36: Chapter 36 Armor-Piercing Grenade

"That's the White-Feathered Giant Eagle!"

A powerful wind pressure descended. As the massive creature in the sky gradually approached, the people on the mountain peak lost their voices in shock!

"How is this possible?! Since when did the White-Feathered Giant Eagle get so big!"

Young Master Wang, the rich second-generation heir, slumped directly onto the ground! His eyes were glazed over!

In the live stream videos from a few days ago, the White-Feathered Giant Eagle's size hadn't even been as large as the Golden Eagle that just attacked them, but now...

The White-Feathered Giant Eagle's size was at least two or three times larger than the Golden Eagle!

Looking up from below, it was practically the size of a glider from the human world!

What made Young Master Wang, the Mercenary Captain, and the other mercenary even more desperate was that the previous Golden Eagle had already been so difficult to deal with. Now, this White-Feathered Giant Eagle far surpassed the Golden Eagle in both size and the terrifying aura it radiated. What were they supposed to do now?!

The mercenary codenamed Lao San looked up in despair at the massive figure descending from the sky, his legs trembling as he approached the Mercenary Captain's side.

"Captain, I feel like rifle bullets might not be enough to deal with this White-Feathered Giant Eagle..."

The Mercenary Captain nodded. "Regardless, we have to try the rifles at close range first..."

"Don't worry, I have a trump card. We will definitely leave this place alive!"

"Okay!"

Boom! The ground trembled!

At that moment, Ye Yang also descended from the sky onto the mountain peak.

He saw three humans on the summit, and by the cave entrance lay the bloody corpse of a Golden Eagle in a pool of blood.

"The aura is similar... Is this the Golden Eagle that escaped?"

His golden pupils flashed, then his gaze drifted toward the two fully armed men about a dozen meters away.

Judging by their appearance, they didn't look like people of Great Xia. Could they be foreign soldiers or mercenaries?

However, what Ye Yang cared about more was that the assault rifles held by these two humans did not give him any sense of crisis.

He wasn't some ignorant animal; in his consciousness, he knew and understood the power of conventional human weaponry!

Yet his physical intuition sharply informed him that rifles did not possess the power to cause him harm!

"Fire! Quick!"

Although they didn't know why this massive White-Feathered Giant Eagle had stood still without moving after landing at the cave entrance, that didn't stop the mercenaries from firing!

Rat-tat-tat!

Brass bullets several centimeters long formed lines in the air, blanketing toward Ye Yang's body!

"Hmm? Are these bullets?"

His golden pupils narrowed; Ye Yang could actually clearly see the trajectory of the bullets in the air!

His body's reactions were even faster, capable of dodging the bullet attacks.

But he didn't dodge. He swung his wings open to shield his body...

Clang! Clatter!

Accompanied by several crisp sounds, a shower of sparks flickered, and a few feathers fell...

"How can this be?! Why can't rifle bullets hurt this giant bird!"

Mercenary Lao San cried out in shock!

He had never imagined such a situation. One had to realize these weren't weak prop rifles from a movie, but live ammunition capable of piercing a twenty-centimeter wall or several millimeters of steel plate!

Furthermore, the target, the White-Feathered Giant Eagle, was less than thirty meters away from them. The penetration power of the rifle bullets should only be more terrifying!

Yet the White-Feathered Giant Eagle in front of them had only lost a few feathers!

The Mercenary Captain and Young Master Wang were also dumbfounded. They stood there with wide eyes, looking at the massive White-Feathered Giant Eagle in disbelief, their brains grinding to a halt...

Ye Yang retracted his snow-white wings, which had a five-meter span, and joy welled up in his Golden Eagle eyes.

"I didn't expect to be this powerful already! Even automatic rifles can't hurt me!"

It would be a lie to say he wasn't nervous when he decided to stand still and test being hit by bullets just now; he simply wanted to test his physical intuition.

As it turned out, his physical intuition was very accurate. His wings only felt like they were being struck sharply by pointed objects. Aside from losing a few feathers, his body was completely unharmed.

The reason for his nervousness just now was likely the fear of firearms he carried from his past life as a human.

As for... if his body could be harmed by the rifle bullets before him, there was no need to worry.

Ye Yang's current physical strength was capable of bursting with several tons at the very least. To withstand such immense power, his body necessarily had to be robust.

Rifle bullets hitting his body would, at most, cause him to bleed or suffer minor injuries.

Glancing at the three stunned people nearby, he turned and walked toward the cave. In his mind now, even humans holding long guns posed no threat to him.

He could treat them entirely as air. The urgent matter now was to see if his precious white jade bamboo inside the cave was alright.

When he saw that the white jade bamboo was intact inside the cave, he breathed a sigh of relief.

If he had lost the white jade bamboo after going out for a trip, he would truly have wanted to cry.

"Fortunately... the white jade bamboo is fine."

"That Golden Eagle actually dared to ignore my aura and enter the cave. It really had some nerve!"

Seeing that the cave was once again filled with animal carcasses and black droppings as before, as well as human remains and bloodstains on the ground.

"Sigh, I have to clean it all over again..."

...

Outside the cave, Young Master Wang was still paralyzed with fear from the scene just now.

The Mercenary Captain and Mercenary Lao San snapped out of it after a few breaths.

Both of their large faces were completely bloodless.

Mercenary Lao San's lips trembled. "Captain! That monster entered the cave... Let's get out of here quickly!"

The Mercenary Captain swallowed hard, panting heavily, his bloodshot eyes glaring at Mercenary Lao San!

"If you want to die or become food for that monster bird, then go ahead and leave!"

"Ah..."

Mercenary Lao San realized just how fast the White-Feathered Giant Eagle was. Even if they were given an hour's head start, they couldn't possibly escape the giant eagle's hunt!

"Then... Captain, what should we do!"

"Naturally, we have to kill this White-Feathered Giant Eagle. Only then can we survive..."

"But how can we possibly kill it with just the weapons in our hands..."

Mercenary Lao San started to speak, then his eyes widened as he looked at the object in the Captain's hand, his face filling with joy!

"Captain! How did you manage to bring this thing into Great Xia!"

What the Mercenary Captain was holding was a green, oval-shaped grenade!

And it was an armor-piercing grenade with immense explosive power, far exceeding that of a standard fragmentation grenade!

The Mercenary Captain's face was full of cold sneers. He didn't answer, because now that the White-Feathered Giant Eagle had entered the cave, they had to hurry.

Snap!

He triggered the armor-piercing grenade's fuse and, two seconds later, threw it with all his might!

The explosive grenade flew straight into the cave...

Inside the cave, Ye Yang suddenly felt a massive sense of crisis. He turned around, and his golden pupils constricted!

He saw a grenade flying toward him!

He was so scared his soul almost jumped out of his body!

Fortunately, the cave was huge; he could completely rely on his speed to fly out!

Just as he was about to bolt out of the cave, he suddenly froze.

Because the white jade bamboo was still in the cave, and he couldn't just stand by and lose a treasure like that.

Suddenly, staring at the rapidly approaching grenade, his eyes lit up!
