Immortal Path to Heaven Chapter 432 - Hunt

Chapter 432 Hunt

After an unknown period when Ou Yangming descended because he had enjoyed himself to the full, almost everyone looked at him with bright eyes.

The sharp-eyed Ou Yangming glanced at Her Royal Highness because he could sense that she reacted differently from the others. Although the princess looked envious too, she seemed to be pondering about something at the same time.

Struck with a thought, Ou Yangming asked, “Your Highness, have you been in the sky before?”

Wu Hanning answered, “My ancestor has a secret technique in the secret realm to access both Heaven and Earth, allowing one to fly.”

She disclosed much information through her response, and it made Ou Yangming and the others jealous. Given that the imperial family’s secret realm allowed one to fly, it proved that they had an unimaginably profound foundation.

“We should get ready to set out,” Ou Yangming noted after he looked around. He later glanced at Multi-armed King Kong and Big Yellow and said, “You’ll have to travel by foot.”

Multi-armed King Kong glared furiously at the goshawk and was extremely regretful. If it knew this was going to happen, it would have smashed the bird to pieces that day.

Nonetheless, if it had actually done that, even if Ou Yangming did not care, the little phoenix in the dark would not leave the matter at that.

As for the big yellow dog, it barked loudly several times to express its dissatisfaction.

Feeling helpless, Ou Yangming could only get off the goshawk to comfort the big yellow dog again. The goshawk had a big build but since it had to carry more than 10 people, the young fellow dared not let the yellow dog join them.

Not to mention the goshawk and the big yellow dog were somewhat hostile toward each other, even if the former was willing to, the latter might not have the guts to hop on the bird.

Only after Ou Yangming made Big Yellow a bunch of promises, it finally agreed to let him go.

Nevertheless, Multi-armed King Kong and the goshawk were incredibly envious of the big yellow dog when they saw how special it was treated.

Once Ou Yangming managed to comfort the big yellow dog, he went on the goshawk with everyone else. As soon as he gave the order, the giant bird flapped its wings and soared into the sky. When the goshawk first brought the young fellow to fly, it zoomed into the sky because their souls were connected.

Owing to the increased number of people this time, the goshawk flew steadily under Ou Yangming’s restriction. Besides, it also released a unique ability to create a peculiar s.p.a.ce around it, so the people were not bothered by the sound and the wind pressure. Sure enough, flying with the goshawk felt like a smoother journey than taking the imperial family’s carriages.

Despite that, the people on the goshawk fed their eyes on the view. They looked down excitedly and exclaimed each time the gigantic bird flapped its wings. After an hour, Ou Yangming and his companions finally calmed down.

As beautiful as the scenery was, one would eventually feel tired from looking at it. Similarly, the goshawk could not understand why the humans were so thrilled when they were simply hurrying on with their journey in the sky. Having said that, the goshawk enjoyed looking down as well, especially since it could see Multi-arm King Kong and Big Yellow running as fast as they could on the ground. After several days, Ou Yangming and his companions finally arrived at Huangsha County.

All of a sudden, Wu Hanning’s face changed. She retrieved a conch from her interspatial bag and placed it next to her ear to listen.

Ou Yangming and the others immediately kept quiet. They dared not stare at her because they wanted to avoid arousing suspicion, but they knew it was probably the imperial family’s unique communication method. Needless to say, the method would consume a certain amount of resources of the imperial family would have normalized it long ago. Wu Hanning put down the conch after a while and informed the others seriously, “I received news that the disaster from the Insects broke out but instead of Huangsha County, it started in Yongxiang County.” “What? Yongxiang County?” Zuoqiu Hongyuan was dumbfounded. “That’s impossible! For generations, while beast tide doesn’t happen at a fixed time, the starting location has always been the same!”

Among the Humans’ eight counties, every two counties would suffer a terrible disaster once in a century.

However, there was a certain rule and order in the disaster. For instance, between Changlong and Linlang, the former had always been struck first. If they could not resist it, the catastrophe would then slowly spread to Linlang. The same pattern could be seen in Feiya and Xuanchen, as well as Huangsha and Yongxiang.

As such, Feiya County and Huangsha County would always be invaded first.

That said, according to the news received by Wu Hanning, it seemed like everything changed.

The goshawk turned its head a little and shrieked disdainfully. It laughed like a human and remarked, “What’s so strange about that? Who said we must follow a certain order? Hmph, foolish humans…” It stopped abruptly and glanced carefully at Ou Yangming. By then, its forehead was already covered in beads of cold sweat.

It forgot that its master was a human…

At the very least, before its master abandoned its mortal flesh, it must not have a prejudice against humans.

Zuoqiu Hongyuan was startled for some time before he questioned, “Your Highness, what’s the situation at Yongxiang County?”

