Chapter 29: Bipedal Flying Dragon (Seeking Recommendations)

  "Come on! You puppies of the Black Bear Tribe, being able to chase me here is already quite an accomplishment for you!"

  As soon as the sound of the mountain fell, a strange "hiss" sound came from the ground, and the land beside the eagle suddenly collapsed, forming a huge pit. A giant beast claw covered with thick moss emerged from the deep pit, grasping like an eagle's claw!

  Mang Shan's face changed drastically, and he only had time to shout "Be careful!" before the beast's claws came at them with a gust of evil wind, almost touching Eagle's face! But this young man's expression didn't change, his entire body suddenly bursting out with a layer of blood light that seemed to have substance, like sharp blades, unmatched in ferocity. In an instant, it sliced open several narrow wounds on the beast's claws, spewing out a sky full of blood. At this moment, something strange happened - the spewed-out blood was pulled by an invisible force, not only did it not splatter everywhere and fall to the ground, but instead, it paused in mid-air before flying back, being completely absorbed by the blood light on Eagle's body. With a loud boom! This layer of blood light suddenly ignited like flames, carrying a strong bloody aura, spreading outwards.

  That massive beast claw missed its mark, but instead suffered a severe counterattack. The enormous body hidden underground convulsed wildly, letting out a deafening roar! The earth suddenly collapsed in many places, while other areas rose high, the land cracked and burst open, as if something was about to emerge from it!

  "Ghost Banner, Forbidden Dragon!" The eagle's chest heaved violently as it let out a thunderous roar, rivaling the terrifying beast's howl. The young barbarian leapt high into the air, his hands spinning two circles of chain at incredible speed. He then slammed them down towards the ground, the chains and the short knives tied to their ends piercing the earth. In an instant, they stood straight up, the eagle still hovering in mid-air, its movements incredibly fierce as it pulled out the giant beast from the depths of the earth!

  "What is this? Blood Flame, Forbidden Blood Flame!? Eagle, when did you learn this?! Why didn't you tell me?" Mang Shan looked at his nephew in shock, his expression changing as he couldn't help but ask the High Priest: "You already knew about it, didn't you? This forbidden technique should have been taught to him by you too, right? Why didn't you tell me?"

  "It was this child who came to me to learn." The high priest looked at Mangshan and said calmly: "He has grown up, you don't need to protect him like before. This is not good for a child's growth. He now has his own thoughts and pursuits. What he needs is the true trial of blood, the desire to be recognized and praised by others. Not always living under the wings of his parents, becoming a useless waste."

  Mang Shan was momentarily speechless, arguing: "But you can't teach him this forbidden technique either, it's too dangerous. If something goes wrong, how can I explain to my deceased brother?"

  The high priest snorted: "You're a good person, but you lack the boldness and decisiveness of a superior. How can an eaglet living under the eagle's wing become a qualified hunter? Think about your brother, how he died! The Barbarian Empire wants to re-establish itself, it needs not only strong military power, but also a king like your brother who has responsibility and leadership ability!"

  In just a few moments, the eagle had completely pulled the giant beast out of the ground. Despite its desperate struggles, it could not escape from the eagle's grasp. The two seemingly ordinary short knives were now like a pair of demonic blades that had been tempered by an evil black wizard for countless years, continuously absorbing blood from the giant beast and transmitting it to the eagle through the flying flames. This made the young man's power grow stronger and stronger, gradually suppressing the fiercely struggling giant beast.

  A shrill whistle suddenly came from among the giant trees in the distance, and a flurry of wingbeats erupted somewhere in the Gaya Rainforest. More than a dozen barbarians wearing beast hides burst out of hiding, killing intent radiating from them as they charged forward, with a hail of arrows shooting towards Mangshan and the High Priest's group.

  These arrow rains are actually not accurate, in fact they are some thin things like bamboo sticks, launched by a disposable blowpipe. Although small, but with the advantage of being extremely numerous, and these arrowheads are all dyed with a mixture of several toxic substances, once hit, the toxicity will immediately erupt, and within 3-4 seconds can take your life. Ordinary people have no way to rescue.

