Home of the Brave

"Of course." Ji Yao replied on the spot. "Uranus is our prey, we don't want to let the birdmen! Besides..." Ji Yao's gaze swept across Dai Yang's wounds, and said bitterly, "I was hit by someone The reason to get it back?"

"I knew it." Dai Yang gave a wry smile, and reached for the torch. "Change me to the front this time, so you can cover me."

"...You don't want to be a target yourself, do you?" Ji Yao looked at him dissatisfied.

"I'm just working for the beautiful lady." Dai Yang said and walked forward.

"Beautiful lady?" Ji Yao blinked her eyes, her expression seemed surprised. "Yes, even if you say this, we won't be deceived! Really, when did you become so cunning... Huh? Wait, why do you go so fast? Want to leave us alone? Is it in this kind of ghost place?"

Ji Yao hurried to catch up with Dai Yang's footsteps, and the two continued to advance in the cave hand in hand. During the next long journey, he encountered two or three attacks by the fanatic monk, but with the lessons of the previous time, it did not cause much trouble. Only two minor injuries were added to Dai Yang's body, which aroused jealousy. Almost an hour later, a light appeared in front of the cave, obviously the exit was near.

Dai Yang speeded up his pace and walked to Yankou. He looked up at the sky outside the cave. The sky was covered with golden sunrise. It was already after dawn.

"Did you delay it all night..." Dai Yang scratched his head, revealing an expression of distress.

Due to the need to guard against the raids of the fanatic monk, the two spent more time in the underground cave than expected. There is still a short distance from the cave exit to the old nest of the demon Uranus. Dai Yang originally planned to avoid the cannibal crow under the cover of the night before dawn, but this plan was obviously not working at this time.

He stretched out his head and quietly looked at the situation in the valley. I saw a dense swarm of cannibal crows standing on the rock walls on both sides, and as the dawn came, the cannibal crows also woke up from the darkness of the night, combing their feathers with their mouths, as if they were about to set out to hunt. The cold wind that blew all night in the valley and the hungry crows were the most aggressive moment. If the two of them ran out like this, the result would be very miserable.

"Just kill it like this?" Ji Yao enthusiastically suggested.

"Don't be kidding, even if this amount is soft, it won't be clean." Dai Yang shook his head and rejected Ji Yao's proposal.

"Do you have a good way?" Ji Yao gave him a look.

"...Well, it's actually a good idea to wait here until dark."

"No! Uranus will be snatched away!"

"Hey, it's a superior monster anyway, right? Don't say it as if everyone can handle it."

"Anyway, let's not! If you want to spend a day in this place full of bird droppings, you might as well kill us with a knife!"

Ji Yao shook his head violently and refused to accept Dai Yang's opinion. Seeing her reaction, Dai Yang himself hesitated. Although it would be a safer choice to wait until the night to act, but I wasted a day here in vain, and I don't know what those mad faith monks would do in it. If you want to prevent the Karan people from coming in chaos, I am afraid that only now, Dai Yang thinks about it this way to make a decision.

"No way, we split up." Dai Yang suggested to Ji Yao. "I'll go out and try to attract the attention of the cannibals, so you take the opportunity to sneak inside and see what those guys are doing."

"Are you going to do it again?" Ji Yao frowned. "If you want to be a bait, we are much more attractive than you."

"...This is not the time to make a joke, right?"

Dai Yang smiled bitterly, trying to poke his head out of the cave entrance, and suddenly heard a stern cry from the sky in the distance, and the whole valley boiled in an instant. He drew back in shock, only to see those piranhas that had been immersed in their feathers, flapping their wings and flying into the sky as if they had received a signal. The flapping sound of the cannibal's wings and the croaking croak mixed into a harsh noise, echoing in the valley, and the two hiding in the cave couldn't help but plug their ears.

After a while, the voice outside the cave calmed down, and Dai Yang looked at it again, and saw no trace of the cannibal crow on the mountain wall, only the black and crushed crow flew towards the outside of the valley.

"What happened?" Ji Yao also poked her head out and asked curiously.

"I don't know, is it impossible to find food?" Dai Yang craned his neck to look, but his sight was blocked by the high rock wall.

"Well, leave it alone, now is a good opportunity, take this opportunity to sneak in!" Ji Yao suggested.

"...Also." Dai Yang made up his mind. "Go and see what the **** those guys are up to."

※※※

While the cannibal crows were leaving, Dai Yang and Ji Yao sneaked into the depths of the Crow King Valley. Deep in the Valley of the Raven King is the home of the demon Uranus. Although Dai Yang has learned a lot about the ecology of the demon so far, when he saw a huge stone tower in the depths of the Valley of the Raven King, he couldn't help being stunned on the spot.

The stone tower stands among the surrounding steep rock walls. The bottom has a vast area of ​​two football fields, and the top is even higher than the valley. Dai Yang stood at the bottom of the tower and looked up at the top of the tower. The majestic aura made people feel like the mountain was overwhelming. Looking back again, I saw that the exterior of the stone tower was engraved with ancient sculptural characters. Although it had been weathered a lot, it did not look like a masterpiece of a demon, but more similar to a totem of a Titan.

