“However, behind the Heavenly Beast, black Qi permeated, and we couldn't see anything.”
The Dragon Head Treasure Eagle's eagle eyes also had limitations.
Recalling the heart-pounding aura in the Primitive Forest, Qian Duoduo asked the Dragon Head Treasure Eagle:
“What is a Primal Beast?”
“A Thorn Spirit Vine that has lived for an unknown amount of time.”
The two Dragon Head Treasure Eagles tightened their wings, revealing the awe in their hearts, “If it weren't for its indifference to the Gobi, it would have long since wiped us out.”
They were Xuan Beasts, yet still so afraid of a Primal Beast, so the Mystic Sky Crocodile had even less chance of resisting a Primal Beast.
However, the Entering Sainthood Incantation pointed towards the Primitive Forest; to comprehend the Sacred Artifact, it was a necessary path.
If they relied on the Dragon Head Treasure Eagle to fly directly over the Primitive Forest and the lake, what they might face could truly be the legendary Immortal Beast, and then they would have no chance of winning at all.
Alas, if Guan Tusheng were here, it would be great; he could use the Tianji Abacus to calculate.
“If we team up to fight the Primal Beast, there’s still some hope, right?” Qian Duoduo asked the Dragon Head Treasure Eagle.
The Dragon Head Treasure Eagle nodded.
“Purify the black Qi, and when the Thorn Spirit Vine wakes up, everything will be fine.”
A quarter of an hour later, the two Dragon Head Treasure Eagles, gripping two giant rocks, soared into the sky, circling above the Primitive Forest for a while before releasing their talons, sending the giant rocks crashing to the ground.
“Boom!”
After two loud thuds, the Primitive Forest began to churn like boiling water.
The Dragon Head Treasure Eagle flew back to the Gobi and picked up two more giant rocks.
As one giant rock after another fell, a thousand-zhang-long vine slowly appeared above the Primitive Forest.
The vine seemed to move slowly, but in one stretch and retraction, it crossed hundreds of zhang.
This thousand-zhang vine was the Thorn Spirit Vine.
The Thorn Spirit Vine's 'hands' were countless branches, and these branches also broke off some giant trees, using them as weapons to strike back at the Dragon Head Treasure Eagle in the sky; however, the giant trees were somewhat light and could not be shot to a height that would threaten the Dragon Head Treasure Eagle.
After taking over a dozen rocks, the Thorn Spirit Vine became enraged.
After a whistling sound from the forest, a black python over twenty zhang long appeared above the Primitive Forest.
The black python was formed by the Thorn Spirit Vine; with a strange shriek, it flew towards the Dragon Head Treasure Eagle in the sky.
Seeing the unfavorable situation, the Dragon Head Treasure Eagle quickly fled towards the Gobi Desert.
The black python, furious from being struck, refused to give up and pursued relentlessly.
The Dragon Head Treasure Eagle continuously dodged in the Gobi; seeing that they were about to be caught by the black python, the two of them stopped, turned to face the black python, and swung their eagle beaks, pecking down fiercely.
As a high-level Primal Beast, the black python fiercely flicked its tongue and swung its tail, sweeping towards them.
Just then, Qian Duoduo emerged from the feathers beneath the Dragon Head Treasure Eagle; his Purple Eyes, which had been prepared for a long time, shot towards the black python’s eyes.
The black python initially thought the Dragon Head Treasure Eagle was up to some trick, but by the time the black Qi in its mind began to flee, it was already caught in a chaotic state, unsure whether to escape or fight.
In an instant, the Purple Eyes purified the black Qi.
Qian Duoduo stopped the Dragon Head Treasure Eagle, preventing it from wildly biting the snake's tail.
“Who are you?”
The Thorn Spirit Vine, now clear-headed, changed its black skin to green, transforming from a black python into a green python.
“My name is Qian Duoduo, and I come from outside this world.”
Qian Duoduo scrutinized the Thorn Spirit Vine before him.
Its true form was a Jianmu Dragon Staff, a high-level Spiritual Artifact.
The reason it could become a Spiritual Artifact was primarily because it was made from a branch of the Jianmu tree.
And Jianmu is a rare divine wood in the world.
The Encyclopedia of Weapon Refining records that Jianmu is a bridge between humans and gods.
At some unknown time, Jianmu was destroyed, and its branches were scattered across the world.
Each branch is a highly sought-after material.
If the Thorn Spirit Vine had not regained consciousness and voluntarily ceased its attack, Qian Duoduo and the Dragon Head Treasure Eagle, even working together, would not have been able to withstand a single move from it.
“Your strength is too weak; only your two eyes are somewhat formidable.”
The Thorn Spirit Vine saw through Qian Duoduo's cultivation, which was merely Foundation Establishment Late Stage. “However, your courage is quite good. How about coming with me to save my young master?”
