Twenty minutes later, by a river deep in the prairie.

Without mercy, Rhaegar turned the unconscious killer into an ice sculpture, blasted it to pieces with a fireball, and exhaled deeply.

As the killer himself said, he was a small character, so small that he couldn't even reach anyone but his immediate boss and his fellow members of the same group. In their original plan, his mission was to lurk around the squad's camp with a few other people to observe and wait for an opportunity, and if it hadn't happened to meet Willy, he and his companions might still be doing the same thing there.

Of course, there was not much useful information to be gained from such a person's mouth, but Rhaegar still got some hints from the other person's confession. Until then, he had always believed that the opponent's purpose was simply to lead the team into a pre-set ambush, but after interrogating the killer, he suddenly realized that he had probably fallen into a mistake - the opponent could never have set the ambush location so far away, the distance was too long enough for any accidents to happen, and the killer was only ordered to try to lure the would-be tracker away from Hornfest, without giving any clear destination.

A strong uneasiness rose in the back of the spirit's heart, the opponent's plan was beyond his original expectations, the person hiding behind the scenes did not just want to use Willy as bait to let the team fall into the net, he had a deeper plan.

The experience from the God of Judgment made Rhaega understand the other party's intentions after a little thought: while catching the killer, the geist had already discovered that the former had been inflicted a spell that could quickly increase his speed, and under the effect of this spell at the cost of overdrawing his vitality, his speed could even exceed that of acceleration magic, and no one in the entire team could catch up with him except for himself as a mage.

It was clear that the mastermind behind the squad, who was well aware of the squad's strength, wanted the only mage in the squad, to stay away from his companions and divide and conquer the others. In fact, it takes little effort to do this - as long as Willy's safety is a threat, all the warriors can do is to tie their hands down.

At this point, Rhaegar was almost 100% sure that this was his opponent's true plan, and he believed that even if he hadn't caught the killer now, it wouldn't be long before the other party would have used other methods to inform him that his companions had been caught.

Rhaegar was correct in his guess, and a day later, the geist caught a flying eagle swooping towards him, and on the latter's talons, he found a text message addressed to him.

"If you guess what I mean, then you are a clever man, and I am glad to deal with you, and if you don't, I am equally happy, because it means that I will only be dealing with a stupid fool, and I will save a lot of effort—but in any case, when you receive this letter, your companions are already in my hands, and if you want to see them, follow this eagle. ”

Rhaegar looked up at the eagle standing quietly on a rock in front of him, it was clear that it was a letter eagle trained to deliver messages, and at this moment, it was staring at the geist with its yellow eyes, as if waiting for his response.

"Take me to your master. Rhaegar said, knowing that these Faith Eagles often possess a certain amount of Warcraft blood, that they possess intelligence beyond their average kind, and that they can understand simple commands.

The eagle suddenly spread its broad wings and flapped it vigorously, and its body, which was twice the size of an ordinary eagle, rose into the sky, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a small black dot in Rhaegar's naked eye.

The geist knew very well that this was also one of the premeditated plans of the mastermind behind the scenes, in order to catch up with the letter eagle, he had to keep flying at a high speed at all times, and this would undoubtedly consume a lot of his mana, but he had no choice, with a thought, Rhaegard's body quickly flew into the sky and chased in the direction of the letter eagle.

"He's already gone. While Rhaegar was chasing his target, somewhere about a hundred kilometers away, a man dressed in the same outfit as the killer he had captured opened his eyes and said to a mage standing beside him.

The mage nodded silently, he was an old man with gray hair, his expression was serious and gloomy, he seemed to be always thinking about problems, and on his chest, he wore a badge of a seventh-order mage.

"Let your pet direct him to a predetermined route. The mage commanded, as the commander of the operation, to observe the situation of the killer in charge of the bait from afar through a specific magic device, and to proceed with the pre-arranged second step of the plan once the latter was caught.

