Obtaining Treasure

Li Gang had died to this very move, so Chu Kuang naturally did not dare to be careless.

His expression changed drastically as he raised his great spear to block. He pushed his Golden Bell Shield to its limit, and the majestic toll of a golden bell shook the mountains.

"You're courting death!"

Seeing Chu Kuang make such a massive display, Poisonous Snake's expression immediately changed. He knew Chu Kuang wanted to draw the Crimson Blood Eagles in to disrupt the battle, so he swiftly attacked, intending to kill him before the eagles arrived.

Unfortunately, on the other side of the mountain lay the nests of three pairs of Crimson Blood Eagles. The eagles in the valley had already been alarmed. Five of them took flight at once and, after only a dozen breaths, reached the battlefield and swooped down upon the two men.

Seizing the chance, Chu Kuang relied on his powerful defenses and charged through the encirclement.

Brother Snake was in even worse shape. His Life Level was higher, attracting more Crimson Blood Eagles to pursue him, including that high-level Beast Soldier Crimson Blood Eagle.

"Brat, even if I have to pay a price today, I won't let you leave alive."

As the Crimson Blood Eagles swooped down, Brother Snake used Slithering Snake Steps to evade them again and again, yet he still refused to give up his pursuit of Chu Kuang.

One chased while the other fled. Before they realized it, they had once again used the trees and mountain ridges to temporarily shake off the Crimson Blood Eagles.

"Kid, you wanted to bring the Crimson Blood Eagles in to stir up trouble, but you're still too green."

"Let me tell you the truth—even if the heavens themselves came today, they couldn't get you out alive."

As soon as he finished speaking, Brother Snake lunged forward. Sword qi wound through the air like a green snake, its sharp edge striking straight at Chu Kuang's vital points.

Facing such an attack, Chu Kuang did not pause in the slightest. He relied on his formidable defense to take it head-on, then unleashed Thousand Jun Formation Breaker and sped into the distance.

In almost an instant, he crossed the mountain range and reached the valley on the other side, charging directly toward the nest beside the Source Energy Spring Eye.

"Shriek—"

Seeing Chu Kuang rush over, the Crimson Blood Eagle left behind to guard the nest let out an angry cry. It beat its wings, sending sharp feather blades sweeping through the sky toward him.

Yet Chu Kuang endured the injuries and took the attack head-on. He snatched up two eagle eggs, then used his mighty internal force to hurl one of them at Brother Snake.

"Crimson Blood Eagle egg."

Faced with such a precious treasure delivered right to him, Poisonous Snake was slightly startled, but he still pulled the egg into his palm.

But in that instant, the egg suddenly burst apart, splattering the flesh and blood of the undeveloped chick all over him.

"I'll screw your grandfather's lover..."

Poisonous Snake went mad with rage and immediately began cursing loudly.

At the same time, several Crimson Blood Eagles in the sky had already circled back. Like lunatics, they chased after the two men.

Poisonous Snake, covered in the chick's blood and bones, had become the absolute kill-on-sight target of several Crimson Blood Eagles.

"Even if you flee to the ends of the earth today, I'll tear you to pieces!"

At that moment, the killing intent in Poisonous Snake's heart could no longer be restrained. Without regard for anything else, he charged after Chu Kuang.

He knew perfectly well that if they split up and fled, he would definitely become the Crimson Blood Eagles' first target. Besides, the smell of the chick's blood and bones on him would likely be impossible to remove anytime soon.

Only by keeping up with Chu Kuang and making him share the pressure could he greatly reduce his own trouble.

"You won't find it so easy to catch me."

Facing Poisonous Snake's pursuit, a faint smile curled at Chu Kuang's lips.

He used Heavenly Dragon Pounces on the Moon to cross hundreds of meters in a flash. Within barely a dozen breaths, he reached the cave entrance, rushed inside, and casually struck the entrance until it completely collapsed.

"Ah, you deserve to die!"

Poisonous Snake was blocked outside the cave. Boundless hatred filled his eyes, but he could only turn and leave at once.

If he were free to dig, he could break through such a collapsed cave in no more than a few breaths. Unfortunately, the Crimson Blood Eagles outside would never give him that chance.

Moreover, Chu Kuang was inside the cave and would not let him enter so easily.

Left with no choice, he could only flee into the distance, while several Crimson Blood Eagles swiftly pursued him.

Only one female eagle remained behind. Desperate to save her young, she frantically dug at the cave with her claws, intending to dig Chu Kuang out and reclaim the eagle egg.

"You're truly seeking death."

Watching the female eagle dig open the entrance and continue widening it in an attempt to dig him out, a cold smile appeared on Chu Kuang's lips.

The Crimson Blood Eagle was powerful because it excelled at flight and speed. Once it landed on the ground and fought in cramped terrain, however, its strength ranked at the bottom among those of the same level.

Thus, Chu Kuang was in no hurry. He gripped his spear with both hands and waited at ease while the Crimson Blood Eagle continued digging.

Very soon, the Crimson Blood Eagle dug through more than twenty meters of mountain rock, its scimitar-like claws slashing toward Chu Kuang.

Chu Kuang lightly evaded the strike, then Golden Spear Piercing the Sun erupted in an instant, thrusting toward the Crimson Blood Eagle's wing.

Within that cramped space, the female eagle had nowhere to dodge. The spear pierced into her left wing through a gap in her feathers, leaving behind a deep wound.

"Shriek—"

The Crimson Blood Eagle immediately let out a miserable cry. Only then did it realize it had fallen into a predicament, and it hurriedly tried to pull itself free.

Unfortunately, how could Chu Kuang possibly give it a chance to escape? He continuously thrust out his spear, every strike piercing through gaps in the Crimson Blood Eagle's feathers and leaving it with fatal wounds.

The Crimson Blood Eagle's feathers were as hard as metal. In the open, Chu Kuang would have found it difficult to penetrate them.

But in this narrow space, Chu Kuang could thrust his spear directly through the gaps between its feathers, and nearly every strike inflicted a fatal injury.

After only a few moves, Chu Kuang's spear pierced the Crimson Blood Eagle's heart, killing it on the spot within the cramped cave.

"Phew—"

After killing the Crimson Blood Eagle, Chu Kuang finally felt the pain throughout his body. Clearly, after consecutively taking attacks from Poisonous Snake and the Crimson Blood Eagles head-on, he had suffered considerable internal injuries as well.

However, this was not the time to heal. He could only use his internal cultivation to steady his condition, then use his internal force to dig out the Crimson Blood Eagle's heart.

Every part of a Crimson Blood Eagle was valuable. The essence of its flesh and blood could be made into Body Tempering Pills, which could support the cultivation of martial artists below Life Level ten.

Its feathers could be used as materials for Zero-Order Flying Battle Armor and were quite valuable outside as well.

Its most precious part, the heart, was one of the materials for Source Energy Potion and had a market price of no less than thirty thousand Federal Coin.

But Chu Kuang had no spatial treasure, nor did he dare to openly drag the corpse away, so he could only bring the heart back with him.

After putting away the Crimson Blood Eagle's heart, Chu Kuang gathered materials on the spot and carved out a one-foot Stone Cauldron, then left the cave.

After leaving the cave and confirming that the Crimson Blood Eagles had not returned, Chu Kuang quickly entered the valley and collected all the Source Energy Treasure Liquid into the Stone Cauldron, obtaining roughly four portions in total.

Besides that, he dug up two Source Energy Treasure Medicines, though he had no time to identify them carefully before hurriedly leaving.

He fled from the valley, crossed several mountains in succession, and only then found a hidden cave to conceal himself in.
