Chapter 876: Honey Trap

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Song Zhong found a small valley to spend the night while Jiang Yi scouted the radius of tens of thousands of miles to see if there were any bandits. Since Song Zhong said there would be astral winds in the night, then no one would dare to fly recklessly during the night—unless they were true experts, meaning that the valley was safe.

The valley was surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the small demonic beasts inside were all killed by Song Zhong and others. He had also set up plenty of tentages, but they were separated into two areas. The guards were all spending the night at the entrance of the valley while Tantai s.h.i.+, the children, and the eight maidservants would be inside—of course with Jiang Yi included.

Five tentages were gathered together, and there was a bonfire in the center. The guards had brought out plenty of roasted meat from outside the valley while the maidservants put out some fine wine and spirit fruits on the table by the side of the bonfire.

Xiao Yu and Xiao Tian were enjoying their roasted meat while Xiao Yu would occasionally look at Jiang Yi and smile. The little boy would sometimes look at Jiang Yi fearfully while the maidservants had their meal beside the tentages. Tantai s.h.i.+ sat silently and was tactful enough as she didn’t dare to speak with Jiang Yi.

After eating some food, Jiang Yi patted on Xiao Yu head before he entered the tentage. He didn’t rest and was extending his divine senses out as he wanted to see what exactly the astral winds were. How dangerous was it?

As night fell, the sky was pitch-black. The two children were carried to sleep by two maidservants, and they soon emitted soft snoring sounds. The valley was in absolute silence while the guards by the valley’s entrance didn’t dare to mingle around as they rotated in their guard s.h.i.+fts.

“Howl, Howl…”

A howling of cool breeze could suddenly be heard in the skies above. However, the wind didn’t give off any sense of danger. When Jiang Yi took a closer look, he was silently feeling strange.

After 15 minutes, he couldn’t find anything peculiar. His brows lifted as he opened his eyes and muttered for a moment before he sat cross-legged again. This time, he had entered the Union of Heaven and Man state.

It was obviously different now!

When in the Union of Heaven and Man state, he would be one with the surrounding heaven and earth. Nothing would be able to hide from his detection, and he could easily sense any unusual things about the cool breeze.

Winds were supposed to be formless, but the wind in the East Imperial Continent had ‘form’. He had noticed thin strands of it in the wind, but it was so feeble and insignificant that even his powerful divine senses couldn’t detect it. The thin strands were distributed unevenly, and there were some parts of the wind that didn’t even have it while some were filled with it.

The spatial zone ten meters above the ground nearly didn’t have such thin strands, but the higher in alt.i.tude, the frequency of the thin strands got higher. When it was over 30 kilometers above the ground, the concentration of the thin strands was shocking. From those thin strands, Jiang Yi could sense the presence of danger.

“This is the astral winds, huh? How strong is the power of the astral winds?”

Jiang Yi opened up his eyes, but he naturally didn’t dare to recklessly fly into the air and test the power. He paused for a moment and continued to examine.

Swish-swis.h.!.+

At this moment, he heard a slight noise; and it was wilderness. He didn’t dare to be careless as he was afraid some demonic beasts might rush up from underground and attack the children. Thus, he immediately extended his divine senses towards the source of the noise.

“Uh…”

His body instantly s.h.i.+vered after he extended out his divine senses. The noise didn’t come from underground, but from within a tentage… it was the sound of water. A woman was using clean water to wash her body, and that woman was Tantai s.h.i.+.

Tantai s.h.i.+ seemingly sensed divine senses extending inside as she threw gourd scoop away and squat down frantically. She used both her hands to cover her voluptuous b.r.e.a.s.t.s and had a look which was a beauty in a panic state, making Jiang Yi involuntarily felt a little pitiful.

“This figure is G.o.dd.a.m.n good. Could this be the special trait of the b.u.t.terfly Lady Race?”

