But he didn't say anything; he just stared intently at his partner with eyes full of trust and encouragement.
He knew that for the fledgling eagle, who possessed an indomitable spirit, this was only the beginning!
On the ground, the fledgling eagle struggled, shaking its somewhat dizzy head.
It spread its wings and tried to stand up again.
Failed.
try again.
Still failed.
The wing that had been struck head-on by the [Steel Wing] felt waves of intense pain.
But in its clear eyes, there was not the slightest fear or retreat; instead, a flame was burning fiercely!
“Chi——!!!”
It let out an angry roar, and an invisible, violent power surged from its body!
[Never Give Up] Trait, activated!
Attack power increased!
It finally used all its strength to stand up again, and once again, it spread its wings and flew high!
A flicker of surprise crossed the armored bird's eyes, quickly replaced by an even more intense cruelty. It swooped down once more, its wings whistling through the air!
This time, the fledgling eagle was prepared.
It learns in adversity and grows in the storm!
Using a sudden updraft, it narrowly avoided the armored bird's head-on collision, while its sharp claws gleamed coldly as it viciously clawed at the bird's abdomen!
However, the moment the claws made contact with the armored bird's body, a sickening metallic scraping sound rang out!
The armored bird's steel feathers provide unimaginable defense!
The counterattack caused no damage.
But the archea's counterattack came in quick succession. It spun around suddenly, and its other wing swept out like an iron whip, once again striking the eaglet's back with pinpoint accuracy!
"boom!"
Another heavy blow!
The fledgling eagle was shot down from the sky again, and it gained another wound.
But it still didn't fall.
Under Lin Che's unwavering gaze, it once again, stubbornly and tenaciously, took to the sky again!
The "Never Give Up" trait activates twice!
Attack power, stacked again!
Its gaze has changed from its initial arrogance to an almost insane arrogance and haughtiness!
Shot down time and time again, and the 587 taking off again and again.
Each devastating blow fueled their soaring fighting spirit!
The young eagle was covered in wounds, its white down stained crimson with blood. But its aura grew ever more terrifying with each life-or-death struggle!
It transforms in battle!
It is learning how the armored bird uses the wind; it is feeling the pulse of the sky!
The contempt in the armored bird's eyes had vanished, replaced by unprecedented solemnity and rage. It couldn't comprehend how this weak fledgling possessed such tenacious vitality, how it could grow stronger with each repeated blow!
It decided to use its strongest strike to completely end this damned provocateur!
The armored bird soared into the sky, its entire body of metallic feathers gleaming with dazzling light, and a destructive aura began to gather!
Fatal blow!
Faced with an attack that could annihilate him completely, the fledgling eagle not only did not dodge, but instead met the terrifying pressure and let out a cry that resounded through the sky!
That voice was filled with indomitable spirit, domineering power, and the most primal yearning for the sky!
It charged headlong into that silver beam of death!
In Lin Che's suddenly contracted pupils, its small body broke through its own limits!
Om-!
A dazzling, holy light of evolution bursts forth fiercely at the summit of the storm!
The light was so intense, like a brand new sun, that it instantly illuminated the entire mountaintop as bright as day, and even forcefully pushed aside the surrounding raging air currents!
The light dissipated.
At the eye of the storm, a magnificent eagle with a wingspan of over three meters hovered silently.
Its entire body is covered in red, white, and blue feathers, each feather as sharp as a blade, gleaming with a chilling light. The magnificent crest on its head further emphasizes its unparalleled majesty.
What's most striking is its eyes.
That was no longer the arrogance of a fledgling bird, but the gaze of an absolute overlord who looked down upon the world and all living beings!
Warriors Eagles!
With a gentle flap of its wings, the gale that had previously been strong enough to blow an adult away now obediently supported its body.
It has become the new master of this storm.
Chapter 58 A New Hint: The Superpowered Sanctuary Deep Within the Storm! The Eye of the Storm, Distorted Space!
