Having witnessed the power of the Heavenly Eagles, Li Qing no longer dared to provoke them. He could only pretend to be stupid and watch the family of Heavenly Eagles, trying his best to make his eyes look innocent so that the Heavenly Eagles would not feel that he posed a threat to them.
The eagles flew back to their nest, the three chicks returned to the nest, and the two adult eagles quietly looked into Li Qing's eyes.
This period of time felt incredibly long to Li Qing.
Soon, the male eagle flew towards Li Qing first. It gently grabbed Li Qing's back and lifted him up.
Li Qing felt the sensation of being lifted into the air. He didn't dare to look down and could only let the Heaven-Defying Eagle carry him upwards.
At this moment, Li Qing didn't even dare to move, fearing that the other party would loosen their grip. At that height, even if he had nine lives, it wouldn't be enough to kill him.
Feeling himself getting higher and higher, Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief, but was also a little nervous. "It doesn't seem to have any intention of throwing me off to my death... Well, I hope it's not planning to fly higher before throwing me off."
While his mind was wandering, the Heavenly Eagle carried Li Qing upwards, gradually flying over the cliff.
The view below was no longer an endless abyss, but a lush jungle with occasional glimpses of wild animals.
The change of scenery eased Li Qing's suppressed feelings a little. "I hope I was just overthinking things. It couldn't be that it flew me this far just to kill me. In any case, I didn't provoke them."
"However, it has indeed flown me this far, so where exactly is it taking me?"
The scenery beneath his feet was vibrant and full of life, but it was completely unfamiliar to Li Qing.
Where is this place?
Where is the hunting party?
Have they had any contact with the Blackwind Tribe?
How can I find my way back?
One question after another popped into Li Qing's mind.
Just then, Li Qing suddenly felt his whole body sink. When he realized what was happening, he found that his body was falling due to gravity!
As he fell, Li Qing instinctively flailed his arms, trying to grab onto something.
Thump!
Li Qing fell into the lake, creating a splash.
"Waaah..."
The impression that the whale Kun had given Li Qing in the Liangmeng River was still vivid in his mind. Li Qing waved his hands desperately, trying to surface as soon as possible.
"Hoo-ha!"
Li Qing spat out a mouthful of water, desperately breathing in the fresh air, and without taking a break, swam towards the shore.
"It seems the Heavenly Eagle is quite considerate, knowing we can't fly, so it didn't just drop me on the ground, but into the water... But couldn't you have lowered the altitude a bit? From that height, dropping me into the water was no different than dropping me onto a rock. Luckily, my physique isn't as weak as a modern person's, otherwise I probably would have been killed... Ouch, ouch, ouch!"
Li Qing struggled to swim ashore, breathed a sigh of relief, and finally collapsed to the ground, exhausted.
In a short period of time, Li Qing had encountered too many dangers. At that time, he did not feel very tired. Now that he had relaxed, he was suddenly overwhelmed by fatigue and just wanted to lie down and rest.
Li Qing rested her head on her hands and looked up at the sky. "I'm so tired, but even if I'm tired, now is not the time to think about these things. Where am I?"
Li Qing struggled to his feet and looked around.
The first thing I saw was a small, shimmering lake, the very place where I had been thrown into by the Heavenly Eagle.
The lake water is very clear, and you can see the bottom of the lake directly through the surface. Many different kinds of small fish swim in the lake, and there are a few seaweeds and some scattered shellfish on the bottom.
Lush vegetation grows along the shore, thriving under the direct sunlight. The shade of the trees ripples across the lake, adding a unique beauty to the water.
The climate here is also very pleasant. Perhaps it's because it's afternoon, but it's much cooler here than when Li Qing and the hunting team were traveling together.
During that part of the journey, everyone in the hunting team was covered in sweat and had a dry mouth, but here, a gentle breeze would occasionally blow on them, giving them a very comfortable feeling.
"It seems I was too nervous just now. This lake looks like a normal lake, without any strange things like whales or kun."
After Li Qing came to his senses, he could no longer suppress the urge to drink water. He submerged his face in the lake and gulped down the water.
"So sweet, so refreshing! This is what water should taste like—sweet and thirst-quenching!"
Li Qing drank his fill.
"Could it be that this Heaven-Defying Eagle feels guilty for mistakenly capturing me, and brought me here as compensation?"
Li Qing was overjoyed because he found the lake water to be clear, and in addition to fish that he could eat, there were several apple and peach trees growing around it, and occasionally he could see large wild rabbits grazing on the grass.
"If Li and the others were here, this place would be wonderful. With a place like this, our Red Flower Tribe could solve our problems with water and food!"
Li Qing ran to a peach tree. His primitive instincts allowed him to climb up the tree in no time. He picked a peach that looked pretty good and sat on a branch to eat it.
Sweet and juicy!
It tastes really good!
Li Qing quickly finished the peach in a few bites. After finishing the peach, he carefully jumped down from the tree, holding the peach pit in his hand. He then chose a place with soft, fertile soil and buried it there.
After finishing his work, Li Qing looked at the lake. He was getting a little hungry. "I've never eaten fish since I came to this world. I wonder what the fish in this world taste like. Hehe, these are all naturally grown fish, without any hormones!"
As the saying goes, "Man is made of iron, and food is made of steel; you'll get hungry if you skip a meal!"
"This place is a natural treasure trove. If I don't cherish it, wouldn't that be against all reason? Never mind, I'll go down and catch a few fish, grill them, and treat myself to a meal to reward myself for escaping death. Then I can think about other things."
Li Qing became more and more excited as he thought about it. He rubbed his hands together, took a deep breath, and plunged into the lake.
...
Li Qing didn't actually notice that the eagle that had thrown him there had been circling in the sky, watching his every move. When it saw Li Qing dive into the lake, it flapped its wings and flew swiftly into the distance.
