The Miao sword struck the long beak of the golden-crowned eagle. The two met with a loud metallic cutting sound, and sparks even flew out.
As expected of a system reward, the Miao sword was of exceptional quality. Even the long beak of a supernatural creature like the Golden-Crowned Giant Eagle could not damage it. On the contrary, the incredibly sharp Miao sword directly cut through a part of the Golden-Crowned Giant Eagle's long beak, and the sharp blade embedded itself in it.
“Sir—”
The golden-crowned giant eagle let out a long cry.
This blow hurt it.
Zhang Lin sheathed his sword and slashed down again.
This time, the Golden-Crowned Giant Eagle didn't dare to confront it head-on and chose to evade.
However, it was too big to completely dodge. Instead, its panicked actions allowed Zhang Lin to strike its head directly with his blade.
Head bleeding profusely.
“Sir—”
The golden-crowned giant eagle cried out once more.
"Quick, attack its wings!" Led by Qiao Yu, the experts from Jinyu County began attacking the Golden Crowned Giant Eagle, their only target being its wings.
On the other side, led by Xia Xiaonuan, the experts from Hope City also rushed over.
Unlike others who engage in close-quarters combat or ranged attacks with firearms and bows, Xia Xiaonuan's attack method is quite unique.
Flames erupted all over her body, and not only her body, but also her motorcycle. The flames were blackish-red and looked menacing.
Enveloped in flames, Xia Xiaonuan maneuvered her motorcycle directly towards the Golden Crowned Eagle; her attack method was indeed unique.
Direct collision.
No wonder her extraordinary template is called the Flame Knight.
The golden-crowned giant eagle flapped its wings, occasionally taking to the air briefly, while attacking the crowd with its pair of sharp talons. Faced with those long and large golden talons, even a group of experts who relied on close combat could not get close.
Long-range weapons like bows and guns are also not very effective against it.
Before the arrows could even fly over, they were swerved by the air currents from its wings, rendering them completely ineffective.
The bullet wounds were too small, so even if the Golden Crowned Eagle was hit by several bullets, it wouldn't have much of an impact on it.
After all, the others didn't have pistols with unlimited ammo; their bullets were limited, and they couldn't fire wildly like Zhang Lin.
But Xia Xiaonuan's attacks were different.
She rode her motorcycle straight towards it from a distance, her body wreathed in flames. The immense momentum and intense heat caused her to crash directly into one of the golden-crowned eagle's wings.
"唷!!"
It cried out in pain again.
Xia Xiaonuan's attack directly broke one of the Golden Crowned Eagle's wings. The bones inside the wing were broken, the muscles and skin were torn, and the feathers were set on fire, emitting a burnt smell. The huge wing is now only connected by a little bit of skin and flesh, with the rest of it dragging helplessly on the ground.
"Well done!"
Zhang Lin laughed heartily, sheathed his sword, and retreated.
Now that he's no longer afraid of the Golden Crowned Eagle escaping, he can finally catch his breath.
Having just fought the Golden Crowned Giant Eagle for so long, giving it its all, even with its high stats, it's starting to feel the strain.
"Retreat, regroup, and fight again!"
Upon seeing Zhang Lin retreat, Qiao Yu quickly ordered the people of Jinyu County to retreat as well. At this point, the Golden Crowned Giant Eagle was no longer able to take off, so there was no need to risk their lives to prevent it from taking off.
Just a short while ago, at least four people died in Jinyu County.
This made the already sparsely populated Jinyu County settlement even worse, and Qiao Yu was heartbroken.
On the other side, the people of Hope City had also temporarily distanced themselves from the Golden Crowned Eagle.
The golden-crowned eagle can no longer take off; its greatest threat is gone. It's a lamb to the slaughter; there's no need to fight it anymore.
"Zhang Lin, it's your turn now." Xia Xiaonuan called out from a distance. By this time, the flames on her body had dissipated, and she sat weakly on the motorcycle to rest.
Even extraordinary templates are divided into levels. She had just awakened and her strength was limited. That move just now had already exhausted him.
"Yuetong, go take care of Xiaonuan." Zhang Lin waved to Ji Yuetong, who was hiding behind the crowd.
Ji Yuetong was unhappy. Xia Xiaonuan was not as sociable as An Qingge and never paid attention to them. But since it was Zhang Lin's order, she could only obediently come to Xia Xiaonuan's side and take out the food and water that she had blessed with the "holy ritual" to help Xia Xiaonuan recover.
The golden-crowned eagle panicked completely. Ignoring the excruciating pain of its broken wing, it frantically flapped its wings, trying to return to its familiar sky.
But……
With one wing broken and its balance lost, it had no chance of returning to the sky.
It let out a mournful cry.
At the same time, it revealed a fierce look and stared at everyone, especially Zhang Lin and Xia Xiaonuan. It stood up, dragging a broken wing, and walked on its two long legs towards Xia Xiaonuan.
Even without its wings, it will still seek revenge.
"As expected of a supernatural creature, it's ferocious!" Zhang Lin exclaimed, then ordered, "Everyone, attack together! Use your skills to kill it!"
Originally, Zhang Lin wanted to delay, let the Golden Crowned Giant Eagle bleed more, let the excruciating pain torment its will, and then make his move when it was at its weakest.
This way, the cost is small.
But it actually dared to lay a hand on Xia Xiaonuan!
Zhang Lin had no choice but to send it on its way sooner.
At this moment, no one dared to disobey Zhang Lin's orders.
Qiao Yu, who held absolute power in Jin Yu County, was forced to relinquish command. Chen Junyu, the top martial artist in Jin Yu County, who had challenged him, had his arm severed by Qiao Yu with a single strike.
The Golden Crowned Giant Eagle, which the entire Golden Feather County could not deal with, had now become a lamb to the slaughter.
Who would dare disobey his orders?
Especially Qiao Yu.
He finally understood why Zhang Lin had more influence than the city lord in Hope City.
Exceptional templates!
He had just heard a strange beastly roar. Although he couldn't identify what kind of beast it was, he knew that it was because of this roar that the Golden Crowned Giant Eagle had given up trying to escape and instead chose to attack Zhang Lin.
It was precisely because of this that Xia Xiaonuan had the opportunity to use her extraordinary template strength to destroy the Golden Crowned Giant Eagle's wings in one fell swoop.
Although Qiao Yu did not recognize Zhang Lin's extraordinary abilities, he did recognize Xia Xiaonuan's abilities.
After all, Xia Xiaonuan is a famous expert, and everyone knows what her abilities are.
"How did the city lord manage to awaken the extraordinary template at this time?" Qiao Yu pondered as he led his men to attack the golden-crowned giant eagle. Suddenly, he realized something: "No, the extraordinary template definitely didn't come from the city lord!"
If the city lord had this ability, she wouldn't have waited until now to bring it out.
Moreover, if the city lord had this ability, she would not have allowed a newcomer to take away her voice within Hope City.
This means...
Qiao Yu's expression changed.
He underestimated Zhang Lin.
"It seems that after I join Hope City, I must cultivate a good relationship with Zhang Lin!"
