Chapter 25 - Picking up a bargain, the golden-winged roc

Chapter 25 Picking up a bargain, the golden-winged roc

Lu Xun, a Chinese writer and poet, had once said that a handsome man would not have bad luck.

Yang Xu felt that his luck today was excellent. Although he didn’t pick up any money, he picked up the corpses of three sea beasts by the sea when he got up in the morning.

The first one was a sea dragon with a huge body over 60 meters long. They were a type of dinosaur. It looked like a crocodile with a long cylindrical body. Its surface was the size of a shield and had greenish-brown scales that were as hard as steel. A sword could only leave a shallow scratch on it.

The 60-meter-long sea dragon’s corpse lay on the golden beach, like a 20-story building that had collapsed on the ground. It was spectacular.

If a person were to stand beside the sea dragon’s corpse and look up, they would look like a small sparrow standing beside an elephant and looking up at it. The terrifying pressure made people feel fear.

The sea dragon’s cause of death was that its head had been torn apart, and its brain was visible.

The second creature was a giant python with a single horn on its head!

The purple horn seemed to be carved out of purple jade. It was more than a meter long and spiral-shaped. The scene made people tremble with fear.

The purple snake was extremely thick, and its waist was more than a meter in diameter, with its body covered in purple scales. They shone with a metallic luster and reflected a hazy purple light under the sun, like a layer of illusory and mysterious purple mist.

Only half of the 40-meter-long snake was left and it seemed to have been torn apart.

Bright red blood flowed from the snake’s mouth, and the broken purple scales could be seen at the corner of its mouth. It must have been the Sea Dragon that had given the purple snake a fatal blow.

Yang Xu was more curious about the third corpse than the sea dragon and the purple snake.

Oh, to be more precise, it should be a prey that was on its last breath.

It was a golden-winged roc that was 30 to 40 meters long and had wings that were nearly 100 meters long.

It was shaped like an eagle, with a white head and golden feathers.

The golden feathers seemed to have been cast by a master using pieces of gold. Under the sun, they shone with a golden luster, full of a metallic texture, and extremely impactful.

It was easy to imagine what a spectacular sight it would be when such a huge bird of prey spread its wings and soared in the sky.

However, this incomparably handsome golden-winged roc was miserable at this moment. Its left wing, which seemed to be made of gold, was broken in the middle and

bent into a strange shape.

There was also a two-foot-long venomous fang embedded in the wing, which could have

come from the purple snake.

A golden claw that could easily crush mountain rocks was broken, leaving only a little skin, revealing the white bones, which was particularly terrifying.

He was curious to know if it was the sea dragon’s credit or the purple snake’s. These two wounds might not be fatal. The actual deadly attack could be seen on the golden-winged roc’s abdomen.

It was a three-meter-long tear, and blood gushed out, dyeing the golden feathers red. The blood had already dried up, showing that he had been injured for a long time. Through the huge wound, one could even see the squirming internal organs inside, which was quite uncomfortable.

Yang Xu needed help understanding how the three of them managed to get together when he went closer for a better look.

One was flying in the sky.

One was swimming in the sea.

One of them should be amphibious.

It couldn’t be said that the three of them were completely unrelated, but the chances of them being entangled together were not high.

However, Yang Xu could imagine how brutal the battle had been last night from the look of the three giant beasts.

He suspected that it had something to do with the riot last night.

The roar of the sea giant last night had set off

the competitive hearts of all the overlords in this wildland. Each of them wanted the whole world to know their abilities.

Of course, Yang Xu did not really care how the three creatures died. Even the golden-winged roc that was still alive is already dead in Yang Xu’s eyes. “Your Majesty.”

When he was two to three hundred meters

away from the golden-winged roc, Yun Xiao stood in front of Yang Xu, preventing him from getting closer to the creature. Although the golden-winged roc was clearly

on the verge of death, no one dared to underestimate such a terrifying beast. Not to mention its strength, just its weight

alone could crush countless people to death. Yun Xiao stood in front of Yang Xu and stared at the golden-winged roc with his cold eyes. His face, which hardly showed any expression in the past thousands of years, showed a hint

of shock.

