Chapter 174: Above the Holy Steps

After completing the exploration task easily again, Yin Yi was in a good mood. Humming an unknown song, relying on the breeze around him, he floated forward quickly in the forest. After a long period of use, Yin Yi has become more and more comfortable with the use of Wind Walk. Moreover, using the effect of the wind spirit's blessing and the development of the wind step special effect, Yin Yi even used an effect similar to the wind magic light body technique.

"Come back, I found that your strength seems to have improved a lot recently?" Yin Yi said to the breeze that suddenly appeared beside him.

"yes, I also suddenly realized that I could do that. The breeze swirled slightly, and Yuan's crisp voice came from it, and it sounded like she was in a good mood today.

"Suddenly, did you Tanuki increase your strength so casually?" Yin Yi complained.

"The others didn't pay much attention, but I did suddenly realize yesterday that I had a much stronger grip on the wind. Now you can keep the elementalized state even if you are not in the high-speed state. Yuan didn't hear what Yin Yi meant, and replied seriously.

"I finally realized how Sock felt when he saw me, and it was really unpleasant to be crushed into slag by someone in terms of pure talent. Yin Yi sighed.

"What's the matter? Did I make you unhappy?" asked after a slight breeze, Yuan showed his figure and looked at Yin Yi.

"No, it's none of your business. This is a cry from the depths of the soul for the injustice of fate. Yin Yi shook his head and said pretending to be profound.

"I don't understand, but you're not unhappy. Yuan blinked, thought for a while, and said.

"By the way, Yuan, how long has it been since we've met an Assassin from the Night Spirit Clan?" Yin Yi asked.

"It's been almost three days, and it's not just the Eidolin Assassin who is gone. Even the scout teams of those three tribes have rarely been encountered recently. Yuan thought for a moment and replied.

"This war is really weird, it's weird everywhere. The three tribes seem to be menacing, but the actual offensive is thunder and rain. The so-called reconnaissance team, except for the leader of the Eiling Clan assassin with murderous intent, the others directly chose to retreat when they saw that the leader was killed, completely ignoring the so-called comradeship. And these days are even more exaggerated, the intention of the march has become more and more obvious, not to mention, not even the most basic protective measures have been taken. Although this was my first time in a war, I knew that it didn't feel like a victory at all. In that case, then why did they take the initiative to provoke a war?" Yin Yi said to Yuan beside him as he floated forward.

"Isn't that right? Your task is much easier, and you don't have to face danger all the time. Yuan said.

"You don't understand what I mean, this war is very abnormal, and I am worried if the other side has some other purpose. By the way, when you went to see Shen Xi these few times, did she say anything special?Didn't she notice the problem here?" Yin Yi asked.

"No, it's the same as before. Don't you always say that she's very powerful? Since she is so powerful and she hasn't noticed anything abnormal, it means that there must be nothing. Why are you so worried? Besides, you're not here to practice, just take care of your own business. Yuan said with some displeasure.

"Eh, Shen Xi is messing with you again?" Yin Yi asked a little speechlessly.

"Hmph, she always says weird things, and I don't like it. Yuan replied.

"Well, then don't mention her... , by the way, your strength has improved, has your perception also improved a lot?" Yin Yi changed the subject.

"I guess, I haven't tried it yet. Yuan said with some uncertainty.

"Just give it a try now, and see if you can sense Senior Brother Tanas by the way. The more I think about this incident, the more I feel that it has something to do with him. If that's what I thought he was, then he should be around here right now. Yin Yi said to Yuan.

"Good. Yuan nodded, paused and began to concentrate on perceiving with all his might.

At the moment when Yuan closed his eyes, Yin Yi felt a palpitating fluctuation spread out from Yuan as the center.

"Huh?" About five miles away from Yin Yi and them, an elderly looking Nereiton Clan figure emerged from the shadows and looked ahead with a solemn expression.

"Patriarch, that fluctuation just now won't be... Then four more Eidolins who were a little younger also appeared in the shadows, and one of them, who seemed to be the leader, walked up to the older Eidolon and asked in a slightly puzzled whisper.

"That's right, that should be the momentum exuded by a powerhouse above the Holy Rank. The Eidolin patriarch nodded and said slowly.

"It seems that that rumor is not wrong, and powerhouses above the Holy Rank have begun to appear on this continent again. But how could a powerhouse of that level appear here, and there was no mention of this in the intelligence on the Xu side. The Neemin who had asked him before continued.

"Hmph, don't mention those guys. If it weren't for them, our clan would have lost nearly twenty adult clansmen in just a dozen days. Now it seems that their performance in this war is really weird. I wonder if they are uniting with these outsiders to deliberately murder our people. The Eidolin patriarch said through some gritted teeth.

"What should we do now, patriarch?" there didn't seem to be much hostility in the strong man's aura, but it felt like he was searching for something. The Eidolin said.

"The lack of hostility can only mean that this is a strong man with a gentle personality. But from a positional point of view, it's clear that he's with what we're aiming for. And such an undisguised display of momentum should be a warning to us. If we don't know how to move on, no matter how good the other person's personality is, we will take action against us. The Eidolin patriarch speculated.

"And we're going to retreat to the clan now?" the clansman asked.

"Let's not hurry back to the clan first. In this way, Zack, you go back alone to gather the clansmen, and I will wait for you with the others at Xu Bu, and we must ask them for an explanation of this matter. The Eidolin Patriarch thought for a moment and said.

"How is it, have you sensed the traces of Senior Brother Tanas?" Seeing Yuan open his eyes, Yin Yi asked.

"No, but I found five Eidolin Assassins over there. Yuan replied, pointing to the front right.

"What? Five Assassins of the Spirit Clan!What's going on?" Yin Yi was first shocked when he heard this, five Assassins of the Spirit Clan, even if they were just ordinary Saint Ranks, he couldn't deal with them at the same time. But then he found that although Yuan frowned, there was no panic on his face, so he relaxed and asked about the specific situation.

"About five miles from there, five Eidolin Assassins are coming towards us. But for some reason, I suddenly turned around and went back. Yuan said.

"Perhaps they found themselves being perceived and decided to abandon the operation for the time being. After all, ordinary assassins, after being perceived, lost most of their strength. And the momentum you just had was so conspicuous that it was hard not to be discovered. Yin Yi guessed.

"I just felt a lot more power, and I couldn't control it at will... Yuan said a little aggrieved.

"Haha, it's okay. Sudden increase in strength, there is always a process of adaptation. And this is just right, if you hadn't scared them away, then this time the two of us would have started to run for our lives. Five Saint-Rank Assassins, I can't deal with them. Seeing this, Yin Yi smiled and comforted Yuan.
