Chapter 62 Gale Iron Feather Eagle
Chapter 62 Gale Iron Feather Eagle
"Take your time."
Jiang Ming did not lose his composure because of Zhao Yanzhi's panic.
His voice acted like a tranquilizer, calming Zhao Yanzhi's rapid breathing slightly.
"The student council... and Wei Yuan and his gang."
Zhao Yanzhi swallowed hard, pointed in the direction of the school gate, his finger still trembling slightly.
"Weren't they just looking for food near the school gate? They ran into something huge!"
"My men were originally with them when they went to the school gate area, but they saw a huge, strange bird. It would swoop down and attack anyone who approached the school gate area."
"Wei Yuan's men suffered heavy losses, and the remaining men returned but dared not approach, but that thing was still hovering in the sky above the school gate."
Jiang Ming raised an eyebrow slightly.
At the school gate?
This is like fighting the gatekeeper boss.
If that area is blocked, then everyone in the school will have to move to the back.
"Old Wang, Old Li."
Jiang Ming turned around and quickly assigned tasks.
"Take these wolf meat and pelts back and leave them for now. I'll go check around the school gate."
"Brother Jiang, I'm going too!"
As Wang Yang spoke, his expression showed a hint of eagerness.
"You stay."
Jiang Ming refused very decisively.
"Judging from his description, that giant eagle is beyond your reach with your axe; going there would be pointless."
After saying that, he glanced at Zhao Yanzhi, who was still panting.
"Take me to see it."
……
The main road leading to the school gate was now in complete chaos.
The once smooth asphalt road is now covered with cracks and potholes, as if it had experienced a small earthquake.
The streetlights along the roadside were crooked and twisted, some even uprooted.
"Run! It's coming down again!"
"Help! My leg!"
The crowd in front surged back, crying and screaming.
Most of these people were holding wooden sticks or table legs, some even empty-handed, their faces filled with extreme fear.
They were the "hunting team" that Wei Yuan had led out.
Just half an hour ago, this group of people were still aggressively trying to explore the primeval forest outside the school and gather useful food and materials.
Now they resemble a flock of sheep chased into a sheepfold by wolves.
Jiang Ming went against the flow of people.
The knight's full suit of silver-white armor reflected a cold luster in the setting sun, like a rock standing firm in a torrent.
Several students who were panicking and running for their lives almost bumped into him, but were pushed away by the hard arm armor and fell to the ground groaning.
"Make way."
Jiang Ming didn't lower his head; he just kept talking as he walked forward.
He hadn't expected these people to still be gathered here watching that giant eagle; they were truly fearless.
The crowd behind Jiang Ming was so frightened by his actions that they scrambled to make way for him.
Zhao Yanzhi followed closely behind Jiang Ming, clutching the composite bow in his hand, and watching the sky warily.
"Jiang Ming, he's just ahead."
Zhao Yanzhi suddenly pointed to a direction in the sky and stopped, no longer following Jiang Ming.
"Once you cross that flower bed, you'll be in its attack range."
Jiang Ming stopped in his tracks.
Instead of rushing forward, he used an overturned school bus as cover and leaned out halfway to look towards the school gate.
The once magnificent school gate is now half collapsed.
At the top of the last remaining massive stone pillar, a terrifyingly large creature crouched.
It was a giant eagle.
Its wingspan is estimated to be over five meters, and its entire body is covered with feathers that look like they were cast from black iron.
The edge of each feather gleamed with a cold metallic light, as if it were made of countless sharp daggers pieced together.
Its claws, a dark gold color, were deeply embedded in the concrete of the stone pillar, leaving several shocking cracks.
【Swift Ironfeather Eagle (Lv.12 - Elite)】
[Status: Territory on Alert]
【Characteristics: Iron Feather, Gale Control, Gale Cage】
Jiang Ming's heart skipped a beat.
A level 12 elite monster.
The two goblin shamans before were also elite monsters, but they weren't as high level as this giant eagle.
"That's a huge guy."
Jiang Ming shrank back and leaned against the cold chassis of the school bus, taking a moment to catch his breath.
Zhao Yanzhi nodded, his face pale.
"Those guys thought it wouldn't attack, but it didn't even get close to the school gate before it..."
He hadn't finished speaking.
A sharp, piercing sound suddenly came from overhead.
The sound was sharp and piercing, like the sonic boom produced by a jet plane flying low overhead.
"Get down!"
Jiang Ming grabbed Zhao Yanzhi's shoulder and pressed him firmly to the ground.
"boom--!"
A terrifying shockwave exploded thirty meters ahead.
The gale, carrying pebbles and dust, lashed against Jiang Ming's armor.
When the smoke and dust cleared.
Jiang Ming peeked out again.
Just now, there were two boys who had tried to climb over to pick up the supplies that had fallen there.
Now only two large pits remain there.
Those two living people have disappeared.
Only a pool of dark red blood on the ground proves that they once existed.
Between the two pools of blood, two black feathers were stuck.
The feathers were about a meter long, like a javelin, deeply embedded in the asphalt road, with the tip still trembling slightly.
"This...this is a feather?"
Zhao Yanzhi stared at the two murder weapons, his teeth chattering.
Can a mere shed feather have such power?
If you were to get scratched by its claws, wouldn't it be able to tear apart even a tank?
"This is its skill, Iron Feathers," Jiang Ming concluded after observing. "This beast uses feathers like cannonballs."
Jiang Ming looked at the feather, and the item information appeared on his retina.
【Swift Iron Feather (Material): Feathers as hard as iron, used to forge high-quality weapons.】
nice one.
Normally, Jiang Ming would definitely find a way to hide these materials.
But now, he doesn't even dare to stretch out his hand.
Because the Gale Iron Feather Eagle was still circling in the sky.
It did not immediately return to the stone pillar, but instead drew circles in the air, its sharp eagle eyes fixed on every movement below.
It's like a high and mighty monarch surveying his territory.
Any ant that dares to step into this forbidden zone will suffer its thunderous wrath.
"Jiang Ming...look over there."
Zhao Yanzhi suddenly tugged at Jiang Ming's cloak and pointed to the ruins of the security room on the right side of the school gate.
There were several corpses lying there.
Judging from their clothes, they should be from the student council.
Next to the body, several bulging backpacks were scattered around.
Those were supplies that Wei Yuan and his friends had looted from outside the school.
"That bastard Wei Yuan abandoned all supplies just to save his own life."
Zhao Yanzhi gritted his teeth, clearly finding this behavior utterly despicable.
"If he had dared to stop and pick up his bag, he would be the one lying there right now," Jiang Ming sneered.
