Green-Scaled Eagle

Biodata

Background / History

Egg Theft and Pursuit

The Green-Scaled Eagle nested on a barren cliff near Stone Village, using black wutong wood to build a nest more than ten meters across. According to the children’s account of Shi Linhu’s observations, her mate had not appeared for a long time and was presumed to have died in an accident. She left to hunt around noon each day 21.

Shi Hao, Shi Dazhuang, Skinny Monkey, and the other village children exploited her absence to steal her three jade-green eggs. They hoped to raise the hatchlings as hunting companions. Upon returning, the mother discovered the theft, caught up with the children, and pursued them through the forest, smashing trees in her path 21.

The children split up, sending Shi Hao to fetch Shi Yan while the others carried the eggs toward a narrow cave. Unable to enter, the eagle began tearing apart the entrance with her rune-lit beak, talons, and wings. Qian Renxue interrupted her by throwing a boulder at her head, then drew her away from the cave 22 23.

Submission to Shi Yan

Shi Yan arrived as the eagle was pursuing Qian Renxue and knocked her to the ground with a punch. When she attempted to flee, he teleported onto her back and repeatedly struck her head. She rolled and shook herself in midair but could not dislodge him 23.

Shi Yan offered to spare her if she became his mount, also promising to raise her offspring into true archaic ferocious birds. Although intelligent, she could not understand his speech and continued resisting. Only when his eight Grotto Heavens began draining her life essence did she stop struggling, land, and lower her head in submission 23.

Settlement in Stone Village

After the group returned to Stone Village, the Willow Deity drew the three eggs onto her altar and awakened the ancestral bloodline within one of them. Shi Yunfeng observed that its life force had increased many times over and predicted that the hatchling would surpass an ordinary Green-Scaled Eagle 26.

The mother bowed gratefully to the Willow Deity, hoping her other two eggs would receive the same blessing. Shi Yan invited her family to remain in the village, using gestures to explain that she should relocate her nest. She carried over its black wutong wood and rebuilt it inside Stone Village 26.

All three eggs completed their transformations over the following days; the documented bloodline awakening affected her offspring, not the mother herself. Shi Yan subsequently counted on the eagle accompanying the hunting party when he agreed to let Qian Renxue join them 26.

Appearance

• Size: Approximately seven to eight meters long, with a wingspan of about fifteen meters or more 21 22 23.
• Scales: Green, dragonlike scales cover her entire body and shine with a metallic sheen 21.
• Head: Sharp bone spikes protrude from her birdlike head 21.
• Eyes: Bright yellow eyes with vertically slit pupils; described as crimson during her enraged pursuit 23 26.
• Natural weapons: Steel-like wings, sharp talons, and a curved, saber-sharp beak 23.

Personality

The Green-Scaled Eagle is fiercely protective of her offspring. Their theft drives her to pursue the children relentlessly and attempt to break through their stone shelter rather than abandon the eggs 21 23.

Her initial obedience is motivated by survival, not affection: she submits only after Shi Yan begins draining her life essence. Her response to the Willow Deity reveals gratitude and concern for her children’s future, as she recognizes the value of their ancestral awakening and bows in thanks 23 26.

Heavenly Screen Bloodline Question

• The Heavenly Screen’s first live question asks which archaic Ferocious Beast primarily contributed the Green-Scaled Eagle’s bloodline 24.
• Yu Xiaogang mistakes her scales for evidence of True Dragon ancestry and wagers at maximum stakes. The correct answer is Heavenly Peng 24 25.
• His incorrect answer results in the Heavenly Screen stripping the Golden Sacred Dragon origin from Luo Sanpao 25.
