The Bone-Dissolving Blood Vine and the Attack of the Golden Eagles

"I could do that all along."

With one hand being held by Leng Yehan and eating a level-3 crystal nucleus the size of a ping-pong ball with the other, Yun Cheng answered casually without realizing how terrifying his power was.

"In other words, it wasn't something accidental, and you can usually control it?"

His worry was uncalled for if this was the case.

Yun Cheng tilted his head and thought for a moment before nodding his head, "Yeah."

Everyone treated him very well, and he usually didn't have the opportunity to use it. Yun Cheng was a little confused about what his brother was trying to say.

"So can you make your opponent explode only upon contact? Or are you able to conjure your superfunction for attacking?"

If Cheng could only attack at close range and being the clean freak that he was, he probably wouldn't be able to fight alone unless absolutely necessary. Yun Che got really worried and even started to regret raising him up to be such a clean freak.

"Like this?"

"Boommm…"

"Errrr…"

Yun Cheng simply blinked, stretched out his hand and clenched his fist to conjure a ball of light before pushing it out, and the tree next to him collapsed immediately. Yun Che's mouth twitched upon realizing that he had underestimated his brother. It wasn't true that he couldn't attack from a distance, he just didn't know how to. He had merely proposed a concept, and he knew how to do it right away. For some reason, Yun Che strongly felt that his intelligence was once again crushed by Yun Cheng even though the latter hadn't regained his.

Having noticed the change in his emotions, Xing Feng squeezed his hand to comfort him. After getting shocked a few times, he was relatively calm this time even though his heart also felt a little heavy. He thought it would be difficult to fight the zombies if they had such terrifying destructive power upon reaching the same level as Yun Cheng.

"Alright."

After a long while, Yun Che had no choice but to make a quick gesture to Leng Yehan with his eye, pushing the responsibility to him. He believed Leng Yehan would tell Yun Cheng clearly things like how to use his superfunction, who to use it on, etc.

Looking at his side profile that was exactly the same as Yun Che's, Xing Feng couldn't help but also dote on him like his younger brother. Yun Cheng, who couldn't even express himself well when he had just stepped out of the Space, was now able to communicate with them fluently, and had also learned how to use electronic gadgets like computers, mobile phones and tablets. Today, he had even amazed them more than once. Although he was growing at a shocking speed, there was one thing that hadn't changed—he was still pure and innocent, and had distinct emotions, which made him the direct opposite of Yun Che. The only similarity the two brothers had was that both of them were very good at fighting.

Xing Feng heard that Yun Cheng was previously a straight A student, and he believed it now. Otherwise, how could he have such sharp awareness?

"Be careful."

When the four of them together with the two beasts were about to reach the edge of the cliff, Yun Che suddenly raised his hand to stop them. Everyone looked down and saw that there were fuchsia vines all around the entrance of the cliff. Their palm-sized leaves were diamond-shaped, and their black and red vines that were as thick as rolling pins looked good with the fuchsia leaves. However, upon closer look, one would realize that the leaves and vines were moving slightly in their direction. If they moved forward a few more steps, the vines would definitely attack them.

"So this is the Bone-dissolving Blood Vine?"

Xing Feng closed his eyes and took a sniff—the vines seemed to exude a very pleasant scent.

"Yes, their roots should be under the cliff. You guys wait here and watch out for the mutant beasts around you. Heiyu and I will go down the cliff to get the vines.

Yun Che gave a nod and jumped on Heiyu's back. They would only need to bring a section of the vine back for the wood superfunction processors to expedite its growth if they were planting it on a small-scale. However, Chaoyang was too big and he needed it to fill the entire community right away. Moreover, he also needed to boil water with the roots, so he had to find their roots and dig them out.

"Be careful."

Xing Feng wasn't really worried as he knew that Yun Che's air superfunction would prevent him from being discovered by the vines. After Yun Che nodded at them while sitting on Heiyu's back, a layer of air membrane enveloped them the moment Heiyu took a jump, and the two of them soon disappeared from the cliff. Once the god beast wasn't around, the surrounding woods began to move and various beasts appeared, showing their fangs.

"Arh-wooo…"

The Wolf King howled with his head up, and the beasts that had just appeared quickly ran back into the woods. Other than the zombies, the mutant beasts were also at most around level-3, so the Wolf King who was about to reach level-4 was still very much feared.

"You're awesome, Wolf King!"

Yun Cheng clapped his hands in excitement and wasn't scared at all. After exchanging glances, Leng Yehan and Xing Feng withdrew their superfunctions. It seemed like they had worried too much. Although Heiyu wasn't around, there was still the Wolf King, who was once the King of the Forest.

"Zoom…"

The moment they heaved a sigh of relief, they heard a piercing sound in the air followed by a whistle. A brown-headed eagle with golden feathers, at least three meters tall and with a wingspan of about eight meters, swooped down from the top of their heads, aiming at the Wolf King with its sharp beak and claws.

"Arh-wooo…"

The Wolf King howled and instantly turned into its mutant form. However, instead of dashing up, he turned and ran backwards. After getting out of the attack range of the blood vines, he leaped back in the air and pressed his sharp fangs against the golden eagle's neck.

"Clang clang…"

Their sharp claws touched each other's body the first time they collided head-on. However, because the feathers of the golden eagle and the body of the Wolf King had been strengthened after mutation, there were only a series of collision sounds, and neither of them seemed to be injured.

