On such a steep cliff, Bai Xiaowen's summoned creatures could not perform well, so he focused on the role of the controller and also acted as a long-range attacker.
Han Xu was in charge of tanking the monsters. After Bai Xiaowen used the Deterrence skill to scare the young eagles, he held the eagle's claw tightly with one hand and raised his shield with the other. No matter how the young eagles beat him with their wings or tore him with their other claw, he would not let go.
Li Shuyi became the main attacker. With her high attack speed and high critical hit rate, she could kill the young eagles even if she did not activate the additional skill of the Demonic Fire Jade Pendant.
The three of them advanced quickly and climbed almost a hundred meters before long, reaching the first eagle's nest. The terrain here was much flatter. The steep angle of more than 70 degrees from the ground was now only about 40 degrees. With the ability of an Awakened, they could even run to the top of the cliff.
However, before Bai Xiaowen and the other two could breathe a sigh of relief, they heard a loud and sonorous screech. Then, a strong wind blew in their faces. An adult Golden-Crowned White Eagle with a wingspan of three to four meters was about as tall as a person. Its wings were like a guillotine.
Han Xu took a step sideways and raised his shield to block the attack.
Boom!
Han Xu's arm muscles bulged as he was pushed back by the force of the giant wings. His feet plowed two deep marks on the ground.
Bai Xiaowen quickly used his insight.
[Condor Leader's Mate (Leader Level 5)/Challenge Rating 12]
[Race: Beast/Flying Beast]
[Attributes: Strength 25, Agility 46, Constitution 28, Spirit 11]
[Skills: Capture (Flying Mode), Wing Beat (Ground Mode), Peck, Feather Attack]
"It seems that we have to kill the leader of the Golden-Crowned White Eagle before we can continue." Bai Xiaowen immediately made a judgment. If they went around it, the leader of the Golden-Crowned White Eagle would definitely use its flying mode to chase after them and harass them continuously. It would be a greater threat to the three of them.
Bai Xiaowen raised his hand, and all of his summoned creatures appeared, pushing towards the leader of the Golden-Crowned White Eagles.
This female White Eagle BOSS had a certain level of battle intelligence. Seeing that there were so many enemies, it immediately flapped its wings, exerted force in its legs and was about to soar into the sky.
Deterrence!
Bai Xiaowen used his crowd-control skill and interrupted the White Eagle's flight. Wrath Claw pounced forward and activated his ultimate skill [Suppress] and his buff skill [Howl]!
The female White Eagle Boss was knocked to the ground by the Wrath Claw. Five consecutive claw attacks were as fast as lightning, immediately adding a bleeding status. Bai Xiaowen and the others were enveloped in a layer of blood-red light as they attacked with all their might.
While the Wrath Claw was suppressing them with its ultimate skill, the Skeletal Shield Bearers pounced forward. Two of them grabbed the female White Eagle leader's claws, which were as thick as an adult's arm, while the other two climbed onto one of its wings.
Bai Xiaowen's strategy was very clear. He could not allow this extremely agile White Eagle Boss to fly. As a flying beast, its combat power would be reduced by at least half if it could not fly.
After a total of more than three seconds of suppression, the White Eagle Boss took a deep breath and pushed the Wrath Claw away with a screech. Its huge beak with a curved hook pecked at the speed of lightning!
The peck was so fast that even Bai Xiaowen could not react in time.
The Wrath Claw howled in pain and rolled on the ground. One of its eyes had become a horrifying bloody hole, and blood was flowing out. At this moment, Bai Xiaowen received a notification from the Spiritual Realm's Precepts.
"The Condor Lord's mate's [Peck] skill has been activated."
Even the extremely agile Wrath Claw could not dodge the peck, and the damage was extremely high.
If the peck landed on a vital part of the human body, it would definitely cause damage, especially Li Shuyi who had a weak body. He might not even have the chance to leave the treasure space and would be killed instantly.
"Continue."
Bai Xiaowen's expression did not change. He was as still as a rock. His calmness infected Li Shuyi and Han Xu. The two of them only paused for a moment before they continued to attack the White Eagle Boss.
Angry Claw was blinded in one eye, but his ferocious nature was aroused. He roared and pounced forward, biting the White Eagle Boss's chest. With a strong tug, the White Eagle Boss's feathers were forcefully torn off like snowflakes, and a small piece of flesh was also torn off.
The White Eagle Boss also howled in pain, and its head shrunk slightly. Bai Xiaowen's eyes suddenly flashed. He predicted this and ordered the Skeleton Mage to use [Lightning Throw], which had been accumulating power for a long time!
The sound of electricity was heard, and the White Eagle Boss's Health Points decreased by another chunk. Its [Peck] skill was forcefully interrupted! Han Xu could even feel the evil wind blowing against his face. If it were not for Bai Xiaowen, he would most likely follow in the footsteps of the Wrath Claw and be blinded in one eye.
Although the psionic particles would automatically repair the body's damage, including injuries and disabilities, when traversing between planes. However, being blinded was obviously not a pleasant experience.
This interruption also increased Han Xu's confidence in Bai Xiaowen. Seeing the White Eagle Boss flapping its wings, he did not consider retreating at all. He used [Heavy Shield Bash] without hesitation and actually interrupted the White Eagle Boss's [Wing Bash] skill.
Bai Xiaowen was a little surprised. He did not expect Han Xu's reaction speed to be so fast.
The three of them, together with their summoned creatures, surrounded and attacked the White Eagle Boss for a few minutes. During this time, Bai Xiaowen used his Deterrence and Talisman Switch skills once each. Li Shuyi also activated [Demonic Fire Dance]. The White Eagle Boss's Health Points decreased rapidly. After being damaged by Li Shuyi's [Demonic Fire Jade Pendant], it was only left with a sliver of Health Points.
With a high-pitched and shrill cry, the White Eagle Boss's body exploded with strong air waves. The feathers on the surface of its body expanded like a balloon.
"This is an AoE skill! Han Xu, use your shield to defend. Shuyi, hide behind! "
Bai Xiaowen gave a simple command. The Skeleton Swordsmen all squatted down and held their round shields on both sides of Han Xu. They were in a defensive posture. Meanwhile, the Wrath Claw, the Shadow Assassin, the Skeleton Mage, and other creatures hid behind the Skeleton Swordsmen.
Chi chi chi chi …
Feather after feather shot out like sharp arrows with astonishing force! When they hit Han Xu, each of them caused close to 10 points of damage. When they hit the Skeleton Swordsmen, the damage exceeded 15 points.
Fortunately, the Skeleton Swordsmen's racial passive ability, [Hollow Skeleton], gave them a 10% dodge rate against piercing attacks. They managed to dodge some of the feathers.
After the White Eagle Boss's [Feather Attack] skill ended, it looked like a plucked hen. It was bald and ugly. However, it was undeniable that the damage of this skill was astonishing. The four Skeleton Swordsmen all had low Health Points. Han Xu's Health Points were also reduced by half. He took the most damage.
