Chapter 141 – The Eagle Mountain

Translated by Sunyancai

Shao Xuan thought that they would travel through this place, but it turned out that these two eagles just stopped here, and bit the icicles next to them if they were hungry. They continued to stand here as if they were waiting for something.

The crystal-like icicles on the ice layer contained energy, not as pure and much less than that of the fire crystals. But these icicles were what the giant mountain eagles lived on.

Shao Xuan pried a icicle off with his tooth sword and tried it. He found that it was so hard that he could hardly eat it. Those giant eagles could take a big bite, while Shao Xuan could only scrape off a little at a time.

Although biting the icicles made Shao Xuan shiver, the energy obtained from them helped the totem power in his body move for a while longer. This way, he could withstand the bitter cold on this ice layer and survive.

When Chacha stayed in the tribe in winter, it still slept in his nest on the roof and did not feel cold at all. That was because compared to the bitter cold in this place, the winter in the tribe was warm for the giant mountain eagles.

Besides the huge figure Shao Xuan saw in the beginning, he also saw many other giant mountain eagles constantly.

Some had a similar size as the giant eagle that brought them here, while some were much bigger than the one that had shocked Shao Xuan on the first day.

Did the word ‘mountain’ in the name ‘giant mountain eagles’ refer to this?

Was this place the Eagle Mountain? Shao Xuan guessed.

These giant mountain eagles flocked here, and did not leave. They did not fight, but just waited. Even Chacha, with his excessive energy, also became well-behaved and stayed close to the giant eagle that brought them here at any time. [Chacha found his Old Ke.]

Since his birth, it was the first time for him coming to this place which it knew the direction to and had a strong desire to go, which totally depended on the instinct in his blood.

Day by day, Shao Xuan did the same things. If hungry, he gnawed on some icicles like those giant eagles, and then he sat quietly next to the two eagles and circulated the totem power to withstand the cold.

Shao Xuan looked pale, and his breath was slow. At night, he often trembled and felt too cold to fall asleep. He thought he was going to be integrated with this piece of ice layer. The only thing he could do was to continuously circulate the totem power in his body.

Next to Shao Xuan, Chacha was not feeling that well either. It was the first time for him facing such a grim environment, so he did not fully adjust himself and was not ready for it.

In contrast, the giant eagle staying with them, and the other giant eagles, were so calm that it seemed that they could not feel the bitter cold. They had been used to such an environment.

Chacha initially intended to squeeze into the wings of the giant eagle to keep himself warm, but it was mercilessly chased away. It leaned against Shao Xuan. Both were shivering in the cold fog.

Gradually, Shao Xuan began to adjust. Even when he slept, his totem power could circulate in his body spontaneously and tirelessly to make him warm. As a giant mountain eagle, Chacha also adjusted and became better after several days.

Shao Xuan used his tooth sword to carve traces in an icicle next to him to record the number of the passing days. And in this process, Shao Xuan found that these icicles actually grew. The mark he made twenty days ago was in a higher position. In addition, the icicles become thicker, so the bite marks and scratches left by the two eagles gradually became invisible.

No wonder those eagles ate so much but there was still a lot of ice on the ground. It grew by itself.

This was a strange place.

Da! Da! Da! Da!

The sound of footsteps came. It sounded like a giant eagle of a huge size, for its steps were slightly heavy.

With the sound of footsteps getting closer, the fog could no longer block its figure.

That huge and tall figure walked past Shao Xuan, which allowed him to observe it clearly. But he saw its claws the most clearly, for the fog still blurred the upper part of its body.

It should be a very old eagle, and perhaps it had been a leader ruling some place. It had met numerous threats in the wild, and had faced up to the challenges from those of its same kind and the other ferocious beasts. It had ruled a piece of the sky and soared in the sky. But now it became old, and its sharp claws became blunt. There were a lot of fragments falling of its’ toes. Its feathers had bald spots, and there were a lot of wounds, large and small, deep or shallow, in its legs.

Its condition was similar to that eagle that brought them here.

The huge figure passed by them closely. It could easily wrap around Chacha with its claws. When it fluttered its wings, Shao Xuan found a shadow above his head. Its wings could block all the light.

Chacha and the giant eagle looked up and then lowered their sight. They continued to be in a daze, or perhaps in deep thought.

The huge figure gradually faded away, and completely disappeared in the fog.

