Chapter 280: Not One Will Be Spared! All of Them!

A flash of white light, and the Seven-Colored Illusory Butterfly appeared.

It lay on the back of the Storm Eagle, spreading its beautiful, multicolored wings, still as a lady.

"Seven-Colored Illusory Butterfly, assist the Storm Eagle in attack!"

Far away, the female beast-tamer, coordinating with her mount, the Wind-Cloud Eagle, held the upper hand against three Crimson Flame Giant Lizards.

She did not look toward Su Yang's direction, but glanced at her six remaining subordinates, who were still being chased by hundreds of Flame Lizards.

They weren't without flying companions—rather, their flying beast companions were either dead or severely wounded!

"Hold on a little longer—I'll come rescue you right away!"

She thought simply: once the two Crimson Flame Giant Lizards focused on that unlucky bastard, she'd recall her Wind-Cloud Eagle.

As long as she could injure or drive back the three Crimson Flame Giant Lizards in front of her, she'd free up her hands to save all six subordinates.

As for whether that unlucky bastard could hold off the two Crimson Flame Giant Lizards, she still had some confidence.

Storm Eagle, Starlight-grade growth potential, extremely fast speed.

Even if only Gold High-Grade, its combat power should be quite formidable.

It could certainly struggle for a while under the combined assault of two Platinum-level Crimson Flame Giant Lizards!

As for whether the bastard would die—of course, it would be best if he did!

"Understood, Young Lady!"

Just as Liu Mengyun was about to act against the three Crimson Flame Giant Lizards in front of her, she suddenly looked up toward the direction of the Wind-Cloud Eagle!

Because just then, the mental link between her and the Wind-Cloud Eagle… had snapped!

There were only three possible explanations for this.

One: the Wind-Cloud Eagle was dead!

Two: it had defected!

Three: it had been controlled!

What Liu Mengyun saw was that the Wind-Cloud Eagle, instead of obeying her command to charge the unlucky bastard with the two Crimson Flame Giant Lizards, turned around and engaged them in direct melee combat!

She would never give such a stupid order as to engage two Platinum-level Crimson Flame Giant Lizards in close combat!

Mental control?

A very bad premonition surfaced in Liu Mengyun's heart.

At that moment, countless green wind blades furiously attacked the three Platinum-level beasts.

Liu Mengyun had been about to mock the Gold-level beast-tamer for being foolish, still not fleeing.

Even daring to attack three Platinum-level beasts with a Gold-level beast.

But when she saw the Wind-Cloud Eagle and the Crimson Flame Giant Lizards all slashed open, blood spraying across the sky from the green wind blades, she was stunned.

At that moment, a pillar of fire surged toward her.

She barely dodged the fire pillar, but smelled the scent of burnt feathers.

Her long hair had caught fire!

Frantically extinguishing the flames, she ordered the Wind-Cloud Eagle to break free from the three Crimson Flame Giant Lizards—and when she looked again toward the Wind-Cloud Eagle's direction, her eyes burned with rage.

The corpse of the Wind-Cloud Eagle lay on the ground, staining the surrounding grass red.

Its head and one wing were gone—nowhere to be seen.

Dead!

Her Wind-Cloud Eagle was dead!

This Wind-Cloud Eagle was her first beast companion!

She looked up at the sky: one Platinum-level Crimson Flame Giant Lizard plummeted from above, its armored belly torn open by some unseen force, its internal organs exposed.

The remaining Platinum-level Crimson Flame Giant Lizard was driving its sharp claws into its own tooth-filled mouth!

Beast suicide?

No!

Absolutely controlled!

"Ding~ Your beast companion, Storm Eagle, has upgraded to Gold Top-Grade!"

Hearing the upgrade prompt for the Storm Eagle, Su Yang decisively ordered the Seven-Colored Illusory Butterfly to kill the last Crimson Flame Giant Lizard.

Looking at Su Yang's military uniform, Liu Mengyun felt she had just provoked a massive trouble.

She gritted her teeth, opened her arms toward the three approaching Crimson Flame Giant Lizards: "Ice Storm!"

Terrifying frost erupted from her hands, instantly coating the three Crimson Flame Giant Lizards in ice, then sending them crashing straight to the ground.

After using this technique, Liu Mengyun's face turned deathly pale.

"Wind-Cloud Eagle, take them and run!"

The Wind-Cloud Eagle, upon receiving the order, dove down, snatching the six fleeing Gold-level beast-tamers in its claws, and fled into the distance.

Liu Mengyun glanced back at the Gold-level emergency squad beast-tamer: "Wind-Cloud Eagle, flee from here at maximum speed!"

She knew perfectly well that killing him was the best choice.

But she considered herself no match for him!

She couldn't kill three Platinum-level beasts in under three minutes!

Yet he had done it!

Su Yang cast a sidelong glance at the female beast-tamer and smirked with heavy mockery.

Did she really think she could escape?

But then, the three Crimson Flame Giant Lizards on the ground broke free of their ice armor, kicked off, and soared back into the air.

Su Yang didn't hesitate—he ordered the Storm Eagle and the Seven-Colored Illusory Butterfly to attack them first!

After killing three Platinum-grade Crimson Flame Lizards, Su Yang turned his gaze to the group of Flame Lizards that had lost their target.

Over a hundred Gold-grade Flame Lizards are still rare in Mount Yandang; if you encounter them, you can't miss the chance!

Flying above the Flame Lizards, Su Yang ordered: "Storm Eagle, find those people from just now and keep watch on them!"

With Storm Eagle on the case, that group is doomed to escape Su Yang's pursuit!

Su Yang is greedy.

He doesn't want to let even one escape!

The Crimson Flame Lizards must die!

The Flame Lizards must die!

Those people must die too!

He carried the Seven-Colored Illusory Butterfly and leapt directly from Storm Eagle's back through the air.

Storm Eagle did not pause; it became a black shadow, streaking straight toward the direction the group had fled.

Amidst the howling wind, the ground beneath grew clearer, and the Flame Lizards became more distinct.

Su Yang took a deep breath, and just before striking the earth, he whispered: "Earthquake—Mountain Tremor!"

He crashed into the midst of the Flame Lizard swarm like a meteor.

Boom!

The earth shuddered, cracking inch by inch!

Within a hundred-meter radius around Su Yang, over twenty Gold-grade Flame Lizards were all blasted into the air!

Far in the distance, on the back of the Storm Condor, seven Beast Tamer gathered.

Liu Mengyun sat in the center.

Her face was pale, bloodless; using that Ice Storm technique had been a strain.

Her elemental affinity was already somewhat suppressed by the Crimson Flame Lizards; without expending much energy, she couldn't possibly contain them.

"Young Lady, are you alright?"

Liu Mengyun forced a smile: "I'm fine!"

"How are the eggs?"

Liu Mengyun pointed to the space pouch tied at her waist: "All of them are here!"

The goal of their group this time was the eggs of the Crimson Flame Lizards.
