Three days later.
Zhang Yuan arrived once more at the vicinity of Wutai Barbarian City.
From the same spot as a few days before, he gazed at the grand city; its defenses had clearly become much stricter.
On the city walls, teams of fully armed Barbarian Warriors patrolled back and forth, and elite archers watched from high towers, their vigilant eyes scanning the surroundings.
Screech～
A piercing cry resonated from the sky, as two dusky-hued eagles soared through the air, sending urgent signals.
Zhang Yuan, having just arrived, had been discovered!
Zhang Yuan glanced up at the rapidly retreating eagles but did not order the Red-eyed Crow to pursue them.
His instincts told him that doing so would certainly be a mistake.
The Barbarians were not primitive apes; although their civilization was not as advanced as Daqian, the power with which they posed repeated threats to the latter was no trivial matter.