  But these so-called arrow rains, or the barbarian warriors who came to launch a surprise attack, were far inferior to the violent stirring of the rainforest above, like the sound of a helicopter rotor cutting through the air! Accompanied by a clear and sharp howl, two giant beasts with curved horns, long necks, and fat bodies descended from the sky, their bellies only growing a pair of lion-like giant feet. They roared as they flew into the battlefield. To say that these two giant beasts were quite peculiar in appearance, their claws were like those of flying birds, sharp beyond compare, their front legs had degenerated and merged with their wings, covered in a layer of green scales, and their bodies shook with a bony long tail, but it was shaped like a reverse thorn!

  "My god, what is this! Is this really the high-level Double-Footed Flying Dragon?! Wow, these black devils are going to harm us, and there are so many enemies!" Old Liu's eyes were bulging out, not from excitement but from being scared. It seemed that following them for a short distance had already attracted so many strong enemies. In this case, would he still have peaceful days in the future? Old Liu, who was muttering to himself, knew that he couldn't participate in such a high-level battle and very consciously gathered his underlings to prepare to flee. But unexpectedly, the High Priest, that old scoundrel, smiled slightly and suddenly turned to him: "My tribe is facing great danger, where are you planning to go? According to the contract, aren't you supposed to fight these enemies with us?"

  "Damn it! Old man, you're crazy, these high-level demons are not something I can handle!" Lao Liu cursed in his heart. Just as he was about to retreat, a sudden and intense shockwave transmitted into his mind, the law of the Sky Dragon's legacy branding an irresistible idea that seemed to remind him not to violate the contract's agreement, or else he would suffer the punishment of having his soul erased. Lao Liu had no choice but to obediently return, though in his heart he was already cursing up a storm, asking for the ancestors of the Great Priest to be cursed eighteen generations back. On his face, however, he maintained a composed and dignified expression, saying: "That's right, I'll defend the Barbarian tribe to the death. Brothers, get ready (thinking to himself, 'get ready my ass, slow down, best if you drag it out until the battle ends')! Follow me into battle!"

  At this time, Mangshan also took action. This guy somehow pulled out a black and shiny hatchet from somewhere, made a horizontal slash in the air, and suddenly cut out an arc-shaped knife light similar to a half-moon slash, instantly turning a burst of arrow rain into fragments. This middle-aged barbarian, who looked honest and kind, was even more unstoppable when he exerted his power. He pulled off the animal skin on his body, revealing his strong physique covered with tattoos of insects and beasts as well as countless scars on his upper body. After leaving a cool sentence: "You few stay here to protect the high priest." He had already rushed out among the crowd and clashed with a two-legged flying dragon that broke through the air.

  Another two-legged flying dragon followed closely, originally intending to surround Mangshan with its companions and eliminate the enemy that posed a great threat to itself. Unexpectedly, another short whistle came from the depths of the forest, causing this two-legged flying dragon to pause, turn around and fly towards the High Priest!

  "Go, little guy, kill this two-legged flying dragon for me!" The high priest suddenly pointed at the terrifying creature flying towards them and said to Old Liu, who was at a loss.

  "Wait! I'll go deal with those barbarians. They're numerous!" Old Liu shouted, and the High Priest understood him, snapping his fingers to make Old Liu involuntarily fly out and block the path that the Twin-Clawed Flying Dragon must take.

  Although the Bipedal Flying Dragon can't rank among the top-tier magical beasts, it's still a powerful creature listed among the higher ranks. It naturally has its own pride. Now seeing a small mid-tier magical insect daring to block its path and making moves as if to attack it, for a moment it couldn't help but rage. Its neck wriggled, suddenly opening its mouth to spew out a dense cyan-colored gas wave. This was their signature technique - the Poison Dragon's Breath!
