Fortunately, this place is not far from Shicun and is in a relatively safe area, not close to the activity range of those dangerous and ferocious creatures in the mountains.

"Almost there! Give it your all, let's run to the village in one go!"

The group of children were excited, but also a little worried. After all, it was a Azure Scaled Eagle, a creature that instilled fear in even the strongest young men in the village. Yet they had successfully destroyed its entire nest of eggs, which felt somewhat unreal.

Suddenly, a cry pierced the sky, sharp and terrifyingly penetrating, making the eardrums of the group of children ache.

Upon seeing this, Shi Ziling immediately became cautious. Although he wanted to teach the children a lesson, he did not want them to suffer irreparable damage as a result, so he unconsciously moved much closer.

"Oh no! That Green-Scaled Eagle has returned. It must have noticed that the three eggs are missing and is going crazy."

A child screamed.

"Run away!"

Xiao Shihao's eyes were bright. Through the gaps in the branches of the giant tree, he saw a shadow swirling in the sky, heading in this direction.

High in the sky, a strong wind howled, and a giant bird cast a large shadow in the forest. It swooped down at high speed, its body flowing with a cold blue light, exuding a ferocious aura.

By this time, the other children had also seen it: a giant bird was swooping down from the sky towards the forest, moving at an incredible speed, like a star falling, sharp and terrifying.

"My mother, what a big bird, run away!"

The children gasped in alarm, fear gripping their hearts. The bird was enormous, seven or eight meters long, with a wingspan of fifteen meters. Its body was covered in dense blue scales that shimmered with a cold metallic luster, and its menacing aura was overwhelming!

The children took off running, relying on their familiarity with the mountains and forests, deliberately rushing towards the densest parts of the woods to avoid the ferocious bird whose scales gleamed with a cold light.

"boom!"

Dozens of towering trees were shattered by its iron wings, branches and leaves flying everywhere, debris swirling in the air. It was as if it were cast in steel, swooping down, invincible.

This was frightening. The children screamed, turned pale, and ran away quickly.

This enormous creature was terrifying. Its iron wings soared into the sky, destroying everything in their path. Its scales gleamed with a chilling light. With a single swoop, it destroyed most of the forest, sending splinters of wood and fallen leaves flying everywhere.

It was too powerful, with an incredibly tough body and wings like broadswords, capable of smashing a mountain in half; these trees simply couldn't stop it.

It resembles a giant eagle, but it has no feathers on its body. Its scales are dense and sharp, as if it were cast from molten iron, exuding a powerful and awe-inspiring presence.

Its hooked beak, glossy black and sharp, was over half a meter long and stained with the blood of a ferocious beast, clearly indicating it had just returned from a hunt. Its claws were even more terrifying, gleaming coldly and extremely sharp, nearly a meter long, capable of easily tearing apart a giant elephant.

On its head are some feather-like protrusions, but they are not feathers at all. Instead, they are thick, long, and sharp bone spurs, like a row of horns, which can easily cut open the chest and abdomen of large beasts.

This is the Azure-Scaled Eagle, covered in cold, blue scales, its body brimming with boundless power, as if forged from steel. It sweeps across this mountain forest, treating these giant trees as nothing.

"boom!"

Amidst the rumblings, pieces of towering trees were broken, many of which were so thick that only a dozen people could hug them. The blue-scaled eagle swooped directly past, its iron wings smashed through all obstacles, and the ground was full of branches and trees. Chaotic leaves.

There was a loud bang, and a huge rock blocking the road was shattered by it. Sparks flew everywhere, rocks collapsed, and many rocks weighing hundreds of kilograms fell in all directions, breaking many big trees. amazing.

All the children were chilling. This blue-scaled eagle was too powerful. If it hadn't been blocked by the rock, many of them might have been killed just now.

After destroying a large area of ​​forest, the Azure-Scaled Eagle soared into the sky again, circling in the air. Its eyes, sharp as lightning, coldly stared down below, preparing to swoop down once more to hunt down the fleeing children.

"The village is just ahead, let's go!"

The children screamed.

"It's too late! It's too fast. We can't escape back to the village at all!" Pi Hou shouted, baring his teeth. He had just been grazed on the arm by a flying rock, tearing a large patch of skin and drawing blood.

"There's a deep cave here, let's go in and take shelter!" Little Shi Hao shouted to the group.

They fled through the mountains, bypassed several boulders, and rushed into a patch of giant vines. The little one slipped inside with a whoosh, and the other children followed suit.

It was a very damp stone cave, hidden behind vines. The sound of water could be faintly heard inside. It was dark and gloomy. The cave was incredibly deep. After hiding inside, the group of children dared not linger and continued running for dozens of meters before stopping.

