Because he found that the spiritual energy in the high altitude was so thin it was negligible.
It's over!
The guard closed his eyes in despair.
But the Nine-tailed Vulture had no intention of letting him go.
When he was still a thousand meters from the ground, the Nine-tailed Vulture caught him again.
This time, the Nine-tailed Vulture's sharp claws dug directly into his wounded back.
The guard let out a miserable cry.
This was not the end. The Nine-tailed Vulture grabbed him and flew up to an altitude of three thousand meters again, then released its claws.
The previous fear repeated itself.
At this moment, Mu Qingyan and Qing Yu had recovered their senses, but the Nine-tailed Vulture never stayed below an altitude of one thousand meters. Even if they wanted to save him, they were powerless.
The other guard's hands trembled as he held the egg, and his face was filled with fear.
Chu Keren's pretty face was as pale as paper, clearly terrified.
Qian Pangzi watched the guard being tossed around like a toy, his fat body shaking uncontrollably.
He quietly moved to Mu Qingyan and Qing Yu's side and whispered, "Xiao Yuzi, let's leave quickly!"
Qing Yu's mouth twitched. He finally understood how Qing Feng felt every time Qian Shaojie called him Xiao Fengzi.
It was a kind of helplessness where one wanted to hit someone but had to hold back.
Of course, now was not the time to dwell on such matters.
Mu Qingyan looked at the ferocious Nine-tailed Vulture in the sky and said solemnly, "Qing Yu, take the fatty and go!"
This flat-feathered beast, the Nine-tailed Vulture, was not only murderous but also extremely vengeful.
If he guessed correctly, the Nine-tailed Vulture would definitely find trouble with Qian Pangzi.
After all, it was Qian Pangzi who bumped into the guard, causing the guard to fall to the ground and crush the Nine-tailed Vulture's egg.
Therefore, once the Nine-tailed Vulture was free, its first target would definitely be Qian Pangzi.
Qing Yu looked at Mu Qingyan's expression and knew the urgency of the situation.
He quickly nodded, cupped his hands at Mu Qingyan, and prepared to leave with Qian Pangzi.
"Wait! You can't leave this princess behind!"
Chu Keren was so frightened by the ferocious Nine-tailed Vulture that she no longer cared about their previous unpleasantness.
Any past grievances were minor compared to the threat of death.
Qing Yu did not want to take Chu Keren with them, as she had harbored murderous intentions towards Qian Pangzi earlier.
No matter how annoying Qian Pangzi was, it was an internal matter among their group, and an outsider had no right to provoke them.
Just as he was about to refuse, he heard Mu Qingyan transmit his voice: "Take her with you, and hurry!"
Although Qing Yu was somewhat reluctant, he knew that Mu Qingyan must have his reasons for saying so.
Therefore, he coldly said to Chu Keren, "Go," and then led Qian Pangzi forward.
However, at this moment, Chu Keren's self-destructive tendencies flared up again.
She had only taken one step when she stopped again.
Then, she looked at the guard trembling as he held the egg, a trace of greed flashing in her eyes.
It was the egg of the Sky King, the Nine-tailed Vulture!
So, she gritted her teeth, walked up to the guard, and said, "Give me the egg!"
The guard was stunned for a moment before hastily handing the egg into Chu Keren's arms, trembling, "Your Highness, hurry and leave. This subordinate will cover your retreat."
Chu Keren nodded and followed Qing Yu with the egg in her arms.
What she didn't notice was that the moment she turned with the egg, a cold and schadenfreude glint flashed in the guard's eyes.
At this moment, the egg was a ticking time bomb, and it was a ticking time bomb locked onto by the Nine-tailed Vulture.
Just as the Nine-tailed Vulture was preparing to lift the person under its claws into the sky again, it sensed the aura of its child moving in one direction.
Its eyes flared with ferocity.
Damn humans, you've already killed one of my children, and now you want to take the other one away? How can I stand this!
So, it abandoned the guard, who was barely alive from its torment, and let him fall freely. It then charged towards Qing Yu and the other two.
This time, it was determined to tear these detestable humans to shreds.
Mu Qingyan's attention had been entirely on the Nine-tailed Vulture, so he hadn't noticed Chu Keren's small maneuver at all.
Therefore, he didn't know why the Nine-tailed Vulture had suddenly attacked Qing Yu and the other two, but this didn't stop him from intercepting it.
"Beast, your opponent is me!"
As he spoke, he drew the long sword at his waist and slashed a sword qi across the Nine-tailed Vulture's path.
He did this because the Nine-tailed Vulture's speed was too fast to be intercepted by ordinary means.
As soon as the sword qi formed, the Nine-tailed Vulture had already rushed forward.
Due to its excessive speed, it almost collided with the sword qi.
If it had been hit squarely, more than half of the Nine-tailed Vulture's body would have been cleaved off by the sword qi.
Fortunately, its reaction was not slow. At the critical moment, it directly pulled its body up by ten meters, narrowly dodging the sword qi.
However, this delay also caused the Nine-tailed Vulture's extreme speed to slow down.
The moment Mu Qingyan unleashed the sword qi, he had already quickly moved to the gap where Qing Yu and the other two had just left.
Immediately, he unleashed three more sword qi.
The Nine-tailed Vulture sensed the danger and was forced to stop its pursuit of Qing Yu and the other two.
It flapped its wings and glared fiercely at Mu Qingyan, who was blocking its path, transmitting its voice, "Shameless human, return my child!"
Mu Qingyan was slightly stunned and subconsciously looked at the guard holding the egg.
Upon looking, he realized that the egg in the guard's arms was gone.
At this point, if Mu Qingyan still couldn't guess that Chu Keren had taken the egg, he wouldn't have been a general.
He inwardly cursed, his expression turning extremely grim.
It seemed Qian Pangzi was right; that Princess Qionghua was truly an idiot.
And in that moment of Mu Qingyan's daze, the Nine-tailed Vulture had already bypassed him and chased after Qing Yu and the other two.
The Nine-tailed Vulture's intelligence was not low. It knew that lingering with Mu Qingyan was meaningless, so it employed a feint and bypassed him. Su Dan Novel Network.
By the time Mu Qingyan recovered, it was too late.
This was because Qing Feng and the other two had not gone far.
He had intended to buy them some time, but his plan was disrupted by that greedy, idiotic princess.
It was too late to say anything now. He glanced at the White Tiger Cave residence not far away, turned, and chased after Qing Yu and the other two.
Meanwhile, Qing Yu had not run far with Qian Pangzi when he felt a demonic wind approaching.
What's going on?
How could this beast catch up so quickly?
A large question mark appeared in Qing Yu's mind.
Suddenly, he inadvertently saw the egg in Chu Keren's arms, and his expression turned grim.
