Hail the King Chapter 992

Chapter 992: Venturing Deeper into the Endless Sea of Forests (Part One)

Angela smiled and beckoned, and an iron-winged eagle that was flying chaotically in the air due to fear suddenly chirped and flew down. Then, it landed by Angela's side and mumbled; even ordinary people could hear the anxiety in its tone.

The queen talked to the eagle and lightly caressed its back as if she were comforting a child.

Iron-winged eagles were ferocious bird-type demon beasts; their wings were as firm as metal, and they were born with the ability to cast metal-elemental magic spells. With a flutter of their wings, they could shoot out many invisible energy blades that could cut through metal like b.u.t.ter.

However, around Angela, this big, vicious bird was like a child who returned to his mother's embrace. It gradually calmed down and murmured as if it were telling Angela something.

After a while, the smile on Angela's face shined, stealing the light from everything else around her. Then, she patted this eagle's wings.

The iron-winged eagle fluttered its wings and chirped before dashing into the sky and disappearing into the distance.

"It said that deep inside the Endless Sea of Forests, there seems to be a streak of powerful energy that is fast approaching. Both demon beasts and ordinary animals can feel the danger in this energy, and they are anxious and aggressive because of it. They all want to escape," Angela said to Fei.

Queen Angela was born with the ability to communicate with demon beasts and could even command king-level demon beasts like a legion commander.

It was clear that she got this information from talking to the iron-winged eagle.

"A mysterious and powerful force?" Fei grabbed Angela's smooth little hand to show his appreciation, but he quickly thought about potential sources of this force, "Could it be a horrifying G.o.dly demon beast? Not that likely. If that is the case, the demon beasts would have been agitated a long time ago; they wouldn't have waited until now. Could it be that an Undead Creature Catastrophe also happened in the Endless Sea of Forests? And it is spreading this way?"

The tragic scenes where tens of millions of demon beasts died in the border forest between the new Alania Empire and the former Anji Empire appeared in Fei's head again.

However, the king quickly shook his head and rejected this hypothesis.

About half a year ago, to prevent a similar incident from happening in the Endless Sea of Forests, Fei ventured tens of thousands of kilometers into this area and set up many bright magic arrays and magic watchtowers. If the undead energy or anything similar appeared, the king would instantly know about it.

"Except for the battle of masters and the Undead Creature Catastrophe, what else can make the demon beasts in the forests this anxious and fearful?" After thinking for a while, Fei still couldn't get any clues or leads.

Fei thought for a bit more and said, "This incident is not insignificant; I need to venture deep into the Endless Sea of Forests and see what is going on. You guys should head back to Chambord City and tell Mr. Bast and Mr. Brook to increase their guard; the entire city needs to be on alert. If a ma.s.sive Beast Surge does take place, don't fight back; ditch Chambord City and put up a line of defense on the other side of Zuli River. Just wait for my return."

Everyone sensed the seriousness of Fei's words.

Indeed, if a Beast Surge occurred, trying to forcefully fend off the demon beasts would be useless, and it would only increase the casualty count.

"Alexander, let me go with you." Valkyrie Elena suggested caringly.

"It's fine; I can go alone and act accordingly. You should protect Angela and everyone else and accompany them back to Chambord. If a Beast Surge occurs, Chambord will need your protection."

Fei fixed the Valkyrie's few strands of red hair that were fluttering in the northern wind, and he said to her intimately.

Chapter 992: Venturing Deeper into the Endless Sea of Forests (Part Two)

After discussing for a while, Fei told them about all possible events that might occur and how to deal with them. Then, he jumped off Blacky with Little Racc.o.o.n on his shoulder, and he dashed toward the depths of the Endless Sea of Forests.

Blacky and the three hooligan-like dragons wanted to follow Fei, but they were too large and would catch too much attention. Therefore, Fei had to convince them to stay behind.

With Fei's current strength, his speed was insanely fast. After about four hours, he was already 100,000 kilometers deep into the Endless Sea of Forests.

As the king got deeper and deeper into the Endless Sea of Forests, the atmosphere seemed to get more intense.

Not only were the demon beasts and animals anxious and more aggressive, but the plants also emitted a sense of panic as they swayed unnaturally in the wind. Everything seemed to suggest that the end of the world was coming.

In the depths of the Endless Sea of Forests, innumerable demon beasts lived there. Among them, there were many terrifying king-level and even emperor-level demon beasts.

As Fei got deeper in, some terrifying demon beasts detected his existence even though he flew over in the sky.

These anxious demon beasts attacked Fei as if they lost their minds, and some of them were emperor-level demon beasts that reached peak Burning Sun Realm. Even though Fei was powerful, he had to be careful when dealing with the suicidal attacks from these creatures.

In the end, Fei had to give up the option of flying in the air. Instead, he hid his aura and changed to his Druid character. Then, he landed on the ground and moved deeper on foot.

With this method where he was in stealth, it was much harder for emperor-level demon beasts to sense him.

Also, Druids were the natural kings of nature, and they had unparalleled intimacy with plants and animals and could communicate with them.

By talking to them, Fei could avoid the territories of insanely-power demon beasts and might obtain some clues if he were lucky.

According to ancient records and legends, the Endless Sea of Forests existed when the Azeroth Continent was first inhabited. It was made up of many giant, primitive forests, and it hid many secrets with the acc.u.mulation through millions of years. It was heard that no one was able to pa.s.s through the entire Endless Sea of Forests, so no one knew what was on the other side. There could be another world, but nothing could be proven.

Now, Fei was already 150,000 kilometers deep into the Endless Sea of Forests.

It was impossible to see traces of humans in this area. Rarely did humans come to this place in the last 1,000 years; it was an unexplored virgin territory.

When Fei got here, a rotten and moldy smell rushed into his nostrils.

The trees here were all more than 500 meters tall, looking like giant green umbrellas that stood on the ground and covered the sky for creatures living below them.

When looking down from the sky, Fei could only see waves upon waves of greeneries, but the world instantly changed when he landed on the ground. Under the cover of dense branches and leaves, it was hard for sunlight to shine on the ground. The fallen leaves acc.u.mulated on the ground for millions of years, and they continued to rot and turned into many dark swamps. Poisonous gas and miasma filled the air.

The surface of the trees turned blackish-grey as if they had fossilized, and many vines coiled around the giant trees like the most intimate lovers, sharing the nutrients from the trees and getting a bit of the sunlight.

Fei released his spirit energy, and he was surprised to find that the dirty and disgusting swamps were more than 100 meters deep.

Only the giant swamps created by the rotten tree leaves could nurture such enormous, primitive forests. After all, the swamps were full of nutrients that plants needed.

This was the unique ecosystem that the Endless Sea of Forests had.

Tiny mosses grew on the surface of the swamps; they were vibrant and beautiful. At first glance, it seemed like a layer of soft, green rug was laid on the ground, making people want to roll on it.

However, anyone who dared to do that would die.
