79 Lion Feathers

  Abyss.

  Mujin Heart Spirit Master Kudan is in a predicament.

  That day, he chased and killed all the way from the mine to the teleportation gate at the bottom of the Heartless Mage Tower, but failed to kill that seriously injured old mouse. So he soon fell into the siege of the mouse servants, and one person was obviously not an opponent of this pile of demons. Using force was out of the question, and the intelligence of these devils had been weakened by the mouse to a strange extent, with extremely stubborn thoughts. No matter how eloquent he was, he couldn't get out of trouble.

  For such chaotic beings as demons, argument is not very useful; they can casually renege on any unenforceable agreement and resent any constraint, and the demons know this too. So no matter how stupid a demon is, without sufficient powerful constraints, they all have an attitude of absolute distrust towards each other, and the more stupid the demon is, the more so, because low intelligence sometimes also represents stubbornness and inflexibility.

  Even a soul master who has lived in the abyss for many years is very clear about the psychology of demons, so after trying twice without success, he also gave up this approach. At present, he can only try his best to seal the entrance of the underground room with spiritual energy and continue to analyze this teleportation gate, preparing to use it to escape to other planes.

  However, the gap between Arcana and Spiritual Energy was a bit larger. He studied for dozens of days before he could only grope out an outline - this was also related to his environment. Those monsters constantly collided with the door with their sturdy bodies, and the profanity outside the door was endless. Moreover, he couldn't close off his senses like he usually did when researching - who knew when the door would be smashed open?

  Moreover, he had to be constantly aware of the wind and grass around him. He was even more aware that mice might come out of the transmission gate at any time, so he kept his spiritual energy on himself at all times. This distraction and misuse of external forces made his research progress slow.

  However, in a place like the Abyss, he had experienced even more difficult situations, so he persisted. Now, the deciphering of the transmission gate had reached a sufficient level, and it would no longer send him to places where death was certain. The Wood Spirit wiped away his sweat and let out a satisfied sigh.

  At this moment, the portal emitted a strong light.

  Kudan immediately went on guard, someone had teleported over, he quickly closed his eyes and entered spiritual meditation, preparing to give the person who was about to arrive a fatal blow.

  After being transported through space, the person will inevitably be in a state of mental confusion after arriving at the destination, so he is not flustered.

  But before he could even process that thought, he saw what flew out of the portal first wasn't a living creature, but a red flame.

  A group of demons outside the door continued to attack the gate.

  "Hurry up, you're too weak! You're too weak!" The small, inferior demon riding on the tall and sturdy demon's back scolded loudly.

  "Shut up, you insignificant trash!" The tall and sturdy demon roared with rage, continuing to batter the gate.

  Boom!

  Just then, a tremendous crash echoed through the entire tower from inside the door.

  A group of demons at the door were blown away by a powerful force, and when they stood up again, they saw their master appear at the door. The wooden spirit's body was left with only its head hanging from a broken spine, while the rest of its body was splattered on the wall along with some iron filings, its corpse looking extremely gruesome.

  These demons were stunned for a moment before excitedly shouting: "Oh! My master, you've finally returned!"

  The mouse wagged its tail, and the Taoist walked out of the smoke on one side, frowning at the mouse: "This time you've gone too far."

  "One favor owed, one favor returned." A neutral voice entered Penny's mind.

  Pan Ni nodded slightly, glanced at the large group of demons outside the door, and was secretly shocked by the scale of the mouse's strength. Many thoughts rose in his heart.

  However, he soon remembered the town's affairs and shouldered the large cannon before turning around and entering the portal.

  ……

  "Hurry! Let our partners have a good meal, there's work to be done!"

  On a precipice of the eastern mountain range, more than seventy robust men wearing coarse leather armor gathered together, with a large group of lions and eagles beside them.

  These creatures tore at the strips of meat in their feeding troughs, enough livestock had been slaughtered that day in the mountain bandit lair to give them the strength they needed for battle.

  The Griffin's appetite is huge, and it needs to eat a lot of fresh meat every day. If it needs to fly for a long time or fight, it will need even more food. Fortunately, the mountainous region is rich in resources, otherwise, it would be impossible to support many Griffins.

  Even so, the number of lion eagles has already reached the limit that the thieves' gang can bear. In order to control the number, the thieves' gang can only choose a part of the strong ones to stay, and the rest will be eliminated during the juvenile period.

