Up high in the air, the Four-Winged Eagle's turbulent cry continued to resound in all directions.
The mighty creature flapped its majestic wings with arrogance as if it was his birthright to dominate the sky.
The beast is huge, with a wingspan of over 7 meters long. Its eyes were peering sharply into the flock of blackbirds as if contemplating something, proving that it was not just another dumb bird.
After watching a while, it finally dawned on Zhu Dingxiang that the eagle was only attempting to intimidate the invaders away!
'But why?'
Qiao Qiuyue also felt that something is wrong with the situation.
__________
The Four-Winged Eagle was infuriated upon noticing that the enemies didn't heed its warning.
However, even as one of the most ferocious predators of the sky, the Four-Winged Eagle wouldn't blindly engage in a fight with these trespassers.
It knew these bastards, and they are a group of crazy lowlife!
As the flock of blackbirds itching closer and closer, the caravan group heard their cries.
Kraa* Kraa* Kraa*...
It was the cries of crows, and they numbered in thousands.
"My god!" One of the guards was startled when he heard the familiar cries.
"It's the Killer Ravens!" Qiao Qiuyue said seriously.
"Killer Ravens?" Zhu Dingxiang was surprised; he had heard from the villagers that they are very dangerous.
Individually, they are weak with only a Low-grade Mortal Rank bloodline. Most would only stay at the initial stage of Rank 1 with nothing remarkable.
(A/N: Changing from Stage 1 to Rank 1 for the cultivation of spiritual beast.)
However, the Killer Ravens were mainly feared for their almost flawless cooperation and ferocity.
They usually hunt in a group during the night and are rarely seen during the day.
With fast speed and pointed iron-like beak, the Killer Ravens can drill into the flesh of an animal who has weak defenses.
Destroy their victims from the inside!
__________
The Four-Winged Eagle no longer hesitated and skillfully maneuvers in the air, then taking the initiative to make the first attack. While maintaining a distance from these lowly intruders, its four inky black wings start to glow with each movement.
The winds started to gathers, before long, two columns of air rushing around and around in a funnel shape.
After letting out another shrill cry, the Four-Winged Eagle proceeds to release the Whirlwind toward the group of crows.
The two large pillars soared through the sky, producing sharp wailing sounds.
Its violent twisting air was rotating around each other in sync, resembling a raging wind dragon.
'Swift and Overbearing!' Zhu Dingxiang silently thought in his mind as he watches the rare confrontation.
The guards observing the battle with great attention; this is something that rarely happens.
Craa* Craa* Craa!
Facing the Whirlwind's deadly threats, Just like the ever-changing aspect of water, the group of Killer Ravens evades in a neat and orderly fashion.
However, they didn't get away unscathed.
The pulling force of the incoming Whirlwind is not to be underestimated.
The Whirlwind swept through the air unhindered; it sucks in more than a third of the Killer Ravens like they were nothing and crushing them into minced meats.
Fresh blood and flesh splattered like rainfall in the sky as the Whirlwind started losing momentum and disintegrated.
It was a slaughter!
"Unbelievable! am I seeing things?" The young guard was shocked.
"To think to famed Killer Ravens was slaughtered like trash, tsk tsk!" Captain Chu commented.
"That was impressive!"
"Truly, the title 'Ruler Of The Sky' is well deserved."
"Finally, something to boast when I get back, Hahaha..." The older man, called uncle Chen started laughing.
It was entertaining, and all as they just stood there on the sideline to watch the show. That was until the Four-Winged Eagle let out another shrill cry and make its tactical retreat.
The Four-Winged Eagle was arrogant and prideful, but it wasn't stupid. It has already exhausted a significant amount of energy to enlarge the scale of the Whirlwind.
There is no benefit in staying and fight to the death; it decisively chooses to retreat.
After seeing their fallen comrades' massacre, the rest of the Killer Ravens crazed with hatred and was ready to retaliate to the death. But before they could do anything, the bastard eagle already turned tail and fly away!
CRAA* CRAA* CRAA* CRAA* CRAA* CRAA* CRAA* CRAA* CRAA* CRAA* CRAA* CRAA*
The remaining Killer Ravens numbered more than two thousand; they let out cries of madness.
__________
"Spread out and hide under the wagon caravans! Quickly!" Qiao Qiuyue shouted sharply to warn the guard while drawing her longbow and arrows.
"Miss Qiao, you stay near me!" Zhu Dingxiang said to her in a demanding tone.
"..."
"Okay." Hesitating for a second, she agreed.
The remaining group of Killer Ravens was rushing to their location after the Four-Winged Eagle's escape. The other animals and beast in the vicinities already hide long ago when they hear the Kille Ravens' cries.
While riding on the tides of grief and madness, the Killers Ravens fearlessly plunging from the sky at a forty-five-degree angle.
They come down in waves, and just like rain arrows, their pointed beaks reeks the smell of death.
700 meters
500 meters
300 meters
100 meters
Standing next to Zhu Dingxiang, Qiao Qiuyue gripped her longbow tightly, and her face was pale. She felt as if she was walking on a thin thread that would snap at any moment.
However, she was determined not to run away. It was unknown where her courage came from, but she continued to draw the arrow on the bowstring!
Badum* Badum* Badum* Her heartbeat started to slow down, and she felt as if time itself stopped for a split second.
Thwish*
The arrow soared through the air, killing tens of the Killer Ravens. At that moment, under the intense stimulations of death, Qiao Qiuyue felt that she had grasped something, albeit very faintly.
70 meters
Suddenly the silhouette of a 15 meters giant appears out of thin air.
BOOM*!
