Several days later, Lin Feng once again arrived at that familiar highland area, where countless strangely shaped wind-eroded rocks stood.

The wind here is even stronger than last time I came; it feels like a knife cutting my face.

The sky was overcast, with thick clouds hanging low, foreshadowing an imminent blizzard.

Lin Feng did not rush to find the nest of the Shining Falcon.

He first located the warm basin with "sunwheel wood" that he had discovered earlier.

This place will serve as his forward base and rest point for this operation.

The light and heat emitted by the sun-wheel tree can provide a relatively comfortable recovery environment for him and the wildebeest.

They rested for a night in the warm basin, replenishing their strength and supplies.

Before dawn the next day, Lin Feng rode the White Moonlight and quietly left the basin.

White Jade remained in the basin to guard the remaining supplies and avoid making it too conspicuous.

He needed to conduct a thorough reconnaissance first. The nests of the Shining Falcon must be located on the highest and most precipitous cliffs.

He needed to find a location that allowed him to observe the bird's nest while remaining relatively secluded.

With his exceptional climbing and short-distance gliding abilities, Bai Yueguang darted among the jagged rocks. The cold wind howled in his ears, like the wailing of countless wronged souls.

He pressed his body tightly against the horse's back to reduce wind resistance, while carefully observing every possible cliff with the binoculars (given to him by Tang Bao).

After a long and arduous search, he finally found a relatively hidden, recessed rock platform halfway up a huge, almost vertical, black solitary peak that was thousands of meters high.

The platform is in an excellent location, with a wide-open view in front, overlooking a large area below. More importantly, looking diagonally upwards from here, he can clearly see that at the top of the solitary peak, near the edge, beneath a huge rock, lies an unimaginable giant nest constructed from giant dead branches, the skeletons of giant beasts, and some unknown tough plant fibers!

Its scale is so vast that it is like a small valley basin, large enough to accommodate several adult mammoths!

"Found it!" Lin Feng was overjoyed, but then his heart sank.

The location of that nest was absolutely desperate!

The rock face of the isolated peak is smooth and steep, with almost no footholds for climbing.

Moreover, there is no cover around the nest, and once he starts climbing, he will inevitably be exposed to the sight of the Shining Falcon.

He did not act rashly, but instead lay in wait on the rocky platform and began to observe the activity patterns of the Shining Falcon for a long time.

Time passed second by second. The cold wind grew stronger, and snowflakes began to fall from the sky.

Lin Feng wrapped his Snow Shadow Leopard skin armor tightly around himself, leaving only his eyes exposed. Like the most patient hunter, he stared motionlessly at the distant bird's nest.

Finally, around noon, there was movement in the nest.

Two Radiant Falcons with an astonishing wingspan of nearly 100 meters flew out of their nest one after another!

Each flap of their translucent, colossal wings, sculpted from millennia-old ice, is accompanied by a terrifying howl that tears the sky apart. The swirling air currents carve deep furrows in the sea of ​​clouds, and countless fist-sized ice crystals fall from their wingtips like a blizzard.

They circled atop the solitary peak a few times, emitting clear yet majestic cries, before hurtling off like two bolts of destructive lightning interwoven with silver and rainbow halos, hurtling towards the distant snow-capped mountains.

"Off to hunt!"

Lin Feng's spirits lifted. He knew this was his only chance.

He carefully observed the direction and speed at which the two ice falcons departed, estimating the time it might take for them to travel back and forth.

The Radiant Falcon flies extremely fast, but hunting still takes time.

He estimated that he would have a window of opportunity of about two to three hours.

We can't wait any longer!

Lin Feng took a deep breath and took the rock-skin vine rope and grappling hook that he had prepared beforehand from Bai Yueguang's back.

He secured one end of one of the ropes to the special metal ring on the White Moonlight saddle, and the other end to the safety buckle around his waist as a safety precaution.

He came to the edge of the rocky platform and looked down at the cliff hundreds of meters high.

Above that, there are even steeper and more deadly cliffs stretching for thousands of meters.

"White Moonlight, it's up to you now!" Lin Feng patted White Moonlight's neck.

Bai Yueguang understood his intention, let out a low hiss, and slightly opened the fleshy wings under its ribs, ready to glide.

Lin Feng's goal was not to climb directly upwards, as that would be too slow and too easy to expose him.

He planned to use the gliding ability of the white moonlight to move laterally to the other side of the isolated peak, where, although it was equally steep, he observed some natural cracks and protruding rocks that could serve as a starting point for climbing.

He took a deep breath and gripped the reins tightly. "Go!"

Bai Yueguang leaped forward suddenly, and her enormous fleshy wings unfolded instantly.

Its enormous body seemed weightless as it glided towards the side of the solitary peak, carried by the howling winds of the canyon.

The wind howled fiercely in my ears, and beneath my feet lay a bottomless abyss.

Lin Feng clung tightly to the horse's back, his heart pounding in his chest.

The feeling of gliding between cliffs is a hundred times more thrilling and exciting than riding on flat ground.