Twenty days… thirty days…

On the fortieth day, the surrounding giant mountain eagles no longer stayed silent, but became active. Sometimes they screamed and then successive echoes would be heard everywhere.

These days, more and more giant mountain eagles arrived here every day. Shao Xuan could see figures of various sizes passing by him. Among them, there was a small eagle of a similar size as Chacha, he probably followed its parents here. It walked next to two huge figures, and when it saw Shao Xuan, it was curious and came closer to him, but its parents called it back.

The fog was lifting.

The sunlight came through the clouds, and the picture gradually became clear.

This day, when the sun rose and shone on this piece of ice layer, Shao Xuan found that the surrounding fog had cleared.

Around, big or small figures could be seen. Those small ones had a similar size as Chacha .The big ones were as huge as a mountain.

These figures completely blocked Shao Xuan’s view. Among them, Shao Xuan was like an alien that broke into a giant group. He was so small that they did not even glance at him.

Shao Xuan did not know where so many giant beasts had lived before. Living in the tribe in recent years, He had never seen so many giant eagles when he went hunting with the group, or when he followed the advance group and found Chacha in the green land.

They were not exactly the same. Some looked a little different in their patterns and fur color. But their looks were similar, and they were all giant mountain eagles.

Perhaps they came from the continent. Perhaps, they had lived in a group somewhere. But no matter where they came from, at the moment, they gathered together here.

“Jiao~~~!”

“Jiao~~~!”

It seemed that the scream came from afar, and it sounded like not just one eagle, but like a group of eagles screamimg. The resonance was echoing.

A group of eagles echoed each other and the sound was getting closer.

Whiz!

A huge figure flew in the sky, and flew above the numerous giant mountain eagles standing on the ice layer.

It had a pointed beak, sharp claws, strong wings, and a lofty figure. It showed its pleasure of freedom and its heroic deeds.

This figure covered the sky above Shao Xuan.

The original golden sunlight was completely blocked.

This was just a beginning.

After it, one, two… ten… a hundred eagles…

A group of giant mountain eagles followed.

They all fluttered their strong wings as they flew freely and rapidly with heroic pride. Their flying posture clearly showed their excitement and pleasure.

Compared with the old ones standing on the ice layer at this time, they were strong and full of vitality.

They did not only flew in the sky above Shao Xuan, between the gaps in the distance, he could see several huge figures flying over.

They came from the front and then went back to the other side of the mountain. The strong wind caused by the group of eagles almost blew away Shao Xuan.

After these figures gradually disappeared, there was some sound at the front.

It was the sound of fluttering wings. It rang with increasing frequency.

Shao Xuan saw the giant eagles in front of him also flapping their wings, and then flying away.

Next to him, the two screams were heard.

Shao Xuan looked over. Chacha followed them after he screamed towards Shao Xuan.

When the huge guys that had blocked his view left, a mountain covered with snow appeared in front of Shao Xuan.

That mountain was a little far from him, and very large, so its top could not be seen.

Shao Xuan thought that the mountain that he had gone over was extremely high, but now he found a higher one.

In the golden sun, the snowy mountain gave off a bright halo, staying independant.

Standing on the ice layer, Shao Xuan looked at the huge snow-capped mountain quietly, and felt his soul being shocked. Under such circumstances, he suddenly had a sense of pilgrimage.

Thousands of eagles flew towards the snowy mountain.

What was ahead?

Shao Xuan also walked over there, and sped up. His legs gradually became agile, though he had not moved his legs for a long time, and finally ran straight ahead.

Chacha and that giant eagle soon joined the eagle group. There were so many eagles that it was hard to tell which one was Chacha.

Shao Xuan followed the eagle group forward, and then he saw the flying giant eagles dropping down and finally disappear on the boundary of the ice layer.

He arrived at the end of the ice layer, but in front of the ice layer, there was an endless abyss.

The eagle group flew from the top of the ice layer down to the abyss. Although they were flying down, they went in the direction towards the snow-capped mountain.

Neither the top, nor the bottom, of the distant snowy mountain could be seen. The mountain was standing there aloof.

It was the Eagle Mountain. This time, Shao Xuan was absolutely sure.

Standing on the edge, Shao Xuan was watching the eagles disappear in the abyss.

After some time, the fog began to gather together.

The fog blocked Shao Xuan’s view, so everything looked just like before.