The darkness was filled with heavy breathing. The dozen or so children were exhausted after running for miles. They had been terrified. The Azure-Scaled Eagle was too powerful. If it had caught up with them, one talon would have turned them into a pool of blood and broken bones.

······
Shi Yuntao, who was talking with Shi Yunfeng at the village entrance, suddenly looked up at the outside of the village and chuckled softly:

"Hehe, these kids are really audacious. They're such young children, yet they dare to raid the nest of the Azure-Scaled Eagle!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Yunfeng immediately became anxious and said:
"No, Yuntao, we must hurry and get Lin Hu and the others to rescue them!"

Shi Yuntao smiled and reassured him:
"Don't worry, Shi Ziling will be fine with them by his side. At most, they'll learn a lesson so he won't get too cocky!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Yunfeng breathed a sigh of relief and smiled:
"You really startled me! You knew Ziling was with them, yet you deliberately made fun of me!"

Then, as if noticing something amiss, Shi Yunfeng widened his eyes and said:

"What level are you at now?"

How can we see the Azure Scaled Eagle's lair from here?

Although Shi Yunfeng hadn't gone hunting outside the village for a long time, he still remembered the location of the lair of ferocious beasts like the Azure-scaled Eagle, which was quite far from here.

Although he has now reached the Spirit Transformation Realm, it is far from possible for him to perceive that place with just his divine sense.

Shi Yuntao smiled and said:

"After so many years of slumber and transformation, although I haven't made any major breakthroughs, my true realm and strength have already surpassed that of a Venerable."

"Yunfeng, from now on, our Shi Village will be able to gradually develop into a large tribe!" Shi Yunfeng's eyes widened, and his face showed excitement. Having traveled outside and gained some knowledge from Shi Ziling, he now knew what a Venerable was, and even knew that above the Venerable were gods who had ignited divine fire!
······
In the cave.

"Phew, that was close! We were almost done for!" Having narrowly escaped death, they all plopped down on the ground.

"The entrance to this cave isn't very big; that ferocious bird shouldn't be able to get in." Although the children relaxed, they didn't forget to be vigilant.

This experience was extremely dangerous. They almost perished in the mountains and forests, dying under the claws of that ancient demonic bird descendant. Now that they have calmed down a bit, their backs are covered in a layer of cold sweat.

The cave was extremely deep and connected to an underground river. A cold wind was blowing, and the children looked at each other, somewhat worried. How were they going to get back to Stone Village? None of them dared to go out.

"Oh, right, little one, how did you know there was a cave here?" When they came to their senses, the group of children realized that it was the little one who had led them out a way to survive at the crucial moment.

"Eeya!" The little one was a bit embarrassed, fidgeting and tugging at the hem of his clothes, muttering softly, "Last time I chased a crimson sparrow out of the village and almost got lost, and ended up here by accident."

The group of children were speechless. The little one was good in every way, except that he was lively, active, and extremely curious. When he was little, he had chased the clan chief's big yellow dog and run out of the village several times. Not to mention when he got a little older, as his abilities increased, he would relentlessly pursue anything strange or unusual he saw, determined to find out what it was all about.

"Hehe... Three years old and still breastfeeding, chasing sparrows, little Hao Hao!" the older children teased.

The little one was embarrassed, puffed out his cheeks, and said angrily, "Don't laugh, that's a bird that's completely red like blood, just like the ancient divine bird Vermilion Bird recorded in the Bone Book."

"Tch, don't even talk about those legendary things that don't even exist. Even a Fire Cloud Sparrow or its offspring could wipe out a super clan. If it were really a Vermilion Bird, would you even dare to chase it? A single yawn could shatter the territory of a king!"

"But it really is exactly the same as described in the bone book, red and beautiful," the little one argued, her fair little hands clenched tightly, her rosy face showing excitement, and her big, black gem-like eyes shining in the darkness.

The children's interactions caught Shi Ziling's attention. He knew how special Shi Village was. Whether it was the spirit willow god at the village entrance or Shi Yuntao in the courtyard next to the village chief's house, they were all very special and mysterious beings.

Perhaps, the ancient divine bird Vermilion Bird that Hao'er mentioned really did come to the village!
"Boom!"

Suddenly, a deep, muffled thud startled all the children. They turned to look and saw a cold, metallic light flashing at the entrance of the cave. The head of the Azure Scaled Eagle appeared, its eyes chilling and terrifying as it stared at the children inside.

"Oh my god, it's coming in!" Many children's faces suddenly turned pale, losing all color.

