I was chased at the beginning, and I got the first quick sword

Chapter 592 The Sky Eagle of the Desolate Region
The ice cave that Chu Qing dug wasn't very big, but the diameter of the entrance was nearly two meters.

The giant eagle's head couldn't be poked inside for a moment.

Its enormous size is self-evident.

Chu Qing was trying to do two things at once, keeping an eye on the shepherd boy's internal condition while observing the giant eagle outside the cave. He was almost dumbfounded.

How could such a huge eagle appear in a perfectly good martial arts world?

Or is this eagle a specialty of the Tongtianling remote region?

He subconsciously looked at Jiang Li... Among these people, Chu Qing was undoubtedly the most skilled in martial arts, while Jiang Li was the most knowledgeable.

Of course, the shepherd boy is one too.

However, the shepherd boy and Jiang Li had different ideas. The shepherd boy knew all about rare treasures and the like.

You Zong passed on to her the "Record of Rare Treasures," which records many strange and wonderful things.

But when it comes to understanding this world, it has to be Jiang Li…

But Jiang Li's pupils contracted:
"Could this be the legendary Sky Eagle of the Desolate Territory!?"

"And sterilization?"

Chu Qing didn't understand, but was greatly shocked.

While the two were talking, the so-called Territory Sky Eagle seemed to have finished its observation. The next moment, its figure disappeared from the cave entrance. However, Chu Qing knew that it had not given up and left, but instead circled in mid-air and charged back again.

The enormous eagle beak, like an indestructible spear, plunged fiercely into the ice cave.

Chu Qing's face darkened:
"You beast, you're asking for death!"

Without any warning, Chu Qing and the shepherd boy had already switched places.

He placed one hand on the shepherd girl's back, channeling his inner energy into her, while his other hand reached out and struck the eagle's beak directly.

Chu Qing didn't care what the Territory Sky Eagle was; if it wanted to devour people, it would have to pay a price.

There was a muffled thud.

The eagle's beak was extremely hard; Chu Qing's palm strike failed to shatter it, but the immense force severely injured the eagle, sending it flying backward.

Feeling dazed and disoriented, forgetting their instinct to fly, they plummeted straight down the mountain.

Just as it was about to be crushed to death halfway up the mountain, it regained its senses, spun around, stirred up a fierce wind, and once again soared straight into the sky.

But looking at the small entrance to the ice cave again, he didn't dare to come back.

The blow Chu Qing had just dealt it had left it with considerable psychological trauma, causing it to hesitate and not move forward.

Inside the ice cave, after Chu Qing helped the shepherd girl tidy up, her condition improved.

Jiang Li then shared what she knew with everyone.

"Since ancient times, Tongtianling, which divides the world into four regions and one state, has been filled with countless mysteries..."

“The Sky Eagle of the Desolate Region is one of them.”

"Some people went deep into Tongtianling and said they had seen huge eagles that blotted out the sky."

"Its body is covered in white feathers, without a single stray hair. Its wingspan can reach tens of feet. When it flies overhead, the shadow it casts is like the arrival of night."

"They dwell high up, with fire snakes in their beaks and bodies impervious to blades and spears. If provoked, they can sweep their wings and unleash a fierce wind like a blade, just like the sword energy and blade light unleashed by a peerless master."

"A pair of eagle claws, with the power to crush gold and sever jade."

"Therefore, these busybodies call it the Sky Eagle of the Desolate Region!"

"However, very few people have seen it. Many people have come to Tongtianling after hearing the news, but have searched for many years without success."

"On the contrary, many people died in Tongtianling because of this... Gradually, this legend was regarded as a lie."

"But over the centuries, there have always been a few scattered individuals who claim to have seen the Sky Eagle of the Desolate Region."

"Although each time a group of curious people would come to Tongtian Ridge to search, no one ever found it..."

"Who would have thought that the so-called Sky Eagle of the Desolate Region does not live below Tongtian Ridge, but is active on this peak tens of millions of feet high."

The summit of Tongtian Ridge is too dangerous; even the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors would not easily risk it unless they were unparalleled masters.

It's quite reasonable that such a mysterious giant eagle lives in such a remote place, and no one knows about it.

Chu Qing withdrew her hand from the shepherd boy and asked softly:
"how do you feel?"

The shepherd boy slumped weakly into Chu Qing's arms and said softly:
"I feel...so uncomfortable...I can't breathe. Do you want to give me mouth-to-mouth resuscitation?"

Her watery eyes looked at Chu Qing.

Chu Qing's lips twitched:
Wipe your drool.

"what!?"

The shepherd boy was startled and quickly reached out to wipe his mouth, only to find it completely clean. He was momentarily stunned.
"Where is it?"

"I was just kidding. I've seen through your evil intentions, haven't I?"

Chu Qing snorted.

Jiang Li couldn't help but burst out laughing:
"The courage of the shepherd girl is truly admirable."

