Chapter 36: Escaping the Eagle Cave
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After climbing up for a day and night, the Ye family members finally arrived at the top of the Seven Stars Mountain.
Throughout the day, the Ye family hunted over ten intermediate wild beasts. One of them was even an advanced white-headed tiger. Their results were pretty good so far.
To make it convenient for them, Ye Sheng and the rest took off the fur, horn, or teeth of the wild beasts, so they took more time around the waist of the mountain. By the time they arrived at the top of the mountain, it was already dawn.
“Let’s rest here for four hours. I’ll take guard.” Ye Sheng could tell that the younger Ye family members were terribly exhausted.
Everyone hurriedly set up their tents and went to sleep.
As the sun rose, Ye Lingyue suddenly heard Ye Sheng’s loud shout from outside her tent. She hurriedly got out.
Ye Qing and the rest also hurriedly went out and everyone saw a suspicious black shadow moving towards the cliff.
“Something happened. Let’s go.” Ye Qing said worriedly and hurriedly followed after the black shadow.
“Don’t be rash. The cliff is extremely dangerous and there are several large beasts there.” Ye Lingyue hurriedly stopped Ye Qing.
“If you fear death, you don’t have to follow us.” Ye Qing rolled his eyes at Ye Lingyue. Ye Ning and the rest were also terribly worried, so they all followed Ye Qing towards the cliff.
That black shadow had already landed by the cliff.
On top of a cliff that was several hundred yards tall, there were several healthy-looking old and tall trees, and on top of its branches, there were several large eagle nests on it.
The silver-clawed eagle was the boss at the top of the Seven Stars Mountain. Its eagle claws were enormous and could grab a grown horse right away.
“Ye Lingyue, let’s see how you’ll die this time.” Song Han’s eyes cunningly glimmered as he took out a pack of powder and threw it towards the eagle nests.
That pack of powder was a type of beast powder that Master Lian made. Once a wild beast takes a whiff, it would go feral. The Ye Family would shortly arrive after a while.
Song Han guffawed as he hid in the woods, waiting to see a good show. However, Song Han didn’t notice that as he threw the pack of powder away, a weird gust of wind blew from the bottom of the cliff, and some powder got blown to the helm of Song Han’s shirt.
By the time Ye Qing and the rest arrived at the cliff, there was no one around. They didn’t even see Ye Sheng.
Hoo…
Hearing a weird wind sound trail from the bottom of the cliff, Ye Qing, who was closest to it, looked down.
However, one look and Ye Qing felt like his head was going to explode.
By the scarily high cliff, several hundreds of intermediate wild silver-clawed eagles suddenly rushed over.
It had sensed humans. It was the silver-clawed eagles’ mating season this time of the year, and any human approaching them would make them extremely anxious.
“Move away quickly.” Taking in an icy breath, Ye Qing called out to tell the group to retreat immediately.
A silver-clawed eagle spread its sharp claw and grabbed Ye Qing’s shoulder. With a loud tear, it punched a large hole in Ye Qing’s protective gear.
By then, Ye Lingyue had also rushed over. Looking ahead of her, countless silver-clawed eagles were flying over the cliff like a dark cloud hanging over them.
The silver-clawed eagles surrounded Ye Qing, as well as two others, and they couldn’t escape at all.
Instantly, Ye Lingyue took out a dark iron arrow and threw it towards the iron-clawed eagle leading the herd.
It was indeed an arrow made from 50% dark iron ore. With a dark glimmer, it pierced through a silver-clawed eagle’s wing and the eagle fell in an instant.
The sudden arrow made the herd of silver-clawed eagles extremely shocked. They all beat their wings and flew higher.
“Squeak!” Squeaky seemed to have found something and jumped onto Ye Lingyue’s shoulder. It then pointed at the woods beside them. Glancing over, Ye Lingyue found Song Han.
‘Song Han, that little…’ Seeing the man, Ye Lingyue already knew what was going on.
Squeaky and Ye Lingyue could read each other’s minds, so it already knew what was going on with a glance at its owner’s eyes.
“Squeak!”
Da Huang barked loudly before it pounced towards the woods.
Song Han never thought that someone would discover him. Hearing a weird noise by his ears, he turned around and saw a large dog pouncing onto him with a dark glint in his eyes.
He didn’t know what was wrong with that big dog. It furiously attacked him like a wild beast red-eyed from killing. It ran and chased after Song Han.
Alarmed, Song Han ran towards the cliff and into the herd of eagles.
The moment Song Han appeared, the Ye family members instantly understood what was going on.
“Song Han, why are you here?” Ye Qing’s eyes were completely red as he immediately understood what was happening.
“He was that black shadow earlier and intentionally lured us to the cliff.” Ye Lingyue entered the fighting circle.
“Ye Lingyue, don’t slander me.” Having no other option after Da Huang had chased Song Han out, he got furious. Since he was out in the open, several silver-clawed eagles came after him and injured him all over.
However, at that moment, a loud screech rang and everyone felt their eardrums throbbing from it.
From the depths of the cliff, a silver-clawed eagle king flew up into the sky. Every bit of its silver features seemed covered in oil, glowing in the light. Its pair of claws even emitted a cold spark.
It was an advanced beast, the silver-clawed eagle king.
Even Ye Lingyue’s scalp turned numb at the sight. The silver-clawed eagle king was a king amongst the advanced wild beast. Even a practitioner at the eighth level of body tempering might not be at par with it, not to mention Ye Lingyue’s group that was at the sixth level of body tempering at most.
As if smelling the beast powder on Song Han, the silver-clawed eagle immediately grabbed Song Han.
“Save me!”
Song Han cried out incessantly, but who would be able to take care of him at that moment?
The silver-clawed eagle king threw him down the cliff and his voice echoed in the abyss for a few seconds before it disappeared.
After the silver-clawed eagle king had killed someone, the murderous intent on it grew thicker.
“Sister Ye Ning, immediately send a signal out for the others. Everyone, push your backs against each other and try to break out of the circle by force.” Ye Lingyue knew that it would be hard for them to remain unscathed today. If they got distracted, no one would be able to leave the place.
The silver-clawed eagle king had already scared the remaining of them that they were in a daze. Hearing Ye Lingyue’s instructions, they hurriedly followed and pressed their backs against each other and faced the silver-clawed eagles surrounding them.
The silver-clawed eagle king hovered in the air for a moment before its enormous wings trembled and spread apart, creating a crazy storm.
Instantly, all four of them, including Ye Lingyue, were lifted from the ground and it looked like they were about to fall into the crazy tall abyss.
The silver-clawed eagle king’s sharp claws grabbed Ye Lingyue, and within a second, Ye Lingyue’s eyes shined ruthlessly as she grabbed the silver-clawed eagle king’s sharp claws instead.
“Flying dagger, go!”
With a loud buzz, the flying dagger stabbed into the silver-clawed eagle king’s abdomen and blood instantly poured out of it.
It cried out as a thick wave of pain overwhelmed it. The silver-clawed eagle king that had been ruling over the Seven Stasr Mountain was badly injured and its body hit against the mountain cliff. Ye Lingyue fell as well and then rolled down the cliff.
In her panic, Ye Lingyue felt a few vines under her hands. Just as she was about to grab them, countless silver-clawed eagles flew towards her and ruthlessly pecked at her.
