The so-called Tiger God Festival is quite different from the previous Martial God Festival. It is a grand event of large-scale team battles, and the competition is divided into many rounds.

The competition venues are also diverse. In addition to some competitions being held indoors, some competitions will also be held in secret places, sometimes in jungles, sometimes in mountains, and sometimes underwater.

There are no restrictions on who can participate in the Martial God Festival. Even students from the professional zone or teams from other schools can participate, and there is no limit to the number of participants. However, there are restrictions on the number of members allowed to enter the competition venue.

The number of players that can be fielded varies depending on the arena. Without this limit, battles against the Sky Clan could easily turn into thousands against dozens, making the outcome of the match a foregone conclusion.

If a match is limited to five-on-five, then each side can only send five players, and any extra players can only watch.

Some matches are flat battles with dozens of opponents against each other, while others are siege battles with one hundred against thirty opponents.

Therefore, in addition to physical combat, it also includes intellectual combat.

The victorious group will receive a trophy and glory, just like in the Martial God Festival, and will be recognized by all the students in the academy. They can also make a request to the school, provided that it is within the bounds of law and morality and is a shared desire of the members.

Groups and communities that are confident in their teamwork are eager to try it out.

After finishing his classes in the afternoon, Detective Qin Jing prepared to investigate the truth about the Sky Clan, and Alice said she would go with him. So they went together to the Sky Clan Gymnasium where the Sky Clan was located.

This stadium is very tall, but there are very few stairs. The windows are the size of doors and can be opened at will. If you are a flight crew, you can fly directly in and out from there.

"Speaking of which, this large stadium that belongs exclusively to the Sky Clan, it seems that it was built by the Sky Clan's predecessors when they fought hard for the championship and then asked the academy to help them build it," Alice said.

"Yes, that's true." Qin Jing nodded after reading the internal campus records.

"Qin Jing, what should we do now?" Alice asked, seemingly full of anticipation.

"Let's hear what the golden eagle has to say first. Alice, what do you think?" Qin Jing said.

"Oh, Qin Jing, you're right," Alice nodded in agreement.

She seemed to be hoping to say something, like, "Blind student, I've discovered a key point," or "There's only one truth."

Section 210, Chapter 26: The Golden Eagle and the Andean Vulture

The young boy and girl entered the Sky Clan Gymnasium, walked up the stone steps at the entrance and entered through the gate that was more than four or five meters high. When Qin Jing walked here, it was as if she had entered a land of giants. Inside, there was a huge cylinder supporting the gymnasium, like a tower.

The stadium is divided into many areas using the tower as a boundary. The roof is not completely sealed off, and there are almost no stairs around it, because the Sky Tribe flies directly up, so there is no need for them.

Qin Jing looked up at the dozen or so stories high, where the golden eagle and the cadres were seated, then glanced at the metal staircase in the corner of the wall, usually only used by maintenance workers. Last time he came, the Sky Clan had taken him up directly, but now he was a little troubled.

This time, the atmosphere was completely different. Although the Sky Clan members around him were all practicing, their expressions were very serious. Even the monsters he knew nodded to him and ignored him and Alice.

"Let me fly you up there," Alice said, sensing Qin Jing's thoughts.

"Huh? Can you do that?" Qin Jing asked. Alice is a shrike monster, a small bird, even smaller than a swallow.

"Well, as long as you master the transformation, you can make good use of not only your human form, but also your demon form." Alice said, as yellowish-brown wings sprouted from her back, which were almost two meters long when they were outstretched.

So Alice walked behind Qin Jing, placed her hands on her shoulders, but then felt it was difficult to hold on, so she simply hugged Qin Jing and lifted her up.

"Hmm, no problem, Xiaojing, you're so light! Seba seems to be heavier than you." Alice said, weighing him in her hands.

"That's hardly a compliment for a guy," Qin Jing retorted.

The girl spread her long wings, creating a strong wind, and carried the boy straight up.

Qin Jing discovered that this place resembled a structure only found among aliens, with footholds scattered throughout the walls. It was unsuitable for human activity, but perfectly suited for the airborne race capable of flight.

Looking down at this point, each floor resembles a stacked fan, smaller at the top than at the bottom, with a large empty circle around the central cylindrical tower, and the space increasing towards the top.

The throne at the very top offers a panoramic view of all the fans.

This wasn't designed for humans; it was specifically designed for the Sky Clan by a master architect, so everything here is novel.

Alice led Qin Jingfei to the fan-shaped area below the throne, where seven or eight Sky Clan monsters were sitting at a rectangular table discussing something. The leader, Golden Eagle, and the Eagle Demon, whom they had dealt with before, were also there.

The golden eagle, seated at the head of the group, stopped, and the other bird demons also turned to look at the young man and woman. In fact, the moment Qin Jing arrived, a bird demon flew up to report to them.

