Everyone spent nearly half a day packing up various supplies from the valley, as well as properly packaging the bodies of the Demonic Beasts outside the valley.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this place has been discovered by the Demon Clan, and it's no longer suitable for us to stay here. We have no choice but to migrate again in search of our next settlement. However, please remember, this East Zhou belongs to our Human Clan! When we grow stronger in the future, we will definitely come back to reclaim it!" Wang Hong stood in the air and spoke loudly to his subordinates below, then ordered everyone to set off.

Due to the dense presence of Demonic Beasts in the area, they didn't dare to use the Flying Boat and had to proceed on foot.

Luo Zhongjie led the East Zhou team at the forefront, with Zhang Chunfeng's Revival Battle Team behind them. Hu Jian led the miscellaneous troops in the middle, and each person carried a sealed box containing various treasures from the Mountain Valley.

Wang Hong still rode on the back of Little Peng, flying at low altitude, while also helping to keep watch on the surroundings.

"Maybe you shouldn't kill me. Look at me! I'm so beautiful! Can you really bring yourselves to harm me?" This Rainbow Mountain Chicken hadn't been killed yet and was now pleading for its life.

"A beautiful appearance won't save you. We are only interested in your flesh!" Little Peng replied without hesitation as they continued to fly.

"I can even sing and dance!"

"No need, I can sing myself, and I can dance too! Eating you would be more practical!" Wang Hong chuckled, hearing these two seemingly naive birds talk.

After a while, this Rainbow Mountain Chicken actually laid an egg, which stood over three feet tall and shimmered with radiant colors, clearly not an ordinary egg.

However, after laying this egg, the Rainbow Mountain Chicken's feathers dimmed significantly. It seemed that laying such an egg consumed a considerable amount of its essence blood and demonic energy.

"How long do you need to wait before laying another egg?" Wang Hong was now genuinely interested in the egg.

The Rainbow Mountain Chicken hesitated for a moment before replying, "It takes ten years to hatch another egg."

"Ten years for one egg? What use do I have for you then?" Wang Hong threatened.

Terrified, the Rainbow Mountain Chicken quickly responded, "At least five years."

Producing one egg required a significant expenditure of essence blood and demonic energy. Even ten years might not be enough to fully replenish them.

"I'll give you three years at most. Even three years is a loss for me. If someone keeps a chicken for three years and it only lays one egg, they'd have killed and eaten it long ago. Sigh, I'm just too kind-hearted!" Wang Hong decided firmly.

In the end, the Rainbow Mountain Chicken yielded to Wang Hong's coercion and reluctantly agreed. However, in order to control this third-tier Demonic Beast, Wang Hong performed a contract ritual to establish dominance over it, ensuring it couldn't resist him in the future.

Typically, Spirit Beasts needed to undergo the contract ritual from a young age and be raised to adulthood, just like Little Peng. Adult Demonic Beasts were more likely to resist the contract, and it was challenging to establish dominance unless they willingly cooperated.

In the case of mature Demonic Beasts forced into a contract, even though they yielded, their hearts might not truly accept it.

However, sometimes, even if a melon is forcibly picked, as long as it can be picked, who cares if it's sweet or not?

While Wang Hong was threatening the Rainbow Mountain Chicken, on the other side of the Mountain Valley, the previously fleeing Black Fox led a large group of high-tier Demonic Beasts, only to find the Mountain Valley empty.

Wang Hong remained oblivious to this development as they had been cautious throughout their journey, avoiding encounters with powerful Demonic Beast groups. Nonetheless, they still engaged in numerous battles along the way.

After two months of travel, they finally reached the vicinity of Yunxia Mountain. According to the intelligence gathered by Liu Changsheng, there were three three-tier Demonic Beasts on Yunxia Mountain, with the strongest being at mid-third tier. There were also some first and second-tier Demonic Beasts, making the overall situation manageable.

The main objective this time was to eliminate all the Demonic Beasts on Yunxia Mountain to prevent them from leaking information.

"This time, Ling Shuai, Little Peng, and I will go up the mountain to kill those three three-tier Demonic Beasts. Luo Zhongjie, Zhang Chunfeng, Hu Jian, each of you will lead your teams to surround the peak. Don't let any Demonic Beast escape. Zhang Chunfeng, send a squad to the opposite mine to kill the Demonic Beasts stationed there and secure the area."

After Wang Hong made the arrangements, he rode Little Peng alongside Ling Shuai towards Yunxia Mountain.

Upon reaching the peak, Wang Hong released the Poisonous Bees, entangling the strongest of the three-tier Demonic Beasts. He and Little Peng worked together to swiftly kill a weaker three-tier Demonic Beast. Then, they turned back to join forces against the one entangled by the Poisonous Bees.

With the assistance of the Poisonous Bees and their combined efforts, it didn't take long to slay the mid-third tier Demonic Beast.

The remaining three-tier Demonic Beast was engaged in a leisurely battle with Ling Shuai. When it sensed that both of its teammates were already dead and realized the dire situation, it turned to flee.

However, it hadn't gotten far when it felt a sharp spearhead pierce through its chest.

Once all the three-tier Demonic Beasts were slain, the remaining first and second-tier Demonic Beasts panicked and fled downhill, only to be intercepted and killed by the cultivators guarding the perimeter.

The battle was quickly resolved. Two humans and one demon had faced off against three three-tier Demonic Beasts. While the strengths were relatively even, Wang Hong had consistently created situations where they were outnumbered and faced weaker opponents, allowing them to secure an easy victory.

"East Master, I report that all the perimeter Demonic Beasts have been eliminated," Zhang Chunfeng reported as he flew to the mountaintop.

"Good! Everyone has worked tirelessly for so long. Let's take a day to rest. After everyone is well-rested, we can make further arrangements," Wang Hong said. He could see that after two months of hardships, everyone was visibly fatigued, and it was best to let them rest for a day.

"Also, take these two Demonic Beasts with you and roast them with the others," Wang Hong handed the two three-tier Demonic Beasts they had just killed to Zhang Chunfeng for preparation.

That evening, as the Rainbow Mountain Chicken watched the roasted Demonic Beasts turn golden brown, it couldn't help but shiver.
