Ghost Catching System-Chapter 656 - 655 Catching Eagle Chicks_1

Zaxi gazed toward the distant mountains, where everything was blanketed in white. The sun was nearing its set, and the mountain was shrouded in mist, wrapped in a layer of silvery white, as beautiful as an ancient painting.

Zaxi said, "I have a dream to see the Divine Eagle."

The Divine Eagle!

Chu Hao stroked his chin. I wonder if the giant eagle I saw yesterday counts as the Divine Eagle.

Ma Bozhen gave a wry smile and said, "Old friend, you're putting us in a tough spot. Isn't the Divine Eagle just a myth?"

Zaxi earnestly replied, "Ma Duo, it's no myth. The Divine Eagle truly exists. Remember I told you it once saved my life?"

Ma Bozhen shrugged and said, "You've told me dozens of times over drinks."

Zaxi looked at Chu Hao and said, "I only have this one request. If it's not possible, I won't hand over the Blood Lotus Flower."

Chu Hao said, "Okay."

Zaxi was surprised but then shook his head. "I'm such a fool. You're just an ordinary person. How could you possibly find the Divine Eagle?"

Chu Hao waved his hand and said, "Isn't it just a giant eagle? I saw it last night. Wasn't that eagle about ten meters wide?"

Ma Bozhen scratched his head. "You saw the giant eagle last night?"

To their surprise, Zaxi grabbed Chu Hao's hand, excitedly saying, "Yes, that's the Divine Eagle! It's actually still here!"

Zaxi was so excited, he practically wished Chu Hao would take him to find the Divine Eagle right away.

Chu Hao stroked his chin and said, "But before that, I'd like to see how many Blood Lotus Flowers you have on hand."

Zaxi didn't hesitate and took out his treasured Blood Lotus Flower. However, his flower was dry and resembled a snow lotus, but its petals were blood-red. It was only enough to make medicine once. Chu Hao's head began to throb. I need three Blood Lotus Flowers, which means three blossoms.

The System announced, "Dried Blood Lotus Flower, can be exchanged for one thousand Pretentiousness Points."

Chu Hao asked, "Where did you pick this Blood Lotus Flower?"

Zaxi looked at the Blood Lotus Flower and said with a sigh, "The Divine Eagle gave it to me."

It turned out that when Zaxi was middle-aged, he got lost while searching for herbs in the mountains. The mountain was enveloped in heavy snow, and he almost died up there.

Just as his life was slipping away, a vast shadow blocked the sun, grabbed him, soared into the sky, and brought him down from the snowy mountain.

Back then, after Zaxi was brought down from the mountain, he would have eventually died, as there was no one around.

But the monstrous shadow placed a petal of the Blood Lotus Flower into Zaxi's mouth, prolonging his life until he was eventually found, with a Blood Lotus Flower beside him.

Having heard Zaxi's story, Chu Hao questioned, "How do you know for sure that the Divine Eagle is that giant eagle? What if it's not?"

Zaxi said, "There's a legend in Tibet that the Divine Eagle protects the Tibetan people. I owe my survival entirely to the Divine Eagle's rescue."

According to his description, such a vast shadow does match the giant eagle I saw yesterday.

One Blood Lotus Flower isn't enough; I need to find more, Chu Hao thought. Perhaps only the Divine Eagle Zaxi mentioned can help me solve this problem.

At that moment, from who knows where, the toad transmitted its voice, "So, it turns out you, kid, are looking for the Blood Lotus Flower. This Sovereign was wondering what you were doing in Tibet."

Chu Hao promised Zaxi he would think of a way, then went outside to ask the toad, "Do you know about the Blood Lotus Flower?"

The toad said, "Of course, I do. It's a mutated herb of the snow lotus, incredibly rare. How about we collaborate, Kiddo Chu? We find the Blood Lotus Flower and split it evenly."

Chu Hao said disdainfully, "Collaborate with you and split it evenly? I'd rather find it on my own."

The toad replied with disdain, "Then go ahead and find it. Without this Sovereign, how will you find that giant eagle?"

Chu Hao asked, "What's your idea?"

The toad said proudly, "Of course, I have an idea! Didn't this Sovereign kill a few eagles yesterday? If we go out and kill a few more, it'll show up."

Chu Hao stroked his chin and said, "That's true, but you're killing its followers and then expecting it to lead you to the Blood Lotus Flower? Who would be that good-tempered?"

The toad realized he had a point. After all, the giant eagle was quite powerful; even the toad was wary of truly angering it. Helpless, it said, "Then what do you suggest we do?"

Chu Hao went back inside and asked Elder Zaxi about legends concerning the Divine Eagle and under what circumstances it would appear.

Zaxi said, "Legend has it that the Divine Eagle is the mount of the Great Brahma God. It accompanied the Great Brahma God in practicing Buddhism, is kind-hearted, and cannot bear to see life in danger. Once someone needs its help, it will appear."

Chu Hao scratched his head. Do I have to pretend to be on the brink of death?

Zaxi continued, "There is another saying: when demons appear, the Divine Eagle will also appear to subdue evil in the world."

Chu Hao nodded. After thinking it over, the toad's idea seems more reliable.

Therefore, Chu Hao discussed it with the toad, and they finally decided to go to the snowy mountain to catch eagles, thereby forcing the giant eagle to appear.

After resting for the night at Zaxi's house, they set off the next day, having Zaxi's grandson, Duoji, guide them to find eagles on the snowy mountain.

Zaxi also wanted to go. He insisted on seeing the Divine Eagle in person, and no one could dissuade him. In the end, Elder Ma Bozhen also joined the expedition.

Once ready, everyone headed up the snowy mountain together.

The weather was pleasant, and it took half a day before the group began their ascent of the snowy mountain.

Snowflakes fluttered about; the landscape was dressed in a cloak of white, as if adorned in snowy garments.

Zaxi and his grandson were experienced in ascending snowy mountains. They climbed steadily, and the others kept pace. Only Ma Bozhen was somewhat out of breath, but he gritted his teeth and persevered.

Finally, they saw eagles circling in the sky above. There has to be an eagle's nest nearby, Chu Hao thought.

Indeed, on a mountain peak, on a patch clear of snow, they spotted an eagle's nest.

Chu Hao asked the others to wait, then ascended with the toad. His Qinggong skills were exceptional, allowing him to quickly scale the peak. In the nest, he saw several eaglets squawking.

Chu Hao asked, "Toad, what are they saying?"

The toad turned its head, its plump, chubby body clinging to the rock wall. Glaring at Chu Hao with both eyes, it said, "This Sovereign is not an animal, kid! Are you asking for a beating?"

Chu Hao asked, "You really don't know?"

The toad pounced, opening its large mouth to bite Chu Hao's arm.

And truly, this toad had some skill in biting. Despite its small size, it actually had teeth. It bit down on Chu Hao's arm so hard that he gasped in pain.

"Let go!" Chu Hao yelled.

Annoyed, Chu Hao grabbed the toad but felt the bumps on its back were extremely hard; he couldn't even crush it.

As everyone knows, toads have soft bodies, but this one was harder than a rock.

With no other choice, Chu Hao threw a punch, sending the toad flying. He rolled up his sleeve and inhaled sharply. There was a row of teeth marks, as if he had been bitten by a piranha!

The toad spat. "PTOOEY! PTOOEY! What foul meat! Kid, how many days has it been since you last bathed?"

Chu Hao's face darkened. Furious, he swung the Ritian Stick at the toad. The toad dodged, sprang up like a spring, and bit him again.

"Damn it! Toad, let go!"
