"I haven't seen it with my own eyes, but based on the descriptions from the hunters who escaped, its size is three times that of a normal Bone Eagle. Its feathers have a purplish-black metallic luster, and it can even control wind blades."

Back when the Black Wolf Den was in its prime, One-Eyed Wolf led an elite team of twenty people to explore Bone Eagle Cliff.

"As a result, they had just reached the edge of the northeastern area when they were driven out by an elite Bone Eagle leading a swarm of Bone Eagles. Six people died, and they never dared to set their sights on this place again."

Shadow Snake whispered from the shadows on the flank, "Intelligence records state that the materials dropped by the Bone Eagle King can be used to craft purple-quality bow weapons, and it even has a chance to drop a Rare Class Change Book."

Purple-quality materials. A Rare Class Change Book.

Lin Feng's gaze flickered, then he composed himself. A Level 17 Rare Boss—with the current strength of the three of them, they were still far too weak.

But it was not their target today.

"Therefore, we have chosen our hunting ground to the northeast of the Bone Eagle King, at the edge of the territory belonging to that Level 15 elite Bone Eagle."

Zhao Hu pointed to the towering, jagged ridge to the northeast.

"The activity range of the elite Bone Eagle over there is relatively fixed, and those wandering on the periphery are all normal Bone Eagles between levels 10 and 13. It's perfect for us to practice, and it's relatively safe."

"Agreed." Lin Feng gripped his Wildfire Spear tightly.

Half an hour later, the three of them stopped at the edge of a grayish-white cliff.

Ahead, the true face of Bone Eagle Cliff was finally fully revealed.

It was a jagged world composed of countless grayish-white boulders, wind-eroded rock pillars, and steep cliff walls.

The towering stone pillars looked like the skeletons of giants, piercing into the dark red sky.

The cliff walls were covered in caves of all sizes, with layers of white bird droppings and fragmented animal bones piled up at the edges of the entrances.

Even more striking was the sky.

Between the cliffs and the clouds, dozens of grayish-white shadows were circling and soaring.

Their wingspans were three to four meters wide, their skeletons jagged, covered with thin but tough grayish-white feathers. Their heads were bald, and their beaks were like curved hooks, gleaming with a cold metallic light.

Most terrifying of all were their eyes—there were no pupils, only two balls of «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» eerie green soulfire dancing in the hollow eye sockets, exactly the same as those of a Skeleton Soldier.

This was the Bone Eagle. A twisted combination of undead and beast, the hunters of the sky.

Lin Feng's gaze swept across them, and relying on his Lord's Perception, he quickly locked onto a few lone or small groups of Bone Eagles, ranging from Level 10 to Level 12.

"Zhao Hu, you take the front to draw aggro and use Iron Wall Body to withstand the first wave of dives. Shadow Snake, you flank them and attack the connection point between their wing roots and spines to reduce their mobility."

Lin Feng quickly assigned the tasks, "I'll handle the clearing, and then we'll take them out one by one."

"Understood!" Zhao Hu held his heavy shield in hand, and a thick, earthy-yellow halo shimmered on the surface of his guardian round shield—the core skill of a Heavy Shield Guard, 【Iron Wall Body】, had been activated!

His muscles suddenly bulged, earthy-yellow patterns faintly flowing beneath his skin, and he stood like a moving fortress!

"Come on, you beasts!" Zhao Hu roared, striking his guardian round shield with his bone-crushing greatsword, producing a dull, thunderous sound!

This provocative, thunderous sound immediately attracted three grayish-white shadows from the sky!

The three Level 12 Bone Eagles let out hoarse, grating screeches, folded their wings, and dove down from a hundred meters in the air like arrows released from a bowstring! Their talons tore through the air, emitting ear-piercing shrieks!

The first one dove down! Zhao Hu did not dodge or evade, raising his shield to meet it!

Clang—! The talons collided with the shield, sending sparks flying! The ground beneath Zhao Hu's feet cracked inch by inch, but his figure remained as immovable as a mountain!

A damage number of -42 floated above his head, but for someone with the Iron Wall Body shield, it was completely painless!

