Chapter 1121: Chapter 1121: 7th Order Eagle Queen
Ye You’s expression grew solemn. Jiu Ge was in the west, i Ji in the east, and several Blood Eagles spread out, encircling Ye You and his group.
Surrounded by opponents of similar strength, Ye You had little chance of breaking through. Behind him, Qing Xun and Yun Wang also fell into silence, their expressions heavy as they scanned the enemies around them.
Just then, a resounding cry echoed from nearby. Everyone looked up to see a Blood Eagle, taller and more robust than the others, flying toward them.
The faces of Ye You’s party instantly turned dark. The opponent had reinforcents, and their Divine Sense detected faint purple energy emanating from this blood eagle—shockingly, it was a Seventh Order Magic God, equivalent to a human Demon Emperor.
Against opponents of comparable strength, Ye You might still manage a fight. But a Demon Emperor’s level was ultimately one full tier higher, a gulf in power far beyond his ability to bridge. As for Qing Xun, Qin Sisi, and the others, there was no question they were no match.
That largest Blood Eagle, accompanied by two Sixth Order Blood Eagles, swooped down. People present noticed sothing strange: this Blood Eagle only used one wing to fly, while the other remained tightly folded.
Upon closer inspection, they clearly saw an egg clutched beneath its folded wing. The egg was enormous, nearly basketball-sized, with a faint pink hue.
i Ji asked excitedly, "Eagle Queen, you’ve laid an egg?"
As the Clan Leader of the Changkong family, i Ji was aware the Eagle Queen, leader of the Blood Eagle flock at Soul-breaking Cliff, was pregnant.
Blood Eagle reproduction was incredibly difficult. A female Blood Eagle’s gestation lasted three years, during which it could lay only a single egg. A young Blood Eagle required ticulous care for the first few years to grow up successfully.
The Eagle Queen had already been pregnant for three years. The egg-laying day was imminent; i Ji had planned to visit tomorrow to offer congratulations but hadn’t expected the egg to be born today.
The Eagle Queen seed displeased with i Ji, letting out a sharp cry at her.
Blood Eagles were ancestors of the Changkong family. Every incoming Clan Leader had to kneel for nine days in the ancestral shrine when taking their position, a ritual that granted them the ability to communicate with Blood Eagles.
When the new Clan Leader gained this ability, the old leader’s connection to the Blood Eagles would automatically fade.
At this mont, i Ji, the current Clan Leader, possessed the power to communicate with the Blood Eagles. Upon hearing the Eagle Queen’s cry, i Ji’s complexion turned pale, then green, and finally black with fury.
"You... you killed so many of my Blood Eagles! I will slaughter you all!" i Ji snarled at Ye You’s group, flipping her palms and releasing nearly all her Magic power, generating a hundred-ter-high hurricane that engulfed Ye You and his party.
At the sa ti, the Blood Eagles surrounding Ye You’s group also launched their attacks, flapping their powerful wings incessantly.
Only Jiu Ge remained motionless, his eyes reflecting deep worry. He knew Qin Sisi must be near Ye You.
"Magic Mist!"
"Flying Sand Stones!"
"Lightning Shield Dodge!"
Almost simultaneously, Qing Xun, Yun Wang, and Ye You unleashed their most proficient intrinsic Attribute Magic Skills. In an instant, the surroundings transford into a foggy sea of white mist. Then, fierce winds mixed with sand and stones rampaged everywhere, making it impossible to stand upright or see clearly.
Taking advantage of the confusion created by Qing Xun and Yun Wang, Ye You grabbed their clothes and deployed Lightning Shield Dodge. He didn’t forget the unconscious Yun Cheng—he first flashed to Jiu Ge, pulled Yun Cheng close, and then leaped toward the distance.
No matter how dense Qing Xun’s Magic Mist was or how chaotic Yun Wang’s Flying Sand Stones beca, they didn’t hinder Ye You’s vision, granting him a significant advantage in this encounter.
However, the imnse strength of a Seventh Order Demonic Beast equating to a Demon Emperor ant Ye You’s attempt fell short. The others and the Blood Eagles were still blocked by the effects of Magic Mist and Flying Sand Stones, unable to pursue Ye You effectively. The Eagle Queen, though also unable to see clearly, sensed the subtle airflow and pinpointed Ye You’s escape direction.
The next mont, the Eagle Queen dashed forward. Wind Attribute Beasts inherently excelled in speed, especially one at the Seventh Order level.
Ye You had barely escaped a few hundred ters before the Eagle Queen intercepted him. With a fierce flap of its wing, Ye You’s Lightning Shield Dodge slowed and eventually halted in front of the Eagle Queen.
The Eagle Queen raised its head high, staring coldly at Ye You and the three people around him.
Yun Wang was supporting Yun Cheng, feeding him several pills. Yun Cheng finally woke up. Seeing the situation before him, he quickly entered combat mode, drawing his weapon and standing beside Ye You.
After this brief delay, the effects of the Magic Mist and Flying Sand Stones began to dissipate significantly. i Ji and her group quickly located Ye You’s position and hurried toward them.
Ye You’s mood sank heavily. His earlier Lightning Shield Dodge succeeded only because it was unexpected. Now, with the enemy alerted, the odds of pulling it off again were greatly reduced.
The Eagle Queen fixed its gaze on Ye You and his companions, letting out a sharp cry and lifting its wings high.
Although Ye You and his group couldn’t understand the Eagle Queen’s words, they could guess. It was undoubtedly saying, "Die."
Intense Wind Attribute Magic power gathered in its massive wings, a Seventh Order Demonic Beast attack equivalent to that of a Demon Emperor was about to strike Ye You and his party.
Suddenly, the Eagle Queen’s body trembled. The Magic power accumulating in its wings stopped condensing and began to disperse.
It let out a long, piercing cry, abruptly turned, and flapped forcefully toward its rear. There was an audible cry of pain as the Invisible Bubble shattered—Qin Sisi plumted quickly, blood already dripping from the corner of her mouth.
While the Eagle Queen was intercepting Ye You and his group, Qin Sisi had relied on the cover of an Invisible Bubble to circle around behind the Eagle Queen, unleashing her most potent Fire Attribute Magic skill, "Phoenix Fire Descent," in a stealth attack.
She had previously obtained the Jade lting Pill from Jiu Ge, purging the toxins from her body and fully restoring her Magic power.
However, she was only a Magic Spirit. If the Eagle Queen had been in peak condition, even a successful ambush wouldn’t have inflicted serious harm.
But the Eagle Queen’s egg-laying process had drained imnse stamina and Magic power—it had struggled in its nest for three days and nights to deliver the egg, leaving its body nearly exhausted.
It should have been resting, but upon learning of the slaughter of so many companions, it couldn’t suppress its rage. After just a few hours of rest, it set out for revenge, accompanied by two Blood Eagle guards.
anwhile, Qin Sisi, unable to practice due to poisoning, had been living comfortably in the Clan Leader’s Mansion of the Changkong family—effectively lying in wait compared to the Eagle Queen.
Though her Phoenix Fire Descent wasn’t enough to deal a fatal blow, it still inflicted substantial damage on the already weakened Eagle Queen, preventing it from unleashing its attack on Ye You and his group.
