Everyone stared at Lu Chao, unsure of what to say. It just felt like following him was always an exciting, thrilling ride.
It seemed there were always pleasant surprises...
In the next moment, Lu Chao's voice grew heavy again. "These are all minor things. We still need to find a way to get the Flame Countries to agree to give the Descendants of Azure Flame a place to live."
Everyone's hearts clenched once more. This was the true priority.
Lu Chao added gravely, "First, we'll bypass Yinzhou City. Prepare yourselves. We must abandon our horses and enter the mountains."
Yinzhou City was a key stronghold on the southern border of the Great Wu Empire, flanked by towering mountain ranges teeming with Demon Beasts. Warhorses could no longer navigate the steep terrain, so they had to abandon their mounts and enter the mountains to bypass the city.
"The road ahead will be perilous."
"Our next opponents will be the Demon Beasts in the mountains and the harsh environment."
