Nothing happened that night, and Su Yang safely passed through the night. The next morning, Su Yang suddenly woke up, sat up and looked around. He checked the radar and found that there were no objects within a hundred meters. Only then did he feel at ease. After eating some food, he set off.
As the North Korean Blood Squad continued to approach, they walked for a long time without detecting any reaction on the radar. Su Yang stopped and pondered, "We haven't found any trace of elemental reactions along the way. Could it be that they left last night?"
Just as he was wondering, six objects appeared on the right side of the radar, moving slowly. "No wonder I didn't see anyone. Looks like they went to a safe place to rest last night. Judging by their speed, they probably didn't use elemental power today." With that thought, Su Yang approached their location and continued to follow behind them. They didn't seem to stop along the way, so they probably hadn't encountered any enemies. According to Die'er's description, Su Yang was currently in the middle of the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts. If all went well, he could leave the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts before nightfall, which made Su Yang feel relieved.
After walking for a long time, the six points of light finally stopped ahead. Su Yang estimated the time; it should be noon now. The sky was still covered with dark clouds, and the light in the forest was not very bright. "They must be taking a short break. I'll rest for a while too," Su Yang thought, and sat down on the spot. He took out some dried meat to eat and also gave some to Xiao Ju. Xiao Ju had been very well-behaved along the way, without making a fuss or running around. Su Yang held it in his arms and gently stroked its head as a reward. Just as he was stroking the cat's head, two points of light appeared on Su Yang's radar, approaching from behind.
"A ferocious beast is approaching?" Su Yang stood up, without activating his elemental power, found a tree and climbed up, hiding in the leaves to observe the movements below. Before long, a man and a woman slowly came to the foot of the tree; they were Yuwen Rongxuan and his sister.
"Stop first. The scent of the beast-attracting powder is not far ahead. It seems they have stopped," Yuwen Rongxuan said.
"This Blood Squad is really lucky. They survived several battles against A-level ferocious beasts yesterday," Yuwen Zuoqing, the younger sister, complained.
"Hehe, it's alright. We still have a long way to go to get out of the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts. We'll get them some more food along the way and take a break." Yuwen Rongxuan was in no hurry. After saying that, the two of them sat down to rest under the tree where Su Yang was hiding. At this moment, Yuwen Zuoqing pulled out a piece of dried meat from under her buttocks and then complained, "Dried meat from a ferocious beast? Where did this come from?"
Yuwen Rongxuan took the dried meat and examined it carefully: "It was probably food for the Blood Squad, they probably threw it away."
"Is this all they eat? How can they swallow this?" Yuwen Zuoqing complained and threw away the dried meat with disgust, then said, "Brother, the effect of our beast-repelling powder is almost over, let's reapply it."
“Alright.” Yuwen Rongxuan didn’t waste any words, took out the beast-avoiding powder from his bag, and the two of them took it.
Su Yang, who was hiding in the tree, heard all of this. After thinking for a while, Su Yang thought, "These two must have been following that Blood Squad. It's very likely that I drugged them to be able to track their location. I was too careless to leave a piece of jerky down there. Luckily, they didn't suspect anything. I need to be more careful in the future."
Just as Su Yang was about to continue listening, the man under the tree stood up first: "Their scent has faded, they must have moved forward. Let's follow." After saying that, the two continued to walk forward. Su Yang waited for a while, and after seeing that the two had walked a certain distance on the radar, he quietly climbed down from the tree.
"Then I just need to follow these two. Anyway, they're also following the person in front. These two are probably here to try and seize someone else's opportunity." With that thought, Su Yang quickly caught up with the Yuwen siblings.
They traveled for quite some time, stopping and starting along the way, indicating that the Blood Squad was also in a stop-and-go state. "It's highly likely that a battle has broken out, and it was probably started by these two. Those two bastards are really awful." Su Yang was somewhat angry, which was why he didn't like dealing with people.
Su Yang followed along until the dense forest ahead began to thin out, indicating they were about to leave the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts. The Yuwen siblings maintained their distance and continued to follow. From behind, Su Yang could vaguely see the condition of the Blood Squad in a more open area. One guard was limping, and the others' steps were also somewhat heavy. It seemed that the battle in the valley had worsened their condition.
By this time, it was completely dark. All three groups had arrived at the foot of Wan'an Peak. The Blood Squad stopped first and lit a fire. The healer was treating the injured guards, while the other four took turns on guard duty. The Yuwen siblings also stopped, but instead of lighting a fire, they climbed a tree. Seeing this, Su Yang retreated a distance and found a secluded spot to sit and rest. Night gradually fell.
At night, Su Yang was sleeping when he was suddenly awakened by a tremor. He quickly looked around and saw flames shooting into the sky in the distance, accompanied by roars. "Looks like another ferocious beast attack." Su Yang sighed and observed carefully for a while. Soon the fighting subsided, and Su Yang went back to sleep. Throughout the night, this kind of situation continued, with him constantly being awakened and falling asleep again. Su Yang felt like he was about to collapse.
As the night passed and the sky gradually brightened, the weather finally cleared up. The warm sunlight filtered through the branches and into the forest. Su Yang continued to follow the Yuwen siblings, but for a moment he couldn't tell who was the one following them. Passing by the Blood Squad's resting place from the previous night, he saw the remains of ferocious beasts scattered all over the ground, among which was a severed human hand.
"It seems the battle last night was even more brutal; there must be seriously injured members in this group," Su Yang sighed for a moment before continuing forward.
On the way, Su Yang asked, "Die'er, you told me about the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts. Is Wan'an Peak relatively safe?"
"You could say that, but you also couldn't say that."
"What do you mean? A riddle?"
What is a brain teaser?
"Nothing, what do you mean?"
Die'er sighed: "Wan'an Peak, in terms of danger, is actually quite safe. There aren't many ferocious beasts, but to say it's completely safe is absolutely impossible, because this is the territory of S-level ferocious beasts. If an ordinary person encounters one, they will either die or be seriously injured. What's more, that Blood Squad was also given a beast-attracting powder, which makes their chances of encountering S-level ferocious beasts even higher."
"If it's so dangerous, why is it named Wan'an Peak? Who named it?"
"It is said that the first group of adventurers, a Crimson Storm-level team, were killed in action after they explored this place. The second group of Orange Sky-level adventurers who followed them found their remains and chose to retreat. After leaving, they warned adventurers never to come here, saying that if nothing happens here, all will be lost and they can rest in peace. Later, it was named Wan'an Peak."
"..." Su Yang was speechless; he really couldn't understand this naming logic.
At that moment, from the other side of the woods where Su Yang was, a relatively distant place, came an explosion, and flames shot into the sky. "What's going on over there? Are people and ferocious beasts fighting again?" Su Yang asked in surprise.
"That's not necessarily true; it could also be a battle between ferocious beasts," Die'er replied.
“Alright, they’ve moved on again, let’s follow.” With that, Su Yang quickly caught up with the Yuwen siblings.
