However, what Ning Beichen did not expect was that Cao Shuo also came to find him, saying that he wanted to go to the Central Continent with them.
Besides Cao Shuo, all the subordinates who had followed Ning Beichen into the Ancestral Land came to him one after another, begging to go to the Central Continent with Ning Beichen.
"Are you all not afraid of death?"
Ning Beichen said to them, because this trip to the Central Continent was life-threatening, and if they stayed with him, the people of the Central Continent would absolutely not let them go.
If they stayed, they could simply shift the blame to Ning Beichen, and the people of the Central Continent might not deal with them.
"Commander, our lives were given by you. Without you, we wouldn't be where we are today. In fact, it's not just us; all the brothers and sisters in the Hunting Group are willing to leave with you. It's just that the space on the airship is limited and cannot accommodate so many people, so they didn't come to find you."
"Alright, since that's the case, then we will go to the Central Continent together."
Ning Beichen stopped delaying.
When preparing to leave, Ning Beichen chose to disband the Dark King Hunting Group. First, he could no longer lead them, and second, it was to avoid trouble from the Central Continent in the future.
Although it was a pity to disband the Dark King Hunting Group, Ning Beichen was doing it for their own good. Without him, the Dark King Hunting Group would eventually fall apart even if he didn't disband it, even if the people from the Central Continent didn't come looking for trouble.
If either Yang Qianrou or Cao Shuo could have stayed, perhaps the Dark King Hunting Group could have lasted longer.
But both of them followed him, and there was no one to manage the Dark King Hunting Group.
However, it was predictable that after Ning Beichen left, the Hunting Group would likely undergo a major reshuffle soon.
But these were no longer Ning Beichen's concern, because he was now on the airship, having left the Northwest Border City.
The airship was not very large, but not small either, about the size of a basketball court, divided into two levels. The lower level was for storing food and tools, and the upper level was for living, much like a ship.
Needless to say, Ning Beichen definitely occupied the best room on the upper level, as he was the boss here.
Apart from Yang Qianrou, who was given a room, the others could only share rooms, and the rest had to sleep on the large bunks of the airship.
The speed of the airship was not fast. It would take about a month to travel from here to the Central Continent, and they had to guard against attacks from aerial raptors along the way.
And this thing was not an airplane, but relied on three great eagles as power.
But great eagles would get tired, so they needed to rest and eat every day and could not stay in the air for too long, so they had to find places to land.
During the time spent on the ground, they also had to guard against attacks from ground beasts, which was not as safe as in the air.
The airship was also equipped with weapons, but they were mainly large crossbows to deal with aerial raptors. There were a total of five, placed in different directions of the airship.
The airship, under the control of the three individuals, slowly flew towards the Central Continent.
Yang Qianrou leaned against the railing of the airship, looking at the distant city, her mind recalling what her uncle had told her.
"Niece, I can see that Ning Beichen is no ordinary person, and he might even be from that place. You must follow him and not leave."
"Uncle, I want to stay and face it with you."
"Silly child, the stage here is too small. Uncle doesn't want you to waste your years here. Go, this is your only chance."
Chang Tianyi unhesitatingly persuaded Yang Qianrou to follow Ning Beichen and leave.
In fact, Chang Tianyi knew that his days as City Lord were numbered. The people sent by the Central Continent had died here, and although Ning Beichen was the culprit, he, as the City Lord, could not escape responsibility.
If Yang Qianrou did not leave, she would surely be implicated.
Moreover, the matter was initiated by her, and Ning Beichen had acted out of righteous indignation for her. For both reason and sentiment, she had to leave.
The airship flew in the air, and before long, it encountered a giant two-headed bird attacking the airship.
The people on the airship were so frightened that they hurriedly controlled the bows and crossbows to shoot arrows at the two-headed bird to drive it away.
With a few buzzing sounds.
The arrows, carrying the whistling sound of wind breaking, had just flown near the two-headed bird when they were batted away by its wings. One arrow even flew back.
With a bang!
The arrow pierced the deck of the airship.
"Defense!"
Yang Qianrou hurriedly led people to attack the two-headed bird in the sky.
Ning Beichen, however, sat calmly on a chair on the airship deck, looking at the two-headed bird in the sky with disdain, not even having the interest to make a move.
It was as if this two-headed bird was something that could be easily defeated in his eyes.
And in reality, it was true. The reason Ning Beichen didn't act was to train Yang Qianrou and the others.
After all, they were now following him, and the road ahead was full of danger. If they didn't grow quickly, they might not have a chance to reach the Central Continent with him.
"Everyone, don't make a move. Let Yang Qianrou deal with it alone."
Ning Beichen spoke when he saw the chaotic scene.
Cao Xu and the others were stunned, then exchanged glances with Yang Qianrou, as they had not expected Ning Beichen to give such an order.
"Listen to the boss. None of you need to move. I'll do it."
Yang Qianrou said to Cao Shuo and the others with determined eyes.
After disbanding the Dark King Hunting Group, Ning Beichen had asked Yang Qianrou and the others to change their address to "Boss."
Cao Shuo and the others naturally could not and dared not disobey Ning Beichen's wishes, and they all looked at Yang Qianrou with worry.
Because this two-headed bird was not easy to deal with, could Yang Qianrou alone handle it?
However, their worries were unnecessary, because Ning Beichen made this decision naturally, and he had confidence in Yang Qianrou, and could also see that Yang Qianrou had sufficient ability to deal with this two-headed bird.
Without everyone's help, Yang Qianrou suddenly felt the pressure, but she had no intention of giving up, because she did not want to disappoint Ning Beichen.
Yang Qianrou held a whip in her hand, but her whip was not an ordinary whip. It was a whip that could change its length, so even though the two-headed bird was in the air, her whip could still attack.
When the two-headed bird swooped down, Yang Qianrou immediately made her move.
With a crack, the whip in her hand was swung towards the two-headed bird's wing.
The whip, which originally looked only a little over two meters long, had now become a whip more than ten meters long, like a long snake rising into the sky, accompanied by a blur of afterimages, accurately hitting the two-headed bird's wing with a crisp cracking sound.