"Everyone, we're here!" Alice greeted.

"Excuse me." Qin Jing landed on the ground and nodded to the monsters.

"Qin Jing, Alice, what brings you here?" the golden eagle asked.

"Well, I'll get straight to the point. We're here on behalf of Martial God Falcon to investigate the internal strife within the Sky Clan. You were probably discussing these things just now, right? Could you give me some time to talk?" Qin Jing said with a smile.

The bird demons all showed expressions of shock.

"The Queen's commission!"

"Lord Falcon..."

"So, it seems Lady Falcon really likes you. Since she's spoken, we'll talk to you, although I don't think this can be explained by 'internal strife'." The Golden Eagle spoke up. As the leader chosen by this tribe, his opinion basically represented that of the Sky Clan. The other cadres were his subordinates and wouldn't object.

"Please sit down." The eagle demon pulled out two chairs for Qin Jing and Alice.

"Thank you. Now, please tell me how the Andean eagle fell out with you," Qin Jing asked the golden eagle as she sat down.

"Hmph, that's a long-planned betrayal," the eagle demon said angrily.

"The Andean Vulture has no organization, no discipline, it's a black sheep." The other monsters chimed in with their curses.

"It couldn't be better if he left the tribe."

"Quiet down, what are you saying in front of the guests?" Golden Eagle stopped his subordinates, then explained the situation to Qin Jing.

"The strength of the Andean Vulture is comparable to mine, and he is stubborn and self-willed. He is a native monster here, unlike us, who have lived in different secret realms with our parents since childhood, depending on the season. He has not received the military training, unity and discipline that we received in the secret realms of the Americas, so he is very resentful of the policies we have set."

"His departure was expected, but his choice to do so at the crucial moment of the Tiger God Festival is also understandable. We are not afraid of any competition."

"I see. So you accept the outcome of this separation, but as far as I know, you two are about to start fighting. There are quite a few Sky Clan demons down there who are uneasy and hope to return to the way things were before," Qin Jing said.

"Our lineage as the legitimate successor of the Sky Clan will remain unchanged. Disregarding discipline and valuing only strength will only lead to a worse situation there, eventually resulting in widespread betrayal and abandonment. All our compatriots are discerning; those who wish to return are naturally welcome," the golden eagle declared firmly.

"I know, so can you tell me what you're discussing here so seriously? If needed, I can sign a confidentiality agreement," Qin Jing asked.

The golden eagle waved its hand and said.

"No, it's not that it's something that can't be told. We said before that we'd compete head-on and we're fearless. But the Andean Vulture is ruthless, and recently a scout discovered that he seems to be hanging out with that suspicious guy."

"A suspicious guy?" Qin Jing asked doubtfully.

"That snake demon in the infirmary," the golden eagle said.

"A snake demon!" Qin Jing then recalled the strange snake-headed monster in Bian Que's infirmary; it was certainly not a benevolent creature.

“Although we don’t know where he’s from, he’s extremely dangerous. We’ve heard rumors that he seems to have some kind of deal with the demon realm and is conducting some kind of experiment. So we’ve strictly ordered our members to avoid contact with that snake demon,” the golden eagle said in a deep voice.

“But the Andean eagle has come into contact with such a dangerous creature, and that’s no longer a matter of disagreement. What we’re worried about now is what he might do at the Tiger God Festival.”

"I know, thank you for telling me all this. That's all for today, I'll come again next time." Qin Jing left her seat and stood up.

"Huh? Is that enough?" Alice asked doubtfully. Didn't she just find out the mastermind and the villain's true colors? As a knight of justice, shouldn't she accept the NPC's request and go to defeat them?

"Alice, please," Qin Jing said to the girl.

"Oh...oh. Well then, goodbye everyone." Alice had no choice but to obediently sprout wings on her back, take Qin Jing with her, and fly out of the stadium through the door in the ceiling that was used by the Sky Clan.

"As expected of the strongest and most wicked human, not only has the Queen taken a liking to him, but even Alice has been tamed so obediently," the eagle demon exclaimed.

"So what do we do next?" a monster asked the leader.

"In short, prepare for battle and keep a close watch on the enemy's movements," the golden eagle instructed.

"Understood!" The demons sprang into action.

Section 211.27 The Flying Clan of Andean Vultures

In the setting sun, a long, dark shadow could be seen above the academy, resembling a bird demon spreading its wings, or perhaps two human figures. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a sky-clan girl carrying a boy as they flew forward.

"Pah! You two are such a scoundrel! You're showing off to the heavens!" The dog demon below turned its head away, angrily lowered its head, and left.

In the sky, the golden-haired girl's wings fluttered on her back as she asked the boy she was holding.

