Chapter 139 – The Giant Eagle (1/2)

Translated by Sunyancai

The two serpents were much larger than Shao Xuan, even without their special scales. They were slowly moving towards Shao Xuan and Chacha.

Strangely enough, Shao Xuan saw a kind of ridicule in their cold eyes.

Though witnessing the retreat of their own kind under the sword of Shao Xuan, they didn’t come to help, but kept observing from those high branches. They seemed to have been using him to test out the actual strength of Shao Xuan. As they now found that Shao Xuan was too exhausted to pose a threat to them, and they were also attracted by the seemingly delicious little eagle beside Shao Xuan. Finally, they climbed down from the tree slowly.

The two serpents started approaching Shao Xuan slowly in the special way they crawl.

Just as Shao Xuan was contemplating whether to duke it out or try to escape while carrying Chacha, a shrill eagle scream came from the sky all of a sudden.

The scream not only shocked the silent forest, but also interrupted the slow pace of the serpents.

The serpents seemed to sense something using their tongues, and stopped approaching Shao Xuan and Chacha.

Shao Xuan’s heart started beating violently.

It must be an eagle.

Eagles and snakes were each other’s nemesis. Either the former ate the latter, or the latter ate the former.

Of course, Shao Xuan and Chacha were too weak to threaten the two serpents.

Weak creatures could hardly survive in this forest.

Chacha turned his head, shifting his attention from the serpents to the sky

Whoosh!

A great figure flew over their heads.

It seemed that the two serpents were wavering between whether to leave or not. At the same time, the great figure flew over again. However, this time it directly flew through the dense twigs above with force.

It tore apart the dense twigs with its two big claws, showing an eagle head as large as Chacha himself.

It must be another Giant Mountain Eagle, Shao Xuan thought.

This one could be considered large from among the Giant Mountain Eagles. Compared to it, Chacha was just like a kid in kindergarten.

Ferociously staring at the two serpents on the ground, the giant eagle dived towards them.

The twigs cracked!

Countless twigs broke off and fell down like rain.

Shao Xuan hurriedly carried Chacha and hid. He did not dare to immediately escape, because the giant eagle could fend off the serpents here. However, they might come across more serpents if they just ran away.

So it was better to stay here and check the situation first.

Flying aggressively through the twigs, the giant eagle fell down with its big claws grasping a branch that even 10 people could not embrace, leaving many hollow spots.

However, the space below the forest was still a little bit narrow for the eagle to

stretch its wings, which adversely affected its flexibility to a large extent. Even so, its claws still strongly struck the serpent.

The eagle smashed the serpent with its claws swiftly and violently onto the ground, and then pecked it with its pointy beak that was as sharp as a blade.

The other serpent wanted to help its companion, but only managed to bite a few eagle feathers and then was slapped by the eagle wing.

Normally, eagles would hunt in a wider space than a dense forest, unless they were trapped in them. Besides, it was likely for their wings to be injured by twigs. Even if the eagle had tougher wings than ordinary birds, it wasn’t really free from its influence.

Shao Xuan dared not to help the eagle because he would do a disservice to it if he joined in the battle of the three giant beasts.

The giant eagle grasped the injured serpent and threw it against the thick branch vigorously. The other serpent tried to bite the eagle and was whipped using the captured serpent.

Bang!

The head of the serpent bumped against the branch over and over again, with every vigorous slam leaving a dent on the branch.

Shao Xuan laughed with his mouth wide open. The eagle was indeed a master in this aspect, and was apparently skillful in using a serpent like a whip. It was his first time seeing an eagle using a snake as a whip like this.

The giant eagle seemed to know well about its weaknesses in a forest, thus dealt with its preys in an easier way.

Chacha was also shocked by the scene, but it soon became excited and yearned to hold the serpent like that and throw it around a few times.

Finally, the serpent that was thrown around began to feel dizzy and was ripped apart by the eagle’s beak without finding an opportunity to bite its claw.

Its thick and hard skin had been pecked many times, there was brown and green blood everywhere. Every time when it was pecked by the eagle’s beak, a piece of the serpent’s flesh was torn off.

The other serpent tried to escape, so the giant eagle put down the wounded one to capture it.

Finally, both the serpents fell under the eagle’s claws.

After pecking and tearing apart the two serpents, the giant eagle threw one of them to Shao Xuan and Chacha with its claw, and then fluttered its wings while holding the other one. It seemed that the eagle intended to leave and find another place to enjoy its prey.

The thrown serpent was apparently a charity from the giant eagle. But how could Shao Xuan give up this opportunity just for that?

So he carried Chacha and rushed towards the eagle with all his strength.
