Chapter 568: Chapter 354: Sophia's Return (4K)
Sophia's Black Crow flew swiftly, and thanks to its Phantom Night Eyes talent, it could also dodge some of the energy tides. Through the tireless, relentless, die-and-die-again Black Crow, the speed of exploration was quite fast, and she gradually became certain that at the core of this Furious Region, there existed a 'passage' to another domain.
"The deeper we go, the closer the distance between the sky and the earth becomes, and at the most central part the distance might be less than a hundred meters."
She rode on the back of Lian Yue, gazing into the distance.
Lian Yue was responsible for dodging, Seventeen for vigilance, and she for observation.
The three of them penetrated deeper with their fiery combination technique, and even managed to find a gap where the energy tides were sparse, but that was as far as they could go.
"Unless we possess the power of the Legendary Realm, otherwise, it's impossible to shatter the energy tides and move deeper across this region."
Sophia furrowed her brows.
The three of them together had the capability to stand against, and even defeat, ordinary legends, but… even if they could defeat an ordinary legend, in terms of 'force,' 'energy,' and 'endurance,' they were far inferior to true legends.
While traversing, they had to tear open the energy tides. Only Lian Yue was capable of doing so among them, but Lian Yue had to erupt in power, far from the free and easy mastery of a true Legend.
It's not that simply tearing through the energy tides and charging deeper would allow them to pass through.
She concluded that even if the 'passage' existed, its area wouldn't be very large, which meant they needed sufficient strength to search carefully at the core of this dangerous zone.
Their strength was obviously not enough.
Mu Yuan pondered whether to send General Dead Bone on a trip to the Furious Region, but the current situation was tense, and that region was extremely far from their territory.
For Dead Bone to make the journey there, it would take at least two days. Two days wasn't long, but if the battle situation changed, Tianyuan Territory without General Dead Bone present would be fatally weakened.
Besides…
"The Furious Region here is far more expansive than the dangerous zone Sophia and her team have discovered. In such a vast area, searching for a possible 'passage' would undoubtedly consume a lot of time."
This was one of his hesitations.
Ultimately, it's because Tianyuan Territory doesn't have enough legendary warriors. If he had eight or ten legendary generals, there wouldn't be such a significant decrease in the security of the territory due to the absence of one or two people.
Still too weak.
However, if Tianyuan Territory had already birthed eight or ten legendary warriors, he would have counterattacked against Fang of the Jackal Wolf by now instead of slowly probing.
Unable to make up his mind, Mu Yuan decided to discuss it with General Dead Bone, Lu Liu, and Isloa.
He certainly did have many capable assistants as a lord.
Isloa said with exasperation, "I'm already overwhelmed with the affairs of my domain, and my knowledge of the external battlefield is still a day and a half old. Asking me about this is useless.
I haven't even finished arranging tasks for the more than ten thousand new Territory Citizens, Lord, you should think about it, if these people's jobs are delayed even by a day, the domain loses a day's earnings. Do you think I have the spare time to consider anything else?"
She had a point.
Go ahead and get busy then.
Mu Yuan saw off Isloa and turned to look at Lu Liu, who had just returned.
Lu Liu shared some intelligence from the elves and giants.
He added, "Jun had an accident, ambushed by a legendary creature. It claimed the legend attacked it, tricking this young hawk and causing it significant injury. It might not be able to enter those dangerous zones for some time."
Although in his view, Jun's injury had a lot to do with it being too reckless and flamboyant.
Lu Liu, through the shared vision with Jun, had seen all of it.
But then again, Jun was not small in size, surrounded by a halo of azure divine light when flying, so keeping a low profile might indeed be difficult.
Lu Liu said, "These past few days, Jun has attracted... encountered a few legendary creatures, but as a result, we've recorded information about these legends, including their appearance, domains, and so on."
Mu Yuan took the intelligence Lu Liu presented.
Upon inspection, it was especially detailed, exceedingly so.
It included the entire process of Jun's encounters with legendary creatures, to the extent that it detailed the posture of Jun in flight, the enemy's flying speed (precisely in meters per second), whether the enemy first raised their left or right hand when striking, the enemy…
Wait!
The battle reports Lu Liu handed over had at least two thousand words each, and some had four thousand, six thousand, or even more. They also included Lu Liu's hand-drawn 'legendary domain portraits.'
When did Lu Liu learn to draw?
No, that's not important. Didn't he ask Lu Liu to come over to hear his opinion? How did it turn into a work report?
"Why don't I give it a try?" suggested Lu Liu. "I might be able to withstand the energy tides."
He might.
However, Lu Liu wasn't known for his speed, and even if he could withstand the energy tides, how many times could he bear it? The problems he would face diving into the Furious Region were similar to those of Sophia and her team.
Asking Lu Liu might have been futile, and Mu Yuan had no choice but to contact General Dead Bone.
"Dead Bone, what do you think?"
General Dead Bone was currently deep in the wilderness, also chasing down the lair of Fang of the Jackal Wolf.
Jun was the scout in the open.
Mu Yuan had never counted on finding the enemy's lair with just Jun or scouts from the elves and giants.
