King of Creation-Chapter 70 - Silver Line Demon Eagle King

Moreover, that person only moved around a dozen miles each day, occasionally doubling back, effectively trapping Ye Zhen because traversing the perilous Yin Mountain Range with Meng Xiaoyue meant they could only cover about a dozen miles every day.

This left Ye Zhen in a no-win situation where he could neither advance nor retreat.

If they retreated, the terrain of the Yin Mountain was treacherous, and with Meng Xiaoyue, Ye Zhen had even fewer choices, only able to pick relatively flat areas to exit the mountains.

Yet, once they left, the patrolling figure in the sky would certainly spot them.

Moving forward would mean trekking towards the heart of the Yin Mountain Range, but once they reached this territory, Ye Zhen no longer dared to venture deeper into the mountains.

Ye Zhen felt that in these past days, delving into the Yin Mountain was like dancing on the edge of a knife, having intruded into the territories of Earth Level Low-grade and Mid-grade Demon Beasts several times and constantly hovering between life and death, although his ability to understand the beast language helped him avoid higher-level demon beasts.

But if his luck was even slightly worse and they ran into an Earth Level Monster Beast out hunting, what awaited Ye Zhen and Meng Xiaoyue would be death.

Ye Zhen thought they couldn’t stall any longer.

If the guy in the sky called for more reinforcements and they delayed any longer, he and Meng Xiaoyue would be trapped with no chance of escape.

“It looks like we’ll have to take a gamble.”

With Meng Xiaoyue in tow, Ye Zhen moved swiftly through the forest, searching for his target.

Suddenly, a Lightning Mink darted past him in a flash.

Whoosh!

Ye Zhen’s figure, fluid as a drifting cloud and flowing water, dove and bounced with a flash of speed and promptly caught the Lightning Mink in his hand.

Delighted, Ye Zhen’s hand hovered over his Storage Bracelet, but he hesitated.

Ye Zhen’s plan was rather simple: to use the Grand Jade Pendant on Meng Xiaoyue that the Lishui Sect could track, and attach it to a small creature, letting the creature distract the pursuers in the sky.

Though this method would surely work, it had a fatal flaw.

That was the difference in speed between Ye Zhen and the Lishui Sect’s pursuers.

The Lishui Sect’s pursuers could fly, and the one in the sky clearly flew faster than Jin Tai.

Even if Ye Zhen managed to use the Grand Jade Pendant to lead the pursuers astray for a half hour, an hour, or even two to three hours.

But how far could Ye Zhen run in two to three hours?

In the mountain forest, even if Ye Zhen used Wind God Step and ran at full speed, disregarding the presence of demon beasts in the Yin Mountain, at most, he could only cover about a hundred miles.

However, once the pursuer in the sky realized they were deceived, it wouldn’t take half an hour to scour a radius of a hundred miles, and by then, Ye Zhen would still end up failing.

Unless Ye Zhen had unbelievably good luck and the Lightning Mink managed to delay the pursuer for more than a day, only then might they have a chance to escape the pursuit.

“No, the probability of successfully escaping is too small!” After pondering for a long time, Ye Zhen ultimately dismissed his risky plan and continued to lead Meng Xiaoyue cautiously deeper into the Yin Mountain.

Suddenly, as Ye Zhen climbed to the top of a hill, the Lightning Mink he was carrying started to screech anxiously, its voice very urgent and its body trembling.

Ye Zhen was startled, then immediately started to listen attentively.

“Silver Line Demon Eagle King….

Silver Line Demon Eagle King….

this is the territory of the Silver Line Demon Eagle King….”

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhen’s face suddenly changed.

The Silver Line Demon Eagle itself is a flying monster beast of the lower-grade Earth Level, whereas the Silver Line Demon Eagle King is of mid-grade Earth Level.

However, what’s most fearsome is that although the Silver Line Demon Eagle King is only of mid-grade Earth Level, its combat power nearly rivals that of an upper-grade Earth Level monster beast.

Even more, the combat power of the Silver Line Demon Eagle King is slightly stronger than that of an upper-grade Earth Level monster beast.

But the most important aspect is the concept of territory.

The Silver Line Demon Eagle King is a demon beast with an extremely strong territorial consciousness.

Within its territory, even its own kind who rashly intrude will be immediately killed.

All these things were recorded in a beast compendium made available to disciples within the Qiyun Sect, which listed the characteristics, weaknesses, and methods of dealing with commonly seen monster beasts on the True Profound Continent.

“Silver Line Demon Eagle King….

Silver Line Demon Eagle King….” As Ye Zhen muttered the name of the Silver Line Demon Eagle King, a flash of brilliance shone in his eyes, and he came up with a bold idea.

Should he use the Silver Line Demon Eagle King to trap the pursuers from the Lishui Sect?

If it really worked, that guy would either die or suffer severe injuries, right?

Ye Zhen pondered deeply.

Although Ye Zhen intended to use the Silver Line Demon Eagle King to trap his pursuers, in fact, for someone at the True Essence Second Realm like Ye Zhen, to use a mid-grade Earth Level monster beast that not even those in the Spirit Transformation Realm would dare to provoke lightly, was like playing with fire.

One careless move, and Ye Zhen would be the one getting burned.

Instead of trapping others, he might just trap himself first.

Ye Zhen was fully aware of the danger involved, but once the thought occurred, it uncontrollably grew within him; it might be his only chance to escape smoothly and possibly to vent his anger fiercely.

However, the difficulty of doing this was extraordinary.

But Ye Zhen was, after all, the ‘King of the Mountains’.

Having an idea in mind, Ye Zhen immediately began to think carefully.

After concealing Meng Xiaoyue in a very hidden nest among the trees, Ye Zhen slowly stepped into the territory of the Silver Line Demon Eagle King, pausing with every step, listening intently with every movement.

Sometimes, the foolish speech of the small animals in the mountains could provide Ye Zhen with much important information.

For example, the conversation among a few small snakes made it clear to Ye Zhen that the most important thing to the Silver Line Demon Eagle King was its airspace.

If any flying creature dared to intrude into the Silver Line Demon Eagle King’s airspace, regardless of strength, the Silver Line Demon Eagle King would become furiously enraged and immediately strike.

So much so that birds were hard to find within dozens of miles around.

Concerning its ground territory, the Silver Line Demon Eagle King was much less vigilant, almost never bothering to intervene.

Creatures like these small snakes, or even some low-level monster beasts living here permanently, would not be bothered by the Silver Line Demon Eagle King.

Of course, one day they might become the Silver Line Demon Eagle King’s food.

Or to put it another way, all the low-level monster beasts within the territory are considered food by the Silver Line Demon Eagle King.

Only when an exceptionally strong monster beast that could pose a threat to the Silver Line Demon Eagle King intruded into its territory would the Silver Line Demon Eagle King attack fiercely.

In other words, on the ground, as long as Ye Zhen kept his qi concealed and wasn’t incredibly unlucky, he was still safe.

From the mouths of these small creatures, Ye Zhen also learned about the nest of the Silver Line Demon Eagle King, located in a cave just below the mountaintop.

Now the question was, how could Ye Zhen use the Silver Line Demon Eagle King to trap the pursuers from the Water Sect?

In other words, how could he get the Grand Jade Pendant, which the pursuers from the Lishui Sect could track, near the Silver Line Demon Eagle King?
