Chapter 444: Battle in the Sky (I)

Black Giant Eagle, a third-order demon beast-level bird!

This bird of prey is pitch black, except that its eyes are blood-red, its left and right wings spread out for thirty or forty meters, more than half of the size of a flying ship, and its hawk's beak is like a hook and eagle's claws are sharp, making it an extremely difficult aerial hunter.

The Black Giant Eagle is also one of the few monsters that can fly above the clouds!

There were a total of four Black Giant Eagles encountered by the Skyship, and they were launching a surprise attack on the Skyship from different directions.

These black eagles appeared extremely suddenly.

I don't know if it's the flying ship as a prey, or the intruder who broke into his own territory, but he just started fighting anyway.

Wow~

A giant black eagle suddenly opened its beak and let out a sharp chirp.

The sailors standing on the deck all showed painful expressions, some had distorted faces, some subconsciously covered their ears and squatted down, and some couldn't help but scream.

Sonic attack is one of the Black Giant Eagle's innate abilities!

Wow!唳!唳~

The sound did not disappear, and the four black giant eagles took turns to release sound waves at the flying boat.

Misery for the sailors.

These sailors were in charge of the ballista, and with the interference of the Black Eagle's abilities, it was obvious that they could not fight back.

At this moment, the old wizard appeared on the deck, and without thinking, he raised the staff in his hand.

The next moment, the head of the staff bloomed with a clear light, instantly enveloping a large area of the upper deck.

Also shrouded in all the sailors.

The sound waves emitted by the black eagle were immediately cut off, and the sailors immediately returned to normal, and hurriedly loaded the ballista with crossbow arrows as fast as possible.

A total of seven ballistae were mounted on board the ship, arranged at the bow and on the left and right sides of the deck, and three people were required to work together to load the nearly four-meter-long crossbow into the arrow slots, and then wind them up to aim.

Collapse!

With a muffled cracking sound, a crossbow bolt that glowed with cold light shot out at an alarming speed.

The three-edged metal arrow made of black iron pointed directly at a black giant eagle that was approaching a flying ship!

The worst sailors on the flying ship are also elite warriors, although they can't resist the divine power attack from a third-order demon bird by relying on their own strength, as long as they are given the opportunity to shoot, they can still play their due role with the help of weapons and equipment.

The nearly four-meter-long crossbow bolt swept over a distance of more than 100 meters in the blink of an eye, and when it was about to hit the target, the black giant eagle suddenly made a sideways movement.

Narrowly and narrowly avoided this powerful and sharp crossbow arrow!

Only a few eagle feathers were wiped off.

Collapse! Collapse!

Several other ballistas followed suit, and one after another shot their bolts were fired at the incoming Black Eagle.

However, these black eagles were just as cunning and quick to react, dodging the crossbow bolts before they could get close.

"Aim point!"

The boatswain, who was in charge of directing the battle, saw that the ballista was useless, and he jumped to his feet in a hurry.

The ballistae and bolts are custom-made, and the cost of manufacturing a crossbow is very high, and the sailors are actually playing strings of shellfish.

If you can shoot the Black Eagle, then it will be worth the extra crossbow arrows.

The problem is that dozens of valuable crossbow arrows have been fired, and nothing has been gained.

It's hard to accept.

The most important thing is that the number of crossbow arrows is not infinite, and once it is depleted, the airship loses an important means of defense, how to deal with the rest of the journey?

The sailors who operated the ballista were all sweating profusely and a little upset.

Seeing the four terrifying black giant eagles surrounding the flying ship, all they could do was to make the former dare not get too close, and the anxiety and depression in their hearts can be imagined!

The Black Eagle has agility that doesn't match its size, has excellent evasion skills, and continues to cast sonic attacks while dodging crossbow arrows.

Be patient!

In such a situation, the old wizard can only continue to maintain his defensive spells.

It is impossible to free up his hands to participate in the counterattack against the Black Giant Eagle.

As for his apprentice Tuming, he didn't dare to come out of the cabin at all.

This kind of battle is not something that a mere shaman can join.

This one is still a little self-aware.

At the same time, the captain constantly adjusts the height and position of the flying ship to deal with the possible attack of the Black Eagle.

The Black Giant Eagle is huge and powerful, and if it hits the hull at high speed, it is difficult to say how many times this flying ship can withstand it, in short, it will never be a good thing.

And the change in the battle situation appeared when the high scene arrived!

After receiving the sailor's call for help, Gao Jing rushed to the deck as soon as possible, and happened to witness the scene of a black giant eagle swooping and ramming into the flying ship.

Rumble!

The black giant eagle swayed from side to side, dodging the two crossbow arrows that were fired at him back and forth, and slammed into the port side of the flying ship with a fierce attitude!

It just happened to hit a large ballista that was placed there.

The ballista was instantly split apart and exploded under the fierce impact of the demon bird, and countless pieces of wood flew in all directions.

The two sailors who operated the ballista flew upside down screaming, with a lot of wood sticking into their faces and bodies.

"Kill!"

The mid-center sailor roared and swung his double-edged battle axe towards the black eagle that had crashed into the deck.

But within seconds the Black Eagle was back on its feet, and it flapped its wings against the boatswain, setting off a small hurricane that swept away the attacking opponents!

The boatswain did not want to be swept out of the airship, so he had to give up the attack and crouch down to fight the hurricane.

The Black Eagle took advantage of the wind it had created to leap into the air, ready to crash into the second ballista nearby.

Bang!

At the last moment, the roar of guns suddenly sounded on the deck.

This black giant eagle, which had just tasted the sweetness and wanted to concoct it in the same way, suddenly burst into a dazzling blood flower!

Wow~

It was Gao Jing who shot.

He held a Barrett M107A1 firmly in his hand!

The black giant eagle is worthy of being a third-order large demon bird, and after eating a 12.7mm armor-piercing bullet from a close-range shot, it is still struggling to fly again.

Want to escape from the airship.

But Gao Jing made a move, how could he tolerate the target slipping away under his nose.

Bang!

The second armor-piercing bullet exploded a fist-sized blood hole in the black eagle's head!

This blow was extremely deadly, as strong as a third-order demon bird could not withstand it, it had just flown up to a height of about ten meters, and then it fell headlong like a kite with a broken string.

He slammed into the deck of the airship, red blood gushing.

Wow~

The other three black eagles roaming around saw that their companions had been severely damaged, and they immediately abandoned their original attack tactics and gathered around them like crazy.

A pair of scarlet eagle eyes locked onto the high view!
