Chapter 827: Chapter 828 Passage_1
Zeus had imagined Song Jian’s death more than once, but when “Song Jian” actually died before his eyes, his heart was filled with doubt;
“Impossible, how could he die so easily?” Zeus muttered to himself;
“Could it be, could it be an illusion, a clone skill of some sort?” someone speculated;
“It must be, that means, he’s already nearby, maybe he’s already entered the nest, using a Phantom Clone to lure away the hawk guarding the chicks, then stealing the Battle Pet Egg?”
“Yes, that’s definitely the case, which means he’s already inside Falcon Cliff. Should we…?”
At this point, Song Jian was isolated, and he was in a place as dangerous as Eagle Falcon Cliff; moreover, the Pantheon, calculating without his knowledge, wanted to kill Song Jian—this was the best opportunity;
...
“Let’s do it, the main goal of this operation is to eliminate Song Jian. As long as we finish him off, getting the flying mount later won’t matter!” Zeus gritted his teeth.

The Pantheon’s group of more than a dozen swiftly headed toward Falcon Cliff;
At this moment, Song Jian had already put all seven or eight eggs from the nest into his inventory. Just as he was about to turn and leave through the cave entrance, he suddenly lost contact with his Sword Shadow Clone, which gave him a start;
“So fast!”
The Sword Shadow Clone was only level one, inheriting only 30% of Song Jian’s attributes and couldn’t withstand several seconds under the attack of a large group of hawks, leaving Song Jian no time to escape through the cave entrance;
Just as Song Jian reached the entrance, a clamor of screeching sounds came at him, and hundreds of hawks began returning to their respective nests;
Song Jian stopped in his tracks, his mind raced, and he re-entered stealth mode, slowly retreating deeper into the cave;
The level 45 hawk returned to its nest, lay down comfortably, faced the entrance, and began to rest with its eyes closed. After a moment, it seemed to sense something was amiss, couldn’t help but look back at its nest made of various grasses, and found that the seven or eight eggs that should have been there were all gone.
Roar~
A heart-rending cry of anguish echoed from the nest as the level 45 hawk shot out like an arrow, circling continuously midair, its eyes fixed on the ground, as if searching for something.
At this time, Song Jian hid in the deepest part of the cave, not daring to make a single move for fear of alerting the frenzied hawk to his presence.
Outside the cave at this moment, another dozen hawks had flown out, circling continuously in the sky, and even the group from the Pantheon didn’t dare move forward, temporarily stopping;
“Look, Song Jian must still be inside the hawk’s nest. Maybe he’s already got his hands on the eggs; otherwise, why would these hawks be going crazy like this!” the Pantheon’s God of Thieves said excitedly, pointing to the hawks circling in the sky;
At this time, Song Jian was checking the hawk eggs in his inventory. He noticed that these hawk eggs were not stacked upon each other, but each one occupied a separate slot in his inventory;
“What’s going on here, could it be that these hawk eggs are all different?” Song Jian frowned slightly;
If there were identical eagle falcon eggs in large quantities, they would likely stack in one slot in the bag, only eggs of different qualities would be kept separately;
Song Jian’s gaze fell on the first eagle falcon egg, and his expression changed instantly;
“A damaged eagle falcon egg, quality: white, usage effect: Opening it may yield some materials from the eagle falcon! Usage requirement: none!”
“It’s actually not a flying mount…” Song Jian sighed slightly in his heart, but he also understood that the system couldn’t be so generous as to give seven or eight flying mounts at once!
Looking at the other eagle falcon eggs in his inventory, Song Jian couldn’t help but hope in his heart that at least one would be a flying mount, otherwise, risking his life to steal eagle falcon eggs really wouldn’t have been worth it this time.
Upon clicking on this eagle falcon egg, Song Jian obtained a piece of green-quality eagle falcon meat, which could be used for cooking. This piece of green-quality meat was pretty high-level and could be sold for a few Doomsday Coins. If it were another player, they would surely be satisfied, but for Song Jian, this value wasn’t worth the risk to his life;
The second, the third, the fourth…
After opening six eagle falcon eggs in a row, the result was only some green and blue-quality materials, which together might be worth around ten or twenty thousand Doomsday Coins, but without a flying mount, Song Jian really felt at a loss this time;
The last eagle falcon egg was a “perfect eagle falcon egg.” He had obtained two “perfect eagle falcon eggs” before, and the materials that came out of them were more valuable than those from the “damaged eagle falcon eggs”;
Song Jian didn’t hold much hope for this one either and just casually clicked on it;
At that moment, a beam of silver light burst forth from the egg, and a bead the thickness of a finger appeared in the inventory slot.
“Eagle Falcon Soul, grade: rare item, usage effect: When used on a flying mount, permanently increases flight speed by 2 points! This item can only be used on the same flying mount up to 10 times!”
“A rare item?” Song Jian’s eyes lit up. Although the item was not as valuable as an eagle falcon mount, it was still pretty good. Items that permanently increased attributes were always highly priced, and this eagle falcon soul, though only enhancing the flight speed of flying mounts and meaningless for players without one, wouldn’t fetch a high price. However, if the number of players with flying mounts increased, then such a soul wouldn’t be much less than those Attribute Fruits that increased strength or agility;
After taking the eagle falcon soul, Song Jian looked up towards the cave entrance. By now, the eagle falcons circling outside in the sky had calmed down, all except for the one in the nest Song Jian was in, as the others had returned to their respective nests.
After a short while, the eagle falcon of Song Jian’s cave also flew over slowly and settled down at the entrance, motionless;
In this state, Song Jian had no way to exit through the entrance, so after quietly waiting for a bit, he began to explore deeper into the cave;
All the caves at Falcon Cliff had a narrow passage in the back, no wider than half a meter, completely inaccessible to the adult eagle falcons, typically used only for ventilation, and it was only the newly hatched eagle falcon chicks, when their parents were away, who would sneak into these passages to play. As a result, many of these passages contained the skeletons of young eagle falcons;
Song Jian moved slowly forward through the passage, which was so narrow in some places he had to bend over to crawl through. Along the way, he saw a few young eagle falcon skeletons that were only half the size of an adult human’s arm and seemed to have died from falling from the passage and hitting sharp rocks;
Song Jian gave these skeletons only a glance before continuing forward, and soon, light appeared ahead, indicating the end of the passage. He quickened his pace involuntarily;
