Chapter 2449: 2449 **Chapter 2449: Can’t Afford to Provoke, Better to Hide** A massive eagle circled in the sky, looking very peculiar to Lin Moyu. It was clearly an eagle but had fish scales. It had wings and sharp claws, but also a fish tail. It looked like a combination of a fish and an eagle, so Lin Moyu aptly named it the "Fish Eagle." The Fish Eagle ignored the deadly breeze in the sky, continuously circling and occasionally letting out sharp cries. It seemed to be searching for something, and Lin Moyu knew it was looking for prey, though he was not its target. Lin Moyu cautiously used the Eye of the Undead to take a quick glance. Judging by the intensity of its soul fire, the Fish Eagle was even stronger than Cheng Hong Guang. It could fly in the sky, ignoring the deadly breeze, giving it a significant advantage. Even Cheng Hong Guang would stand little chance against it. Lin Moyu only took a quick look, not daring to stare for fear of attracting its attention. He then used the Eye of the Undead to scan the surroundings and finally saw a soul fire not far away. This soul fire was slightly weaker than the Fish Eagle’s, but still had the strength of a high-level Celestial Sovereign. Crucially, this soul fire was only a hundred meters away, practically right next to him. Looking further, he saw many similar soul fires scattered around. This grassland was indeed unsafe, filled with dangers everywhere. The Fish Eagle circled for a while and finally locked onto a target. With a piercing scream, it flapped its wings, which expanded infinitely like giant fans, stirring up a boundless wind. The wind seemed to lift the entire grassland, sending countless blades of grass into the sky. Tornadoes formed automatically, transforming the green grassland into a chaotic mess. Lin Moyu felt a bit fortunate that the Fish Eagle’s target was far from him; otherwise, he would not have been able to withstand it. The powerful wind felt like sharp blades cutting into his body, and even his undying golden body was not very effective against such an attack. Lin Moyu knew that if he collided head-on with the tornado, he would be torn to pieces. Roars echoed in his ears, and through the Eye of the Undead, he saw countless high-level Celestial Sovereigns suddenly erupting from the grassland. Giant pythons emerged, each with eight pairs of small wings on their backs and eight pairs of sharp claws beneath them. Although they looked like pythons, they had fish mouths and tails, as if everything in this world was related to the Realm Sea. The fish-shaped pythons shot out like arrows, attacking the Fish Eagle in groups of twenty. Lin Moyu suddenly understood that not only did the Fish Eagle want to hunt them, but they also wanted to hunt the Fish Eagle. This was a two-way hunt, and it was hard to say who the prey was. The Fish Eagle screamed and soared into the sky, leaving only an afterimage, which was torn apart by the pythons. The Fish Eagle dodged the attack and continued to circle high above, stirring up more wind. It flew higher than the pythons could reach, as they could only fall back after a certain height, unable to stay airborne. Lin Moyu guessed that the deadly breeze posed a threat to the pythons. The pythons spewed out a foul yellow gas, forming a thick yellow fog that obscured the Fish Eagle’s vision. Lin Moyu noticed that the fog was highly toxic, quickly corroding the grassland into liquid. The Fish Eagle used the wind to disperse the fog while continuously screaming. More black dots appeared in the distant sky, rapidly approaching with the wind. Each black dot was a Fish Eagle. The original hunt was quickly turning into a massive battle. Lin Moyu knew that with many pythons still hidden in the grassland, the scale of this battle could expand to cover the entire grassland, making it impossible for him to hide. "Go, I must leave!" Lin Moyu had only one thought: to get away from this dangerous place. If it were a small-scale battle, he might have stayed to watch and possibly take advantage. But now, he knew he couldn’t stay; the battle could engulf the entire grassland, and he had to leave. However, with his strength, leaving quietly was nearly impossible. If he were noticed, the consequences would be dire. Even if the Brocade-Clad Witch were still around, using the Great Dao’s protection would be futile. "I need to find an opportunity!" Lin Moyu’s eyes became sharp as he searched for a chance to escape. The arrival of the Fish Eagles marked the start of the battle, with countless tornadoes forming on the grassland, connecting heaven and earth in a terrifying display. The storm raged, tearing the grassland apart. The pythons and Fish Eagles clashed, killing each other. Through the Eye of the Undead, Lin Moyu saw more pythons awakening, silently approaching to deliver a fatal blow to the Fish Eagles. The Fish Eagles also noticed this and screamed in alarm. Taking advantage of the fierce battle, Lin Moyu made his move. "Go!" Cheng Hong Guang appeared beside him, enveloping Lin Moyu in an invisible force and taking him away. As a high-level Celestial Sovereign, Cheng Hong Guang was much faster than Lin Moyu, and his protection ensured Lin Moyu’s safety. They moved quickly across the grassland, trying not to attract attention. Lin Moyu hoped not to be noticed by the pythons and Fish Eagles, as even Cheng Hong Guang might not be able to protect him then. They skirted the battlefield, avoiding hidden pythons, and gradually moved away from the grassland. The distant mountains and forests grew larger in their view, and Lin Moyu felt relieved as he moved further from the battlefield. However, he did not dare to relax. Suddenly, a sharp cry from the sky made Lin Moyu’s hair stand on end; he felt he was being targeted. A Fish Eagle swooped down from high above, heading straight for him. Its wings flapped, sending countless wind blades like sharp knives towards him. The grassland ahead exploded, revealing a giant python blocking Lin Moyu’s path. The python opened its mouth, ready to spew yellow fog. Lin Moyu ordered Cheng Hong Guang, "Ignore them, go!" At the same time, he summoned the Star Enchantment Lich, activating the Illusion of the Great Dao. The python’s eyes glazed over; it had locked onto Lin Moyu but suddenly turned to attack the Fish Eagle, spewing yellow fog. The Star Enchantment Lich had influenced its mind, making it ignore Lin Moyu and attack the Fish Eagle instead. The Fish Eagle screamed, using the wind to disperse the fog. The next moment, the python leaped up to fight the Fish Eagle. The Fish Eagle shifted its focus from Lin Moyu to the python, engaging in a fierce battle. Seizing the opportunity, Lin Moyu had Cheng Hong Guang speed up, using the Eye of the Undead to avoid hidden pythons and leave the grassland. The battle between the Fish Eagles and pythons continued, expanding to cover the entire grassland. After several detours, Lin Moyu finally left the grassland safely. He encountered more pythons along the way, but the Star Enchantment Lich managed to neutralize them. These pythons were powerful but lacked intelligence, relying more on instinct, making them susceptible to the Star Enchantment Lich’s influence. As he moved away from the battlefield, Lin Moyu felt increasingly puzzled. These high-level Celestial Sovereigns had only weak intelligence, which was highly unusual. Moreover, they had no rule world, relying purely on strength to reach the high-level Celestial Sovereign realm. Lin Moyu occasionally wondered if the rule world was truly necessary. Perhaps there were multiple paths in cultivation!
