Seeing Jiang Xue on the griffin, Søren sighed in his heart again. The gap between the tall, rich, and handsome was really f * cking huge.
The Raging Wave Kingdom also had griffins, but the total number of griffins in the entire Raging Wave Kingdom did not exceed 20.
Therefore, the so-called griffin army was completely symbolic. Their numbers were extremely rare, so who would be willing to let griffins enter the battlefield?
Griffins, on the other hand, were a species of the barbarians, and only the Raging Wave Kingdom shared a border with the barbarians. Therefore, the Raging Wave Kingdom had the largest number of griffins. Even the griffins of the Yan Empire and the Dongli Kingdom were mostly given by the Raging Wave Kingdom.
Just like the pandas given by China, they were priceless and could not be measured by money.
And now, there was a man riding a griffin in and out of the barbarians' territory.
Søren finally understood why Jiang Xue, as a human, could enter the barbarians' territory. This was because griffins were a rare species unique to the Wilderness. Even among the barbarians, only the most important people had the right to ride them.
He flew in the air on a griffin, and the barbarians below thought that a super important person had come. Who would dare to stop him?
Moreover, the barbarians did not have a real griffin army, so they could not stop him even if they wanted to.
Jiang Xue, who was on the griffin's back, saw Søren immediately. In fact, he didn't even need to focus his Spiritual Energy to directly zoom in on something that was thousands of meters away.
In less than a minute, the huge griffin landed on the cliff.
Seeing Jiang Xue up close again, Søren sighed again. This man, who was as beautiful as a devil, was a complete exaggeration of his gender.
Jiang Xue's gaze fell on Søren. "You're out?"
Søren bet ten thousand gold coins that he had already forgotten his name. He did not even listen when Søren said his name.
"Yes." Søren nodded. "Why did you come back?"
Jiang Xue said, "I suddenly remembered that the sword I took from the temple wasn't the Dragon Seal Relic, so I wanted to go back and have a look. Did you enter the temple?"
Søren hesitated for half a second, then nodded and said, "Yes."
"Did you see the Dragon Seal Relic?" Jiang Xue asked.
Søren hesitated for another half a second before saying, "I did."
"You got it too?" Jiang Xue asked.
Søren nodded.
Instantly, Jiang Xue's watery eyes revealed a trace of surprise. She then asked straightforwardly, "Can I have a look?"
Then, he straightforwardly extended his hand.
From his tone, it sounded like he was borrowing a comic book from his deskmate at school.
However, this Dragon Seal Relic was a peerless treasure that only appeared once in a thousand years. For this treasure, some people would even kill thousands of people.
On the other hand, Jiang Xue had killed Søren as easily as crushing an ant, and no one would know about it.
"Master, don't give it to me, please don't give it to me." Eros screamed in her heart.
Søren took out the Dragon Flame and handed it over.
Jiang Xue's eyes lit up. She opened her slender hand and a suction force immediately sucked the Dragon Flame into her hand.
"This, this is indeed the Dragon Seal Relic. It's not a stone tablet or a statue, but the fire crystal of an Ancient Dragon. " Jiang Xue's eyes shone brightly as she played with the Dragon Relic and studied it carefully. She then said, "This should be the relic that has been excavated for thousands of years and is the closest to the Dragon Seal Relic. It will be of great significance to the study of the ancient civilization and the origin of energy. The Dragon Temple will definitely go crazy for it."
Jiang Xue had always looked down on all treasures, including the Golden Dragon Sword and the magical sword in the temple. She would throw them away whenever she wanted.
However, at this moment, she stared at the Dragon Seal Relic with a fiery light in her eyes.
Moreover, this Dragon Seal Relic was far more valuable than Søren had imagined. Not only in terms of energy, but also in terms of historical significance, energy research, and other aspects, it was incomparably valuable.
Jiang Xue then said to herself passionately, "The Blood Shore Maze Town did not disappoint me. The discovery of the Dragon Seal Relic has brought the research of the ancient civilization to a whole new level."
Søren's heart skipped a beat.
Jiang Xue's tone was so passionate, could it be … could it be that he wanted to take it for himself? If he really wanted to, even a thousand Søren would not be able to stop him.
Moreover, he probably would not mind killing Søren.
Søren organized his thoughts and said that he wanted to use the Dragon Seal Relic to save someone. He wanted to move Jiang Xue's heart and stop him from taking the treasure for himself.
