Chapter 204: An Unexpected Death
Chapter 204: An Unexpected Death
"Squeak!"
The Black Eagle King let out a long cry, its feathers as black as ink shimmering with a metallic luster.
Clang!
The Poisoned Wooden Spear struck its wing with pinpoint accuracy, yet the sound of metal clashing against metal rang out.
The Black Eagle King's judgment was spot on.
At this distance, it knew it couldn't dodge Red's attack, so it could only rely on its reinforced defense to endure the blow.
It successfully blocked the incoming spear.
But in the next moment, an unbearable pain surged through its wing.
The spear hadn't pierced the Black Eagle King's defense.
However, Red's skill, accompanied by the withering energy of death, had directly affected the Eagle King with this attack.
At the point of impact, the glossy black feathers instantly wrinkled, and a putrid odor emanated from beneath the feathers.
Unable to take flight—there's no escape today! The Black Eagle King instantly realized its predicament.
But before it could react, Red, having struck with the spear, spun in the air, her legs tracing a swift and fierce arc, and kicked the Eagle King's head with all her might.
Thud!
The massive eagle's body crashed to the ground, shattering its original nest, and dried branches flew everywhere.
The Black Eagle King's eyes were fixed in a daze.
The kick had left it gasping for breath.
However, as it lay amidst the ruins of its nest, its hazy gaze caught sight of an even more despairing scene.
Beyond the nest, the male human was shooting arrows, each release finding its mark in the head of a Black Eagle.
And Lindsey specifically targeted those that attempted to take flight.
These beasts, possessing a degree of intelligence, realized the reality of 'flying equals death' without needing to be told, and soon gave up on escape, remaining on the platform atop the stone pillar like little chicks.
"Why not put up a little fight?" Red asked from above, her tone laced with disdain.
The Black Eagle King twisted its neck, and the female human stood before it, the Poisoned Wooden Spear aimed at its head, exuding a deathly aura.
The girl smirked:
"I could have killed you with that kick, but I'm feeling playful."
This arrogant attitude undoubtedly infuriated the Black Eagle King.
It struggled to flap its wings to rise, and its sharp beak attempted to peck at Red.
But just as it showed signs of resistance...
Red raised the Poisoned Wooden Spear and lashed it like a whip across the eagle's body.
"Squeak!"
The Black Eagle King let out a mournful cry.
Its hardened feathers acted like armor, protecting its flesh.
But this strike shattered the lightweight yet sturdy bones within its body, and all strength to move was drained from the giant eagle.
Meanwhile, Lindsey, having subdued the other Black Eagles, approached.
He patted the Black Eagle King's head and asked, "Can you still speak?"
"I have some questions for you," the Black Eagle King said.
Anger filled the Eagle King's eyes: "Humans, you dare..."
Lindsey cut him off, "If I'm not in the mood, every Black Eagle here will die today."
The Black Eagle King fell silent.
It could see the murderous intent in the human's eyes and knew that today, no matter what, it wouldn't survive.
Given a choice, it could abandon its kin and flee.
But faced with certain death, the responsibility of a leader began to take precedence.
Lindsey, for his part, waited calmly for the Black Eagle King's decision.
He had made up his mind.
Today, no matter what, this Black Eagle King would die.
The opponent was, after all, a Monstercraft that had come into contact with the Dragon Beast, and was of a different caliber than the rabble. As long as the opponent recovered its condition, it would find a way to inform the Dragon Beast of what happened here.
For Lindsay, this was a huge disaster!
The King of Shadows eventually chose to surrender, lowering its angry head, and its tense body also relaxed its power:
"I understand."
"Human, what do you want me to do?"
Lindsay nodded in satisfaction:
"You just need to tell me about that Dragon Beast."
The King of Black Eagles was astonished:
"You want to escape this world? Give up, human, it's impossible!"
I actually wanted to go and deal with it.
Lindsay pursed his lips, but he didn't have the patience to explain to his enemy, so he just coldly urged:
"You just need to tell me what you know."
"..."
The King of Black Eagles fell silent for a moment, then slowly said:
"The Dragon Beast was originally a solitary beast in the underground world of the Thousand Mountain Stone Forest. Over three hundred years ago, it became a Phase Five Monstercraft and has been roaming and hunting in the underground world."
"!"
Lindsay's pupils constricted, and his heart raced.
An unexpected harvest!
Whether it was the records of the expedition team or the information he had gathered before, the descriptions of the Dragon Beast had always been of a monster that descended from the sky.
But the King of Black Eagles before him clearly stated the origin of the Dragon Beast!
Lindsay's heart was filled with mixed emotions for a moment.
The Tree Mother and the Fairy Maiden might know something.
But those two individuals, one gone mad and the other blindly loyal, would never reveal any information.
But who could have guessed what would happen after entering the Thousand Mountain Stone Forest.
Due to an unexpected encounter, the Monstercraft that came to hunt ended up providing such information!
And it became a Phase Five Monstercraft three hundred years ago...
"You must be joking." Lindsay directly refuted, "Monstercraft usually advance at a slower pace. If it just reached Phase Five three hundred years ago, how could it possibly be at Phase Seven now, or even about to advance to Phase Eight?"
The King of Black Eagles, however, stubbornly replied:
"Human, I accept my fate."
"Although I don't know how the Dragon Beast achieved this, I can confirm it."
"Facing two individuals on a path of certain death, I have no reason to deceive them!"
The attitude of the King of Black Eagles was clear.
If Lindsay and Red were planning to sneak out of Black Mountain and escape this world, they would undoubtedly be discovered and killed by the Dragon Beast.
In its eyes, they were just two individuals rushing to their deaths.
Lindsay didn't comment on this, but simply questioned the accuracy of the King of Black Eagles' information:
"If you want to prove that you're not lying, then provide more details so we can verify the truth."
He didn't care about the Monstercraft's opinion of him.
He just wanted to obtain more information about the Dragon Beast.
Facing Lindsay's continued questioning, the King of Black Eagles shook its head and, keeping its promise, continued:
"Flying half a month to the east from here, there's a huge depression on the ground. That's where..."
At this moment, the King of Black Eagles suddenly let out a long whistle.
Before the next breath, its entire body turned into a cold, hard lump.
"Ah?"
Lindsay had not expected such a sudden change.
He cautiously reached out and touched it, and he extracted a Black Eagle Heart.
Lindsay realized a fact - this was a source of materials.
The King of Black Eagles was dead.