"I don't understand," said the man in black, after giving instructions to the Eagle in the distance through telepathic induction, "why don't we deal with that little expedition directly, and spend so much trouble? ”

"Never question the leader's decision!" the mage said sternly, then softened himself a little—the man in black was his friend's son and one of his favorite juniors—and decided to take the opportunity to make the other party understand something about the organization.

"Our customers asked to capture them alive," he said, "and then to see these explorers being tortured, you know, as a credible organization, we have to try to meet the terms of every customer." ”

"But it's not an easy task," he paused for a moment, then continued, "Although the information given by our client is not comprehensive, according to our investigation, that mage's strength is far from what the badge he wears suggests - a mage capable of destroying two-headed demon lizards must be at least at the seventh rank or above. ”

"But herein lies the problem. The mage looked at the man in black, who was still confused, and continued to explain, "You can't imagine how much damage a spellcaster of that strength can do when he is desperate, it will devastate our vitality, and the price to pay if we want to catch such an opponent will increase exponentially. These losses may not be much to the organization, and if someone else were in charge of the transaction, they would probably take the approach you described, but for us, it's beyond our reach. No doubt those other leaders would be happy to see that, which is why they have joined forces to get those in charge to decide to send us on this mission. ”

The man in black listened quietly to the old mage's story, his face showing deep awe. Although he had heard of the competition between several big names in the organization who were expected to inherit the position of supreme leader, his rank was not enough for him to know more about it, and the mentorship of this senior undoubtedly gave him the tip of the iceberg. He knew very well that after this, unless he wanted to openly oppose this mage and the leader behind him, he could only classify himself as a mage's faction, as a killer who could drive birds and beasts other than ordinary skills, this choice in the uncertain situation was undoubtedly a dangerous thing - but it also meant opportunity.

"Will our plan succeed?" After a moment of silence, the man in black asked again, "If he is indeed as powerful as you say." ”

"No one can survive defeating those magical beasts," the mage affirmed, "not even a mage at the peak of the seventh order, when he survives those interceptions and appears here exhausted, all we have to do is wait for him to fall." ”

Rhaegar swept across the ground quickly, two fierce wind blades almost grazing the top of his head and flying into the distance, and before he could get up from the ground, a dozen ground thorns drilled out of the ground without warning, stabbing into the body of the geist less than a meter above the ground, and at the same time, a giant eagle at least one person tall fell from the sky, and its steel hook-like claws gripped his back mercilessly.

It is a valley deep in the grasslands, and in this predominantly plain place, its appearance is very abrupt, and the several high mountains around it rise almost entirely from the ground, all the peaks are made of cliffs, and the bare mountains have nothing but rocks. From the outside, these mountains look more like a continuous wall, and apart from the long entrance, which is narrow enough for only one person to pass through, the valley covers at least nearly a thousand square kilometers and is completely cut off from the outside world.

When Rhaegar descended to the middle of the valley with the eagle, in the mind of the geist, he had already regarded this treacherous place as an ambush for the other party, but to his surprise, when he was ready to meet the enemy, it was not the expected killer who attacked him, but a group of angry monsters.

As a mage, Rhaegar was no stranger to the world, especially the civilization in which he lived, and was well aware of some of the famous and dangerous places, and it was at this point that he finally realized where he had entered:

The Valley of the Beast Soul, in the entire western prairie, a place that even the most powerful tribes and the most reckless warriors dare not enter. There are at least two dozen demonic beasts living here, they never take the initiative to attack others, and they never set foot in the confines of the valley, but for anyone who dares to trespass, they will unceremoniously turn it into food for their stomachs, and over the years, countless brave warriors and mages have confirmed the horror of this valley with their own deaths.

No one can tell where it came from, but the Valley of the Beast Soul was already standing on this grassland before the first written histories appeared, and some people say that it was once a place where the gods kept their pets, but as the godless era became more and more familiar, most people scoffed at this statement.

- Only Rhaegar knows that this legend is true.
