Chapter 489: Chapter 490 Blood River Ancestor

"Holy shit, Prince Beixia, is that really you!"

"You’re actually still alive, how on earth is this possible?" Zhou Tai and the Three Serpents Elder both revealed expressions of disbelief.

Ye Wudao leaped down from the Crazy Wind Eagle King and laughed, "Uncle Zhou, Uncle Serpent, let me introduce you to my new mount, the Crazy Wind Eagle King!"

Roar!

The Crazy Wind Eagle King was extremely arrogant, roaring angrily at the two men.

Bang!

Ye Wudao slapped the Crazy Wind Eagle King’s head hard, "Bald eagle, don’t get cocky!"

"Yes, Master!" The Crazy Wind Eagle King lowered its head submissively in front of Ye Wudao.

Holy shit!

Zhou Tai and the Three Serpents Elder both took a sharp breath of cold air, as if struck by lightning, and it took them a while to recover.

"Prince Beixia has actually tamed the king of Crazy Wind Valley, the Crazy Wind Eagle King as a mount!"

"This is freaking insane!"

Ye Wudao briefly explained what had happened to them, and once Zhou Tai and the other learned that Ye Wudao had swallowed the Crazy Wind Grass, they were sincerely happy for Ye Wudao.

"Prince Beixia, let’s set off quickly, many people have already reached the third area of the ancient battlefield, and some have even gone to the fourth area!" Zhou Tai said.

"Yeah, we’re falling behind; we need to hurry!" the Three Serpents Elder urged.

Ye Wudao jumped onto the back of the Crazy Wind Eagle King, "Uncle Zhou, Uncle Serpent, why don’t you come up as well?"

Upon seeing this, both men showed excited expressions and quickly stood on the Crazy Wind Eagle King’s back.

"I never thought we’d be able to ride the Crazy Wind Eagle King!"

"Haha, it’s all thanks to Prince Beixia’s good fortune!" the two men laughed.

"Bald eagle, let’s go!" Ye Wudao urged.

Whoosh!

The Crazy Wind Eagle King spread its wings wide, and in the blink of an eye, it had disappeared from its original spot.

"Holy shit, that’s fast!"

"This is the high-speed Crazy Wind Eagle King; it’s too quick!" the Three Serpents Elder screamed.

"Haha, with our current speed, it won’t take long to reach the fourth area. What does it matter if those people were faster than us? They’ll still be left behind!" Zhou Tai laughed.

The Crazy Wind Eagle King soared through the sky, and in no time at all, it had crossed the third area.

During this time, other martial artists also spotted the Crazy Wind Eagle King in the sky.

"It’s the Crazy Wind Eagle King!"

"Eh, why do I see people standing on the Crazy Wind Eagle King?"

"How is that possible, the Crazy Wind Eagle King is a Seventh Grade battle king level fierce beast, and it’s incredibly fast. To tame such a beast king, you’d need to be at least Ninth Grade, or even a peak battle king powerhouse!" people discussed incredulously.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Wudao and his party arrived at the critical point between the third and the fourth areas of the ancient battlefield.

"I didn’t think we would cross the third area and reach the fourth area so quickly!" the Three Serpents Elder said with a smile.

"Indeed!" Zhou Tai nodded.

Ye Wudao looked ahead and saw a broad river dozens of miles away. The water was actually blood-red, like fresh blood, emanating a thick aura of killing intent!

"Eh, what’s that?" Ye Wudao asked curiously.

"That’s the Blood River..." Zhou Tai said with a grave look, "The Blood River is made from the blood of countless people who have died in the ancient battlefield!"

"Sss, a river made from blood, how many people must have died?" Ye Wudao asked in shock.

Zhou Tai slowly raised a finger, "One million people!"

Hiss!

Ye Wudao gasped in astonishment!

His gaze fixed on the Blood River, where he detected terrifying dangers lurking within.

San She shifu (Three Snakes Master) beside him added, "Old Zhou is right, numerous mutated beasts thrive in the Blood River, and even an Eighth Grade War King could fall if not careful!"

"Look, someone is crossing the river!" Zhou Tai exclaimed, pointing ahead.

Ye Wudao immediately focused his sight and saw many Martial Artists traversing the Blood River. Suddenly, a blood-red python dozens of meters long sprang out and devoured scores of Martial Artists in one bite.

"Run for your lives!"

"It’s a blood python!"

Many of the Martial Artists crossing the river scattered in terror, and the Blood River turned into a veritable hell.

San She shifu (Three Snakes Master) beside him let out a sigh of relief and said, "Thank goodness we have the Crazy Wind Eagle King to fly us directly over the Blood River!"

A smile also appeared on Ye Wudao’s face.

Only Zhou Tai’s gaze became incredibly solemn as he said, "The appearance of the blood python is an ominous sign; the Blood River Ancestor rumored to be present might awaken! Hurry, let’s cross quickly!"

"The Blood River Ancestor?" Ye Wudao asked curiously.

"The Blood River Ancestor is a terrifying entity that wanders the Blood River year-round and likes to collect a toll for crossing," Zhou Tai explained.

"A toll, just give it to him!" Ye Wudao laughed.

"The toll it demands is the Martial Artists’ vital blood!" Zhou Tai said, his gaze intense.

"What?" Ye Wudao’s expression changed and he quickly urged, "Bald eagle, fly!"

Whoosh!

The Crazy Wind Eagle King spread its wings and flew toward the Blood River in an instant.

Suddenly, a dreadful voice echoed above the Blood River, "Heh heh, guests from all around, those who wish to cross my Blood River must pay the toll!"

"Who’s speaking?" San She shifu (Three Snakes Master) asked curiously.

Ye Wudao followed the voice and saw, amidst the raging waves of the Blood River, a flatboat suddenly appeared, with an old man dressed in blood-colored straw raincoat standing on it, ferrying across, emitting a strange and powerful aura.

"Look, there’s someone on the Blood River!" Ye Wudao quickly pointed at the river.

"It’s over, the Blood River Ancestor!" Zhou Tai’s pupils shrank, and his face turned pale.

"Our luck couldn’t be worse to have encountered the Blood River Ancestor!" San She shifu (Three Snakes Master) trembled all over.

The Blood River Ancestor, propelling the flatboat, looked at the many panic-stricken Martial Artists on the Blood River and spoke indifferently, "To cross the river, you must pay a drop of your vital blood; no credit is allowed!"

Many Martial Artists also recognized the identity of the ferryman and uttered in horror, "Hiss, that’s the Blood River Ancestor from the rumors!"

"If we don’t surrender our vital blood, we’ll die!"

"We’ll pay!"

"Don’t kill us, we’ll pay!" Many Martial Artists offered up a drop of their vital blood, deeply afraid of angering the Blood River Ancestor.

After collecting the vital blood, the Blood River Ancestor nodded slightly, signaling the nearby blood python to let them pass.

True to his word, the blood python no longer obstructed their way, its cold snake eyes watching as these Martial Artists fled the Blood River.

"Lord Shaobei, let’s get out of here!" Zhou Tai urged.

"Bald eagle, fly!" Ye Wudao commanded urgently.

Whoosh!

The Crazy Wind Eagle King flew with extreme speed, about to cross the Blood River.

Just at this moment, the hoarse and low voice of the Blood River Ancestor resounded, "Hehe, three friends in the sky, it’s time to pay the toll!"
