CHAPTER 696: CHAPTER 696: FEROCIOUS BIRDS AND BEASTS

"While he was drunk, I took the remaining map piece." Bai Jingqing said expressionlessly.

Mo Tianhao finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had been with many women, and just now, out of jealousy, he had lost some rationality. Now that he looked again, Bai Jingqing was indeed untouched.

"Senior Sister Bai is indeed extraordinarily smart. How could someone as brash as Qin Yi possibly outmaneuver you?" Mo Tianhao said with a laugh.

Bai Jingqing nodded indifferently and asked, "Your map piece is still with you, right?"

"Of course, it is. What, are you worried that Qin Yi’s map piece was snatched from me? Even if he had the abilities reaching the heavens, he’d only have to flee in panic upon meeting me." Mo Tianhao said proudly.

Bai Jingqing’s eyes flashed with disdain; she had previously thought Mo Tianhao was exceptional, but now he seemed utterly foolish.

Mo Wuji chuckled inwardly. When you see Qin Yi, you’ll probably be the one fleeing in panic, won’t you?

"Young Master Mo, have you seen anyone else?" Bai Jingqing asked.

Mo Tianhao shook his head and pointed to the two Mo family youths with him, saying, "Except for them, I haven’t seen anyone else."

"Then let’s hurry and find Fang Ran and the others. Don’t forget, our most important task this time is to gather the Six Maps and find the treasure to take out."

"Don’t worry, Junior Sister Bai. With our combined efforts, the treasure will be ours."

Bai Jingqing responded coolly with a hum.

Mo Wuji, however, was sneering; it seemed Mo Tianhao believed their words.

...

...

Meanwhile, on the other side, Qin Yi was leading the three women in a desperate escape.

Screech!

A piercing cry split the sky, shaking the heavens and the earth, causing the mountains to tremble.

Behind the trio, a Golden Claw Green Scale Eagle was in pursuit.

This Golden Claw Green Scale Eagle’s cultivation was far beyond the Nascent Soul Stage, likely already at the Divine Separation Stage.

The four of them had accidentally provoked this fierce bird while flying over a mountain because Qin Yi was being greedy. Seeing three table-sized eggs, he thought about stealing one to roast; it was surely nourishing and delicious.

Who knew that the eagle’s cultivation was beyond his imagination? Even with Qin Yi’s full strike, not even a feather was broken, showing how terrifying the defense was.

The eagle’s flying speed was at its peak.

The Golden Claw Green Scale Eagle spread its wings over fifty meters wide, its feathers like cold iron, and the wings were like two unparalleled blades.

Boom! Boom!

Two hundred-meter-high mountains were sliced through by the eagle’s wings directly, collapsing with a thunderous crash as the ground shook.

Qin Yi, with the three women, flew at low altitude, hiding in the dense forest below.

Unexpectedly, the eagle also followed them with low flight, and its terrifying wings destroyed the entire dense forest, reducing it to rubble.

"What do we do? It’s catching up." Hua Rui screamed.

The eagle’s wings spread out, covering the sky like a dark cloud, exuding overwhelming fierceness.

Qin Yi was also at a loss. The fierce birds and beasts in this secret realm were far more terrifying than he had imagined; he couldn’t fight it, so he could only run.

"Brother Eagle, I apologize, I won’t steal your eggs, spare me please."

"I swear, I won’t steal your eggs again."

"Damn it, if you keep chasing, I’ll get angry."

Qin Yi was helpless; the Green Scale Eagle was enraged and would not rest until they were dead.

"Fairy Hua Rui, how about sacrificing yourself to fill this bird’s stomach to cool it down?"

Hua Rui was nearly scared to death; are you suggesting feeding her to this fierce bird?

"Don’t be scared, just kidding."

Hua Rui was crying, scared to tears, still able to joke at this time, how big is your heart?

"Wow... it caught up!" Qing Lan screamed in fear.

Qin Yi’s body surged with purple light, his speed skyrocketed, and he instantly darted hundreds of meters away.

Boom!

The ground shook, the power was astonishing.

Qin Yi glanced back, his eyes widened; the Golden Claw Green Scale Eagle had just shattered the mountain peak he had passed with a swipe.

Qin Yi was horrified; if that had hit them, none of them would have survived.

Bang!

A huge mountain in front suddenly exploded, Qin Yi was shocked, leading the three women to dodge to the side with lightning speed.

Qin Yi felt his skull go numb, the side dodging gave the eagle a chance to catch up, this is bad.

However, at that moment, a massive pillar shot out from the collapsed mountain and then crashed down, directly smashing the eagle from the air with a loud crash, creating a huge pit in the ground, cracks spreading around.

Qin Yi and the three women were stunned.

Because the owner of that pillar revealed its form, it was a Giant Ape, standing up to a thousand meters tall, its immense body was indescribable, the surrounding mountains looked like small mounds next to it.

Not to mention the three women, even Qin Yi felt chills running down his back.

This Giant Ape, not to mention its size, just its ferocious appearance was like a nightmare. Its roar made Qin Yi and the others’ blood churn, with blood trickling from the corners of their mouths.

Too terrifying.

This Giant Ape definitely surpassed the Divine Separation Stage, a true horror. Even a kilometer away, its sheer ferocity oppressed their bones, making noise and churning blood.

Qin Yi was dumbfounded; the three women were covering their mouths tightly, not daring to make a sound.

If they startled the Giant Ape, even a sneeze would probably be unbearable for them.

Roar!

The Giant Ape roared, beating its chest like a drum rolling. For a hundred miles around it were low, deafening drumbeats, mountains splitting, the ground covered in cracks, as if doomsday had arrived.

Thud thud...!

Qin Yi and the others were shook to the point of seeing black spots and stars, spitting blood from their mouths.

If not for Qin Yi, the three women would have likely been stunned and fell from the sky.

Qin Yi prided himself on his unparalleled physique, but he couldn’t withstand the roar’s force of the Giant Ape.

Too damned terrifying.

Qin Yi felt chills deep in his bones. This was the first time he felt such fear.

Fortunately, it seemed the Giant Ape hadn’t noticed them, turning to head south, each step covering hundreds of meters, turning mountains, forests, and boulders into dust under its feet.

"That was scary." Zi Yuan gasped, clutching her chest, teary-eyed as she was frightened to tears.

"Shh!" Qin Yi quickly made a gesture for silence and pointed below.

That Green Scale Eagle was still there.

This Green Scale Eagle’s defensive power was indeed terrifying, surviving a smash from the Giant Ape and flipping over to rise again, spreading its wings and screeching, almost piercing Qin Yi and the others’ eardrums.

However, the Green Scale Eagle no longer attacked them, flapping its wings and flying to the south like lightning.

Qin Yi let out a heavy sigh, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, feeling jittery from the scare.

"Be careful."

Qin Yi suddenly warned, leading the three women to dodge sideways with lightning speed.

A huge shadow swept past them, like a train rushing by.
