“YES! It’s a success, retreat!” Lin Jie saw that he finally succeeded. He leaped backward and activated Wind Walk to escape quickly.

Less than one second later, a gigantic growl sounded from the cave and rocks crumbled and fell. There was flying debris, and they crashed onto Lin Jie’s back, dealing a series of damage.

At the cave’s entrance, the beast pierced its beak into the walls with overwhelming wrath. It had a strong desire to swallow the murderer of its child whole.

Lin Jie’s health points were depleted rather quickly by the flying rocks and debris. He felt the commotion behind calmed down before turning back. The three-meter-tall entrance was fully blocked, and the beast was pecking at every spot in search of Lin Jie. Its size was imaginable when its beak was already three-meters-wide.

“Army of the Dead, go forth!” Lin Jie summoned out the Flesh Eater Ghouls but did not venture forward recklessly.

The Flesh Eaters trudged forward, and the moment they were in proximity with the beast, the latter let out a piercing sonic wave. The Flesh Eaters turned into dust immediately. Lin Jie was stunned, and he took in a deep breath as he glanced at the battle prompt message.

—Battle prompt message: Blood Eagle has used [Dynamite Sonic Waves]. It deals 60% Armor Penetration and one Critical Hit to enemies within the sector range.

An explosive group attack! Lin Jie wiped away his cold sweat, as his Identify skill failed to locate any information amongst that situation just now.

Lin Jie entered the forum to search for more information regarding the Blood Eagle. Their ancestors did not possess royal blood, but instead, they were just normal flying vertebrates. However, they transformed into Blood Eagles after consuming Heroes’ blood, and they continued to survive.

The Blood Eagle’s body was indestructible, and their Blood Vigor would transform into Blood Armor as protection during battles. It was even capable of releasing blood for assassination purposes during critical instances. A majority of Blood Eagles possessed Spirit Suppression skills, due to the inheritance of the Heroes’ bloodline.

‘In other words, Blood Eagles are capable of long-distance attacks, and there’s a high probability that the beak would be attacking.’ Lin Jie eyed the tough-looking beak as he felt a sense of danger. For security, he needed some blockage!

‘Wait a second...’

Lin Jie pondered, blockage? Didn’t he already have it? He waved his right hand, and the Ice Clone appeared, looking calmly at him. This clone was an elemental mass and lacked a cerebrum, meaning spirit and sonic waves skills were ineffective against it. Hence, it would serve as resistance!

Upon Lin Jie’s commands, the Ice Clone fended in the middle with one knee on the ground and held Lin Jie’s Shield of Courage.

“Wind Rider Blade Aura Executioner!”

-837!

The beak was the most durable part of the Blood Eagle, and Broken Blade only left a faint mark on it. It propped its jaw wide, and immense pressure descended as the surrounding atmosphere swelled up. The alluvial spirit layers flushed towards Lin Jie all of a sudden.

However, when the layers collided with the Ice Clone, it failed to move it at all.

“Clone, go forth!” Lin Jie instructed his duplicate to enter battle mode while staying at the outer-ring of the spiritual attacks. He was extremely vulnerable to those attacks, unlike the clone! Although the beast’s beak was capable of dealing considerable attacks, the entrance was jammed. Coupled with the Blade Aura that the clone was exuding from 10 yards away, Lin Jie wasn’t afraid of getting affected.

The deserted island was made up of volcanic rocks that were forged by the magma over the years. The rocks were adamantine, and Broken Blade was unable to leave a mark on it. Even though the Blood Eagle was extremely powerful, it was also unable to break through.

Kaboom— Kaboom—

The Blood Eagle’s intense struggles affected Lin Jie greatly as well. The flying debris and falling volcanic dust soon accumulated to a thick layer. If this continued, it would be sufficient to burn Lin Jie beneath. However, Lin Jie wasn’t affected by this, and he just had to devour all of it. Although it wouldn’t taste great and didn’t contain much ‘nutrition’, it was still better than getting buried alive.

‘This deserted cave is pretty warm inside. It seems like there are interesting things to explore. In the previous life, many people discovered historical remains, natural souls, heroes’ skeletons after venturing at sea. The ocean is vast and boundless, and it has probably buried tons of treasures and history,’ thought Lin Jie.

The New Age treated all players equally, and everyone was able to grab opportunities to grow strong with their abilities and bravery.

This was the adventure.

Adventures would not be disrupted by any political means, and everyone could become an expert. This was the charm of The New Age.

As time went by, the beast’s struggles decreased gradually. With its intelligence, it probably realized that there was no point in blindly attacking.

According to Lin Jie’s research, this Boss was at least a Level 80 Overlord! These types of monsters were pretty smart, and if Lin Jie hadn’t destroyed its egg, it would have flown away.

Kacha—

An odd noise sounded from the cave, and Lin Jie peered in to have a look. The Blood Eagle was about to give up and leave the map.