The shepherd boy blushed slightly, glanced at Jiang Li and Wu Qianhuan, and saw that they were all smiling, making him even more embarrassed.

Gentle hummed as she spoke:

"Come, come, you don't need Third Brother's help. How about I help you with your breathing? Don't worry, my breathing is long and steady, I definitely won't let you choke."

"Oh dear, what kind of inappropriate and lewd words are you spouting?"

The shepherd boy was too embarrassed to stay nestled in Chu Qing's arms any longer, so he scrambled out and went to playfully wrestle with Wenrou.

Chu Qing pulled her up:
"Don't be silly. The air here is thin. I've transferred some internal energy to you, which will help you for a while."

"However, if you act recklessly and your breathing becomes too intense, you might experience oxygen deprivation..."

What does "lack of oxygen" mean?

"I just can't breathe."

Chu Qing frowned slightly and turned to look towards the entrance of the ice cave:
"That beast is still here..."

"We don't know much about this Territory Sky Eagle, but since it's an eagle, they're probably all pretty much the same."

“This creature is intelligent and holds grudges. You just slapped it, and it probably holds a grudge against you.”

Jiang Li said:

"However, having learned from the previous experience, it dares not come over to cause trouble easily."

"I reckon they're waiting for the right opportunity."

"Heh... It's just an eagle, only a little bigger and tougher, yet it dares to seek revenge?"

"It seems that if we don't deal with it, we will definitely be blocked by it if we want to cross Tongtian Ridge, which will only add more variables to our plans."

Chu Qing stood up:

"Wait here, I'll be right back."

Eagles hold grudges, so a peaceful resolution is probably impossible. Although Chu Qing considers his [Immortal Wind and Flowing Clouds] to be the best lightness skill in the world, he is still struggling to make a peace.

But even standing in Tongtian Ridge, one dares not compare oneself to the Desolate Sky Eagle, which has entrenched itself atop the ridge for countless years.

They decided to kill the Sky Eagle of the Desolate Region first, and then leave with everyone.

He arrived at the cave entrance and immediately saw the eagle circling in mid-air.

Just as Jiang Li said, this eagle was indeed magnificent.

Its entire body is pure white, the same color as snow, without a single feather of a different color. Its enormous body twirls in mid-air, yet it is extremely agile.

It cut through the wind silently, making it difficult to detect even at close range. It seemed to possess an innate ability to conceal its presence... otherwise, Chu Qing wouldn't have only become aware of its presence when it was almost right next to him.

At this moment, the eagle's eyes were filled with a sharp, piercing light.

But when it saw Chu Qing, its sharp eyes held a hint of mockery.

It seems to be mocking something...

It wasn't until it flew around twice in mid-air that Chu Qing finally understood.

"You wretched creature, how dare you mock my inability to fly?"

Seeing its smugness, thinking that Chu Qing couldn't do anything to it by keeping its distance, Chu Qing almost laughed out of anger.

He nodded slightly, took a step forward, and suddenly unleashed the [Immortal Wind and Flowing Clouds] technique, his entire body shooting straight towards the Sky Eagle of the Desolate Domain like an arrow released from a bow.

The next moment, the performance of the Territory Sky Eagle once again astonished Chu Qing.

Then the creature twitched its wings, as if it had been greatly frightened.

Its beak was open, its eyes were wide open, and its tongue was almost sticking out.

Without any hesitation, it turned its wings, and with a flap of its wings, a gust of wind swept towards Chu Qing, while it itself flew away into the distance with a whoosh.

With a sweep of his sleeve, Chu Qing dispelled the wind that resembled the sharpness of swords and blades.

The [Immortal Breeze and Flowing Clouds] technique unfolded, increasing its speed by three points.

Aside from that brief escape, the Sky Eagle of the Desolate Territory didn't fly very fast afterward.

He glanced back occasionally and saw that Chu Qing had chased after him again. He was terrified and suddenly increased his speed.

Chu Qing understood after a little thought.

The reason it was unhappy just now was because it thought that after Chu Qing was interrupted by that flap of its wing, he would inevitably fall off the cliff.

Who would have thought that Chu Qing could actually float in the air, almost as if riding the clouds.

Looking back, it realized that it knew Chu Qing was powerful, so it didn't dare not run away for its life.

This scene was quite magical: a divine eagle, its wingspan reaching tens of feet and blotting out the sun, was flying ahead, almost sending sparks flying from its wings, as it fled for its life.

A person followed behind, seemingly floating aimlessly in mid-air as they chased after them.

In this very place at the summit of Tongtian Ridge, no one can see it at all.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain if it got out.

However, as Chu Qing chased after it, he felt more and more that this Territory Sky Eagle was rare, and its speed was almost on par with his own [Immortal Wind and Flowing Clouds].

If they hadn't already become enemies, Chu Qing would have really wanted to find a way to take it over.

