Chapter 358: 269 Slaying the Gold-Winged Thunder Eagle (End of Today’s Release)_2

He released the Hundred Eyes Cicada, whose eyes emitted a blinding golden light, easily surveying the entire island, but it did not find the Gold-Winged Thunder Eagle.

Shen Long scratched his head and slapped the green-hued Spirit Beast Bag on his waist; the Green-Eyed Spirit Fox flew out from it, which was currently at the late third tier.

The Green-Eyed Spirit Fox sniffed a few times with its nose and rushed toward the southeast direction of the island at great speed.

Shen Long took the Hundred Eyes Cicada back into the Spirit Beast Bag and chased after it.

In less than half an hour, the Green-Eyed Spirit Fox arrived in a cavern that spanned several acres; the entrance was concealed by vines and would have been undetectable were it not for the Spirit Fox’s keen sense of smell.

The uneven stone walls of the cavern were littered with some golden feathers.

"It looks like it went out hunting, this is good, let’s wait for the rabbit by its burrow."

Shen Long mumbled to himself.

He flicked his sleeve and one hundred and eight red Formation Flags shot out, floating in midair; the main Formation Flag was a Dharma Treasure, and the remaining one hundred and seven flags were top-quality Magic Artifacts.

With a pinch of a spell from Shen Long, the one hundred and eight Formation Flags lit up with blinding red light and flew in all directions, embedding into the walls and floor.

He waited in the Gold-Winged Thunder Eagle’s nest, ready to catch the unaware prey.

Shen Long fed the Green-Eyed Spirit Fox a Beast Nurturing Pill and took it back into the Spirit Beast Bag.

Shen Long flew out of the cavern and released the Iron Tail Scorpion and the Hundred Eyes Cicada.

The Iron Tail Scorpion’s carapace shone with a dazzling yellow light, covering Shen Long and the Hundred Eyes Cicada as they burrowed into the ground.

Half a month later, a shrill bird cry echoed, and a golden Escape Light appeared in the sky.

Before long, the golden Escape Light came to a halt, revealing an enormous golden eagle with wingspan over ten zhang wide, and bright golden feathers—the Gold-Winged Thunder Eagle at the early fourth tier.

With a gentle flap of its wings, the Thunder Eagle flew into the cavern.

Shortly after, a huge explosion erupted from within the cavern, shaking the earth and mountains.

The Iron Tail Scorpion emerged from the ground, with Shen Long and the Hundred Eyes Cicada standing on its back.

In Shen Long’s hand was a red Array Plate, which had eighteen evenly-sized slots, each containing a mid-grade Spirit Stone.

Shen Long inserted several spells into the Array Plate, causing it to emit glaring red light.

With a thunderous roar, the underground cavern burst apart, replaced by a massive red light screen with a flame pattern on its surface.

The Gold-Winged Thunder Eagle was trapped inside the red light screen, its body covered with golden electric arcs—it had never anticipated that its own nest would have a Formation.

The Thunder Eagle opened its beak and shot out a thick arc of golden electricity that struck the red light screen, which remained unscathed.

Shen Long changed his spell and cast another one into the Array Plate. The ground surged with a huge swath of crimson flames while in the void above, streaks of red light emerged and, after a blur, transformed into giant fireballs hanging in the sky like stars.

The giant fireballs hurtled towards the Gold-Winged Thunder Eagle, which flapped its wings lightly, dodging the fireballs. A flurry of yellow sand arrows shot forth and the Zizhu Blade turned into a purple rainbow, attacking the Thunder Eagle.

Shen Long maneuvered the formation while simultaneously commanding the Dharma Treasures and Magic Artifacts to attack the Gold-Winged Thunder Eagle.

The Gold-Winged Thunder Eagle’s divine skills were not minor, but facing a Tier-4 formation and Spiritual Treasures and Magic Artifacts on its own, it was under great pressure.

After less than half an hour, the Gold-Winged Thunder Eagle was struck by a gigantic fireball, engulfed in rolling flames. Before the flames had even dissipated, an even larger gigantic fireball crashed down.

