As the rock sheep reached the summit, the high-altitude camera lens turned to focus on it.
At this moment, everyone inexplicably felt that this seemingly foolishly cute creature had gained a bit of flair.
Especially when it raised its head high at the cliff's peak.
However, to the audience, its expression held a hint of smugness.
"As expected of a rock sheep, its climbing speed is incredible. But what's with that proud look?"
"Of course, it's proud. After all, it beat over a dozen human competitors."
"Hahaha, and it almost fed those contestants immortality pills."
...
While everyone was discussing, the rock sheep competitor turned and began to nibble on the grass and shrubs beside it.
It was already rewarding itself before receiving any prize.
By the time it had grazed the surrounding grass bare, the first human competitor finally, leisurely, climbed up.
As soon as he reached the cliff's summit, he saw the rock sheep's long face.
To his surprise, when the rock sheep saw him, it even nodded at him, as if asking if he wanted a bite.
Simultaneously, other human competitors also began to reach the summit one after another.
Once all competitors had reached the top, the competition officially concluded.
Although the contestants lost to a rock sheep in this round, they were all convinced of their defeat.
There was no other way; challenging someone's inherent ability with their hobby, they couldn't complain about losing.
Let alone practicing for a few more years, even if they trained their entire lives, their climbing speed would never match that of the rock sheep.
Immediately, these human competitors, with excited expressions, posed for photos with the rock sheep.
To have a photo with a true king of the cliffs on such a precipice was an opportunity they clearly wouldn't have had without this competition.
However, after the photo session, everyone suddenly realized a problem.
"Right, the human competitors will just slide down using the safety ropes. What about the rock sheep?"
"Yeah, we can't exactly ask it to go around the other side of the cliff, can we?"
"How about the human competitors hold it and rappel down together?"
"That depends on whether the little sheep is willing."
This issue was obviously not just on the minds of the audience, but also on those of the organizing committee. A staff member immediately asked Yang Lin, who was nearby,
"Director Yang, do you need us to help get the rock sheep competitor down?"
However, Yang Lin shook his head at this question.
"No need. We have employees who will be responsible for getting it down."
"Employees?"
"Are there still employees from your park up on the mountain?" the organizing committee staff member asked with curiosity.
"I didn't say on the mountain."
As the two were conversing, a black speck suddenly appeared in the sky above the cliff.
At first, everyone didn't think anything was amiss.
But as the black speck grew closer, soon everyone could no longer remain calm.
Because that black speck seemed a bit too large.
"What the heck is that in the sky? A drone?"
"It looks like a big bird."
"What kind of bird is that big? Are there any other raptors around here?"
"It's quite normal, isn't it? Guangxi's wildlife resources are among the top in the entire Longguo. It's normal to have such a large bird."
"Something's not right, that big bird seems to be coming down."
The next second, under the gaze of countless eyes, a large bird comparable in size to a small helicopter swooped straight towards the cliff.
As it neared the camera lens, everyone finally realized it was a giant eagle with golden-brown feathers and a white crown on its head.
Even from the camera's perspective, everyone felt an unprecedented sense of impact, let alone the human competitors who were facing this eagle directly on site.
Almost instantly, they prostrated themselves on the ground.
With such a massive eagle, they had no doubt they would be snatched away like chicks if they were targeted.
But soon they realized that this big bird didn't seem to be after them.
The next second, amidst everyone's exclamations, the giant eagle grabbed the rock sheep competitor's clothes and, in front of the entire nation's audience, lifted the rock sheep competitor off the ground.
At this moment, everyone was stunned.
The rock sheep competitor, who had just won the championship, was so quickly out of the picture?
This was the thought of most people at this moment.
Of course, some local Ningnan audiences didn't think so. After the initial panic, they recognized the identity of the giant eagle almost immediately.
Yet, even so, they didn't immediately tell the out-of-town audiences the truth. Instead, they quickly pretended to be as surprised as the other audiences.
They even acted more exaggeratedly than the out-of-town audiences.
"Holy cow, is the rock sheep competitor really gone? By the way, what level is this big bird? Can it handle it?"
"Everyone, don't panic. This is a sparrow from the south. Friends from the north, don't be surprised."
"That's right, birds of this size are very common in our Ningnan. I have one at home, and I ride it to school every day."
"It's fine, the rock sheep competitor should be more careful in its next life."
"This incident tells us that it's best not to climb too high if you have nothing to do. Let's pray for the rock sheep competitor."
"I heard that raptors like to drop their prey from high altitudes before eating them. Is that true?"
"It seems so. If that's the case, then the rock sheep competitor is even more unfortunate."
Listening to the discussions of these local Ningnan tourists, the faces of the out-of-town tourists turned pale with fright.
And just as most of the audience thought the rock sheep competitor was truly gone, the giant eagle suddenly began to descend towards the ground.
When it neared the ground, it suddenly loosened its grip.
Instantly, the rock sheep competitor landed on the ground in an extremely stable posture.
Seeing this dramatic scene, the unsuspecting tourists' mouths gaped open.
On the contrary, the rock sheep, which had been dropped, acted as if it were perfectly fine and bleated twice towards the giant eagle in the sky.
Although everyone didn't understand, it felt as if it were expressing thanks.
While everyone was still in a daze, the giant eagle that had just placed the rock sheep on the ground flew towards the outdoor arena.
Its speed was so fast that in the blink of an eye, the audience who could only see its true appearance through the screen could now see it with the naked eye.
"Is it going to randomly snatch a mischievous child?"
Just as this thought crossed everyone's mind, a figure actively moved towards the giant eagle.
The next second, under the gaze of everyone present, this golden eagle with a wingspan of two to three meters landed directly on the figure's shoulder.
Vaguely, everyone could see the figure leaning to one side.
ps: Good morning, brothers.
