After resting for a while, Austin started his journey again. He was more determined to cultivate and become stronger.
At noon of the following day, Austin found a dense sheltered forest.
He scanned it and suddenly sensed something dangerous.
He immediately hid on a hill outside the dense forest, gazing afar over the sky of the forest and looked very stern.
He saw huge black figures hovering over the sky of that dense forest. These figures were spiraling above him closely, roaring clamorously. At once, the entire dense forest was shrouded by something ruthless and fierce.
The huge figures were level-three blue-scaled eagles.
He hurriedly took the map out from his pocket. And as he thought, the forest was indeed the habitat of blue-scaled eagles. He accidentally came here because of his carelessness and negligence.
From what Austin knew, blue-scaled eagles were sturdy, strong, and powerful. They were covered with feathers which were as hard as steel that they used them for defense.
They attacked their opponents by using their sharp claws and feathers. They were even able to easily tear irons and rocks.
Some senior cultivators estimated that a blue-scaled eagle could attack and prey their quarries when it dived to their targets. With the aid of their sharp claws and wings, these blue-scaled eagles were dreadful like nightmares.
The blue-scaled eagles were ferocious social animals. They would usually swarm forward when they encountered their prey.
Even the senior cultivators at the Earth Realm of vital energy were reluctant to get close to a flock of over thirty blue-scaled eagles.
"Damn it! There are more than twenty blue-scaled eagles in the sky. If I go inside that forest, I will surely die instantly when they all approach me. For sure, I will be shredded into pieces!" Austin mumbled to himself.
Staring at the blue-scaled eagles flying over that dense forest, Austin got a little flurried and anxious.
While lost in his own thoughts, he suddenly heard a shrieking scream. A blue-scaled eagle was flying towards Austin's position.
'What the hell? Did they spot me?' thought Austin.
Out of fear, he dodged away immediately and rolled into a cluster of wild grass. He held his breath and huddled up there motionless.
The blue-scaled eagle flew above Austin. After a few moments, the eagle returned with an about four or five meters long healthy wildcat hanging on its sharp claws. The wildcat was apparently killed with its body covered in blood.
Upon seeing it, Austin hurriedly but quietly moved. He moved closer to the dense forest and hid behind a huge and tall tree. He climbed up to the tree agilely with the aid of his vital energy.
When he reached the top of the tree, he sat down on a branch where he could hide and observe at the same time. And at that moment, he felt relieved.
Based on his current strength, he couldn't just rashly step into the place of level-three demonic beasts.
Austin just sighed at the thought of this.
Usually, only cultivators who had reached a level higher than the Earth Realm would wander in this forest.
... ... ...
As he was waiting at the top of the tree, Austin suddenly heard a clatter of footsteps approaching. The sound of footsteps grew louder and nearer.
It was mid-afternoon, and the sun had showered its light onto the ground of the dense forest. Austin looked down and clearly saw the figures who were coming—three young men and a young woman.
The woman was in her twenties. She was tall and slim, featured with a fair complexion, beautiful eyebrows, and an aquiline nose. She looked a little frivolous, shy and unnatural.
The three men, on the other hand, were in their mid-twenties, dressed neatly and looking composed. They all looked at the woman, apparently infatuated by her good looks.
