Super Gene Hunting Ground

Chapter 172: Chapter 172: Treating the Giant Eagle (Four more updates, please subscribe)

Everyone nervously watched the giant eagle lying on the ground.

Chen Lu’s palms flickered with a fireball, ready to strike at any moment, while Yang Xiao activated the Snow Wolf Roar, creating a huge wolf head in the air.

However, the giant eagle only screeched once, its body shook slightly a few times, then it quieted down.

At this moment, the giant eagle outside the cave heard the screeching from inside, and recklessly rushed into the cave.

Chen Fei immediately shot an Ice Cone over, Long Yongjun unleashed the Dog Blood Blade, Dai Yun used Wolf Claw Critical Strike from afar, and Li Zhan fired a Fiery Feather Arrow.

Bang, bang, bang...

Explosions filled the cave.

Ugh—

The cave was cramped, and the giant eagle inside couldn’t dodge; after being hit several times, it cried out in pain and quickly retreated from the cave. Outside the cave, it continued to screech mournfully, a stark contrast to its previously fierce and violent demeanor.

Listening clearly from inside the cave, Yang Xiao’s heart stirred as he recalled the little eagle that he, Qin Yu, Deng Xiao, Chen Fei, and Long Yongjun had jointly injured months ago.

”Could it be that the eagle on the ground is the same one we injured before? Is it about to die?”

Yang Xiao mustered his courage and gradually approached the giant eagle on the ground.

”Chen Lu, fire a fireball for lighting, let me see.”

”Alright.”

Chen Lu immediately launched a relatively smaller fireball that slowly flew above the giant eagle.

With the light from the fireball, Yang Xiao saw the giant eagle hanging its head, looking utterly lifeless.

Yang Xiao felt it looked somewhat familiar.

Eagles are rarely seen on Biyun Mountain; it must be the same giant eagle from before, and the eagles inside and outside the cave are likely mother and child.

From the looks of the situation now, it is highly likely that since being injured by Yang Xiao and the others previously, the little eagle had not recovered; it encountered severe cold, its resistance weakened, the body became frailer. Furthermore, due to the harsh weather, food was scarce for both the eagle outside and inside, affecting their survival conditions.

Yang Xiao briefly shared his thoughts, and Huang Wen and the others seemed to understand.

”Boss, what should we do now?”

”What do you mean what?”

”The giant eagle on the ground, how do we handle it?”

Yang Xiao smiled and said:

”Simple, kill it directly, then pick up the genetic disks and some treasures on the ground, and also find an opportunity to kill the giant eagle outside.”

For some reason, Huang Wen, Feifei, and Chen Lu, the three girls, looking at the dying giant eagle on the ground, suddenly felt compassion.

”Boss, do we really have to kill it? It’s quite pitiful.”

”Pff!”

Yang Xiao chuckled:

”When we killed the snow wolves and ate their meat, I didn’t see you all showing such compassion?”

”That’s different, snow wolves are naturally ferocious, how could anyone feel pity for them?”

”Exactly, look at this eagle’s eyes, they look so pitiable.”

Feifei gently stroked the giant eagle’s head and said.

Chen Lu remained silent, but her expression also showed sympathy for the giant eagle on the ground.

If they had encountered a fierce attacking eagle, they might have fought it without any pity and even killed it early on.

Yet, they encountered a dying eagle, inevitably awakening their compassion.

”Damn, are you guys overflowing with maternal love? Even if I don’t kill this eagle, it’s probably going to die soon.”

Yang Xiao said, his gaze lingering on a pile of shiny treasures on the ground; he then walked over and started picking things up from the ground.

”Hehe, this sword looks nice, oh, what is this skill cultivation method? Hmm, lots of genetic fragments, and some complete genetic disks...”

Yang Xiao continuously picked up the faintly glowing objects on the ground and put them in a large backpack behind him.

Carrying the backpack had already become his daily habit.

