Because this journey is incredibly convenient and labor-saving.
However, Zhao Ya also knew that his idea was somewhat unrealistic.
Because no matter how high the level of the Exotic Beast is, even if it can understand some human intentions, it’s almost impossible to communicate,
plus its wild nature and the high cost of care, all destined this to be just an idea.
Only when flying on the back of this giant crane did Zhao Ya finally deeply realize how vast the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range truly was.
Because even after flying for more than a quarter of an hour, there were still large swathes of mountains ahead, seemingly endless.
However, Zhao Ya was not in a hurry; he identified the mountains below while pondering his next move.
If he really reached the Beast Taming Sect’s residence via this giant crane, what should he do?
Making a big move is certainly not feasible.
After all, the strength demonstrated by the Beast Taming Sect alone is already astonishing.
The key is that they also possess mysterious and unpredictable Exotic Beast Transformation Techniques and all kinds of strange things.
If he makes a mistake, he would be greatly wronged.
So he had to think of another way.
Just as Zhao Ya was deep in thought, the giant crane below suddenly began to lower its altitude.
Zhao Ya immediately looked down, and then his entire body shuddered, an expression of joy appeared in his eyes.
He was surprised because amidst several mountain peaks, there was a vast hidden estate.
He was pleased because based on the direction of the surrounding mountains and the traces of several nearby rivers, Zhao Ya could conclude that this was the place noted on the Treasure Map.
But soon, a shadow flashed across Zhao Ya’s mind.
If the Eastern King’s Legacy is in this place, does it mean the treasure has already been taken by the people of the Beast Taming Sect?
If so, he would suffer a great loss.
But things had reached this point, Zhao Ya could no longer worry about all that.
When the giant crane descended to a certain height, Zhao Ya seized the moment, suddenly let go, and then leaped towards a towering mountain forest.
The giant crane called out once and continued onward.
While still in the air, Zhao Ya had already pushed his Body Technique to the limit.
Because of carrying Zui’Er along this journey, Zhao Ya’s Body Technique had improved once again.
Even falling from dozens of meters high, Zhao Ya’s body remained as light as a feather, landing only on two branches before stabilizing his figure.
After that, Zhao Ya did not pause, immediately using the Spirit Turtle Hibernation Technique, disappearing into the depths of the mountain forest with a few flashes.
Although the giant crane couldn’t speak, there’s no guarantee the people of the Beast Taming Sect wouldn’t find some clue.
Therefore, Zhao Ya decided to hide himself first and make further plans.
Anyway, the Beast Taming Sect was right in front of him; now the enemy was in the open while he was in the dark, Zhao Ya was confident he could handle any trouble.
And just as Zhao Ya, through the carrying of the giant crane, reached the Beast Taming Sect’s base deep in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain,
the gray mist before an unnamed peak receded like a tide.
This mist came and went quickly; in just a few breaths, Ma Yufei could vaguely see the shadows of the surrounding mountain forest.
He let out a slight sigh of relief.
Knowing the mist had dispersed.
Indeed.
A minute later, daylight reappeared, and the chirping of insects and birds returned to the mountain forest.
Ma Yufei wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, secretly relieved that he was lucky this time, not encountering an Exotic Beast attack even amidst the gray mist.
But strangely, after waiting for a while, Ma Yufei still didn’t see Zhao Ya coming down from the peak.
Ma Yufei immediately had a bad premonition.
Logically, after seeing the mist retreat, Zhao Ya should have come down from the summit immediately.
Why was there still no news now?
After waiting a bit longer and still receiving no news, Ma Yufei couldn’t care if he’d disturb nearby wild beasts.
He took out a firecracker, lighting the fuse.
Moments later, the sound of the explosion echoed.
But there was no response from the summit.
Ma Yufei became anxious.
Though he had stated clearly when taking on the task that in the event of insurmountable danger, he would leave on his own.
But nothing of the sort had happened, and besides, he had been introduced by Song Li Zheng, so how could he just leave?
He looked at the towering peak, gritted his teeth, and began to climb.
Generally, mountain guests rarely climb peaks.
Most often, they just follow the trails between mountains, at most reaching halfway up.
Because the physical exertion of climbing is too great, it won’t be long before one is exhausted.
That would greatly increase personal risk.
But Ma Yufei couldn’t just leave like this.
Thankfully, it was still early, so Ma Yufei decided to give it a try.
His climbing speed naturally couldn’t compare to Zhao Ya’s; it took half an hour before Ma Yufei finally arduously reached the summit.
The summit was deserted, leaving behind just a line of words on the ground.
"I rode the giant bird into the deep mountains to take a look, no need to worry."
