Chapter 2956
It was evident that these individuals were all wearing identical outfits, and high above them, three Bloodthirsty Thunder Eagles circled ominously.
If Kai had been present, he would have instantly recognized that these people belonged to the Ning family!
At the forefront was none other than Ning Cai Chen, flanked by his son, Ning Can!
At that moment, lightning flickered continuously around Ning Cai Chen’s figure.
“Dad, the Heavenly Lightning Fruit is truly remarkable! After you absorbed and refined one, you astonishingly reached the peak of the ninth grade in the Combined Body realm, and you’re on the verge of breaking into the Transmigration stage,” Ning Can exclaimed.
“You even harness the power of thunder and lightning; you’ve managed to tame three Bloodthirsty Thunder Eagles! That’s impressive!”
“However, our ancestor’s health remains a concern. Even after consuming the Heavenly Lightning Fruit, his recovery seems less than ideal,” he added.
Ning Can continued to encourage his father with pats on the back.
“But if we can locate the treasure, I’ve heard there’s an ice pellet inside. This ice pellet is known to reshape the body and bones, and if we give it to our ancestor, it might restore his health,” Ning Cai Chen elaborated.
Ning Cai Chen had previously gathered two Heavenly Thunder Fruits from the Thunder Eagle Cave, intending to present them to the Ning Family’s Old Ancestor. However, he couldn’t resist the temptation and secretly refined one for himself!
This very Heavenly Thunder Fruit propelled Ning Cai Chen from the eighth rank of the Harmony Realm to the peak of the ninth rank, just one step away from the Transmigration Realm!
If Kai had known that one Heavenly Thunder Fruit could elevate Ning Cai Chen so dramatically, he would have likely been infuriated!
While Kai had absorbed both the Ice Soul Fragment and the Heavenly Thunder Fruit, he had only managed to progress from the third to the fourth rank of the Harmony Realm!
Ning Cai Chen had leveraged the lightning power from the Heavenly Thunder Fruit to stealthily venture into the Eagle King’s Cave and capture a few Bloodthirsty Thunder Eagles before the Thunder Eagle King returned.
Without the thunderbolt power provided by the Heavenly Thunder Fruit, subduing those Bloodthirsty Thunder Eagles would have been impossible for him!
“Dad, look over there! It’s an Ice Bear Monster!” Ning Can shouted excitedly.
This was Ning Can’s first venture into the Far North, and encountering an ice bear monster thrilled him!
Just as he was about to lead his group forward to hunt the Ice Bear Monster, Ning Cai Chen halted him and emitted a piercing sound.
Hearing this signal, the three Bloodthirsty Thunder Eagles swooped down towards the Ice Bear Monster!
Ning Cai Chen intended for the Bloodthirsty Thunder Eagles to take down the Ice Bear Monster, conserving their strength for the treasure hunt ahead.
Recognizing the danger, the Ice Bear Monster let out a roar and sprinted away!
The three Bloodthirsty Thunder Eagles chased after it.
Interestingly, the direction the Ice Bear Monster fled was toward Kai and his companions!
“Mr. Chen, look! What’s that flying in the sky?” Gao Qisheng suddenly pointed at something in the distance, directing Kai’s attention.
In the frigid north, where flying birds were a rare sight, Kai quickly focused on the sky and realized a Bloodthirsty Thunder Eagle was soaring above.
Upon this revelation, Kai’s expression darkened!
At that moment, Ji Yun and Old Sun also spotted the Bloodthirsty Thunder Eagle.
“Could it be the Thunder Eagle King has arrived? This spells trouble…”
“This is bad! If the Thunder Eagle King is around, we need to make a hasty retreat!” several of them speculated, fearing the worst.
Indeed, Kai shared the suspicion that the Thunder Eagle King was nearby, as only he could command such Bloodthirsty Thunder Eagles.
However, Kai soon sensed that something was amiss!
