Even though it didn’t lay the egg, at least it had guarded the egg for so long. Now, it had become someone else’s. What to think? His heart couldn’t get over this crisis and neither could it accept the fact.
“Roar!”
All of a sudden, a bear’s roar hollered over, followed by several roars. The roar made the airflow in the air fluctuate. When they heard loud thumping sounds being transmitted over, it seemed that something was running this way.
“That’s a man-eating bear!”
As the eagle spoke, it stood up and looked towards the forest. “Let’s go quickly!” It told them. “There are many man-eating bears in this area and one of them has reached the divine beast level. The man-eating bear’s power is boundless. You are not its match. Let’s go!”
“Roar!”
“Thump thump!”
As soon as the eagle finished speaking, several big black bears sprang out of the forest. Each was two or three meters tall. They stooped down, revealing shiny sharp claws while staring at them. The bears grimaced, exposing their teeth and roaring at them.
While raising her vital energy, Feng Jiu saw these big black bears and felt familiar with them. Because she recalled Xiao Hei helping guard her cave-dwelling, they didn’t fight. After the eagle flapped its wings and flew, she took Ning Lang on her flying feather and flew into the air. They stopped mid-air and looked at the big black bears that were staring at them.
One of them came thumping away from behind. That one was bigger than other man-eating bears. The bear stared at the two people, took another look at the eagle, and finally turned around and left.
Ning Lang breathed a sigh of relief. “We’re in luck. If I have to fight again, I may get even more injuries.”
“Alright, let’s go! Let’s join up with Duan Ye and others first.” While speaking, Feng Jiu took Ning Lang aboard the flying feather to return. The eagle was opening the way in front of them. Not long after, they saw Duan Ye and others coming their way on their flying swords.
“Feng Jiu! Ning Lang! Are you guys alright?”
They were relieved to see both of them still alive.
“I got hurt. The pain is killing me.” Ning Lang said with a bitter face. However, recalling the little thing in his arms, he smiled excitedly. “By the way, let me tell you! I picked up a little bird. It’s not a common one.”
He took the bird out of his arms and showed it to them as if it was a treasure. “Look, here it is.”
The eagle looked at it from the side and snorted, but it said nothing.
Duan Ye and several others were surprised to see the bird. In fact, they thought it’s similar to a chicken. The difference was that the little thing’s feathers were colourful, similar to a parrot.
“Okay, what are we doing talking in mid-air? Let’s get down.” Feng Jiu took Ning Lang down to the forest below while the others followed behind.
“We came here following the signal. Luckily, we have Cloud Devouring Beast with us. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to stop the long-legged birds we met in mid-air.” Luo Fei said. He looked at Feng Jiu and asked, “What happened with that eagle? Why is it with you? ”
Feng Jiu smiled and told them about her experience. Finally, she said, “That’s it. Instead of following us, I’d better say that the eagle is following Ning Lang’s contracted small bird.”
“That’s good. As long as it doesn’t attack us.” Luo Fei exhaled gently, knowing that the divine beast was no longer hostile. Otherwise, with their strength, they couldn’t hold up against one more such enemy.
