Chapter 006: Golden Eagles and Poisonous Pythons

As Qiao’s overall aura reached its peak, this god known as the God of Food simply turned his fork. With that turn, a green light appeared before everyone present, attacking them like waves.
Du Fan was enveloped in white light as he withstood the green light.
Moses screamed loudly as golden-green combat energy burst forth from his body; he stepped back several times before driving his War Sword into the ground to resist as well.
Basha pushed off the ground with both feet, leaning forward in apparent struggle, but eventually gave in, falling to the ground and tumbling several times.
As for the others, they were all blown far away by the green light!
Only Liu Yi remained motionless, lying flat on the ground!
But Qiao had surely shown mercy—none of these people were seriously injured.
“Haha,” Qiao laughed at their states. “It seems you can’t advance to the next stage! You still can’t defeat me.”
At that moment, Qiao suddenly felt dizzy and his body began to shake uncontrollably.
“Mr. Qiao, we may not be able to defeat you, but you can fall on your own,” Du Fan said with a smile.
“Good, smart kid,” Qiao laughed again before finally falling to the ground.
“Hurry up! I don’t know how long the effect of these drinks will last,” Du Fan shouted upon seeing Qiao fall.
Amazing—true gods are indeed gods! After drinking nine bottles of 56-degree liquor in a row, he only fell drunk now! Du Fan moved forward quickly, thinking as he went.
From the start, Du Fan kept pouring liquor into Qiao. Finally, during the intense battle, the large amount of alcohol in his body took effect, and he became drunk despite using all his strength!
Quickly leaving the valley, the scenery changed once again.
Above a deep pond, a waterfall tumbled straight down!
The water splashed into droplets that resembled pearls, glowing with colorful light under the sunlight!
On the cliff where the waterfall fell, two giant golden eagles with terrifying golden eyes watched over the group!
“Liu Yi, go explore ahead,” Du Fan ordered. To move forward, they had to pass by that deep pond, and the path beside it was the only way into the valley.
“Why me?” Liu Yi complained.

“You have tough bones! Besides, as long as your Skeleton Fire doesn’t go out, you won’t truly die. In such a situation, if you don’t go ahead to scout, who will?” Du Fan said.
“And don’t worry. Even if something goes wrong, we’ll take your Skeleton Fire back. At worst, we can just find you another skeletal host,” Du Fan added.
Under Du Fan’s urging, the Six-Winged leader reluctantly stepped forward cautiously.
Have you ever seen a skeleton walk so carefully? That’s exactly what the Six-Winged one was doing now—its six wings tightly folded against its spine as it took careful steps forward.
Seeing the Six-Winged one like this, Du Fan couldn’t help but think of a thief!
This Six-Winged one was only supposed to scout ahead, but it ended up acting like a thief!
As the Six-Winged one continued to move forward step by step, two golden eagles suddenly flapped their huge wings in place and began to cry out loudly!
Their high-pitched cries echoed into the sky!
Hearing the sharp cries of the two golden eagles, the Six-Winged one stopped in its tracks, too afraid to move forward.
“Six-Winged, are you that timid? Are you scared just because of two little birds’ cries?” Du Fan shouted from behind.
“I feel like these two big birds are sending some kind of signal. Maybe we should wait,” the Six-Winged one said hesitantly.
To be honest, the Six-Winged one was a bit scared. Although it was a Saint-class skeleton, since its birth, everything it had seen were beings far stronger than itself. Its intelligence was that of a three-year-old child. Such experiences left a shadow in its heart—namely, it felt as if it lived at the bottom of society! Everyone and every race seemed stronger than it!
Moreover, the presence of those two golden eagles was indeed astonishing. Naturally, this filled the Six-Winged one with fear.
Seeing the Six-Winged one like this, Du Fan couldn’t help but chuckle secretly.
A skeleton behaving like a few-year-old child—truly, it was quite amusing!
Just as no one spoke again, movement began in the deep pool!
The area hit by the waterfall’s water was naturally turbulent, but the surface of the pool near the path was as calm as a mirror.