Wu Hanning shook her head and answered, “It’s not going well. It’s far from total destruction but because the Insects suddenly changed their attacking direction and the people weren’t ready, there are a lot of casualties.”

“If there aren’t many casualties, I’m sure you wouldn’t have been informed through such a method.” Ou Yangming smiled bitterly.

Zuoqiu Hongyuan raised another question, “Brother Ou, I recall you saying that 100 Supreme Great Ancestors equipped with pieces of top-notch equipment have set out to Huangsha County. Can they head to Yongxiang instead to fight?”

Ou Yangming responded without any hesitation, “As long as I find them, I’ll persuade them to give their all. Don’t worry, Brother Zuoqiu.”

He understood how anxious Zuoqiu Hongyuan was. Even though Yongxiang County was under attack instead, given that Huangsha and Yongxiang were considered as one, Huangsha would not end up well if Yongxiang were to fall. Likewise, if Linlang County were attacked by the beast tide, Changlong County would suffer the same fate, so they would do their best to help Linlang too.

At the spur of the moment, the goshawk cried into the air and expressed, “Master, why go through the trouble? Won’t it be settled if we head there? 100 human Supreme Great Ancestors aren’t even enough to fill the gaps between my teeth!”

Ou Yangming and the others were stunned, and they had strange looks on their faces.

Nonetheless, Ou Yangming said after some time, “Okay. If that’s the case, we’ll change our course and head to Yongxiang County.”

Someone knew the way to Yongxiang so after the goshawk was guided, it changed its flight path.

Down below, the two walking beasts, which were running with all their might, halted because they realized that the d.a.m.n goshawk above them changed its path.

The goshawk only needed to flap its wings to change its flight path in the air, but the king kong and the big yellow dog could not stop in time when they realized the change of direction.

As the two walking beasts looked up at the goshawk, which was getting further away, they roared and quickly pursued it. Big Yellow was a weaker beast because it had not become a spirit beast, but it was so fast that even Multi-armed King Kong was astonished.

Along their journey, the goshawk suddenly twitched its nose. When it opened its mouth, a string of saliva hung at the corner.

It came up with an idea and asked Ou Yangming, “Master, there’s an insect down there, and it’s quite formidable. Do you want to get rid of it?”

Ou Yangming and the others tensed up because they did not expect to encounter a powerful insect so soon. Since the goshawk could sense it and described it as a formidable insect, it must be unordinary.

“Okay, let us get off somewhere safe first,” Ou Yangming instructed in a deep voice.

He wanted to eliminate the Insects as soon as possible, but he did not want anyone to get hurt.

The goshawk flapped its wings cheerfully and landed swiftly. Once Ou Yangming and his companions got off, it flew into the sky again and zoomed toward a ma.s.sive forest ahead.

Zuoqiu Hongyuan frowned and commented, “Brother Ou, I think your pet beast is a bit strange…” “What?”

“It stopped for another purpose, didn’t it?”

Ou Yangming grinned. “Of course, but it’ll benefit us too.”

Zuoqiu Hongyuan and the others were confused as they did not know what he meant.

Through the connection between their souls, Ou Yangming knew the goshawk’s plan. It had a selfish motive, but the young fellow hoped that there would be more of such cases in the future.

“Shriek…”

The goshawk’s joyful cry was heard coming from the forest.

Following that, it appeared again but carried an enormous python with its claws. A large hole could be seen on the python’s head, where blood flowed out and poured down like rain.

The python was about 35 meters long, and it seemed to be bigger than the goshawk. Even so, its body looked sloppy as it had already died.

“A-a giant python!”

Wu Hanning and the others gasped. Judging from the giant python’s size, it must not be treated lightly at all. In fact, perhaps it was a half-spirit beast at the peak of its rank. If the python had not met its natural enemy, Ou Yangming and his companions would have needed to put in a lot of effort to slaughter it.

The goshawk happily carried the giant python to Ou Yangming and stared at him.

Ou Yangming could not help but laugh. “Since you killed it, it belongs to you.”

The giant python was considered a treasure because its scales, flesh, gall, and eyes were priceless.

Nevertheless, since the goshawk expressed its interest and captured it, Ou Yangming was not going to steal its hard work.

The goshawk cried to rejoice. It instantly opened its mouth to slit the giant python’s stomach in front of the others, then it kicked the python’s organs away and sliced it into pieces. Subsequently, the goshawk took a section of the python and swallowed it.

Ni Yinghong turned away after seeing such a gory scene.

Far away, thunderous footsteps were heard as Multi-armed King Kong and Big Yellow hurried over.

They glared at the goshawk furiously.

‘Motherf*cker! We’ve been hastening on with our journey, whereas you’re having a feast here?!’
