Free Web NovelChapter 1805: Chapter 1805: I Really Am Foolish
South Pass of First Line Pass.
Li Feng led his trusted aides, numbering in the hundreds, through the pass. Sikong Yu followed along, while on the Gate Wall of the First Line Pass, Ouyang Qiuhai watched Li Feng’s group leave, and couldn’t help but turn his head to look at his father, Ouyang Tianshu.
"Father, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Do you really have the heart to let your daughter miss out?"
Ouyang Qiuhai blinked her large eyes pitifully, trying to sway her father.
Ouyang Tianshu turned to glance at his daughter: "Hmm, whether there’s an opportunity or not, I don’t know. But this journey south will definitely be fraught with danger and carelessness will lead to death and demise."
"That’s the Wilderness, and if a crisis arises, calling out won’t help; don’t expect anyone to clean up your mess."
Ouyang Tianshu felt powerless; his daughter’s personality was ultimately inherited from him.
Ouyang Qiuhai pouted and said, "Since it’s so dangerous, why didn’t Father persuade Rain sister and still let her follow Li Feng out of the pass?"
Ouyang Tianshu glared at Ouyang Qiuhai: "She’s the daughter of the Sikong family; I naturally can’t interfere. But you are my daughter, and you simply cannot go. You should stay put here in the pass. In a few days, when I return to Ancestor Dragon City, you will go back with me."
"Fine, I won’t go. Why do you need to be so stern?"
Ouyang Qiuhai shrank her neck slightly but slyly glanced at Li Feng and the group as they gradually disappeared into the distance.
After exiting the pass, Sikong Yu went straight to Li Feng.
"Li Feng."
Ran Yue, standing nearby, looked at Sikong Yu, with a hint of hostility between her brows. Sikong Yu glanced at Ran Yue, then focused her gaze on Li Feng.
"What’s up?"
Li Feng turned to look at Sikong Yu, who took a deep breath before addressing Li Feng: "After heading south from First Line Pass, we’ll be in the vast Wilderness. Even Ancestor Dragon City has no influence here. In the Wilderness, fierce beasts are everywhere, and there are even Overlord-like beings. Do you have a plan?"
Sikong Yu inquired.
Li Feng looked at Sikong Yu and said, "No plan. This is my first time here in the Southern region. As for what you mentioned, I’m mentally prepared; when the time comes, we’ll tackle challenges as they arise."
Li Feng wasn’t just brushing off Sikong Yu; he genuinely didn’t know. The last time he traveled from Dragon Forest to Ancestor Dragon City, it was thrilling every step of the way. But luckily, with Zi Yan as the guide, they survived the dangers.
This time, heading south with his strength, as long as he didn’t deliberately provoke those Overlord Beasts, he seemed capable of handling any situation.
Hearing Li Feng’s response, Sikong Yu covered her head, knowing it would be like this, taking a deep breath before looking at Li Feng: "If it weren’t for the Martial Strategy Hall not making mistakes, I’d truly wonder how you’ve survived until now." ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
"This vast Wilderness might be something you can traverse with your strength, but the Vermilion Bird Land’s Molten Lava Cave is a notorious forbidden area, no less dangerous than the fierce grounds of the Ten Great Demon Ancestors."
"Just because you have a Vermilion Bird guide, don’t assume the journey will be smooth without troubles. To meet the Vermilion Bird, you may not need to pass five checkpoints and defeat six generals, but it’s close enough. If the Vermilion Bird Holy Beast were so easy to meet, the Sikong family wouldn’t lose so many elites every year."
Li Feng looked at Sikong Yu: "So?"
"I’m just a fool." Sikong Yu suddenly blurted out, seemingly out of nowhere. Right, she was just foolish; perhaps it started when she fell into this jerk’s trap at Nine Layers Mountain.
The opponent left Nine Layers Mountain quietly but let Zhang Qiang leave clues, revealing to Zhang Qiang that he was seeking the Vermilion Bird. How could she miss it, especially since the Sikong family saw the Vermilion Bird Bloodline as crucial?
So once she knew, she’d definitely come, even actively seeking out the opponent, begging to be taken along to find the Vermilion Bird.
Since they were traveling together, wouldn’t the intelligence and maps that the Sikong family accumulated over the years be shared?
Could they be hidden?
Clearly not. If hidden, these people might die, but if the Vermilion Bird wasn’t found, it would be a futile trip. So to find the Vermilion Bird, she’d definitely have to share them.
To think yesterday she threatened Li Feng, claiming she was the Flag Master of the White Tiger Camp, yet Li Feng had completely outmaneuvered her.
Li Feng looked at the suddenly self-deprecating Sikong Yu and gave a light laugh: "At least not entirely foolish." freewebnovel.cσ๓
"You...!"
Sikong Yu raised her head and glared fiercely at Li Feng.
"This is a win-win, isn’t it? Besides, you have reasons that force you to come, which is why you fell into the trap. If it were irrelevant, you would have figured this out long ago."
Sikong Yu snorted softly.
"If you want the Sikong family’s intelligence, then ask me."
Li Feng looked at the stubborn Sikong Yu and smiled slightly: "It’s okay if you don’t share. I could just stumble into damage and die in this Wilderness. Anyway, my life is cheap and not worth sparing."
Sikong Yu, seeing Li Feng’s indifferent attitude, gritted her teeth and clenched her fists tightly.
She really wanted to beat him to death.
"You win."
Sikong Yu glared at Li Feng angrily and then took out a map from her chest: "This is the route map heading south. The Sikong family updates it every two or three years. Although it can’t completely eliminate the threats along the route, it can avoid nine out of ten dangers."
Li Feng took the map Sikong Yu handed to him. With just one look, Li Feng knew he’d benefited here, his move proving exceptionally effective.
The Sikong family was indeed worthy of being the Vermilion Bird family; this route heading south was comparable to a modern travel map, incredibly detailed.
Compared to this map, the one in Zi Yan and Ran Yue’s hands seemed like it was prepared by kindergarteners.
This map not only marked potential encounters with Overlord Beasts, dangerous forbidden areas, and beast packs along the route, but crucially, it even marked temporary camps.
It’s undeniably a mature route heading south, as long as one doesn’t deliberately seek trouble. Transversing the Southern Wilderness would likely incur minimal losses.
"Truly worthy of the Vermilion Bird family, the map is exceptionally well done."
Li Feng finished speaking and directly tucked it into his chest to keep.
Sikong Yu watched Li Feng’s offhand action and said, "I just showed it to you, not gave it to you. Give it back."
"I’ll return it when we get back to Ancestor Dragon City. Otherwise, borrowing it back and forth is too troublesome."
"Shameless."
Sikong Yu ground her teeth angrily.
Li Feng then asked: "So, still thinking of marrying me as my Lady?"
"Pssh, who would marry you? If anything, you’d be entering into the Sikong family." Sikong Yu glared back at Li Feng.
Li Feng smiled and didn’t respond, turning to look behind him: "Prepare to hit the road; we need to reach the next resting spot before dark."
The group, numbering hundreds, traveled forward, seemingly just a pin dropped in the ocean compared to the vast Wilderness. But to Ye Yu, lurking outside the First Line Pass, they were an unmistakable target.
"Didn’t expect to catch a big fish this time."
