Lin Wu was staring at the map window and saw something moving. It was quite large and looked as it it was flying over the tress of the forest. Currently it was about fifty kilometers away from his location but with the speed it was moving at, Lin Wu was sure it would reach there quickly.

Though the problem was that he didn't know if the beast that was heading toward them would attack them or not. From what he could see on the map, there were plenty of other beasts in the path of the flying beast. But it had not stopped and attacked them, but rather just flew past them.

'Hopefully, it is just passing by and is not out for hunting…' Lin Wu thought to himself but still prepared himself to run.

Just from the size of that flying beast, Lin Wu could guess that its cultivation base was quite high.

"System, can you scan and see what that beast is?" Lin Wu asked.

~Ding~

WARNING!: Nascent soul realm beast detected.

SUGGESTION: The host is advised to retreat.

"Oh F*ck!" Before Lin Wu even had the chance to complete the sentence the system automatically gave him a warning.

Shirong who had been resting for this entire time, suddenly felt as if the forest had gone quiet. It was night time thus there should Herve been some cries and growls of beasts coming from everywhere but it was strangely calm.

Suddenly Shirong felt danger coming from his connection with the green crystal spear. He opened his eyes and saw that the green crustal spear was trembling in its place as if something was wrong. He picked it up and felt a new thing from the connection.

"Run?… RUN!" Shirong understood and took out the spirit sword to fly.

He didn't know why the spear was telling him this, or rather just projecting the feeling of fear on him. But Shirong knew deep in his heart that he needed to escape as soon as possible. Lin Wu on the other hand was looking at the map and was searching for a place to hide.

They barely had any time left, and the flying beast was only ten kilometers away from them now.

"System search for suitable locations to hide!" Lin Wu ordered.

~Ding~

LOCATION FOUND: Marking on map

——

Thankfully, the system was rather quick this time and Lin Wu was pointed towards a cave in the ground nearby. But the problem was, the cave was in the opposite direction to which they were running. This meant that if they wanted to hide there, they would have to go back a bit.

"Dammit! What is happening!" Shirong creased as he could sense the winds that had gotten stronger.

He wanted to speed up, but then felt a pull on his hand. The green crystal spear in his hand seemed to be trying to pull him towards something.

'What does it want now?' Shirong thought.

Seeing that the direction it was trying to pull him towards was the direction opposite to the one he was running in and towards the source of danger, Shirong hesitated.

"GAH! I'll just do it!" Shirong uttered as he quickly turned back.

The flying beast was now only five kilometers away from them and Lin Wu would have been able to see it with his two eyes if it were not for the canopy of the forest hiding the view of the sky. Shirong reached the cave that the spear was directing him towards just a couple of seconds before the flying beast passed over the forest canopy.

The trees shook from the winds generated by the wings of the beast, and Lin Wu finally got a clear look at it and had already told the system to scan it.

The beast in question was a large Eagle that had a wing span of nearly ten meters. Its feathers were yellow, while its beak was silver in color. It had sharp claws that were thirty centimeters long and its eyes were black in color.

Shirong could also feel the waves of spirit qi coming from that beast and knew what it was.

"A Nascent Soul realm beast!" He muttered with shock.

The beast kept on flying and did not pay attention to him. The danger that they were feeling passed away quickly and Shirong slumped to the ground.

"What the hell is a Nascent soul realm beast doing outside of the sixth ring or even the fifth ring?" Shirong wondered.

Usually, the nascent soul realm beasts would not leave the sixth ring and would only go to the fifth ring at the very most. But from the speed and direction, this eagle beast was heading towards, Shirong could tell that it was leaving the forest.

While System was still analyzing the data from the beast, Lin Wu decided to contact the two servant beasts of his.

"Master? You need something?" The mole beast questioned.

It had been calmly digging through the ground and heading to do its task when he heard the voice of his new master in his mind. He thus had no choice but to stop and listen to what he was saying.

"Tell me among the five rulers of the millennium forest, is there an eagle beast?" Lin Wu questioned.

"Yes, master. The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle is one of the five rulers of the forest. Though I do not know much about him, nor have I seen him before either." The mole beast answered.

"Alright, that's fine." Lin Wu replied before communicating with the beetle beast.

"The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle? I haven't seen him before master, I've only heard of him from the other beasts. It is said that he is the second oldest beast here after the Twin Light Liger king and that his power was unrivaled until the Olive Viper King came." The beetle beast spoke.

Lin Wu was intrigued by this information and wondered how he could take benefit of this.

"Hmm… let's wait for the system's analysis.
