While Shao Xuan was wondering about the whereabouts of Chacha, the shaman was thinking about the same problem on the other side of the sea at the Flaming Horn tribe .
After Shao Xuan disappeared in the desert, Chacha immediately left after bringing Tuo and the gang back to the tribe . It was heard that Chacha was in the desert and last seen at the Hui tribe . However, it never came back to the Fearsome Beast Forest since then .
The shaman had sent out people to look for Chacha, but it came to nothing . At first, the shaman wanted to send his people to talk to the people in the Hui tribe . However, the people in the Hui Tribe had visited them before he sent his people out from the Fearsome Beast Forest . They mentioned that Chacha went to their tribe not long ago and took some of the beasts with him when he left the tribe .
Those that left with Chacha included the one that fought with Chacha and the two eagles that had travelled to the desert with Chacha . The people from the Hui tribe thought they would have gone back to the Flaming Horn tribe, but they were wrong .
Chacha was different from the other beasts, it had never been marked before . However, it did listen to Shao Xuan and it only listened to him . It didn’t even listen to Old Ke . No one knew where it was and where it took those beasts to .
At the same time, a group of seven eagles was flying up a high mountain .
They were flying through the clouds and over the frost . When they were tired, they would grasp on the wall of the mountain using their claws . After taking a short rest, they would shake off the ice on their wings and continue on their journey .
The smallest eagle that was falling behind the line had difficulty in following the troop . It was falling further and further behind . In the end, it couldn’t fly anymore . It chose to rest on the mountains, letting out a feeble cry . 。
Upon hearing the cry, other eagles who were flying stopped by a mountain as well . All of them screeched to call out to the eagle left behind . However, none of them flew back to help it . One of them had the intention to help, but it was stopped by the biggest eagle in the troop . It was almost beaten up by the eagle . Thus, he could only encourage that eagle instead of giving a helping hand .
All of the eagles stopped by the mountains to encourage the one left behind to catch up .
Chacha was watching them from the side . It didn’t offer any encouragement to that eagle . Shortly after, it curled its claws and snatched a stone that was covered with snow from the side of the mountain . Just when the other eagles thought it would help the smallest eagle, it threw the stone at that eagle .
The other eagles were speechless .
The stone fell just right on the smallest eagle’s head . The smallest eagle was stunned as the snow grains flew into its eyes . Fortunately, it was just a tiny pebble covered in a lot of snow . Thus, it wasn’t injured, but it stung .
Chacha didn’t wait for long before it threw a second stone towards that smallest eagle . The smallest eagle dodged the stone this time .
The youngest eagle was angered by Chacha’s action . The feathers on his neck were kinds of fried and the ice on his feathers was swishing off .
“Ah——” The youngest eagle screeched . Then, it came after Chacha, fluttering its wings .
Chacha threw the third stone before it continued on its journey . The other eagles saw this and quickly followed .
After a long journey, the seven eagles finally reached the mountain top and stepped onto the ice field . All of them were exhausted, without the strength to scream .
After a short rest, Chacha got up and walked forwards slowly . It was hungry and wanted to have some ice .
It was the second time Chacha came here . Previously, an eagle it didn’t know brought it and Shao Xuan here . The mere thought of Shao Xuan made it furious . It bit off a piece of ice from an icicle and threw it on the ground . Damn it, Shao Xuan went missing again!
The fog in the ice field on the mountain top was thick, but a few huge black figures could be seen from the surroundings .
Two of the largest eagles were standing on the ground, both of them were more than ten metres tall . One of them was fifteen metres tall . However, both of them were still kids . The seven eagles did not dare mess around even though they were nosy . It was because all the huge eagles from this area could kill them with a single swipe even though they were old . It was fortunate enough to be able to fly here with energy left . Thus, it was best to keep quiet if they wanted to stay alive .
Every great mountain eagle must pass the test at Eagle Mountain to grow . The trip to Eagle Mountain would be a test period for the eagle and they would experience something similar to the snake moulting its skin .
Two of the eagles that came here for the first time stayed beside the largest eagle in the troop and watched around with curiosity . Chacha didn’t go near them . Instead, it chose to rest on an icicle while thinking, “I would scare Shao Xuan to death when I get out of here . ”
…
On the other side, Shao Xuan looked at the bird in front of him and turned around to ask Gongjia Heng . “Will this Hammer bird throw me off the river halfway through the trip?”
“It won’t . I promise!” said Gongjia Heng . Then, he glared at the bird named Hammer, “Did you hear him? Finish this job well and I'll give you a reward when it's over! Otherwise, I’ll roast you today!”
The hammer bird cried softly .
“Did you hear that? It promised so you don’t have to worry . It won’t throw you off halfway . ” Gongjia Heng patted Shao Xuan’s shoulder . “Young man, be bold and trust the bird . ”
“Alright, fine,” said Shao Xuan .
