Yun Feng, Yun Sheng and Qu Lanyi jumped to Lan Yi’s back. Kai dropped a hint at Kasa. Kasa blushed, but gritted her teeth, hoping to join them. Seeing that, Yun Feng said coldly, “Princess Kasa, your griffin is over there.”
Kasa stood with a reddened face. Then, Kai walked to them. “Yun Feng, since you’re on the same team, and Kasa is your leader, it’s nothing inappropriate for her to take the same Magic Beast as yours, right?”
Yun Feng sneered. The Karan Royal Family was truly shameless. Did they think that they could ride Lan Yi? Even if she accepted, Lan Yi wouldn’t! She smiled and said, “Alright, if Princess Kasa isn’t afraid of falling from the sky halfway, come on up.”
Kai changed her expression, and Kasa’s face was even redder. Indeed, she wasn’t that shameless. She wouldn’t have even come if Uncle Kai hadn’t asked her to! “Siqi, come with me!” Kasa shouted, and the timid girl who had freckles nodded and looked at Lan Yi enviously. She then followed Kasa to the griffin.
Kai smiled awkwardly, and boarded on another griffin. When everybody was ready, the four griffins flapped their wings and took off under his command. Yun Feng had planned to invite Ze Ran, but it might make his teammates reject him, so she didn’t. As for Siqi, it seemed that Kasa had found herself a follower in the past three days.
“Lan Yi, keep up,” Yun Feng gave an order. Lan Yi unfolded its gigantic wings. The mysterious pattern on the wings was exceptionally beautiful. A blue streak of light crossed the sky. Very soon, it caught up with the other four griffins, which were all rather nervous. Those griffins were too slow for Lan Yi.
There was a major contrast between the enormous beautiful griffin and the small ones. Everybody stared at Lan Yi earnestly, fascinated by its beauty. Yun Feng and her companions were seated on Lan Yi’s back comfortably. Kasa and Siqi had enough space on their griffin too. However, the warriors were rather crowded on their griffin.
“How I envy her. As expected of a summoner. She’s truly extraordinary.” A warrior looked at Lan Yi and Yun Feng in fascination. “She’s also so beautiful. I’ll have no regrets in my life if I can marry a woman like her.”
“In your dream. Brother Yuntian is the only one who is suitable for that summoner,” someone adulated Murong Yuntian loudly, but it didn’t work out as expected. Murong Yuntian was painfully reminded of the arranged marriage between him and Yun Feng, and hated his family for ruining it.
Ze Ran had been watching Yun Feng quietly. He quietly clenched his fists. Was he closer to her now, or further? She was already a summoner. He must work harder to keep up with her. He turned his head aside and looked at Murong Yuntian, only to find that the man had been staring at Yun Feng. He lowered his head.
Kasa had been angry since she jumped on the griffin’s back. Although Siqi had come with her, she obviously envied her other teammates. Kasa shouted angrily, “What are you looking at? Do you think a flying Magic Beast is remarkable? The royal family has a lot too!”
Siqi withdrew her gaze and stopped talking. Kasa gritted her teeth in fury and turned her eyes to Murong Yuntian. When she found that Murong Yuntian was gazing at Yun Feng, Kasa was infuriated. Yun Feng, Yun Feng, do you think you’ll always be so lucky as to have everything great? Just wait for it! Kasa laughed with a twisted face, which diminished her grace as the princess. Before the international contest, an undercurrent was already flowing in the teams.
The Cashya Empire was located to the east of the Karan Empire. Each of the four empires had two neighboring empires, so they all kept the same pace in any event. The trip from the Karan Empire’s capital to the Cashya Empire’s would take about five days. Lan Yi could cover it in two days, but Yun Feng wasn’t in a rush. She simply followed the rest of the griffins. After two days, they passed the Karan Empire’s border and entered the borderlands between the two empires. The moment they entered the territory, Yun Feng felt a depressing vibe. She looked down, but there were clouds that blocked her eyesight and prevented her from seeing anything clearly. However, the depressing vibe lingered. Lan Yi sent a thought.
“Master, we have unexpected guests here.”
Yun Feng furrowed her brows. She remembered her master’s description of the Cashya Empire about the areas in the south and west of the Cashya Empire, which were isolated and not habited by human beings. Gradually, Magic Beasts had taken up those areas.
Unexpected guests… They must be the Magic Beasts that rested here… Hardly had the idea occurred to Yun Feng when she detected the changing air current. “Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!” Noises came from the clouds down below. The four griffins were all shocked, and flew even more vehemently. “Pull yourselves together, and be prepared for battle!” Sangqu’s voice came from the sky. The five warriors on the griffin’s back were immediately prepared for battle. Kasa seemed nervous, and Siqi seemed even more terrified.
“Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!” More and more noises were echoing. Gradually, the four griffins halted and wouldn’t fly any further. Sangqu and Kai were both nervous. At this critical moment, the Magic Beasts that only served as mounts couldn’t fight at all!
Earsplitting noises were coming close, mixed with the sounds of flapping wings. The clouds down below suddenly dispersed. All of a sudden, a swarm of creatures darted upwards. Seeing that, both Sangqu and Kai became pale. “We’ve met bloodthirsty bats… And there are so many…” said Sangqu with a shivering voice. He quickly glanced at others. The griffins were already too scared to move further. The swarm of creatures was exclusively made of bats that had protruding fangs on their scary faces.
