Chapter 404: Chapter 404: Catching Butterflies (Part 1)
After taking on the task of capturing the Human-faced Butterfly, Zhang Yuan did not rush to Mo Yuan.
Firstly, because Su Jingyao gave him enough ti, there was no need to hurry; secondly, he needed to practice until the Thousand Threads Net was as deft as an arm, requiring diligent practice.
Su Jingyao told Zhang Yuan that the strength of the Human-faced Butterfly, when compared to a Martial Artist, was equivalent to the level of Tier Five to Six.
If the Thousand Threads Net doesn’t hit in one strike, and it escapes, it’s almost impossible to capture it again.
Therefore, Zhang Yuan only has one chance to capture it alive!
In the following days, Zhang Yuan continued as usual, practicing "Primordial Celestial Spirit True thod" at the Naless Mountain Peak in the morning, attending lectures at the Martial Pavilion in the morning, and cultivating "Six Harmonies Qilin Body," "Breaking Army Saber Technique," and other cultivation and martial arts in the afternoon.
His schedule was packed every day.
Interestingly, since driving Xiao Hong away last ti, Xiao Yan had remained quiet.
It seems they gave up trying to recruit him.
However, Zhang Yuan beca even more vigilant instead of lowering his guard.
He knew clearly that soone as proud as Xiao Yan would not easily tolerate failure; once focused on a target, he would not stop until he achieved his goal.
A retracted fist would inevitably strike again with a deadly blow!
Therefore, despite the hustle and bustle within the Martial Pavilion, Zhang Yuan kept to himself, uninvolved, focusing solely on Martial Arts cultivation.
anwhile, the alliance team led by Xiao Yan was growing increasingly large.
More martial artists joined his actions.
The plan to conquer Mo Yuan Black Dragon Pool formulated by this Celestial-Human Royal Family mber even attracted the attention of the Upper Scenic Celestial’s higher-ups.
The Upper Scenic Celestial also provided so support, enhancing Xiao Yan’s prestige.
It’s undeniable that Xiao Yan truly deserves the na of a prodigy, possessing both strength and capability, a natural leader.
This led to Zhang Yuan, who "did not know what’s good for him," becoming the most marginalized person in the Martial Pavilion.
Completely isolated!
But Zhang Yuan felt it was quite good this way; it was best if others didn’t disturb him.
Half a month later, he felt he was well-prepared enough, so early one morning, he set out for Mo Yuan again.
The Grand Canyon stretching thousands of miles, a world shrouded in clouds and mist, constantly changing every mont.
The path that Zhang Yuan had previously explored had many reference markers that had disappeared after more than half a month.
Zhang Yuan clearly felt Mo Yuan’s growing malice towards him.
This feeling was profound and mysterious, indescribable in words, but it indeed affected his spirit and awareness.
Flap flap～
Accompanied by the sound of wings flapping, the Red-eyed Crow darted out of the mist and landed on Zhang Yuan’s shoulder.
Zhang Yuan stroked its black feathers and then retrieved it into the Divine Nest.
Zhang Yuan’s expression beca solemn.
The Red-eyed Crow was the best scout, equivalent to his third eye, adept at pathfinding and enemy searching.
However, today, the Red-eyed Crow faced unprecedented difficulties in Mo Yuan.
The malice from Mo Yuan not only targeted Zhang Yuan but also affected the Red-eyed Crow, robbing it of its usual agility, as if forcibly bound by an invisible, heavy shackle.
This caused Zhang Yuan’s Qi and Blood Value to deplete rapidly!
As a Divine Nest Host, once the Red-eyed Crow leaves the Divine Nest, it consus Zhang Yuan’s Qi and Blood Value.
The faster and higher it flies, the more aggressive its actions, the greater the consumption of Qi and Blood.
But under normal circumstances, even if the Red-eyed Crow flew outside all day, it wouldn’t reduce Zhang Yuan’s Qi and Blood Value below the safety line.
Yet today’s situation was entirely different!
Realizing this, Zhang Yuan decisively retrieved it to prevent further depletion of Qi and Blood Value.
His Qi and Blood Value is akin to a mana bar for casting, the fundantal elent in activating the host’s extraordinary abilities, crucial for combat power and endurance.
In such a special environnt like Mo Yuan, not paying attention to the consumption of Qi and Blood Value could easily lead to dangerous situations.
But without the Red-eyed Crow acting as a scout, Zhang Yuan’s exploration of Mo Yuan beca significantly more challenging.
Fortunately, his perception ability was strong enough, even though it was affected by Mo Yuan, he maintained an acuity far exceeding his peers.
As the exploration area expanded, Zhang Yuan realized that the malice from Mo Yuan was omnipresent.
Being in it, there was absolutely no way to avoid it!
And such malice was unlikely to target him alone.
Zhang Yuan speculated that anyone entering Mo Yuan today would receive the sa "attention."
As for why this was happening, it was beyond his knowledge.
But that Mo Yuan had beco more dangerous was an undeniable fact!
Should he go back?
A thought flashed through Zhang Yuan’s mind.
He had enough ti to complete Su Jingyao’s task; if today’s situation wasn’t right, he could return tomorrow.
But what if the situation was the sa tomorrow?
Awooo～
Just as Zhang Yuan hesitated, suddenly a wolf’s howl reached his ears from afar.
Zhang Yuan’s expression changed.
Mist Wolves!
He had previously explored Mo Yuan multiple tis with Xiao Hong’s team and encountered Mist Wolves three tis.
The Mist Wolf’s howl was distinctive, recognizable at once.
And every ti a wolf’s howl was heard, Xiao Hong would imdiately retreat, never continuing the exploration risk.
Such dread of these fierce beasts was understandable!
The reason was actually simple; although the individual strength of a Mist Wolf wasn’t strong, it never acted alone; the appearance of one guaranteed hundreds or thousands more.
Even Tier Six experts couldn’t withstand the siege of a wolf pack!
Without any hesitation, Zhang Yuan quickly enhanced his agility tenfold and imdiately executed a body technique to retreat.
Awoo! Awoo! Awooo～
But to Zhang Yuan’s utter surprise, wolf howls ca from behind him and on both sides.
He had fallen into the wolves’ encirclent!
And this was evidently due to not having the Red-eyed Crow as a scout.
Zhang Yuan had no ti for regret.
His eyes scanned left and right, suddenly leaping high toward a nearby towering tree.
Mo Yuan canyon housed nurous ancient trees, extrely tall and sturdy.
The tree Zhang Yuan selected was so thick that even two people couldn’t wrap their arms around it.
In the instant he collided with the trunk, his right foot lightly tapped, borrowing force to leap upward again.
Landing on a branch.
At this ti, Zhang Yuan peered down from above, seeing agile wolf beasts sprinting in from all directions.
A Mist Wolf was comparable to a small calf, its entire body covered in gray-black fur; they were much taller and stronger than wild wolves, and their actions were well-coordinated, unlike any ordinary beast pack.
What was chilling was that these Mist Wolves ran almost silently, stirring up gray dust clouds, moving as if riding on clouds.
In just a mont, hundreds of Mist Wolves gathered beneath the tree where Zhang Yuan hid.
Awooo～
A Mist Wolf raised its head and howled.
All the other Mist Wolves simultaneously raised their heads, pairs of scarlet wolf eyes focused on Zhang Yuan!
