Chapter 165 Brother Eagle, We Are Destined to Meet

Chen Xu stood on the cliff top, listening to the urgent cries of eagles below.

In the midst of the raging storm, he couldn't help but take another step forward, getting even closer to the edge of the cliff.

The wind howled fiercely, and the flying sand and stones made a rustling sound.

Chen Xu's five senses and six consciousnesses, however, were like a light veil falling and mercury spilling onto the ground, imperceptibly penetrating the many barriers of the wind, rain, and perilous cliff, imprinting everything below the cliff into his mind.

It was indeed a cave carved into a cliff face, with a huge rock cleverly concealing the entrance.

The space beside the cave was about the size of a normal room. Clumps of withered grass covered the ground, and on the grass lay two fluffy baby eagles whose wings had not yet fully grown.

At the same time, something long and thin emerged from deep within the cave.

The creature stretched out its inverted triangular head, its dark body disappearing into the depths of the cave. Only a pair of cold eyes hovered at the bend in the cave, silently watching the three eagles inside—one large and two small.

If the eagle hadn't been the first to become alert, the slender creature in the deep cave would have launched a sneak attack at some point.

This is a snake, a snake with a head about the thickness of a human arm, but its exact length is unknown.

At this moment, a snake and three eagles stood in silent confrontation in the dim cave.

If this snake were outside the cave, it would be no match for the eagle, but it was inside the cave where space was limited.

Outside the cave are sheer cliffs, and the fighting power of the two eaglets is negligible. The adult eagle is not only limited by the terrain and has difficulty flying, but also has to protect the two eaglets, which hinders it at every turn.

Regardless of why the eagle's nest is in a cave, and why there are snakes in the cave, let's just talk about what's in front of us.

The eagle and the snake faced off, both lying in wait, neither moving an inch.

Time passed slowly, and all that could be heard outside the cave was the ceaseless wind and rain, while inside the cave, all was deathly silent.

Suddenly, at a certain moment, it seemed that the sound of rainwater rolling down the rocks outside the cave suddenly intensified, and the eagle and snake inside the cave suddenly sprang up at the same time.

It moves like a snake, as swift as lightning, and its talons tear through the air.

The two sides clashed in close combat, locked in a fierce battle, like eagles swooping and snakes coiling, their venomous fangs gleaming and their sharp claws sucking blood.

Just as the eagle seemed to have the upper hand, a snake's head suddenly shot out from the side, twisting violently from an unbelievable angle.

"Chirp!"

The eaglet cried out in alarm, and the adult eagle hastily retreated to protect it.

At the critical moment, the eagle unleashed extraordinary power, and several iron feathers suddenly flew off its wings.

Whoosh whoosh!
Iron feathers ripped through the dark cave space, piercing through the two snakes' bodies seven inches deep in an instant with overwhelming force.

The raised snake bodies crashed to the ground, their hissing still lingering, but both snakes had already been fatally killed.

With a thud, the snake's body rolled into the cave, kicking up dust.

At the same time, Chen Xu heard the mournful cry of an eagle.

The eagle clearly killed the two snakes, so why did it cry out mournfully?
Chen Xu's mind was focused on the battle in the cave below, so he quickly understood what was happening.

It turned out that the eagle had used up all its strength to shoot out its iron feathers in that explosive burst.

It was not originally a demon, but merely an exceptionally magnificent ordinary bird of prey.

But just as "gods were originally made from mortals," certain animals and birds with sufficient spirituality may also become demons if they are given the opportunity.

Just now, when the eaglet was in danger, the eagle gathered its blood and energy, and its body underwent a strange change.

They learned without a teacher, shooting out feathers purely on instinct.

This is the first step to "becoming a demon".

However, this outburst also exhausted the eagle's own vital energy to the extreme. After shooting down the two snakes, blood was gushing out from between its wings where feathers had fallen off.

It let out a mournful cry, and its once magnificent body involuntarily collapsed to the ground.

The two eaglets were even more frightened and began to chirp mournfully.

The torrential rain continued, and the wind howled and surged. The whole world was shrouded in mist and rain, and it seemed that no living being knew that, on the cliff face beneath the downpour, two young eagles were crying out helplessly. And yet another large eagle, which once possessed the potential to become a demon, had now stepped onto the edge of death.

Except for Chen Xu, who was on the cliff top.

Chen Xu had witnessed a thrilling battle between wild beasts, and at that moment he still had a wonderful feeling of witnessing the vibrant life.

In nature, hunting and being hunted are ubiquitous.

This also seems to be part of the magnificence of life.

Regardless of stance or right or wrong, it's all just a survival instinct.

Compared to the human world, the life and death among wild beasts is obviously infinitely purer.

Logically, Chen Xu should not interfere in the fight between the eagle and the snake.

But now that the snake was dead, Chen Xu decided to follow his own will.

Hearing the cries of the eaglet, he lightly leaped down the cliff.

With the wind raging, performing the Wind Summoning Technique was many times more difficult than usual under these weather conditions.

Chen Xu lost control and was nearly blown by the strong wind into the cliff face.

Fortunately, he was physically strong and agile.

So, in the instant the fierce wind pressed down, he grabbed onto a protruding rock on the cliff with one hand, leaped forward, and immediately jumped into the eagle cave, which was half-hidden by a boulder.

"Chirp!"

"Wow—"

The three eagles in the cave were all startled, especially the large eagle that had been lying weakly on the ground. It suddenly raised its head, its eyes widened sharply, and its gaze shot towards Chen Xu.

Outside the cave, a few raindrops slanted into the cave.

Chen Xu waved his hand to clear away the wind and rain, and then took out a lantern from his Xuanmingxu space and lit it.

The lantern's light illuminated the darkness inside the cave. The two eaglets, startled by the light, forgot to cry out and simply stared blankly at Chen Xu with their little heads upright.

The eagle suddenly tilted its head to the side and let out a clear cry.

Compared to the two dazed eaglets, the adult eagle was clearly much more intelligent.

It had recognized Chen Xu as the "big bird" that had competed with it before. Although it was still wary, its overall emotions were clearly very stable.

It was carefully observing what Chen Xu was about to do.

Chen Xu hung the lantern on a protruding rock on the cave wall, and listening to the pattering rain outside the cave, he slowly took a step forward.

The withered grass rustled underfoot, feeling soft and velvety.

The stench of a dead snake's blood was overwhelming.

Chen Xu held the little hedgehog, who was still drunk and asleep, with his left hand, while a handful of demonic puppet bone powder appeared in his right palm.

This was bone powder left over from when Chen Xu killed the inn's demonic puppet. There was still a small handful left, which Chen Xu stored in the Smoke and Fire Kitchen.

This medicine, whether taken internally or applied externally, has the effect of healing wounds and curing diseases.

It is not suitable for humans to consume; only demons can use it.

I wonder if the giant eagle in front of me is a demon, and if I can eat it.
Chen Xu said in a gentle voice, "Brother Eagle, we just flew together for a while, which can be considered fate. Now that you are injured, I happen to have some medicine. Would you like to try taking it?"

He felt as if he were luring a small animal, so he smiled slightly and said, "It can heal wounds, Brother Eagle, why don't you have some?"

Hmm, it looks even more like it now?
Chen Xu simply stopped talking and suddenly blew out a breath.

The bone powder floated up into the air and came to the edge of the eagle's beak.
