Chapter 624: Chapter 375: Scaling the Summit of the Giant Peak (7.4K!)
```
Wolf Fang Lair, a place shrouded in red fog.
The last group of monsters of the Legendary Realm gathered there.
Two more figures were added inside, one of which was a Giant Dragon Legend from the Dragon Sleep Valley, and the other was a Mirage Shell Legend. The former escaped from Duo Lai's hands while the latter escaped from Dead Bone's grasp.
They had already heard the news that one after another, the underling tribes had been uprooted by living beings.
A heavy atmosphere of gloom permeated the entire lair.
"Don't panic, the messenger we sent to Dragon Sleep Valley for help has already left. At the latest in a month or a month and a half, we should receive a response from Dragon Sleep Valley."
"Even now, as long as we contract the scope of our influence and concentrate our strength in defense, we can remain unafraid of the human forces and even cause them to suffer casualties."
The Wolf King said this with confidence still intact.
After all, even the peripheral underling tribes had caused some losses to living beings, not to mention the Wolf Fortress they had spent vast financial resources to construct.
There, he had left some 'gifts' for the humans.
...
Below the black colossal mountain, in the dense forest cloaked by white fog.
Several hundred elite troops led by General Duo Lai had arrived at this place.
Duo Lai looked towards the Rakshasa in the midst of the troops and then shifted his gaze to Bone Four and Sophia.
He was the commander of the troops, but only nominally so, as he never bothered with tasks that required the use of brain cells. This was known as the wisdom of a general.
A massive Frost Giant Dragon flew in, Sario spoke up, "Now that we've discovered the enemy's stronghold, what are we waiting for? My claws are itching for action."
Duo Lai naturally inclined towards direct confrontation; however, since it was Sario's suggestion, he thought it more appropriate to hear what others had to say.
At that moment, an invisible yet familiar wave of spiritual power suddenly descended,
This spiritual power coalesced, taking the form of Mu Yuan with a faint glow.
It was his incarnation made from expanding his own spiritual power and shaping it using the Spiritual Link network as a foundation! Despite its weak combat power, crossing thousands of kilometers for such a long-distance incarnation was a feat akin to the divine.
Yet no one present was awed.
It took Sario two seconds before he said, "We welcome the arrival of Lord.
Mu Yuan gazed into the distance.
The trees were tall and the fog ethereal; to the naked eye, nothing could be seen. But through the Created Black Crows shared by Sophia, he had glimpsed a vast fortress standing amidst the fog.
This white fog served to obscure vision, confuse perception, and shield against probing.
However, for the Black Crows with their 'Phantom Night Eyes,' these obscuring and confusing effects were meaningless.
The soil outside the fortress was a deep red color, as if blood had flowed and then dried and solidified over and over, leaving behind this hue. On either side of the grandiose fortress gate were carved two ferocious and majestic wolf heads, in the middle of a howling pose.
"The fortress inside seems to be heavily guarded, possessing some special probing techniques. My Black Crows can circuNovelFireent and enter, but barely fly far before losing contact."
Sophia said.
She had sent a total of twenty Created Black Crows in three batches to infiltrate, yet none survived. The longest surviving Black Crow lasted only twelve seconds inside the fortress and could not probe any valuable information.
After all, they were just crows, with exceptional scouting and stealth capabilities but very weak in defense and survival. Once discovered, they were as good as dead.
Sophia's probing of the Wolf Fortress yielded little, but in the short time the troops had stayed in the area, she had already uncovered several hidden Wolf Fang scouts.
Mu Yuan would not allow Sophia to personally delve deep into the investigation. Doing so would be no different from directly charging in, as Sario had suggested.
He, from his territory far away, controlled the Staff of Divine Right.
The Great Force of the Eye of Heaven pierced the mist, bringing every aspect of the Wolf Fortress visible from the air into view.
At this moment, apart from the denser red mist within the fortress compared to the last time the Eye of Heaven probed, there seemed to be no difference.
The only difference was...
Within the entire Wolf Fortress, there was not a single energy reaction of the Legendary Realm.
Apparently, Wolf Fang had moved all its legends away... or perhaps, the legends dared not stay here. However...
"There are no legends, but the whole Wolf Fortress seems to be bracing for a siege. Wolf Fang wouldn't really think that the fortress alone could withstand our assault, would they?"
He did not believe that Wolf Fang would think so.
There might be traps inside, perhaps even ones capable of injuring those of the Legendary Realm.
This was not a difficult guess.
Yet it was an overt strategy; unless they were willing not to uproot this important fortress.
Mu Yuan stroked his chin, pondering, and after a while, he ordered, "The entire army retreats ten kilometers."
Their previous position was seven or eight kilometers away from the Wolf Fortress.
The typical range for someone of the Legendary Realm wielding the Power of Heaven and Earth for an attack was four to six kilometers, a distance that could perhaps be doubled by those with special abilities.
Being among the elite of the Tianyuan Territory, Mu Yuan's order was swiftly executed by the hundreds of elites, who silently retreated like ghosts, with only Sario making a noticeable disturbance.
They crossed ten kilometers in no time.
Not deeming it secure enough, Mu Yuan ordered them to retreat another ten kilometers, and then...
He manipulated the Staff of Divine Right and, using the map revealed by the Eye of Heaven, cast a nuclear-leveled Nine-headed Roaring Thunder Flame Dragon.
What he had in abundance were such large-scale magical techniques.
With the Eye of Heaven opened and able to use large-scale magical techniques to probe for dangers, there was no need to risk his soldiers' lives.
