Chapter 289: Chapter 289: Deep into the Lair

Yesterday evening, both of them had not eaten anything, and today they were so busy building a house that they had starved all day, now both were so hungry their eyes were practically glowing green.

Once they arrived at the cliff, they didn’t waste any words.

One flung the Vines down for a rapid descent, while the other summoned the Wind Blade and, treading on air, descended through the clouds.

Both used their Special Abilities, neither helping the other, nor needing to.

They moved along the cliffside effortlessly as though walking on flat ground, finally spotting many caves a hundred yards away on the cliff face.

Perhaps formed during a fracturing of the earth’s surface, the entrances to these caves, which should have been empty, were now piled high with glistening white bones.

With such an abundance of bones, one might mistake the place for a Goblin Cave.

The two exchanged a tacit glance and quickly locked onto their target, presuming this was the old nesting grounds of the Man-eating Eagles.

They adeptly chose a cave and alighted within, their descent so light that they made not a sound upon landing.

The pair stealthily crept in; on entering, they were met with a stench so foul it nearly knocked them out.

Both had exceptional senses, and the stench nearly made them faint, not knowing the depth of the cave that twisted and turned out of sight.

Without a word, Bai Junjun and Li Wenli covered their noses with their sleeves and continued deeper inside.

The fragmentation of the mountain was not a simple straight crack; within this fissure were countless branching offshoots, but fortunately, these branches weren’t deep and could be seen to their ends.

Luckier still, every offshoot ended with a shabbily constructed bird’s nest, most of which contained a large bird egg.

These eggs were not small, each being the size of a human head.

The owner of the cave was now nowhere to be seen, and besides the eggs, there was nothing else inside.

So Bai Junjun and Li Wenli unceremoniously set about moving the eggs.

But whether it was the size of the eggs or the Man-eating Eagle’s mating habits, favoring quality over quantity, they raided seven or eight nests to find but one egg in each, and the most they found in any nest was two.

After their pillaging, the pair had acquired ten eggs in total, all swiftly tossed into the Space.

Just as they thought to continue deeper, a noise suddenly came from one of the crevices.

Li Wenli, quick-eyed and agile, grabbed Bai Junjun’s hand and they hid behind a rock wall, then saw a cumbersome Human Eagle lumbering out of a fissure.

The Man-eating Eagle stood taller than Li Wenli, its body more than five times their size.

Clutched in the Eagle’s beak was a Flower Snake; bleeding profusely, it struggled in its death throes.

That indicated the Eagle had just gone hunting.

Perhaps within these vast canyon walls and caves, apart from this group of Man-eating Eagles, there were many other species, which, to the Eagles, were mere snacks to be had when bored or peckish, while their main course naturally consisted of the humans up above, emitting the fragrance of decaying flesh.

The unsuspecting Eagle had no idea that, while it was away alleviating its boredom, bold thieves had sneaked into its nest.

Returning to its abode leisurely, the Eagle was stunned upon sighting the empty nest.

It scrambled around, but the nest was barren!

Eyeing the empty Eagle’s Nest, the Man-eating Eagle’s feathers bristled, and with its sharp beak, it let out a screeching cry that nearly pierced their eardrums.

As it cried out angrily, the Flower Snake, free from restraint, fell to the ground and struggled, but before it could escape, the Eagle stamped on it, hooked its beak into the snake, viciously ripping and tearing until the snake’s life was abruptly snuffed out.
