Chapter 362: Chapter 362: Eagle Beak Valley

"We just left like that, I guess the old leader is probably in greater danger than safety,"

She discreetly observed the man’s eyes, trying to discern some emotion.

Yet, he looked back at her gently with a mocking gaze.

"If you want to ask something, just say it."

Jhiang Yuan looked at this man, always feeling that he could see right through people’s hearts, which made her feel particularly insecure.

"Weren’t you saying your old leader was good to you, and you even sent Little One to accompany him?

Why didn’t you mention him afterward?"

Thereupon, it was better to just tell the truth.

"Because it was him!"

"What?"

Jhiang Yuan was somewhat puzzled, it was him, what’s wrong with that?

She immediately realized what it implied.

"No way, it was him who betrayed you..."

Song Yi nodded, giving her a look that said, ’you figure it out.’

Jhiang Yuan was completely baffled; at this moment, there were quite a few people around.

Some things were indeed inconvenient to say.

But, how could it be the old leader?

She had suspected before, but after Song Yi mentioned Young Commander, she thought it was that person.

Moreover, he had sent Little One to ensure his safety.

Yet she hadn’t expected that he was actually the main culprit.

That day, he righteously chastised his son, and Jhiang Yuan almost applauded him.

She really couldn’t understand how he could...

Then he sent Little One there, and he also discovered his senior sister’s belongings, so Song Yi had planned it all?

The old leader was disguising himself, and he was disguising himself too, and in the end, it was all about who could deceive whom.

With such a big incident happening there, he had luckily escaped.

In both sentiment and reason, leaving at this time also made sense.

So, he had achieved his goal without alarming anyone.

This man, his schemes are deep indeed!

Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but glance his way.

She shivered instantly, this person had been enduring silently, knew about her space, and yet asked nothing.

Then he definitely knew other secrets too, how terrifying!

Jhiang Yuan quickly ran to Qin Yue’s side; this man was too dangerous, it was better to keep a distance.

Song Yi, still unaware of what happened, had already made her wary.

Fortunately, there were no incidents in the latter part of the night.

On the mountain, the day broke even later.

But, everyone got up at six in the morning.

Only one day left, no time to waste.

After getting up, everyone quickly ate something, got ready, and set off.

Jhiang Xingzhi carried Xiao Nuan, Jhiang Yuan was responsible for pulling Qin Yue, and Ye Mianmian walked by herself.

Her arm was injured, but walking and such were not a problem; she just needed to follow and not fall behind.

Everyone carried torches, the path ahead was dim, filled with plenty of ice and thorns, and was difficult to traverse.

Chuyi said, usually, it wouldn’t be fully bright until around nine o’clock.

They must reach a place called "Eagle Beak Valley" before dawn.

No one dared to be careless, moving laboriously, sometimes stepping deep, sometimes shallow.

Fortunately, it was safe along the way.

Finally, in the nick of time, they reached their destination.

This "Eagle Beak Valley" was a valley, named after its resemblance to an eagle’s beak.

Both sides were lined with very high mountains, high enough to cover everything inside.

Thus, the ice and snow inside looked even thicker.

Today’s wind was weaker, and with the dense woods, it was basically around level four or five.

"Chuyi, take a look, is this the place?"

"Yes, let’s hurry!"

He led his sister and set off first.

The people who wanted to rest naturally didn’t have anything more to say.

If the children weren’t being fussy, who were the adults to complain about being tired?

Eagle Beak Valley looked flat, all gentle slopes.

But it was vast, a whole different world once inside.

On the way, there were even gray rabbits darting back and forth.

"Brother Song, let’s catch one to eat!"

Zhang Kaiyang was feeling peckish, he knew Song Yi was accurate with his hands, so he came over to plead with him.

"Now is not the time, keep moving."

"Yes, brother, now isn’t the time, don’t rush it.

Moreover, it’s strange enough that the rabbits are still alive in this weather, maybe it’s one that’s turned into a spirit."

Lu Er had been following behind Song Yi, and now naturally joined the conversation.

"Why are you talking like that as well?"

"I’m not being superstitious, it’s genuinely odd, don’t you think?"

Indeed, reminded by him, it was truly strange.

"Don’t overthink it, it’s normally darker here.

The animals living in this valley are more cold-resistant than those in other places, that’s normal."

Song Yi didn’t want to delve deeper into it, hastening their pace was crucial.

They hadn’t even covered half the distance yet, and almost an hour had already passed.

Eagle Beak Valley was indeed massive.

Jhiang Yuan was feeling uncertain, was this shortcut really the right choice?

If it didn’t work out, they wouldn’t have time to turn back.

By around noon, they finally reached the deepest part of the valley.

"Brother, we need to pass through here.

Look, it’s all cliffs, do you dare to cross?"

Jhiang Yuan also looked over, and boy, it was truly frightening.

This path was adjacent to Eagle Beak Valley, below was an abyss, the bottom of which was completely out of sight.

Next to the mountain peak, there was an incredibly narrow path, clinging to the mountainside as if it had been embedded there.

The stone planks were extremely narrow but surprisingly flat.

If it wasn’t for being naturally formed, she would’ve suspected it to be man-made, marveling at the wonders of nature.

The path was manageable at first, about fifty centimeters wide, enough to walk normally.

But, the further they went, the more difficult it became, some areas even narrowing down to twenty centimeters.

One needed to be physically agile and mentally strong to cross,

since a fall would mean there wasn’t a chance of surviving.

Jhiang Xingzhi also found it quite challenging, and Zhang Kaiyang was even angrier, directly grabbing Chuyi by the collar as soon as he approached.

"Are you messing with us, huh?"

"Who’s messing with you? If you’re scared, just say it straight, wuss~"

"You..."

"Kaiyang, stop the ruckus, we’re pressed for time, just listen to Chuyi."

Song Yi’s words gave him confidence, and he spat defiantly at Zhang Kaiyang.

Jhiang Yuan hurriedly pulled him back, preventing a conflict just in time.

Chuyi took the lead and crossed first, followed by Chuliu.

Although the path was narrow, there was no snow or ice on it, which was somewhat relieving.

Song Yi instructed everyone to keep their backpacks in front and discard any heavy items, then to walk sideways, leaning against the mountain.

Their hands were leaned back for added safety.

"Jhiang Yuan, follow me later."

"No need, I want to be last, to hold the rear!"

With that, she even winked at Song Yi.

He was worried; those were real cliffs after all!

"Don’t worry, there won’t be any problem. Take good care of yourself and look after the two children.

I’ll be right behind you, catching up in no time."
