The Last Primal

796 Chapter 796

"[Reptilian] Rubbish!" "[Reptilian] Trash!" "[Reptilian] Weaklings!"

"[Reptilian] How can a small valley stop the great ambitions of the Crystal Palace!"

Many Crystal Palace disciples shouted.

Smirking coldly, the Dark Lord waved his hand and declared.

"[Reptilian] Follow me into the valley!"

Before his sentence was completed, Dark Lord Yang Zahn took the first step and led the Malefic Demons Clan group forward and disappeared into the fog.

There's naturally no way Crystal Palace would want to fall behind as Pei Syriac ordered. "[Reptilian]  Everyone! Onwards, into the valley!"

The actions of the two sects affected all the factions that were hesitating outside the valley. Various sects took action at the same time and gushed inside.

…

Greed often causes one to lose their rationality. At that moment, all the disciples and the other Martial Artists rushing into the valley were fervent with burning gazes.

The only thing left in their eyes were the treasures of Ancient Burial Grounds. They had instinctively forgotten about the latent dangers in the valley!

None of them wanted to be left behind.

Only one group remained. Only the Azure Myst Sect did not make a move still.

Standing at the front, Tai Liu frowned with a hesitant expression. Her decision affected the lives of more than a hundred disciples behind her. She could not be as reckless and careless as all the others.

Night will descend entirely in less than 2 hours. At that time, under the foggy night, each of them would experience weakened senses. However, the ancient lifeforms, remnant beasts and ferocious wild beasts wouldn't be affected much by the environment!

"[Reptilian] Young Master, let's hurry and enter the valley! Stop hesitating!"

"[Reptilian] If they find the Ancient Burial Ground ruins first, the treasures are going to be wiped clean! By then, we'll have to return empty-handed!"

"[Reptilian] That's right! Crystal Palace and Malefic Demons Clan have already entered! All of us cultivators add up to thousands in total, do you think that we'll lose to the animals?"

When he heard that, Aiden scoffed internally and shook his head. Even if they had hundreds of thousands of warriors of the same strength, they wouldn't be able to compete against the endless number of demon beasts that lived and reproduced here for more than a century, let alone this small army of them.

Be it in terms of timing or environment, they had no advantage whatsoever.

After a moment, Tai Liu finally relented against the chatter of the restless disciples behind her. With exasperation in her heart, she waved her hand.

"[Reptilian] Let's go! Into the valley!"

With that, the Azure Myst Sect too entered the valley, albeit as the last to do so.

Only thing that Aiden found strange was that from beginning to end, he had not seen a trace of the High Priest nor any force coming from the Church at all. This was not logical… how would they enter then? Would they willingly let go of the ruins they have used as one of the basis of their faith?

No. That would be impossible.

However, in that case, how did they plan to get there? What are they planning?

Aiden suddenly had a bad feeling about everything… The High Priest as well as the surviving Ancient One, would be far more craftier than this… Something was not right.

Still, he could do nothing but follow the prepared route for the time being and just be on guard all the time.

However, just to be safe, before he ventured into the fog and demonic beasts infested valley, ha sent out a short message to Vyndridolth who was purposefully left behind to care for and guard little Tolliah back at the now-empty Azure Myst Sect's local headquarters.

With that, he too looked forward and followed after the group ready to face the dangers.

According to the original plan, the small army of Azure Myst Sect disciples were supposed to form a cone-shaped formation. Those with the weakest combat strength like those that main focus was not battle and some other Elixir Refinement Masters would be in the middle of the formation. The outer perimeter of the formation would be formed with the Azure Myst Sect's warriors, the battle focused disciples.

The topmost and sharpest end of the cone formation would be formed with none other than Aiden, his four strongest-looking saurian captain, Captain Dragha, as well as Juno Hian himself.

Aiden was in the middle and Dragha and Juno Hian were slightly behind him, supporting from both sides.

The moment they entered the valley, Aiden gradually began to unleash his strength, his attention constantly on his surroundings, ready to strike at any moment.

