Chapter 45 - Eagle's Nest

At the moment when the battle ended, there seemed to be a sense of disappointment in my heart. I felt even more aggrieved towards the players of the Eagle Cult. If they could still remember what happened at the moment when the Archmage was about to be killed, I wonder what kind of reaction they would have?

However, my thoughts were immediately interrupted. Thousands of players around me charged towards the center of the battlefield, their target: the equipment on the ground.

Honey also rushed up. I looked at Bai Yu and smiled wryly. These people, they were simply heartless. They died so tragically, yet you guys were still picking up their discarded things.

However, thinking about selling the equipment dropped by the Kazakh tribe members and making money, it was equally despicable.

Come to think of it, nowadays, players who don't exchange cash for game currency are still quite poor. One silver item is worth half a gold coin. Not to pick it up is worse than not picking it up at all.

In the center of the battlefield, suddenly it became chaotic. Some started fighting, and soon it escalated into increasingly intense PvP. Honey sensed the danger and ran back in a hurry.

Now that these people were fighting, there was nothing interesting to watch. The three of us headed towards the secret passage.

At this time, eagles had already appeared in the sky. We kept looking for the evil eagles while moving forward. Two hours later, we reached the secret passage.

In the room, only the one who was specifically guarding the air vents was online. However, since he couldn't level up alone, he had to stay there to learn the murals.

In the room, we left a note for King Chico of the Tiger Clan. The four of us went out to level up first. To tell the truth, the "writing technique" of leaving a note was something they had never seen before. They were all envious of me.

Unconsciously, another hour passed, and Chico finally logged in.

I asked everyone to wait for me, and I briefly explained to Chico that we needed to pass the Stone Eagle. I mounted my horse, ran back to the Eagle Town, and used the teleportation array to return to the Lost Village, depositing the Stone Eagle at my home.

Returning to Eagle Town, finding everyone was after eleven o'clock, the Tiger King had also sobered up and logged in.

Looking up at the sky, the eagle flock seemed to have decreased significantly. It seemed that the Stone Eagle was indeed the reason for the eagles to gather.

I and Bai Yu decided to hurry up and kill more evil eagles to earn achievements. The Tiger King and the other two took Chico to other places to level up.

I have never been a talkative person, and when I'm with Bai Yu, it's even more silent. Time seemed so long. Just then, a ringing sound came from my ears.

Surprised, I listened to the system prompt: "Someone has pressed the wake-up button on your helmet. Do you want to exit the game now?" 

The wake-up button is for people in reality to find players. The other call button rings when someone is looking for you to talk.

But, how could someone be looking for me? Could it be that the cleaning lady accidentally touched the button?

I hesitated for a moment and said, "Bai Yu, I need to log out for a while."

Bai Yu said, "I'm going to eat." Then he logged out first.

After logging out, a melody immediately filled my ears. It felt familiar. After thinking for a long time, it turned out to be an old song: "Fairy Tale." In our era, if someone sang such old-fashioned songs, they would be laughed at to death. The girlfriend would turn against you. In 2030, the popular songs were violent and pornographic. It was a competition of whose voice was louder and whose performance was more passionate. Usually, the popular singers who could shout for a year without a bad voice were considered national treasures.

This "Fairy Tale" song, if not for the "Death God & Trash Group" covering it, I would never have known. I never expected that someone could find the original version.

At this time, a soft voice whispered in my ear: "Chen Jun, my name is Zhao Xue'er. Can you hear me? I talked to you for a long time yesterday. Maybe you didn't hear me. Later, I realized that if you were in the game, you couldn't hear me. So, today I pressed the wake-up ring first. Can you hear me now?" 

The voice entered my mind through my ears, making me feel itchy. I really wanted to shout to her: "I'm listening! Such a beautiful voice, how could I not hear it!" Zhao Xue'er continued, "Well, since I'm still in my internship and don't want others to say that I'm relying on family connections, I work very hard every day. I can only come to spend time with you during lunchtime. However, I've selected many songs for you, and I set them to play for you for half an hour each time. Will you find it noisy? I don't know what kind of music you like. The old songs I chose are all the ones I think are pleasant to listen to."

As she spoke, there seemed to be someone calling her outside. Zhao Xue'er responded and said to me, "I'll be leaving today. You should take care and don't stay in the game all day long."

