Egg of an eagle

  Rumble rumble rumble——

  The huge snake tail slapped on the ground, and the entire mountain shook instantly.

  Xu Ziqing's feet were unstable, and he stumbled backward, grabbing onto a sturdy branch that protruded from the stone crevice in the mountain wall behind him, but still felt dizzy.

  A sharp bird cry echoed through the air, strong winds were so intense that it was almost impossible to keep one's eyes open, Xu Ziqing felt as if his feet were about to leave the ground, he hastily added more strength, steadied himself, and looked up.

  Only a giant python, several tens of feet long, was rolling in the mountains, its scales as black as ink, its long tail twisting and sweeping, knocking down countless huge rocks and breaking countless huge trees. In the air, there was a pair of extremely large divine eagles, with wings spread out to about 40 or 50 feet long, one gold and one black, both with sharp eagle beaks and hook-like claws like steel.

  Two eagles and a python were fighting together, stirring up heaven and earth.

  The giant python slithered on the ground, while the two eagles occupied the advantageous position. They came down swiftly from both sides, one using its sharp claws to grab and tear at the python's body, the other using its beak to peck at the python's abdomen. Before long, the python's body was covered in bloodstains, and it let out a hissing sound in agony.

  Just as the two eagles were gaining the upper hand, the giant python suddenly raised its snake tail, aimed at the golden eagle and wrapped it around, then seemed to fold in half from the middle, the python's head turned and bit towards the black eagle.

  The golden eagle's body was agile and had never been bitten by the giant python, while the black eagle did not notice the giant python's cunning and was bitten off a handful of black feathers. Suddenly, the cry became even more shrill, and it flew hastily into the sky.

  The python succeeded, but was then taken advantage of by the golden eagle, which pecked through its abdomen and nearly pulled out its gallbladder. However, it suddenly became enraged, opened its snake mouth, and spat out a cloud of black fog.

  The black fog must be highly toxic, the Golden Eagle's entire body was covered in golden feathers, but when some of the black fog landed on it, that spot instantly corroded away. The Golden Eagle was shocked and immediately soared into the sky.

  However, the giant python and the two eagles had already formed a deadly feud, so they naturally wouldn't give up. It suddenly shook its body, the python's body trembling non-stop, but in an instant it shrunk by one circle.

  Xu Ziqing suddenly opened his eyes wide, but saw that the giant python on its back suddenly grew a pair of wings and also took off!

  This time both sides are in the air, the giant python swings its snake tail, with a slightly clumsy meaning. The two eagles see an opportunity and immediately attack together. But the giant python turns around and whips its tail, striking the black eagle!

  The black eagle let out a mournful cry and involuntarily loosened one of its claws.

  Xu Ziqing only then realized that something had fallen from the eagle's claws, plummeting downwards at an incredible speed. The golden eagle suddenly abandoned the giant python and flapped its wings to dive down, seemingly wanting to catch the object. But unexpectedly, the eagle's speed was no match for the object's falling speed, and as soon as it hit the ground, it let out a "crack" sound and shattered into pieces, releasing a puddle of yellowish-white liquid.

  It was an eagle egg after all, no wonder the golden eagle was so anxious.

  Unfortunately, they failed to rescue it. The Golden Eagle was furious and quickly gathered with the Black Eagle, fiercely clawing and biting towards the giant python, their momentum as if fighting for their lives. Even the ferocious python was intimidated by their aura.

  The giant python, however, refused to give up. It stirred its newly born pair of flesh wings and resolutely entangled itself with the two eagles. Having just seen the golden eagle lose its offspring and seeing how ferocious the two eagles were, it steeled itself to withstand the iron claws' grasp and pounced on the black eagle.

  Originally, there was another eagle egg in the Black Eagle's nest, which was also the only one left. The giant python had a mind to use that as a weakness and find an opportunity to kill the two eagles!

  The python was indeed extraordinary, it really bit down on the black eagle's half-wing, and its tail swung back and forth, whipping the black eagle's right claw. The black eagle felt pain, its right claw relaxed, and the golden eagle let out a more mournful cry, fiercely pecking at one of the snake's eyes!