"Lord!" he roared through gritted teeth. Now was the time!

A fierce look flashed in Lin Feng's eyes. He pulled his Wildfire Spear from his back, the dark red spear shaft cutting through the gray-white world like a bolt of lightning tearing through the silence!

He didn't thrust; instead—he slammed it violently into the ground! 【Skill: Beacon Fire Prairies!】

Boom—! With the spear shaft as the center, a ring-shaped shockwave of fire with a radius of ten meters erupted!

The scorching flames swept outward in concentric circles, engulfing the Bone Eagle that had just landed and was preparing to take off again, as well as the two Bone Eagles that were about to dive!

-40! -39! -40! The flames splashed onto their sparse feathers and immediately set them ablaze!

The three Bone Eagles let out miserable screeches, their grayish-white feathers instantly turning charred black, and the eerie green soulfire in their eyes flickering violently!

More importantly, a pale red mark, faintly flowing like magma cracks, appeared on the surface of their bodies—【Prairie Fire Mark】!

For the next 60 seconds, any attack Lin Feng made against the marked targets would deal an additional 10% damage!

"Shadow Snake!" Lin Feng pulled out his spear, his figure already charging toward the smoking Bone Eagle on the far left like a ghost.

Shadow Snake did not respond, but her sharp claws had already silently sliced into the base of the left Bone Eagle's right wing!

Rip—! The tough wing membrane was torn by the eerie green claw blades! -60! The Bone Eagle lost its balance, flopping crookedly onto the ground, struggling desperately but unable to take flight again!

Lin Feng's spear tip had arrived. The Bone Eagle on the left, burned by Beacon Fire Prairies, was like paper in the face of Lin Feng's 19.8 Strength and the Wildfire Spear's 45 Attack Power.

Pfft! The spear tip pierced through the Bone Eagle's open, screeching beak and out the back of its head! The eerie green soulfire shattered like a broken lantern, exploding into a cluster of light points!

-152! (Critical Hit + Prairie Fire Mark damage bonus!)

【Killed Lv12 Bone Eagle, damage contribution 80%】 【Gained Experience: 240 (Total Experience 300 × 80%)】 The first one, dead!

The other two Bone Eagles realized they had encountered a tough opponent and flapped their charred wings, trying to take off and escape!

"Want to leave?" Lin Feng's eyes were cold as he swept his Wildfire Spear horizontally!

The dark red spear shaft drew a scorching arc in mid-air, the tip precisely striking the left wing joint of the second Bone Eagle!

Crack! Bone fracture! -150! (Prairie Fire Mark damage bonus triggered!)

The Bone Eagle plummeted with a miserable screech, and Zhao Hu's bone-crushing greatsword was already waiting below!

"Get down here!" Zhao Hu roared, his blade light like a streak of silk, slicing through the Bone Eagle's neck in one strike!

【Assisted in killing Lv12 Bone Eagle, gained 210 experience points】

The last one was already entangled by Shadow Snake. It tried to peck at Shadow Snake with its curved beak, but Shadow Snake was like a slippery loach.

She moved along its blind spots, her claws leaving deep, bone-visible wounds at the connection point between its sternum and spine.

Lin Feng stepped forward and delivered a simple, unadorned straight thrust, piercing into the Bone Eagle's eye socket.

-158! The third one, dead! 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

【Assisted in killing Lv12 Bone Eagle, gained 240 experience points】

From start to finish, the battle took less than thirty seconds. Three Level 12 Bone Eagles, completely wiped out.

Lin Feng flicked the blood and feather fragments off the spear tip, his breathing slightly quickened, but his eyes burned with excited battle intent.

"Continue." His voice was brief. "Zhao Hu, Shadow Snake, how is your status?"

Zhao Hu was panting heavily, but he was in high spirits: "The shield hasn't been broken yet, it's not an issue!"

Shadow Snake appeared from the shadows, her claw blades dripping with blood. She shook her head slightly, signaling she was unhurt.

"Good." Lin Feng looked at the many more grayish-white shadows circling on the cliff wall. "Today, we are going to slaughter our way through this northeastern corner."