  In order to conserve resources, these lions are rarely active during peacetime.

  Deren Lionfeather is a native of this mountainous region, and it was his tribe that passed down the skill of taming the lion eagles. He has always been a core member of the thieves' guild, and as he watched the lion eagle eat, he urged his companions to gather their gear:

  "Get ready with the flamethrower and speargun, today we must give those Red Vests a show of color."

  "Alas! It's just burning a few houses, when can we drive them out thoroughly..." A mountain bandit complained somewhat gloomily.

  "You have to ask the leader, whatever he says goes." Derryn Lionheart raised an eyebrow helplessly.

  "The leader was too cautious, thinking about how they were on their first day here, and were all scared into hiding under the carriage."

  The remark caused a burst of laughter, and Darren Lyon also burst out laughing.

  "It's these cowardly good-for-nothings who dare to rob us of our money, this time we must give them a lesson." A mountain bandit said with hatred.

  Although the mountains are rich in resources, not everything is available. Many times, the thieves' group needs a certain amount of money to turn around with the outside world, so what the Red Robe Masters did greatly offended them.

  "Alright, let's get things done quickly and come back soon. We can't have our little treasures getting too tired." Delun patted the lion-eagle's feathers, this one named 'Sharp Wind' had a bronze-colored neck feather, from its neck to its wings, the feathers changed from bronze to golden yellow, under the sunlight, reflecting a metallic luster, its body was over nine feet long, standing up, it was as tall as a person and a half.

  A group of mountain bandits smiled as they looked at their animal companions, who had been with them for many years in the mountains. They and the lions had a very deep affection for each other.

  "Ahh!"

  The enormous griffin swallowed the meat strip, puffed out its chest, stood up on its hind legs, lifted its front claws, and flapped its long wings to let out a clear whistle. All the griffins stood up one after another and let out similar long whistles!

  De Lun took advantage of the opportunity and jumped onto the back of the lion-eagle, holding high his spear:

  "For Victory!"

  Most of Ferrin's thief groups have similar slogans, and "For Victory" is relatively normal.

  As the first Griffin took to the air, an even more deafening roar accompanied by the bandits' shouts burst out of the mountain cliff, and wings obscured the clouds.

  "For Victory!"

  "Burn those red-robed men to death!" Someone shouted again.

  "Hahaha!" A string of laughter floated in the sky.

  ……

  "Are you all ready?" In the underground bunker, Lygite, who was in a state of meditation, suddenly opened her eyes.

  "Huh? Is it time already?" Hughes put down his book.

  "They're here." Lijitai raised an eyebrow, shook her head and spat out a pill from her mouth: "I just used True Insight Flash."

  "You're really courting death, daring to use such a dangerous spell so recklessly, aren't you afraid of being poisoned by the materials used in the spell?" Hughes looked at the woman in red robes with astonishment: "Moreover, the credibility of the intelligence gathered using this spell is only three-quarters."

  "Now I only have this spell to gather intelligence, and I've used it four times. The answer is consistent." Lijit said calmly, ignoring Hughes' shocked expression, standing up: "Where's Xien?"

  "I'm here." Panni entered the bunker with a stench of corruption, saw two colleagues and smiled: "You guys look a bit tense."

  "I can see the back of your neck is sweating, dear Xian." Lijia blinked: "And the smell on you is quite strange."

  "Something's gone wrong with the experiment, I just heard you two discussing it outside, have they arrived?" Panni asked, looking at the two red-robed figures with inquiring eyes.

  Hues and Lijita nodded solemnly.

  "Oh..." With the tense atmosphere from the Abyss still lingering, Penny didn't feel any more shocked. It was bound to happen sooner or later, and he had already prepared himself: "Let's go to the top floor and get ready."

  "Alright." The two mages stood up with Panni and headed to the top floor of the stronghold, instructing their subordinates, the gray dwarves and the Selkie knights, to get ready.

  Through the window of the earthwork, he gazed out at the sky, trying to find traces of those griffins.

  The crossbow beside him was already loaded and ready.

  The editor's notice is going to be put on the shelves. Considering that these two paragraphs of dry padding have been added, they were coded overnight and uploaded, without occupying the VIP version...

  I'm not sure if I can ask everyone to give me some more recommendation votes, it seems like it's been a long time since I last asked. Before the shelves are put up, I'll ask one more time, hoping to quickly surpass 30,000. Can everyone satisfy my wish?