Just as Du Fan and his group were secretly laughing at Six Wings, ripples suddenly appeared on the calm surface of the deep pool near them. As the ripples spread outward, a giant snake head suddenly emerged from the water! The snake head was emerald green! It was already as big as a horse! Even more strangely, there was a single horn growing on top of the snake head, glowing with a dark light! Its huge tongue appeared above the water, and as its massive mouth opened, a stream of green water shot toward Six Wings! That green water carried a pungent, fishy smell and poured down onto Six Wings. The skeleton of a saintly rank, the bones of a six-winged angel, and Six Wings’ movements were extremely agile! With leaps and bounds, its six wings flapped in the air as it jumped right in front of Du Fan. The green water landed on the ground, quickly spreading a strong stench. The areas hit by the green water sank deeply! Its corrosive power was enough to erode the ground itself! The toxicity of that green water was already extremely fierce! Seeing the snake head emerge from the water, two golden eagles perched on the cliff took off and dove straight at Six Wings! Strangely, both golden eagles targeted Six Wings! In fact, from the golden eagles’ perspective, Six Wings had first invaded their territory, so they aimed at him! Perhaps those golden eagles also had extraordinary discernment, able to see that among this group, only Six Wings had the lowest cultivation level! As Six Wings, who had just found a host, this saintly rank skeleton was merely at an early stage of that rank. Red, yellow, blue, green, and purple quickly drew their bows and shot arrows at the two golden eagles. Seeing the arrows flying toward them, the golden eagles cried out and flapped their four wings violently! A strong wind immediately deflected the arrows, causing them to fly past the eagles’ bodies! That strong wind raised huge clouds of dust, blinding everyone in the group! At that moment, Six Wings let out a scream! Then, there were two high-pitched bird cries and the sound of frantic wing flapping! After the wind passed, the group opened their eyes and saw deep scratches on Six Wings’ shoulders, along with several feathers on the ground! What happened was this: while the strong wind blinded Du Fan and his group, the two golden eagles had already rushed at Six Wings.

Then, both golden eagles stretched out their sharp claws and grabbed Six-Wings’ shoulders. Those razor-sharp claws actually pierced into Six-Wings’ bones. Six-Wings felt intense pain, and as it waved its bony claws, its six wings flapped violently. In this way, the feathers on the bodies of the two golden eagles were torn off by Six-Wings! The loud sound of the flapping wings included the sounds of both Six-Wings and the two golden eagles flapping at the same time. The two golden eagles, also in pain from Six-Wings’ claws, flapped their wings and flew swiftly into the sky! After this confrontation, both sides became more vigilant. Du Fan knew just how hard Six-Wings’ bones were; back then, to test their hardness, he had used the Frostfall Blade. Amidst Six-Wings’ pleas, Du Fan uttered many tempting words before finally slashing at its arm bone. That slash left a mark on Six-Wings’ arm that was less than one-third as deep as the current scratches on its shoulders! Du Fan was well aware that although he hadn’t used his full strength, he still applied about 80% of it. With 80% of his strength, combined with the sharpness of the Frostfall Blade, the wound was only one-third as deep as the current one! One could imagine just how sharp those golden eagle claws were! On Six-Wings’ shoulders, the milky white light circulated faster, and soon the deep scratches gradually faded and disappeared, as if they had never been there. After possessing the bones of an angel like Six-Wings, it even acquired the ability to heal itself automatically! After slashing Six-Wings that time, Du Fan also analyzed the characteristics of that milky white light and was surprised to find that it was extremely similar to his own Light Combat Qi! In other words, that milky white light had the properties of Light Combat Qi! Magic and combat energy of the Light element possess powerful healing effects, so it wasn’t surprising that Six-Wings’ light could heal its own wounds automatically. But strangely, an evil creature like a skeleton could possess something similar to Light Combat Qi or Light magic! That was truly bizarre! Logically, if an evil creature like a skeleton had light-based powers, those powers would corrode it!

However, the light power within this skeleton, Six Wings, not only failed to corrode its bones but also automatically healed its wounds after injury! This was truly a miracle!
After studying Six Wings carefully that time, Du Fan sighed and said that this situation could only be explained by the fact that the skeleton of the six-winged angel that Six Wings inhabited retained some skills from its past life within its bones. Coincidentally, Six Wings inherited these skills from its host. The original owner of these bones was a six-winged angel on par with a higher deity! It was thus understandable that such skills could be passed down.
When he reached this conclusion, Du Fan looked at Six Wings strangely and then made a judgment: “This skeleton, Six Wings, is likely the only evil creature in this world that is not afraid of light power!”
