In this season, it was mostly raining. Mist floated high above the endless mountain range. The fine rain continued to fall. Everywhere was wet and muddy. The water in the river valley was also particularly turbulent. The sound of the surging water could be heard from far away.
The gray sky stretched as far as the eye could see, the gray mountains stretched endlessly, and the curtain of rain was hanging between the sky and the mountains.
White wings suddenly appeared in the cold rain. They beat their wings, maintaining a certain distance from Wan Chuan as they slowly flew toward the west at a steady pace.
The creatures with the white wings were Heavenly Eagles. These creatures were tamed by the military, and were mostly used as mounts. It was difficult for them to participate in battles.
The Heavenly Eagles were one of the few creatures that could be tamed with the Psychic Element. It was the only unique species that humans had discovered during their long history of fighting against demon creatures. They were willing to become humans' subordinates, but they would not fight for them.
The number of Heavenly Eagles gradually increased. They were lined up in neat rows, with the unique murderous aura of a Battlemage!
"Remember, from today onward, you are no longer a soldier. Everything you do has nothing to do with the North China Army," said a man in a handsome military uniform on the back of the Heavenly Eagles.
The man had a mustache. He was holding an old-fashioned smoking pipe in his hand. He would take a puff of the pipe every time he spoke, as if he was gasping for air.
It was rare to see someone smoking a pipe in this era, but Lu Nian had already developed the habit of smoking. The huge wound on his back that was torn open by a Commander-level Dark Creature would always feel a dull pain. He had consulted many skilled Healers, but none of them were able to help him. Only this special kind of tobacco was able to numb his nerves a little …
"Commander Lu, we are three hundred kilometers away from Jinlin City. There are a bunch of Blood-Diamond Condors around the city. Should we go straight to them?" The advisor was a female Battlemage. Her eyebrows were almost connected into a straight line. She was not very attractive.
"That won't be necessary, we'll just walk when we reach their territory," said Lu Nian.
"Got it!"
"We must succeed in this mission!"
"Affirmative!"
…
…
To the south of the Imperial College, in a unique bamboo pavilion, Dean Song He, who was fond of chrysanthemums and camellias, was sitting on a futon like an old Japanese man. He was enjoying the fragrance of the teapot.
"Bang!"
The door was suddenly pushed open. The bamboo door shook violently, as if it was going to break at any moment.
"Who is it? How rude!" Dean Song He frowned.
"It's me, old man."
"Zhan Kong?" Dean Song He glanced at the man in front of him, who no longer looked as young as he used to be.
Song He glanced at Zhan Kong and noticed five eye-catching scars on his neck and chest. The scars were only the tip of the iceberg, and he had no idea how far the scars extended.
"You would have died if the wound was an inch higher on your neck," Dean Song He said to Zhan Kong with a pained look.
"It's fine as long as I'm not dead. It's just that these scars have ruined my perfect figure." Zhan Kong pretended to smile casually.
"It's the Darkwing Wolf, isn't it? The claws of these creatures are extremely sharp, and they have the Corrosive Blood effect. It'll take a long time for your scar to heal," Dean Song He said.
"I, Zhan Kong, will kill that Darkwing Wolf with my own hands … I'm here to talk to you about something else," Zhan Kong said sternly.
"What is it? Is the Southern Army interested in that kid with Double Innate Elements too?" Dean Song He asked with a smile.
"Interested in what? He's my sworn brother. I was the one who took care of him back in Bo City. I'm worried about something when he showed off his Double Innate Elements … "Zhan Kong said.
"Don't worry, Old Xiao and Qiu Yuhua are against it. Lu Nian has already paid us a visit," Dean Song He said.
"That's why I'm here. I received a message from an old friend in the Northern Army a few days ago. Lu Nian's men were suddenly fired from the army. Lu Nian seems like he's going to resign, too," Zhan Kong said.
"Commander Lu's behavior is indeed strange. Perhaps he's looking for another path since he can't advance further in the army," Dean Song He said.
"Say, have you gone senile? Lu Nian's behavior means he's going to do something crazy without caring about anyone's orders!" Zhan Kong said.
Dean Song He was startled. He suddenly recalled something after collecting his thoughts.
"That's not possible, right?" Dean Song He said.
"What do you mean it's not possible? Hurry up and tell me where the kid went," Zhan Kong said.
"He's with the training team," Dean Song He said.
"Does Lu Nian know?"
"He does," Dean Song He said.
"…" Zhan Kong was left speechless. He blurted out, "Are you out of your mind? The people under Lu Nian are a bunch of maniacs who would do anything to achieve their goals. Why didn't you consider that Lu Nian might go all out? Many of Lu Nian's men have resigned from the army. Even if they had committed a serious crime, they wouldn't want to implicate the Black Tortoise Army!"
"Who would have thought that they would be so crazy? We shouldn't waste any more time. Let's head to Jinlin City at once. We can't let him do anything crazy," Dean Song He said.
"You should stop wasting your time. I'll go there myself," Zhan Kong said.
"Yao Nan, the Hunter in charge of the incident, is in the capital. I'll ask him to go with you. He has Wing Magic Equipment, so he can move quickly," Dean Song He said.
"Alright!"

Inside Jinlin City, among the densely packed Boston Ivy, Mofan was sitting on a pillar in a black shirt. He was enjoying the battle between the Swift Star Wolf and a Three-eyed Magic Wolf while munching on some delicious jerky.
It was rare to stumble into a familiar species in the city, and it just so happened that the species was able to sense the sound waves emitted by the detection devices.
The Three-eyed Magic Wolf was enormous. Half of its head could even reach the roofs of some of the old streets. Mofan clearly remembered stumbling into a huge demon wolf like this when he was exploring a small district with his classmates. He did not even dare to breathe heavily back then. He could only hope that the creature did not notice him. He had engraved the feeling of being weak and petty in his heart.
Now, his mentality was completely different when he encountered a Three-eyed Magic Wolf. Mofan did not even bother to attack it. He simply let the Swift Star Wolf handle it.
Both were wolves, yet the Swift Star Wolf did not treat the Three-eyed Magic Wolf seriously. It simply tore at the creature, teaching it how to behave like a wolf!
Looking at the enormous figure covered in wounds, Mo Fan could not help but grin.
