A giant shadow flashed across the sky as Ou Yangming and Big Yellow rode the goshawk back to Changlong County. When one was in the sky, one's vision would be entirely different from when one was on the ground. Ou Yangming could not specifically locate Changlong County but when he looked around, he could vaguely sense a familiar aura somewhere.
It was an extremely wonderful sensing ability as though he was born to know where his target was.
Apart from Ou Yangming, the goshawk was only accompanied by Big Yellow.
Ever since Big Yellow successfully became a spirit beast, it was evident that the goshawk began to treat it with a better att.i.tude. At the very least, it finally seemed like they were on equal footing
Big Yellow sat quietly beside Ou Yangming on the goshawk's broad back, and it looked worriedly at the young fellow. Although it had just become a spirit beast and could converse in human language, it already had wisdom long ago, hence it knew how important Changlong County was to Ou Yangming.
Putting aside everyone else, Old Craftsman and the soldiers from the Immense Forest Military Camp were enough to make Ou Yangming worry.
The goshawk clearly sensed Ou Yangming's anxiety, thus it went all out and flew without any reservations. It took three days—three days and nightbefore Ou Yangming sensed his target.
Faint yellow clouds and mist were seen in the distance, and they enveloped the whole area as if there was no end to it.
Ou Yangming furrowed his eyebrows. “Goshawk, what's that?”
The goshawk immediately slowed down and asked, “Master, isn't this Changlong County's unique weather?” “I haven't stayed in the prefecture for a long time, but I grew up in Changlong County; I would've heard of the strange weather if it happened before.” Ou Yangming shook his head.
The goshawk flapped its wings to float in the air while it scanned the area with its lightning eyes as though it could see through the clouds and mist.
It noted after a brief moment, “Master, I suppose it's a natural phenomenon. I didn't find any signs of magic art inside.”
“Woof, the environment looks bad to me. Let's go around it.” Big Yellow barked and expressed its opinion.
Ou Yangming pondered before he said, “It's best to be careful. Goshawk, let's go around it.”
Owing to the goshawk's incredible speed, it would not take too long even if it were to take a detour. Moreover, even though the faint yellow cloud and mist did not appear to be dangerous, Ou Yangming somehow felt uneasy. Seeing as they were arriving at Changlong City soon, he was unwilling to create problems.
The goshawk flapped its wings. It was rather unhappy about the outcome, but it dared not disobey Ou Yangming's order. As such, it shrieked and flew to the left of the clouds and mist.
Nonetheless, the formidable spirit bird was exceptionally proud. It went around the clouds and mist, but it kept moving its body close to them.
It would not disobey Ou Yangming's order by entering the clouds and mist but flying right beside the clouds and mist was unquestionably the fastest way.
As the goshawk kept approaching the clouds and mist, Ou Yanming experienced a strong uneasy feeling. His eyelids twitched, and he shouted, “Goshawk, quickly back away!”
The goshawk flapped its wings in confusion because it could not understand what Ou Yangming was doing.
Next, the initially still clouds and mist underwent a peculiar change. The ones near the goshawk surged all of a sudden and transformed into a gigantic hand to wrap around it.
Consequently, the goshawk cried furiously. It did not notice anything mysterious when it pried earlier but given that the clouds and mist were suddenly attacking, it meant that everything it saw just now was an illusion.
At this point, even the powerful spirit bird was infuriated.
When the goshawk flapped its wings, a strong wind was stirred up, forming a wind circle around it.
It let out a sharp shriek, which not only represented its fury but also triggered Heaven and Earth's mysterious energy. Sure enough, through the strong wind, the yellow clouds and mist that surrounded it disappeared.
Nevertheless, the goshawk halted just as it wanted to soar into the sky to stay away from this area.
This was because it realized that it lost its way.
It was worth noting that the Birds were born with a unique ability to identify directions when they flew in the sky. Without the ability, the Birds would have been eliminated by nature long ago. However, the goshawk lost its sense of direction when it entered the clouds and mist.
It was similar to a person that suddenly lost vision and could not see anything around him or her. Needless to say, the impact on the goshawk was unmatched.
Despite that, the goshawk was not an ordinary being, after all. It recovered after a short while and looked around before it noted, “Master, there's something fishy about the clouds and mist.”