  Two eagles and a python formed a posture of mutual destruction, each launching a fierce attack on the other, regardless of the means, only attacking their opponent. It was a scene of blood flying everywhere, feathers falling in profusion...

  Xu Ziqing, however, was dazzled by the sight and saw another object falling from the sky. He recalled the pain of the two eagles earlier and remembered his parents' love for him in his past life. He took a few steps forward, released a small amount of spiritual energy to slow down the egg's descent, and then quickly ran over to catch it just in time.

  He finally let out a breath of relief, Xu Ziqing carefully placed the eagle egg into the cloth pouch in his bosom and held it protectively.

  The aerial battle had reached its climax, with the python bleeding profusely and the two eagles severely injured. The fight became even more brutal as both sides clashed fiercely, until the golden eagle finally managed to rip open the python's abdomen, but was then bitten by the python on the throat. The black eagle tried to come to the golden eagle's aid, but the python suddenly wrapped its long tail around the black eagle. All three ferocious beasts fell to the ground, with the golden eagle already dead, the python gradually weakening, and the black eagle still alive but entangled in the snake's coils, thrashing about on the ground until it too finally lay still. In the end, this battle between the eagles and the python ended with all parties perishing together.

  Xu Ziqing's palm covered his chest, where the eagle egg was, and he only felt his blood churning. The previous battle had been so brutal, but it had only lasted a few short minutes, and yet three beast lives had already been lost.

  He was slightly gasping for air, and only then did he realize that he had been holding his breath just now.

  The surroundings were in a state of utter devastation, with rocks, soil, grass and trees scattered everywhere by the three beasts. Many mountain cliffs had been cracked open, and the once majestic peaks of Qijue Mountain had been left in a sorry state.

  Xu Ziqing looked at the giant python's scales and thought of those he had seen in the cave earlier, feeling a bit frightened afterwards.

  This cave is the python's lair, and for some reason it let the python fight with those two eagles, allowing him to escape with his life. Otherwise, if the giant python had returned at midnight and trapped him in the cave, he would have ended up in the python's belly.

  These three ferocious beasts were also unknown whether they had opened their spiritual wisdom, lived for many years, or had any demon pills in their bodies. However, this had nothing to do with Xu Ziqing, who wiped the sweat off his brow and showed no intention of leaving.

  Just then, several figures suddenly appeared in the distance. Xuzi Qing was startled and quickly retreated into the cave, covering the entrance with a boulder and cautiously looking out from inside.

  Only to see a young man in blue clothes stepping on a flying sword, landing right in front of the three beasts' corpses, with a pleased expression on his face. However, in an instant, several figures descended, all using magical instruments to fly, either gourds, jade rulers, or silk ribbons, including both men and women, all with extraordinary bearing.

  Xu Ziqing couldn't see through the cultivation of the crowd, but he knew that since they could fly with their instruments, their cultivation was at least above the fifth layer of Lianqi. If he were to reveal himself, he might not even be enough for a single scoop of soup. There were also people from the Xu family there, but they didn't know Xu Ziqing well. He quietly hid and knew in his heart that these people had all come because of the Three-Headed Beast's battle.

  Those three corpses of ferocious beasts were extremely huge. When those cultivators saw the corpses, their eyes all lit up.

  Someone said: "This giant python has been practicing for at least three hundred years, and its back has grown a pair of wings. Could it be that it has the bloodline of an ancient dragon?"

  The yellow-shirted girl's voice was gentle and her expression was indifferent: "This thing is a black scale snake, with the ancient bloodline of the snake, far from being comparable to that divine creature. It has indeed been cultivated for three hundred years, if it takes another two hundred years, it will be able to grow a horn and transform into a black dragon."

  Everyone couldn't help but take a cold breath, and the original mention of the Yinglong bloodline was just a joke. Unexpectedly, this small snake actually had an ancient bloodline! Although it wasn't a Yinglong, the Black Scaled Snake was also a fierce beast that could control large amounts of water. If it waited for the Black Scaled Snake to have a thousand years of cultivation and trigger its bloodline, it would be able to awaken the hidden snake god technique within its bloodline. At that time, even Golden Elixir cultivators would have to fear it!