However …
Unexpectedly, after playing with it for a few minutes, Jiang Xue handed it back to Søren and said, "I'm done. Thank you for helping me solve a huge mystery."
Then, Søren was completely dumbfounded.
There was … such a person in this world?
Faced with such a treasure, faced with a Dragon Seal Relic that only appeared once in a thousand years, he did not have any greedy thoughts? He really just wanted to borrow it to take a look and then return it immediately.
He did not care about the Dragon Golden Sword from before. However, he had returned the Dragon Seal Relic to Søren without hesitation, even though he was clearly very passionate about it. He did not even have the slightest thought of taking it for himself.
It could be said that if he wanted to take it away, it would be a piece of cake.
Amidst his shock, Søren took the Dragon Seal Relic back.
Jiang Xue said, "Since I've seen the Dragon Seal Relic, I won't enter the Blood Shore Maze Town anymore. Oh yes, by the way, although the drop of golden blood in the Dragon Seal Relic contains unparalleled energy, it is extremely dangerous. Be careful. "
Then, his Griffin flapped its huge wings and soared into the sky, about to fly away.
"Wait …" Søren said.
"What's the matter?" Jiang Xue asked.
Søren said, "I … I can't leave the barbarians' territory. Can you give me a ride back to the human kingdom?"
Jiang Xue looked troubled because he did not like people getting close to him. This Gryphon was his mount, and he didn't want a second person to ride it.
As for Søren showing him the Dragon Seal Relic, it was a favor. However, he had saved Søren twice in the Blood Shore Maze Town, so Søren owed him.
Right now, the only thing that could influence Jiang Xue's will was the human race's principle.
What was the human race's principle? Within the human kingdom, humans could kill each other.
However, once they entered the barbarians' territory, even if they were mortal enemies, they had to work together and help each other.
This was a very noble principle. Most humans would not take it seriously, much less follow it.
However, this principle was extremely binding on Jiang Xue. He had no interest in martial arts, no interest in treasures, no interest in money, and no interest in power.
What he was interested in was the world's history and future, the origin of energy, and the mission of humankind.
Therefore, the human race's principle was an impassable moral barrier to him.
"Alright." Jiang Xue said, "However, I can only send you to the Hundred Thousand Mountains. Once you enter the human territory, I won't send you any further."
"Alright." Søren bowed deeply. "Thank you, Mister Jiang Xue, for your kindness."
Instantly, the Griffin that Jiang Xue was riding let out a cry of grievance, then glared at Søren unhappily.
What kind of person would have what kind of mount. Jiang Xue was proud and noble, and he was definitely a clean freak. His mount, the snow-white griffin, was also proud and mysophobic.
Then, as if being grabbed by a pair of invisible hands, Søren flew onto the Griffin's back.
Then, the Griffin flapped its wings and soared thousands of meters into the air, then flew towards the Hundred Thousand Mountains in the north.
The Griffin was much bigger than Søren had imagined. Søren sat on Jiang Xue's back, at least one foot away from him. He suddenly felt that there was a very mysterious aroma wafting through his nostrils, making him feel relaxed and happy.
Is this aroma coming from Jiang Xue? And his back view is even more alluring than a woman's?
Søren shook his head to get rid of these thoughts, then asked in his mind, "Eros, if I only upgrade one of my martial arts professions this time, what level will my cultivation level be?"
Eros said, "Advanced Warrior Archer! But I feel that a simple Archer is too passive. Spirit Masters are the most powerful, they can kill without leaving a trace, but their ability to protect themselves is too weak. So, I think it's necessary to upgrade all your attributes. "
Soran said, "Then, with my current level of spirit power, if I were to face a master like Tu Lingduo, would I be able to break her spirit defense with a critical hit?"
"Yes, even if she's on full alert." Eros said, "Even if it's very, very short, but in an instant, you can make her break through her defense and lose control of her body!"
Søren was secretly delighted. This Spirit Attack was indeed very powerful.
…
During the flight.
Søren noticed that Jiang Xue was holding an ancient sword in his hand. There was a sculpture of a beauty with pointy ears on the hilt.
"Master, this is the Witch's Sword that Jiang Xue got from the Temple of Light. It belongs to you," Eros suddenly said.
Søren was speechless. This was an ownerless item, so it belonged to whoever got it.