With a thunderous rumble, the fire surged, and a mass of yellow flashing sand javelins shot through the air, piercing the flames and generating a series of muffled booms.

A purple rainbow streaked across the sky, looking set to cleave the flames in two when a piercing and shrill cry rang out. A huge mass of golden thunder light emerged, scattering the flames and revealing the form of the Gold-Winged Thunder Eagle.

The surface of the Gold-Winged Thunder Eagle bore the marks of having been scorched by fire. With a slight flap of its wings, it vanished in a golden escape light.

"Thunder Escape Technique!"

Shen Long was overjoyed, as this made the Gold-Winged Thunder Eagle even more valuable.

His spell changed, and a vast amount of red light emerged from the void, converging to form an enormous red fire cloud that spread over the entire red light screen.

The red fire cloud tumbled and surged, as large drops of red rain cascaded down towards the ground.

The Gold-Winged Thunder Eagle attempted to dodge using the Thunder Escape Technique, but the entire red light screen was showered with red fire rain, leaving no room to escape.

The red raindrops fell upon the Gold-Winged Thunder Eagle, turning into rolling flames that engulfed its body, and before the light of the fire had faded, a massively sized Yellow Sand Flood Dragon pounced forward.

The Gold-Winged Thunder Eagle opened its beak and spat out a thick bolt of golden lightning, striking the Yellow Sand Flood Dragon.

After a thunderous roar, the body of the Yellow Sand Flood Dragon burst apart into a plethora of yellow sand. The grains of sand suddenly coalesced, forming numerous sand javelins that continued to pound the body of the Gold-Winged Thunder Eagle, causing a multitude of golden feathers to fall and leaving the Thunder Eagle bloodied and bruised.

The Zizhu Blade streaked through the air, slicing towards the Gold-Winged Thunder Eagle.

The Gold-Winged Thunder Eagle tried to use the Thunder Escape Technique to dodge, but found its demonic power overly depleted and its reaction half a beat too slow, resulting in its right claw being severed by the Zizhu Blade.

Shen Long exerted his full power to drive the formation, and the Gold-Winged Thunder Eagle let out a mournful cry, spewing forth a thick bolt of golden lightning that struck the red light screen, producing a blinding flash of golden thunder light.

The huge body of the Gold-Winged Thunder Eagle slammed against the red light screen, causing the screen to wobble slightly.

The surface of the red light screen erupted with dazzling red light, the fire blazed, and the rolling flames swallowed the body of the Gold-Winged Thunder Eagle once more. A dense swarm of yellow sand javelins shot forth; many struck the Gold-Winged Thunder Eagle, aggravating its wounds.

The Zizhu Blade shot through the air, and as the Gold-Winged Thunder Eagle was about to evade, the yellow sand javelins disintegrated into a multitude of sand grains. The grains suddenly condensed into a thick yellow chain; one end of the chain seized the Thunder Eagle’s left claw, while the other end plunged into the ground.

The Gold-Winged Thunder Eagle spewed out a bolt of golden lightning, striking the yellow chain, but it remained unmoved. The Zizhu Blade flashed past and beheaded the Gold-Winged Thunder Eagle.

Shen Long breathed a sigh of relief; without the formation and the Spiritual Treasure, the Zizhu Blade, he would not have been able to kill the Gold-Winged Thunder Eagle.

Even among Tier-4 early-stage magical birds, the Gold-Winged Thunder Eagle was evidently harder to deal with. It took Shen Long quite some time to kill the Gold-Winged Thunder Eagle using the formation.

A miniature Gold-Winged Thunder Eagle flew out from the body, but before it could get far, a Red Jade Vase descended from the heavens, emitting a red light that enveloped the mini Thunder Eagle and captured it inside the vase.

Shen Long packed up the formation and stored the body of the Gold-Winged Thunder Eagle in his Storage Bag. He collected his treasures and transformed into a beam of Escape Light, leaving the area.
