Chapter 29: Golden Winged Thunder Eagle

  Whoosh!

  In the mountains, clothes fluttering in the empty air, the sound of urgent and defeated curses kept flashing by, able to follow Lí Chén's footsteps all the way down. The five or six people closest to him were all top-notch existences at the Condensing Breath realm.

  Their inner energy was extremely rich and robust. Although they were shocked by Li Chen's speed, they relied on their profound cultivation to forcibly hold on.

  It had been several hours since they passed by, startling many ferocious beasts along the way, including some of the top late-stage existences. However, after sensing so many people passing through, even the most bloodthirsty of beasts couldn't help but carefully hide themselves.

  Their innate sharp intuition told them that if they provoked each other at this time, it would inevitably lead to a fierce and bloody fight.

  Fortunately, no second-order demon beasts were encountered on this road. Apparently, that iron-backed bear was the dominant existence in this area.

  After chasing for hundreds of miles, seeing the sun setting in the west, they didn't see Lichun slowing down at all. They had also taken a lot of medicinal pills to recover their internal energy, and their meridians were secretly aching inside.

  What's even more dangerous is that they have penetrated so deeply, far beyond what they had ever done before.

  "Kid, put down your stuff and I'll spare your life!"

  The middle-aged man with a scar on his face shouted loudly.

  "The old scar said it's right, as long as you put down your things, we'll let you go!"

  "Put down the treasure!"

  The rest of them, constantly tempting Li Chen, their feet never stopping for a moment.

  "Only an idiot would believe that!"

  Li Chen didn't even turn his head back, and he was deaf to the tempting and abusive language that filled his ears. With anxiety in his heart, he didn't care about the changes around him at all, and he silently buried his head and rushed forward.

  A low-ranking disciple of the Xuanyun Sect who entered the ancient Cangshan to practice, many have died at the hands of these adventurers. Although the Xuanyun Sect is feared by all, in this kind of wilderness, death is just death.

  Now Li Chen is leading just because he relies on his quick movements and sufficient elixirs.

  Looking far away, the dense forest can be seen vaguely. In front of Li Chen, he led the way alone, with five or six people chasing after him non-stop. Further away, there were more than a dozen people scattered around.

  But the crowd rushing along didn't notice that the high mountain under their feet was actually a solitary peak!

  "Not good!"

  Panting heavily, Li Chen gazed out at the mountain cliff, half-hidden in cloud and mist, his face looking particularly unsightly.

  In front of a precipice and behind pursuing soldiers, they have actually walked into a dead end!

  No matter how clever and resourceful he was at dawn, he had no idea what to do now.

  "Haha, kid, you can run again?"

  Just as he hesitated, a group of five or six people arrived at the summit first, seeing Li Chen wandering around the edge of the cliff, they were overjoyed and surrounded him step by step.

  "Hey kid, hand over the pouch on your back!"

  A thin high school student looked at Li Chen's backpack and the two green horns sticking out, his eyes full of greed.

  "Who is it good for?"

  Facing desperation, Li Chen was unexpectedly calm, but his heart was filled with bitterness.

  What was expected to be a precious gain has turned out to be a desperate situation.

  The mountain wind blows down, and a hint of regret flashes in the eyes that are covered with disheveled hair. I should have known better than to be so greedy, if only I hadn't given up on those two green horns, perhaps by now I would have already left Gu Cang Mountain and found a place to cultivate in secret.

  It's really a case of extreme joy begetting extreme sorrow!

  "Give it to me!"

  Everyone shouted in unison to move forward, but what shocked and enraged them was that Li Chen suddenly jumped off the cliff.

  No!

  Rushing to the edge of the cliff, several people looked down at the cloud-shrouded below, only to catch a glimpse of that figure, with nothing grasped in their empty hands.

  Roar!

  Frightening, like a thunderclap, the wail resounded through the clouds. Several people's faces turned pale, and the cloud and mist below suddenly surged up, with their cultivation of Nine Layers of Condensation, they were blown to the east and west.

  "Golden Winged Thunder Eagle!"

  Several people gazed at the giant eagle that soared up, spreading its wings for several meters, with a golden-gray body and a golden crown on its head, and exclaimed in shock.

