Originally, the lush mountain forests were permeated with in an overcast aura. Poisonous insects roamed about, and the roaring beasts were oppressive like thunder. There were vicious tigers, poisonous snakes, as well as other creatures that left behind distinct smells that attacked one’s nostrils, making people’s skin and bones tremble.

Roar…

From within the mountain range, a thunder-like roar could be heard, causing the mountain stones to tumble. The rumbles echoed, the forest violently swayed, and leaves madly flew about. In the distance, large and ferocious beasts roamed about.

A group of kids’ faces were turning pale. There was already some distance between them and Stone Village as they were hiding from the adults. They entered the old forest, but luckily they didn’t enter the vicious beasts’ true dwelling areas.

“Brother Dazhuang, the mountain forest is too dangerous. We are still too young. We shouldn’t go forward anymore.” A small child said with a trembling voice.

They grew up near this mountain forest and naturally knew the dangers associated with it. There were many types of vicious beasts, and even their parents had to be extremely careful when venturing inside this mountain forest, as even they could easily lose their lives.

The children in this group were still young, and there were a total of around ten kids. The leader of that group was precisely that Shi Dazhuang who lifted up that 1,000 jin copper cauldron. He had thick eyebrows, big eyes as well as thick and bulky arms, moreover, his height almost overtook those of some adults. He looked towards another person and asked, “Pi Hou1, how much farther is it?”

Pi Hou’s birth name was Shi Zhonghou and he was born dry and skinny. However, he had great strength as well as being clever and quick-witted. He replied, “I heard from Uncle Linghu that Cliff Village is not very far and is in this direction, so we should be there soon.”

“Shi Hao, what’s your opinion?” Shi Dazhuang asked.

In the past, Shi Hao was only the group of kids’ bum beetle and simple tagged along wherever they went. Ever since he lifted up that copper cauldron and made all the adults look at him like he was a little freak, there was no need to describe the reactions of the kids. He immediately became one of their group’s ‘backbone members’.

“It will be very dangerous if we keep walking.” Little Shi Hao’s voice was sharp and clear, and his clear black and white eyes were darting back and forth as he realistically spoke.

“But the distance from here really isn’t that far.” Shi Dazhuang said.

More than half the children moved and wanted to keep going.

“If you guys want to go, then I am going too.” Little Shi Hao said in a young and immature voice.

Just like this, the group of children once again continued their journey and traveled roughly one li. The big trees began to thin out, and the vegetation became more and more scarce. Vicious beasts appeared more and more frequently, and waves of ominous energy permeated the air.

Within the rugged stone mountains was the large Stone Forest. It was quiet and noiseless, and scattered on the floor were a few large beast’s dead remains, snow white and astonishing.

Pi Hou looked around and said in a soft voice, “It’s right here, I heard Uncle Linghu talk about it before. Their hideout is located on a cliff in the abyss of Stone Forest.”

Shi Dazhuang also lowered his voice and reminded all of the children, “These beast bones are most likely the remains of a beast’s meal. Although at this moment it should not be inside of its nest, we still need to be careful. You absolutely cannot be discovered, otherwise, it’s highly likely that you will lose your lives!”

The ten or so children all grew up within the great desolate area. Their vigilance was extremely high, similar to those of small mountain beasts. They quickly and nimbly hid within the cracks of Stone Forest to cover their bodies. They briefly surveyed their surroundings and utilized the wind to scout out odors. Afterwards, they mutually nodded their heads, and with the vigor of apes and monkeys, they charged into the Stone Forests’ deepest parts.

Along the way, they encountered many skeletal remains. There were ordinary bones that were snow white and enormous, covering roughly five to six meters in length, as well as large millstone-sized beast skulls. They all came from the various vicious beasts and birds that were feasted upon, causing the place to develop a dead atmosphere.

“It needs to rest here for a bit after all. If it reproduces and produces descendants, when our Stone Village’s residents enter the mountain range, they will definitely be faced with this deadly threat!”

“Uncle Linghu and the others have already discussed this for a few days and observed its characteristics and habits.”

These children were mumbling while speeding along. Their speed was extremely fast, and they were like ten little tornadoes as they charged into the Stone Forest abyss.

In front of them was a stone cliff. The area was barren and it became increasingly more silent. There was a huge nest built at the top of the cliff out of strips of black wood, and it emanated a gloomy feeling.

The children, all distantly separated, were hidden between the cracks of the mountain rocks. The black nest was gigantic, and its diameter stretched 10 meters long. Anyone could see that the nest belonged to a vicious bird.

“So it was here!”

“This Green Scaled Eagle wandered for a long time before finally building this gigantic nest. So what Linghu uncle said was true, and its going to have babies?”

The eyes of the group of children sparkled. This was their main goal!

These were all types of really aggressive and powerful birds, and their bodies possessed magical blood. They were extremely difficult to deal with, and if the bird decided to prey on any beast or vicious being, they would be dead … it would be difficult for them to escape alive.

“Under Uncle Linghu and the others’ observations, that male Green Scaled Eagle had not shown itself lately and there was a chance that some unexpected accident happened within the mountain range that caused it to perish. Every day during noontime, a female bird would appear to hunt prey. If we want to get any closer, now is the best opportunity.” Pi Hou said.