Huang Wen and the three girls completely relaxed their guard against the Giant Eagle, everyone reaching out to stroke its head, feeling the gentleness of its feathers, which softened their hearts even more.

Huang Wen had an idea, took out a Small Blood Pill, gently opened the Eagle’s sharp beak, and placed the pill inside.

The Small Blood Pill was originally a Divine Medicine for treating external injuries. This Giant Eagle on the ground had been injured by Yang Xiao and others and had not healed, eventually collapsing due to severe cold.

The Small Blood Pill melted once in the mouth, a warm current entered the Giant Eagle’s body, making it shudder.

Er—

The Giant Eagle gave a soft cry, its voice filled with sorrow.

The eyes of the Giant Eagle suddenly lit up, looking at Huang Wen with a pleading expression.

Beside them, Feifei said:

”This Small Blood Pill still has some effects, but, this Giant Eagle’s body is so huge, one Small Blood Pill probably won’t work, right?”

Hearing this, Huang Wen took out two more Small Blood Pills and put them into the Eagle’s mouth.

After a moment, the Giant Eagle actually lifted its heavy head, gently nodded at Huang Wen, then used the feathers on its head to softly caress Huang Wen’s face.

This move was extremely pleasing.

Huang Wen instantly felt a surge of love, excitedly saying:

”Yang Xiao, look, I brought the eagle back to life.”

Yang Xiao was picking up treasures on the ground, and hearing Huang Wen’s words, he immediately ran over, exclaiming:

”My goodness, aren’t you guys courting death?”

The three girls were taken aback and looked at Yang Xiao.

”You’ve revived the Giant Eagle, what if it attacks us later? Have you forgotten the story of the farmer and the snake? Want to be the post-apocalyptic version of that farmer?”

The three girls were stunned for a moment, looked at the Giant Eagle lying on the ground, which seemed to understand Yang Xiao’s words, again raised its heavy head, and used its head feathers to caress Huang Wen’s face, looking adorably pitiful.

Huang Wen laughed and said:

”No, I feel this Giant Eagle is intelligent, it definitely won’t repay kindness with ingratitude, see how cute it is?”

Feifei touched the eagle’s feathers with her hand and said:

”This is an eagle, not a snake.”

”Exactly, I think this eagle is very intelligent, it should be grateful. Oh, is it hungry?”

Hearing this, Huang Wen quickly said:

”That must be it.”

So, she took out her backpack, took out some dried wolf meat she was carrying, and tore off a piece and put it into the eagle’s mouth.

The eagle actually began to chew slowly, swallowing it down.

Chen Lu then said:

”Could it be thirsty as well?”

Feifei immediately took out a water bottle that she was carrying with her, which was not frozen.

Feifei opened the water bottle, poured some water into the Eagle’s mouth, and the Eagle gulped down most of the bottle in one go, slowly regaining its vitality, its wings also able to flutter slightly.

The Giant Eagle looked at the dried meat in Huang Wen’s hand, and gently called out.

Huang Wen, like a mother seeing her nursing baby, quickly tore off another piece and put it into the Eagle’s mouth, saying:

”Take it slow, don’t choke.”

Yang Xiao, annoyed, glanced at the three girls and turned away to pick up the treasures on the ground.

Thinking that these three foolish girls, how can their love be so overflowing, are all girls like this?

Huang Wen fed the Giant Eagle three large pieces of dried wolf meat. With the food entering its body, combined with the earlier treatment from the three Small Blood Pills, the Giant Eagle gradually regained vitality, slowly struggling to stand up, occasionally making a cheerful ”Er, Er” sound.

This sound was entirely different from the previous sorrowful cry.

Outside the cave, the Giant Eagle heard this cheerful sound, suddenly became quiet, and after a moment, it let out a long cry as if becoming joyful too, constantly stretching its head to peek into the cave, showing none of its previous ferocity.

Chen Fei saw the Giant Eagle sticking its head in, got a fright, and immediately shot an Ice Cone over.
