Zhuge Qianxing comforted him, saying, "Golden eagles live on the grasslands, and the climate here is too cold, so it's normal for them not to adapt."
Zhu Fanfan released the golden eagle and showed it the snakes ahead. These snakes were not in the same league as the snakes in her space. The golden eagle's eyes lit up when it saw them. Without waiting for a command, it rushed over and faced the giant python directly. The python's forked tongue also went straight for the golden eagle. The size difference between the two was too great, and she was a little worried about the golden eagle.
Just when everyone thought the snake and the eagle were about to have a fierce battle, the golden eagle swiftly bypassed the snake's forked tongue, flew to its front, spread its wings, and slapped the giant python across the face. Then, it flew back slyly, circling in the air and letting out a smug, cheerful cry.
Zhu Fanfan gave a dry laugh: "I didn't teach you that."
It wasn't very harmful, but it was extremely insulting. The giant snake wasn't injured, but it was enraged. I don't know who the golden eagle learned that from.
Zhuge Qianxing gave the order: "Proceed according to our plan!"
Zhu Fanfan was assigned to clear out the small snakes, because she was said to be fast, and after she finished clearing them out, they would fight the big snakes.
Zhu Fanfan used her mental power to control several small snakes, which directly attacked her divine sense, killing more than a dozen instantly. She then controlled the snakes again to attack her divine sense, and in a short while, a large pile of them accumulated in front of her. She even took the opportunity to catch dozens more, hoping to see if they could reproduce. These snakes looked quite delicious, although she didn't eat them herself, but her grandfather liked them.
After the small snakes in front of her stopped moving, she realized that a mountain of snakes had been piled up in front of her. Looking at the others, everyone had a pile in front of them. And looking at Grandpa Zhuge, the group of people were handling it with ease. Even though the giant snake kept launching supernatural attacks, the group of people dodged in time. However, the giant snake was as hard as steel, and Grandpa Zhuge's attacks did not do much damage to it.
The golden eagle, even more cunning, took advantage of the moment when everyone's attacks were on cooldown. It flapped its wings when the giant snake was slightly relieved. The damage was minimal, but the insult was extremely strong. The giant snake was easily provoked and shifted its attack to the golden eagle. The golden eagle attacked and then ran away, leaving the giant snake's attacks empty. Zhuge and the others took the opportunity to attack again. The pain brought the giant snake back to its senses, and it attacked Zhuge and the others. At this moment, the golden eagle reappeared, flapped its wings, and ran away again. The giant snake's attention was diverted once more, and it didn't need their help at all.
Needless to say, the giant snake was eventually worn down and died, and everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. The mutant beasts are more naturally gifted than humans in terms of their abilities. Their skin is thicker and can be used as a defensive weapon. Their bodies are natural weapons, and their attack power, whether physical or supernatural, far surpasses that of humans.
Zhuge Qianxing said, "Let's get the snake gall and leave quickly. Who knows if there are other large mutant beasts here?"
This giant snake weighed several thousand kilograms. If they hadn't come together, they wouldn't have been able to defeat it at all. Like humans, long-lived supernatural beasts have their own opportunities and receive divine favor. They might even have souls. If they were to seek revenge here, they would be attacked from both sides.
The person next to him said, "We've already taken care of the small snakes; all that's left is to make the big ones."
Zhuge Qianxing had someone remove the giant python's gallbladder and hand it over to Xi Yan for safekeeping. It wasn't that they didn't want to take the python's body; it was simply that its size was too large for them to store. Even Xi Yan's ring didn't have that much space. The smell of blood was so strong here, and who knew what wild beasts might be roaming the snow-capped mountains? The carcass would soon be devoured, so they had no choice but to abandon it.
The group quickly packed up and prepared to leave. While everyone was distracted, Zhu Fanfan focused her mental energy on the python. After they had gone some distance, while everyone was still lamenting the loss of the giant python, Zhu Fanfan used that instant to capture it. She also carefully observed everyone and was relieved to see that no one had noticed.
Zhu Fanfan asked, "Grandpa Zhuge, is the place we're going to even more dangerous?"
Zhuge Qianxing was also uncertain: "We don't have a precise destination. Our target is wherever the magnetic field has the strongest influence. There will definitely be dangers, and the closer we get to our destination, the more dangerous it will be. According to records, the final destination here is an energy source that can gather the surrounding supernatural abilities, making cultivation twice as effective."
Zhu Fanfan didn't ask; she felt her cultivation was progressing quite quickly. Zhuge Qianxing explained, "According to ancient records, everyone here used to be able to cultivate supernatural abilities. The air was filled with supernatural energy—metal, wood, water, fire, earth, all kinds of supernatural abilities. Unfortunately, a major earthquake struck the supernatural world, and a group of people inexplicably turned on each other, leaving only one in ten supernatural beings alive. Supernatural energy also disappeared, and many supernatural abilities were lost. If all our supernatural beings were still alive, would our country have needed to fight the Japanese for over a decade? We could have driven them out the year they arrived. Would our country have suffered such a loss of population?"
Zhu Fanfan also remarked, "If only we could steal the atomic bomb, I'd dump it in Japan, and the lives lost would be paid out in equal measure."
Zhuge Qianxing quickly dissuaded him: "Let's just think about it. That thing is even more powerful than superpowers. We dare not do anything recklessly. Besides, we are not professionals, and we don't know how to use it. If we do it wrong, it might backfire on us."
Zhu Fanfan said, "I'll just say this: I can't get into the research institute. Let's talk about the energy source first. What kind of energy source is it?"
Zhuge Qianxing shook his head: "I really don't know. It's just recorded in ancient books, but the records are very vague. We can only find it ourselves."
After walking for a while, Xi Yan stopped again. Zhuge Qianxing looked ahead and saw a pack of snow wolves blocking their way. Zhuge Qianxing was also curious: "I've never heard of any animals living on the snow mountain. Could it be that all the mutant beasts have migrated to the mountain?"
Zhu Fanfan suddenly asked, "Grandpa Zhuge, these wolves look like mutant beasts, and their combat power is not bad. Wouldn't it be a waste for us to just kill them like this? We can form a contract with them, which is also a kind of combat power."
Zhuge Qianxing also expressed his regret: "None of the people we brought are beast tamers. Even if we had brought some, it would be useless. They can only tame beasts at present. After taming, the combat power of the beasts is greatly reduced, and they can only be used as mounts. The method of maintaining the ability of the beasts through contracts has been lost. I heard that it requires extremely strong mental strength, which our people cannot do at present. Even if the snow wolves are very strong, we cannot form a contract with them."
Zhu Fanfan looked at the snow wolves and felt sorry for them: "Grandpa Zhuge, can you guarantee that you can capture them without any casualties? I want to try to have someone else form a contract with them. There is a method in Grandpa Ji's secret manual, but it requires array stones. I didn't bring many. How many did you bring?"
