Qiao Yu was rebuffed and had nothing to say but to obey orders.

The main reason is that the city lord has always been very lenient with Zhang Lin. He doesn't know Zhang Lin, but he trusts the city lord. Since the city lord trusts Zhang Lin so much, he is also willing to trust the city lord's judgment.

In the distance, Chen Junyu and the others were in an open space, their hearts filled with tension. No one knew when the golden-crowned giant eagle would land, carry them into the sky, and devour them alive.

In fact, Zhang Lin guessed correctly. In order to get Chen Junyu to act as bait, Qiao Yu promised him that as long as he survived, she would marry her daughter Qiao Ruoxi to him.

Chen Junyu was the top expert in Jinyu County, and he had several trusted subordinates. Since he had come to act as bait, his subordinates naturally followed him.

In essence, Qiao Yu only convinced Chen Junyu to handle five decoys.

Qiao Ruoxi was very saddened by her father's decision.

She and Chen Junyu were college classmates. Chen Junyu had always liked her, and she knew that, but she had no feelings for him at all.

But her father, Qiao Yu, needed this subordinate, so she had no choice but to follow her father's orders and keep Chen Junyu hanging.

Now, if he survives, she has to marry him.

This made the girl feel a little resentful.

"It would have been better if he had died in the jaws of a giant eagle..."

The thought suddenly popped into her head, but she quickly shook her head, trying to dispel it.

"That's terrifying. I shouldn't think like that. Chen Junyu risked his life for everyone..."

Qiao Ruoxi may not be kind-hearted, but her values ​​are still very upright. She couldn't bring herself to curse Chen Junyu viciously in her heart.

But she was still very unwilling to marry Chen Junyu.

Suddenly, Qiao Ruoxi's gaze shifted to Zhang Lin.

This man has left my usually domineering father speechless and helpless. I wonder if he has any way to change my father's mind...

In such a tense moment, perhaps only a girl like Qiao Ruoxi would have the mind to think wildly.

Everyone else, including Zhang Lin, stared intently at Chen Junyu and the others, while some others gazed at the vast sky.

The Golden Crowned Eagle could come at any time; we must not let our guard down.

Speaking of which, neither of the two extraordinary creatures Zhang Lin had ever encountered, the Golden-Crowned Giant Eagle and the Thousand-Legged Corpse, acted according to common sense.

One attacked from underground, the other from the sky.

Fortunately, even though they have become extraordinary beings with considerable intelligence, the intelligence of the centipede and the golden-crowned giant eagle is still inferior to that of humans.

Humans are tired of using bait to lure people.

However, it is very effective against centipedes and golden-crowned giant eagles.

They've never seen so many tricks before.

Driven by their animalistic instincts, they spotted food that posed no danger and was readily available, like a buffet, and were sure to be tempted.

After waiting for more than an hour, the Golden Crowned Eagle finally appeared.

It first hovered in the air, at a very high position. Its huge body, with a wingspan of nearly twenty meters, was just a small black dot in the eyes of the people below.

"They're here!"

Qiao Yu had seen the Golden Crowned Eagle many times and immediately recognized it. He pointed Zhang Lin in the right direction.

Zhang Lin looked over. His eyesight was better, so he could see it more clearly and could roughly make out the outline of a bird.

However, the Golden-crowned Eagle is very fast, so you have to keep a close eye on it. If you're not careful, it will fly out of sight and then it will be difficult to find it again.

"How long do you think it will take before it comes down to attack the decoy?" Zhang Lin asked.

Qiao Yu smiled wryly: "I don't know. The scary thing about it is that we have no idea when it will come down."

Zhang Lin was not disappointed by this, as he had expected it.

Chen Junyu also saw the giant eagle in the sky. He became nervous. If he wanted to marry the goddess, he had to survive.

The black dot in the sky continued to hover, putting immense pressure on the five decoys below.

No one knew when the golden-crowned eagle would descend; the feeling that death could come at any moment was terrifying.

Finally, one person couldn't withstand the immense pressure and decided to run away.

"I'm not going to be the bait anymore!"

He broke down emotionally and ran towards crowded places.

Zhang Lin's face was gloomy.

This is blatant defiance of his orders. If he is not severely punished, who will listen to him in the future?

Just as Zhang Lin was about to behead the deserter, the giant eagle that had been circling in the sky for half a day finally landed.

The white and gold feathers, moving at extreme speed, were like a bolt of lightning, rushing straight towards Chen Junyu and the others.

Beneath its two long legs, harder than alloy, two ferocious claws grabbed the two people directly, and then its huge wings flapped, sending it flying into the sky.

"Stay here!"

Chen Junyu roared and slashed at one of the golden-crowned giant eagle's claws with his sword.

The golden-crowned giant eagle had captured his subordinates, so he had to intervene.

However, Chen Junyu's sword strike posed no threat to the giant eagle. When the blade struck the eagle's leg, it produced a crisp metallic clang.

His sword was chipped, but the giant eagle was unharmed.

"There's no chance anymore!"

The moment the giant eagle appeared, Qiao Yu rushed out, along with Zhang Lin and other experts.

But after seeing the giant eagle take off, he still let out a helpless sigh.

He had experienced this situation before.

Once the giant eagle takes flight, there will be no chance of catching it again.

He felt some resentment.

Zhang Lin ignored him, resulting in the deaths of two people in the Jinyu County settlement.

He slowed his pace, trying to reassure himself that although they had lost two men, it was good to teach Zhang Lin a lesson so that he wouldn't remain so arrogant.

Just as Qiao Yu was comforting himself, a faint dragon's roar sounded, and the giant eagle stopped taking off. Its eyes were full of anger, and it swooped down directly towards the crowd.

"What's going on?!"

Qiao Yu was taken aback.

This time, the Golden Crowned Eagle did not immediately flee thousands of miles away, but instead took the initiative to attack, which was unprecedented!

"Attack its wings!"

Zhang Lin's roar rang out beside Qiao Yu.

Qiao Yu then realized that the giant eagle was actually attacking Zhang Lin directly.

At this moment, Zhang Lin took the lead, wielding a Miao sword and wearing a dazzling energy shield, charging fearlessly towards the giant eagle.

At the same time, he was holding a pistol in his other hand and firing wildly at the eagle's wings.

Qiao Yu immediately realized what was happening and rushed towards the giant eagle, wielding his warhammer and striking its wing.

The giant eagle finally reached Zhang Lin, its long beak, stronger than alloy, struck him like a cannonball. Instantly, Zhang Lin's holy shield shattered, but he himself was unharmed. He had somehow put away his pistol and was now wielding a knife with both hands, aiming directly at the giant eagle's head!
