Chapter 415: Chapter 317: The New Favorite Xiaohuang, Imperial Army! (Double Release)

In the town.

”Are you saying you saw that Eagle Demon and the Great Demon Kestrel?!” Yang Zhen looked at the returning Song Changming in shock.

The reappearance of the giant eagle was one thing, but the arrival of the Great Demon Kestrel was no small matter.

”Are you sure?” Yang Zhen couldn’t help but confirm repeatedly.

Song Changming shook his head, not entirely certain.

He had never seen the Great Demon of West Valley Road, so he couldn’t be conclusive; he only knew about the Kestrel’s identity from the giant eagle’s mouth.

Moreover, the giant eagle being battered by that woman was enough to prove that her strength might have reached Great Demon Level.

”If this is true, we must report this to our superiors with utmost urgency.” Yang Zhen’s expression was extremely serious.

After some consideration, he quickly sent a Centurion from the troops back to report the situation to the military immediately, then turned to Song Changming.

”There’s no time to lose, Changming, take me to the forest you mentioned.”

”Yes.” Song Changming agreed.

Yang Zhen left the main force, taking only Song Changming and three Commanders with him.

”Fu Yuan, the team is in your hands.” Xing Tiexin instructed before leaving.

After he left, it was Fu Yuan he trusted the most.

”Don’t worry, General.” Fu Yuan immediately agreed, nodded at Song Changming, signaling him to be careful.

If that Great Demon returns, this would be quite dangerous.

Just as he was about to look away, he suddenly noticed a small head, barely larger than a thumb, emerging from the clenched fist of Song Changming’s left hand.

With red beady eyes, a sharp and long beak, and fluffy yellow down.

”Changming, where did you get a chick?” he asked, puzzled.

”I found it in the forest, thought it seemed quite Spiritual, so I brought it back.” Song Changming explained briefly, opening his palm.

The chick stood calmly in his palm, using its beak to groom the down on its body slightly.

Having been held in Song Changming’s hand, its fluff was a bit tousled.

”Chirp chirp!”

It just glanced at Fu Yuan, then raised its head, chirping twice at Song Changming as if complaining about something.

Fu Yuan leaned in a little closer, took a few more glances, and nodded, ”It does lack Demon Qi, not a Demon Beast, seems newly hatched, yet possessing such intelligence is indeed rare.”

Such Spiritually intelligent ordinary animals were popular in the city’s pet market, sometimes even exchanged for Spirit Crystals.

Xing Tiexin and Yang Zhen only glanced casually at the chick, not taking much notice.

Their thoughts were focused on the Great Demon.

That Kestrel was the main cause of this Demon scourge affecting several territories, allowing them no relaxation.

Song Changming tucked the chick into his armor, then led the way towards the forest outside the town.

Soon, they arrived at the place where Song Changming had previously seen the Great Demon and the giant eagle.

”There are indeed two strong traces of Demon Qi lingering here!” Yang Zhen suspended in the air and extended his Perception, instantly detecting clues.

The Demon Qi was so thick that it hadn’t dissipated completely even now.

This alone was enough to indicate that extraordinarily powerful Demons had passed through here.

Yang Zhen glanced around, quickly locking his gaze on the high peak, flying closer to its summit.

Song Changming and the others followed immediately.

The peak rose into the clouds, its summit chillingly cold.

”The Demon Qi here seems even more concentrated!” Yang Zhen said intently.

Song Changming let the high cold winds beat against him, his gaze fixed on the peak and the unique large bird’s nest there.

”Is that?!” Yang Zhen also noticed the nest built atop the flower field.

Such a distinctive spot, one couldn’t help but make assumptions.

”Could this be the giant eagle’s nest.”

”Very likely!”

They all had the same thought.

After confirming no Demon Race was present, they landed at the summit, approaching the gigantic bird’s nest.

Seeing the Spirit Crystals occasionally scattered near the nest, Song Changming couldn’t help but associate them with the batch of Spirit Crystals he had acquired earlier, perhaps they scattered from this nest.

Yang Zhen merely glanced at the Spirit Crystals on the ground, dismissing them, focusing on the interior of the nest.

Inside the nest were quite a few piled Spirit Crystals, along with a faint scent of blood and avian beasts, proving this wasn’t an abandoned place.

The chick peeked out from Song Changming’s armor collar, blinking its beady eyes as it looked at the huge bird’s nest, seemingly contemplating something.

Just as Yang Zhen was about to inspect further, a sudden gust of Demon wind howled through, freezing the already cold peak until even the air seemed solidified, creating a suffocating tension.

They tensed, instinctively turning around.

In the Demon wind and surrounding clouds, a white-clothed woman had appeared before them, unnoticed when she arrived.

Pale golden eyes locked onto them, her expression indifferent.

”Damn!” Xing Tiexin and the three commanders felt a weight in their hearts.

Even Song Changming hadn’t expected the suspected Great Demon woman to return so swiftly, while the giant eagle was nowhere to be found.

If she truly possessed the power of a Great Demon, their combined efforts would have no chance of victory.

With Yang Zhen as the Little Flag Master, at most they could only stall briefly.

Perhaps it was an illusion, but Song Changming suddenly sensed that the woman’s attention was more focused on him.

She slowly raised her slender right hand, seemingly about to reach for him.

”Chirp.”

The chick, with only its head sticking out, perhaps frightened, abruptly let out a chirp, its tiny voice instantly swallowed by the cold wind, unnoticed by anyone amidst the tense urgency.
