Immortality begins with inheriting the myriad arts of cultivation.

In the nest.

The female eagle paced back and forth anxiously, sometimes turning her head to look in the direction of the fragrance, and sometimes her gaze falling on the bright red eggs in the nest.

Clearly, it was completely unable to resist the scent of the Demon-Attracting Pill.

However, at the same time, its child is being conceived in the newly laid egg. Although the intelligence of the monster is not as strong as that of the human, protecting its child is its nature.

"Wow..."

The female arrow eagle let out a low cry, and fiery red saliva dripped continuously from the corner of her mouth, almost forming a straight thin line.

Despite its limited intelligence, it was well aware that its family was the overlord of a large area, and that no other life form in that area could rival them.

To demonstrate their dominance and ensure the safety of their unborn offspring, they have long prohibited any life from entering the vicinity of their nests.

This vast area is their family's exclusive territory.

"I'll eat that delicious food and then come back. It should be fine, right? It's only been a short time." A thought suddenly popped into the female eagle's simple mind.

Soon, this reason successfully convinced itself.

After glancing down at the eggs in the nest and confirming that everything was alright, the female eagle quickly rushed out of the nest and flew towards a valley twenty miles away. She could clearly sense that the delicious food was in that location!

"Gah~"

The distance of twenty miles was covered in an instant by the speed of the Fiery Arrow Eagle. With an excited cry, the female Fiery Arrow Eagle landed directly in the valley.

Following the scent, it flapped its wings rapidly and flew towards the spot where Miao Rou had crushed the Demon-Attracting Pill.

boom!

The spirit bird, which was over ten zhang long and had a wingspan of nearly thirty zhang, landed on the ground with such a terrifying commotion that even the valley trembled for a moment.

Just as the Fiery Arrow Eagle poked its head out, gazing wistfully at the scattered fragments of pills, Miao Rou's eyes flashed with decisiveness: "Now!"

In an instant, the magical power within her body surged into the array flag in her hand like a burst dam.

"Buzz~"

Within a thousand-foot radius centered on the Fiery Arrow Eagle, a burst of blood-red light erupted. Streaks of blood-red light shot out from the ground, connecting in the sky to form a net, which grew denser and denser!

Finally, the "Blood Net Heavenly Net" formation was completed, trapping the Fiery Arrow Eagle within it.

At this moment, the Fiery Arrow Eagle also sensed something was wrong. It pushed off the ground with its claws, flapped its wings, and soared into the sky, trying to break out of the array's range.

But with a 'bang,' it crashed directly into the Blood Net Heavenly Net!

The Blood Net Heavenly Net trembled and successfully blocked the impact!

Miao Rou, who was not far away, was finally relieved to see this, but she also knew that this formation could not trap the Fierce Arrow Eagle for too long.

Once that hairy beast escapes, she will surely die.

She planted the array flags where they were, and without bothering to retrieve the array that concealed her aura, she transformed into a streak of light and flew out of the valley, rapidly heading towards the nest of the Fiery Arrow Eagle, to meet up with Protector Yan and then escape together!

From the valley behind them came the frenzied roars of the Fiery Arrow Eagle and the violent booming sounds of it constantly crashing into the formation.

The huge commotion caused Miao Rou to tremble and fly even faster!

……

Just after the female Fiery Arrow Eagle flew away from its nest, a certain area near the cliff suddenly trembled. Protector Yan lifted the dark cloak that concealed his figure and leaped into the Fiery Arrow Eagle's nest like a leopard.

Ignoring the stench in the nest, his gaze quickly fell on the egg, which was as tall as a person, in the center of the nest.

Eggs of a Tier 3 Fierce Arrow Eagle!

Yan, the Protector, couldn't help but show joy in his eyes. He took out a blood-red talisman and stuck it on the egg to conceal his aura. Then he took out a palm-sized spirit beast bag and put the egg into it.

Then his gaze fell on the circular bird's nest, which was a hundred feet in diameter, and a look of regret appeared on his face.

The spirit wood used to build this bird's nest is mostly of the third rank or higher, and each piece can be said to be an extremely precious immortal material in the outside world.

Unfortunately, these spirit trees were all fused together with the mountain by the Fiery Arrow Carving using demonic fire, making them impossible to remove.

Besides, he didn't have enough time to dismantle it.

If we are delayed, it will be too late to evacuate by the time the Fiery Arrow Eagle returns.

"Having obtained the third-tier demon beast egg, this trip has been worthwhile!" Protector Yan took a deep look at the priceless bird's nest, and then flew out of the nest without hesitation.

……

Hearing the entire valley behind her trembling, Miao Rou could almost see the Blood Net Heavenly Net array trembling and about to disintegrate at any moment.

She flew as fast as she could.

In her eyes, she could already see the black-robed figure leaping out of the nest.

If a Foundation Establishment cultivator in the early stage flies at full speed, they can travel hundreds of miles in an hour. The speed of a Foundation Establishment cultivator in the late stage is several times that of an early stage cultivator.

The two flew towards each other at a speed of twenty kilometers per hour, and they would meet in just a moment.

Just as the two were about to meet, a terrifying roar echoed from the distant valley, and a fireball shot out of the valley at an alarming speed.

Sensing that its child had been stolen, the Fierce Arrow Eagle let out an angry shriek, its attention instantly drawn to Miao Rou and Protector Yan in the sky.

It flapped its wings instantly, transforming into a line of fire that rushed towards the two of them!

They vowed to tear the thief who stole their child to pieces!

It believed that, given its speed, the two thieves would have no chance of escaping!

But it looked like it was about to tear the two of them apart in the next second.

Suddenly—

All it saw was the figure in black robes taking out an octagonal jade block engraved with intricate patterns from a storage bag, and then crushing it!

The space rippled, and the two people vanished instantly; even their presence could no longer be sensed.

"Waaah~"

The eagle flew back and forth, circling in the sky, trying to find the thief who had stolen its child. But all its efforts were in vain; only its mournful cries could be heard in the air.

……

Inside a cave a thousand miles from the nest of the Fiery Arrow Eagle, within a pre-arranged formation.

Protector Yan, holding the still-shaken Miao Rou, suddenly appeared here in a flash.

Staggering to his feet, Yan Hufa looked at the jade fragments that had been reduced to shards in the center of the formation, a look of regret flashing in his eyes.

The reason they were able to escape the pursuit of the Fiery Arrow Eagle and appear here instantly was because they used an extremely precious jade talisman called the "Thousand Miles Without a Trace Talisman".

The Thousand Mile Vanishing Talisman can function similarly to a teleportation array, instantly transporting the user to a predetermined location thousands of miles away.

This precious escape talisman was brought from the Great Zhou Dynasty by his ancestors; there were no such treasures in the Western Wilderness.

"But it was all worth it. Not only did I get a third-tier Fiery Arrow Eagle egg, but I also received a Core Formation spiritual item from the sect to help me break through to Core Formation!" Thinking of this, Protector Yan smiled again.

He said directly, "Fairy Miao, please take this beast egg back to the Immortal City. I will inform you through the Heavenly Mirror when to remove the talisman on the beast egg."

Miao Rou looked at Protector Yan with surprise and suspicion: "Protector Yan, aren't you going back to Immortal City?"

"I'll go catch a turtle first!" As he said this, a cruel smile appeared on Protector Yan's face.
