Chapter 716 - 217: [Heaven’s Wrath]
A moment later, Big White, now the size of a cat, had already nestled into Chen Yan’s embrace.
It was only then that the tension in Chen Yan’s heart finally subsided completely.
Stroking Big White’s fur, Chen Yan laughed and said, "You’re quite clever, knowing to transform into a cat to conceal your tracks."
Big White raised his head slightly, looking at Chen Yan with a hint of indifference.
"Alright, this battle originally had nothing to do with me. I intervened only because... I simply couldn’t stand it," Chen Yan sighed. "After all, even if it’s another world, I’m at least human."
Recalling that day behind the Fierce Beast Race’s camp, seeing those rows of boiling cauldrons...
Human slaves slaughtered like lambs.
Human corpses being tossed into the cauldrons for cooking...
And the ground littered with gnawed bones...
Chen Yan did not regret intervening in this war that originally did not concern him.
However...
The price was that this time, he exhausted all his stock of explosives! Especially the C4, completely clearing his inventory.
"It’s just... strange," Chen Yan, holding Big White, turned to look in the direction of Snow Cliff Pass. "Are the town generals there fools?"
He created such a catastrophic upheaval...
The Fierce Beast Race’s army must be in chaos!
He had deprived them of their return path and their supply lines...
It’s no surprise the Fierce Beast Race’s army chose to cease battle and retreat.
What puzzled him was... why did the defending army at Snow Cliff Pass make no move?
Logically, this would be the time to pursue and strike the enemy hard, and create even greater damage against the Fierce Beast Race, perhaps achieve greater victory!
The Fierce Beast Race was originally a motley crew, and even more scattered when routed.
Now if they were to dispatch the Thunder Riders, continuously biting at their heels from behind...
Yet inside Snow Cliff Pass, the defending army seemed indifferent, simply closing the city defenses again.
The Array on the defense looked as if it had been repaired — though Chen Yan could tell with the naked eye, the golden canopy of heaven and earth seemed much thinner than before.
"Would the Town General here really be an idiot?" Chen Yan frowned, pondering.
The initial bait battle sent eight hundred Thunder Riders out, resulting in complete annihilation.
Now with the enemy defeated and in retreat, no opportunistic pursuit?
What kind of general, not even as competent as a layman like me?

Chen Yan hugged Big White and continued to wait in the snow nest.
He planned to stay here until the war’s end was entirely over, and Snow Cliff Pass reopened, so he could enter the city.
Until then, he had no interest in roaming the Snowfield.
After eating and drinking his fill, hugging the warm furnace-like Big White, Chen Yan burrowed under the snow and fell asleep.
He didn’t know how long had passed when he suddenly felt something biting and tugging on his arm.
He opened his eyes to find Big White, in cat form, biting his left sleeve, pulling him vigorously.
Chen Yan was startled and immediately realized Big White was waking him up, possibly due to something outside.
He grabbed Big White with one hand and swiftly drew a knife with the other, then crouched and slipped out of the snow nest. But suddenly, Big White broke free from his embrace, dashed out onto the ground, ran a few steps forward, and lifted his head, staring straight into the distance...
Looking towards the depths of the Snowfield...
As Chen Yan turned to look, in an instant, his breath halted, and his eyes involuntarily widened!!
·
In the distant sky, meteors were falling one after another!
The sky was ablaze with meteors, each carrying fierce flames, whistling down towards the horizon!
Starry specks and countless fiery meteors falling! Like heavenly punishment!!
And in that direction, the sky was stained a faint orange!
This is fire! The color of flames!
Surely a massive fire had ignited in that place, the flames reaching high enough to tint the sky!
And in that direction, it’s as if half the sky is painted in a layer of orange...
"Such a vast... fire!"
Chen Yan was briefly stunned before suddenly reacting!
The ground burning so intensely, even coloring half the sky, must be...
The direction of Evil Land Mountain!!
"Beyond the Snowfield, that Sea of trees!!"
