Chapter 182 Giant Winged Demon Eagle

Valley of the Demon Eagle.

Looking at the Kunyuan Palace at the bottom of the valley, which was identical in style to the Kunyuan Palace in Qinghu Lake, and then at the demonic eagles circling in the sky, Shen Xu couldn't help but feel a little worried about the plan that was to be carried out that night.

After all, they had to venture deep into the demon eagle's nest and face a giant-winged demon eagle at the Qi Condensation Realm. He was not only worried about his cooperation with Zuo Chen, but also about Xiao Ruohuang's ability to use the Crimson Demon Phoenix Fire.

But apart from this method, he couldn't think of any other way to break through the numerous giant-winged demonic eagles' layers of blockade against the Kunyuan Palace before him. Moreover, this method had the lowest risk and the highest reward, and he couldn't think of any reason not to try it.

“We’ve practiced many times, and with Ruohuang’s cooperation, we can imitate a trace of the Crimson Phoenix’s essence. With just this trace of essence, no flying demon beast at the Qi Condensation Realm can resist her fiery skirt,” Zuo Chen said, coming to his side to comfort him.

"A drill is just a drill, and no one can predict what will happen. Moreover, this time we need to go deep into the middle of many demonic eagles. I'm afraid we'll be discovered before we even get to that giant winged demonic eagle at the Qi Condensation Realm."

“Then let’s show Ruohuang’s Fire Phoenix Wings in advance. It’ll be easy for her to retreat. Besides, this is just a shortcut. If it succeeds, great; if it doesn’t, we won’t lose anything,” Zuo Chen said with a smile.

"How could it be considered a trick if we tamed the giant winged demon eagle with our strength! I am determined to get that giant winged demon eagle!" Xiao Ruohuang said with a determined look at the mountaintop in the distance.

Seeing Xiao Ruohuang's serious expression, Shen Xu smiled and said, "Since the protagonist is so confident, we who are just there to support him shouldn't spoil his fun!"

Zuo Chen also said with a smile, "Moreover, with this giant winged demon eagle, we can do a lot more. The two Kunyuan Palaces of the Five Mountains Society and the Golden Rainbow Society are like flat ground for us."

We could even reach any alliance's base within two days, and then we could go together to see the Kunyuan Hall of the Fire Alliance.

The moonlight, as silvery as silver, spilled over the peaks of the towering mountains. On a solitary cliff, nests of withered wood were placed, and the massive bodies of numerous giant-winged demon eagles lay quietly within them.

These giant eagles each have a body the size of an adult, and an astonishing wingspan. Their eye sockets are deep-set, and even when they are asleep, they occasionally reveal a sharp glint that is not easily detected.

On the cliff, five or six huge black figures were constantly circling, patrolling back and forth between the valley and the cliff. They scanned the ground with their extremely sharp eyes. Once they found any creature approaching the building in the cliff and valley, they would immediately let out a warning cry, awakening the sleeping eagles and tearing the invading enemy apart.

Below the cliff, all was silent. The night wind blew, the grass and trees whispered, and occasionally a few insects chirped, weaving a tranquil and profound scene with the peaceful night.

At this moment, three figures hidden in the darkness were quietly crouching in the grass below the cliff.

“It’s already past midnight, and the eagles are sleeping soundly at this time. We should set off,” Zuo Chen suddenly said.

"Okay, remember not to step out of the fog!" As Shen Xu's voice fell, a light white fog gradually enveloped a large area around the three of them.

"I understand!" Xiao Ruohuang said in a low voice, somewhat excited.

The giant winged demon eagles are strictly hierarchical, with the higher-ranking eagles residing closer to the top of the cliff. Their target was naturally the largest deadwood nest at the very top of the cliff.

As the three continued forward, they encountered more and more nests around them, and the giant winged demon eagles inside grew larger and larger. Their feathers shimmered with a ghostly blue luster under the moonlight, as if they were draped in a mysterious veil.

An eagle's beak opened and closed slightly, as if it were murmuring in a dream, its long feathers trembling gently, as if it might wake up from its dream at any moment and spread its wings to take flight.

However, this tranquility did not last long. Suddenly, a demonic eagle shook its wings and opened its eyes, as if it had sensed some subtle change.

Looking at its surroundings, a flicker of wariness crossed its eyes, but after realizing it was merely a disturbance caused by the night, it closed its eyes again.

This made the three people who were standing motionless beside the demonic eagle breathe a sigh of relief, and their violently beating hearts gradually calmed down.

None of the three dared to speak, or even exchange glances. They simply walked slowly and lightly toward the cliff in unison.

After an unknown amount of time, the three finally arrived at the enormous nest atop the mountain, bathed in moonlight.

The three of them stared at the colossal eagle before them, each feather as wide as a hand, its wingspan seemingly capable of covering an entire eagle's nest, and simultaneously swallowed hard.

But now that the die was cast, the three of them exchanged a glance and then nodded in unison.

Shen Xu unleashed the power of water to the fullest extent, and thick fog gradually enveloped the entire enormous nest.

At this moment, the enormous winged demon eagle seemed to sense something and immediately opened its eyes. Its sharp, knife-like gaze swept across the surroundings, only to find that it seemed to still be in its familiar nest.

But its nest seemed to be covered with countless pink flowers, and the grass around it was lush and green, which made a hint of confusion flash in its eyes.

Suddenly, a red creature appeared before it. For some reason, it felt a kind of suppression from its bloodline on this creature, but it was very weak. So it stretched out its yellow claws and tried to grab the red figure and examine it closely.

Just as it was about to extend its claws, the red creature suddenly spread its enormous wings, which were burning with red flames.

Instantly, the surrounding air seemed to ignite, and a scorching heat rushed towards us, the flames as vivid as blood.

With a flap of its magnificent wings wreathed in flames, the fire spread rapidly, engulfing everything around it. The flowers, grass, and withered branches in its nest were instantly consumed by the flames and turned to ashes.

The red figure flickered in and out of the flames, its noble bearing and immense power filling it with utter terror—a terror that went straight to its soul, as if the creature before it was born with the right to dominate it.

Seeing the flames inside the nest spreading towards its body, it seemed to forget that it had wings. Trembling, it lowered its proud head towards the red figure, and the red figure followed its lowered head and stood on its body.

As the powerful figure stepped onto its back, the surrounding flames gradually died down. It looked around and found that its lair had been reduced to ashes, while its minions were staring at the powerful creature on its back with bloodlustful eyes and letting out angry howls.

This angered it, and it let out a loud cry that instantly silenced all the giant winged demon eagles around it.

At that moment, a thick fog slowly drifted towards the head of the enormous winged demon eagle...
