Chapter 137: Thunder Eagle
The most dangerous place is the safest place, although this statement is inevitably a partial generalization, but it does have its own reason, and it is widely accepted by people. However, people often forget the other saying that the safest place is sometimes the most dangerous place.
Finding safety in a dangerous place is taking advantage of people's psychological blind spots, which can be regarded as taking advantage of people's attention, and encountering danger in the safest place is taking advantage of people's laxity in a safe place to suddenly attack and catch the other party off guard.
After entering the city's defenses, the convoy did slacken, at least the ordinary mercenaries. The calm of the day has slowly worn away the vigilance of the mercenaries, and entering the city limits has given them the illusion of entering a safe area, and the two-pronged approach has caused most of the mercenaries to relax their vigilance. However, these young people forget that a calm road doesn't mean anything, and that there is no safety in the sphere of influence outside the city.
It is normal to be calm all the way, but when you encounter danger in the wilderness, it is usually only a matter of a moment, even if you spend a hundred days peacefully, you may face danger without warning at a certain moment, and then lose your life. Because of this, many high-level mercenaries believe that the longer the mission lasts, the more difficult it will be, after all, the longer the time, in addition to fighting against the external environment, they also have to fight against their own gradually relaxed heart.
Outside the city is not a safe zone, not only on the periphery of the city, but also inside the city. The duty of the city and the city guard is to protect the city, protect the thousands of citizens who make up the city, defend against foreign beasts, in order to consolidate the city's defenses, clean up small groups of demons, and avoid the threat to the city caused by the gathering of too many demons, all their actions are for the city, and they are not obliged to ensure the safety of any visitor. As long as you don't enter the city, then you are at your own risk, after entering the city, the city guards will protect visitors to a certain extent by strengthening law and order, but that's all, as long as the attackers do not affect the safety of the city, the city guards will not care even if they see it.
However, after all, the city symbolizes security, so many people forget this, so there are always hyenas or mercenary groups who like to take advantage of people's blind spots and launch surprise attacks on targets around the city, and this time is no exception.
The raid came from the sky.
Although the mercenaries are lax, after all, they are on the edge of the grassland, the surroundings are still open and open, the environment is clear at a glance, and it is almost impossible to launch an attack without being detected, which is also a reason for the mercenaries to relax their vigilance. However, they forgot that the world is three-dimensional, and in addition to the surface and underground, there is also a wider sky, and they are relaxed, focusing only on the ground and underground, ignoring the threat of the sky.
The eagle soars into the sky.
The ethereal eagle whistle swooped down from the sky with a long tail note, but it was the eagle that was faster than the whistle.
The whistling sound was still in the sky, the giant eagle had already swooped down from the sky, straight to the truck in the middle of the convoy, and the mercenaries in the front row were looking back and cheering in order to see the city walls, just happened to see this scene, and issued a short and anxious warning, but unfortunately, the warning came too late, the speed of the giant eagle was faster than the sound, and before the sound could be exported, the giant eagle had already pounced on the car.
If someone with the ability to know more about alien beasts is present, it should be able to see that this giant eagle is not a species on the grassland, but a thunder eagle from the top of the snow-capped mountains in the northwest.
Since the age of mythology, on the plateau snow mountain, there is the legend of the thunder eagle, they are the darling of the sky, is the pride of the snow mountain, their speed is faster than the wind, more urgent than the thunder, the wings spread, it is already a hundred miles away, their feathers are like iron, sharp beaks and claws cut gold and broken jade, the power is infinite, even if it is an elephant, it can be easily grabbed and taken away. There are countless legends about them, but there are very few people who have actually seen Thunder Eagle.
Of course, these are just myths and legends, and the Thunder Eagle in reality is not so exaggerated. According to the biological records before the disaster, the thunder eagle is indeed a very rare animal, living on the top of the snow-capped mountains at an altitude of more than 5,000 meters all the year round, the size is huge and extremely fast, one day and night, can run thousands of kilometers, their hunting grounds, covering the nest as a far point, within a radius of 300 kilometers, to hunt cattle and sheep on the plateau for food.
Unfortunately, the pre-disaster records are not credible, and since the catastrophe struck, the mythological era returned, and the environment was full of energy, the Thunder Eagles showed their true side, just like the one in front of them.
The huge thunder eagle that attacked the convoy had wings more than ten meters in length, and its entire body was covered with black feathers, even its beak and claws were black, only the tip of its beak flashed with brilliant golden yellow, like a golden crown on the head of the king on the snow peak. Judging from the process of its swoop, the speed has exceeded the speed of sound, and the popping sound that breaks the sound barrier is thrown behind it, and its claws are already grasping the boxes in the truck.
The boxes were firmly fixed on the car, and each one was tightly tied with ropes doped with thin steel wires, but the sharp claws of the Thunder Eagle were only lightly swiped, and there was not even a fluctuation of the source energy, relying entirely on the sharpness of the claws and the strength of the limbs, and the tightened steel ropes were cut like tofu, making a sound like when the bowstring was broken.
Thunder Eagle's movements were very skillful, the rope was broken, and his claws had been deeply grasped into the wooden box, and the flapping wings set off a strong air current, and his body had already risen into the air with two wooden boxes.
The wooden box is actually very large and heavy, and it is loaded with a large number of mechanical and electronic components, although the specific weight is not the same, but the lightest one will not be less than 300 kilograms, and the heaviest one will even exceed 600 kilograms. The two wooden boxes add up, I'm afraid it's enough to have a ton, and if ordinary people don't use machinery, a dozen people may not be able to carry it, even if they are high-level abilities, they have to frown when they encounter such a heavy weight.
However, for Thunder Eagle, a one-ton box seemed to be no different from a piece of feather, and it didn't even make its action deformed a little bit, and it was obvious that such a weight was far from reaching the limit of Thunder Eagle's bearing.
Dive, pounce, break the rope, grab, take off, the whole process is smooth and free, from the mercenary to the giant eagle flying, the whole process does not even exceed two seconds, the mercenaries fully understand the meaning of this sentence, even if they have begun to react, but in the face of the speed of the thunder eagle, they can not do anything.
However, as soon as Thunder Eagle took off, a black shadow was already shrouded above it, and a gloomy voice sneered and said: "The sky is my domain, without my approval, who gave you the courage to dare to set foot in my world?"
