Chapter 92: Repairing the Plank Road in the Open but Marching Secretly Towards Chencang!
Fire Soup Small World, the boundary of the third line of defense.
If the defense line were expanded horizontally, it would be difficult to cover areas that were too far away.
To the right, dozens of miles from the defense base, there was a low-lying valley with a pool of water.
The water in the pool was still boiling hot, with steam rising continuously. Surrounding the valley were dense trees,
creating a misty environment with significantly reduced visibility.
Gurgle, gurgle!
Suddenly, the water in the valley pool surged wildly, creating a commotion as if something was about to break through the surface.
Bang!
The water erupted, and a deep blue barrier encased a sphere that shot up, landing on the shore with a splash.
Within the translucent azure barrier, a figure appeared to be spreading its wings.
As the barrier shattered, the figures inside were revealed.
Standing nearly two meters tall, these bird-like creatures were the ones hidden within the barrier.
They had flat beaks, and their feathers were all red, with the tips of their tails orange-red, resembling burning flames.
Their feathers were glossy, and their bodies were plump.
These were the rulers of Fire Soup Small World—one of the vassal races of the Red Eagle Clan from the Red Realm of the main world.
The Fire Feather Clan.
There were only six of them in total.
One of the Fire Feathers turned to a smaller one beside it and spoke in their language, "Young Chief, this infiltration was a great success."
"Is this within the third line of defense?" the young chief of the Fire Feather Clan asked while scanning the area.
"That's right. We used treasures like the Water-Repellent Beads to overcome our clan's weakness and pass through underground currents to infiltrate the third line of defense," an elderly Fire Feather Clan elder nodded.
It raised its head and gazed into the distance. "Through the intelligence we received and our verification, we can confirm this."
"This time, the human race is using this battle as a test and training ground for their young warriors."
"Our clan leader is leading the main army to the border, risking his life to confront the rising star of the human race, Longteng Xueqiang Xuexiao,
just to create this precious opportunity for you and the young geniuses of our clan."
As he spoke, the Fire Feather Clan elder glanced at the four other young Fire Feather Clan members, each of whom had an equally strong aura.
The young chief of the Fire Feather Clan licked his lips, his eyes flashing with excitement. "Is it really that beneficial to use young human geniuses as blood food?"
"Indeed. Humans are excellent food sources. Their flesh and blood contain spirituality that enhances our potential and raises our upper limit,"
the elder explained, his voice deep and deliberate.
"Our superior race, the Red Eagle Clan, was once just a dominant force in a small world, equal in status to us and the Flame Bird Clan."
"But when their world first became a Starry Sky Road, connecting the Red Realm and the Human World, they ambushed the unsuspecting human race, devouring a vast number of their precious blood food."
"Their talents grew, their racial potential expanded, and they developed into the powerful force they are today."
"The Flame Bird Clan, envious of the Red Eagles' rise, followed the same path. But when their world became a Starry Sky Road and their space-time gate opened,
they slaughtered humans recklessly, devouring them in madness."
"However, they were too aggressive, too desperate."
"The human race, enraged, retaliated with all their might, wiping out the Flame Bird Clan and seizing control of their world, cutting it off from the Red Realm."
"That is why we must be cautious, careful—always maintaining limits to prevent the humans from becoming too enraged."
The Fire Feather Clan elder continued, "Right now, the human race's attention is fixed on the main battlefield ahead."
"The Fire Frog and Fire Fish tribes will lure their young geniuses straight to us."
"Once the Young Clan Leader and the rest of you consume these human prodigies as blood food, your talent and potential will skyrocket to unprecedented levels."
"Not only will you surpass your current limits, but you will also become the most powerful Supreme Beings of the Fire Feather Clan in the future."
"Your descendants will also evolve and become stronger."
"Once you have feasted, we will retreat quietly. By the time the humans realize what happened, we will be long gone."
The Fire Feather Clan elder spread his massive wings and gently patted the young chief and the young geniuses of the clan.
"Let's move quickly. Time is short. We must consume as many human geniuses as possible in the shortest time."
Upon hearing the elder's words, the young chief and the other Fire Feather geniuses became visibly excited.
They were already highly gifted within their clan.
Now, they had a rare opportunity to sneak behind enemy lines and devour human prodigies to further enhance their potential.
They could hardly imagine how far they would progress after this mission.
What kind of recognition and rewards would they receive when they returned to their tribe?
Just as they were about to take action—
"It walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, but I didn't expect it to waddle too. These Fire Feathers sure are fatter than I imagined."
A voice rang out in the misty silence—loud and abrupt.
The Fire Feather Clan elder's eyes immediately darkened as he snapped his gaze toward the source of the voice.
Because of their tall stature and oversized heads, their expressions were particularly exaggerated—making the elder's stunned face even more comical.
Whoosh!
With a powerful flap of its wings, a gust of wind blew away the thick mist, revealing a figure standing on a nearby hillside.
"A human?"
The Fire Feather Clan elder was momentarily surprised to see two human figures.
Looking more closely, he realized something even more shocking—
These humans were incredibly young.
"Their blood energy is vigorous… impressive for humans of their age," the elder murmured as he examined them.
"They must be young human geniuses."
"I really didn't expect this mission to be so lucky."
Excitement flickered in the Fire Feather elder's eyes. He flapped his wings and gestured toward the two figures on the hillside.
"These must be human prodigies! They're young, so their flesh must be tender and smooth!"
"And judging by their auras, they are only at Level 1, so they'll be easy prey for you."
"Shui Yunxing! Go hunt them down!"
"One of them belongs to the Young Clan Leader, and the other will be your reward for your first kill. Devour them and experience the power of human blood food!"
As the Fire Feather Clan elder gave the order, he pointed at the two humans on the hillside and instructed a young warrior beside him.
"Leave it to me, Elder!" The young Fire Feather warrior grinned confidently.
As a Level 2 creature, he believed it would be effortless to crush a Level 1 human.
His eyes gleamed with hunger as he anticipated the taste of fresh human blood.
