Chapter 291: Searching for the Beast King
Zhou Yuan knew it was no big deal and prepared to remove it, but Carlisle still stuck her mouth to him and refused to move it.
Zhou Yuan deliberately made "oh oh" sounds that sounded like he was in pain. Caris was startled and stopped kissing him, her face flushing red.
"What's wrong? Are you alright?"
"Oh, it's nothing." Zhou Yuan touched his mouth. Kalis smiled, a beautiful smile. Zhou Yuan was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but kiss Kalis hard on the cheek. Kalis lowered her head shyly.
As the clouds began to brighten, Zhou Yuan quickly turned around.
"Carlisle, are we almost there?"
"Yes, it'll be soon." Kalis now seemed to have lost her queenly demeanor, acting like an ordinary young woman.
The two remained silent.
After more than ten minutes, the golden eagle began to descend. Soon after, Zhou Yuan noticed many white dots flashing ahead. The golden eagle let out another long hiss, which was echoed by the silver-white eagle behind it.
The white dots became clearer and clearer. Zhou Yuan saw that those white dots were the giant eagles of the elven army. The giant eagles flew back and forth quickly, and the elves shot out dense silver arrows.
Zhou Yuan took the opportunity to glance at the ground, which was a dark mass of people. The giants' ranks had been scattered by the beasts. On the ground, the giants formed many circles, their shields linked together, and their spears thrusting at the beasts from within the circles.
Marcus, the God of War, rampaged across the ground, slaughtering indiscriminately like a beast-slaying machine.
Kalis drew her starlight longsword, raised her shield, and soared into the air like an arrow, flying straight ahead. Behind her, more than fifty gods also took to the air, closely following her. These gods could fly. The remaining gods, who could not fly, were carried forward by a large silver-white eagle.
Zhou Yuan also leaped up, drawing his Azure Dragon Sword in mid-air. The sword hummed as he flipped and moved swiftly like a cannonball, quickly overtaking the gods and flying to Kalis's left.
The gods were puzzled to see Zhou Yuan flying and moving horizontally, while Kalis couldn't help but laugh at Zhou Yuan's strange appearance.
“Carlisle, like me, it’s faster this way.”
"Really?" Kalis was somewhat skeptical, but she still slowly turned over and stood up straight. It seemed that the feeling was indeed different. With a "whoosh," Kalis shot straight like an arrow and rushed into the elven army's ranks.
Seeing how fast Kalis was, the gods all followed suit, lying flat on their sides, and their speed indeed increased.
After this incident, the Western gods always flew horizontally before battle.
The elven and giant legions, seeing the God-King personally leading the gods to join the battle, were all invigorated and their confidence soared. The God of War, Marcus, looked up and saw that the God-King Kalis had already charged into the dense ranks of birds. The sky seemed to have a "hole," from which countless birds fell, and this "hole" was moving rapidly. Suddenly, Marcus noticed a powerful whirlwind sweeping across the sky, causing birds to fall in droves wherever it passed.
To the astonishment of the gods and Marcus, six powerful vortexes appeared in the sky. They only saw a figure flashing back and forth, creating vortexes wherever it went. As one vortex disappeared, another would appear, and there were always six vortexes existing at the same time. With each vortex, large numbers of birds fell to the ground.
Who is this? So powerful, even stronger than the God King, Marcus thought to himself, his confidence soaring. He roared and charged forward.
At this moment, the flying gods arrived at the avian camp and each displayed their skills, killing the birds.
Thor's hammer hurtled forward, piercing through a string of birds, then back through several more. Lightning bolts from the god of thunder, shimmering and crackling, struck the birds directly from the sky. Hephaestus breathed fire, scorching a row of birds and sending them crashing to the ground. Mehri's serpent staff, beams of intense light, pointed and struck, felling birds in its wake. Osta's golden whip, gleaming and crackling, moved swiftly like a serpent, felling birds wherever it went.
The gods who rode the giant eagle but couldn't fly also fought bravely and were incredibly valiant.
Between heaven and earth, a symphony of slaughter and lamentation resounded.
Carlis noticed the six vortexes created by Zhou Yuan, and was quite surprised. She was also invigorated and began to kill them frantically.
Thanks to the participation of Zhou Yuan, Kalis, and the gods, the elven legion was able to spare some troops to cooperate with the giant legion. These elves used silver arrows to bombard the beasts on the ground.
As the number of birds of prey in the sky decreased dramatically, the balance of power shifted, and the course of the war began to turn.
After about three hours of the gods' frenzied slaughter, the birds of prey in the sky were almost wiped out, leaving only five or six birds that turned around and fled in a frenzy. Zhou Yuan naturally did not let them go, flying like a fighter jet and killing them all.
Without the protection of the birds of prey in the sky, the beasts were attacked by the combined forces of the giant legion, the elven legion, and the gods, resulting in countless casualties. However, the beasts still swarmed in like a tide, dying in waves.
After nearly five hours of fierce fighting, many of the giants were exhausted.
Kalis hovered in the air, looking at the overwhelming hordes of ferocious beasts in the distance, feeling somewhat alarmed. Even Zhou Yuan, floating side by side, was surprised.
On the ground, huge carcasses of various ferocious beasts were piled up in layers, dividing the giants' army into sections like small mountains.
"Minova!" Carlisle shouted, her voice booming.
"Here," a goddess with delicate yet masculine beauty swiftly flew to Kalis's side.
"You will command the battle."
“Yes, God-King.” The Goddess of Wisdom accepted the order and left. Minova didn’t even ask Kalis what she was going to do; that was her wisdom.
