111: Saving the Azure Cloud Eagle Couple

Saving the Azure Cloud Eagle Couple

Xia Muqing and Jin Chao returned to the underground cellar again.2

When Radiant Sun saw that they had returned, it excitedly said, "You guys have finally returned. That Azure Cloud Eagle has just woken up."

Xia Muqing looked at the black eagle who was tied up and had a piece of cloth in its mouth. She frowned at the sight.

Radiant Sun rubbed its head in embarrassment. "I had no choice. It started to struggle as soon as it woke up. I was afraid that its cry would attract the people of the Goddess Clan. So I could only do that."

Xia Muqing had no intention to blame it. She nodded and stroked the back of the black eagle's neck to remind it to stay quiet. This was a common action between them.

The black eagle, which was struggling, suddenly fell silent. It couldn't see and could only sense the person beside it. It tilted its head and carefully rubbed against Xia Muqing.

Xia Muqing was delighted. Had it recognized her?

The black eagle's ears weren't as severely injured as its eyes. After treatment, it could already hear sounds.

The black eagle wanted to say something frantically, but its mouth was stuffed and it couldn't make a sound.

Xia Muqing whispered in its ear, "Black eagle, I will save your parents. Don't worry, I'll let go of you first. Don't make a sound."

After the black eagle nodded, Xia Muqing then worked together with Jin Chao to put it down properly.

Xia Muqing asked again, "Black eagle, do you know where your parents are?"

The black eagle replied softly, "They are in a very dark cave, but I don't know where it is. When they brought us there, we were all blindfolded. My parents are in danger now."

Xia Muqing wasn't disappointed. She had some clues at last.

Jin Chao suddenly interjected, "I think I know where it is."

Everyone looked at him in surprise.

After arranging for Radiant Sun and Jiang Yifan to continue guarding the black eagle, he led Xia Muqing out of the underground cellar.

The two of them arrived at the entrance of a cave. The entrance was tiny and was only half the height of a human. The cave had appeared in an empty space. There was nothing around them, not even a tree.

The cave that suddenly appeared was a very strange sight indeed. It was as if a small mountain had appeared out of nowhere in an open space, and another cave entrance had appeared on the mountain.

Xia Muqing asked curiously, "How did you find this place?"

This place was quite hidden.

Jin Chao replied, "When we were on our way to find you, I saw the people of the Goddess Clan performing a ritual here. This place should be very important to them. It might be where the Magus God is."

Since they had captured the black eagle and the phoenixes to revive the Magus God, then if they wanted to find the whereabouts of the black eagle's parents, the fastest way was to locate the Magus God.

Xia Muqing studied the hole and found a loop. With a gentle pull, the door opened.

The entrance wasn't locked.

The situation was getting weirder, but Xia Muqing and Jin Chao had no choice. No matter what was below, they had to go down and take a look.

After entering the cave, they carefully closed the door again.

The cave wasn't dark. There were many torches placed on the stone walls on both sides, illuminating the entire cave.

The decorations in the cave were extremely simple. They saw a coffin with simple patterns on it. It looked like something ancient.

Xia Muqing approached cautiously but was stopped by Jin Chao. He pulled her behind him and chose to walk ahead by himself.

Xia Muqing wasn't used to his protection, but she still felt a surge of warmth within her.

The two of them approached the coffin. The coffin was bound tightly by several long chains, as if it was worried that something would come out.

Jin Chao tried pulling the chains on the coffin. The chains seemed to have rusted, but they were still very strong. It was impossible to break them with human strength.
