Chapter 50: Horned Eagle Beast, Feather of the Imperial Wind
That was a place that had never been explored before. The unknown meant danger. Mcgee had to let himself and the beast controllers rest for a while and be at peak performance.
The Little Spirit Fox and Chameleon were still fine. Only the Heavenly Eye Spiders were injured. Unfortunately, they were afraid of the heat, so they suffered burns of different degrees within a short period of time after entering the cave.
Mcgee had the Little Spirit Fox use their life force to heal them. Then, half an hour later, they set off again.
Omori was guarding the house and controlling the watchtowers and traps. There was no need to worry about other people or monsters stealing items from the house when they went out with him around.
The Steel Fairy led Mcgee to a place called the Wind Cave.
The environment here was a little similar to the mining cave.
Dense wind elements constantly flowed out of the cave, forming a cyclone that blew on Mcgee’s face.
“Don’t tell me there’s a boss here too?”
Thinking about it, it was unlikely. There had only been one boss announced by the system so far. If there were more bosses, there should be a hint.
After entering the cave with ease, they came to an empty area.
This place was like a valley. The environment was beautiful, and the scenery was charming. There were no signs of a boss appearing.
However, there were normal monsters that were on the same level as the Giant Rock Monster.
Name: Horned Eagle
Level: 6
Attributes: Wind
Skills: Peck, tornado.
[Peck]: The Horned Eagle can keenly find the opponent’s weak spot and use its sharp beak to attack the target.
[Tornado]: The Horned Eagle can control a certain degree of wind element, allowing it to flap its wings to launch a tornado attack on its target, hindering the opponent’s movement.
Quality: Bronze
Likes: Snake, rabbit
Advantages: It has the ability to fly, and its speed is extremely fast. It is very difficult for ground targets to pose a threat to it.
Disadvantages: Its body is very fragile. Once it is. .h.i.t by the wings, it will lose the air control that it is proud of.
Evolution: None.
…
It was not a very strong monster, but its level was relatively high.
Compared to the Giant Rock Monster, which could be considered a level 6 leader monster, the Horned Eagle’s ability was a little mediocre.
Right below the Horned Eagle’s resting place, there was a golden treasure chest. It was the target of their trip.
“Little Spirit Fox, wet its wings with water bullets first. Then, heavenly Eye Spider, prepare to bind it with a spider web!”
Mcgee, who could see the notification, quickly gave the order.
The Little Spirit Fox immediately ran and found the right angle to launch a series of water bullets.
However, the Horned Eagle had the support of wind elements, so its reaction was swift. It keenly sensed that danger was approaching and immediately flew into the air.
All the water bullets missed, but the Heavenly Eye Spiders had already thrown out five flying webs in succession, facing the Horned Eagle’s path.
The Horned Eagle screeched, flapped its wings unhurriedly, and used the force of the strong wind to blow away the spider web.
In the blink of an eye, it had already flown very high, exceeding the attack range of the tamed beasts.
Mcgee had not come for it, so it did not matter if he could not kill it. Even if he chased it away, he could still take the treasure chest.
Just as he was about to approach, the Horned Eagle realized that this human would take the treasure chest that it had been guarding for a long time, so it immediately swooped down again.
“Master, be careful!”
The Little Spirit Fox immediately reminded him. Then, in the next moment, it charged forward without hesitation.
Fire elements kept gathering on its body as it charged forward. Then, in the blink of an eye, it formed a huge fireball.
“Red flame!”
“Claw attack!”
The Little Spirit Fox chuckled twice. Then, its body merged with the flames and collided with the Horned Eagle.
Mcgee, who had wanted to take the treasure chest with the protection of the earth mystic armor, was stunned for a moment.
Then, a voice rang in his mind.
“System Notification: Your three-elemental Spiritual Fox has gained enlightenment during the battle. You have successfully combined the skills claw attack and red flame and obtained red flame claw attack!”
The Little Spirit Fox’s sharp claws were attached with even more violent fire elemental energy in the red flame. With one claw, the Horned Eagle’s pecking skill was smashed away, leaving a charred wound on its neck.
The Horned Eagle cried out in pain. It was sent flying by the enormous force and crashed into the bottom of a tree in the distance.
The Little Spirit Fox refused to let go. Another wall of fire enveloped it, directly burning its body.
The miserable howl became even louder.
“It seems that we don’t even need to make a move.”
The Heavenly Eye Spider Queen was stunned. She glanced at the Chameleon that was only half a leg long.
“Sister Little Spirit Fox is so powerful?” The Chameleon could not help but fall into deep thought. As the last subordinate of Mcgee’s tamed beast team, it was the first time it saw the Little Spirit Fox make a move.
It did not expect that the Little Spirit Fox, which was of the same quality and level as it was, could beat the obviously stronger Horned Eagle into such a state in a one-on-one fight.
However, the Horned Eagle was, after all, a level six beast.
After being burned by the fire, its crystal-clear feathers were not ignited by the fire. Instead, they were still as bright as usual. But, under the protection of the wind element, they glowed with a green light.
Only Mcgee knew that this was the airflow formed by the wind element, which blocked the fire outside.
“Heavenly Eye Spider, release the silk and bind it, use the net to capture it!”
He did not intend to give the Horned Eagle a chance to breathe. “After trapping it, directly bite it with your poisonous teeth!”
“Yes! Master!”
A few small Heavenly Eye Spiders immediately spat out several strands of spider silk, pulling the wings and legs of the Horned Eagle.
The Horned Eagle still wanted to fly away, but it was too late.
The Heavenly Eye Spider Queen’s flying net came one after another, precisely binding it. The Horned Eagle, which had lost its ability to fly, fell to the ground. It felt a pain in its neck, and then it was. .h.i.t by a poisonous bite skill.
The poison spread in its body. No matter how powerful this level six beast was, it was still tortured by these methods.
Finally, the Little Spirit Fox’s red flame claw attack ended its life.
“System Notification: Your beast master Little Spirit Fox has successfully killed the lvl. 6 Horned Eagle!”
Hearing the notification, Mcgee quickly said, “Okay, stop.”
It would be a pity if the body of the level 6 beast were broken. On the other hand, the Giant Rock Monster had given him a huge amount of minerals, so what kind of surprise would this Horned Eagle bring?
“Decomposition!”
“System notification: You have obtained eagle meat x 50, claw of destruction x 2, feather of the imperial wind x 1.”
[Claw of Destruction]: Forging material can be cast into weapon-type equipment to increase its sharpness.
[Feather of the Imperial Wind]: An enchanted material can be added to weapons to give them the wind element effect.
