Chapter 43 Iron-winged Eagle Demon
Shen Qiu looked in the direction Lu Daocheng pointed, and saw that the black shadow was moving very fast. He could just barely make out a residual image shuttling between the branches, and it disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"My goodness, at this speed, if I am targeted by it, I won't even have a chance to escape." Shen Qiu couldn't help but sigh upon seeing this.

"Of course. The speed of the Swift Leopard is considered to be among the best among the third-level monsters. But as long as we are careful and don't provoke it, generally nothing will happen." Lu Daocheng explained.

"Also, that is a second-level monster, the Wood Spirit Monkey. It has the ability to control plants. It can control vines to attack enemies, and it can also build temporary nests in trees."

Lu Daocheng turned his head and pointed to a big tree not far away, where several monkeys were jumping and playing among the branches.

Those monkeys were not big, only about the size of a domestic cat. They were covered with gray-brown hair and had long tails that almost reached the ground. They had a pair of lively eyes that rolled around, and looked very clever.

"Controlling plants is so magical?" Shen Qiu has broadened his horizons on this trip.

"Although the Wood Spirit Monkey can manipulate plants, its strength is not very strong. It can only deal with some low-level monsters. Moreover, they are relatively gentle and rarely attack humans."

After thinking about it, Lu Daocheng added a sentence.

At this time, several large gray-brown lizards were crawling slowly on the cliffs in the valley.

Seeing this, Lu Daocheng continued, "Boss Shen, this is a second-level monster, the Rock Armor Lizard. Its body is covered with hard scales and it can move quickly on the surface of rocks. It mainly preys on insects and other small creatures in the valley."

Those lizards were flat in shape, with a layer of gray-brown scales covering their backs. They looked like rocks. If they were not crawling slowly, Shen Qiu would not have been able to find them.

After hearing Lu Daocheng's introduction, several rock-armored lizards seemed to be frightened and quickly crawled into the cracks of the rocks and disappeared.

"These kinds of monsters generally don't attack humans on their own initiative, unless they sense danger, then they will actively hurt people."

After coming here several times, Lu Daocheng basically understood the situation in the valley. He also picked some wild fruits from the surrounding trees.

"Master Lu, why are you picking these wild fruits? They are not poisonous, right?" Shen Qiu asked puzzledly, looking at the wild fruits in Lu Daocheng's hand.

“It’s not poisonous, it’s edible, and it tastes pretty good.”

As he spoke, Lu Daocheng handed one of the wild fruits to Shen Qiu, "Boss Shen, try it..."

Shen Qiu took the wild fruit and looked at it carefully. He saw that the wild fruit was only the size of a walnut, dark red in color, with a bumpy surface, and did not look very good.

He hesitated for a moment, but finally took a bite. Immediately, a sour and sweet taste spread in his mouth, with a hint of fragrance. It was unexpectedly delicious.

"How is it? It tastes good, right?" Lu Daocheng said with a smile.

"Well, it tastes really good. This is the first time I've eaten this kind of wild fruit."

Shen Qiu nodded, finished eating the wild fruit in his hand, and licked his lips with satisfaction.

"This wild fruit is called Chixia Fruit. It only grows in places with lush forests. It is not only delicious, but also can replenish physical strength and restore vitality. After being dried, it is a rare medicinal herb. This is also one of the medicinal herbs I need."

Lu Daocheng explained as he started picking.

"So that's it..." Shen Qiu suddenly realized. No wonder this wild fruit tastes so cool and refreshing.

"There are still many good things in the valley. Let's go around and maybe find some rare medicinal herbs."

After saying that, Lu Daocheng walked into the valley with great interest.

Shen Qiu and others followed closely and began searching in the valley.

The nine girls followed behind Shen Qiu, looking around vigilantly to prevent any sudden danger.

"Master, this valley is filled with gloomy auras. I'm afraid there may be high-level monsters lurking around. We have to be extra careful." Qingluan reminded in a low voice.

Shen Qiu nodded, "Well, I know, you should also pay more attention." As the sun sets, the red glow casts a strange color on the deep valley.

The light in the valley gradually dimmed, and a sense of tranquility unique to the primeval forest quietly descended.

Shen Qiu and his friends followed Lu Daocheng around the valley, and from time to time they saw some strange plants and insects. At present, most of the medicinal materials have been collected.

At this moment, several wood monkeys that were playing among the branches suddenly let out sharp cries and fled in panic.

Then, as if they had sensed some danger, the rock-armored lizards quickly crawled into the cracks in the rocks and disappeared.

"what happened?"

Shen Qiu's heart trembled when he noticed something strange around him, and a feeling of uneasiness surged in his heart.

"No, this is..."

Lu Daocheng's face suddenly changed and he looked up at the sky. He saw a group of huge black shadows appeared in the originally clear sky and were flying towards them rapidly.

"Chirp!!"

The cries of eagles echoed throughout the valley, and the dark shadows gradually became clearer.

They are huge in size, with a wingspan of several feet. Their bodies are covered with blue-black feathers that gleam with a metallic luster. Their sharp eagle eyes emit a cold light, and their sharp claws are stained with blood, obviously having just caught prey.

"This is a king-level monster, the Iron-winged Eagle Monster!"

Lu Daocheng, whose face turned pale, exclaimed in surprise.

If there were only one or two of them, Lu Daocheng could still use Dan Fire to fight them, but now there was a group of iron-winged eagle monsters.

"Iron-winged eagle monster, what is that?" Shen Qiu was confused as he had never heard of this kind of monster.

"Iron-winged eagle monsters are social monsters that usually appear in groups. They like to collect metal fragments to reinforce their nests. They have sharp claws and fangs that can easily tear rocks apart."

Lu Daocheng explained hurriedly: "Boss Shen, let's hide quickly."

Before he finished speaking, several iron-winged eagle monsters swooped down, their sharp claws like steel knives, grabbing towards Shen Qiu and others.

Two rock-armored lizards failed to dodge in time and were torn into pieces in an instant. Blood splattered and dyed the cliff red.

"Fuck, is this thing so powerful?" Shen Qiu was so scared that he was about to hide behind a huge rock.

"Master, be careful..."

Yun Shang protected Shen Qiu behind her, drew the sword in her hand, and a sharp sword energy went straight to the swooping iron-winged eagle monster.

"clang!"

The sword energy collided with the eagle claw, making a sound of metal clashing and sparks flying.

The iron-winged eagle demon was hit by the sword energy and let out an angry roar. It circled in the air for a few circles and swooped down towards Yun Shang again.

"Lan Xin, Zi Yan, Yun Shang, you protect the master, and everyone else follow me."

At Qingluan's order, Hongluan, Sangsang, Wanqing, Zhaoyue, Xueyao and others all drew out their Liuyun swords and attacked the Iron-Winged Eagle Monster.
