The Ancient Genes

Chapter 765 - In The Depths Of Orena

"How much more? Won't we arrive in the inner regions at this rate?" Mark asked with a frown. They had come very deep in the Orena. And, at their current pace, it won't be long before they reach the inner regions.

The Mana Beast they had been encountering were getting strong and stronger as they travelled towards the depth of the Orena as well. It wouldn't be long before they end up bumping into some terrifying existence.

"There is nothing to worry about. Just watch carefully what happens ahead," Bayu said with a smirk on his face.

Mark wasn't sure what this was about. But, he didn't ask, and concentrated on getting some rest in this break time. After all, he had been vigilant the entire time and this was truly taxing mentally.

Besides, they would move again very soon. So, it wasn't worth it to waste this time.

Mark sat on the ground, and laid his back against a tree. There was a group who were currently on lookout.

"Screee!!!!!!!!!!"

Mark's body was jolted up as a thunderous screech shook the forest, and a terrifying aura descended on them. It seemed that he wouldn't be having any time to rest.

"It's a Crowned Eagle!!!" A person screamed as he pointed up in the sky.

Mark looked above, and sure enough. A figure of a bird was surely rushing towards them. It seemed to be very far from them, yet it still didn't seem small. It was definitely going to be the size of a house if it descended.

"What now? That's a Mystic Tier Beast!!" A few people in the group immediately panicked, and the weak willed ones immediately abandoned the group and tried to run away.

Mr. Cool slightly shifted his gaze towards the Armored Vehicle. If there was someone important travelling, then there was no way in hell that they hadn't prepared themselves for this situation.

"Hmph! A bunch of cowards!" A voice rang out, and surprisingly, a figure emerged on the back of the Mystic Beast. This person was wearing a black robe, and had his hair tied into a knot behind. From his face, he seemed to be in his 60s, but his muscular body sure didn't seem to fit that age category.

"Whoosh!" The Crowned Eagle suddenly flapped its wing, and sent out two scythes of wind in the direction of the people who had just ran away.

"Ahhh!!"

Horrifying scream rang out in the distance, and a second later, all the trees in that direction fell in half. They were cleanly sliced from the middle, it was as if there wasn't an inch of resistance from them.

And, to make it clear, these were the trees that grew close to the inner region in Orena. Even Wilson would have to break a sweat if he truly wanted to cut them.

"Whoosh!"

The Crowned Eagle suddenly descended from the sky, and landed right in front of the Armored Vehicle.

A little frown appeared on Wilson's face as he looked at the man. He couldn't feel anything from him. It was obvious that the difference between them was too great.

The man seemed to feel a peculiar gaze too, and turned his head towards Wilson.

Their eyes definitely met, but Wilson didn't pull back.

To be honest, everyone was looking at him. But, most people would definitely look away when their gazes met.

'At least there is someone with a backbone..' The man thought inwardly, before shifting his gaze towards the Armored vehicle.

"I am here at your command, Princess." The man suddenly jumped from the back of the eagle, and slightly bowed his head.

His actions indeed shocked a lot of people around. They had no idea that the person travelling along with them was the Princess.

Most of these people were actually visiting the Demon Territory for the first time. And, were either Demons who were converted from humans or were born and raised in the human world.

"You were late, Vandal." A sweet voice came from the Armored Vehicle.

"I have no excuse, Young highness.." Vandal still was in the same position, and there was no trace of any arrogance on his face like earlier.

"Did the Heaven Tribe delay you? I think they must have refused to activated the Beast Control Mechanism, and then you had to give them a personal visit.." A lady finally emerged from the Armored Vehicle in front of everyone, as she spoke to a man named Vandal.

Most people's eyes immediately widened at her sight.

She was a beauty with dark skin and bright platinum blonde hair. She resembled those Dark Elves from fiction, the only thing that she lacked was pointed ears.

This was Belial, the Demon Princess of Leyak Tribe.

And, it could be considered to be the Demon form of Beli.

"Not bad…" Mr.Cool commented in a light voice.

Mark's heart almost skipped a beat when he heard that. Thankfully, there seemed to be no reaction from the Princess or that man.

"Hmmn? Why are you staring at her like that?" Mark asked as he looked at Wilson. He could understand Mr. Cool. That guy was trash. But, Wilson was someone who was committed to Anna.

"She feels familiar.." Wilson muttered with a little frown on his face.

"Yup, that's how you start to hit on a stranger girl. You know the basics, not bad.." Mr. Cool praised Wilson for his skills.

"Silence....you are not supposed to be attracting attention, morons.." Bayu gave them a glare.

He couldn't believe these idiots! Did they really think they couldn't hear them?

That guy was f*cking Ascensionist!!!

An existence above Supreme!!!

Thank god, that Beli was here. If not, who knows what would have happened.

A few minutes later, Vandal and Beli were done with their talk, and the group once again began to move under his commands.

They soon entered the inner region of Orena. And, everyone was obviously nervous. But, their next encounter with a mana beast shocked them.

It was a Tyrant Tiger Lord.

A Strong Mystic Tier existence known for its territorial nature, and bloodthirstiness.

And, yet this thing just cleared their path, allowing them to leave.

It was at this moment, Mark realized what Bayu meant.
