Everyone automatically grabbed the vines. Ling Fei forcibly extended one end of the bridge to another mountain and quickly tied it to a sturdy boulder while she was falling!
The vines turned into a huge swinging robe, tossing the group to the mountain that Mo Fan was heading to, right through the fierce Wind of Sorrow!
The members of the team took turns slamming into the wall of the mountain. Luckily, the vegetation along the wall provided them with some cushioning, preventing them from smashing their faces into the wall hard!
The flying creatures had no intention of letting the outsiders go. They headed for the mountain right away!
“Meteorite Fist!”
Mo Fan stood at a higher spot and threw a punch into the sky.
Meteorite Fists fell from the sky as the fliers approached the mountain, pouring down like rain. The Warrior-level creatures were intimidated by the powerful spell, and did not dare come any closer.
“Quick, let’s go!” Zhang Xiaohou climbed up the vines and quickly regrouped with Mo Fan.
The others did not dare stay any longer, the beasts were too terrifying. They could not wait to shake them off!
The group discovered a cave on the mountain, which seemed to be occupied by some demon creatures. However, the group could not care less about the creatures in the cave under the circumstances, and ran right inside. If the Winged Beasts dared to chase after them, they would die horribly when they were no longer being helped by the Wind of Sorrow!
The cave was pitch-black, but it was out of the Wind of Sorrow’s reach. The group felt a lot better after being tortured by the Wind in the open!
“Are they coming after us?” Zhao Manyan turned around and asked Bai Hongfei while running at the front of the group.
“It doesn’t seem like it. I can see them circling outside the cave!” Bai Hongfei answered.
“I’ve never encountered anything more annoying than these Winged Beasts!” Zhao Manyan swore.
The cave was not very deep, and they soon reached its end. Bai Hongfei was extremely cautious. His eyes were glittering in the dark as he scanned the area carefully, in case some demon creatures suddenly showed up in the dark.
“Be careful, a place like this is usually occupied,” Bai Hongfei warned everyone.
Bai Hongfei had just finished his sentence when there was a spark of lightning deeper in the cave. The group was nearly blinded by the arcing flash!
A moment later, Mo Fan walked over, dusting off his hands. He smiled when he noticed everyone staring at him, and explained “There was a huge leopard in the cave. I just got rid of it with my lightning. We can get some rest here and continue our journey once the other creatures are gone.”
“Damn it, it’s already so difficult, and we haven’t even reached the Paradise of the Winged Beasts yet!” Zhao Manyan grumbled.
“The person you’re trying to rescue is pretty impressive, managing to come so far on his own. Who is he?” Mo Fan asked casually.
“I can’t tell you!” Li Dexin replied coldly.

The fliers were almost gone by the time the group had recovered their energy.
Zhang Xiaohou told the group that if anyone actually used their flying ability, either the Wing Magical Equipment or the Wind Wings when they were outside, the native fliers would guard the entrance until they saw their dead bodies. They would not leave so easily.
He repeatedly reminded the group that flying was prohibited!
The group continued to climb the mountain after shaking off the annoying creatures. The Vine Canopy Layer was finally within their reach.
The vines were extremely dense, like a green island floating in the sky. When they entered the Vine Canopy Layer, it felt like they had arrived at a huge jungle full of primordial trees, where a person could easily lose their sense of direction!
Mo Fan looked around himself and examined the many vines, one looking just like another. He turned around and asked Li Dexin doubtfully, “Are you sure you can find where the guy is?”
The place was basically a maze built with trees and vines. It was extremely difficult to stay on course. How could they possibly find their target in a place like this?
“We have a way to track him down once we are close enough to him!” Ling Fei answered firmly.
“Alright, we shall part ways here then,” Mo Fan said.
“Won’t be seeing you again,” Li Dexin answered.
“I have to say, I really have the urge to blurt out cursing at people like you. We were kind enough to bring you here, yet you can’t even say a single ‘thank you’?” Zhao Manyan was very displeased by Li Dexin’s attitude.
“He’s a soldier too! Why should I be grateful to him? We are on a mission!” Li Dexin said.
“Brother Zhao, forget it, let’s go,” Zhang Xiaohou said. He could not be bothered wasting his time on someone like Li Dexin.
—
Zhang Xiaohou led the rest of the group up the vines after parting ways with Li Dexin and his men.
It was impossible to tell the right way to go up Mount Baiba. The only method was to find a location where they could see a higher spot nearby and slowly climb toward it. Every time they reached the highest point, they would see a magnificent mountain or woods standing before them!
Luckily, the mountains at the Vine Canopy Layer were interconnected by the towering vine trees. They no longer had to expose themselves to danger while traveling between the mountains. They had finally shaken off the annoying lesser beasts of the Qinling Mountains!
“I swear I’m going to beat the crap out of that Li Dexin once I reach the Super Level. Where were his manners!?” Zhao Manyan grumbled.
“We won’t be seeing him again. Just forget about it. I just wonder who they are trying to save. It sounds like he’s quite interested in and familiar with this place,” Zhang Xiaohou said.
“The Ashwood Wind Layer is coming up. Leaving aside the powerful creatures residing on the Ashwood Trees, how are we supposed to deal with the Wind of Sorrow?” Lingling brought up.
“I have no idea. I have never been to the Ashwood Wind Layer either!” Zhang Xiaohou admitted, scratched his head.
“Mo Fan, look over there,” Zhao Manyan stood on a high point, pointing at a giant purple tree in the distance!
“It’s higher there, are we going to climb that tree to the Ashwood Wind Layer?” Bai Hongfei asked.
Mo Fan stared at the ancient tree standing out among the forest giants that Zhao Manyan was pointing at. His face gradually filled with astonishment!
Under the sunlight, the giant purple tree was sprinkling mystically under the blue sky. It was supposed to be a dazzling sight, yet Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan were lost in thought.

“What is it?” Bai Hongfei and Yu Shishi were confused. They had no idea why the two were behaving like this.
“The Great Demon of Mount Kunyu!” Lingling exclaimed when she saw the giant purple tree.
