Speaking of which, how are we supposed to climb up the mountains? Wont the winged beasts attack us if we tried to fly up? Advisor Xu inquired.

The person they were looking for seemed to be at the Vine Canopy Layer, but from what Zhang Xiaohou knew, that did not necessarily guarantee that the person was still alive. The Vine Canopy Layer might be the lowest level, but it had a lot of powerful creatures, too!

Come with me, I know a safer route. We will part ways when we reach the Vine Canopy Layer, Zhang Xiaohou said.

Thanks for your help, General Zhang! Advisor Xu said.

Zhang Xiaohou led the group to another mountain. The native creatures only cared about creatures at the same altitude or higher, and did not bother wasting their time on the creatures below them. The group had no trouble moving around in the woods beneath their territories.

This mountain is covered in vines, we can climb along them. Remember, you can only fly as a last resort! Zhang Xiaohou warned them.

The group followed Zhang Xiaohou along an extremely thick vine. The vine was so huge that they could even stand on it. Some of the vines even formed a path through the air when they were tangled up.

The vines did not cover only a single mountain. Some were a few hundred meters long, and extended to a greater height on another mountain, allowing Mo Fan and the others to walk across them to the next mountain while slowly climbing their way up!

The vines end here. Bai Hongfei halted in his tracks. He had already reached the edge of a cliff.

They were currently at the top of a mountain, a relatively short one among the peaks nearby. It felt like they were still at the bottom when they looked up, as if they were not making any progress.

Mount Baiba had too many peaks soaring into the clouds. They were still a great distance away from the Vine Canopy Layer!

Leave it to me, Ling Fei stepped forward. Her eyes emitted a strange blue flicker of light.

Ling Fei murmured softly, like she was communicating with nature. The vines that had stopped at the top of the mountain began to grow toward a taller peak nearby.

The vines wriggled along the mountain like serpents. They wove together rapidly and formed a long vine bridge connecting two peaks around four hundred meters apart. A deep canyon lay between the mountains, and they felt overwhelmed as they tried to walk on the swaying vine bridge.

The stronger Wind of Sorrow blew through the vine bridge. A Maga of the Violet Imperial Battalion immediately set up a shield of Light to protect the group.

A stronger gust of the Wind of Sorrow swept across the vine bridge when the group reached midway. The Light crumbled instantly, exposing the group to the fierce wind!

It was not the end of their misfortune. The Wind of Sorrow was only the entre for the outsiders. A bunch of flying creatures had noticed the humans sneaking into their paradise!

The sound of the beating wings became clearer. It only came from above at first, but the loud noise soon surrounded them. Most awkwardly, the group was stuck on the vine bridge with limited space to move around.

Didnt you say they wouldnt attack creatures at a lower altitude? We havent reached their altitude! Zhao Manyan shrieked when the fliers showed up.

These are only the lesser fliers. They are from below the Vine Canopy Layer! Zhang Xiaohou replied.

What should we do now? Zhao Manyan asked.

What else can we do? Screw them, Ive tolerated them for too long! Mo Fan rolled his sleeves up in annoyance.

There was indeed nothing else the group could do except engage the creatures!

Cant we fight them after we reach the next mountain? Zhao Manyan yelled.

Sure, you can try negotiating with the creature with colorful feathers right above you! Mo Fan replied agreeably.

Was he stupid? These creatures had obviously launched their attack now because they knew humans were unable to fly and were vulnerable to the Wind of Sorrow. How brainless was Zhao Manyan!?

Telekinesis!

Mo Fan made his move right away. He gathered his Will on the rocks nearby and forcibly dragged them out.

The mountain was some distance away, but the reach of Mo Fans Will was impressive, and he continued to accelerate the rocks he had grabbed. The rocks were like missiles by the time they arrived!

The many different flying creatures about beat their wings rapidly. They were very nimble in the air, and the rocks only managed to hit a few of them. It was quite a surprise to Mo Fan, since his accuracy was on point most of the time.

Brother Fan, they are more agile than ordinary Warrior-level creatures because of the Wind of Sorrow. You will have to limit their movements to land your attacks on them! Zhang Xiaohou exclaimed.

Mo Fans Telekinesis was more than enough to handle Warrior-level creatures, but he did not expect these flying things to be so quick after using the Wind of Sorrow.

Mo Fan had no choice but to use stronger spells to take them out!

Space Rhythm: Time Stasis!

Mo Fan cast a Space Spell again. A huge rhomboid loomed over the area.

The rhomboid greatly slowed down the creatures within it, like they were moving in a pool of mud. Mo Fan was quite adept at utilizing the Time Stasis. The Winged Beasts nearby were moving significantly slower, as if they were suddenly caught in slow motion.
