“YES! It’s a success, retreat!” Lin Jie saw that he finally succeeded. He leaped backward and activated Wind Walk to escape quickly.
Less than one second later, a gigantic growl sounded from the cave and rocks crumbled and fell. There was flying debris, and they crashed onto Lin Jie’s back, dealing a series of damage.
At the cave’s entrance, the beast pierced its beak into the walls with overwhelming wrath. It had a strong desire to swallow the murderer of its child whole.
Lin Jie’s health points were depleted rather quickly by the flying rocks and debris. He felt the commotion behind calmed down before turning back. The three-meter-tall entrance was fully blocked, and the beast was pecking at every spot in search of Lin Jie. Its size was imaginable when its beak was already three-meters-wide.
“Army of the Dead, go forth!” Lin Jie summoned out the Flesh Eater Ghouls but did not venture forward recklessly.
The Flesh Eaters trudged forward, and the moment they were in proximity with the beast, the latter let out a piercing sonic wave. The Flesh Eaters turned into dust immediately. Lin Jie was stunned, and he took in a deep breath as he glanced at the battle prompt message.
—Battle prompt message: Blood Eagle has used [Dynamite Sonic Waves]. It deals 60% Armor Penetration and one Critical Hit to enemies within the sector range.
An explosive group attack! Lin Jie wiped away his cold sweat, as his Identify skill failed to locate any information amongst that situation just now.
Lin Jie entered the forum to search for more information regarding the Blood Eagle. Their ancestors did not possess royal blood, but instead, they were just normal flying vertebrates. However, they transformed into Blood Eagles after consuming Heroes’ blood, and they continued to survive.
The Blood Eagle’s body was indestructible, and their Blood Vigor would transform into Blood Armor as protection during battles. It was even capable of releasing blood for assassination purposes during critical instances. A majority of Blood Eagles possessed Spirit Suppression skills, due to the inheritance of the Heroes’ bloodline.
‘In other words, Blood Eagles are capable of long-distance attacks, and there’s a high probability that the beak would be attacking.’ Lin Jie eyed the tough-looking beak as he felt a sense of danger. For security, he needed some blockage!
‘Wait a second…’
Lin Jie pondered, blockage? Didn’t he already have it? He waved his right hand, and the Ice Clone appeared, looking calmly at him. This clone was an elemental mass and lacked a cerebrum, meaning spirit and sonic waves skills were ineffective against it. Hence, it would serve as resistance!
Upon Lin Jie’s commands, the Ice Clone fended in the middle with one knee on the ground and held Lin Jie’s Shield of Courage.
“Wind Rider Blade Aura Executioner!”
-837!
The beak was the most durable part of the Blood Eagle, and Broken Blade only left a faint mark on it. It propped its jaw wide, and immense pressure descended as the surrounding atmosphere swelled up. The alluvial spirit layers flushed towards Lin Jie all of a sudden.
However, when the layers collided with the Ice Clone, it failed to move it at all.
“Clone, go forth!” Lin Jie instructed his duplicate to enter battle mode while staying at the outer-ring of the spiritual attacks. He was extremely vulnerable to those attacks, unlike the clone! Although the beast’s beak was capable of dealing considerable attacks, the entrance was jammed. Coupled with the Blade Aura that the clone was exuding from 10 yards away, Lin Jie wasn’t afraid of getting affected.
The deserted island was made up of volcanic rocks that were forged by the magma over the years. The rocks were adamantine, and Broken Blade was unable to leave a mark on it. Even though the Blood Eagle was extremely powerful, it was also unable to break through.
Kaboom— Kaboom—
The Blood Eagle’s intense struggles affected Lin Jie greatly as well. The flying debris and falling volcanic dust soon accumulated to a thick layer. If this continued, it would be sufficient to burn Lin Jie beneath. However, Lin Jie wasn’t affected by this, and he just had to devour all of it. Although it wouldn’t taste great and didn’t contain much ‘nutrition’, it was still better than getting buried alive.
‘This deserted cave is pretty warm inside. It seems like there are interesting things to explore. In the previous life, many people discovered historical remains, natural souls, heroes’ skeletons after venturing at sea. The ocean is vast and boundless, and it has probably buried tons of treasures and history,’ thought Lin Jie.
The New Age treated all players equally, and everyone was able to grab opportunities to grow strong with their abilities and bravery.
This was the adventure.
Adventures would not be disrupted by any political means, and everyone could become an expert. This was the charm of The New Age.
As time went by, the beast’s struggles decreased gradually. With its intelligence, it probably realized that there was no point in blindly attacking.
According to Lin Jie’s research, this Boss was at least a Level 80 Overlord! These types of monsters were pretty smart, and if Lin Jie hadn’t destroyed its egg, it would have flown away.