"Qin Jing, where to next?"

"Okay, let's go straight to the unused old warehouse," Qin Jing suggested.

"Huh? Isn't that the Andean eagle's last stronghold? Could it be that we're going to fight evil?! Oh! Qin Jing! I'll do my best!" Alice shouted excitedly, raising her fist. This was a lone knight of justice! She was completely fired up.

"Alice, hands! Hands!" Qin Jing felt herself sliding down and cried out repeatedly, reminding him that they were dozens of meters in the air.

"Oh, sorry. I suddenly got all excited and easily forgot about what was around me." Alice suddenly remembered Qin Jing and quickly let go of her arms to hug her tighter.

"Next time, let's walk if we can," Qin Jing complained, still shaken.

After flying over the teaching area, we arrived at the old warehouse area on one side of the academy. This area was usually used to store all kinds of items, but in recent years, a new warehouse area has been built there because of the construction of a transportation road up the mountain.

As this area is an old district, it has been left idle and used as a place for activities by some ethnic groups.

After leaving the Sky Clan, the Andean Vulture and its followers temporarily settled here.

This is a very large warehouse, three stories high. Everywhere you can see different colored wooden boards and sheet metal materials that have been repaired and nailed on. Sure enough, it gave me a lot of ideas.

The gate was also very dilapidated. It was a wooden gate made by hand, nailing wood together and then strung together with wire. It was so broken that it looked like it would break if kicked.

"It's so dilapidated, it doesn't have any of the grandeur of a Demon King's castle. It's even diminishing my motivation to fight it," Alice complained.

"No, I'm not here to wage war. Don't say anything out of line once we're inside," Qin Jing said to the girl.

"Huh? What are you doing here?" Alice asked, puzzled.

“It’s a routine visit. To resolve the issue, we need to know what both sides are thinking,” Qin Jing said.

"Didn't we already know? What happened? Everyone's already told us." Alice asked curiously.

Qin Jing said, "That's just one side of the story from the Golden Eagle's side. Anyway, let's go in and hear what they have to say first. Even in your favorite adventure games, the knight will let the demon king say a lot of lines to prove that he is evil before the battle begins, right?"

“No, I’ve always skipped that. It has nothing to do with heroes of justice or villains,” Alice said, clenching her fist.

"...Anyway, you'd better shut up once you go inside, or I won't cook your favorite dishes tonight." Qin Jing turned to look at the girl and said.

"..." Alice pouted, feeling wronged, and obediently zipped up her zipper under Qin Jing's friendly gaze.

"Hello, I am Qin Jing, a first-year middle school student. I am of human race and I have come here to visit the leader of this place," Qin Jing called out from outside the large iron door of the warehouse.

"Human! That human has arrived!"

"Boss! That human is here, should we let him in?"

The old, empty warehouse had no soundproofing whatsoever. The rooster-headed monster's loud shouts could be heard clearly by Qin Jing and Alice outside the door.

"Let him in," a rough, hoarse voice said.

"Oh! Come in." The rooster-haired monster pushed open the door and casually waved for Qin Jing to come in.

"Thank you." Qin Jing went inside.

"Wait, you, this blonde Sky Clan lady, do you want to play with me?" The man with the rooster-like hair saw Alice following behind Qin Jing and asked with a lecherous smile.

Alice put a zipper on her mouth, and the other person smiled.

"Hehehe." The man with the rooster-like hair returned an even brighter smile.

Alice smiled, and suddenly a scepter appeared in her hand. She then proceeded to strike the target with a flourish.

"Whoa!" The man with the rooster-like hair kept backing away until he finally collapsed to the ground.

"Alice, let's go," Qin Jing said.

"..." Alice, hearing Qin Jing's urging, put away her...

"Hahaha!"

"Hahaha! Turkey, you're such a loser!"

The monsters standing inside who witnessed this scene burst into laughter.

"So you're that human? I heard you're favored by Falcon?" a rough voice rang out.

Following the sound, they saw a strong, silver-haired man with a slicked-back hairstyle, a cigar dangling from his lips, dressed in a black leather jacket and pants, glaring fiercely at them. He really was the Andean Eagle.

"To be precise, we have a good relationship," Qin Jing replied.

"Hmm? Isn't this Miss Alice? She didn't go to the gymnasium. Does she want to join me?" Andes Eagle asked.

"I'm sorry, Alice is a member of my club, and she came here with me," Qin Jing explained with a smile, standing in front of the angry Alice.

"Oh? What's the matter?" The Andean eagle glared fiercely at Qin Jing and asked.

"Just wanted to ask what your thoughts are on separating from the Sky Clan?" Qin Jing asked.

As soon as she finished speaking, the noisy monsters around her all stood up, glaring angrily at Qin Jing.