The weapons that needed to be brought along were heavy, especially Heng’s hammer . Hammer the Bird had kept protesting the heavy load . They had to travel a few times, back and forth, so the load would not be too heavy .
Previously, Gongjia Heng also made the bird cross twice to bring his items over . The hammer bird brought Gongjia Heng went over for the first time before coming back for his other stuff .
This time, Gongjia Heng planned to ask Hammer to bring Shao Xuan the first time . Then, come back for the stuff . After that, it had to come back for the third time to bring himself across .
“There must be at least a person present to look after our stuff . Otherwise, the stuff would be stolen by the monkeys on the other side . Shao Xuan, you go first,” said Gongjia Heng . The other side of the river had many annoying monkeys, they had stolen Gongjia Heng’s things before .
“Alright . ” Shao Xuan took his stuff . His stuff wasn’t as heavy as Heng’s stuff, thus it could be brought over with him .
Shao Xuan jumped on Hammer’s back and the bird flew towards the other side of the river .
Shao Xuan looked out across the vast expanse on the bird’s back . It was a good idea to travel by bird .
At this point, he had no idea that Chacha had disappeared . The people from his tribe were panicking .
Shao Xuan saw a small island on the river . When he looked closely, it was not a small island, but a huge beast with only a small part of its head protruding from the river’s surface . It stared at the sky coldly with its protruding eyes .
Shao Xuan could feel Hammer the Bird trembling after noticing the beast in the river . It flapped its wings harder than before and flew higher with a higher speed, almost by reflex . It was trying its best to avoid the beast . Shao Xuan could feel that the bird was frightened by the beast even though they were in the sky .
The beast that was still staring at the sky suddenly revealed itself from the river and showed its narrow snout and its two big nostrils . It was massive .
It was the giant beast that made every crocodile disappear from the surroundings . It was the king of this river . The giant bastard, age unknown .
Shao Xuan had heard from Gongjia Heng that Gongjia Heng had travelled across the river on the bird’s back before . During that time, they had almost arrived on the other side of the river when Gongjia Heng looked down and felt a sense of uneasiness . Due to the uneasiness, Gongjia Heng told the bird to fly higher and faster .
Hammer was flying low that time, due to the heavy load it was carrying . When Gongjia Heng noticed something was off, he forced himself to throw one of his bags into the river . That bag had contained a few well-built weapons . Although he was reluctant, his action did ease the bird’s burden and made it fly higher .
The giant beast had suddenly shot out from the river and revealed half of its body . Its mouth was similar to a giant trap filled with death and blood, waiting for the prey to fall in .
The bird sped up and flew higher,a close escape from the jaws of the beast . If Gongjia Heng hadn’t thrown the baggage off earlier, they would have fallen into its mouth at that moment .
The baggage that had been thrown off by Gongjia Heng was swallowed by the huge beast . Some of his best weapons disappeared into its belly just like that .
That was when Gongjia Heng decided it was his enemy .
Shao Xuan finally understood the reason why Gongjia Heng would rather travel back and forth a few times instead of bringing everything at once . If the bags were too heavy, they wouldn’t have been able to respond quickly in case of danger . It was the lesson learned from that time . That incident had affected Hammer deeply too, which was why it trembled when it saw the giant beast .
Fortunately, the giant beast eyeballed the distance from itself to them and estimated it could not reach them at this distance . Thus, it didn’t come at them .
When they finally reached the other side safely, Shao Xuan vigilantly surveyed his surroundings . Fortunately, there weren’t any threats around . However, Shao Xuan didn’t let down his guard .
When the hammer bird finally travelled two more times to bring over Gongjia Heng and all the stuff, they heaved a sigh of relief .
However, the respite was only temporary .
As promised, Gongjia Heng hunted a beast for Hammer the Bird as a reward . He didn’t expect the bird to continue with them because the bird was always found near the river . It would go back to its flock as soon as it finished its task . This bird was big but it wasn’t suitable to be involved in individual combat . They were gregarious birds that survived in the mountains in groups .
“Alright, Shao Xuan . We have to speed up in front . That is an area full of annoying monkeys and there are too many of them . It’s kind of difficult to fight them . If we do not travel fast enough, we will definitely suffer losses,” Gongjia Heng instructed Shao Xuan as a person who had gone there before . It was a reminder to Shao Xuan .
“Follow up and try not to lose me! I won’t help you if the monkeys catch you . ” Gongjia Heng tried to scare Shao Xuan before speeding up in front with his stuff .
There had been a lot of movement in their surroundings ever since they left the riverbank . They also heard leaves rustling .
“They’re here! We need to get out of here! Now!” shouted Gongjia Heng .
The sound of a tree trunk breaking could be heard . Gongjia Heng’s sentence had just ended when he saw Shao Xuan sprint past him, then getting further and further away .
‘What the hell! What kind of monster is he? Why is he running so fast? The monkeys are staring at me! Can he come back and help me carry a bag?’ cursed Gongjia Heng to himself .