"It's alright, the opening isn't big, it can't get in!" Er Meng was really fierce. As he spoke, he grabbed a rock the size of a face and threw it out with all his might.

"boom!"

With his immense strength, the huge rock slammed into the Azure Scaled Eagle's head with incredible speed and unparalleled power. However, it only caused sparks to fly and a clanging sound to be heard. The eagle's metallic azure scales gleamed coldly, completely undamaged, while the rock shattered and fell to the ground.

Everyone gasped in shock. This ferocious bird, with its bronze skin and iron bones, was far too powerful, sending chills down their spines.

"puff"

With a single swipe of its claw, it instantly snatched a rock weighing hundreds of kilograms from the cave entrance, easily tearing out a large chunk as if a sharp iron hook were grabbing a clod of mud.

A group of children stared in disbelief. Couldn't even a stone cave stop them?
"Crack!"

The sound of breaking rocks came again. The Azure Scaled Eagle flapped its wings, like a blade slicing through the rock wall, splitting it into pieces. Huge boulders rolled down with a rumble, and its massive body forced its way in.

"That's terrifying. Could it really cut this hill in half? If this goes on for too long, could it really break through the cave and level this place?"

The monkey bent the bow and nocked the arrow. It was a hard bow made of dragon horn. The so-called dragon horn was cut from the horn of a dragon elephant. Generally, only an adult could draw it. It was considered the best bow-making material in Stone Village.

"call out!"

An arrow flew out at lightning speed, with great force and weight, like a shooting star, swift and fierce.

"when!"

Surprisingly, the arrow struck the blue-scaled eagle's head, creating a string of sparks, but it was difficult to penetrate; such a strong bow and sharp arrow were ineffective.

A chill ran down everyone's spine. What could they do? Even a powerful bow couldn't harm it, and there was no way they could get close enough to fight it. They were trapped in a desperate situation.

"Eek, I'll give it a try."

The little boy borrowed an iron spear from a big boy. It weighed forty or fifty pounds. He jogged for a while, then suddenly accelerated and rushed towards the cave entrance. Finally, he threw the iron spear, which shot out like lightning, its cold light flashing towards the cave entrance.

Shi Hao could lift a bronze cauldron weighing a thousand catties and hurled an iron spear with all his might. The spear's penetrating power was terrifyingly astonishing, aiming straight for the Azure Scaled Eagle's eye. The iron spear swept through the air with a whistling sound, and the compressed air seemed to roar along with it!

The Azure-Scaled Eagle had been relentlessly pursuing the children with disdain, but for the first time, a hint of surprise flashed in its eyes. It quickly shook its head, not daring to let the iron spear pierce its eyes.

With a loud clang, the iron spear, with its immense force, flew at incredible speed and struck the head of the Azure Scaled Eagle. Sparks flew everywhere as if two metal plates were rubbing against each other, and the sound was extremely piercing.

Finally, the iron spear fell to the ground, but one of the scales that had been gleaming coldly on the corner of the bird's eye also fell off, and a trickle of blood flowed out, quite conspicuous.

A high-pitched bird cry rang out, as if lightning had struck one's soul. It was first grand, then turned into a sharp cry, like a dragon's roar, which was very awe-inspiring.

The children were startled and stumbled backward, then fell to the ground with a thud, quickly covering their ears with their hands to protect them, otherwise their eardrums might have ruptured.

This ferocious bird, careless and wounded, went berserk. Its eagle eyes were as cold as blades as it stared intently at Xiao Shihao. Its giant claws swung wildly, tearing open the rock walls of the cave and forcefully pushing its way inside.

The rocks, weighing anywhere from tens to hundreds of kilograms, rolled and tumbled, as fragile as rotten wood under those sharp claws. The cave was widened, and the Azure-Scaled Eagle roared angrily as it charged in.

"Oh no, this big bird has gone mad! Are we going to get crushed here by its claws?" Pi Hou and the others were all shocked. The children regretted their actions. No wonder the adults had been hesitant to make any moves. This ferocious bird was too terrifying.

“We’re very close to Stone Village. The clan chief and the others will definitely hear the commotion and come to meet us,” Xiao Shihao said.

“That’s right, we’ll attack with all our might, provoke it, and make it cause a bigger commotion so that the clan leader and the others will notice sooner!” Shi Dazhuang said, grabbing a boulder and smashing it down on the ferocious bird.

The bird's cry grew even more terrifying, causing dust to fall and rocks to tumble within the cave. The enormous, scale-covered body approached step by step, angrily chiseling at the rock walls. (End of Chapter)
