After waiting for a while, the Golden Eagle started moving again.

Chen Wen felt particularly gratified seeing this scene.

During the training two days ago, he specifically told the Golden Eagle how to handle this kind of situation.

Initially, the Golden Eagle's instinct was to turn and run, flying as fast as it could.

But Chen Wen told it that flying won't get it away.

It might even alert humans due to the sound of its flight.

If discovered by humans, bullets travel faster than the Golden Eagle can fly.

To correct the Golden Eagle's thinking, Chen Wen used desensitization, making it rest at the mercenaries' feet at night.

From being initially terrified to ultimately being as calm as an Old Dog.

The Golden Eagle took less than two nights.

And its performance in real combat pleased Chen Wen greatly; in the face of unexpected situations, the Golden Eagle handled them very well.

The Golden Eagle cautiously stretched out its head and picked up the key.

After getting it, it became even more cautious, and its steps more light and nimble.

Soon, under Chen Wen's watchful eye, the Golden Eagle came over and passed the key through a gap.

"Brilliantly done!"

Chen Wen whispered his praise and took the key.

But this was just the beginning.

The hardest part of this prison break was picking the lock.

Because the mercenaries had chained up Chen Wen and his team with iron chains secured by a padlock, Chen Wen had to be extremely cautious while unlocking.

With the key in hand, Chen Wen knelt before the chained gate.

Soon, he felt the lock outside.

But just the action of feeling the lock caused the chain gate to make a slight noise.

This gate is truly hard to open!

Chen Wen thought, becoming even more cautious.

With one hand gripping the key, he slowly inserted it into the lock.

The other hand pressed onto the lock to keep it steady and minimize any noise.

As Chen Wen slowly turned the key, there was a clear click sound.

Chen Wen immediately held his breath.

The sound wasn't quiet; at the very least, Yang Feng could hear it!

But Yang Feng remained unresponsive, not even blinking.

The mercenaries outside were in a deep sleep and didn't stir.

Safe!

Chen Wen exhaled slowly and released the key, carefully opening the lock with both hands.

Throughout the process, he dared not take a deep breath.

After gently opening the lock, Chen Wen signaled for the lynx to come over.

The lynx obediently approached, positioning itself under the lock and acting as a cushion with its soft body.

Chen Wen held the chains with his right hand to prevent noise, while using his left hand to place the lock gently on the lynx.

The lynx moved slowly, placing the lock on the ground.

The whole process was extremely quiet, even quieter than the mercenaries' snoring.

Seeing this, Chen Wen's heart began to race with excitement.

The most difficult step had already been halfway completed.

Now he only needed to loosen the chains enough to create an opening he could pass through.

After calming his excited heart, Chen Wen began to let go.

He slowly lowered the taut chain until it hung on the ground.

Soon, an opening just wide enough for him to pass through appeared.

Chen Wen gestured for the lynx and the Golden Eagle to go out the other side, while he bent over and carefully passed through the opening.

Freedom was right in front of him!

Chen Wen thought, quickening his pace a little involuntarily.

But that slight quickening caused him to brush against the chains.

Fortunately, with Swift and Ultimate Vision backing him up, Chen Wen quickly noticed the swaying chains and reached out to stop them from colliding.

That was how he avoided the chains clashing and making a noise.

He had to be even more cautious!

Chen Wen thought with lingering fear.

He took a deep breath, steadied himself, and slowly maneuvered his body out.

Perfect escape!

Chen Wen crouched near the mercenaries, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

But just as he stood up bent over, ready to sneak away,

it seemed the shadow's movement caught the mercenaries' attention, and one of them groggily opened his eyes as Chen Wen started to move.

Chen Wen panicked for a moment but immediately calmed down.

He shrank as much as possible into the shadows, activating Night Shadow.

The mercenary didn't look closely; he just glanced around and seeing nothing unusual,

casually shifted his body to find a more comfortable position.

Then fell into a deep sleep.

Damn, that was close!

Chen Wen emerged from the shadows, his heart still racing.

He didn't linger, leading the lynx, Golden Eagle, and Snowy Owl, they tiptoed towards the outside.

...

As they emerged from the abandoned mine shaft, accompanied by the sound of light footsteps, Chen Wen and the lynx rushed out in one breath.

"Ha! Free at last!"

Chen Wen said, suppressing his voice, excited.

He was now in the forest just before entering the mine shaft.

No mercenaries were stationed in this area; their defenses were concentrated within the mine shaft.

Feeling the excitement in Chen Wen's words, the lynx and the Golden Eagle also excitedly cheered.

"Awesome, human!"

"Hahaha, it's thanks to me stealing the key! I'm a genius Golden Eagle!"

The Golden Eagle and the lynx cheered.

Chen Wen scooped up the two animals and gave them a big kiss.

Of course, the aloof Snowy Owl wasn't left out; it got a kiss too.

"I'm really thankful to you all this time. Without you, I might have had to wait until the mercenaries decided to let me go."

Chen Wen sighed deeply.

Though the mercenaries said so, who knows if they actually would.

If this unscrupulous bunch decided they might as well, they could just rob or sell them to Southeast Asia.

Who would you go to for justice then?

Can't exactly criticize mercenaries for not being trustworthy, can you?

In any case, having control over my own destiny is the most comforting!

Chen Wen chuckled and took a few steps into the snow.

But he hadn't gone far when he stepped into a small pit.

"With all this snow, even Silence isn't very effective."

Chen Wen remarked, looking at the snowflakes still falling.

However, this snow wouldn't stop him.

Now he was free, without any cameras recording him or companions around.

He was completely unshackled, free to fully display all his traits!

"Come on, let's fly you up to the sky!"

Chen Wen said to the lynx, casually taking off his clothes.

He tied the clothes around his waist and spread his arms: "No more hiding, I'm revealing my hand; I'm a member of the bird clan—Man-Bird!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Snowy Owl blinked, seeing the bare Chen Wen suddenly sprout dense gray and white feathers.

Feathers (Eagle-Owl)!

Next came the fine down hidden beneath the feathers: Down (Mexican Golden-backed).

Once the feathers emerged, out sprang wings.

A pair of wings with a nearly five-meter wingspan suddenly unfolded—Wings (Golden Eagle) (Golden).

Seeing the same wings enlarged several times, the Golden Eagle was extremely excited.

But it wasn't over yet.

Abundant Hair made Chen Wen's wings swell up a bit more.

But he didn't look bloated.

After removing the Disguise, Chen Wen's whole being underwent a massive transformation.

He now looked nothing like a human.

Even he was showing off his traits so unabashedly for the first time.

"How do I look? Cool, right?"

Chen Wen shook his wings happily, looking at the three animals who were dumbfounded.

"Cool, cool, let's fly together!"

The Golden Eagle was extremely excited; it knew Chen Wen had its matching wings.

The lynx knew too, but it was when Chen Wen turned into a grizzly bear.

Completely different from now.

The Snowy Owl was completely baffled, what was this thing?

It looked like a big bird, but with human limbs; it was completely incomprehensible!

In the midst of the Snowy Owl's confusion, it saw Chen Wen carrying the lynx and starting to run, then suddenly flapping his wings to soar high.

The Golden Eagle gleefully followed, hooting wildly.

The Snowy Owl shook its head and had no choice but to follow as well.