The White Moonlight precisely controlled its gliding direction and altitude. With each flap of its fleshy wings, it skillfully utilized the updrafts to draw a beautiful arc in the air.

A few minutes later, it successfully carried Lin Feng to a relatively narrow but barely foothold on the side of the solitary peak.

The straight-line distance to the Bird's Nest at the summit is now closer, but the difficulty of climbing upwards remains no less.

Lin Feng untied the rope connecting him to Bai Yueguang and left it on the relatively safe platform.

"Wait for me here. No matter what happens, don't leave!"

He solemnly instructed him. Bai Yueguang nuzzled him with her head, indicating that she understood.

Then, Lin Feng tied the hooks to the two rock vine ropes and began the most dangerous climb of his life.

The cliff face of the solitary peak was smoother and harder than he had imagined. In many places, even a sharp obsidian grappling hook struggled to find a secure anchor point.

He could only rely on his powerful arm strength, core strength, and the sense of balance he had honed in life-or-death battles to move up the almost vertical rock face little by little.

The cold wind felt like countless icy hands, trying to tear him off the rock face.

The fine snowflakes hit his face, quickly melting and then freezing into a thin layer of ice, blurring his vision.

His fingers had become numb from rubbing against the hard rock, and some of his knuckles were even worn raw and bleeding, but the biting cold made him feel almost no pain.

Every upward climb was a challenge to his physical and mental limits. He dared not be distracted in the slightest; any tiny mistake could plunge him into an abyss of no return.

Time passed by second by second, each second feeling like an eternity.

Lin Feng didn't know how long he had been climbing; all he knew was that his strength was being rapidly depleted.

His arm muscles were already extremely sore, and each pull-up required him to exhaust all his strength.

Just when he felt he was about to give up, his hand finally touched the edge of a relatively flat rock covered with some dry grass and feathers!

"arrive!"

Lin Feng was overjoyed. With his last bit of strength, he flipped upwards and finally reached the edge of the Shining Wing Ice Falcon's nest!

He was panting heavily, his clothes soaked with sweat and snow, then frozen stiff. He felt like he was about to lose all feeling in his limbs.

After catching his breath, he cautiously raised his head and looked towards the nest.

This is a giant nest constructed from countless mountain-thick, withered branches, the complete skeletons of giant beasts, and some unknown, supple plant fibers. It is at least tens of meters in diameter, with thick, shimmering feathers and the fur of some large alien beasts piled up around its edges, making it look exceptionally warm and comfortable.

In the center of the nest, there was a layer of softer, white silk-like material, and in this soft whiteness, three bird eggs lay quietly, like huge white jade boundary markers!

Each one was almost half his height, with a warm, milky white color, a smooth and delicate surface, and a faint halo like moonlight.

On the eggshell, there are also some naturally formed pale gold patterns that resemble ice cracks, exuding a mysterious and noble aura.

Lin Feng's heart began to pound uncontrollably. He could clearly feel a surging, life-filled, and strange energy fluctuation emanating from these three giant eggs.

"The egg of the Shining Falcon!"

He suppressed his excitement and dared not delay for even the slightest moment.

He untied two specially made giant animal skin pouches that he had prepared beforehand from his waist.

His original plan was to take only two and leave one behind, so that the pair of Shining Falcons would not go completely mad from losing all their offspring.

He carefully crawled toward the nest, each step as light as a cat's, as if afraid of making any noise.

When he finally reached the edge of the nest and reached out to pick up one of the giant eggs, a sudden change occurred!

"Bah!"

A sharp, piercing cry, filled with anger and warning, capable of tearing the sky apart, suddenly rang out above his head like a thunderclap!

The sound waves even materialized, causing the air to vibrate violently!

Lin Feng's heart sank, and he thought to himself, "Oh no! They're back!"

He had no idea that the two Shining Falcons would return ahead of schedule!

There was no time to think, and he couldn't care less about the plan to only take two. His survival instinct led him to make the fastest and most risky decision!

He unleashed all his strength, swiftly lifting the two giant eggs closest to him and stuffing them into two enormous animal skin pouches. He then quickly tied the pouches shut, hanging them like two small mountains on his chest!

The instant he finished doing all this, two enormous ice crystal shadows, obscuring the light of day and possessing a world-destroying power, descended from the sky like two rapidly plunging icebergs, heading straight for the nest!

Each time they flapped their enormous wings, which seemed to be formed from ice crystals and light, it was not silent, but accompanied by a terrifying howl that tore through the sky, and the air currents they stirred up carved deep trenches in the sea of ​​clouds.

Countless fist-sized ice crystals, gleaming with a cold light, rained down from their wingtips like a blizzard!

"Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!"

Lin Feng's adrenaline surged to its peak in an instant.

He didn't even have time to grab the third egg before turning around and lunging toward the edge of the cliff he had climbed up earlier!

He didn't choose to go back the way he came; that would be too slow!

His only way out was to jump down and rely on the lifeline connecting him to Bai Yueguang!

"Bah!"

The furious cries almost pierced his eardrums.