"Zhou Yuan, let's go." Kalis shrieked, and the Golden Spirit Eagle swooped down from the sky. Zhou Yuan and Kalis took off simultaneously, landing directly on the Golden Spirit Eagle's back. This time, Kalis was in front of Zhou Yuan.
Carliss pointed her sword, and the Golden Spirit Eagle charged directly towards the direction from which the swarming beasts were coming.
"Carlisle, what do you want to do?"
"I'm going to kill the Beast King!"
Beast King? Zhou Yuan was surprised; he hadn't expected Kalis to know this.
"Kalis, do you know how the Beastmaster comes to be?"
"Those beasts attack in an orderly fashion, and they possess intelligence just like us. I am the God-King, so they should naturally have it too." Is this how Kalis compares herself to the Beast King?
"Well, that makes sense."
Zhou Yuan noticed that the sun was already setting in the west, around five o'clock in the afternoon. Fortunately, it was only May, and there was still some time before the sun went down.
"Let's find the Beast King as soon as possible and kill it. Otherwise, we'll be in trouble when it gets dark."
In other words, Carlisle and Zhou Yuan have about two hours left. Zhou Yuan is starting to admire Carlisle. When he's around Carlisle, his mind goes blank; he's not as clear-headed as her.
"it is good."
The golden eagle carried the two of them, flying rapidly in the direction from which the beasts were coming. On the ground, beasts continued to rush towards the eagle in a frenzy, and dust filled the air.
The Golden Eagle flew northwest for more than twenty minutes, and ahead of it was a continuous mountain range. The ferocious beasts roared and rushed out of many caves in the mountain range.
Zhou Yuan counted the caves; there were at least a hundred. Each cave entrance was quite large, about six meters high, and thirty meters wide at its widest point.
"So many cave entrances?" Kalis frowned, muttering to herself. With so many entrances, who knows which cave the Beast King is hiding in?
“Carliss, don’t worry, these caves should be connected, otherwise the wild animals in the other caves wouldn’t be moving so orderly.”
Suddenly realizing something, Kalis turned around, a wide smile on her face, and stared intently at Zhou Yuan. Then she sighed and said softly, "This time, will we be able to get back alive?" With that, she took a step forward and tightly embraced Zhou Yuan with her right hand. Caught off guard, Zhou Yuan swayed slightly, feeling Kalis pull him back. He regained his balance, and Kalis's beautiful face appeared before him. Her lips were already sealed with his, and Zhou Yuan responded passionately. The two kissed passionately, lost in their own world.
Zhou Yuan felt something wet on his left cheek. Were those tears from Kalis? Zhou Yuan slowly looked away and, sure enough, saw tears falling from Kalis's right cheek.
Carlisle, what are you worried about? Are you worried that you might not come back?
"Carlisle, don't do this. We'll get back alive, believe me."
Zhou Yuan wiped away the tears on Carlis's right cheek with his right hand. Carlis managed a weak smile and choked out, "I hope so."
"Kalis, definitely, trust me." Zhou Yuan gently kissed Kalis on the cheek.
Suddenly, the Golden Spirit Eagle let out a sharp cry, which attracted the attention of all the beasts. They seemed startled when they saw the Golden Spirit Eagle's massive body, but they quickly turned tail and ran away.
Carliss turned around, and Zhou Yuan noticed that the mountain was not far ahead, about three hundred meters away.
The Golden Eagle flew another hundred meters forward and circled in front of the mountainside, seemingly waiting for Carlisle's command.
After circling four times, the Golden Spirit Eagle let out a deafening cry. Kalis suddenly turned around, circled behind Zhou Yuan, hugged him tightly with her right hand, and pressed her body directly against him.
The Golden Spirit Eagle suddenly accelerated and swooped forward. It was so fast that Zhou Yuan saw wild beasts flashing by on the ground, followed by the huge beast's body. Several beasts raised their sharp claws and pounced into the air.
The golden eagle shook violently, its wings flapping rapidly to maintain balance. Kalis held Zhou Yuan tightly. With its two sharp talons, the golden eagle hurled the two captured beasts forward. The two beasts flew towards the cave entrance, crashing into the beasts already there. The beasts panicked, and the golden eagle, no longer flapping its wings, used its momentum to quickly and smoothly approach the cave entrance. With a "whoosh," it entered the cave. Zhou Yuan immediately felt a darkness before his eyes and a chill seeping into his bones. Kalis, who was wearing little clothing, couldn't help but shiver.
About ten seconds later, sensing a clear opening ahead, the Golden Spirit Eagle began to soar upwards. It had already entered the cave, but inside, it was even colder and darker. Zhou Yuan stared intently, noticing that the cave was incredibly vast, at least sixty meters high. On the ground, numerous ferocious beasts were "lining up," each with eyes shining like lanterns. They were "lining up" at the cave entrance, pouring out in waves.
Zhou Yuan now finally understands Carlisle's concerns.
The ferocious beasts on the cave floor seemed to notice the giant eagle in the sky, roaring deafeningly and slashing at the air with their sharp talons.
The Golden Spirit Eagle wanted to find a place to land, but although the cave walls were uneven, there was no place for it to land. So the Golden Spirit Eagle could only circle back and forth in the air.
After circling three times, the Golden Spirit Eagle began to descend, flying through the passage between the caves. Upon reaching another cave, it circled twice more. Zhou Yuan and Kalis found no unusual beast. Then, the Golden Spirit Eagle descended again, flying through the passage to a third cave. After circling twice more, it still did not see the "Beast King".
