Chapter 4: The Tian Shan Mountains

  Everyone who saw the appearance of the words was shocked, and those who were timid even trembled with fear, almost wetting their pants.

  Covered in blood, one eye socket empty, a mixture of red and white stuff seeping out, some still hanging there, not washed clean by the blood. A piece of scalp was gone, revealing fresh red flesh underneath, what used to be a head of silver hair now completely red, strands falling down, bloodstains not yet fully dry, dripping slowly onto the ground with a "plop, plop" sound.

  "Ugh!"

  Some people couldn't help but vomit, and then more people joined in.

  But there will always be bold ones.

  "Oh dear, you're really old and immortal, what's wrong with you? Hurry up and get a doctor to come and treat you!"

  A loud shout awakened all the stunned people.

  Although it's a bit of an eyesore and doesn't quite live up to the "divine" appearance, the substance is still there. Flattering them a bit can't hurt, after all.

  Everyone suddenly became busy, seven mouths and eight tongues came up with ideas and suggestions, the noise was chaotic and deafening.

  His eyes flashed with anger and his face turned even more ferocious, as if he wanted to kill everyone around him. However, these insignificant people were all helping him achieve his goal of completing his cultivation, and many small ants can bite an elephant to death. If he really took action, Tian Shui City would become his burial ground.

  "Endure, must endure. That beast cannot fly far even if it escapes. First get through the immediate hurdle and then go kill him."

  Zi Lei was also stunned, but such a good opportunity, if he didn't seize it and escape, he would truly be a fool.

  The wings aren't very useful, but the two legs are quite powerful. With a strong kick on the ground and a couple of flaps of the wings, it can fly up to low altitudes. Although it's just gliding, and not much different from flying chickens, it'll soon fall back down to the ground. Still, it's faster than running with two legs.

  But where to go?

  The world is so big, where is my home?

  He walked out of the mansion and suddenly felt dazed.

  Qizhi can't go back, his body has been cremated and the ashes have been buried in a chaotic tomb. Now this appearance, saying he is Qilei, who would believe it? If not careful, he might even be taken as a monster and sent to Yandao - Yandao is good at slaying monsters and demons.

  Slaying demons and eliminating evil?

  Humph! What a great demon-slaying and evil-eradicating move!

  He was filled with indignation again, but lowered his head and looked at his own eagle body, and couldn't help but secretly sigh.

  Monster, doesn't my current appearance make me a monster!!

  He thought to himself with a self-deprecating smile, but suddenly an idea flashed through his mind.

  The Tian Shan mountain range!

  Since you're a monster, then go back to your lair!

  The Tianshan Mountains are very close to Tianshui City, and it can even be said that the entire city of Tianshui is part of the Tianshan Mountains.

  Of course, the Heavenly Water City is only the outer part of the Heavenly Mountain Range. The real range has no one dared to enter deeply. It's said that there are powerful demons there, each with boundless power, able to uproot mountains and traverse seas, and can rival the people of the "Mystical World". Qi Lei even suspects that these powerful demons themselves belong to a part of the "Mystical World".

  "Staying in Tianshui City is certain death, going to the ancient vein of Tian Shan still has a chance of survival."

  He thought silently, looked deeply at the direction where the Qi family was located, exerted his legs, flapped his wings, and resolutely headed towards the Tian Shan ancient vein.

  Although the speech was temporarily blocked, it will definitely not give up. It won't be long before it catches up. Relying solely on jumping and gliding is no way to escape one's fate of death. Moreover, the scalp on his paws still hasn't been shaken off. But it wasn't that he couldn't shake it off, rather, what was found underneath the scalp was surprisingly that yellow booklet.

  The booklet's paper was unusually tough, and even when he stabbed it with his claws, it only left an impression without any signs of damage. If not for the fresh blood on his scalp sticking them together, he wouldn't have been able to take them away even if he wanted to.

  But now, he would risk his life to take the booklet far away.

  This is the most cherished thing of Yandao, except for himself, no one else dares to take a look, it's as precious as his life.

  "I'm going to get you!"

  He thought that it would be a relief, even if it was inconvenient, to throw it into the Tian Shan mountains, where no one would ever find it.

  Fortunately, as the number of jumps increased, his skills gradually became more sophisticated, and his wings slowly unfolded. Without intentionally flapping hard, the distance he glided also became farther and farther away, until finally, without even landing, he could fly for a long time in low altitude.

  Of course, it's just low-flying, once you ascend to high altitude, the wind will become stronger, making it impossible for him to grasp balance, twisting and turning as if seriously injured, having no choice but to fall back down.

  Even so, this progress made him overjoyed and greatly increased his confidence in escaping.

  Before long, the vast forest appeared before his eyes. Once he fell into it, he would be like a fish in the ocean or a tiger in the mountains, and it wouldn't be easy to catch him anymore.

  It's finally here!

  It's time to take a break and rest for a while.

  He let out a long sigh of relief.

