Unexpected Death

The Black Eagle King let out a long cry, and its jet-black feathers gleamed with a metallic sheen.

Clang! The Wood Poison Javelin struck its wing precisely, producing a metallic clang.

The Black Eagle King's judgment was quite accurate.

At this distance, it certainly couldn't dodge the attack launched by Red, and could only rely on this enhanced defense to withstand it.

It did indeed block the javelin that was thrust at it.

But the next second, an unbearable, excruciating pain came from the wings.

The Wood Poison Javelin failed to pierce the Black Eagle King's defenses.

However, Red's own skills, that deathly aura of withering power, directly invaded Eagle King's body with this attack.

Where the attack hit, the glossy black feathers instantly wrinkled, and the body beneath the feathers emitted a putrid stench.

Unable to take off—he couldn't escape today! The Black Eagle King instantly realized his predicament.

Before it could make another move, Red, having already secured its victory, used the force of the javelin to turn in mid-air, its legs drawing a swift and powerful arc, and delivered a fierce kick to Eagle King's head.

Thump! The Giant Eagle's massive body crashed to the ground, smashing its original nest, and scattering dry branches everywhere.

The Black Eagle King had a vacant look in his eyes.

It felt suffocated and dulled by the kick.

But after falling into the ruins of the nest, his dazed gaze saw an even more desperate scene.

Outside the nest, the human male frequently drew his bow and shot arrows, each time releasing an arrow that pierced the head of a Black Eagle.

Moreover, Linsey specifically targeted the Black Eagle hawks that tried to flee.

These intelligent Devil Beast, even without any verbal threats, realized the reality that 'taking off = death' and quickly gave up trying to escape, remaining on the platform at the top of the stone pillar like little chicks.

"Hey, why don't you try to fight back?"

At that moment, a question came from above, emanating from Hong.

The Black Eagle King twisted his neck, and the figure of the human female was right in front of him, with Wood Poison Javelin, exuding an aura of death, resting against her head.

The girl smiled dismissively:

"I didn't kick you to death, let's play some more."

This arrogant attitude undoubtedly angered the Black Eagle King.

It struggled to flap its wings to get up, and its sharp beak tried to peck at the red creature.

But this is just the beginning.

Red then raised the Wood Poison Javelin and lashed it fiercely like an iron whip.

The Black Eagle King let out a mournful cry.

Its hardened feathers protect its skin and flesh like armor.

But this blow directly shattered its light yet sturdy bones, completely draining the Giant Eagle's strength from its body.

At the same time, Linsey, who had subdued the other Black Eagle, also came over.

He reached out and patted the Black Eagle King on the head. "Can you still talk?"

"I have some questions for you."

The Black Eagle King's eyes were filled with rage. "Humans, you are delusional..."

Linsey interrupted her directly, saying, "If I'm in a bad mood, all the Black Eagle here today will die."

"..."

The Black Eagle King fell silent instantly.

It could see the murderous intent in the eyes of the human in front of it, and knew that it had no chance of surviving today.

If given a choice, it can abandon its kind and flee.

But given that death is inevitable no matter what, the responsibility of the tribal leader begins to take precedence.

"..."

Meanwhile, Linsey calmly awaited the Black Eagle King's choice.

He had made up his mind.

Today, no matter what, the Black Eagle King is definitely going to die.

The other party was, after all, Devil Beast that had come into contact with Dragon Beast, and was not on the same level as those rabble. Once the other party recovered, they should find a way to inform the Dragon Beast of what had happened here.

It was a huge disaster for Linsey!

The King of Shadows finally chose to yield. It lowered its angry head, and its tense body released its power. "I understand."

"Human, what do you want me to do?"

Linsey nodded in satisfaction. "You just need to tell me the relevant information about that Dragon Beast."

The Black Eagle King spoke with surprise:

"You want to escape this world? Give up, human, you can't do it!"

I actually want to solve it.

Linsey curled his lip, but he had no intention of explaining things to the enemy, so he simply urged in a cold tone:

"Just tell me what you know."

"..."

The Black Eagle King was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke, "The Dragon Beast was originally a lone beast in the Underground World of the Thousand Mountains Stone Forest. More than three hundred years ago, it became Fifth Stage Devil Beast and has been roaming and hunting in the Underground World ever since."

"!"

Linsey's pupils contracted, and her heart raced.

An unexpected gain! Whether in the Expedition Team's records or the information he had previously gathered, the Dragon Beast was always described as a terrifying monster that fell from the sky.

But the Black Eagle King before them clearly stated the origin of the Dragon Beast!

Linsey was overwhelmed with mixed feelings.

The Tree Mother and the Fairy Girl might know something.

But those two guys, one was insane and the other was a die-hard loyalist, so it was impossible for them to force information out of them.

But who could have guessed what would happen after entering the Thousand Mountains Stone Forest?

Because of an unexpected encounter, the Devil Beast that came to hunt was able to provide such information!

Moreover, it became Fifth Stage Devil Beast three hundred years ago...

"Are you kidding me?" Linsey retorted directly. "The advancement speed of Devil Beast has always been relatively slow. If it had just reached the Fifth Stage three hundred years ago, how could it possibly be at the Seventh Stage now, or even about to advance to the Eighth Stage!"

The Black Eagle King replied unwillingly:

"Human, I accept my fate."

"Although I don't know how the Dragon Beast managed to do such a thing, everything I said is true."

"I have no reason to lie to two men who are on the verge of death!"

The Black Eagle King's attitude was clear.

If Linsey and Red were preparing to smuggle themselves out of Black Mountain and escape this world.

They would undoubtedly be discovered and killed by the Dragon Beast.

In his eyes, they were just two guys rushing to commit suicide.

Linsey did not comment on this, but simply questioned the accuracy of Black Eagle King's information, "If you want to prove you're not lying, then give us more details so we can determine the truth."

He didn't care what the Devil Beast in front of him thought of him.

I just want to get more information about Dragon Beast.

Faced with Linsey's continued questioning, the Black Eagle King shook his head and, keeping his promise, continued, "Fly east for half a month, and you'll find a huge depression on the ground. That's where it was 100 years ago... Screech!"

Just then, the Black Eagle King let out a long howl.

Its body temperature then dropped at an alarming rate, and in less than a breath, its entire body turned into a cold, hard lump.

"Ah?"

Linsey had no idea this would happen.

He carefully reached out and touched it, and extracted a Black Hawk Heart.

Linsey realized one thing—this was a source of material.

The Black Eagle King is dead.
