The eagle flapped its wings and flew quickly, almost forming a black track in the blue sky, quickly heading towards the north.
It is maintained at a height of ten feet above the ground to ensure sufficient vision and to observe the remaining panda footprints below.
"There was no concealment of whereabouts along the way, and the footprints were of the same depth, indicating that they probably didn't find me and were just on their way." It quickly made a judgment.
This eagle has rich hunting experience. It has tracked thousands of miles many times, and finally disemboweled the prey with its last talon. Usually, it can be sure just by seeing the traces left by the target.
But this time, everything was going smoothly, but the Eagle's heart was still uneasy, and there was no sense of certainty of victory like in the past.
"What went wrong?"
On the mountain path, Red Fox Red Cloud jumped to the top of a tree, looked ahead and said happily: "Beishan is almost here."
Along the way, it walked on tenterhooks and felt uncomfortable all over.
Hongyun only remembered that she was frightened and fainted by Maruwan's roar. When she woke up, she found the ferocious iron-eating beast squatting next to her and looking at her with strange eyes.
If Zhu An hadn't comforted him, he would have fainted again.
In the end, he just barely mustered up the courage to complete the next task assigned by Kitayama Zhizhu - to take Panda Marumaru back to Kitayama.
With such a big monster following behind him, Hongyun felt a chill running down his spine, as if Marumaru would rush up and tear him apart at the next moment.
And for some reason, its tail was sore and numb, making it uncomfortable.
Could it be the sequelae of excessive fright?
Fortunately, Beishan is not far away and this thrilling journey is finally coming to an end.
Hongyun breathed a long sigh of relief and said secretly:
"I'm worthy of the jade crystal fruit given by Beishan Zhizhu. If you still want me to do dangerous things, then I must add more fruit!"
It leaned down and jumped down from the tree, glanced warily at the panda behind it, and quickly moved a few steps forward to distance itself.
"Hmph." Maruwan stared at the big tail swinging in front of him with dark circles under his eyes, expressing disdain for this timid fox.
He was possessed by the Bamboo of the North Mountain and then defeated his own monster. Is this what he is?
Marumaru didn't even want to look at it, so he began to recall the one-sided battle in the valley, and speculated on the strength of Kitayama no Bamboo.
"If you possess a fox, you can easily defeat me. It must be more than an ordinary great demon."
"That's it - a high-level demon? A level similar to that of my mother, plus some mysterious means, it's enough to crush me."
Maruwan has forgotten about the ancestor of the Iron-Eating Tribe. In its mind, the Great Demon of the Upper Realm is already a super powerful existence.
It knew that Zhu An's spiritual thoughts were nearby, so it simply asked for confirmation:
"Beishan Zhizhu, are you a high-level demon?"
Then I heard a reply with a smile, "Absolutely."
"I guessed it right." Maruwan rubbed the dark circles under his eyes, feeling satisfied with his eyesight.
The next moment, the cold wind suddenly picked up, and a biting sense of crisis suddenly came.
Maruwan didn't see anything, he already bared his teeth instinctively, and the hair on his body stood on end.
A powerful monster is approaching!
Turning around and looking, a black shadow shuttled through the air, getting closer and closer to it.
A hundred feet away, there was a strong breath blowing towards his face like a cold wind.
"This big demon... is very fierce." Maruwan swallowed, a little nervous.
Just by looking at the aura, one can tell that the visitor is quite powerful and is probably close to the level of a high-level demon.
The demon bird has the talent of flying and can advance and retreat. It has the absolute initiative when fighting the land demon beasts and has obvious advantages.
It can't be beaten or run away. It feels more difficult to deal with than the red fox possessed by bamboo before.
Wanwan's scalp suddenly went numb. It hasn't grown up yet. Why does it always encounter such strong opponents?
"Beishan Zhizhi, if we work together, can we stop it?" it asked guiltily.
In its eyes, this bamboo is quite powerful. If the main body is here, it should be able to deal with strong enemies. Unfortunately, it has not reached Beishan yet...
Zhu An was observing the hawk demon in the sky and identifying the source of its aura.
It's Black Eagle Cliff.
