"It seems we'll have to cancel our bet…" the Lord of Lords said.

"Why so?" asked the Red Sun, who seemed the one that will profit the most form voiding this bet.

"Because I feel like he began to move, or at least… his 'little' pet is."

The Wisest Sun closed his eyes for a second them opened them, "Indeed, the world itself is moving, they are waking up…"

"I might need to go," the Lord of Lords said.

"Didn't we agree to not interfere?" said the Red Sun.

"I did, only if one of us do not interfere, but now as you see, 'he' is moving and I don't like that.

"I know how you feel, even I never liked him, but still. To act now will cause a lot of strife," said the Red Sun.

"Then strife be it, I will not allow them to harm Shen Bao…"

"You do know that he is stronger than you," said the Red Sun, "Especially there, in the darkness…"

"I do, but even he will not dare be arrogant enough to contest against me, especially in his own land and home… lest it perishes and be destroyed…"

"I'll come with you," said the Wisest Sun.

The Red Sun sighed and said, "Then I too, will come, but promise me this, move only when you see them about to be harmed, we must not interfere too much with those below us in rank. It will ruin the balance that we barely hold," said the Red Sun.

"It is a first, to see you be more level headed than any of us," said the Lord of Lords.

"I was always level headed, only you never took the chance to see it, let's go for now…"

Suddenly all three of them disappeared from the inn, never to be noticed at all.

***

The deeper we went, the creepier it got. The silence was uncanny and fictively terrorizing. One could barely see in front of them, and all we could hear was the occasional whimper or growl that would not take a second to come and go.

Granted, even hunters here, in this second area dare not to cause sound.

And that was proven by sight as we saw when a wolf like beast jumped against a giant tree bark, and came down with prey in his mouth, a nocturnal bird of prey.

The wolf made the mistake of not silencing his prey instantly by killing it as soon as it grabbed it. Thus the bird screamed in pain as the wolf's jaws were piercing right through its fragile chest.

Though the bird was definitely dying from the injuries. With that single scream before it died, it managed to notify more predators to the location. Mainly one of those very same gigantic mantis spiders, which split the wolf in half.

None of us even noticed the mantis this time as it camouflaged itself by hanging from a tree. The murdered wolf was then slowly pulled up into the mouth of the mantis that slurped its insides, viscera, blood and flesh. Not leaving anything but an empty hide to land like a rag on the muddy ground.

Our cube continued moving forward as we saw many of such occurrences.

No hunter or prey dared makes sound. The prey was silent as they would instantly die the moment they make noise, and the hunters knew there were other hunters that could prey on them thus they hunted in silence.

Forest of Silence is what this is. And the merest echo would cause unwanted bloodshed.

Yet what caused me worry wasn't the hunters or the prey, but the fact that a great number of creatures were dead and hanging on trees. Pinned by their own jaws or membranes into trees and thick branches.

And that death wasn't limited to exoskeletal creatures like bugs and ants, but also mammals and rodents. Many of which were hanging, nothing but skeletons and dead rotting husks hanging all over us.

Kyu suddenly perched up from my hood, growling at the far distance. There seems to be an issue ahead.

"Everyone, ready up," I said.

Yet my words didn't even finish before three gigantic orbs came flying at us.

For a second I thought these orbs were a spell or some form of an assault by someone, yet it severely lacked any killing intent.

The three orbs then soon peered at us from between the trees, thinking that one of the giant mantises were about to attack it, none of that happened.

The opposite in fact happened. The mantis that was hiding and camouflaging itself as a part of a giant tree fell down, and immediately rushed away from the three giant orbs.

The orbs then moved and I could see a giant slit in their middle.

"Eyes?" I muttered. And soon a bird's foot with three gigantic claws gripped at our cube, with enough strength to carry it, but not break it or destroy the formation around it.

It was subtle and harmlessly caring that it didn't even perturb or disturb the sphere that I created around the cube.

One of the soldiers pointed the minigun at one of the claws and was about to shoot it but I stopped him right in time.

"Don't anger it, if it wanted us dead, we'd be dead already," I said as I gazed back from the small window at the creature's eyes.

You could barely see anything of this beast.

Its feet and the rest of its body was pitch black nothing of this creature was visible but the pointy predator bird mouth of his that reflected a small portion of the light in this caver, and the red eerie eyes of his that seemed to promise death to anything that would dare stand in its way.

A powerful surge of wind blew underneath and around us and only then did I realize that it was its wings. And soon, we were hundreds of meters above the highest tree.

The bird then moved through the cavern with incredible speed, allowing us to see what was below as an endless forest that extended as long as the eyes could see.

Ye the lake waters were all… dead.

"Yeah, the owner is also another Sun…"

"Don't tell me…"

"Oh, no, not that guy, thankfully not… it's another Sun, a Sun that disappeared a long time ago… the Dusking Sun…"

"Well, that doesn't sound too well now does it," I muttered.

Beasts of all sizes were running away, long were the times where everything was silent and calm. As every beast and creature in the vicinity was whimpering in utter fright and fear from the creature that was flying above them.

Because for them they knew, that prey or hunter, nothing mattered when what seemed to be the absolute apex predator of this region appeared.

The creature continued moving through the entire cavern with a speed that was absolutely mind boggling yet at the same time didn't affect any of us.

And I could see it, how the laws of the world were bending themselves to not affect it. And only then did I realize that this creature was at the same level of the Primordial Serpent God.

Yet at the same time it was afflicted with the same issue.

The Primordial Serpent God was unable to harness the higher level of Qi, origin Qi from the Vast Expanse. And this bird seems to also be affected by the suppression of this region's Qi.

"Three Eyed Raven… it actually does exist," said old Fu.

"You know what this is?" I asked.

"Yes, and I don't think this is good news," he said.

"We're going to be eaten aren't we…" one of the soldiers said desperately.

"No, you'd wish," replied old Fu, "for something like this, we're not even at the level of appetizers. And it's not the bird that I'm worried of, but the owner…"

"You know the owner of this bird?" I asked.

"Yes… and he is a bit… peculiar…" he added.

"Care to explain, because it seems our speed is dropping a bit," I said as I noticed that there was a massive land that was separated by a trench of water. It looked like an island in the middle of a lake.

Ye the lake waters were all… dead.

"Well, that doesn't sound too well now does it," I muttered.