"Hmm, this is the old lair of Uranus..." Ji Yao gave a failed evaluation to the stone tower in front of him. "It looks so silly."

"Uranus should live on the top floor, right?" Dai Yang looked at the magnificent stone tower in front of him, and confirmed to Ji Yao.

"Idiots like high places." Ji Yao shrugged and couldn't help frowning at the stone tower. "From this point of view, the lower floors should be the nests of monsters. If you have to climb all the way up from the inside, it will take at least half a day to reach the top of the tower. If you encounter a fanatic monk again, you don't know how much work it will take. ...Tsk, it's really troublesome!"

"If you walk inside, I'm afraid you won't be able to get there before sunset..." Dai Yang assessed the difficulty of breaking through the tower, and then decided to think backwards. "Let's go outside!"

"Go outside?" Ji Yao blinked, looked at the stone tower's unsettled outer wall, and couldn't help but question: "How do you go?"

"My father often teaches me that the roads are all walked out." Dai Yang shrugged his shoulders, walked over, and stretched out his hand to press on the stone tower wall. "Although there is a danger of incurring tribulations if you use your head too much, but at this level, God should be able to open one's eyes and close one's eyes, right?"

"What are you talking about? Why are we listening... Huh? Huh?"

Ji Yao said that her eyes widened suddenly, and the outer wall of the stone tower had a wonderful change in front of her eyes. I saw that with Dai Yang's movements, rock pillars about half a meter long came out from the outer wall of the stone tower, and every two rock pillars were separated by a distance of about one meter, and no stone pillars formed a circle around the outer wall of the stone tower. Spiral stairs. It is undoubtedly the pathway created by the black-haired youth.

"This is... the one you used last time?" Ming Ye remembered the scene when she fought against Dai Yang in the Redstone Ghost Nest.

"The Haoyuan Boxing of Wuxiang Shenyan, this is considered a primary application." Dai Yang shrugged his shoulders to explain, and jumped up the steps first.

"Hey, wait for us." Ji Yao hurriedly followed the man, as if unwillingly questioned. "But in this way...you are too cunning! The so-called maze, from the front should be the kingly way!"

"Well, are you more willing to challenge the smelly monster lair? Besides, this trick can only be used now." Dai Yang said this, looking at the sky in the distance without worry. "We had better climb to the top of the tower before the ogre came back, otherwise we would really have to roll in the monster pile."

"Of course I know." Ji Yao replied, and jumped to the next step first. "Quickly follow up, we are in charge of the cover, you will concentrate on making the road."

"Yes, please follow the instructions..."

Dai Yang smiled bitterly and followed the Ji Yao, and the two used the steps as a step to climb up the periphery of the stone tower. Each step is separated by one meter horizontally and half a meter vertically. Although it is a very difficult step distance for ordinary people, it is nothing at all in front of the body strengthened with monster energy. The unique path not only allows them to avoid the monsters in the tower, but also avoids the delay in finding the road. The two of them turned around the stone tower two times, and they reached the position almost in the middle of the tower.

"It's amazing, it's the first time we walked the maze like this! It turns out that the silly goose has some resuscitation?" Even Ji Yao couldn't help but praise.

"...Thank you for your compliment." Dai Yang casually responded to Ji Yao, but looked worriedly at the distant sky.

At this time they have risen to a fairly high position, and looking out from here, you can see the crowd of cannibal crows tumbling in the sky in the distance. The piranha seemed to be attacking something, but the distance was too far to be true. As the battle became fierce, crowds of ravens constantly flew out from all over the valley, and it seemed that the entire raven king valley was alarmed. One of the cannibal crows accidentally noticed the silhouette of the person on the side of the stone tower and croaked, and a group of crows rushed towards this side in a moment.

"No! Go up!"

Seeing the crowd of cannibal crows rushing towards this side, Dai Yang suddenly speeded up his path-making movements. The two rushed all the way along the steps, and finally jumped into a room near the top of the tower before the cannibal rushed. The cannibal crows that were not close enough hit the stone wall one after another, knocking the stone tower out of no small corners. When the tragic man-eating crow dragged its broken wings and fell down, Dai Yang and the two had flashed into the room inside the stone tower.

"Huh, there is no danger at all..." Dai Yang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and it was an unimaginable result that he was besieged by a man-eating crow in the midair without a spot. Now he has always avoided the worst situation. "There are still one or two floors from the top of the tower. It's okay to just walk up like this." He looked at the ceiling above his head, but he could not hear the demon complaining of dissatisfaction behind him.

"It's okay to go on like that, our'Hong Ji' hasn't had time to break the fast yet!"

"Huh? You...Did you take out that kind of thing?" Dai Yang turned his head and looked at the dark red demon knife in Ji Yao's hand. He was speechless for a while.

"Isn't it? All here are monsters, so don't worry about accidentally hurting them." Ji Yao advocated so, and the monster sword emitted a strange demon light as if it echoed her remarks.

"Well, that's right..." Dai Yang scratched his head, thinking about the possibility of encountering the demon Uranus at any time, and he was relieved.

"Whether it is a monster or a fanatic monk, the next thing is our prey." Ji Yao stretched out his hand and stroked Hong Ji's blade, revealing a coquettish smile.

"You, don't fight with us."
