Even without their specialized scales, the two snakes were still much thicker than Shao Xuan. They slowly approached Shao Xuan and Chacha.
Strangely, Shao Xuan saw a trace of mockery in their cold eyes.
They had seen Shao Xuan defeat their own kind, but did not help. Instead, they watched from high up on the branches, as if they were using their own kind to test Shao Xuan's strength. Now, they realized that Shao Xuan did not have enough strength to pose a threat to them. Beside him was a delicious little eagle. Finally, they slowly came down from the tree.
The two snakes twisted their bodies and walked in an "S" shape, getting closer and closer.
Just as Shao Xuan was thinking about whether to fight one more time or carry Chacha and escape, a sharp eagle cry came from the sky.
This cry broke the silence of the forest, and also disturbed the originally slow pace of the two snakes.
The two snakes flicked their tongues, as if sensing something. However, they did not approach Shao Xuan and Chacha.
Shao Xuan's heart beat faster.
There were eagles.
Eagles and snakes were also on opposite sides here. Either you eat me, or I swallow you.
Naturally, the two snakes would not be small characters like him and Chacha if they were able to make them wary.
Weak creatures would not be able to survive in this forest.
Chacha turned its head and looked away from the two snakes to the sky.
Whoosh!
A huge figure flashed past above them.
The two snakes seemed to have the intention to leave, but were hesitating. Just as they were hesitating, the huge figure flew over again. This time, it did not just fly past them, but directly passed through the dense branches above them.
Two large claws tore through the dense branches, revealing an eagle head similar to Chacha's.
Is this also a giant mountain eagle? Shao Xuan thought.
Compared to the giant mountain eagle, Chacha looked like a toddler in kindergarten.
The giant eagle's sharp eyes looked at the two snakes on the ground and swooped down.
Crack crack crack crack!
The branches above them became brittle and broke into countless pieces. Wooden splinters fell like rain.
Shao Xuan carried Chacha and quickly ran to the side to hide. He did not dare to run away. Here, he could rely on the giant eagle to avoid the two snakes. If he ran away, there might be more of these snakes in other places.
It was better to stay here and observe the situation.
The giant eagle swooped down through the branches. When its large claws clawed on the tree trunks, ten people would not be able to encircle them, leaving holes.
When it was a few meters above the ground, the eagle claw exerted force and rushed toward one of the large snakes.
The area under the forest was still a little narrow for it. It couldn't even stretch its wings, and its agility was greatly reduced. Even so, the eagle's claws still caused a great impact to the snake.
The eagle's claws pressed down on the snake's wriggling body. The eagle's sharp beak pecked at the snake like a sharp blade.
The other snake wanted to help, but the eagle whipped its wing and only bit off a few feathers.
The eagle was supposed to hunt in a wide area, not in a dense forest. If it did not do well, it would be trapped. Moreover, the eagle's wings could be scratched by the branches. Even if the eagle's wings were tougher than those of ordinary birds, it was not completely unaffected.
Shao Xuan did not dare to help rashly. If Shao Xuan went over, the giant eagle would be restrained.
The giant eagle grabbed the big snake that had been pecked by it and flung it towards the thick tree trunk next to it with great force. At the same time, when the other snake tried to bite it, it used the snake under its claws as a whip and lashed at it.
Bang!
The snake's head hit the tree trunk again and again. Every time it hit the tree trunk, it would leave a hole.
Shao Xuan watched from the side with his mouth wide open. This eagle was indeed an expert. Looking at the way it used the snake's body as a whip, it was obvious that it was not its first time. It was very skilled. It was the first time he saw an eagle use a snake as a whip.
It seemed that this giant eagle understood where its weakness was and used a more relaxed method to deal with its prey.
Chacha, who was next to Shao Xuan, was also stunned. However, it soon became excited and wanted to grab the snake and swing it a few times.
Finally, the snake under the eagle's claws was knocked dizzy. It did not have a chance to bite the eagle's claws before it was torn apart by the eagle's beak.
The thick and solid skin had already been broken in several places. Brownish green blood flowed everywhere. Every time the eagle's beak tore the snake's skin, a piece of skin and flesh would fall off.
The other snake wanted to escape, but the giant eagle dropped the snake under its claws and grabbed at the escaping snake.
In the end, neither of the snakes managed to escape.
The giant eagle bit and tore the two snakes, then raised its claws and threw one of them towards Shao Xuan and Chacha. It grabbed the other snake and flapped its wings. It seemed that it wanted to leave this place and find a place to eat.
The snake that was thrown over was obviously the giant eagle's charity. However, how could Shao Xuan give up the opportunity to leave this place for a snake?
Shao Xuan stored his teeth knife back at his waist and ran over with Chacha.
He could see that the giant eagle did not want to kill Chacha, but Shao Xuan still had to be cautious. After running a few steps, he slowed down and observed the eagle's reaction.
The giant eagle, which was about to fly away, stopped and looked at Shao Xuan. Its sharp eyes made Shao Xuan break out in a cold sweat and feel great pressure.