From the way Yun Xiao was holding a bow

with both his hands tightly, one could see how nervous he was.

As for the other soldiers, their expressions

had also changed as they cried out in shock.

The fierce living beasts are awe-inspiring, but three mutilated corpses?

Sooner or later, they would all be corpses. Who would fear these dead beasts? If they didn’t even have this bit of mental

strength, they wouldn’t be worthy of being soldiers of the Great Xu nation. They stood in an orderly line and guarded

Yang Xu, looking up at the three terrifying beasts on the beach.

Although it was not the first time they had seen such a huge and terrifying savage beast, they would never have gotten so close to it in

the past. They could not get close to a beast of this level.

Even if all the troops of the Great Xu nation were mobilized, they might need help to defeat a giant beast of this level. The golden-winged roc lay on its side on the

beach. It had a long run out of strength. Occasionally, it flapped its wings gently, stirring up sand and dust.

But that was all.

When it saw Yang Xu and the hundreds of

soldiers approaching, its golden vertical pupils were nervous and angry.

“Hiss ~~”

The golden-winged roc raised its head and let

out a sharp cry. It was obviously very weak and powerless. But this weak voice turned into an invisible attack, like a sound wave weapon that made people’s hearts beat uncontrollably as if they were about to jump out of their chests.

Just the creature’s cry was enough to make people feel uncomfortable and numb. Yang Xu’s brows were tightly locked together, and he was shocked.

This was also his first time coming into close contact with a giant beast of this level. Yang Xu could not imagine how powerful the golden-winged roc would be at its peak if it could make such a muffled cry even when it was almost dead.

Perhaps just a cry from the creature would be enough to kill someone!

Yang Xu didn’t dare to be careless when he felt how terrifying the creature was. He clenched his ten-foot-long bone spear and

raised his strong right arm in an attacking

stance.

“Attack!” Yang Xu put away his spear and stood still. The golden-winged roc was so terrifying that only a fool would fight it in close combat.

Being cautious was the way to survive in the wilderness.

After receiving Yang Xu’s order, the Azure

bird tribe members reacted the fastest. They spread their wings, flew 100 meters into the air, and drew their bows and arrows. A series of sharp arrows glowed with green light descended from the sky, making a shrill sound like the creature’s cry.

Each arrow was aimed at the wound on the

ROC’s abdomen.

The golden-winged roc wanted to stop them, but it was too weak to do so. The speed of its wings was slow, and it could not block the arrows of the green bird clan. Under the

attack of the sharp arrows, the wound that had already healed was torn open again under the attack of the azure bird tribe, and bright red blood gushed out like a stream. The Qing Qiu foxes were quick too. They took out three water chestnut thorns

and used telekinesis to control their weapons, attacking the golden-winged roc’s eyes, broken wings, and claws.

Occasionally, a weapon would hit the golden-winged roc’s golden feathers, and a flash of sparks would appear. It was as if it had hit an indestructible metal and did not

even leave a trace.

Although the attacks of the Qing Qiu foxes

were not as powerful as the bows and arrows of the azure bird tribe, they were more flexible and could even change the direction

of their attacks at will, making it impossible

for the golden-winged roc to dodge. It closed its eyes tightly to prevent the blades

of the Qing Qiu foxes from piercing its eyes,

but its broken wings and claws were unable to

defend itself.

If the golden-winged roc was at its peak, these attacks would be the same as tickles. However, even though it wanted to defend itself, its injuries were too severe. The golden-winged roc flapped its wings a few times and gradually stopped moving. In just a moment, tears could be seen from

the golden-winged roc, and its majestic golden eyes lost their luster and became dull.

Yang Xu couldn’t help but sigh.
