Perfection: He is the Heavenly Emperor, I am the Eastern Emperor!

Chapter 25 Azure-Scaled Eagle

The cliffs were steep and the rocks were jagged, but these mischievous children seemed to belong to this wilderness by nature. They were agile and used protruding rocks and crevices as footholds to climb up quickly.

The little boy stood out among the crowd. Although he was the youngest, his speed and skill were in no way inferior to the others.

As they increased in altitude, the wind grew stronger, causing their clothes to flutter loudly. This forced them to be even more careful in finding footing to avoid being blown off by the strong winds.

Even so, their eyes were still filled with determination and excitement, as if victory was just around the corner.

Finally, as time went by, Little Dot took the lead and climbed to the top of the cliff first. After giving everyone a look, he cautiously peeked out and looked up at the cliff.

However, just one glance was enough to shock him.

The nest was ten meters long and made of black paulownia wood. It was even bigger than the houses in Stone Village and occupied most of the cliff top.

In addition, there were also some large bones covered in blood on the cliff, each one thicker and longer than the adults in their village, which made the little boy feel a chill down his spine.

The skull, in particular, with several horrifying claw holes resembling a bathtub, along with the remaining bloodstains, looked especially grotesque.

After a while, the little one, who had finally recovered, began to climb up the black bird's nest.

Upon arriving at the nest, the little creature immediately sensed a chilling aura, and the smell of blood wafted in from time to time.

He glanced around and saw that the edge of the nest was a strange dark red color, which was obviously caused by the Azure-Scaled Eagles feeding on the edge of the nest. Perhaps due to the long-term staining of various beast blood, the place had a strong malevolent aura, making people frown.

Turning to look into the nest, I found it was filled with soft golden grass, which looked very comfortable. In the middle were three bird eggs with some patterns and spots, but as clear as jade.

It must be said that the Azure-scaled Eagle is truly a peerless ferocious bird. The eggs it lays are all the size of a water basin, and they are translucent and shiny, as green as agate, and gleam in the sunlight.

"It's so beautiful!"

Looking at the three warm, glistening bird eggs that shimmered with a soft glow, the little one couldn't help but feel delighted. He blinked his big eyes, wanting to pick them up and examine them closely.

"Is this the egg of the Azure-scaled Eagle? It's so big, I've never seen one like it before."

But just then, a voice suddenly rang out beside him. The little guy turned around and saw that his friends had also climbed up.

One of the dark-skinned children almost drooled when he saw the huge bird egg, and without thinking, he quickly walked towards it.

Soon, he reached the bird's egg, but as soon as he touched the giant egg, he immediately felt a tingling, electric shock in his arm.

"What happened? What's wrong?"

This situation startled the other children, who all came forward to observe what was happening.

Before long, the little boy, who had already learned the basics of runes from Shi Yunfeng and Shi An, noticed something amiss.

It turns out it was because of the spots and patterns on the eggshell.

They are actually a kind of rune, containing mysterious power. If you accidentally touch them, you will be impacted.

After hearing the little one's explanation, the children were both surprised and delighted, because the stronger the ferocious bird, the rarer the hatchlings would be, and they could definitely be used to protect the village in the future, and might even be comparable to the sacrificial spirits of some tribes.

Having made up their minds, the children immediately took out the animal skin bags they had prepared beforehand and carefully put several bird eggs inside.

"I really didn't expect that we would actually succeed."

"Once these eggs hatch, the village will be protected by a powerful ferocious bird. At that time, the clan chief and Uncle Lin Hu will definitely be more convinced of our abilities and treat us differently."

········

Looking at the collected bird eggs, the children were overjoyed, and they all showed proud smiles, as if they could already see the day when the chicks hatched from these precious eggs would become the guardians of the village, and they would become the little heroes of Stone Village.

Of course, they didn't dare linger there. After a few words of boasting, they began to return one by one along the original route and came back to the ground.

Just as they wiped their sweat and breathed a sigh of relief, a loud cry suddenly came from high above.

The cry was so sharp it could pierce through gold and split rocks, and it had a terrifying penetrating power that it made their eardrums ache.

"Oh no, that Azure-scaled Eagle is back."

At the same time, the children realized that the female blue-scaled eagle must have returned.

"Run!"

Immediately, the mischievous children all took off running and fled into the distance.

Above the sky, a fierce wind howled, and a colossal bird cast a large, dark shadow over the mountains and forests before swooping down like an arrow released from a bow.

Its body was surrounded by a cold, eerie blue light, and its menacing aura was terrifying.

"My goodness, this bird is huge! Run!"

Upon seeing the giant bird, the children gasped in surprise and fear; the bird was just too big!

It is seven or eight meters long, and its wingspan is fifteen meters, which seems to be able to cover a small part of the sky!

Its body was covered with blue scales, as if it were wearing a suit of cold metal armor. The shimmering cold light could dazzle people's eyes. The fierce aura emanating from its body was like a surging tide, rushing towards people and making them tremble with fear!

Seeing this, the children ran away even faster, as if they had oil on their feet.

Relying on their familiarity with the mountains and forests, they deliberately chose to go to the densest wooded areas, trying to avoid the ferocious bird whose scales gleamed coldly.

"boom!"

However, what terrified them was that the ferocious bird seemed to be forged from steel, swooping down swiftly from the sky with unstoppable force.

The towering trees, tens of meters tall, were as fragile as tofu in front of it, instantly cracking and scattering branches and leaves everywhere, with debris falling like snowflakes.

This horrifying scene terrified the children, who screamed in terror, their faces turning ashen, and they ran away faster and faster.

But that enormous creature was truly terrifying; its iron wings flapped as if to shatter the sky and destroy everything in its path. The chilling light shimmering on its scales sent shivers down one's spine.

With a single descent, it destroyed most of the forest, with splinters and fallen leaves flying wildly through the air. The forest was utterly vulnerable to it.

"boom!"

With a deafening roar, swathes of towering trees snapped in two, including some massive trees so thick that it would take more than a dozen people to encircle them.

The Azure-Scaled Eagle swooped down like a black lightning bolt, its iron wings snapping up all obstacles in its path, leaving the ground littered with branches and leaves.

"Bang!"

A huge boulder lay across the way, yet it was smashed apart, sparks flying, rocks scattering everywhere, and numerous stones weighing hundreds of kilograms crashing down in all directions, breaking many large trees. The sheer force of the attack was astonishing and chilling.

This scene once again sent chills down the spines of all the children; the power of this Azure-scaled Eagle far exceeded their imagination.

If it weren't for that rock blocking their way, many of them would probably have perished in the eagle's claws.

After the attack, the Azure-Scaled Eagle flapped its wings again and soared into the sky, circling in the air.

Its eagle-like eyes, sharp as lightning, coldly gazed down, already prepared to swoop down again to hunt down the human cubs who dared to steal its children while it was away.
