Chapter 68 Fierce Battle Against the Giant Eagle
Chapter 68 Fierce Battle Against the Giant Eagle
when!
The broad blade of the horse-slaying sword collided violently with those jet-black, iron-like wings.
Sparks flew, exploding into a dazzling but fleeting burst of fireworks under the dim moonlight.
A tremendous recoil force traveled from the hilt of the sword to the web of the hand, making the entire arm go numb.
The cement ground beneath Jiang Ming's feet cracked, sending shards of stone flying. He slid backward several meters, his shoes carving two deep furrows in the dusty rooftop.
The Gale Ironfeather Eagle was also shaken by the attack, its massive body staggering through the air in a shaky arc, letting out an angry and piercing cry.
It clearly hadn't expected that this seemingly tiny "two-legged creature" would possess the power to confront it head-on.
"That was too hasty."
Jiang Ming shook his right hand, which had become somewhat numb, and gripped the sword hilt tightly again.
I rushed in too quickly just now, and I still left that set of [Silver Knight's Full Armor] next to my bed on the second floor of the dormitory.
He was only wearing a thin sweatshirt.
Facing this Lv.12 elite monster, without the 25 points of physical defense, if you get hit by its claw, you'll probably be disemboweled on the spot.
call--
A sudden gust of wind arose.
The giant eagle adjusted its posture, its wings flapping violently, creating gusts of air that felt like tangible wind blades, stinging its cheeks.
Instead of diving down immediately, it hovered above the dormitory building, its pair of red-glowing beastly eyes fixed on Jiang Ming below, as if searching for an opening to bite him.
"Brother Jiang!"
Wang Yang and Li Bin rushed up to the rooftop, panting heavily.
Before Wang Yang could even raise the Blazing Battle Axe in his hand, the strong wind made him squint.
"Don't come any closer!"
Jiang Ming stopped him without turning his head.
This beast is very clever.
Its current hatred is all focused on itself. If Wang Yang and the others rashly intervene, it could easily disrupt the rhythm and even become the bird's weak point.
The Gale Iron Feather Eagle seemed to understand Jiang Ming's words, or rather, it realized that the two new "prey" were even weaker.
A long howl.
It folded its wings, like a black cruise missile, and swooped down toward Wang Yang, who had just appeared, with a piercing sound.
It moved so fast that it left only a blur.
"Damn it, are you treating me like I don't exist?"
Jiang Ming exerted force with his feet, his thigh muscles tensed, and he shot out like a cannonball.
Prediction.
Intercept.
Just a second before the giant eagle was about to swoop down on Wang Yang, the heavy black iron horse-slaying sword swept out with a whistling sound.
Jiang Ming used all his strength in this sword strike.
The 15 points of strength attribute were unleashed without reservation.
Bang!
The sword's spine slammed hard into the giant eagle's side.
The dull thud made my teeth ache.
The giant eagle let out a mournful cry as its massive body was flung away and crashed heavily against the parapet wall at the edge of the rooftop.
Bricks and stones shattered, and dust flew everywhere.
Several black feathers, sharp as daggers, fell off and stuck deep into the cement ground.
"Damn, this thing is really hard!"
Wang Yang was so frightened that he sat down on the ground with a thud. Looking at the few feathers stuck at his feet, cold sweat instantly soaked his back.
If it weren't for Jiang Ming's sword strike, he would probably be strung up like a skewer by now.
The giant eagle struggled to its feet from the rubble and shook its head.
Its gaze toward Jiang Ming held less contempt and more apprehension.
As the dominant species in this region, it possesses hunting instincts that are no less than those of humans.
The human in front of it possessed abnormally high strength, and the "black iron piece" in its hand could even harm it.
It's not worth it to go head-to-head.
It let out another sharp cry, its wings slapping the ground hard, and it took off into the air.
The enormous figure rapidly rose under the moonlight, flying dozens of meters high in the blink of an eye.
It did not leave, but circled twice in the sky, and finally let out a threatening cry before flying towards the school gate.
"They ran away?"
Wang Yang got up from the ground, brandished his axe and made a couple of mock chopping motions, "Luckily this bastard ran fast, otherwise we'd be having roasted chicken wings tonight!"
"It wasn't running away, it was a tactical retreat."
Jiang Ming sheathed his sword and stared solemnly in the direction where the giant eagle had disappeared.
"It tested our strengths and weaknesses."
"That beast will come back."
Li Bin pushed up his glasses, walked to the pile of rubble, and picked up a fallen black feather.
The feather felt heavy in my hand, with edges as sharp as knives; a light scratch left a white mark on the cement floor.
"This thing is as hard as refined iron."
Li Bin handed the feather to Jiang Ming, saying, "If we can collect them, they'll be top-quality materials, whether we use them to make armor or shields later."
"Let's focus on surviving first."
Jiang Ming took the feather and casually tucked it into his belt.
Although that attack forced the giant eagle back, he was also badly hurt.
His hand was split open, and blood dripped from his fingertips.
Without armor to cushion the impact, it's really too much of a stretch to withstand a monster of this level.
"Go down."
Jiang Ming turned and walked towards the stairwell. "It probably won't come back tonight, but it has already marked this building."
The motion-sensor lights in the hallway have been broken for a long time.
Only the phone in Li Bin's hand still had power to power the flashlight, which emitted a pale beam of light that swayed with his footsteps.
The air was thick with the pungent smell of blood, mixed with the stench of excrement, making one want to vomit.
When you reach the corner between the third floor and the second floor.
A suppressed sob came from the shadows.
Jiang Ming paused in his steps.
The beam of the flashlight swept across.
In the corner of the staircase, three girls were huddled together.
They were wearing tattered pajamas, with large areas of skin exposed, covered with shocking scratches and lacerations.
One of the girls had her abdomen slashed open by wolf claws. Although she had received simple bandaging, dark red blood continued to seep out, staining half of her body red.
Seeing Jiang Ming and the others come down, the three girls clung to them like they were seeing a lifeline and struggled to get up.
"Classmate..."
The girl with the abdominal injury stretched out a blood-stained hand and grabbed Jiang Ming's trouser leg tightly.
Her lips were pale and cracked, and her voice was as weak as a dying cat.
"Please... save us..."
"Even a little anti-inflammatory medicine would be appreciated... My wound is burning hot... I feel like I'm going to die..."
The other two girls also started crying and begging.
"We don't want to die...please..."
"We'll do anything to save us..."
Wang Yang and Li Bin stopped and looked at the scene, a hint of reluctance flashing across their faces.
We were all classmates, and we used to eat in the same cafeteria, but today it's turned out like this.
This huge disparity is shocking to everyone.
Jiang Ming lowered his head.
Looking at the hand gripping his trouser leg.
The nails were full of black dirt and blood, and the knuckles were white from excessive force.
A panel appeared in front of him:
[Target condition: Severe infection, excessive blood loss, organ failure.]
Survival chance: <5%.