"That little bird on the cliff has now been promoted to the Demon King. Time flies so fast." He sighed and felt a little regretful, "That little bird has quite a talent, but it's a pity that he didn't go on the right path."
Different paths will determine different fates.
"But this time, it was lucky."
The panda footprints discovered by Eagle were actually left intentionally by him.
As soon as he heard that Marumaru was torturing the Qishan Monster Clan with great fanfare, he knew that sooner or later the enemies of the Iron-eating Beast would receive the news and come to arrest him.
Zhu An directly prepared a route for them.
It's a pity that the one who came this time was just a little shrimp, which was not interesting.
If you are lucky, it will be the Black-winged Eagle King from Black Eagle Cliff who is known as "Deceive the Sky Three Hundred Miles"...
"Zhuzi, please say something. You won't run away, right?" Maruman's voice sounded again, and his voice was trembling faintly.
The eagle is getting closer and closer, almost charging straight towards us, looking very intimidating.
Wanwan couldn't help but be a little scared and wanted to get a sense of security from Zhu An.
However, it was afraid of returning, so it still insisted on standing where it was, and its thin body began to accumulate strength, preparing for a battle.
The little head was raised high and he gritted his teeth and said:
"We, the iron-eaters, are not easy to bully!"
Zhu An couldn't help laughing when he saw this.
It seems quite interesting to raise such a little guy in the mountains from now on.
"Don't worry, this harpy can't see you, just stand still and don't move."
Finally hearing the voice of Kitayama Notake, Marumaru felt much more at ease, but these words sounded a bit outrageous.
"Can't see me? How is it possible-"
The sound stopped suddenly, and Marumaru looked up at the sky in shock.
The eagle rushed straight towards it, then passed directly above its head, and continued to fly into the distance, its figure getting smaller and smaller.
He didn't even look down at it.
"What's going on?" Wanwan was a little confused.
After a few clatters, Hongyun's head suddenly emerged from the grass nearby and said proudly:
"Beishan Zhizhu is good at advanced illusions, even those in the realm of great demons can't see through them."
"Is this okay?" Maruwan's eyes were opened. Looking back on his previous experience in the valley, it was difficult to tell whether a battle was real or fake. It was indeed a very high illusion, and he couldn't help but marvel.
However, looking at Hongyun's cheerful appearance, Maruwan didn't want to seem like he had never seen the world, so he curled his lips:
"Why are you so happy? You just ran away when you saw the hawk demon. You are so cowardly. You are embarrassing the Beishan Zhizhu!"
Hongyun felt a little aggrieved and shrank her head back. Then she remembered that Zhu An was also there, and it was easy to pick up the pills. What did she have to be afraid of?
So it mustered up the courage, stretched out its paws, and pointed at Marumaru's feet.
"Didn't your legs tremble with fear just now? Look, they dug two holes in the ground."
"I don't know what you're talking about." Wanwan said with a calm face, and quietly smoothed the two small holes with his foot.
Then he quickly changed the subject and asked: "Then why did the harpy appear here? Is it coming for me?"
"Of course." Zhu An explained, "The iron-eating clan has declined, but the enemies from back then are basically still there. You have been too public recently, and you have attracted them."
Marumaru was extremely surprised, "Qishan is thousands of miles away from my hometown, how can they still come here?"
It thought that when it came to the distant Qishan Mountain and became a big demon again, its situation would become safer, so it dared to show its face.
It seems now that it is fortunate that the Bamboo from the North Mountain arrived first, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
"It's so dangerous." Maruwan rubbed his head, and besides being frightened, there was also a hint of joy in holding him in his lap.
Although it is not clear what this mysterious bamboo wants to do, it can feel that Zhu An has no ill intentions and has been helping him.
So it patted its chest and pretended to be heroic:
"Thanks to you this time, we iron-eating beasts will repay our kindness. If we find something delicious in the future, we will share it with you!"
"OK."
On the top of the mountain in the distance, Zhu An stood alone. The dark green bamboo pole swayed gently, and the layers of leaves made a friction sound, as if they were laughing.
Maruwan also grinned stupidly, his two black ears swaying slightly.
They looked together and saw an eagle flying farther and farther in the blue sky, until finally there was only a small black dot left...