At this moment, Søren once again heard a bewitching call in his mind, "Master, come quickly, bring me to you."
His heart skipped a beat. He instantly felt a very dangerous aura. Back at the Murder Case Maze, he did not feel it because he was far away. Now that he was so close to this mysterious sword, he could clearly feel the dangerous and tempting aura.
He had always known what Eros was thinking. It wanted nothing more than to fall into darkness and become the World Destroying Demon Emperor.
The sculpture of the beauty on the hilt of the sword had pointy ears. It looked mysterious and evil.
Seeing that Søren was looking at his sword, Jiang Xue said, "This is the sword I got from the Temple of Light. It's a little strange and is very effective against evil creatures. Do you want to take a look?"
Then, he handed it to Lin Huang.
"Master, hurry, hurry …" The bewitching voice in Søren's mind became even more seductive.
Søren immediately avoided it and shook his head. "It's okay, Mister Jiang. This sword looks strange. Be careful when you use it."
"It's not just strange, it's evil," Jiang Xue said, "but don't worry, I can control it."
Then, Søren raised the twisted Golden Dragon Sword in his hand and said, "This is your Golden Dragon Sword, right? It's officially returned to its owner."
"I don't want it anymore," Jiang Xue said.
Søren was shocked. "This is the Golden Dragon Sword. Even though it's been contaminated by the Blood Sea, it's still indestructible and even stronger."
Jiang Xue said, "But it's ugly."
Suddenly, all of Soran's words were choked back.
Then, Jiang Xue said, "If you need it, please keep this sword."
…
The Griffin's flying speed was about 500 kilometers per hour. After every hour of flight, it had to stop for a while.
Overlooking the Wilderness World from thousands of meters above the ground, one could see endless mountain ranges and vast plains.
As for the specific tribal buildings, they could no longer see them clearly.
However, one thing was certain. The Wilderness World's population density was no less than that of the human kingdoms, especially the plains, which were densely packed with fortresses.
These plains were all lands that the Raging Wave Kingdom coveted. If they could conquer the plains that Søren saw, the Raging Wave Kingdom's territory could double and become the strongest country in the world.
The world's Five Great Countries had reached a bottleneck. Only the Raging Wave Kingdom had a clear goal for expansion.
Along the way, Søren was like a passenger hitching a ride. He didn't talk to the driver at all and only looked at the Wilderness World in fascination.
After a day and a night, the vast plains came to an end. Below them was an endless mountain range that was getting taller and taller.
Soon, they would leave the Wilderness World and the Hundred Thousand Mountains would be in front of them.
An hour later, the Griffin officially flew over the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
Looking at the mountain range from the sky, it seemed even more dangerous and majestic. Everywhere they looked was covered with white snow.
There was no army in the world that could cross the Hundred Thousand Mountains. The only way to enter the Wilderness Plains from the south was through the Wilderness Canyon that was dozens of miles wide.
Now, Søren could completely feel the urgency of Prince Zhi Li. If they couldn't take down Tianshui City, the Raging Wave Kingdom's strategy of going south would only be a bubble.
The Hundred Thousand Mountains was a natural moat between the human kingdoms and the barbarians.
…
The sky was dark and the moon hung high in the sky. The moon and stars in the sky seemed to be close at hand.
In the quiet night, the Griffin flew over the towering Hundred Thousand Mountains.
After the Hundred Thousand Mountains, it was the territory of the human kingdoms.
Previously, when he followed Meng Tuoluo from the Hundred Thousand Mountains to the Blood Shore Mi City, it took him a few days and nights. From the Blood Shore Mi City, it only took him one day to travel thousands of miles.
"Creak …" The Griffin screeched and landed directly at the foot of the mountain, not more than a foot.
Søren's flight journey had officially ended.
He jumped down from the Griffin and bowed to Jiang Xue again. "Thank you, Your Excellency Jiang Xue."
"Goodbye." Jiang Xue heaved a sigh of relief. After saying goodbye, he couldn't wait to fly the Griffin high up in the sky and flew towards the east. The day and night spent on the back of the Griffin with Søren obviously made him feel uncomfortable.
As the Raging Wave Kingdom was a sovereign country, Jiang Xue couldn't invade the airspace of the Nu Lang Kingdom. Therefore, he had to keep flying east to the East Sea and then return to the Dongli Kingdom.