How could he let the captured prey get away so easily? Lin Jie raised his finger, and the Crescent Silver-Feathered Eagle dashed out like a bolt of lightning and flew towards the other egg. It pecked down hard with its sharp beak, and in a spin, the liquid flowed out.

Lin Jie also took this chance of less than a second to check the monster’s health bar—it was a startling 4,000,000 points! Plus, the beast had already entered battle mode, as a layer of savage scales formed from dark blood covered its soft fur. It looked like a huge armored bird. There were rows of blades attached to its wings, and they were positioned just like hooks.

This was the activation of the powerful ancient bloodline! A hundred Lin Jie would not be sufficient to battle this creature.

Screech—

The beast’s wails resounded throughout the cliff, and it crashed its huge body against the cave as if it wanted to smash through it entirely! After losing two descendants, it had gone insane! The impact of this crash was comparable to Mars crashing onto Earth, and Lin Jie felt as though the whole cliff was about to collapse.

“Great timing!” Lin Jie yelled and dashed towards the entrance! At the same time, he gave the Silver-Feathered Eagle the command to attack him, while he activated Clomaros’ Seven Kills and was engulfed in a golden glow!

This was a skill more powerful than the Paladins’ immunity technique, Divine Shield. Other than the Silver-Feathered Eagle, Lin Jie would not be affected by any other controlling skills!

Lin Jie shone brilliantly as he widened his arms and rushed towards the beast! Upon closer inspection, he finally felt the full force of an ancient creature. The beast spread its wings, and it shielded the sun completely. It howled and cleared the skies.

“It was all part of my plan to deplete 30% of your health bar and anger you.” Lin Jie ground his teeth. When he reached the cliff, he had already planned it all out. He wasn’t going to destroy the Boss with the cliff, but instead, he was going to piss it off! When enraged, the Boss’ intelligence would drop, and its aggro value would be secured. It wouldn’t have any thoughts other than killing him.

If he had spent the entirety of the battle in the cave, it was highly possible that the Boss would remain alive while the cave collapsed, and Lin Jie died.

Thus, he had to take a risk!

Boom—

The beast crashed down like a meteorite and rammed Lin Jie onto the cliff. Instantly, the cave walls crumbled and fell like dust. A large crater was created behind Lin Jie, but he was oblivious to it. His Broken Blade was entangled onto the beast as he sliced ferociously, and a small piece of flesh was sliced off from its tough wings.

“Army Obliteration! Shield Cut!” Lin Jie wielded out the attacks and began slicing down its wings.

When the Death Ray Kill’s effects diminished, Lin Jie activated Dark Chaotic Hole once again and slapped a Dragon Armor Removal attack onto the beast. This completely disintegrated its blood-scaled armor and was unable to be formed again for the time being. At the same time, Broken Blade flew back to the sheath, and with an abrupt pull, a silver arc was drawn.

Nukitsuke!

The Blood Eagle’s right wing broke!

“Hunter’s Forward Charge!” Before the Blood Eagle could react, Lin Jie forward charged and dived towards the beast. The beast had relatively quick reflexes as its claws shot out and encapsulated Lin Jie within.

Due to the huge impact, both the man and bird fell off the cliff in a swoop! However, how could the beast be so weak? As an ancient creature, it was capable enough to survive until now. A cry was heard from the Boss before its whole body vibrated, and the blood-scaled armor formed thick blood clots before wrapping the entire creature within, just like an egg.

Skill: Nirvana!

“It’s so smart?” Lin Jie was surprised, so the Boss realized that he was intending to kill it by jumping off the cliff. Thus, it resorted to using Nirvana so that it would be revived upon dying, plus its attributes would be greatly boosted. It wouldn’t be impossible for it to upgrade to a higher level.

Lin Jie’s brows furrowed as the gale stung his ears and blocked all sounds from entering. His vision changed rapidly, almost resulting in a loss of sight. The only thought left was the creature in front of him.

Once they landed, he would fall to death, and the Blood Eagle would be reborn.

Nirvana would occur for 1 minute! Once it failed, the Boss would be in a weakened state. However, at the rate they were falling, they would reach the ground level within 13 seconds, and by then...

Lin Jie’s heart dropped. Nonetheless, he had to slay this beast. Otherwise, wouldn’t all his efforts be futile?

“Chain Blade!” Lin Jie stuck Broken Blade violently into the rocks along the cliff, however, how great was his falling speed? It was comparable to that of a meteorite when he fell from a height so high. With such a high impact, coupled with the sharpness of the blade, Broken Blade met with no resistance at all.

“If that’s the case, then Feather Drop—”

Boom—

Lin Jie’s head collided forcefully onto a protruding rock, and immediately, he began seeing stars, and the world started spinning. He plunged and rolled down the mountain.
