Chapter 869

The Seven-Colored Illusory Butterfly tilted its head, looking down at Su Yang lying below, as if it had just understood something.

Its magnificent wings gradually lost their colors, and countless eyes appeared on the wings; Su Yang slightly opened his eyes and, upon seeing those densely packed eyes gazing down at him, felt his heart jolt!

Though the day was unbearably hot, Su Yang suddenly felt a chill in his heart!

What is this?

A mental cooling technique?

Su Yang reached out, gripping the fine, smooth fur on the Seven-Colored Illusory Butterfly's body, and growled: "You know I hate being stared at—remove them right now!"

Su Yang knew the Seven-Colored Illusory Butterfly was joking with him!

Two hours later, Su Yang suddenly received a message from Storm Eagle.

It seemed to have spotted an enemy!

Su Yang instantly flipped onto Storm Eagle's back: "Maintain distance—don't get spotted!"

Due to Storm Eagle's vast field of vision, it often detects enemies before they notice it.

"What did you spot?"

Storm Eagle replied: "A beast-tamer riding a Starshine-grade Storm Eagle!"

Storm Eagle is naturally a ferocious beast native to the coastal regions of the Huaxia Federation.

Su Yang found a Storm Eagle egg in the Seventh Star City military supply depot of the Southwest Army—and even he didn't know what story lay behind it.

"What kind of clothes?"

"No distinctive markings—probably on patrol!"

Then the opponent must be a beast-tamer from the Southeast Army!

This area has already left the shallow sea; the Southeast Army's coastal cities wouldn't send beast-tamers to patrol the deep sea.

Su Yang himself is the city lord—he knows this well!

Meanwhile, nearby coastal cities of the Southeast Army—Bohai City and Shuizhou City—have both fallen; only Nangang City remains... The opponent is very likely the enemy he's searching for!

"Maintain a safe distance—follow him!"

Sneaking around always requires returning.

Su Yang didn't need to wander like a headless fly.

And flying where the patrol personnel can't see makes it even harder to be detected!

Now, rashly crossing over those patrol personnel and heading toward their main force still carries a risk of discovery.

After all, there are no clouds—Storm Eagle's cover is essential!

This Starshine-grade beast-tamer riding a Storm Eagle is scouting toward the deep sea.

His Storm Eagle flies very high, fearing attacks from sea beasts.

Yet his Storm Eagle is still far inferior to Su Yang's.

By afternoon, the Starshine-grade beast-tamer began turning back.

At dusk, the sun sank westward, the sky filled with evening clouds; tomorrow would be another clear day.

Su Yang had just finished chewing half a bag of Beast King meat when Storm Eagle told him it had spotted more and more enemy scouts, including one King-grade beast-tamer heading back toward Nangang City.

Su Yang tucked away the half-bag of Beast King meat and murmured: "Scouting Nangang City?"

Storm Eagle: "Most likely!"

"Be careful—locate their main force!"

Ten minutes later, Storm Eagle told Su Yang it had found the enemy's base.

"Is it a fleet?" Su Yang asked Storm Eagle curiously, "Or a group of sea-beast riders?"

"No, not a fleet, not sea-beast riders—a massive floating island! An island that floats on the sea!"

"What? A floating island?"

Forgive Su Yang's limited knowledge—he truly had never heard of an island that could float!

"It's a pet beast—huge as an island—seems to be a giant sea turtle..."