However, eagles are inherently unruly, and since there is already enmity between them, it would be extremely difficult to subdue them.

It's better to kill them sooner rather than later.

Seeing that the distance was about right, Chu Qing was about to tap with her finger.

This finger is the "Awakening of Insects" finger from the "Awakening of Gods" finger technique.

But at that moment, a fire appeared on the summit of Tongtian Ridge.

"Yin gives rise to Yang, Yang gives rise to Yin... In this extremely cold place, there really is fire?"

Chu Qing was taken aback.

Just as they were about to take a closer look, they heard a cry of an eagle. The Sky Eagle of the Desolate Region, which seemed to wish it had two more wings, suddenly swooped down and caught the flame in its talons in the next moment.

Chu Qing then realized that it was not a flame at all, but a giant serpent with a cylindrical body as red as flames!

The snake was caught in the eagle's claws, and with a sweep of its beak, the eagle plucked something from the snake's belly and swallowed it.

Even in the eyes of the Sky Eagle of the Desolate Territory, a glimmer of fire was reflected.

His aura surged instantly!

"Could it be a snake gall? This thing... is probably quite rare!"

Chu Qing had a thought, and saw the Heavenly Eagle of the Desolate Domain loosen its claws, causing the giant snake's corpse to fall to the ground.

The Sky Eagle of the Desolate Domain began circling around the surrounding peaks, constantly chasing after Chu Qing.

Although it possesses wisdom, how can it compare to Chu Qing?
Chu Qing had already figured it out: the giant snake's gall bladder, or something else, was of great benefit to the Sky Eagle of the Desolate Territory. It planned to evade Chu Qing's pursuit while capturing the snake and eating the highly nutritious substance to enhance its own strength and then compete with Chu Qing.

However, why did it only do this now when it had the chance to do such a good thing in the past?
There might be some danger involved...

With that thought in mind, I wasn't in a hurry anymore.

The surrounding area was filled with mountains that looked like bamboo shoots, so he found a place to land.

Watching the eagle's performance, my gaze swept across the area and I noticed several bright red eggs nearby.

These eggs are quite large, each about six or seven inches long, with a bright red body and black stripes inside.

"This is... a snake gall? The egg of the Territory Sky Eagle would probably be much smaller..."

Chu Qing was a little curious, so he reached out and grabbed one.

I shook it gently twice, but the snake embryo inside was not yet fully formed.

The two eagles from the Desolate Realm were having a good time when they used their pure Yang fire energy to cook the snake egg.

Crack open the eggshell, and steam rises, releasing a fragrant aroma.

Having been traveling for so long without eating, he checked and confirmed that it was not poisonous, so he simply took a bite.

Upon tasting it, one can smell the aroma of eggs. After swallowing it, a warm current surges through the body, and one's internal energy seems to increase slightly.

Chu Qing's eyes lit up immediately:
"It's indeed a good thing!"

There are actually quite a few things in the world that can increase internal strength, but most of them have only ordinary effects.

With Chu Qing's current martial arts skills, anything that could increase his internal strength even slightly would be a treasure of the martial arts world.

Although this wisp of internal energy was not important to Chu Qing, it was far from enough to help him break through.

But for Wenrou and Mutong'er, this was a rare and precious thing.

There are quite a few snake eggs here. I'll collect them and take them back to share with them.

He finished the snake egg in a few bites and immediately felt satisfied.

But while the Sky Eagle was catching a snake among the peaks, an unexpected incident occurred...

Although Chu Qing guessed something, he was not omniscient or omnipotent after all.

This snake is nameless, but it is a natural enemy of the Sky Eagle of the Desolate Region.

Snake gallbladders can enhance the abilities of the Sky Eagle of the Desolate Region, but they also contain a deadly poison.

The Sky Eagle of the Desolate Territory only needs to eat one every ten days or half a month, which doesn't affect anything as it can digest naturally... But now it's impatient for quick success and wants to improve itself as fast as possible so as to make things difficult for Chu Qing.

After swallowing several snake gallbladders in succession, a numbing sensation suddenly came over him.

Now that its body was stiff, the giant snake that roamed between the mountain peaks noticed an opportunity. Suddenly, a giant snake darted out, coiled around the Sky Eagle of the Desolate Territory, and opened its mouth to bite down on its neck.

But with a sweep of the eagle's beak, the snake's head instantly shattered.

Entangled by the snake's corpse, it crashed heavily among the peaks.

The next moment, countless giant, crimson snakes emerged from the gap, trapping the Desolate Sky Eagle within.

Knowing it had messed up and was now facing certain death, its eyes filled with sorrow. When it looked up at Chu Qing, who was now standing in mid-air, it even had a hint of pleading in its gaze.

Chu Qing thought she was seeing things, but upon closer inspection, the look in those eyes was indeed pleading, leaving her both amused and exasperated.

"Little bird, this won't do either."
