Since Ru Meng's home has been discovered, he certainly won't stay there any longer, and will definitely find a new place. It's just unknown where he's planning to go.

Time has changed very quickly, quickly enough that someone goes from knowing each other to parting ways in an instant.

Ling Zhenfei turned and ran towards the direction of the cliff. He enhanced the Northern Spiritual Energy in his body, moving very fast, like a nimble monkey jumping back and forth in the towering ancient forest.

Soon, he arrived near the cliff. Ling Zhenfei deliberately chose a large tree and climbed to its top, from where he could see everything clearly.

Ling Zhenfei hid himself within the big tree and projected his soul directly towards the direction of the cliff.

At this moment, a fierce battle was taking place by the cliff—a group of Eagles and a group of Chi Tigers were fiercely fighting.

Indeed, the Chi Tigers are formidable. Their figures were already massive, plus they were enhanced with Northern Spiritual Energy, enabling them to leap over ten meters high. Despite the Eagles appearing to have the advantage of height, they were barely gaining the upper hand when faced with the stacked Chi Tigers.

The three Chi Tigers were battling against seven or eight Eagles. These Eagles were soaring like arrows from the sky, diving towards the Chi Tigers. Although their speed was incredibly quick, the Chi Tigers were extremely agile, making them hard to attack.

Conversely, the Chi Tigers swatted at those diving Eagles, sending feathers flying everywhere. Ling Zhenfei arrived just in time to witness the intense clash between Chi Tigers and Eagles. Clearly, the Chi Tigers came for their young, but, unable to retrieve them, they started this fight.

All seven or eight young Eagles in the sky were injured. The Chi Tigers' claws are extremely sharp—one swipe not only causes feathers to fall but also leaves scratches on their bodies.

The seven or eight young Eagles, continuously circling from above, no longer dared to attack the Chi Tigers.

What puzzled Ling Zhenfei greatly was the absence of the Giant Eagle, whose whereabouts were unknown.

If the Giant Eagle were here, these Chi Tigers wouldn't be acting so arrogantly.

Another point that baffled Ling Zhenfei was the absence of the Giant Python. According to Ling Zhenfei's thoughts, the Giant Python and the Giant Eagle should be allied.

Last time, during their close cooperation in besieging him, there was no sign of any discord between them.

Thus, the Giant Eagle and the Giant Python should indeed be an alliance. But now, the Giant Eagle is not at home, a group of young Eagles can't defeat the Chi Tigers. Logically, the allied Giant Python should be coming out to help now.

However, there was no movement at all from the Giant Python's cave entrance, prompting Ling Zhenfei to wonder about the reason. Suddenly, noticing the snow accumulated on the cliff, he realized it was winter—Snakes don't come out during winter.

But the Giant Python is no ordinary snake. This snake has developed a sentient intelligence after years of cultivation; how could it fear the cold of winter?

Consequently, there might only be one explanation: The snake is protecting the Spirit Grass on the cliff; if no one disturbs the Spirit Grass, it won't come out.

Now, these Chi Tigers are here to seek their young from the Eagles. You took their young, and yet don't allow them to come seeking vengeance—this simply doesn't make any sense.

Ling Zhenfei thought of this, and a slight smile emerged in his heart—this was indeed a heaven-sent opportunity.

Now the Giant Eagle is not at home, and the Giant Python doesn't come out; isn't this the perfect opportunity to steal the Spiritual Medicine?

Ling Zhenfei thought for a moment, then got down from the tree and headed towards the cliff. His soul kept rotating around, trying to locate the Giant Python's whereabouts, but inadvertently discovered Protector Leng and the others.

These people were then hiding behind a rock, watching the fierce battle.

"Protector Leng, what are these monsters? How are they so powerful? These Eagles have no ability to fight back!"

Protector Leng stated: "These monsters are called Chi Tigers, extremely fierce. I don't know why these Eagles provoked this group of Chi Tigers, but such a siege is truly inconceivable."

"Protector Leng, look over there, there's a cave. You say there wouldn't be anything in that cave?"

Protector Leng said: "Judging from the smell here, it should be a Snake Cave. The contents inside such a big Snake Cave definitely won't be simple, so we'd better try not to stir any trouble."

Protector Leng glanced at the Old Dog beside him in anger and said: "Old Dog, do you want to die? You better cut off your nose, leading us here—do you want to die?"

Old Dog said with a face full of grievance: "Protector Leng, you can't blame me for this. Originally, I followed the smell of these things, but who knew these things were Chi Tigers. Now I'm certain those small animals were killed by these Chi Tigers."

Protector Leng sighed and said: "These Chi Tigers showing up isn't good. It seems the Space-Time Gate is really going to open."

"Protector, what does the Space-Time Gate mean?" the young man beside asked.

Protector Leng explained: "The Space-Time Gate on Xianling Mountain opens once every twenty years, then we can venture into it. Inside the gate, treasures are scattered everywhere. As long as you come back alive, everyone can become a master of their time."

"Then, can we go? We also want to take adventures."

"Yeah, yeah, fortune comes from risk; it's worth taking a chance."

Protector Leng laughed: "With your little strength, you'd seek adventure? Next twenty years then, when your strength reaches the Realm of Reaching Wisdom, otherwise, you are simply courting death.

I've reached the Dawen Realm, and even entering there requires complete preparation, otherwise, who knows if they'll return alive."

Ling Zhenfei thought inside: "These people are all difficult to deal with. If they see me, they will surely hunt me down to find Ru Meng. This could become quite troublesome."

At this moment, there was a change on the battlefield. Seeing the Eagles continue circling above without descending, the Chi Tigers suddenly became anxious, with one Tiger leaping onto the top of the cliff.

The Chi Tigers' jumping ability was remarkably astonishing; one leap could reach over ten meters high. This Tiger jumped onto the stone upon the cliff, then leaped further onto the cliff top.

After jumping several times, it reached the upper part of the cliff, where the Rejuvenation Grass was planted, rich with Spiritual Medicine. This Tiger, jumping there, would surely trample the Spiritual Medicine.

Suddenly, a thunderous roar was heard from within the Snake Cave, followed by a series of loud noises, and a super large Snake Head emerged from the cave.

This massive snake had two eyes like enormous red lanterns, looking at the Chi Tigers beneath the cliff, then charged towards them with its gaping maw.

Although these Chi Tigers were very fierce, neither their size nor strength could compare to the Giant Python. Upon seeing the Giant Python, they promptly dodged to the side in panic.
