Ke Mo and two others left the garrison camp and traveled hundreds of li in the dark night before finally setting foot on Baoping Mountain.
As for why they went to the garrison.
One reason was to figure out the places where the Peng Yao often appeared.
The second was to friendly pull out a hammer and tell Guard Qi that he would return, hoping that next time he would come, Fu Yingzi’s family would be well.
Otherwise, within three days…..
Under the night sky, tall trees were like woven nets, and from time to time, the chirping of insects and birds broke through the night air.
Huang Donglai moved like the wind, sniffing.
While searching for traces of the Peng Yao, he could also pick up medicinal herbs along the way.
“Huang brother’s movement technique.”
Ke Mo watched with admiration.
Murong Xiao was a bit envious, not knowing when he would make it onto the Qianlong List:
“No wonder Huang brother is called Flying Poison Double-Sided Turtle.”
Huang Donglai froze for a moment, almost hitting a tree.
“Have you found the place where the Peng Yao recently rests?”
Ke Mo looked up and asked.
“This is indeed a place it occasionally visits.”
Huang Donglai nodded, then said sympathetically,
“But it should be afraid of being ambushed, as cunning as a rabbit with three holes, this should only be a diversion.”
“So where is its real nest?”
“Don’t worry, Brother Ke, I can find it!”
Huang Donglai picked up a piece of soil and tasted it carefully.
“Reliable!”
Ke Mo gave a thumbs up.
Deciding to bring Huang Donglai along before departure was indeed a very wise decision, avoiding many troubles and acting as a living map of the South Border, even with built-in navigation tracking.
Not long after.
On the cliff at the top of the mountain.
Huang Donglai tasted the soil again and nodded as he looked at a cave nearby.
“This place should be the real nest of the Peng Yao.”
“But it seems it hasn’t been here for two or three days, probably because of Immortal Lady Yingzi.”
“Then it should still come here.”
Ke Mo covered his nose, isolating the strange smell from the nest, and frowned.
“Huang brother, shouldn’t we prepare something?”
The Peng Yao’s flying speed was extremely fast.
Speed was currently Little Ke’s weakness, even if he had a superior step technique paired with Cloud Step Shoes, he couldn’t compare with a bloodline extraordinary bird demon.
Huang Donglai was not lacking in speed, and with the help of Cloud Step Shoes, he could definitely catch up.
But he wasn’t sure he could defeat it.
Murong Xiao…..
He was in the Internal Breathing Realm, barely half a combatant.
“Traps for dealing with bird demons…”
Huang Donglai began to think.
However, he hadn’t figured out the most foolproof method yet.
Little Ke’s brain suddenly sparked!
“Hey, Huang brother, you can catch up but you might not necessarily win, right?”
“That’s correct.”
“If I can’t catch up, I can definitely win, right?”
“Of course.”
Huang Donglai was puzzled.
Their strengths couldn’t be combined.
Then he saw Ke Mo smile and say,
“In that case, wouldn’t it work if I rode you?”
Huang Donglai: “? ?”
Ke Mo turned to Murong Xiao:
“Brother Murong has the bloodline of the Ming Jiao, and the Ming Jiao and the Da Peng clan are mortal enemies, right?”
“Yes, my family’s letter mentioned that I must avoid the territory of the Da Peng clan.”
Murong Xiao came back to his senses, recalling what he told Brother Ke.
Ke Mo clenched his fist and hit his palm, smiling:
“In that case, Brother Murong will lure it into a trap! I’ll teach you some techniques to provoke it, and once it comes towards you, throw out the Soft Sinew Powder.”
“Ah?”
Murong Xiao pointed at himself: “Me?”
Ke Mo continued:
“Once it falls for it, I’ll ride on Huang brother and suddenly attack. How would the Peng Yao react?”
“Our chances of making it come without going back will be one in a thousand!”
This strategy combined the fighting skills of the Fighting King and Huang Donglai’s speed!
It was absolutely flawless!
“!!!”
Murong Xiao leaned back in disbelief. Huang Donglai took a deep breath.