'You don't say! Ou Yangming and Big Yellow thought when they looked at each other. “The ability is certainly not from this world. Judging from the clouds and mist, I suppose they were brought here from the upper realm. Heh, they're really being quite generous!” The goshawk remarked.
Ou Yangming tensed up a little. He no longer knew nothing about the upper realm.
Whether it was Multi-armed King Kong or the goshawk, they were his best teachers.
It would neither be simple nor easy to descend from the upper realm. Other than the fact that spirit beasts would suffer huge limitations, the other half-spirit beasts would also be under unbearable restraints.
Similarly, notable magic tools or pieces of unique equipment were under the same fate.
The substantial clouds and mist, which seemed to have shrouded over Heaven and Earth as they floated in the mid-air, was definitely something horrific. Given that it could trap that goshawk, it was surely unordinary.
It would not be much easier to transport them to this realm than to send a spirit beast here.
At the end of the day, a transmission between realms required an enormous cost, but the Insects somehow sent two spirit beasts and a forceful treasure here. n.o.body knew what they were thinking
Far away, on a tall mountain, the little red bird could not help but stagger and almost fell from a tree when it saw the goshawk being captured by the yellow clouds and mist.
“That goshawk's too dumb! How could it not recognize the Insects' well-known poisonous miasma?
'Though I was also fooled because the miasma was disguised, it was only because I wasn't there. If I went over, hmph… I'm sure I would've spotted it at once.'
The little red bird blinked and wondered, then it crouched hesitantly and lay lazily on the branch.
It should not be sitting by idly, but it could tell from the poisonous miasma's range and scale that it was the trick of two little insects. Since the goshawk was there to a.s.sist Ou Yangming, the little bird figured that it would not be a problem.
'If you can't even survive the danger, are we even from the same race? Those from our kind are never so weak.' The little red bird had a fierce look in its eyes as it made up its mind. Unless it were absolutely necessary, it would not help them at all. Even if the situation became irreparable such that its kind fell into the clutches of their enemy, it would take revenge by killing at least a billion insects to work off the disgrace. Having said that, deep down the little bird did not think that its comrade was so useless. 'As powerful as an insect, it's only reserved food for us. What exactly am I worrying about…”
That said, the little red bird and even the two insect powerhouses, which set up the poisonous miasma, did not notice a red vapor on the ground in a spot that was not noticed by them. The vapor was ever-changing, odd, and mysterious.
“Shriek…”
The goshawk raised its head to let out a shrill cry. Its voice spread far and wide, causing the mist around it to billow. In spite of looking as hard as it could, it could not see through the mist. It seemed like the mist around it was endless and covered the whole word.
As the goshawk blinked its large eyes, it turned to look at Ou Yangming embarra.s.sedly. Being a bird powerhouse, it ended up being tricked by two spirit insects. If its fellows knew about this, it would not be able to list its head in front of them forever.
Big Yellow turned to look at Ou Yangming eagerly.
Ou Yangming smiled bitterly and expressed, “Big Yellow, I lost the ability to identify the direction, as well as my sensing ability, after we entered the clouds and mist. It feels like… The mist can disrupt s.p.a.ce.”
“Master, there are still undiscovered parasites in Yongxiang City!” The goshawk shouted abruptly. “What?” Ou Yangming was surprised because he did not know why the goshawk suddenly brought that up.
“This is probably the Insects' mutated poisonous miasma, which has endless wonderful uses, but it must be controlled by a mighty insect so that its full power can be unleashed. Hmph, they have to consume plenty of power to control such a ma.s.sive treasure in this realm, so I'm sure they're doing this on purpose after calculating the time.”
Ou Yangming came to a sudden realization and furrowed his eyebrows. “Regardless if they're doing this intentionally, we must find a way out.” The Military Fire in his sea of consciousness burned fiercely as if it would burst out to burn Heaven and Earth and anytime.
The goshawk hesitated for a while before it asked, “Master, please allow me to try again.”
It slowly flapped its wings. This time, it seemed like its wings were bearing 500 kilograms of weight each as they gathered unimaginable surges of power in front of it while moving up and down.
This was Ou Yangming's first time seeing such a grave look on the goshawk's face. It was obvious that the fellow wanted to compensate itself.
Eventually, a giant ball of strong wind was a.s.sembled in front of the goshawk. Following that, a mad look was seen in its eyes as it hurled the ball to the side…