Jiang Yi instantly withdrew his divine senses as that devilish figure was impossible to get rid of from his mind. Tantai s.h.i.+’s waist was too slender, making her curves extremely exaggerated, giving an abnormally huge visual impact. No man would be able to sleep after seeing such a figure, right?

“This isn’t right!”

Jiang Yi suddenly noticed the problem, and his eyes turned cold.

This Tantai s.h.i.+ was obviously doing it intentionally. She clearly knew that Jiang Yi would instinctively release his divine senses when he heard the noise while the guards on the outside would definitely not dare to extend their divine senses inside. Perhaps… Song Zhong had intentionally arranged for Jiang Yi to reside inside the valley and was possibly ordered by Tantai s.h.i.+. Song Zhong might have said that it was safer, but their true intentions were actually for this moment.

“Trying the honey trap?”

Jiang Yi revealed a sneer as his impression towards Tantai s.h.i.+ got worse. Even if she liked to stay clean, there wasn’t a need to shower in the wilderness, right? The tentage didn’t have any restriction or barrier. Wasn’t she afraid of inviting the wolves?

“No… she wanted to invite the wolf…”

Jiang Yi rolled his eyes and didn’t bother about Tantai s.h.i.+ while he expelled the distracting thoughts in his mind and entered the Union of Heaven and Man state again to examine the astral winds.

It was a pity…

After examining for one hour, Jiang Yi ended up empty-handed. Apart from sensing the formless thin strands, he didn’t find out anything else.

He was a little anxious. If he couldn’t have a complete grasp of the might of the astral winds—if he were to flee during the night, he might just die carelessly due to the astral winds. His eyes flickered as he quickly had an idea.

“Song Zhong, go capture a few small beasts and throw them up into the sky. If possible, capture some powerful demonic beasts as well.”

His divine senses locked onto Song Zhong who was at the entrance of the valley while the latter gladly accepted his orders and left a few men to rush out like sharp swords. Jiang Yi had entered the Union of Heaven and Man state while scouting at the side of Song Zhong. He noticed that the thin strands didn’t descend from above the height of 10 meters, and it seemed like traveling on the surface was definitely safe.

Song Zhong carried out the task efficiently and came back in just 15 minutes. He had captured over ten low-tier demonic beasts and one tier-three demonic beast, too.

Jiang Yi transmitted a message. “Throw them up into the sky one by one. Throw as high as possible!”

Song Zhong nodded and grabbed a tiger cat and tossed up into the sky. Jiang Yi had entered the Union of Heaven and Man state and locked onto the situation there. When he examined it, his soul spirit instantly shuddered.

This astral wind was ferocious as expected. When that three-meter large tiger cat was thrown 10 meters into the air, the surrounding winds were immediately affected. Three of the thin strands inside the winds were also affected as it slid across the tiger cat’s body gently. Immediately after… the entire tiger cat was separated into four portions, and it had died even before it could let out any miserable shrieks.

Those four pieces continued to fly higher and had attracted even more astral winds. When the tiger cat’s body was 300 meters in the sky, its severed limbs had completely vanished as the countless astral winds had turned it into blood mist!

“Horrifying!”

Jiang Yi sighed with overwhelmed emotions as he was wondering how these astral winds were formed. Why did it only exist in the East Imperial Continent? What kind of heaven-shaking secrets were hidden in the East Imperial Continent?

Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+

As the demonic beasts were thrown into the sky, there were all turned into blood mist. Even the most powerful tier-three demonic beast could only fly up to 600 meters before its body vanished, turning into a lump of blood that danced in the sky.

“Song Zhong, activate your divine s.h.i.+eld and fly up!”

Jiang Yi had a thought and wanted to test the attack power of the astral winds against a Heaven Monarch.

When Song Zhong heard the orders, his eyes contracted as his legs went soft and knelt down. He then transmitted a message with a terrified voice and said: “My Lord, spare my life, please. My Lord can punish Song Zhong as you wish if I had done anything wrong. If I am to fly up into the sky, my son will not be able to host a funeral for me…”