Chacha, who was being carried on Shao Xuan's shoulder, was also doing his best at this time. He cried pitifully at the giant eagle, which was worthy of his usual cleverness and cheekiness.
The giant eagle stared at Shao Xuan, who was getting closer and closer. It seemed to be thinking about something, and its sharp eyes were much less sharp.
It flapped its wings and its claws vigorously pushed off the ground and flew up.
Shao Xuan grabbed Chacha's leg with one hand and jumped over. His legs clamped down on the snake's body, which had been pecked until only its spine was left. This was the only place that could be clamped down.
As the giant eagle flew up, Shao Xuan clamped down on the snake's body and hung upside down. Brownish green blood flowed all over Shao Xuan's body. Chacha, who was being held by Shao Xuan, did not feel good either. It was rarely held upside down like this.
Thanks to his strong body and the strength of a totem warrior in the tribe, Shao Xuan could carry Chacha's weight with one arm. It was not difficult for him to carry big stones in the tribe. Although Chacha was big now, it was much lighter than a stone.
During the ascent, the giant eagle could not fly freely, so it had to use the trees nearby several times. Shao Xuan and Chacha bumped into trees several times. He also felt the same as the snake just now.
Shao Xuan tried his best not to throw Chacha away.
They did not expect to be able to sit on the eagle's back and give it a ride. This eagle had a good temper. It was not related to Chacha by blood, so it did not show any affection. It was just a little friendly. Shao Xuan could not push it anymore. If he angered it, he and Chacha might end up in the eagle's mouth.
In the world of ferocious beasts, the same kind was nothing. They could still be eaten.
After rushing out of the forest, it was much easier. Shao Xuan felt that even his breathing became easier.
The giant eagle flew higher and higher, far away from the top of the forest.
This was an experienced giant eagle, unlike Chacha, who was a rookie.
The scenery on the ground became smaller and smaller. Shao Xuan's field of vision also became wider. He could see the mountains in the distance and the green forest.
Shao Xuan, who was brought high up in the sky, finally had time to observe the giant eagle.
Shao Xuan did not notice it before, but now that he observed it carefully, he found that the giant eagle's condition was not as good as he had imagined. There were some fragments on its claws that were about to fall off. The toes on its claws were also broken in two places and were bleeding. This was caused by the fight with the two snakes just now. Looking at its flying posture, it was not as fast as before. The flapping of its wings was also a little clumsy, as if it was withstanding a great weight. In fact, Shao Xuan and Chacha were nothing compared to this giant eagle. As for the snake, even if it was caught, it should not have been so heavy.
This giant eagle seemed to be struggling to fly.
Shao Xuan observed the giant eagle from its claws, to its feathers, to its beak. Because Shao Xuan often faced Chacha, when he looked at this giant eagle that looked similar to Chacha, he found that its beak was more curved than Chacha's. This kind of beak was not good for pecking prey.
Was it sick?
Or was there another reason?
It seemed to have a sharp aura, but its body was no longer sharp. A fight could bring it great pain.
It was hard to imagine that such a powerful eagle in the forest would be in such a state. If he had not observed this, Shao Xuan would have thought that it was still healthy.
As he pondered, Shao Xuan suddenly thought of a possibility.
Could it be that this eagle was already old?
He just did not know how old it was. How long would it take for Chacha to grow to this size?
A few decades?
A few hundred years?
Or even longer?
The mountain range was getting closer and closer. Shao Xuan had never been here before. Moreover, the giant eagle was flying in the direction that Chacha had flown to.
Could it be that Eagle Mountain was over there?
However, Shao Xuan did not see any other giant eagles here. If it was Eagle Mountain, why was there no eagle?
It seemed that Eagle Mountain was not here, but somewhere even further away. Shao Xuan thought to himself.
This place was only a temporary resting place for the giant eagle.
As it approached the mountain, the giant eagle began to flap its wings vigorously to pull itself up. This time, the feeling of heaviness was even more obvious. Even if Chacha was carrying Shao Xuan, it would not be so heavy.
The giant eagle finally landed on the edge of a cliff, and the strange snake was thrown to the ground. Shao Xuan also jumped down from the strange snake and carried Chacha to the side.
Shao Xuan did not touch the snake. It was the giant eagle's prey. Most fearsome beasts had a strong sense of monopolization over their prey, and would fight to the death with anyone who tried to snatch it.
Chacha also did not go over, and quietly stayed at the side with Shao Xuan.
Shao Xuan touched the animal skin bag on his body. There were two small pieces of jerky, and they were a little hard. He gave one to Chacha and ate the other one himself.
Chacha looked at the jerky in Shao Xuan's hand and was a little hesitant. It did not like this kind of meat. However, in this place, it had no choice. It could only recover after eating something.
Bang!
A piece of bloody snake meat was thrown in front of Chacha.
Chacha looked at the giant eagle that was still pecking at its food, and then looked at the fresh snake meat in front of it. It did not eat Shao Xuan's jerky.
Shao Xuan retracted his hand and gnawed on the jerky while thinking. This giant eagle had a good heart.
