Not long after Chen Yue flew away, looking at the group of elemental beasts closely following behind, a trace of doubt suddenly flashed in his eyes.

  "Strange. How could there be so many second-level elemental beasts all of a sudden? Could someone be playing tricks?"

  He muttered to himself. Kaxiu's originally relaxed expression disappeared, and a bit of solemnity appeared on his ordinary face.

  He secretly scanned his surroundings, but with his eyesight, he couldn't find anything unusual. Helplessly, he could only turn his gaze to his familiars. However, at this time, Chen Yue had already left, and his familiars also found nothing.

  After thinking for a moment, Kaxiu didn't make any drastic reactions. He still played a game of chase with the group of elemental beasts behind him. Only his three familiars never left within three meters of him.

  ...

  Flying around the entire dangerous area and flying back to the Trial City were completely different things. Although the plain where Kaxiu was located was on the outskirts of the dangerous area, it was only a half-day's journey from the Trial City. When Chen Yue vigorously flapped the Wings of Flight and flew at top speed, it only took him an hour to see the outline of the Trial City.

  Chen Yue landed on a small hill outside the Trial City. After putting away the Wings of Flight, he quickly entered the Trial City.

  "West and the others probably aren't in the inn, right?" With this thought in his mind, Chen Yue stepped into the inn hall.

  As Chen Yue expected, he didn't see West and the others. Although the two sides ultimately didn't reach a unanimous agreement due to an accident, the plan to ambush Kaxiu on the way was proposed by West and the others. Presumably, West and the others were also working hard in the dangerous area at this time.

  Just as Chen Yue was about to leave, a person in the corner stood up and quickly walked towards him.

  "Chen Yue, please wait a moment."

  Surprised, Chen Yue turned around and recognized the other person. He was a second-level apostle from West's team, but Chen Yue couldn't remember his name.

  "Did West ask you to wait for me here?" Chen Yue raised his eyebrows and said.

  The man nodded respectfully, not daring to show the slightest negligence in his expression. Obviously, the confrontation between Chen Yue and the rough-faced man had already intimidated most people. At this moment, in his eyes, Chen Yue's status was already different.

  "Last time, we didn't reach an agreement due to some accidents. However, West and the others have already set out to look for Kaxiu's trace. He asked me to wait here and inform you when I saw you." The man didn't dare to look directly at Chen Yue and said helplessly after a pause, "However, this plan might have to be abandoned. West and the others had bad luck. They searched for two days but didn't find any trace. With Kaxiu's strength, I'm afraid he will arrive at the Trial City within today or tomorrow."

  After a pause, he said expectantly, "After Kaxiu arrives, he will be our biggest enemy. West's intention is to hope that you can join the team and we can act together so that Kaxiu won't have the chance to defeat us one by one..."

  "No need." Before he could finish speaking, Chen Yue interrupted him indifferently. "I know you have a way to contact West. Tell him to arrive at this place within three hours. Maybe your plan can continue to be carried out."

  After telling the location of that plain, Chen Yue turned around and left the inn, leaving the second-level apostle with a shocked expression on his face.

  Chen Yue wasn't afraid that West wouldn't come. Compared with Chen Yue's strength, West was undoubtedly much weaker. Kaxiu was also a greater danger to him. He definitely hoped to get rid of Kaxiu as soon as possible. Otherwise, he wouldn't have proposed the plan to ambush Kaxiu on the way.

  Not long after leaving the Trial City, Chen Yue felt that someone was following him.

  It couldn't be West's people. That person should have been eager to inform West. So, after he showed his strength and intimidated most people, who else would dare to follow behind him?

  The angry face of the rough-faced man flashed through Chen Yue's mind, and he sneered. It must be his people.

  His powerful physical strength showed that Chen Yue's strength was definitely not comparable to that of ordinary apostles. He could intimidate ordinary third-level apostles. However, in the eyes of those at the peak of the third level, although they were wary of him, they wouldn't be afraid of him.

  Especially the rough-faced man. He was carelessly knocked away by Chen Yue and ended up in a sorry state. He definitely couldn't swallow this anger. It was only a matter of time before he would seek revenge. Chen Yue had been hovering over the dangerous area these two days. They couldn't find him and must have been extremely anxious.

  "I'll settle accounts with you guys later."

  Dealing with Kaxiu was the top priority now. Chen Yue didn't want any unexpected troubles, so he decided to get rid of them.

  There were two third-level apostles following Chen Yue.

  Considering Chen Yue's strength, they didn't dare to follow too closely. As soon as they found that Chen Yue had returned to the Trial City, they informed the rough-faced man. At this time, all they needed to do was to follow Chen Yue closely.

  The Chen Yue in front seemed to be unaware of them and didn't show any abnormality. However, when Chen Yue walked towards the dangerous area, one of them exclaimed in surprise, "What is he going there for? There are quite a few third-level elemental beasts there."

  After more than a month, they basically knew which places in the dangerous area were relatively safe and which places were extremely dangerous. Unexpectedly, Chen Yue's target at this time seemed to be those most dangerous places.

  The two looked at each other, and they could see deep shock in each other's eyes. You should know that for these extremely dangerous places, not to mention them, even a person like the rough-faced man would only dare to enter after gathering a large number of subordinates.

  Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.

  "Should we follow?" The other one swallowed hard and said with difficulty.

  The apostle who spoke first hesitated for a long time before saying, "Follow him. Maybe he's just passing by."

  The other one nodded vigorously. At this time, they could only think like this.

  However, after seeing Chen Yue enter that area straight and be surrounded by a large number of elemental beasts, the two were so shocked that they couldn't say a word. They had to admit that Chen Yue's target was indeed there.

