Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor-Chapter 807 - 300: The Sinister Path

Second Prince Li Shao pointed at someone and ordered him to pass through the "Sea and Sky."

The wind element sky mage named Wang Cheng had the most agile movement technique among the group.

Wang Cheng braced himself, pressed his hands against the mountain wall, and walked forward step by step.

Every step he took was very cautious.

In about a mile’s journey, everything was normal.

"The rest, follow one by one," Li Shao saw this and walked in the middle, letting others follow in single file. As Li Shao and others just moved a few steps forward, they heard a scream from ahead. They looked up to see that the magic wand in Wang Cheng’s hand was blown away by the wind. He lost his footing, as if possessed, falling off the mountain path.

As he fell, he didn’t even use basic protective magic, dropping like a fallen leaf.

He hit and pierced a rock pillar, looking truly terrifying.

As soon as Wang Cheng fell, three or four others at the front seemed to be similarly cursed, falling off the cliff as well, dying brutally.

Li Shao looked, his liver and gallbladder seemed to shatter, almost losing his footing.

"Retreat, everyone retreat," one Wang Cheng could be explained, but consecutively three or four people, whether mages or martial artists, all died the same way.

Li Shao was equally terrified, panicking, ordering everyone to fall back.

After retreating, everyone’s face was pale.

"Second Prince, we’ve already lost four people," Ke Ling, with a pale face, counted the numbers.

Out of twenty people, four had died without even entering the ruins; truly an unpropitious start.

"What bad luck, I should have let other factions go first," Li Shao barely managed to stabilize his spirit.

"Second Prince, something seems strange, just reaching the path made my mind blank, and I couldn’t remember any magic," a mage shivered.

Others also nodded in agreement, saying that when they advanced to the path, they felt dazed and confused.

While Li Shao and others were anxious and didn’t know what to do, following closely behind Li Shao were those from Dihong City and the Summoning Court who also arrived.

"Second Prince, why haven’t you proceeded?" a summoner from the Summoning Court stepped forward.

"That mountain path is impassable," Li Shao still hadn’t recovered from the earlier incident, looking panicked, losing all the usual grace and ease.

"Ha, they say the mages of Tang Yuan are formidable, but seeing it today, it’s nothing much. Can’t even pass a small path. Guess we’ll go first," mocked the people from the Summoning Court.

Despite the words, Tang Yuan’s experience did make the Summoning Court cautious.

After a discussion, they decided to adopt a safer method.

A summoner began chanting.

A summoning array glowing with magical light appeared, and soon an Eighth Rank White-headed Eagle flew out from it.

This White-headed Eagle, often found in frigid mountains, could withstand the bitter cold winds and had a strong sense of direction, accommodating two to three riders at a time. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

It turned out the Summoning Court had prepared well for this journey. Among these mages, several owned medium-sized flying magical beasts.

Looking for a divine artifact, encountering these summoners with flying magical beasts was the unluckiest thing possible, Li Shao cursed in his mind.

The White-headed Eagle circled in the air a few times and then landed smoothly.

Owning flying magical beasts truly provided a natural advantage when traversing such dangerous paths.

Once the White-headed Eagle appeared, two summoners mounted it one after the other.

The two people and the eagle flew towards the Sea and Sky.

The sea wind was still fierce, but like a small aircraft, the White-headed Eagle unfolded its giant wings, two meters long, cutting through the wind and gliding hundreds of meters away.

Tang Yuan and others looked on with envy and jealousy.

Li Shao wished at this moment that they too had brought several flying magical beasts.

But even having them wouldn’t be enough without summoners to control them; everything would be in vain.

However, only the Summoning Court and their allies from Dihong City could use such methods to pass through the Sea and Sky. Soon, other factions, like Tang Yuan, would be stuck outside the Sea and Sky.

This time, the divine artifact would likely fall into the hands of the Summoning Court.

The faces of the Summoning Court and Dihong City members were filled with pride.

But suddenly, misfortune turned to tragedy. The White-headed Eagle, flying well in the sky, let out a mournful cry, suddenly changing direction and crashing into the mountain wall.

"Ah!"

The two summoners riding on the White-headed Eagle were caught off guard, falling with the eagle into the furious waves of the deep sea.

Two more dead.

The Summoning Court and Dihong City members were speechless for a time.

No one dared to say more, and no one tried to venture through the Sea and Sky again.

When the Mainland Magic Elite Camp and the Hou Qin people arrived at the Sea and Sky, they thought other factions had already passed through, only to find everyone still waiting there.

"Looks like we all might as well go back; if we can’t even pass this path, how can we talk about entering the Taoyuan Ruins," Cheng Bai and others arrived as the fourth group.

Before them, Huo Yu and others had also arrived.

Huo Yu, not willing to trust the words of the Human Clan, sent an Elf Archer to scout the way. The result was the same as the earlier incidents with Tang Yuan and the Magic Temple; the Elf Archer went mad halfway, nearly falling into the sea.

Fortunately, Huo Yu was quick-eyed and quick-handed, pulling him back at the last moment, saving the Elf Archer’s life.

The Elf Archer’s life was spared, but after being rescued, he was in a delirious state, speaking nonsense.

Even Huo Yu was at a loss.

Once Cheng Bai and others arrived, they simply did not attempt anymore.

For the moment, the situation was at a stalemate. Although no faction could pass the Sea and Sky, none would descend the mountain.

Yun Sheng and others arrived to find exactly this scene.

Lan and Dugu Xiu inquired but had no plan either.

By this time, night had fallen, and no one wanted to go down the mountain.

After some discussion, they decided to camp at the entrance to the Sea and Sky for the night, like the other factions.

That night, over a hundred people set up their encampments.

The wind by the sea was strong, the waves ceaseless, and not a single person rested well.

The next day brought another day without any progress.

The Summoning Court summoned another flying summoning beast, this time a small Cloud Sparrow.

In full view, the Cloud Sparrow flew and then also started screeching, diving headlong into the raging waves below.

"This is not going well," the Summoning Court members could no longer hold their composure.

These summoners, usually proud, relied heavily on their beasts. Compared to mages and martial artists, their real strength was somewhat inferior.

Seeing they couldn’t break through the Sea and Sky, the Summoning Court members descended the mountain in the afternoon.

Seeing their allies leave, the Dihong City members couldn’t hold back, following them down the mountain.
