Chapter 170: with translation of chapter title

Few people knew that Xiao Feng had a flying mount; seeing this bird, about as tall as a person, cool and flashy, appear out of thin air, everyone couldn't help but exclaim.

My goodness! So handsome!

Xiao Feng, master! Take me flying!!

What... there's actually a mount? When did this game get mounts???

Not only those who didn't know were surprised; even Li Li and others who had seen the Thunder God were startled by the grown giant eagle.

No wonder it can be ridden; it's indeed a big guy! Li Li said.

Zhang Fan nodded in agreement, 'But compared to the boss of the Lost Land, it's still much smaller.'

Xiao Feng stroked the Thunder God's head; the giant eagle's wings slightly spread, lowering its body.

He sat astride the area near the bird's neck close to its back, and ordered takeoff.

Whoosh~

The Thunder God kicked off the ground with its feet, flapped its wings, and soared into the sky with a loud cry.

Takeoff!

In an instant, Xiao Feng broke free from the ground's restraint and rose to tens of meters altitude.

The Thunder God Eagle's speed is too fast; even in its growth stage, it already far exceeds ordinary warhorses by several times.

He was still experiencing a flying mount for the first time; watching his teammates shrink on the ground, a hard-to-describe thrill welled up inside him.

Awesome! Hahaha~

Xiao Feng wasn't afraid of heights at all; on the contrary, he was very excited.

He ordered the Thunder God to fly as high as possible; the Thunder God flapped its wings repeatedly and, in one go, climbed to 300 meters before stabilizing.

The Thunder God in its growth stage can only fly this high while carrying a person. To reach higher altitudes, one must wait for it to grow larger, its wings to increase, and the flapping to generate stronger lift.

From this height looking down, the teammates had become like tiny ants, just as if viewing the ground from a hundred-story building.

After a few wingbeats, the Thunder God flew several hundred meters; after a few more flaps, it reached a kilometer away.

Xiao Feng, using his aerial view, searched for monster traces on the endless black land.

The skin colors of deep-sea creatures are relatively dark, mainly dark red, purple, and light gray.

These colors aren't very conspicuous against the black soil of the Ash Plains, making Xiao Feng's scouting somewhat troublesome.

Thunder God, fly lower.

He lowered the altitude, patrolling at 120 meters in the air.

Everyone, there's a 10-person demon squad about 1200 meters to the southwest.

After seeing a small monster squad, he immediately reported the coordinates to everyone.

Since the monsters were too few, not worth personally engaging, Xiao Feng couldn't be bothered to land and continued to loiter in the air.

A strong wind blew against his face, making his robe and hair flutter.

At this moment, Xiao Feng felt a peculiar pleasure, as if in a past life he had been a bird meant to soar in the sky rather than walk on the ground.

After the fourth transformation, one can learn the flight technique; although it only allows flying up to 50 meters high, the experience should still be decent. He thought to himself.

A few minutes later, Zhulong and the others had arrived at the designated spot and wiped out those ten little monsters.

Xiao Feng circled the vicinity, saw no sizable demon troop, and began to explore farther away.

The Thunder God is fast, covering 7.2 kilometers per minute; with the 'Wind-Chasing Lightning' skill, it can reach 10.8 kilometers per minute.

After flying 10 kilometers away from the team, Xiao Feng saw a wave of only three isolated demon soldiers.

He originally wanted to report the coordinates, but then thought making people run 10 kilometers for just 3 war contribution points would be too ridiculous.

So he unleashed a Dragon Breath technique, instantly killing those three little monsters.

The Dragon Breath's spray distance is 225 meters; releasing the skill from a hundred-meter height with his magic staff made the scene look as if a real dragon were breathing fire from the sky onto the ground, incredibly shocking.

Discovering a new use for his own skill, Xiao Feng couldn't help but smirk.

Being able to cast spells in the sky, from now on anyone who dares provoke me, I can toy with them to death!

Throwing a skill at 200 meters altitude is something ordinary people can't do; even the Sword Slaying the Heavens Technique can't fly that high!

As everyone knows, air superiority is one of the most important components of military combat; when others can't fly and lack ultra-long-range skills, even hundreds of thousands or millions of people can't do anything to him!

Old Xiao, no monsters left? We're so bored~

Li Li's wailing came over the team channel.

Xiao Feng laughed and said: 'I can only rely on the naked eye; my detection ability isn't great. There might be a demon legion nearby in a group invisibility state, which I also can't handle.'

In the game world, the function of the eyes is sometimes limited.

Assassin players can all turn invisible, let alone high-level NPCs and monsters.

'Group invisibility' is a type of legion skill; high-level guilds can also learn it, though casting consumes expensive items, so under normal circumstances people are reluctant to use it.

The same skill can also be used by monsters, as long as they exceed five regiments' worth of units, they can use such skills.

Alas, so lonely, can't we get some monsters to fight?

Li Li continued to wail.

Xiao Feng had already flown far away; the team was advancing on the ground, occasionally encountering only scattered small soldiers, far from satisfying the needs of fifty people.

Be content; that earlier wave was worth a full day's battle for others. Zhang Fan comforted.

However, many people were still complaining about the lack of monsters.

At that moment, a voice suddenly sounded in the legion channel!

— Legion channel, currently over 3000 people online!

A player from the 002 regiment shouted in the channel: 'President, we've encountered a boss! Level 200, already many people have been insta-killed!'

Boss? Where?

Xiao Feng saw the message and was the first to reply.

The legion channel is normally free of idle chatter; only distress calls or important information are spoken there.

After this message came out, many people were inquiring about the coordinates.

However, most people were just asking for fun; truly letting them challenge a level‑200 boss is beyond their ability.

Ashen Plains Eastern Front Zhan Chang Second Defense Line, coordinates 99292,39774 nearby!

The boss is a mythic‑level mage; one skill covers over a kilometer, and our whole team was instantly wiped out!

Single‑hit damage of 180,000—more outrageous than the toughest boss in the garrison defense battle!

As the first person spoke up, others who had encountered the boss also began chatting in the legion channel.

Xiao Feng opened the map and quickly checked the target's direction.

The Ashen Plains is vast, divided into multiple regions.

The region they are currently in is near the Eastern Front Zhan Chang, Second Defense Line.

"It's only seven kilometers away—not far."

Seeing the coordinate distance, Xiao Feng immediately said in the legion to those calling for help: "Those who can play dead, play dead; those who can't, retreat to the fortress—I'll take on the boss."

Then, addressing his own team, he said: "Everyone rush to the boss's coordinates at full speed; I'll hold the boss without killing it until you arrive, then we'll share the contribution."

Upon hearing this, the team erupted.

"Old Xiao is awesome!"

"Treating a level‑200 mythic boss like a little monster to walk—this is damn overpowered!"

"Hurry up, hurry up—don't keep Lord Xiao Feng waiting!"

A group of people howled, pushed their speed to the limit, and sprinted wildly toward the coordinate location.
