The muddy river of the Shaman Canyon was shrouded by a thick and hazy fog, so only a vast expanse of whiteness could be seen when overlooking the river . The waves on the surface of the river surged continuously . A few boats were navigating the muddy river, with some residents of the nearby base cities on board .

“Following the arrival of the affluent second generation not long ago, I've heard that quite a few of the powerful monsters in the mountains have been taken away . ” A middle-aged man on the boat who was wearing a green jacket was envious . “There were rumors about Old Deng buying a new familiar after trading information . ”

A person beside him shook his head and said, “Why am I not having such good luck?”

“There's still a chance . I heard that the Shaman Canyon isn't as eerie as it was before . It was said that the other monsters were busy fighting for territory after the powerful monsters were taken away . People seldom came to the Shaman Canyon back then, so there were actually a lot of precious materials in there,” said the white-haired old man as he grinned with an opium pipe in his hand .

After listening to the old man's words, a group of people next to him looked at each other and grinned, too .

Someone on the boat laughed while asking, “Li Gang, I thought your family had a mining business . Why did you follow us here, too?”

“There's no mine left,” Li Gang said with a speechless expression . He was annoyed whenever this incident was brought up .

Initially, his family had undertaken a small mine in town, and they had been able to live a comfortable and plentiful life . At that time, his cash and fluid funds were fixed on the mine, hoping that he would be able to earn a fortune if the mining business developed . No one had expected that all of a sudden, a disaster would ravage the town, causing various monsters to appear in the mine, even killing some people . The mine was blockaded entirely, becoming a f*cking forbidden area .

Can you even imagine how it feels to have your own mine turned into a forbidden area? This is mental . The coal mine belongs to me, but you guys are always bringing along your familiars as if you're warriors trying to break into the evil king's nest . Are you kidding me?!

“There's no mine left . ”

“I think it was a coal mine . ”

People around him were discussing it like it was an entertaining anecdote . Li Gang had to try his best to keep smiling, although he was actually extremely p.i.s.sed .

“It was just a small mine . ” Li Gang waved his hand and acted like he didn't care at all .

The group didn't notice that there was a gigantic shadow following them under their boat in the river .

There were huge mountains behind the Southern Sky Group . One of the highest mountains had its peak flattened into a wide, open s.p.a.ce . Two familiars were standing while facing each other in the s.p.a.ce .

The one on the left was a big, muscular vulture with s.h.i.+ny black fur and red eye shadow on its lids . Its protruding pectoral muscles screamed violence, and as part of the bird species, its muscles caused fear in a lot of land beasts .

“Goldie, you've been slacking these days,” said the Blood Eye Bearded Vulture in a deep voice .

Goldie, wearing a Buddhist's beaded necklace on its neck, was standing opposite the vulture, looking very anxious and serious . “I did train hard . ”

“You know the intensity that I'm talking about,” the Blood Eye Bearded Vulture said sternly . It grasped its wings firmly and struck them hard on its chest .

“I only reminded you because we have the same interests and we belong in the bird species! There's not going to be a second time!”

Goldie was unconvinced . I'm a duck, poultry . I'm n.o.ble enough to be presented on a dining table .

“Shall we?” Goldie provoked the Blood Eye Bearded Vulture .

The Blood Eye Bearded Vulture looked at Goldie with its eyes squinted into a line . Its gaze was as sharp as a blade .

Boooom! An explosive cloud burst behind the Blood Eye Bearded Vulture as it skyrocketed into the skies in a flash . The clouds were ripped apart by its strong muscles as its tough, black feathers glittered coldly .

“I'm aware of your skill . You get stronger as you fight . You even defeated a high-quality King-tier monster yesterday with that skill . ” The voice of the Blood Eye Bearded Vulture was heard in the sky from afar . “But I wanted to let you know that there isn't such a thing as invincible power, only invincible heart!”

Goldie clenched its fist, in a bad mood . I can get over criticisms from Gao Peng, but not from a bird like you . Who are you to speak to me like this?!

In the skies, the vulture tightly covered its body with its wings, forming a bullet shape . After training relentlessly, its body was harder than diamonds, and its beak was sharper than the tip of a bullet .

The Blood Eye Bearded Vulture knew how capable Goldie was, so it wasn't going to prolong the battle and Goldie didn't intend to, either .

Goldie lifted its head and squinted . It saw a black dot approaching it .  The burning sun was above, and the dazzling sunlight caused it to see overlapping images . So fast .

The vulture plunged down rapidly from above . Its long curves stretched out from the exploded clouds and could be seen in front of its shadow . The undispersed clouds left a sheer rainbow behind the vulture .

A sense of danger emerged in Goldie . It was this sense of danger that caused it to retreat promptly to avoid the attack .

However, the Blood Eye Bearded Vulture, who was diving at a high speed, was also able to adjust its direction . Although it couldn't make substantial adjustments, a slight maneuver was still possible .

Flowing Light, who was leaping between the mountains, saw the falling meteor . Its sight couldn't move away from the falling meteor as it stopped on the peak of one of the hills .

“That's really fast,” Flowing Light exclaimed .

Flamy, who was hovering in the skies, looked down at the ground and saw Goldie clenching its fists while the Blood Eye Bearded Vulture was plunging down . It softly murmured, “Two barbarians . ”

Goldie bent its legs and stared closely at the vulture, who was growing nearer to it .

Three, two one… Now!

Goldie jumped up and retreated backward at the last moment . I avoided it!

While Goldie was covertly rejoicing, a sudden pulling force caused it to stumble . It staggered and moved forward, being drawn helplessly into the deadly hurricane .

Boom!!! The peak of the mountain trembled severely . Cracks spread out like spider webs from the target .

The two deepest cracks, which were unfathomably deep, almost ripped the mountain into two .

In the midst of the clamor, Flamy was fl.u.s.tered as it flew down . “Baldie, are you all right?”

A voice reached out from the smoke and ashes as it coughed, “Bi Yuan, I'm all right . Are you here to make fun of me, you treacherous and cunning crane?!”

“You don't seem to be hurting, since you can still talk . ” A low but sharp voice drowned out Goldie's words .

Pow! A m.u.f.fled voice was heard, and the Blood Eye Bearded Vulture walked out with Goldie in its hands .

Flamy was furious when it saw the unconscious Goldie . The Blood Eye Bearded Vulture threw Goldie on the ground . “This little egoistic yellow duck is fine . It just fainted . ”

The vulture covered its beak with its black feathers while coughing, then flew away . “Tell it that if it's willing, to come over and train with me tomorrow morning . I won't force it if it doesn't want to . ”

The vulture coughed again after flying away . There was some blood coming out of its beak .

“It was indeed too much to use this skill that's beyond my limits . My grade has finally risen, and the physical limits of my body may have increased, too . ” The Blood Eye Bearded Vulture stayed silent . “Is it a must for me to raise my grade in order to increase my physical limits…?”