  Although the eagle's legs were strong, they couldn't withstand the numerous ups and downs. Flapping its wings didn't require too much strength, but controlling direction was extremely mentally taxing. Moreover, not long ago, it had just gone through an incredibly perilous battle, and it could be said that it almost died on the spot. Its spirit was already extremely tense and exhausted.

  It can be said that his spirit and body have reached their limits and urgently need a rest.

  Just as Zire thought of finding a place to land, a loud shout suddenly came from the ground behind him.

  "Look quickly, it's that eagle, grab it!"

  A large crowd rushed over, among whom were not only ordinary people, but also a team of well-trained soldiers. They held sharp arrows in their hands and wore long knives at their waists, fully armed. After seeing Qi Lei, they excitedly shouted and danced with joy, hastily bending their bows and loading the arrows, aiming at the sky.

  "Whoosh, whoosh-----"

  A hail of arrows, like death itself, flew into the air.

  Zi Lei was shocked and lost his composure, his heart racing with anxiety.

  His flying skills were really terrible and he could only barely stay in the low altitude, not even able to dodge arrows, simply a living target.

  He played this move too well and immediately grasped his weakness.

  "No way, if I'm shot dead by them, it would be too unjust."

  Having come this far, just as we are about to escape and turn our lives around, we absolutely cannot afford to falter at the last step.

  "It's better to fall and die on the ground than to be pierced by ten thousand arrows."

  He flew into a rage and didn't dodge the incoming arrow, instead flapping his wings wildly and shooting straight up into the high sky.

  The wind grew stronger and stronger, making a "whooshing" sound in his ears. He was like a feather blown about, drifting left and right, unable to maintain his balance. His wings seemed useless, even though they were still spread wide, only allowing more wind to blow against him, making him dizzy and disoriented, almost wanting to retract his troublesome wings.

  At such a high altitude, the arrow branches naturally couldn't reach him, and in fact, everyone had already lost sight of his existence.

  But he still felt it was not safe enough, no matter whether the wings were effective or not, as if by instinct, he flapped them desperately.

  The cunning of the words, he has already learned enough, and at some point, there will be new tricks again, and he will not stop until he reaches his goal. The sinister plan will come one after another, and only by hiding far away can there be a chance to escape.

  The wild wind blew his hair into disarray, his body was cold, but fortunately after the chaos earlier, he finally came to himself, slowly finding the rhythm and melody of the wind, his body now much steadier.

  Many times, people are forced out, and so-called strength is just a helpless compromise.

  However, when he let out a breath of relief and lowered his head to look down, he couldn't help but be shocked.

  Endless and boundless forest, with the mountain range rising and falling, like a green garment of the earth, occasionally with a small lake, like a crystal clear gemstone, reflecting brilliant light, inlaid in the green.

  Too beautiful to behold!

  The Tianshan Mountains were so beautiful!

  He was immediately stunned, unable to close his eyes, staring fixedly as if he wanted to engrave everything into his soul.

  Unconsciously, he began to descend, the eagle's instinct to soar, at this moment, was fully revealed. A pair of wings stretched out freely, occasionally flapping to change direction, like a sprite dancing in the wind, far more smooth than his deliberate control, and could even be said to be flawless.

  "Ah!"

  He fell on top of a giant tree.

  Until this moment, he had just woken up from the shock, but suddenly remembered the flying experience just now, and was so surprised that he almost fainted. He couldn't believe it, looking left and right, and found that he had indeed landed accurately on the giant tree, without any injury to his body, and had to sigh in admiration.

  "It turns out that there is no need to deliberately control it, and relying on instinct can fly smoothly."

  After experiencing life and death, he finally realized that the truth was always by his side, but he had never dared to believe it.

  He finally put his mind at ease, grasped the way of flight, and no longer had to fear the pursuit of the word's killing, at least preserving his life was no longer a problem.

  And after tumbling in the air for half a day, even he only knew that he had fallen into a beautiful valley, as for the specific location, whether it was deep in the Tian Shan Mountains or still on the outskirts of the mountains, I believe no one is clear, including Shendao himself.

  It's completely safe now!

  He let out a long sigh, feeling his whole body weak and numb, wave after wave of drowsiness surged up to his head, and he couldn't help but doze off.

  It was unknown how much time had passed, perhaps it was just one night or maybe longer. When he woke up again, he saw the sunshine all over the land, birds chirping and flowers blooming, a peaceful scene everywhere.

  "Gulu!"

  The scenery is beautiful, but it can't be eaten as food, his stomach growled in protest.

  The scalp on his claws still had a yellow booklet stuck to it, but it was dry and didn't arouse his appetite at all. Instead, there was a faint fragrance coming from not far away, which was extremely tempting and made him drool.

  He hastily shook his head, exerted his claws, dug a small hole in the tree trunk, put the booklet inside, and then rushed towards the fragrance with great impatience.

  He was so hungry that he felt even a cow head could be eaten!

  PT thief, building station is easy!
