Chapter 171: Chapter 171: The Giant Eagle in the Cave (Third Update)

Everyone suddenly felt a surge of panic.

Yang Xiao shouted loudly:

"Attack!"

With a whoosh from his sparrow bow, the drawn bow launched an arrow that burst into 7 Arrow Shadows across the cold sky before the Giant Eagle.

The Giant Eagle flapped its wings slightly, stirring up a huge whirlwind, which deflected the direction of Yang Xiao’s seven Arrow Shadows, causing them to shoot under the body of the Giant Eagle.

In the sky, Huang Wen and Li Zhan fired their Fiery Flame Arrows at the Giant Eagle’s head.

The Giant Eagle opened its mouth and spit out a ball of flame, burning up both their Flame Arrows.

Chen Fei waved her hands, and an Ice Cone broke through the air.

Feifei let out a roar, unleashing the Soul Skill Thousand Threads Piercing Cloud, and hundreds of thumb-thick hairs shot out like arrows towards the Giant Eagle.

Chen Fei released a Fireball.

Long Yongjun’s Dog Blood Blade Technique tore through the air, a powerful Sword Energy slashing towards the Giant Eagle in midair.

Yang Xiao’s sparrow bow fired continuously, sending three Feathered Arrows one after another towards the Giant Eagle, instantly bursting into 21 Arrow Shadows.

Dai Yun struck with a Wolf Claw Critical Strike from a distance.

All eight people were at the Primordial Gene Primary Stage, unleashing considerable Combat Power.

The Giant Eagle seemed reluctant to withstand so many attacks, and with a piercing scream, it flapped its wings and burst into a huge flame below,

exploding with a boom beneath it, blocking the attacks from everyone and soaring into the sky, skillfully avoiding all the attacks with its seemingly clumsy body.

Yang Xiao was startled inwardly; this Giant Eagle’s Genetic Evolution Level seemed higher than it had been months before, and its offensive power had also increased.

Yang Xiao turned to glance at the cave ahead and shouted:

"Huang Wen and Li Zhan, come down; let’s enter the cave, the rest keep attacking and cover us."

Thus, Yang Xiao and the others gritted their teeth and unleashed a barrage of attacks. For a moment, the sky was filled with continuous explosions, and although the Giant Eagle was formidable, it couldn’t overpower them in a short time.

Huang Wen and Li Zhan landed behind Yang Xiao.

"Let’s go, into the cave, be careful, there might be a young eagle inside."

Yang Xiao and the others kept attacking while running towards the cave entrance.

Seeing the group rushing toward the cave, the Giant Eagle became anxious, screeching sharply. Suddenly, with a spread of its wings and a booming noise, hundreds of Feathered Arrows shot towards Yang Xiao and the others, each arrow blazing with intense flames.

"Holy shit!"

"Everyone, dodge!"

"This is the Soul Skill of simultaneous Feather Arrow fire, run!"

"Don’t panic, Light Shield, Light Shield, Light Shield."

Yang Xiao shouted.

With a buzz, a Light Shield was activated in front of him, and upon hearing this, everyone else quickly summoned Light Shields as a critical defense.

Boom!

An earth-shattering explosion occurred as hundreds of Fiery Feather Arrows exploded together, a powerful shockwave blasting towards Yang Xiao and the rest.

Crack, crack, crack...

All the Light Shields shattered instantaneously,

and everyone felt their bodies jolt as blood surged and a mouthful of fresh blood was spat out, all flung towards the massive cave entrance.

Thankfully they had the Light Shields for protection; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Everyone picked themselves up from the ground and dashed into the cave.

Yang Xiao quickly turned around, and fired two arrows towards the outside; Chen Fei’s Ice Cone and Chen Lu’s Fireball also shot out simultaneously.

Ugh—

The Giant Eagle continued to shriek outside the cave, attempting a few times to rush in, but with Yang Xiao and the others defending from within and continuously shooting outwards, the Giant Eagle had to retract its wings and crawl to enter the cave, unable to use its Soul Skills and becoming a passive target.

The Giant Eagle dares not enter the cave for the time being, screeching anxiously outside.

Yang Xiao tells everyone to take out a Small Blood Pill and eat it to recuperate from their internal injuries.

"Chen Fei, Chen Lu, Dai Yun, Li Zhan, the four of you guard the cave entrance. As soon as the Giant Eagle dares to come in, immediately serve it a variety of Ice Cones, Fireballs, Wolf Claw Critical Strikes, and Fiery Feather Arrows."

After taking the Small Blood Pills, the four stand in position, blocking a spot about ten meters away from the cave entrance.

Yang Xiao leads Huang Wen, Long Yongjun, and Feifei deeper into the cave.

"Be careful. There should be a smaller Giant Eagle inside the cave."

"Boss, it’s too dark inside the cave. I can’t see anything," says Long Yongjun.

Yang Xiao thinks for a moment and says:

"Go switch places with Chen Lu, her Fireball can provide lighting."

As a result, Long Yongjun replaces Chen Lu. Chen Lu casts a Fireball into the cave, and with the light from the Fireball, everyone is able to see the inside of the cave.

The four proceed slowly inside.

The cave is spacious, growing wider the further they go.

After groping their way for about a few dozen meters, suddenly, there’s a hint of light seeping in from afar, taking everyone by surprise as they all prepare for defense.

The group continues to walk a few dozen meters forward, and before them lies a massive cave, with a large opening on one side of the cave where the light is coming in from.

The lighting inside the cave is still dim, and on one side in the distance, there is a lot of faint light being emitted from the ground.

Chen Lu casts another Fireball, and under its illumination, everything inside the cave is visible to the naked eye.

The group exclaims in surprise; there are bones of various animals on one side of the cave, piled up like a small hill, and those emitting weak light on the ground are actually Genetic Fragments. Also, there are objects glowing with a golden light; these must be equipment dropped after the death of various mutated animals.

Chen Lu casts another Fireball towards another side of the cave, which makes Yang Xiao and the others jump in fright as they see a Giant Eagle lying on the ground covered in a thick layer of dry grass. However, the Giant Eagle seems motionless.

Instantly, the group sets up their stance, ready to attack the Giant Eagle on the ground.

But still, the Giant Eagle doesn’t stir at all.

"Strange, is the Giant Eagle on the ground dead?"

"Otherwise, with the Giant Eagle’s Genetic Evolution Level, it would have detected us long ago and attacked us."

"Boss, what’s going on?"

Yang Xiao says:

"I’m not sure what the situation is either. Everyone, stay on guard. I’ll go check it out."

As he speaks, Yang Xiao buzzes a Light Shield in front of himself, his right hand holding a Snow Wolf Ice Sword.

The rest also activate their Light Shields for defense.

Yang Xiao carefully approaches to about seven or eight meters away and kicks a piece of rock over, hitting the Giant Eagle on the ground. The Giant Eagle still does not respond.

"Holy shit, could it really be a dead eagle?"

Holding the sword, Yang Xiao moves closer again, two or three meters away, maintains the Light Shield defense, and gently nudges the feathers of the Giant Eagle on the ground with the Snow Wolf Ice Sword in his hand.

Still no movement.

Is it really a dead eagle?

Yang Xiao walks over and kicks it.

Eh—

The Giant Eagle on the ground suddenly emits a screech, its body slightly trembling.

"Mommy!"

Yang Xiao is so scared that he quickly retreats dozens of meters.
