Chapter 520 - 215: Valley of Death, Heaven and Earth’s Favored
Originally, Yi Tian was still considering sitting for a while in Qin Fanshuang’s territory after taking down the Wind Beast!
But right now, searching for the Wind Beast is the main priority.
After Second Child’s Thousand-Mile Eye got a major upgrade, the chance of finding the Autumn Beast increased.
Little Black could flap its wings a few times and fly out of Zone 66 almost instantly.
Looking at the map, Zone 56 is north of Zone 66.
Yi Tian decided to search Zone 56 first, and if there’s nothing, then loop back to search Zone 65 west of Zone 66 and Zone 67 east of Zone 66.
Inside the Sunset Mountain Range, there aren’t many top-level intelligent lives.
The name "Sunset" comes from the meaning of scarce resources.
For centuries, the Indigenous People have heard plenty of legends about the Sunset Mountain Range, but no one’s found any earth-shattering treasures. The treasure of the Profound Robe King was the most incredible find in recent years, but it was snatched up by a Lord.
The people who come here—besides adventurers trying to search for treasure and bounty hunters seeking Heavenly and Earthly Treasures—are basically just Indigenous People hunting fierce beasts.
In the vast Sunset Mountain Range, there are only a few small tribes and the tiny city of Flying Dragon City, which shows how remote the place is.
Yi Tian finding Silver Wood Gold Tea and the Thousand-Weight Stone Vein in the Sunset Mountain Range was pure luck, a mark of good fortune.
After a full hour of flying, Little Black was having a blast—it really loves this kind of openness.
Of course, it’d be even happier if Fourth Child wasn’t playing with fire on its back.
After an hour darting around Zone 56, there was no sign of the Withered Beast.
It’s impossible to scan the entire zone in just an hour, so Yi Tian started searching the high mountains and dangerous places on the Dagu Realm’s Sunset Mountain Range map.
Yi Tian went to the spot Qin Fanshuang pointed out—it’s an extremely perilous area, with seven-thousand-meter peaks, endless ravines, and barren land.
Yi Tian could only rely on this clue to keep looking.
Nothing in Zone 56, and Yi Tian didn’t plan to go north to Zone 46.
He instructed the Eastsea Falcon to head to Zone 65.
And then—another three hours straight...
Zone 65 and Zone 67—both left in disappointment.
Looks like it’s not around Zone 66 after all.
"Should I try asking for clues in the region channel?"
If you go through each zone one by one, back and forth, there’s just not enough time.
But if you ask in the region chat, once the Indigenous People get wind of it from their informers, they’ll swarm in like cats smelling fish, zeroing in on your coordinates.
By now, it’s dusk, which doesn’t affect Second Child’s vision.
But once it’s nighttime, the kiddos’ spirits aren’t as good.
"Judging by the Spring Beast and Summer Beast, the Celestial Beasts have a really strong sense of crisis. They know who they can beat and who they can’t. With my power upgraded, it must have sensed danger and left its original lair."
"If that’s the case, searching will be way harder!"
Being stronger is a good thing, but when it comes to hunting Celestial Beasts, it’s not so helpful.
So, what’s the difference from looking for a Withered Beast you’ve never met?
The Autumn Beast is listed in the special auction zone, with Lords making a big deal out of it.
They talk up how powerful it is, describe its appearance—clearly, some Lords have managed to find the Autumn Beast.
But the Withered Beast has never been mentioned by any Lord throughout the entire special auction zone.
It’s as if only the plague exists, but not the Withered Beast!
"Forget it, I’ll ask in the regional channel and see if any Lords have clues."
But Yi Tian isn’t an idiot—the enemy’s got tricks, but he’s got skills of his own.
The Heavenless Bead is Yi Tian’s ticket to survival!
Region channel.
"Brothers and sisters in the region channel, does anyone have any info on the Autumn Beast? If a Lord provides a clue and I find the Autumn Beast, I’ll happily pay five B-level Pills when I get back. Also, don’t mess with me just ’cause I’m honest—don’t try bullshitting me. I’ve got dozens of top-level Mist Scrolls to offer!" Yi Tian posts a message in the partition channel.
"Yi Tian big-shot wants to rid the world of evil and save us from our misery."
"Hurry, hurry! If anyone knows anything about the Autumn Beast, tell Yi Tian big-shot right now! Don’t want to see any more sandstorms!"
"I remember Zone 66 had reports of the Autumn Beast."
"Autumn Beast is gone from Zone 66 now. According to the Lord who spotted it, within dozens of kilometers of its location—day or night—the wind howls and sand flies. If you have info, add me as friend." Earth Human Race Yi Tian.
Everywhere the Autumn Beast goes, there’s wild wind and flying sand—the only warning given to the Indigenous People by the Celestial Dao Rules.
It’s also why Lords are able to track down the Autumn Beast!
Lords from Zone 10086 all forwarded Yi Tian’s words to the partition channel and group chats.
"Yi Tian, have you come near my territory?" Qin Fanshuang asks Yi Tian.
"I thought the Autumn Beast was still with you, wanted to slay it and then swing by for a visit. Turns out the Autumn Beast’s gone, and I’m already in Zone 68." Yi Tian replies to Qin Fanshuang.
"Sorry! It definitely was here ten days ago." Qin Fanshuang says apologetically, a little disappointed inside.
"No worries, Celestial Beasts are always elusive—I expected as much. There’s plenty of time!" Yi Tian says casually.
"I heard the Autumn Beast’s crazy strong—even tougher than the Summer and Autumn Beasts put together. Be careful!" Qin Fanshuang says, concerned for Yi Tian.
"I’m completely confident I can handle the Autumn Beast now! As for you, if the Indigenous People attack again and you’re in danger, just reach out. I’ve got a treasure I’ll lend you—guaranteed to wipe out any enemy attacking you."
Yi Tian has both the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle and the Spirit Sword Box—way better than what the mercs provide.
"Thanks, but no need! I still haven’t used that Scorpion Bead you gave me!" Qin Fanshuang recalls end-of-last-month, when he gave "Wealthiest in the World" the C-level Battle Armor, her cheeks flushing lightly.
