raised from fledglings by the Beast Tamers of the Great Yuan’s Beast Taming Hall.

If all three attacked at once, they could even threaten an expert at the Qi Sea Perfection realm.

They were truly priceless.

Mr. Du had fewer than ten such Iron Wolf Eagles under his command. Dispatching three just to seal off the valley and capture the Spiritual Monkey was sparing no expense.

One had to understand that within the Hundred Thousand Mountains, there were many other powerful birds of prey. The Iron Wolf Eagles had natural enemies, and the loss of even one would be a heart-wrenching blow to Mr. Du.

Furthermore, deploying too many Iron Wolf Eagles would attract the attention of the Turkic people.

The valley ahead was within the patrol range of Turkic sentries. The three Iron Wolf Eagles circling above might have already been noticed.

"General Wan, Commandery Princess, rest assured. We came here today, and we swear we won’t leave until we’ve captured the Spiritual Monkey."

Mo Shan vowed confidently.

"Uncles, you must be careful. Don’t let the Spiritual Monkey escape into Turkic territory. If they find it, catching it will become much more difficult."

Du Juan reminded them.

The Spiritual Monkey’s blood was priceless, comparable to Bone Marrow Cleansing Liquid. If the Turkic people discovered it, they would flock to it in droves.

At that point, even Mo Shan and his men would be in danger.

"Don’t worry. You two should head back first to avoid any unnecessary trouble."

Mo Shan nodded.

Du Juan and General Wan immediately left with their people. As they departed, they left behind a black whistle. The whistle was used to control the three Iron Wolf Eagles above and had been provided by a Beast Tamer from the Beast Taming Hall.

"Let’s go!"

Mo Shan put the whistle away and led his four men toward the valley ahead.

From their vantage point on the mountain, the valley didn’t look far. In reality, even charging on horseback, the winding path would take nearly an hour to traverse.

If the Iron Wolf Eagles weren’t keeping a constant watch on the Spiritual Monkey and trapping it in the valley, trying to catch it in the vast Hundred Thousand Mountains would be like finding a needle in a haystack.

"The Spiritual Monkey has a unique scent that attracts Iron Wolf Eagles. The evolution of every Iron Wolf Eagle in these mountains is linked to preying on Spiritual Monkeys. We need to move quickly. If the Turkic people spot us, or if we attract other Iron Wolf Eagles, we might not be able to get the monkey out even if we catch it."

Mo Shan instructed.

This was clearly directed at Chu Lingguang, who nodded slightly and committed the words to memory.

"The Spiritual Monkey is timid and cautious. At the slightest disturbance, it will find a place to hide. Its fur can change color to match its surroundings, so once it’s hidden, it’s almost impossible to spot with the naked eye. Even the Iron Wolf Eagles can only tell it’s still in the valley by its scent."

"Leave all the horses outside the valley. Once we’re inside, the four of us will be responsible for scaring the Spiritual Monkey out. Chu Lingguang, you will watch the Iron Wolf Eagles. Whichever way they fly is the direction the monkey is running. Keep us updated at all times."

Mo Shan said again.

"Yes!"

Chu Lingguang nodded. He knew his role in this hunt for the Spiritual Monkey was primarily a supportive one.

He saw Mo Shan and his three men take items out of their packs.

Each of the four held a bamboo tube with a switch on it. Chu Lingguang didn’t know what kind of Hidden Weapon it was.

"GURGLE GURGLE!"

Just then, Mo Zheng walked to the center of the valley and started making gurgling calls.

"CLANG!"

Mo Shuang, holding an Iron Hammer, smashed it hard against a metal disk. A sharp, clanging sound echoed out from the disk.

This was apparently their method for scaring out the Spiritual Monkey.

However, after an hour of this, Mo Zheng’s throat was dry, and the Iron Wolf Eagles above merely continued to circle the valley without making a move.

Apparently, while the Spiritual Monkey was timid, it was also clever. It had likely figured out the four men’s intentions and knew they were just bluffing. As long as it could endure the noise, it could stay hidden and avoid being caught.

"This thing is really cunning. If it doesn’t come out, we’ll have to search for it area by area."

Mo Lei said with a sigh.

"Can we find it with a Spiritual Sense scan?"

Chu Lingguang asked.

"Of course, but your Spiritual Sense needs to be powerful and sharp enough."

Mo Lei replied.

"Then let me try."

Chu Lingguang volunteered.

He released a Spiritual Sense Fluctuation, covering a fifty-meter radius.

The valley wasn’t huge, but it wasn’t small either. The area Chu Lingguang covered was only a fraction of it.

Mo Shan and his three men all felt the Spiritual Sense Fluctuation he released. They were somewhat surprised, because to their senses, Chu Lingguang’s Spiritual Sense was actually stronger than theirs.

Unfortunately, though Chu Lingguang moved around and scanned several spots, he couldn’t detect any unusual auras.

"If you want to track the Spiritual Monkey with your Spiritual Sense, you’ll need your Spiritual Sense to have a certain degree of Attack Power—enough to injure someone’s Sea of Consciousness."

Mo Shan reminded him.

Chu Lingguang froze.

His Spiritual Sense already possessed both defensive and offensive capabilities. However, its so-called Attack Power was nowhere near the level required to harm another’s Sea of Consciousness. Even when clashing with the Spiritual Sense of a weaker person, Chu Lingguang could only cause them a brief, stabbing headache.

An attack on the Sea of Consciousness, on the other hand, could render a person unconscious, make them lose their sanity, or even turn them into a puppet.

Chu Lingguang’s Spiritual Sense was still a long way from reaching that level.

’Perhaps I was getting ahead of myself. If Mo Shan and his men can’t find the Spiritual Monkey, what chance do I have?’ Chu Lingguang gave up on the idea.

"GURGLE!"

"CLANG!"

Mo Zheng once again let out his strange calls, while Mo Shuang’s Iron Hammer slammed repeatedly against the metal disk. Chu Lingguang found the scene very peculiar.
