The Wicked Female Is Wild and Scheming, Living in a Love Battlefield Every Day-Chapter 287 - 244: Sky-mist Canyon

Mael Valerius’s eyebrows knitted into a knot; he was never good at comforting people, especially at times like this.

But he still stepped forward and patted Kian Sterling on the shoulder: "My condolences."

Finn Arcanus also said in a low voice, "Third Prince, The Old Beast King passed away peacefully, don’t be too sad."

Kian suddenly turned his head to look at Mael Valerius, his black hair cascading over his shoulders, and those fox-like eyes that always held a smile were now entirely red, full of complex emotions.

The vengeance for the severed tail should have made him resentful, but at this moment he felt no hostility at all.

"You..."

His voice was hoarse, as if he wanted to say something.

Suddenly he turned to look at the place where Chloe Callahan had been lying, finding it empty; his gaze turned cold: "Where is that vile woman?"

"She was here just now."

Mael Valerius frowned and scanned the grand hall, but couldn’t find Chloe Callahan’s figure: "Maybe she slipped away while we weren’t paying attention."

The doors of the hall swung wide open, and the night wind surged in, carrying the scent of blood.

Kian’s ten fox tails flared open behind him, like a peacock spreading its feathers, his voice icy: "Order a city-wide hunt!"

The Old Beast King had passed on his position before dying, and Kian was the new Beast King. His order was one that no one dared to disobey, and soon people outside the hall went to execute it.

The entire Beast King City was set into motion, starting a hunt for Chloe Callahan’s figure.

No one knew that Chloe Callahan had already crushed the Teleportation Talisman and transported to another place.

Inside the Beast King Hall.

"Third Prince."

Finn Arcanus stepped forward, "Miss Cynthia asked me to tell you that The Wolf Tribe is moving to Sky-mist Canyon, and asks you to join them there afterwards. Also—"

He looked at Mael Valerius, "The Phoenix Clan sent Rhea to take your Heart Blood."

"Courting death."

A glint of murderous intent flashed in Mael Valerius’s dark golden eyes.

But he couldn’t help thinking: Why does the Phoenix Clan want his Heart Blood for no reason?

Since Luna had sent someone to deliver the message, it must be true.

Kian wiped away the blood The Old Beast King had spat onto his hand and suddenly cupped his hands toward Mael Valerius: "Previously... thank you."

Mael Valerius raised an eyebrow: "No longer angry about me severing your tail?"

"One thing doesn’t affect another."

Kian retracted his fox tails and turned to arrange his father’s affairs, "I’ll go take care of my father’s posthumous affairs, you are free to do as you please."

Finn Arcanus also said, "I have to hurry to Sky-mist Canyon; the Phoenix Clan might come attacking any time."

"I’ll go with you, come on."

Mael Valerius transformed into a dragon and flew out of the Beast King Hall, sweeping Finn Arcanus onto his back with his Dragon Tail and flew away.

......

The first ray of morning sunlight passed through the dense treetops, dappling the winding mountain path.

After a night’s journey, The Wolf Tribe’s party finally arrived at the mysterious and unfathomable Sky-mist Canyon by morning.

The morning mist hung like gauze, enveloping two towering cliffs whose peaks reached into the clouds, and the entrance to the canyon was so narrow that only three people could walk side by side.

The moist fog carried the scent of decaying vegetation, and in the depths, an eerie "gurgling" sound could be faintly heard, as if some giant beast were swallowing its saliva.

"Everyone be careful, the miasma here is poisonous."

Rhys Blackwood walked at the front of the line, leading the way, and loudly reminded everyone.

Corbin Crowley pouted and smiled dismissively: "What’s there to fear about poison, this bit of miasma is nothing."

Even so, he obediently took the Detoxification Herbs distributed by the witch doctor.

After all, no one wants to gamble with their life.

Except for Corbin Crowley, who accidentally swallowed a golden pearl earlier, gaining an invulnerable body.

The entire Wolf Tribe, regardless of age and gender, all ate the Detoxification Herbs distributed by the witch doctor.

The witch doctor looked at the now-empty Beast Skin Bag and shook his head regretfully: "Fortunately, the old man prepared enough Detoxification Herbs, otherwise it wouldn’t have been enough."

Long before the tribe decided to migrate to the miasma-filled Sky-mist Canyon, he had been searching through mountains and fields for Detoxification Herbs, and now they were finally put to use.

The group slowly advanced into the canyon, and the mist grew thicker until visibility was less than five steps.

The women supported each other, grumbling incessantly—

"This godforsaken place, you can’t even see the path, how can anyone live here?"

Maya Miller stepped into a mud pit, her brand-new deerskin boots caked with sticky mud, impossible to shake off, her face turning several shades darker in anger, "My boots!"

The female next to her rolled her eyes: "Worrying about boots when your life is at risk? Just wait until those featherless brutes from Aetheria catch up and burn us alive, then you’ll see."

"Exactly!"

The elderly female, leaning on a wooden staff, took staggered steps, "The leader said that this miasma can mask our scent. Those featherless beasts from The Phoenix Clan of Aetheria will never find us!"

Luna Sutton, carrying three wolf pups, walked in the middle of the queue, suddenly hearing a soft "crack" from above.

"Watch out!"

Beside her, Malachi Arcanus sharply pulled her aside.

"Boom!" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

A chunk of rotten giant wood crashed onto the spot where she had just stood, splashing dirt and mud onto Maya Miller, covering her entirely.
