Since there was no way to escape, she had no choice but to fight. Taking advantage of Xi Yan's inattention, Zhu Fanfan put the two-headed snake into her spatial dimension. She had tested it and found that there was no fluctuation when she opened her spatial dimension. She was sure that even if Zhuge Qianxing was in front of her, he would not be able to detect that she had a spatial dimension. However, just in case, she never used her spatial dimension in front of others, not even with her mental power.
A flock of eagles spotted them and swooped down to attack Zhu Fanfan and his companion. Zhu Fanfan immediately engaged them in battle. It must be said that the eagles truly lived up to their reputation as generals of the sky. They were incredibly fast, and even when they couldn't win a fight, they could fly to a position that was out of reach of humans. Their claws were also sharp, and they almost injured Zhu Fanfan several times. The wind generated by their wings could be heard in the air as if sharp blades were being slashed, making their attacks seem like supernatural powers with extremely strong attack power.
Perhaps knowing that Zhu Fanfan was more difficult to deal with, all the eagles were concentrated on Zhu Fanfan, making Xi Yan's situation relatively easier. However, although he had fewer eagles to deal with, he was too busy to help.
Zhu Fanfan couldn't compete with her in terms of internal strength. Her opponent, just like before, relied on her speed to launch sneak attacks. If she hadn't reacted quickly, she would have been caught. With her speed, if she had used her internal strength, the eagle would have flown away long ago, and her attack would have missed. She saw with her own eyes that the eagle's claws accidentally grabbed the cliff face, and stones fell down with a crash, sharper than knives. The only thing she could do was use her metal-type ability to protect herself and ensure that the eagles couldn't hurt her.
Zhu Fanfan was furious. She hadn't felt this frustrated in a long time. In all her years of wandering the world, she had always been the one in control, making others look foolish. This was the first time she had been made a fool of like a clown. She had no choice but to use her ultimate move, a mental attack on the sea of consciousness. She wasn't sure if it would work, since she didn't know if animals had consciousness. She could only try anything as a last resort.
While fighting off the flock of eagles, she used her mental energy to attack the golden eagle's consciousness. Unexpectedly, it actually worked. The golden eagle became agitated, flying and crashing around wildly. However, the other eagles were ineffective and continued to attack her recklessly. Did the other eagles not have brains?
With all her might, Zhu Fanfan finally managed to bind the remaining eagles with her mental power. Only after binding them all did she sit down to rest, panting heavily. In her fifteen years of life, this was the first time she had been so disheveled. Her clothes were torn, and she had several wounds on her body, from which blood was flowing.
Xi Yan, on the other side, was in even worse shape. He was covered in injuries, with several wounds on his face, looking like a blood-soaked person. Zhu Fanfan asked weakly, "How are you?"
Xi Yan was also a little exhausted: "I'm okay, I can walk. We need to hurry back, it will be more dangerous if we stay too long."
Zhu Fanfan handed the pill to Xi Yan: "Apply it to external injuries; the pill is to restore physical strength."
Seeing the labels on them, Xi Yan understood their purpose and asked with some surprise, "You've recovered your alchemy skills?"
Zhu Fanfan was still somewhat saddened: "I made this myself after completing the mission assigned by the Dragon Group. It's just that the quality of your fire ability isn't as good. I was too ashamed to show it, so I didn't take it out. I never thought it would be my last guarantee."
Back then, when Xi Yan and she were partners in alchemy, their fire-based abilities helped them refine pills into high-grade ones. She wanted to test what level of pills she could refine with ordinary fire, so she refined more. However, the quality was far inferior to those she refined with Xi Yan, and she didn't show them to others for fear of being laughed at.
Xi Yan stopped talking and tried to apply the ointment to Zhu Fanfan's mouth, but Zhu Fanfan refused: "I can do it myself. You apply it to yourself first. Your injury is more serious than mine. I'll just take some medicine to recover."
Even without elixirs, her constitution heals very quickly. Only the three members of the Zhu family knew that her body had been modified by her grandmother since childhood, giving her rapid recovery and immunity to all poisons. Her grandmother was afraid that others would find out about her constitution and cause her trouble in her life, so she kept it a secret from everyone.
After the medicine was applied and the pills were taken, and her body recovered, she became increasingly angry at the golden eagle that had caused her so much trouble. So she started punching and kicking it. The golden eagle was tied up and had no power to fight back. At first, it looked at Zhu Fanfan arrogantly with contempt in its eyes, as if her strength was just tickling it. As Zhu Fanfan increased her strength, the golden eagle began to scream in pain. Especially after Zhu Fanfan plucked the feathers from its head, it flapped its wings even more wildly.
The other eagles were also howling like ghosts, their voices extremely piercing, which angered Zhu Fanfan so much that he tied their mouths shut to prevent them from hurting their ears.
After venting his frustrations, Zhu Fanfan asked, "Is the meat of the giant eagle delicious?"
Xi Yan advised, "Let's leave quickly! It's dangerous here. There might be wolves and tigers. Our special abilities won't be very effective here, and we might not be able to defeat them if we encounter them."
These eagles are very vengeful, and they can identify humans by their scent. They can sense humans within a ten-mile radius, and offending them will have endless consequences. In particular, if you eat their meat, you will retain their scent, and other eagles, even if they don't recognize them, will be wary of them and may even help them take revenge, even though the meat is really delicious.
Zhu Fanfan was unwilling to give up, so she punched and kicked the golden eagle again. Taking advantage of its rage and unstable mind, she directly formed a contract with it. She could tell that this was the leader, and once she subdued it, the other eagles would naturally listen to her.
If it weren't for Brother Xi Yan, she probably would have put all those eagles into her spatial dimension and eaten them. She wasn't afraid of retaliation; let them all come if they dared. With her spatial dimension, they would all be sitting ducks.
No matter how much the golden eagle wanted to kill Zhu Fanfan before, it became much more docile once the contract was signed. It even nuzzled Zhu Fanfan affectionately, which made Xi Yan alarmed: "Fanfan, stay away from it. This kind of golden eagle is recorded in the Book of Strange Things. They are very smart and scheming. Maybe it is trying to lower your guard so that it can take revenge."
The golden eagle is recorded in the Dragon Group's Record of Strange Things. The golden eagle, which is entirely golden, is the king of eagles and leads the entire tribe. Moreover, this kind of eagle has special abilities. It is said to be of the metal element, and its body is as solid as a rock, which is impossible for ordinary people to break. It may also be able to release special abilities to cause damage. Most importantly, it is said that this kind of eagle is generally impossible to form a contract with. Even if a contract is formed, it can be broken by itself when it becomes powerful. It is a very dangerous species.
Zhu Fanfan explained, "I just made a contract with it, so it won't hurt me now. Brother Xi Yan, have you applied medicine to your wounds? Let's hurry back! It'll be dark soon if we delay any longer, and we need to get back before dark to pick up the gray wolf."
The miasma in the air slowly gathered, and it looked like it was about to take shape. Any moment of darkness was a sign of danger, especially in this boundless forest. She felt very uneasy.