He had faced many enemies, but never seen such a bizarre strategy.
If he were in their shoes, even he would have no choice but to accept defeat facing this combination.
And yet, he and Brother Ke were quite close!
…..
The next evening.
Outside Baoping Mountain, a giant bird shadow flew over, causing strong gusts of wind, scaring animals and birds in the forest to flee.

Setting
Traditional Simplified
As a soon-to-be Sage Rank, with a powerful bloodline, the great Peng did not like to rely on its clan.
If the entire Baoping Mountain was its territory, how wonderful would that be?
The sunset shone on its head, reflecting dazzling light, indicating it was in a bad mood.
“Xiaoqing actually doesn’t want to see me anymore.”
“It’s all that human woman’s fault!”
The Peng Yao flew and cursed, its voice filled with anger and fear.
Of course, it had reason to be afraid.
During the Da Shang Dynasty, the Qingluan clan was one of the ten strongest clans.
Since then, they guarded the South Border together with the Da Shang’s strong.
Later, when the border troops and strong returned to the Imperial Capital, the Qingluan clan stayed behind. After the fall of the Da Shang Imperial Capital, they remained in the South Border to recuperate and grow.
“The human woman could enter the Qingluan Clan Land with her own body.”
“And she was treated so specially…..”
It muttered while flying near the cliff.
After circling several times, it never landed.
Something was wrong.
There were ten signs of something being off, this smell…..
Its eyesight was excellent. Narrowing its pupils, it saw someone sitting in front of its nest…..
A bald head?
How dare a monk be so arrogant!
No, wait, it wasn’t just a monk.
The Peng Yao flew closer and identified the scales on the neck and the claws.
That hateful smell was from a Ming Jiao!
The Peng Yao hated monks, especially a Ming Jiao with a bloodline, especially when it was already angry.
However, it still had some sense, not approaching rashly.
“Bald bird!”
Murong Xiao suddenly spoke, pointing at it.
Peng Yao: “?”
Do you know how handsome I was before I went bald?
Before it could react.
Murong Xiao silently recited Amitabha and shouted,
“I still can’t forget the feeling of kissing your mother.”
“?”
“The duck tongue from the hotpot last time was delicious.”
“You’re the duck, I’m eating you!”
From the faint redness on Peng Yao’s bald head, it was evident it was already furious.
Ignoring everything else, it dived straight down, intending to swallow this bloodline enemy.
But before it could swoop close.
Several jars were suddenly thrown by Murong Xiao, smashing the ground and raising clouds of dust.
“A trap!?”
Peng Yao felt weak in the limbs upon smelling that odor, but having fought many beasts and monsters in the mountains, it immediately stopped.
With its wings flapping, it blew away the dust.
“This Seven Wonders Soft Sinew Powder is better than nothing.”
A voice rang from not far away, Huang Donglai who had been waiting.
“Let’s take it down first.”
Another figure suddenly rushed out from the dust, holding a hammer.
“Hehe, these tricks won’t catch me, Big Brother!”
Peng Yao flew back up.
Although its realm was higher, the opponent clearly had prepared.
It had just been affected by some poison, a direct confrontation might not win, and it didn’t know if there were other traps, so it decided to withdraw tactically.
Humans need the Inner Breath Realm to fly, and their speed certainly isn’t as fast as it.
So….
“Eat my bird droppings!”
Peng Yao intended to disgust the opponent before retreating.
But the next moment.
It saw a sight it would never forget.
“Huang brother! Combo move!”
Li Mo shouted.
“Here we go!”
Huang Donglai bent down after changing into the Cloud Step Shoes.
He didn’t know why, hearing Brother Li’s shout, he felt a strange burning sensation?
His back sank.
Li Mo grabbed the hammer and jumped onto Huang Donglai’s back, the latter using his full speed.
Thus.
Li Mo rode Huang Donglai towards the sky, extremely fast and fiercely!
Combo move — Ice!
Even Peng Yao felt a chill at this critical moment.
“Can this really work?!”

In dreams, if I could see the audience lords charging, that would be too blissful Orz.
