Chapter 801: The Monster Hunt
Chapter 801: The Monster Hunt
Lindsey: "Arona, since you believe in the Righteous One, even with limited information, you should know some of the stories and legends related to them, right?"
Arona: "What do you want to ask?"
Lindsey: "Is there any record in history about our hunt for the Feathered Serpent?"
Arona: "Yes, although it's just a brief mention in legends, the 'First King's Sharpened Blade' does indeed record the heroic deeds of slaying the great serpent, demons, and evil creatures."
Lindsey: "With an opportunity like this, don't you plan to join in?"
Arona: "That's right, I plan to stay here. Once you high-ranked Awakened ones leave, this village will lack the protection of powerful individuals. My techniques, though not the strongest, can still play a role."
Lindsey: "You're quite considerate in that regard."
Arona: "This is where my faith began. No matter what, I will protect it."
At the end of the banquet, the plan to subjugate the Feathered Serpent was gradually taking shape.
Unbeknownst to others, Lindsey and Arona were having a conversation in the friendship channel.
Lindsey was certain that after this time anomaly ended, he, Arona, and perhaps others involved in this spacetime fluctuation would return to their rightful eras.
For a believer, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
But Arona remained steadfast in her stance.
The blind girl held firm to her words, treating this temptation as a test of her faith and maintaining a consistent attitude.
Lindsey turned to look beside him.
The team assembled to defeat the Feathered Serpent, a guaranteed victory, had just been finalized.
After confirming everyone's intentions, Lindsey spoke up, "Let's get ready and set off immediately."
"That Feathered Serpent is resting in the valley. The longer we delay, the more it will recover. It's definitely best to leave as soon as possible."
Hearing Lindsey's words, Nolan stood up, demonstrating his stance with his actions.
Ben gave a few instructions to his men in the village and followed the two, sheathing his longsword.
These two, along with Lindsey, formed the core of the Feathered Serpent subjugation team. Behind them, four Awakened individuals from Beyond the World joined, whispering among themselves.
"We must participate in this."
"The plan to win over Ben was set by Lord Philong, and we can't miss any opportunity."
"The Sons of Justice have always been united. In nearly a thousand years, this is a rare chance to acquire their techniques."
"But what about this newcomer? We don't know anything about Lindsey. His relationship with Ranger Nolan runs deep, and he might be a variable."
"Word from the Wizard is that the Seven Stars are also sending people to this world, and they seem to be preparing to subjugate Ben?"
"My technique tells me that Lindsey is extraordinary. He must be hiding a great secret, and it won't be wrong to befriend him."
"..."
These were supposed to be whispers, unheard by anyone except the four from Beyond the World.
Just then, Lin Sai equipped the Freedom Seal, and with the help of Atmospheric Perception, even though they spoke softly, the gentle breeze carried their conversation to his ears.
"..."
Lin Sai raised an eyebrow and opened the map, leading the way.
The group left the village in Law Capital and as they stepped onto the first path of the mountain range before them, Lin Sai turned to his companions and cautioned, "This Feathered Serpent can fly and at an incredible speed.
"Unless we can guarantee a direct attack on this guy, we should keep a low profile in the early stages and avoid alerting it unnecessarily."
Four Awakened individuals from Beyond the World.
Besides the Messenger named Winterbird, there was also an older man named Taofeng, who was also a Seventh Stage practitioner.
As the de facto leader of the Beyond the World team, Taofeng smiled at Lindsey.
"Mr. Lindsey, rest assured."
"According to you, this is just a Seventh Stage Beast. With our strength, even if something unexpected happens, it won't be able to escape."
Lindsey neither agreed nor disagreed with Taofeng's statement.
From a strength perspective, this team assembled to subdue the Feathered Serpent was undoubtedly overwhelming.
However, their enemy was also a Malevolent Deity.
Furthermore, Lindsey's experience in the Dust Path World made him cautious.
Except for their collaboration with the Deviator.
Why did Clearsky casually seal the Feathered Serpent instead of killing it back then?
"This caution might be a bit excessive."
"But when dealing with a powerful enemy, being extra careful is never a mistake."
"..."
The team tasked with subduing the Feathered Serpent steadily advanced through the mountain range.
Lindsey's suggestion was respected, and they deliberately suppressed their Essence Aura to prevent others from sensing their arrival.
Meanwhile, deep within the mountains, the Feathered Serpent, which was resting at the bottom of the valley, remained unaware of the impending danger.
"Hiss—"
"Damn thing..."
The Feathered Serpent's enormous serpentine eyes opened, and a low growl filled with vengeful flames emerged from its mouth:
"What the hell is this thing that can suppress my divinity so effectively?"
"Incredible."
Lindsey's Mythic Arrow was still embedded in the Serpent's mythical concept.
A day ago, the wounds Nolan had inflicted on the Feathered Serpent were slowly healing due to the powerful physique of a Seventh Stage Beast, and the chaotic rule power was being forcibly suppressed by the Serpent.
The powerful and complex force made the Serpent's condition exceed Nolan's expectations.
However, the injuries inflicted by Lindsey alone were still tormenting this Malevolent Deity severely.
The fact was that before killing an enemy, the Mythic Arrow itself merged with the target's mythical legend.
At least, with the Seventh Stage Deity power of the Feathered Serpent.
Currently, it was impossible to extract or separate the Mythic Arrow from its own concept.
"Roar—"
At that moment, a surge of vitality erupted from within the Feathered Serpent's body.
Its massive body tensed, then coiled into a spiral shape, and with a deep, angry roar, it bellowed at its own body:
"Damn thing, get out here!"
"According to our contract, I have fulfilled all the help I promised you. It's time for you to come out and help me get rid of that little thief who released me from the seal!"
"..."
The air at the bottom of the valley became stagnant.
After a few more seconds, a deep voice resonated within the Feathered Serpent:
"Hehe."
"When you ran away before, if he hadn't spoken up, you might have taken another few hundred years to figure out who your true enemy was, right?"
The Feathered Serpent snorted coldly:
"We're not talking about that now!"
The voice within its body replied:
"Don't worry, I'll honor our contract."
"Since we've rarely come to this era, it would be a waste of this precious opportunity not to send a little gift to the City of Law before it's established."
