Versatile Mage: I Awakened Nine Stars

Chapter 136 The mysterious dome of the Ancient Eagle's Nest

The ice cave is not dark, because the walls are embedded with countless ice fragments, some at the spirit level and some at the soul level.

These are the main materials for artificially synthesizing ice elemental soul seeds and elemental spirit seeds. They are valuable. I didn't expect that there are a lot of them here like ordinary stones.

Xu Shen's eyes turned green. If he hadn't been concerned about those extremely cold ancient eagles, he would have bald these ice caves.

The glacier tunnel continues to extend inward, and sunlight cannot penetrate. Even if it is illuminated by ice fragments, it becomes darker and darker.

On the icicles deeper, there are countless frozen and bloody monsters, which is horrifying to see.

Even Mu Ningxue, who had always been taciturn and indifferent, couldn't help but lean towards Xu Shen.

"Don't worry, it's okay."

Xu Shen had learned about the habits of the ancient arctic eagles. These terrifying-looking frozen demons were actually the food they used to survive the long cold winter.

He patted Mu Ningxue's hand gently to express comfort. Unexpectedly, it was held back, and the weak and boneless hands tightly grasped his hand, interlocking their fingers.

Xu Shen was startled and glanced at the expressionless Mu Ningxue.

"Xu Shen, look." Mu Ningxue pointed diagonally upward in the ice cave with her other hand as if nothing had happened.

A little eagle with no hair on its body came out crookedly, fell down with a splash, and slid more than ten meters before stopping with its face on the smooth glacier.

It chirped in aggrieved tone.

Xu Shen's face turned green. He shouted so loudly to attract his mother. How could he survive?

He made a prompt decision, the moon-white dimensional light around him flashed, and a mysterious and complex mark was about to be branded on the little eagle's forehead.

But at this moment, he accidentally saw a female arctic ancient eagle flying from the edge of the cliff and hovering at the entrance of an inconspicuous small hole.

Xu Shen was so frightened that he immediately dissipated the magic.

Almost, I had to report it to the Lord of Hell!

The Arctic Ancient Eagle is not as good-tempered as the Tianshan Devil Tiger. The cub was kidnapped under his nose, so it would be strange if Xu Shen could survive to see the sun tomorrow.

Xu Shen and Mu Ningxue held their breaths. The two of them were close to each other, leaning against the stone wall, not daring to move.

After a while, the sharp beak of the female eagle pecked open the old ice, took out a demon as big as a calf, and flew away from the place with the young eagle in her arms.

Xu Shen breathed a sigh of relief.

The arctic ancient eagles like the vast sky. They don't even send members to patrol ice caves like this where food is stored, because there are not many monsters in the Tianshan Mountains who dare to steal their food.

"Okay, it's safe now. Let's go and have a look at the vertical cave." Xu Shen pointed to the cave where the eaglet fell just now.

The little white tiger had already run away one step ahead of them, probably going in there.

The cave was extremely narrow, so Xu Shen and Mu Ningxue bent forward one after the other. After walking for a long time, they came to a wide cave.

"Easy~~~"

"Easy~~~"

There are wisps of light reflected by ice crystals in the cave, and there are many young and dancing figures in the light and shadow.

They make a thin, high-pitched sound that sounds extremely joyful.

If you look closely, you will see that there are all eaglets without all their fur. They are all plump and look like toddlers.

"Is this... the nursery of Jihan Ancient Eagle?" Xu Shen was amazed.

"Xu Shen, look, are those eagle eggs down there?" Mu Ningxue pointed to the lower part of the ice cave. There was a thin layer of ice covering it. Under the thin ice, the eagle eggs were shining faintly like diamonds. of brilliance.

"It's true!" Xu Shen was overjoyed. If these eagle eggs could be taken out, I wonder how much they could be sold for!

Xu Shen observed the ice cave environment.

There is sunlight falling from above. No matter how high it is, it must be connected to the nests of adult ancient eagles, and the real entrance must be guarded by extremely powerful eagles.

