Chapter 566

He Gang asked in surprise, "Can he do it?"

"Yes, if his reconnaissance ability is truly top-tier, he's even more suitable than me!" Tao Sheng nodded. "The speed of his Storm Eagle already matches my King-Rank Low-Grade flying pet beast—it's so fast… it's terrifying!"

All the High-ranking military officials in the meeting room were shaken.

"I didn't expect Su Yang to be this powerful—his Star-Shine Mid-Grade Storm Eagle has King-Rank speed?"

"No wonder he's the top genius beast tamer in the southwest!"

"That's strong enough!"

"If that's true, he's definitely suited for the most critical mission—his flight speed rivals Tao's colonel's, and his reconnaissance ability is even better!"

"…."

Tao Sheng pursed his lips—he had promised Su Yang to keep things low-key!

He couldn't tell these people that Su Yang's Storm Eagle wasn't even a Star-Shine Mid-Grade pet beast!

It was a Platinum Top-Grade pet beast!

A Platinum Top-Grade Storm Eagle matching the speed of a King-Rank Low-Grade pet beast? That was just insane!

That's why he said Su Yang's Storm Eagle was "terrifying"!

His vocabulary was limited—he couldn't find a better word than "terrifying."

He Gang said, "Then, Lieutenant Su, we're counting on you!"

"General, I guarantee the mission will be completed!"

Ten minutes later, He Gang handed Su Yang a letter and a military map: "This contains the revised orders—deliver the letter to Peng Xiangming before the Shoushen Sect finds him!"

"Got it!"

"Take Colonel Zhou with you—he knows the western region best."

"Fine!"

"Come back safe!" He Gang slapped Su Yang's shoulder. "If anything happens to you, Qin Qin Pengcheng won't let me off the hook!"

"Relax, General He—I'm young, I'm not ready to die yet!"

Taking Zhou Wanshan with him, Su Yang left He Gang's office, exited the military headquarters, and summoned his Storm Eagle.

"Lieutenant Su, I admit your Storm Eagle is mighty, but it hasn't upgraded to Star-Shine level, has it?"

"But it has King-Rank speed!"

"Then that's fine!"

At that moment, Liu Mengyun followed them out.

She leapt onto the Storm Eagle's claw, exhaled white mist, and ice spread—securing herself firmly to the claw.

"What's wrong?"

"My Storm Eagle doesn't like carrying people…" Su Yang pointed awkwardly to the other claw. "Sorry, Colonel Zhou!"

Zhou Wanshan glanced at the Storm Eagle; seeing its haughty gaze, he understood immediately.

"I get it—it's fine. Some pet beasts do have… unusual temperaments!"

He then leapt onto the Storm Eagle's other claw.

"Here's the map—you lead the way," Su Yang said. "I'll have the Storm Eagle follow your directions."

"Alright!"

The Storm Eagle flapped its wings and shot into the sky.

Gales rushed past, making Zhou Wanshan unable to open his eyes.

Beneath his feet were white cloud layers; the ground was visible only occasionally.

The air was thin—he wasn't used to it.

He had no choice but to huddle on the Storm Eagle's rear talons, like Liu Mengyun.

Zhou Wanshan now believed—this Storm Eagle truly had King-Rank speed!

If it didn't, he'd turn back immediately and ask General He to replace him.

Zhou Wanshan turned to look at Liu Mengyun—she was wrapped in ice, eyes closed, as if dozing.

She must be used to it.

Thinking of this, Zhou Wanshan couldn't help but feel sorry for Liu Mengyun!

Was it really right for Su Yang to treat such a breathtakingly beautiful, powerful woman like this?

Where was Su Yang right now?

Unaware of Zhou Wanshan's inner complaints, he was lying on the Storm Eagle's back, resting.

Due to the urgency of the mission, the three had ridden the Storm Eagle nonstop—barely landing except in emergencies.

They ate rations and slept barely enough.

All three were experts—they could endure it.

After flying continuously for three days and nights, on the fourth morning, Zhou Wanshan warned: "Lieutenant Su, have the Storm Eagle watch carefully—if Deputy Team Leader Peng and his team moved slowly, they might have reached here already."

"Let me check!"

Su Yang leapt onto the Storm Eagle's claw; Liu Mengyun jumped over too, and the three sat together on the claw studying the map.

It was a military map—the markings were fairly detailed.

But the movement route of Peng Xiangming's three emergency squads made Su Yang and the others uneasy.

The route was a crooked red line, stretching straight to Xinyi City.

But the problem was—in wilderness marching, the so-called route was just a rough reference, not the actual path taken!