At the summit of Fengjian Peak, a biting wind, carrying salty, fishy vapor, swept in, making one's robes flutter loudly.
Lin Che stood on the edge of the cliff, with a bottomless abyss below him, and in the distance, the sea surged with gray waves under the gloomy sky.
He turned around and looked at the old captain behind him, whose skin was dark and whose face was etched with the lines of time.
"Thank you so much this time, sir."
Lin Che handed over a heavy money bag, its weight far exceeding what was previously agreed upon.
The old captain instinctively reached out and took it. The astonishing weight made his rough palms sag slightly. He squeezed it, and the sensation from his fingertips made his eyes twitch. The hard currency inside was at least what he would earn in ten years at sea.
He opened his mouth as if to say something, but his gaze was involuntarily drawn to the magnificent creature beside Lin Che.
Warrior Eagle.
It stood there silently, its crimson crest swaying slightly in the wind, its sharp, hooked beak gleaming with a metallic sheen. Its amber eyes possessed an innate arrogance and majesty, like a sovereign of the sky surveying its domain. Even the mere aura it exuded made the surrounding air heavy.
The old captain had spent his entire life making a living in these waters and had seen countless ferocious sea creatures, but he had never seen such a breathtaking flying-type overlord.
He weighed the money bag in his hand, and finally let out a long, heartfelt sigh.
"Kid, your future is limitless."
He looked at Lin Che's young and calm face, his eyes filled with the most sincere feelings of an experienced person for a younger generation.
Lin Che smiled and nodded solemnly, without saying anything more.
Some gratitude needs no words.
He gave the old captain a final salute, then squatted down slightly and suddenly tapped his toes against the cliff face!
Like an arrow released from a bow, he instantly covered several meters, his body drawing a graceful arc in the air.
His movements were fluid and without the slightest hesitation.
It landed steadily on the broad, thick back of the Warrior Eagle.
"Wow—!"
As if responding to its master's trust, the warrior eagle suddenly raised its head and let out a loud eagle cry that pierced through the clouds and split rocks!
The sound waves rolled out, briefly tearing apart the howling winds around them!
The next instant, its enormous wings, large enough to blot out the sun, suddenly unfolded and swung downwards!
boom!
An unparalleled, powerful gust of wind erupted, instantly shattering the rock beneath their feet. Countless fragments of rock were swept up by the gale and sent hurtling backward. The old captain was forced to retreat by the force of the wind and had to raise his arm to shield his eyes.
As he lowered his arm again, the figures of the man and the eagle had already transformed into a tiny black dot and soared into the thick clouds.
……
High above, the air currents are icy cold.
Lin Che lay on the back of the Warrior Eagle, feeling the steady yet powerful force beneath him.
This is an unprecedented experience.
The world receded rapidly beneath his feet; the rolling mountains and winding coastlines became mere lines on a map. Distances that once took days to traverse were now covered in mere moments.
This absolute freedom, this feeling of having the world at his feet, filled him with an indescribable surge of pride.
His ability to take action finally achieved a qualitative leap.
No longer limited by terrain, no longer dependent on ships, he could go anywhere in this vast world!
The Warrior Eagle reached its maximum speed, transforming into a streak of azure light as it flew straight and fast toward the mainland.
According to the markings on the map, the route ahead will pass through a sea area that all sailors consider an absolute no-go zone.
"Thunderstorms all year round".
This is a death zone that even seabirds dare not approach.
Lin Che's original plan was to bypass this area; there was no need to provoke such a purely natural hazard.
However, just as the Warriors Hawks were about to change course and detour.
A cold, sharp stinging sensation exploded in the depths of his mind without warning!
It is the Eye of Truth!
The detection function, which had been dormant since the last notification about the [Dragon Scale], suddenly erupted with an unprecedentedly strong alarm!
A pale blue virtual panel suddenly popped up in front of Lin Che's eyes and flickered violently!
