Chapter 511 - 332: The Furious Region that Blocks All Directions (4K)
The area surrounding Wolf Head Mountain was anything but peaceful, with monster howls and the occasional roars of cannon fire audible from afar.
Elves and giants made their way up the uneven and bloodstained dirt road, winding upwards.
Atop the mountain, the black castle walls stood imposingly, with each watchtower, arrow tower, and sentry post rising solidly.
From time to time, arrows that looked like shooting stars would shoot out from the battlements, whistling into the azure sky and vanishing from sight.
This seemed hardly remarkable.
But when they focused their attention and gazed at the openings in the towers, trying to catch the moment the light arrows shot out, they suddenly felt a chill surge from the soles of their feet to the crown of their heads.
Their hairs stood on end.
Even though the arrows were dozens to hundreds of meters away and not aimed in their direction, they still had the illusion that the arrows could turn a corner and punch a hole through them at any moment.
Was this reasonable?
The giants scratched their heads; unable to understand, they simply stopped thinking about it and silently marveled at the strength that Tianyuan Territory, true to its reputation, possessed.
The elves couldn't help but ponder over it.
Elves, by nature, excel at archery. Among the professions they could awaken to, archery was mainstream.
From the lower-tier 'Wood Elf Archer (Common Three Stars)' to the high-order troops 'Moon Elf Ranger,' and then to the epic beings 'God Moon Elf,' their archery skills were exquisite and peerless within their class.
Elves took pride in their archery and gardening.
Among those present from the Natural Garden Delegation, half were skilled archers, including the superior scout Taeli. She excelled at reconnaissance with owls, sharing vision, and could take out enemies from two or three kilometers away with a single arrow, leaving them dead without even understanding what happened.
Taeli's scouting owl was still soaring outside Wolf Head Mountain.
The sharp-eyed eagle spotted the sharp arrow.
The sharp arrow turned a corner in front of a distant rock and pierced through the skull of a Wisdom Monster hiding behind cover, killing it instantly.
And the distance was...
4900 meters!
Holy smokes!
If she were on the tower, could she accurately hit and kill a sneaky Wisdom Monster hiding behind rocks?
Taeli imagined it.
Taeli broke out in a sweat.
Her actual strength... might be slightly superior to that of the Arrow of Polar Star on the tower. But after all, the Arrow of Polar Star was an Epic Life with a bit of a cheat on extreme shooting range, so that made sense, didn't it?
Taeli and the other elves naturally were unaware that the Arrow of Polar Star, a name of great renown and not much inferior to the God Moon Elf, was present on the tower. They only saw towers capable of firing such arrows, not just one.
They were even more sweat-soaked!
...
Wolf Head Mountain's meeting venue had already been arranged, and there were even seats tailored to the size of the giants.
Made from Black Ironstone.
Hard and of extremely good quality.
And it shouted one word: 'lavish.'
Lord Shepherd, after all, was from a wealthy family with plenty of mines, not short of money. Besides, if they needed materials in the future, they could simply melt down these ironstone chairs, with virtually no loss to middlemen.
Being legendary visitors, Lord Shepherd personally met with the two this time.
General Duo Lai was seated beside him, in the next seat, with a stern face, eyes fixed straight ahead, his expression serious and solemn. His Ever-changing Badge was transforming into the style of a robe, with streams of colorful lights flowing on it, setting him apart as more extraordinary.
'Is this the big shot who fought against several Werewolf Legends on his own?'
'Holy smokes, I didn't expect to really meet this great legend who set a miraculous record!'
'To be honest, why does this legend look a bit young? If he hadn't been introduced just now, I could never have imagined that this is the great legend. I thought the one who would defeat Fang of the Jackal Wolf would be a mighty figure with bulging muscles, arms strong enough for horses to run on, with at least eight arms!'
'You just don't get it. This legend might not look strong, but that only means we are too low-level to see the real deal and the fact that this big shot has reached the pinnacle in controlling his aura and Divine Rhyme, which all the more reflects his immense power.'
The surrounding elves and giants looked towards Duo Lai with awe and admiration, only daring to glance from a distance, not worthy of direct gaze. After all, without being of Legendary status, one was not entitled to look legends in the eye.
Mu Yuan glanced at Duo Lai. In silence, General Duo Lai had a certain amount of dignity.
Duo Lai was merely a mascot.
The real strategizing was handled by Isloa and Lu Liu.
Initially, Mu Yuan had wanted to include Dead Bone, but Dead Bone felt that such a high-profile role did not suit him. The mighty ones of Tianyuan should not be completely exposed, even to allies.
Mu Yuan had to admit, Dead Bone was right.
Even if Dead Bone was not present, they were still able to communicate and exchange opinions through Spiritual Link.
"We, too, have clashed several times with Fang of the Jackal Wolf's Legends, but more often than not, it ends with our defeat and withdrawal."
Legendary Elf Milena spoke.
Natural Garden was manned by more than one Legendary being, but compared to Fang of the Jackal Wolf, they were still at a disadvantage.
"Actually, when we first fled to this place, there was only one injured legendary elder left in our group. That was the weakest, most vulnerable time for Natural Garden."