  With a loud thud, one of them spat out a foul-smelling green ink, and was suddenly frightened to death.

  In Leipeng's abdominal double claws, Li Chen was suddenly inside, with bloodstains all over his body, his limbs hanging down, and his life or death unknown.

  Ah!

  A strong gust of wind howled, and Lei Peng rushed over the top, covering up the mournful cries. In an instant, another person was seized and taken away. With a loud screech, Lei Peng shot up into the sky and vanished in an instant.

  The rest of the people were blown by this hurricane, rolling and colliding on the rocks, instantly bleeding from head to toe, breaking bones and tendons, and two more burst and died on the spot.

  A few survivors struggled to their feet, pale and trembling, and stumbled down the mountain.

  But at this time, a group of adventurers who were chasing after them had caught up from behind. They didn't see the terrifying Lei Peng, but they saw their own leader die miserably on the spot, and the other three were seriously injured, with a scene of desperate fighting to the death. Instantly, their eyes turned red, and without saying a word, they started a fierce battle.

  In their view, it must be that a few people got the treasure, which led to the fight. How could the three of them explain it? The adventurers who licked blood from their blades wouldn't believe them anyway.

  Wave after wave of battle cries, the bloody atmosphere gradually spread, stirring up the surrounding demonic beasts that had been hiding because of Jinchi Lai's presence, and they all gathered towards this place.

  Waiting for them, perhaps is a more brutal slaughter!

  Boom!

  Like a torn sack at dawn, I only felt the transmission of stinging pain in my body, and with great effort, I opened my eyes, but my eyelids were stuck together by bloodstains, and I could only open a small gap.

  A dark shadow loomed overhead, a loud whooshing sound echoed, and a flash of light streaked across. A low swoop grazed the corner of his mouth, a pungent smell assaulted him - it was fresh blood!

  He suddenly opened his eyes wide, but what he saw was a huge eagle, using its sharp and frightening beak to tear at the flesh that had lost all human form.

  He vaguely recognized the tattered boots as belonging to one of the adventurers who had been chasing him.

  Hiss!

  Looking up, a huge nest with many branches, several tender and sharp cries came from inside, it was the giant eagle feeding its eaglets.

  Although Li Chen's will was firm and resolute, under the severe injury, his soul suddenly flew out of his body, and he fainted immediately after a brief daze.

  Wow!

  Just as he fainted, a faint and mournful cry was heard, seemingly filled with anxiety.

  Boom!

  That peregrine falcon feeding its young, shot out of the cave like lightning, a violent gust of wind blew up at dawn, crashing against the rock wall, crackling and snapping, how many bones were broken.

  "Ah!"

  In the midst of wailing, Lei Chen fainted, but was awakened by the pain. This wakefulness was more unbearable than death itself.

  Captured by Lei Peng, his body had long been crippled beyond recognition, and now he was in a desperate situation. It could be said that nine-tenths of his life was already gone, and the current state was just a brief flash before death.

  Cock-a-doodle-doo!

  This time, Li Chen heard it clearly, the violent and harsh cry, even if he knew it was extremely far away, still felt extremely jarring.

  Hiss!

  In the midst of thunderous roars and incessant eagle cries, a fierce aura burst forth into the sky, exerting a pressure that far exceeded what Li Chen could handle at present.

  "Before I die, being able to see such a powerful demon beast is worth living, unfortunately didn't..."

  The brief gleam of light only lasted for a moment, but under the overwhelming pressure, Li Chen felt his vision growing darker and his eyelids heavier, until he finally fell silent.

  The fierce battle outside the cave lasted for nearly half an hour, and the cries of agony finally stopped. In the midst of the howling wind, the light inside the cave suddenly dimmed, and with a loud crash, two massive shadows fell into the cave, which were none other than two Golden Winged Thunder Eagles.

  The two-headed eagles were in a pitiful state, the one lying horizontally had its neck broken almost in half and was completely out of breath. The eagle that was dragged into the cave had a huge gash on its chest and abdomen, with internal organs spilled all over the ground. Another wing was also torn apart, and the originally majestic head now had one eye socket turned into a black blood hole.

  The bloodstains that had fallen and scattered everywhere gave off a nauseating stench, as if they were poisoned.