He could clearly feel the two gleaming ice falcons' mountain-like claws almost grazing his back, the force of the wind they generated scraping his leather armor like countless sharp ice blades.

The terrifying cold energy instantly penetrated, making him feel a bone-chilling cold!

If he had been even a fraction of a second slower, he would probably have been torn to shreds by now.

"I have no choice but to take this gamble!" Lin Feng gritted his teeth and, without hesitation, leaped off the cliff the instant he reached its edge.

A feeling of weightlessness enveloped him instantly! Howling winds filled his mouth and nose, and beneath his feet lay a bottomless canyon and churning clouds.

His body plummeted downwards like a kite with a broken string!

Just when he felt he was about to completely lose control, a huge pulling force suddenly came from his waist!

"bass!"

The ropes of the rock-skin vine were taut in an instant! Lin Feng's downward momentum was abruptly stopped, and he swung violently in mid-air like a pendulum!

He struggled to lift his head and saw that Bai Yueguang was using all his strength, his four hooves gripping the narrow rock platform tightly, his strong muscles bulging, barely managing to keep his body from slipping off due to the impact of his fall!

"Well done! My white moonlight!" Lin Feng felt a wave of lingering fear and relief.

But the crisis is not over!

"Bah!"

The two Radiant Falcons, thoroughly enraged, have gone completely mad after discovering that two eggs are missing from their nest!

They let out mournful roars atop the solitary peaks, and the chill emanating from them almost froze the sky!

Like two vengeful icy divine punishments, they once again swooped down towards Lin Feng, who was suspended in mid-air, and Bai Yueguang on the platform!

"Damn it!" Lin Feng cursed inwardly. He was now like a sitting duck, completely unable to dodge the attacks of these two behemoths!

At this critical moment, a flash of inspiration struck Lin Feng.

He suddenly pulled out a pre-prepared Exploding Frost Spore from his waist and hurled it with all his might at the massive head of one of the Radiant Falcons that was swooping down!

The Radiant Falcon clearly hadn't expected Lin Feng to have such an attack method. It instinctively stretched out its mountain-like claws, trying to knock the unidentified object away!

"Bang!"

The bursting frost spore exploded the instant it made contact with the giant claw of the ice falcon.

A dense, white chill instantly erupted, covering half of the Radiant Falcon's giant wing and one of its claws with a thick layer of frost.

The terrifying cold energy, enough to freeze steel, caused its massive body to freeze momentarily.

"Bah!"

The ice falcon let out a painful cry, its flight suddenly becoming somewhat unsteady and its dive slowing down.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lin Feng shouted at Bai Yueguang, "Jump! Glide to the other side of the canyon!"

Knowing the danger, White Moonlight didn't hesitate to push off with its hind legs, spread its fleshy wings, and, carrying Lin Feng who was hanging below, glided towards the other side of the canyon, to the relatively gentle slope!

Another Radiant Frost Falcon, unaffected by the Exploding Frost Spores, let out an even more furious cry, unleashing an even more terrifying ice crystal storm around its body as it relentlessly pursued the enemy.

Its speed was extremely fast, like a maggot clinging to a bone, constantly closing the distance between itself and the white moonlight.

With each flap of its wings, countless ice crystals shot towards Lin Feng and Bai Yueguang like arrows.

Lin Feng knew that with Bai Yueguang's gliding speed alone, it would be difficult to completely shake off this crazed ice falcon. He had to find a way to stop it!

He took out another Exploding Frost Spore from his baggage, but this time, he didn't throw it directly. He took off his compound bow, quickly nocked a specially made iron-boned bamboo arrow with a small slot on the arrowhead, and then carefully secured the Exploding Frost Spore into the slot on the arrowhead!

"This is a homemade 'ice arrow'!" Lin Feng thought to himself with a self-deprecating smile.

He took a deep breath, and with difficulty, turned around in the violently shaking air, aiming at the relentlessly pursuing, sky-covering Radiant Falcon!

"Go to hell!"

"call out!"

The arrow, carrying bursting frost spores, streaked across the sky like an insignificant meteor, accurately striking the broad chest and abdomen of the Shining Wing Ice Falcon, which was as wide as a mountain!

The ice falcon clearly sensed the danger and tried to dodge in mid-air, but due to the close proximity and the speed of the arrow, it only had time to protect its body with its huge ice crystal wings!

"boom!"

The bursting frost spore burst again the instant it struck the ice falcon's wing.

An even more intense chill enveloped most of the Radiant Falcon's body! Thick layers of ice rapidly condensed on its magnificent wings!

"Screech!"

A piercing scream, filled with despair, emanated from the cold air!

Immediately afterwards, the once majestic and awe-inspiring Ice Falcon, which had reigned supreme over the sky, lost its balance like a dragon with broken wings. Its massive body spun and plummeted into the bottomless canyon below.

They quickly disappeared into the swirling fog, their fate unknown.

"Success!" Lin Feng was overjoyed, but his expression quickly changed.

Because there's still one Shining Falcon!
