Chapter 83

'Three'

'Two'

'One'

Lin Xiao silently counted down in his heart. When he reached one, he released the golden eagle’s claws and his body began to fall instantly.

Everything was going according to Lin Xiao’s plan, but many things can change in an instant. The golden eagle took a risky move, finally breaking free from Lin Xiao. It let out a triumphant cry and quickly ascended.

Lin Xiao also landed not far from his landing point, not even steady on his feet yet. The golden eagle had already circled around and dived down again, repeating the same old pattern.

However, this time Lin Xiao wouldn’t react like he did on the mountainside. He held his breath, activated his Fist Breaking technique, and slightly shifted his body to dodge the golden eagle’s attack. At the same time, he fiercely struck the golden eagle’s claws with his right fist.

"Screech!" The golden eagle’s claws were injured, and it angrily circled in the air, calling out. Lin Xiao’s Fist Breaking had caused its claws to start bleeding.

After circling for a long time, the golden eagle flew away into the distance. It knew that it couldn’t do much to Lin Xiao and had no way to deal with him, so it gave up.

Seeing the golden eagle finally fly away, Lin Xiao let out a sigh of relief. If something kept watching you from the sky and attacked when you were off guard, just thinking about it made him shiver.

After confirming that the golden eagle had truly flown away, Lin Xiao began to observe his surroundings. He was really lost now, having been carried by the golden eagle in the air and already confused, how could he remember so much?

Looking around, he had already left the Tian Shan range. The surrounding peaks were no longer covered by millennia of snow and ice.

Lin Xiao was now in a valley, surrounded by mountains on all sides, with a basin in the middle, forming a shape similar to a valley. The surroundings were full of spring vitality, with green buds sprouting outward.

Walking through the valley, Lin Xiao remained vigilant in this unknown place. He kept his eyes and ears open, observing everything around him.

Unknown trees, each requiring at least three adults to hug, clearly indicated that this was a remote area.

Vines entwined around the large trees, looking like a primeval forest. Stepping on the soft layer of dead leaves on the ground, Lin Xiao didn’t notice any abnormalities.

Slowly walking out of the area with the large trees, a small lake appeared before Lin Xiao. It was a very regular lake, looking like an artificial one, forming a perfect circle.

In the center of the lake was a stone, large enough for about three people to stand on. However, what caught Lin Xiao’s attention was a flower in the center of the lake.

This strange flower emitted an enticing fragrance, but after searching his memory, Lin Xiao found no information that matched this flower.

Lin Xiao’s curiosity was suddenly piqued. It looked like a rare flower, and he could guarantee that this strange flower shared a characteristic with the rare flowers he had previously stored in his spatial ring.

When he saw this flower, Lin Xiao felt it, so he immediately searched his memory.

The most certain reason Lin Xiao knew it was a rare flower was that the flower was emitting energy. Being sensitive to energy, Lin Xiao had already felt it the moment he saw it.

This rare flower, which wasn’t even recorded in any information, Lin Xiao didn’t know what to call it. The flower resembled a narcissus, with petals as white as jade, looking beautiful and noble.

Lin Xiao was very interested in this flower, but caution in the wild was the first rule. First, the flower was growing in the center of a circular lake, and the danger level of the lake was unknown. Additionally, he didn’t know if the flower had a guardian beast, which would be another problem if it did.

After much consideration, Lin Xiao decided to first test the safety of the lake. He ran back to the large trees, broke off some big branches, and removed the leaves.

Simple wooden poles were quickly made. He first tested the depth of the water, which was a little over one meter. The center of the lake might be deeper.

He walked around the lake, casually poking the water with the wooden poles to see if there were any large aquatic animals living in it.

'It seems there is no immediate danger in the lake for now,' Lin Xiao thought.

Lin Xiao had already planned how to reach the center of the lake. It would be a waste not to use the readily available materials.

Lin Xiao came to a large tree, circled it, and thought for a moment with his hand on his chin. He then ran into his spatial ring, took out a saw, and began this massive project.

The quiet valley was filled with the sound of metal scraping against wood. A tree that required two people to hug was gradually sawed through by Lin Xiao’s continuous efforts.

The large tree began to fall, crushing some surrounding weeds. Lin Xiao dragged the tree forward, leaving a large trail in the valley.

Returning to the lake, Lin Xiao sawed off the branches that forked off, leaving only the bare trunk.

"Ha!" Lin Xiao shouted, lifting the entire trunk. After estimating, he felt that the length of the tree was just enough to reach the center of the lake, so he slowly placed it down, forming a bridge to the center of the lake.

Lin Xiao walked across the tree to the center of the lake, getting a close look at the unknown rare flower.

To describe this rare flower, Lin Xiao could only use two words: beautiful. Only by getting close could he truly appreciate the beauty of this flower. Although it resembled a narcissus, it had an added element of nobility, with a silver edge around the petals, emitting a faint light. It was just not noticeable under the sun.

Lin Xiao’s evaluation of this rare flower was that it was a combination of understated luxury and nobility, a contradictory yet harmonious blend.

Only by carefully observing could one discover its beauty. Lin Xiao could now confidently say that this flower was definitely a rare flower.

For this unknown rare flower, with no reference information, and completely unknown uses, Lin Xiao was a bit at a loss. However, transplanting it into his spatial ring was the best course of action.

This rare flower was growing in the crevices of a stone, with all its roots embedded in the stone. Lin Xiao had to be very careful, not damaging the roots while cleaning the stone.

The slow process took two hours, but Lin Xiao finally transplanted the flower into his spatial ring. The Xirang soil in the spatial ring confirmed that this flower was indeed a rare flower.

When planted in the Xirang soil, anything that wasn’t a rare flower or strange grass would immediately turn to ashes and dissipate. This unknown rare flower showed no signs of incompatibility, blooming beautifully in the spatial ring, even more vibrant than outside.

After checking the surroundings and confirming that there were no other such rare flowers, Lin Xiao walked back to the shore along the tree.

The valley was a path surrounded by mountains, winding and twisting. After passing the large trees and the lake, Lin Xiao searched again but found nothing. He continued deeper into the valley.
