Chapter 60

If not forced by circumstance, he shouldn't have joined the battle at all!

"Captain!"

"This is an order! You're young—your living self is worth more than your dead one!" Wang Wang Tianlang shouted, "Execute the order! Reserve team, follow Hu Fei! Combat team, follow me!"

The combat team, including Su Yang and nine others, left the town.

At this moment, villagers near the town, hearing the alarm, had already begun fleeing into the town.

Wang Wang Tianlang ordered: "Assign the first task!"

"We don't need to worry about people near the town—they'll flee back on their own. We must help those far from the town or villages, getting them to safety in the town or nearby villages before the Malignant Sparrows arrive!"

"We're here to save lives, not to throw ours away. If you spot Malignant Sparrows, don't engage—flee immediately. If you can't escape, dive into dense forest and dig a hole to hide!"

"If you can return, head back to the town. Once there, gather at the air raid shelter—I'll deploy defenses then!"

"Understood?"

"Understood!"

Everyone responded in unison.

Wang Wang Tianlang: "The nine of us each take one direction. Notify nearby villages about the Malignant Sparrows' approach. Rescue as many as you can—don't overextend. Su Yang, you follow me!"

"Captain, my pet's speed is extremely fast, and its strength is immense!"

Wang Wang Tianlang stared blankly: "How fast and strong can a Black-Iron Top-Grade pet possibly be?"

"Storm Eagle, come out!"

"Shriek!"

The moment Storm Eagle appeared, it startled all nine patrol members.

Not long ago, after evolving into Black-Iron Top-Grade, its wingspan had reached a terrifying fifteen meters!

It looked like a colossal beast!

Wang Wang Tianlang looked up at Storm Eagle and muttered: "Damn… that's one big bastard. What the hell does it eat?"

"Natural growth!"

"How fast is it?"

"Storm Eagle, increase speed!"

A flash of black light—and Storm Eagle vanished from sight!

"Holy shit!" Wang Wang Tianlang cursed, "Faster than my Bronze-Rank Soaring Sparrow!"

"Yes, Captain!"

Wang Wang Tianlang ventured: "It's so big—can it carry you?"

"Yes, but speed will drop a bit."

"Then we change plans. Su Yang, go alone. Immediately notify Jin Chang Village and Qiongshan Village, the farthest southern villages of Bai Yin Town. Both are mountain villages—only you can reach them quickly. Warn them to ring the alarm and recall all villagers… then patrol all areas of Bai Yin Town, rescuing villagers far from town or villages. Understood?"

"Understood!"

"Su Yang, take this map. Dismissed!"

The other eight beastmasters instantly summoned their pets and raced off in eight directions.

"Storm Eagle, take me—fly south!"

Storm Eagle flew directly before Su Yang and extended one broad wing beneath his feet.

"You want me to ride on your back?"

Storm Eagle nodded.

"You can carry me?"

Storm Eagle nodded again.

"Perfect!"

Su Yang knew his Storm Eagle was special!

Likely due to its two Mythic-tier talents, its size far exceeded that of other beasts at the same rank!

Ordinary flying pets need at least Bai Yin-Rank—and must be large—to carry a rider.

But Su Yang's Storm Eagle, merely Black-Iron Top-Grade, could already carry a person!

Sitting on Storm Eagle's back, it flapped its wings, creating gusts of wind, then shot Su Yang high into the sky!

Wang Wang Tianlang rode his Qingfeng Wolf, watching Su Yang mount Storm Eagle and soar into the sky—envious beyond words.

"Qingfeng Wolf, if only you could carry me!"

The running Qingfeng Wolf shot Wang Wang Tianlang a sidelong glance—clearly saying: You're dreaming!

Storm Eagle's back was extremely wide; sitting atop it, gazing down at the vast earth, Su Yang suddenly felt his spirit broaden.

Facing the gale, Su Yang opened his mouth and shouted: "Ahh~"

He screamed until hoarse—and felt refreshed!

At that moment, Su Yang spotted scattered Malignant Sparrows!

Seeing these Malignant Sparrows, Su Yang knew this was a sign of a massive swarm approaching!

"Storm Eagle, kill them!"

Storm Eagle let out a piercing shriek—three wind blades shot out, slicing three Malignant Sparrows to pieces midair!

Killing three low-tier Malignant Sparrows earned Su Yang only 16 experience points.

Soon, flatland vanished, replaced by mountains.

Two minutes later, Su Yang saw Jin Chang Village!

Storm Eagle descended from the sky, instantly causing chaos.

Many villagers of Jin Chang Village, thinking a ferocious beast had attacked, turned and ran.

Someone shouted loudly, "Everyone, don't panic! There's someone up above — it's a Beast Tamer my lord coming!"
