Sometimes, they even flew in groups. Combined with their flight maneuver, it was apparent that none of the Fire Crows were in a normal state.

So, what was the purpose of this valley?

Was it a simple healing place, or was there something else attracting them?

Having read countless adventure fictions in his previous life and familiar with many plot devices, Feng Yin soon had a hunch that something mysterious was hidden here, something he could exploit.

With such a thought, he naturally decided to sneak towards that direction.

However, after carefully sneaking around for more than an hour, Feng Yin still wasn’t able to locate the entrance.

If he wanted to enter forcefully, he would have to climb to the top of the mountain and fly in like the Fire Crows did…

How could Feng Yin, who had no idea what was inside, take such a risk?

Who knew how many Fire Crows were inside?

If there were indeed thousands of them clustering inside, that would be equivalent to him delivering himself on a silver platter, like a sheep unto a tiger’s mouth.

Feng Yin circled the mountain twice, but still couldn’t figure out a plan. Restlessly, he began to silently ascend the mountain while constantly observing the sky.

In the span of just over an hour, a lot of Fire Crows had indeed arrived in this area.

What attracted Feng Yin’s attention more was that every single one of them was injured.

At present, Feng Yin really didn’t care about how much Fire Essence he could obtain here, or how many Fire Crows he could kill.

What he cared about was, what on earth was there in this valley?

Why did it attract so many injured Fire Crows? This was definitely unusual!

Following the classic adventure novels’ templates, it was likely that this place contained something that could quickly heal the Fire Crows.

This kind of material typically would be a Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure of dreamlike quality, and moreover, in abundant and renewable form. Otherwise, where would all the resources come from to heal so many injured Fire Crows?

Thinking back to the Heavenly Judge’s fight against the Fire Crows, could it be possible that the Crow Emperor set up some treasure here as a safeguard?

This would ensure the Fire Crows have the maximum advantage to win!

This possibility was not only plausible, but also highly likely!

Feng Yin, all the way in zigzags, sneaked in. He kept an eye on the conditions in the sky, especially the Fire Crows flying out from this place.

As expected, Feng Yin soon saw about forty Fire Crows flying out. They moved dramatically different from the injured ones he had observed earlier, obviously healed, at least a lot better, and had regained their combat capabilities.

“The Crow Emperor’s plan is really cunning. This location is so far behind and extremely hidden. If I had attacked with the rest of the troops, I would have bypassed this place and had no chance of witnessing the movement of injured Fire Crows, let alone finding such a concealed location.”

Feng Yin couldn’t help but congratulate himself. Every situation has its pros and cons, just like being behind, which could also have its advantages.

He observed the area carefully while standing beneath a near-top sycamore tree on the mountain peak.

He was calculating in his head the possible number of Fire Crows inside.

Uninjured Fire Crows wouldn’t come this way. From dawn till now, at least a few thousand Fire Crows had landed there. By his observation, for every hundred that entered, about forty came out. If this really was a healing place, then there would surely be more than a thousand Fire Crows inside.

“Among these thousand Fire Crows, some just arrived with severe injuries, while others have partially recovered; and some could fly away at any time. The degree of their injuries varies greatly.”

“Moreover, if there are treasures inside, there will definitely be Fire Crows guarding them, and the number of these guards is likely not small.”

“Even worse, these guardian Fire Crows are likely to be high-grade. It wouldn’t be surprising if some were even at the peak of the hierarchy.”

After estimating the overall power of his adversaries, Feng Yin then evaluated his own combat capabilities.

“Although I am only at Human-Level six ranks, with the help of my sword, and the power of Sky Opening Nine Styles, I should easily overcome enemies three or four ranks higher than me.”

“Assisted by Feng Ying, I should theoretically be able to kill an Earth Level first rank. However, if the enemy is an Earth Level second rank, I will have to start adjusting my expectations. An Earth Level first rank is my limit.”

Feng Yin was considering in his heart.

“But as per the agreement, there shouldn’t be any Fire Crows above Earth Level in this vicinity!”

Feng Yin kept pondering on the possibilities that an Earth Level Fire Crow could appear.

It wasn’t that he was unnecessarily worrying; after all, it was a matter of life and death. No amount of caution would be too much!

“If my conjecture is correct, there’s at least a 90% chance of success…”

The idea sharpened Feng Yin’s look. A 90% success rate, how could he not take the chance!?

If he was afraid to even take such a minor risk, always seeking safety and wanting to become unbeatable without any risk, the possibility was very slight. After all, there are no free lunches in the world.

The phrase “fortune favors the bold” was a timeless truth!

With his mind made up, Feng Yin pushed Feng Ying into his pocket, brought forth his shining sword into hand, the sword without any command, integrated into the body of the sword, was conducive to the operation. It was actively planning its benefits.

Without dallying, he got up and rushed down from the top of the cliff.