  The worst of those elemental beasts were second-level ones. The two didn't dare to get close at all and instead retreated desperately for fear that if they were careless and were discovered by these elemental beasts, death would be the only thing waiting for them.

  From a distance, they could only see the group of elemental beasts moving continuously towards the rear. Obviously, Chen Yue didn't die but was moving deeper instead.

  When the rough-faced man rushed over from elsewhere, he only saw his two stunned subordinates. Chen Yue had long disappeared without a trace.

  ...

  After moving a bit further away, before the third-level elemental beasts arrived, Chen Yue used Light Escape and disappeared. Then he spread the Wings of Flight, flapped them once, and flew straight up into the sky, heading towards the place where Kaxiu was.

  An hour later, Chen Yue arrived above the plain where Kaxiu was. Kaxiu hadn't gone far and was quickly found by Chen Yue.

  Hovering over a thousand meters above the ground, Chen Yue was lost in thought without saying a word.

  The situation that Kaxiu was facing now was much worse than before, but he still only summoned those three familiars. Chen Yue was extremely patient and just stayed there. After watching for more than two hours, Kaxiu still didn't have any intention of summoning other familiars.

  If it were someone else, they might think that this was Kaxiu's real strength and thus think that they had grasped all his situations and become careless.

  His eyes swept over the three familiars one by one, and Chen Yue sneered.

  "Have you discovered my existence? Or are you just suspicious? However, you're really patient. You can endure it for three or four hours."

  Just by looking at the distance between those familiars and Kaxiu, Chen Yue judged that he must have noticed something after all.

  Otherwise, although the group of elemental beasts surrounding him was strong, there were no third-level elemental beasts, and their strength was ultimately limited. As long as he summoned that three-star, third-level familiar, it wouldn't be too difficult for him to wipe out this large group of elemental beasts and break through the encirclement.

  From his performance, Chen Yue also saw that this person was extraordinary. At least, in terms of patience, he was much more tenacious and outstanding than ordinary people. It wasn't something that ordinary apostles could do to be able to pretend to be weak for three or four hours just for a certain guess.

  Discovering this, Chen Yue became even more vigilant. When dealing with such a person, he had to go all out at all times because you couldn't know whether the strength he showed before was all he had.

  "Hmm?"

  After a while, Chen Yue's gaze shifted to the direction of the Trial City. In the air three or four hundred meters away, a black dot was rapidly expanding.

  "It's West and the others. They're finally here."

  West and the others actually had a flying familiar. Chen Yue didn't show too much surprise on his face.

  After all, if they didn't even have a flying familiar, the so-called searching in the dangerous area and ambushing Kaxiu would be a joke.

  That flying familiar looked like a flying crocodile, but it had three heads. The left head was extremely large, looking ferocious and terrifying. The right head wasn't big, only half the size of the left one. Strangely, its eyes were tightly closed. The middle head was the strangest. The other two heads still had some signs of flesh at least, but it seemed to be made of stone, completely showing no signs of life. Even its face seemed to be painted on.

  "What kind of familiar is this?"

  Chen Yue frowned deeply when he saw it. This familiar gave him a strange feeling.

  Looking at the area below the three-headed crocodile, there were three halos floating, indicating that it was undoubtedly a three-star familiar.

  Among West's six-person team, there was only one third-level apostle. Presumably, it should be his familiar.

  However, for some reason, Chen Yue always had a bad feeling.

  After arriving at the plain, the speed of the three-headed crocodile immediately slowed down. Soon, they found Kaxiu's trail. To avoid being discovered, they had already risen to a height of more than five hundred meters.

  Chen Yue was quite far away from them. No matter how good his hearing was, he couldn't hear their conversation. He could only vaguely see that after finding Kaxiu, the six people's faces were a bit excited. However, they didn't immediately go down to launch a sneak attack.

  The three-headed crocodile circled around the plain for a large circle. Chen Yue understood that they should be looking for him.

  After all, the location was provided by him. Logically speaking, he should have arrived earlier than them.

  Just to be cautious, Chen Yue flew several hundred meters higher. He was now a thousand meters away from West and the others. As for Kaxiu, he could hardly see clearly.

  During this period, some people also looked up, but under the cover of the Spirit Realm and the glassy cover, with their eyesight, they obviously couldn't discover Chen Yue who was a thousand meters away.

  Not finding Chen Yue, the six people were obviously a bit puzzled and started a heated discussion.

  What made Chen Yue feel strange was that the other five people seemed to be a bit wary of West. When discussing, they also centered around West. This was completely different from what Chen Yue had observed in the inn hall.

  "Strange. What's their relationship? Could it be that West is playing tricks on me?"

  Just as Chen Yue was in doubt, the six people seemed to have reached some agreement.

  Then, their gazes all turned to an empty place where there was no one.

  In the next moment, the three-headed crocodile suddenly let out a cry, and the eyes of the right head suddenly opened wide.

  Those were a pair of completely white eyes, without pupils and without any impurities.

  A strong sense of crisis surged from the bottom of Chen Yue's heart.

  Almost without thinking, Chen Yue's body reacted directly. He vigorously flapped the light wings on his back, and his speed reached the maximum in an instant. In an instant, he crossed over a thousand meters and reached a height of more than three thousand meters.

  At the moment of crossing three thousand meters, Chen Yue clearly felt that a ripple just brushed past the bottom of his feet by a hair's breadth.

  "Whoosh."

  Suddenly rising to a height of three thousand meters, Chen Yue slowed down his speed, took a deep breath, and a sharp edge shone through his eyes:

  "No, there should be seven people on that three-headed crocodile."

  ...