Søren looked at his disappearing figure and once again felt the huge gap between the levels of this world. From now on, he and Jiang Xue wouldn't have many chances to cross paths.
After the Griffin disappeared into the clouds, Søren ran wildly towards the lake near the Black Blaze Fortress.
He hoped that Xiao Guai was still there and hadn't run away.
"Roar, roar …"
From afar, Søren could hear the roar of the Lion Tiger.
He rushed over to take a look and found that Xiao Guai was playing happily with a group of Blood Cloud Leopards. It was rolling and frolicking in the grass. It was completely carefree. As for fear, there was no sign of it at all.
After Søren appeared, the dozens of Snow Cloud Leopards suddenly arched their waists and growled. They bared their fangs and were ready to attack Søren.
When Xiao Guai saw Søren, it was startled at first. Obviously, it had forgotten about Søren.
Then, it remembered that this was the person it had been waiting for. Thus, it hurriedly rushed over and threw Soran to the ground, rolling on the ground.
"Alright, alright. You've been playing like a madman recently. You've had so much fun that you've forgotten about home." Søren patted its huge head and found that it had gained a lot of weight.
The blind old man had told Søren that he had to control his appetite, otherwise he would keep eating. It seemed that it was true.
Then, he mounted the Lion Tiger and patted its neck. "Alright, it's time to go home. Mistress is getting anxious."
The Lion Tiger Beast looked at its playmates in the grass and let out a reluctant roar. Then, it galloped towards Amano City in the west.
The Blood Cloud Leopards followed closely. They only dispersed after they had traveled for 100 miles.
…
Riding on the Lion Tiger, Søren returned to Amano City in just three days and three nights.
It had been a month since he had left Amano City.
The entire Amano City was in chaos. On the one hand, the prices of daily necessities in the city had skyrocketed. On the other hand, because the trade route had been cut off, countless caravans had hoarded their goods.
The trade route to Loulan of Western Liang had been completely cut off. The prosperity of Amano City had been ruined. In just a month, it had become a chaotic city.
There were people starving every day. There were people fleeing every day. Robberies and killings were everywhere.
Furthermore, in order to kill Yan Nair, the entire army in the city had been sent to the desert. Hence, the security in Amano City had never been so bad.
Currently, the news that was known was that the entire Amano City had sent 40,000 to 50,000 soldiers to the desert to kill Yan Shuang.
Furthermore, there were countless pieces of news every day. No one knew which was true and which was false.
One moment, it was said that Yan Shuang's army had been completely wiped out and captured.
The next moment, it was said that Yan Shuang had committed suicide.
However, there was no real information on where Yan Shuang was or what the casualties were.
Just as Søren was disguising himself and sneaking to Ji Qianqian's side to gather information, a small cavalry suddenly rushed into Amano City.
"Latest battle report, latest battle report. Yan Nair was assassinated, and her fate is unknown. The Silver Wolf Army has retreated to the Yellow Springs Ancient City. Our tens of thousands of troops have already surrounded the Yellow Springs Ancient City. In a few days, we will be able to wipe out the Silver Wolf Army and capture their leader, Yan Shuang. The desert trade route will be reopened. "
The moment this was said, everyone present burst into an uproar.
Had they finally found Yan Shuang? After fighting for a whole month, her Dragon's head and tail were nowhere to be seen. Had they finally found her now?
"Amano City Lord Ji Gang has ordered that from today onwards, any warrior can bring their own weapons and mounts to the Yellow Springs Ancient City to carry out the final extermination of Yan Shuang's rebels. Anyone who participates in the battle to kill Yan Shuang can receive at least two gold coins as a reward! "The officer who passed the order continued to shout loudly and then pasted a huge notice on the city wall.
Instantly, countless wandering warriors present were ready to move. As long as they participated in the battle, they would receive two gold coins.
Hearing this news, Søren was instantly anxious. Yan Nair was actually assassinated? I wonder if his injuries are serious?
Who sent the assassin? That woman, Tu Lingduo?
Obviously, Yan Nair and the Silver Wolf Army were already in danger. Once they were surrounded by tens of thousands of coalition troops, it was only a matter of time before the entire army was destroyed.
Søren immediately rushed out of Amano City, mounted his warhorse, and rushed towards the Yellow Springs Ancient City in the depths of the desert.
"Nair, hold on and wait for me. I'll be there soon!"