  The eyes of the crowd looking at the python's corpse became even more scorching.

  Suddenly someone asked again: "The Black Scaled Snake is so extraordinary, what kind of unusual species are those two eagles? They can actually die together with it!"

  The rest of the people also woke up and had doubts. Looking at the two eagles, one male and one female, there was nothing special about them, but thinking that their opponents were of a different kind, they felt unusual again.

  It was still the girl in yellow who walked over, looked around and said in a soft voice: "The female eagle is just an ordinary black eagle that has been tempered for 500 years. The male eagle is also a rare species, with its entire body covered in golden feathers, it's likely that there is a hint of the Great Peng's bloodline in its veins. Unfortunately, the bloodline is extremely weak, almost non-existent, and the Golden Eagle's Tao has only been cultivated for over 200 years, so it can't be a match for the Black Scaled Snake."

  Ordinary birds and beasts cultivate if they obtain the method, in a hundred years there will be a demon pill stored within their body. These three birds and beasts naturally also have demon pills, and this kind of demon beast's body, inside and outside the corpse are all treasures. Everyone discovered these few beast corpses together, and couldn't swallow them alone, but they all wanted to get some benefits.

  Xu Ziqing counted and found that there were a total of eight people present, with the Tian, Xu, and Meng families each having only one representative, while the Luo family had three and the Wei family had two. If they were to be divided based on numbers, the Luo family would naturally take the lead. However, if their cultivation levels were taken into account, these individuals were all outstanding young masters from their respective families, with most of them being at the 5th or 6th level of Qi Refining. But there was one exception - a yellow-robed girl from the Meng family who had already reached the 7th level of Qi Refining and had just introduced the three-headed beast's origins. The division method would have to be somewhat different.

  For a moment, everyone was indecisive and debated back and forth, refusing to give in and let others gain an advantage.

  Just as they were about to engage in a fierce battle, everyone suddenly felt a chill run down their spines, as if a cold air was invading from all sides, making them shiver uncontrollably.

  What an enormous spiritual pressure!

  Could it be... a Foundation Establishment Cultivator?!

  Under such a powerful aura, no one dared to move. However, a streak of light suddenly flew in from the sky and landed right in front of everyone. The figure emerged, revealing a tall and slender man with an upright demeanor, exuding an icy aura all around him.

  He turned his head around, and all he saw was that the man had a handsome face with clear features, and his eyes and eyebrows were tinged with a hard coldness that made people dare not offend him.

  "Look, it's Elder Xul!" All the cultivators saw this person and immediately bowed in unison, showing great respect.

  Xu Ziqing also recognized him, and he was actually Xu Zifeng!

  Xu Zifeng bore a long sword on his back, with an aura of spirituality all over his body. Even if he just stood there, he had that kind of presence that was impossible to ignore.

  His gaze swept across the crowd of monks, and he didn't say a word. He simply raised his palm and conjured up an object that emitted a flowing aura.

  "High-quality storage pouch!"

  Except for the monk from Xu's family, who had a pleased expression on his face, everyone else was extremely disappointed. They had fought fiercely here, but in front of Xu Ziyu, they were not worth a smile. Suddenly, each of them regretted it. If they had known earlier, they shouldn't have quarreled and just taken some parts from the beast's body and left early.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, Xu Zifeng didn't say a word to anyone. The storage bag in mid-air sucked in and out for an instant, and the three animal corpses were swallowed up without leaving any trace.

  The other cultivators didn't dare to have any opinions, and Xu's cultivator had already stood behind Xu Zifeng. With a glance from Xu Zifeng, he looked towards the snake den hidden by the mountain rocks.

  "Come out." He said coldly.

  First hug Little Rain, thank you for the thunderstorm, Mua~

  Then:

  Recently, many of you have been unable to see new chapters. However, as expected, I update at a fixed time and quantity every day at 11 am. At this time, everyone can enter by modifying the chapter address. For example, if you want to read Chapter 14 but it doesn't come out, then change the "13" in the address bar of Chapter 13 to "14", and also change it to "my". This way, you can enter smoothly. If you still can't enter... I don't know what's going on either... Wishing everyone a smooth reading experience~
