Chapter 108: Can I Fly, Even if Just a Little?

TL: Etude

Ye Tian had originally planned to cultivate until he reached the pinnacle of the Grandmaster level before leaving the Demon Sea Base. However, after only just over twenty days of cultivation, having just raised his physical strength to 10 elephants, a message arrived, disrupting Ye Tian's plans.

"Something's happened at the Linhai Base?"

Ye Tian frowned.

The message came from Yue Ling; its accuracy should be high.

As for the Linhai Base, to say Ye Tian had no emotional attachment to it would be untrue. It was where he had lived and also the hometown of him and his sister, Ye Yu.

Though they had now moved and settled in the Demon Sea Base, that didn't mean he had forgotten his old home. His villa at the Linhai Base was still unsold, indicating his intention to return someday.

But now, something had occurred at the Linhai Base.

Immediately, Ye Tian contacted Yue Ling, hoping to get more accurate information from her. After all, the message she had sent was simply one brief line, making it hard to know the specifics.

An hour later.

Ye Tian met Yue Ling again.

"What's happened at the Linhai Base?" Ye Tian asked, his brow furrowed.

Yue Ling looked gravely serious, "A beast tide is about to erupt, and the Linhai Base is within the affected area. Under normal circumstances, the Demon Sea Base wouldn't stand idly by and let the Linhai Base be destroyed, given its strategic importance. But now, the Demon Sea Base can't afford to worry about Linhai. This beast tide is sweeping across several major bases; Linhai being a smaller base, is just collateral damage. Only the core members of the major families at the Demon Sea Base know this. I came to know it due to my recent breakthrough to the Grandmaster level, which raised my status in the Yue family. Don't spread this news; it could cause chaos. I have a feeling this beast tide is even more fearsome than the one forty years ago!"

"More fearsome than the one forty years ago!"

Ye Tian's pupils constricted, realizing why the Demon Sea Base couldn't spare any attention for Linhai. The Demon Sea Base itself was facing the threat of annihilation; how could they possibly care for a minor base like Linhai?

In this beast tide, the Linhai Base could only rely on itself.

"What do you think is the likelihood of Linhai Base being destroyed?"

Ye Tian asked.

"Close to one hundred percent," Yue Ling sighed. "Ye Tian, you have no idea how many bases have been destroyed over the past hundred years. Our Yue family knows a lot. Don't be fooled by the glamor of the large bases; even they could collapse at any moment. Moreover, the human situation is getting increasingly dire. It's said that the spatial rifts are expanding, and as time passes, stronger and stronger beasts will appear. It's not impossible that humanity could be annihilated someday."

A heavy atmosphere enveloped the room.

At that moment, Ye Tian spoke, "I'm planning to go to the Linhai Base. I hope you can help look after my sister; consider it a favor I owe you."

"You're going to the Linhai Base, are you out of your mind?"

Yue Ling exclaimed.

While the Demon Sea Base also faced risks, it still had a relatively higher chance of survival. In the worst-case scenario, they could seek help from the Super Bases, with which they maintained contact.

But Linhai Base didn't even have defensive arrays. Once the beast tide broke through, the whole base could be flattened in an instant. Even Kings would struggle against the swarm of beasts.

"What's your cultivation level, Ye Tian?

Just a Grandmaster!

Even a small part of the beast tide is not something a single Grandmaster can resist.

"Ye Tian, this is too dangerous and is not worth it!"

Yue Ling tried to persuade him.

Ye Tian gave a slight smile, "Don't worry, I'm not foolish. I'm only going to try and stop it; if I can't, I'll leave! There aren't many beasts that can stop me if I want to go."

He wasn't bragging. With his current level and top-tier speed talent, he was faster than some Kings. Moreover, he had a high-level flying talent, which allowed him to simply fly away.

With the many special talents that Ye Tian possessed, he was undoubtedly one of the most difficult warriors to kill in this world.

It was precisely because he held these trump cards that he dared to venture to the Linhai Base. Otherwise, he wasn't foolish enough to court death.

Yue Ling knew she couldn't persuade Ye Tian, so she advised, "Ye Tian, be careful. If things really don't go well, hurry back."

Ye Tian nodded, then parted ways with Yue Ling.

Before leaving, Ye Tian gave some instructions to Ye Yu. He did not mention the crisis at the Linhai Base or the looming beast tide; speaking of these would serve no purpose other than to cause Ye Yu worry.

"Xiao Xue, let's go. I'll take you somewhere. You're always saying you're never full, right? This time, I'll make sure you eat your fill. How does that sound?"

Ye Tian kicked the dozing War Blood Sky Dragon as he spoke.

"Really?"

The War Blood Sky Dragon woke up upon hearing Ye Tian's words, lifted its head, and asked excitedly.

"Absolutely true. Let's go," urged Ye Tian.

"Alright!"

The War Blood Sky Dragon immediately followed Ye Tian.

Walking down the street didn't cause much of a stir, as the people of this era had never seen a dragon. Moreover, the War Blood Sky Dragon didn't look like the dragons described in novels; its body was not slender but rather quite robust.

To others, they might just think of the War Blood Sky Dragon as some sort of dragon beast.

Furthermore, Xiao Xue had completely restrained its dragon aura, making it even less likely to be recognized.

Soon, Ye Tian and Xiao Xue left Demon Sea Base and ventured into the wilderness.

"Xiao Xue, carry me and fly. We're going to Linhai Base!" Ye Tian commande

"Fly? Do I know how to fly?" Xiao Xue asked, bewildered.

It never had the chance to fly at Demon Sea Base and had never tried flying before. It even considered itself a land-based beast.

Ye Tian stared at Xiao Xue for a long while, contemplating whether to give it a good beating. This creature was a dragon, after all, and even had a high aptitude for flying, yet it claimed not to know how?

"You have a high aptitude for flying; you definitely can. Try it out. If you don't fly, there will be no beast blood for you to drink this time," Ye Tian started to threaten Xiao Xue with the prospect of no beast blood.

Hearing that, Xiao Xue grew anxious. Spurred by its flying talent, it soared into the sky within just a few seconds, quickly mastering the art of flying.

"So it turns out I'm a flying dragon!" Xiao Xue exclaimed excitedly.

With a flash of light, Xiao Xue appeared beside Ye Tian, lowered its body, and said, "Dear master, climb onto my back. Xiao Xue will take you flying."

Ye Tian jumped onto Xiao Xue's back, sat cross-legged, and pointed in the direction of the Linhai Base. "Take off, let's go to Linhai Base!"