"[Reptilian] The visibility is so low. I can hardly see!"

"[Reptilian] That's right. I can only see a couple dozen feet or so... at most!"

Many disciples started discussing in hushed whispers after entering.

Captain Dragha was at the peak of the Martial Warrior realm. Gazing around, he nodded.

'Young Master, I can barely see around a hundred or so feet around me. What about you?' He conveyed the message through their shared mental channel.

At the same time, a similar question came from the other side, coming from Juno Hian.

"[Reptlian] Can you two see anything at all? This fog is way too dense! I can barely see around a hundred or so feet around me!" He cursed with frustration.

"[Reptlian] Hmm… Around the same. Roughly." Aiden responded ambiguously. At the same time, he sent another message mentally as well, though containing a much different content.

'This is not a normal fog, but something induced by magical means. Still, I can see for quite a bit, don't worry, just watch for my signals.'

In reality, with Aiden's heightened senses and superior bloodlines he had gathered, his vision was extremely powerful. Even in the fog, he could see things thousands of feet away.

If the fog before him had a very small effect on demonic beasts, it was equivalent to not affecting Aiden at all!

Affected by the tense situation, the group of disciples slowly proceeded forward.

Not long after, the roars of ferocious beasts echoed in the valley, mixed with heartbreaking cries. The sounds were frightening and unsettling.

"[Reptilian] W-w-what was t-that?!"

"[Reptilian] Has someone already encountered a wild beast already?"

"[Reptilian] Probably…"

Some disciples discussed softly among the crowd.

With the obstruction to their vision and the continuous howls of beasts in the valley, everyone's excitement gradually died down and they started feeling restless.

Suddenly, Aiden's voice sounded breaking the silent atmosphere.

"[Reptilian] Everyone get ready! An enormous group of large flying insect-like creatures are coming!"

Everyone was shocked at his exclaim.

The color drained from everyone's faces as the mention of some large insectoid monsters coming their way. From their memories their could only be a couple of potential creatures matching such a description and each one of them were terrifying, frightening monsters of their own!

If they encountered any of them, even escaping with half the crew alive would already be the best case scenario!

However, everyone could not help but feel doubt when they did not see signs of the supposed horde appearing even after a while.

"[Reptilian] What did you say?"

"[Reptilian] Where are the supposed monsters?"

"[Reptilian] Bloody hell! It was just a false alarm!"

"[Reptilian] What's up with this man? You can't joke casually about such things!"

The disciples could not help but grumble.

At the side, Juno Hian crossed his arms and watched the show gloatingly.

Tai Liu frowned slightly on the other hand. She knew that Aiden would not joke around. Especially not with something like this.

However, when she saw that there was still nothing around them after a while, she could not help but head forward and ask hesitantly.

"[Reptilian] Aiden, are there truly beasts coming this way?"

"[Reptilian] Hmm. Of course." Aiden nodded instantly. His gaze fixed before them on the milky white creamy fog wall.

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of wings flapping could be heard clearly!

*Bzzzt!* *Bzzzt!* *Bzzzt!*

Everyone's expressions changed drastically in an instant!

This time round, none of them doubted Aiden's words. However, none of them could understand how he managed to discover the enemy so early. How did he spot them from so far away?

Tai Liu squinted her eyes and her gaze flickered as her thoughts raced. She looked at the approaching enemy, which looked like giant flies, or more like mosquitoes with long, spear-like proboscises at the front of their heads acting as their mouthpiece.

They were called Demonic Flies. They were one of the most common spirit beasts outside the valley. They were around the size of a fist and loved sucking the blood of other living beings, Draconic Skinks included.

Yet, while Demonic Flies were weak, Ancient Demonic Flies were much more terrifying!

Ancient Demonic Flies were lifeforms of the ancient era and were long extinct in the rest of the world. Massive in size, they were larger than even the top three Saurian captains at the front and their wings would buzz loudly when they flapped.
