Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The male beasts of the Oath Bird Army glanced at the four tribes present. The strongest male beast stood up and said, “Since everyone is here, let’s begin the trial.”

The leader of the crocodiles, Thaine, asked, “Do we start here?”

“Yes, the rules of the trial are very simple. You can set off for the inner city from here. According to the ranking you get, the first two can smoothly advance to the final trial, and the last two will be directly eliminated.”

It was indeed a very simple rule.

But the simpler it was, the more hidden dangers there were.

“Are you ready? We’ll begin soon.”

The leader of the lizard tribe, who had been napping, finally woke up. He slowly got up and turned into a handsome and cute young man.

Their witch doctor was about to go crazy. He grabbed his shoulder and shook him hard. “Stop sleeping! Wake up. The trial is about to begin!”

The young man rubbed his sleepy eyes. “Oh…”

At this moment, the Hundred Tempering Snake Tribe, the Tian Wu Crocodile Tribe, and the Rock Wolf Tribe were all ready.

At this critical moment, Xue Ling suddenly asked, “Can we fly over directly?”

The male beast who was the referee thought for a moment. When the Elders’ Association set the mission, they did not say that they could not fly over. Hence, he nodded. “Sure.”

Xue Ling smiled. “Good. I like that rule.”

The leader of the Hundred Tempering Snake Tribe immediately frowned and said, “That’s not fair! They can fly, so they’ll be much faster than us!”

The referee said indifferently, “So what? This is a rule set by the Elders’ Association. If you’re not satisfied, you can complain to the Elders’ Association.”

The leader of the Hundred Tempering Snake Tribe was speechless, and his expression darkened.

Xue Ling asked again, “Even if one person in the tribe reaches the inner city, will it only be considered a victory when all the beasts in the tribe arrive?”

The referee said, “Of course, all the beasts have to arrive.”

in this case, it would be useless even if Xue Ling reached the inner city first. The leader of the Hundred Tempering Snake Tribe laughed sinisterly.

Xue Ling ignored the sarcastic snake beast and reached out to pick Huanhuan up. “I’ll fly you over later.”

Huanhuan hugged his neck consciously.

He said to Shuang Yun and Bai Di, “We’ll go over first and wait for you at the inner city gate.”

Shuang Yun and Bai Di agreed. “No problem.”

The referee cleared his throat and ordered, “Begin!”

The beasts of the four tribes rushed in the direction they had planned!

Xue Ling spread his wings and flew into the sky with Huanhuan in his arms. Xue Hui and the other two feathered beasts followed closely behind.

From the sky, one could see the inner city.

Xue Ling carried Huanhuan and flew straight toward the inner city.

On the way, they encountered the feather guards in charge of patrolling the sky. They stopped Xue Ling and said, “You have to defeat us before you can pass.”

Hearing this, Xue Ling immediately reacted. “As our four tribes advance, will we encounter beasts like you who are tasked with stopping us?”

The leader of the feather guards responded, “Yup!”

Xue Ling chuckled. This seemingly simple trial was indeed not simple!

He handed Huanhuan to Xue Hui, then looked at the feather guards and asked calmly, “Tell me, are you planning to fight in a group or one-on-one? I’ll fight you.”

The captain didn’t answer. “Don’t tell me you want to fight alone?”

“I’m enough to deal with you small fries.”

The captain’s tone immediately became very ugly. “How arrogant!”

With that, the guard transformed into his beast form and pounced at Xue Ling!

…

A minute later, the guards were all knocked down. They couldn’t even fly.

Xue Ling tugged on his slightly messy sleeve and sighed calmly. “Young people are especially impulsive. They attack when there’s a disagreement. Look at this. You’ll have to lie in bed for a few months before you can get out of bed. Why do this to yourself?!”

The feather guards were speechless.

As angry as they were, they couldn’t find the words to refute him.

Xue Ling carried Huanhuan over and asked with a smile, “Was I cool just now?”

Huanhuan gave him a thumbs up. “Your acting skills have reached perfection. I’m impressed!”

After defeating the feather guards, Xue Ling flew to the inner city without any obstructions.

There were divine servants in charge of receiving them at the inner city gate. They didn’t seem to expect any beasts to reach the inner city so quickly. When they saw Xue Ling, they couldn’t help but be stunned.

Xue Ling identified himself. “The six of us are from the Rock Wolf Tribe.”

A divine servant quickly took out a roll of sheepskin and drew six dots under the name of the Rock Wolf Tribe. This meant that six beasts had arrived.

Huanhuan craned her neck to look into the distance. “When do you think Bai Di and Shuang Yun will reach the inner city?”

“If you want to know, I’ll fly you up to take a look.”

Xue Ling carried her into the sky again. They looked down from the sky and could see the beasts of the four tribes rushing to the inner city. They were all very fast.

As Xue Ling had expected, the four tribes were all intercepted by guards along the way.

The unlucky ones were the Tian Wu Crocodile Tribe. They had already encountered four interceptions in a row. Their progress was the slowest among the four tribes.

The fastest was the Hundred Tempering Snake Tribe. The Big Dipper Lizard Tribe followed closely behind. The Rock Wolf Tribe was in third place. They were not far from the first place, the Hundred Tempering Snake Tribe. They could catch up if they tried, but if they were careless, they would be left behind.

Huanhuan was worried for Bai Di and Shuang Yun. “Will we lose?”

Xue Ling was confident. “Don’t worry. Everything is in accordance with Bai Di’s expectations. They won’t lose.”

“What do you mean?”

“You’ll see.”

When there was only a fifth of the journey left, the Hundred Tempering Snake Tribe and the Big Dipper Lizard Tribe began their final sprint. They were getting closer and closer to the inner city.

Just as they were about to enter the city, they were stopped by two teams of guards.

Although they were anxious, the two tribes had no choice but to stop and deal with these two teams of guards first.

The Rock Wolf Tribe suddenly accelerated and caught up.

Huanhuan’s heart clenched. “Will they be stopped?”

Xue Ling said, “No.”

“Why?”

“Didn’t you notice just now? At most, two groups of guards will appear on each road at the same time. Bai Di must have seen this pattern and deliberately let the Big Dipper Lizard Tribe and the Hundred Tempering Snake Tribe help scout the way. The Rock Wolf Tribe can take the opportunity to pick up the spoils.”

As if to verify his words, the Rock Wolf Tribe really rushed into the inner city without any obstruction and successfully obtained first place!