The footsteps faded away. My heart was filled with sadness. What a wonderful girl! If my girlfriend had been as gentle as this before, it would have been great. 555555555. I slowly listened to "Fairy Tale". Before, whenever I heard an emotional song, I would throw it aside. But these were the songs that my beautiful angel Zhao Xue'er liked. I had to listen carefully.

"Have you forgotten how long it has been since I haven't heard your voice telling me your favorite story?"

Ah, ungratefully, I recalled my former girlfriend. To tell the truth, I haven't heard her chatter for over twenty years.

"I wish to become the angel you love in the fairy tale. Open my hands and turn into wings to protect you..." Oh, could it be that this is what Zhao Xue'er's angel wanted to say to me? Whew, I'm so happy!

Lost in the world of music, an hour passed in an instant. I reluctantly entered the game world.

Bai Yu was sitting on the ground slowly carving wood. It turned out that he was a carpenter. Looking at the hundreds of long arrows he had carved with his professional carpenter knife, he had been here for a long time.

I picked up one and it was actually a silver-level arrow. Amazing! It's possible to make such a level of arrow from wood. It's so powerful. I've also done it before. With better wood, I could only make copper-level arrows.

Looking up at the sky, I couldn't find a flying eagle anymore. I was ecstatic. The stone eagle really worked!

However, the system didn't prompt us to complete the task. There must still be evil eagles out there. We searched around, but the sky remained empty.

In front of us was a mountain peak, seemingly the highest one nearby. Bai Yu suddenly pointed: "Nest."

I was stunned for a moment: "What?"

Bai Yu shook his head helplessly: "Eagle nest..."

Ah, with this Bai Yu, you need strong judgment and imagination skills...

We climbed up the cliff. Sure enough, there was a huge eagle nest here. The shooter's eyesight was good, and it was impossible for me, with my 1-level vision, to notice it.

Bai Yu suddenly grabbed me and saw from the eagle nest, a huge evil eagle slowly standing up. Bai Yu surveyed it and said solemnly: "46!"

46 level. This was the highest level of evil eagle we had seen. Why didn't it fly away like other eagles? Its appearance seemed a bit weak. We cautiously attacked it, but for some reason, this eagle was very weak. The two of us worked together for a few minutes and killed it.

Suddenly, an eagle's cry was heard. Another evil eagle flew over from a distance. Its claws were still holding a dog.

It turned out that the evil eagle had run out of food and had to go to the town to catch livestock. But this eagle had actually passed the town's protection shield?

Before Bai Yu could investigate, I had already found out: "Evolve evil eagle, 50 level."

Usually, the level of monster bosses is 5 or 6 levels higher than their Similar type. This evil eagle was not far from the boss. Maybe, not long from now, it would evolve into a boss.

In the battle against the Niu Shou God, facing a monster of the Warcraft level with its ability reduced by half, we didn't dare to attack. Now, do we two have the ability to kill it?

I shouted loudly: "Xuan Gui, Armorize!" I held the shield in front of the white feather, while a gust of wind spell was cast. The purpose of this spell was to slow down the speed of the evil eagle. Judging from its agility, although it was holding onto a prey, it was much faster than me.

The gust of wind hit the evolved evil eagle, reducing his health by 40 points. Meanwhile, the "Five-Star Arrow Formation" of the white feather also hit the target, showing "-70, -70, -100, -70, MISS". Amazing!

However, the "Five-Star Arrow Formation" consumed a considerable amount of MP. Only the variant elf archer with high MP like the white feather could use it twice in succession. Then, he would have to take medicine.

The evil eagle had already seen the other eagle we had killed. It let out a furious roar, threw down the dog, and vigorously flapped its wings, sending dozens of wind blades towards me.

There was no time to dodge. I was hit by more than ten wind blades. Although I had the shield and the protective cover of the outfit, I still lost over 400 health!

Terrifying! We know that the monsters can attack in groups with magic. But we never expected that the evil eagle would concentrate the group attack magic originally intended for a dozen people onto me alone! Oh, right. The intelligent level of the monsters above the elf is quite high. It's unlikely that it learned this battle tactic from the "Five-Star Arrow Formation" of the white feather, right? Stunned.

It's incredibly powerful. If the white feather was hit once, even if he was 11 levels higher than me, he probably wouldn't be able to withstand it.