They certainly never imagined that their cubs would secretly dig a tunnel leading to the ice cellar where food is stored, and they never imagined that someone would enter the heavily guarded nursery through the place where they stored food...

"Creatures above the monarch level have the habit of leaving their breath on their young or eggs. If we touch these eggs, we will definitely be discovered. It will be difficult to steal them under their noses," Mu Ningxue reminded With.

"Isn't there a little white tiger?" Xu Shen pouted.

He had long discovered the little white tiger among the eagles. What was strange was that it seemed to have a pretty harmonious relationship with these young eagles. This guy must have been sneaking around to play with these young eagles. Since he brought them here, he must have a solution.

The little white tiger howled excitedly when he saw Xu Shen and Mu Ningxue coming in.

"Keep your voice down!" Xu Shen's heart tightened, for fear of attracting the attention of the adult Furukawa.

"Eyah~~Eyah~~" The little white tiger stood up and made gestures with his two small fists.

"What is it saying?"

"It seems to be saying that the contracted beast you want is down there," Mu Ningxue translated without guessing.

"These eagle eggs?"

The little white tiger shook his head, stuck out his plump, plush butt, pushed away a piece of ice stone, swung his tail, and looked at Xu Shen and Mu Ningxue triumphantly.

"You mean to let us in?"

The little white tiger nodded, squinting his eyes and smiling very cutely.

Xu Shen was doubtful and climbed into the dark cave.

The chiseled marks on the stone wall of this cave were exactly the same as the vertical cave he entered before. Obviously, these energetic young eagles were doing it when they had nothing to do.

This cave is longer than the previous one.

Strangely, Xu Shen got hotter and hotter as he climbed.

Soon I was sweating profusely.

"What exactly is here?" Xu Shen was puzzled.

After a long time, he finally reached his destination.

This is an empty cave, with a bright red oval egg larger than a human being placed in a nest covered with layers of fiery red feathers.

This egg exudes a dim red light, reflecting the mysterious and mysterious lines on the egg's body.

"Is this the contract beast you found for me?" Xu Shen looked at the little white tiger with an expression asking for credit.

He was convinced that this egg was truly remarkable.

He understood somewhat why the Eagle's nursery was built there.

No wonder the temperature in the baby room was much higher than the surroundings. Even the ancient eagle eggs laid on the ground did not need the female eagle to hatch.

Now, he understood.

The heat provided by this egg is enough to support the hatching of these eggs.

"If you take it away..." Xu Shen hesitated.

If there are only a few eggs of the Extremely Cold Ancient Eagle, that's all.

Those stupid hawks will naturally blame the blame on their mortal enemies.

But this egg is obviously closely related to the hatching of those eggs in the thin ice.

If so many ancient eagle eggs are affected and become dead eggs, then the rampaging ancient eagles will most likely not recognize their relatives, which may affect the humans living at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains.

He told Mu Ningxue his concerns.

"Powerful monarch-level creatures like the Arctic Ancient Eagle rarely live in groups," Mu Ningxue explained thoughtfully, "Perhaps it was the appearance of this egg that changed their habits. We took it away These eggs may be a good thing for maintaining the ecological balance of Tianshan Mountains."

"Ok?"

"The two overlord-level creatures in Tianshan are the Arctic Ancient Eagle and the Tianshan Demon Tiger. But Xu Shen, look, there are too many Arctic Ancient Eagles. Since the little white tiger brought us here to get eggs, he must have it. reasons."

At this time, the little white tiger's eyes showed a look of wisdom that was very inconsistent with its age. It nodded solemnly, urging Xu Shen to take the egg as soon as possible.

"Real or false?" Xu Shen was doubtful.

"Don't worry about taking it," Mu Ningxue encouraged: "The Arctic Ancient Eagle attaches great importance to its young. When they discover the temperature change in the nest, they will definitely take measures and will not let the situation you mentioned happen. "