"What a big golden eagle."

Xing Feng exclaimed after rushing over. The golden eagle belonged to the eagle family, and was a widely known beast. It was well-known for its outstanding appearance as well as its agile and powerful flight. An adult eagle has an average wingspan of over two meters and a body length of up to one meter. The world's largest golden eagle that is found in Italy has a wingspan of close to three meters, and its sharp claws can hold objects over twenty kilograms. However, the so-called largest golden eagle in the world seemed to be nothing compared to this particular golden eagle which had a body length of at least three meters and a wingspan of about eight meters. Since it dared to attack the Wolf King, it must also be on its way to reaching level-4.

"Didn't Yun Che say he wanted to get you a pet?"

Seeing that the eagle was worthy of Xing Feng, Leng Yehan turned to look at him and struck up a conversation with him for once. Although he initially didn't approve of Yun Che and Xing Feng's relationship, it was now pointless for him to have any objection. Moreover, Xing Feng seemed true to Yun Che from his observation

"Haha…I prefer to conquer it myself!"

With that said, Xing Feng suddenly accelerated and shouted out to the Wolf King before jumping onto the latter's back, aiming his golden ribbons at the eagle hovering in the air.

"Coo…"

The huge golden eagle made a sudden turn in the air, dodging the golden ribbons before screeching and diving down.

"Bang…"

The Wolf King quickly jumped away. The golden eagle's sharp beak hit the tree, and the thick tree actually broke in half.

"Clang clang…"

Xing Feng, who was on the back of the Wolf King, shot gold-enhanced bullets at the golden eagle before it could even react. Seeing the bullets that could usually penetrate zombies easily having no effect on the eagle, Xing Feng threw out the golden ribbons again with his other hand and wrapped it around the neck of the golden eagle, stopping it from taking off. He wasn't going to let it return to the sky where eagles dominated.

"Coo…"

The golden eagle who was caught by the neck screamed and struggled frantically, flying towards Xing Feng with its huge body almost touching the ground. Its wings spread out like sharp blades, cutting all the trees and flowers they came into contact with. This was largely because Yun Cheng had earlier on destroyed all the mutant trees around, and the remaining one were ordinary trees. Otherwise, it was impossible for the golden eagle's wings to be so sharp even after mutation.

"Bang bang…"

As even the claws of the golden eagle were covered in feathers and the gold-enhanced bullets couldn't penetrate its natural armor, Xing Feng targeted its weakness and aimed the bullets at its eyes. Unfortunately, the golden eagle seemed intelligent and managed to dodge the bullets every time by closing its wings. The Wolf King coordinated with Xing Feng's attack and kept retreating in order not to let the golden eagle get close to them, but…

"Zoom…"

Just when they reached a stalemate, they heard a piercing sound above their heads again, and a golden eagle larger than the one fighting with Xing Feng and the Wolf King swooped down together with at least another eight slightly smaller eagles.

"Cheng, help attack them!"

Leng Yehan, who had been watching at the side, immediately conjured blades of fire and threw them out to stop the golden eagles from getting near Xing Feng and the Wolf King. Unfortunately, the leading huge eagle merely flapped its wings, and his blades of fire fell and scattered everywhere.

"Don't bully Hanhan!"

"Bang bang…"

Yun Cheng stepped forward and stood in front of Leng Yehan, quickly conjuring a ball of light with his hands and throwing it out. The leading huge eagle was blown away, and the eagles behind it didn't manage to get off the hook either. Although the gold-enhanced bullets couldn't penetrate them, the blasting light ball forced them to retreat, causing a large ball of feathers to fall off from wherever it came into contact with.

"Zoom…"

Leng Yehan waited for the opportunity and casted out blades of fire right after the ball of light. After the ball of light blew up the feathers of the golden eagles, the blades of fire pierced their bodies. Without their feathers as armor, the golden eagles were like ordinary birds and weren't terrifying at all. The two of them teamed up and managed to kill three golden eagles very quickly.

"Cheng, here too!"

Xing Feng, who was fighting the first golden eagle, shouted out when he saw what happened. Yun Cheng looked back in a daze and instinctively threw out a ball of light.

"Bang!"

"Ooohh…"

The ball of light hit the left wing of the golden eagle and instantly blew up his feathers, leaving the golden eagle screeching in pain. Xing Feng seized the opportunity to insert the golden ribbons around its neck into its wings, stabbing the eagle.

"Surrender or die?"

Riding on the Wolf King, Xing Feng came to the golden eagle and held it up. Blood from the golden eagle's wounds had already stained the ground.

"Oooh…"

The golden eagle whimpered while looking at him, seemingly unwilling to surrender. Just when Xing Feng was about to continue with his coercion, the largest golden eagle went above their heads and dived swiftly. Just as it was about to stab its sharp beak into Xing Feng's head, a huge black figure suddenly shot out from the entrance of the cliff.

"Roar!"

An earth-shaking roar could be heard throughout the deep forest, and there were sounds of heavy objects falling in the surrounding woods. The huge eagle attacking Xing Feng trembled and fell to the ground, shrinking its body at the same time as the golden eagle caught by Xing Feng. Xing Feng also clearly felt the Wolf King he was riding on tremble before laying down, as though he was welcoming the arrival of a king.
