Scourge Messenger

Chapter 382 Raging Thunder Eagle
Although it is a fourth-tier token, it does not require the True Spirit Jade to activate it, and the equipment requirement is only 100 Divine Souls. Yan Qing, who has absorbed the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends, has just surpassed the 100 mark in both attributes!
Not only him, but also the Pharmacist and Shang Xinlei can use it. If we help Ying Rushi find the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends in the next few days, it should be fine too.

In fact, Yan Qing already had a Bodhisattva jade pendant, but this is the biggest advantage of reality compared to the game: as long as he can wear it, he can equip as many rings, pendants and other ornaments as he has, but only one of the same tokens can be active at a time.

Yan Qing wanted to keep resetting the secret realm to farm the bats at the entrance, as it allowed him to both farm the Night Pendant and quickly complete milestones on the Path of Flame.

But there's no rush now. Let's clear this secret realm first and see what we can gain.

The bunny girl took out the True Spirit Jade and absorbed it in her hand.

The Dragon-Locking Immortal, who was surveying the environment nearby, was stunned by what she saw. The next second, she raised her hand without hesitation to strike.

"Hey, old lady, why are you getting handsy? Want to fight me one-on-one?"

"Why are you absorbing the True Spirit Jade?!"

"Are you out of your mind? I absorb the True Spirit Jade to replenish my spiritual energy, of course."

"But you can recover your spiritual energy in the secret realm, right?! I even specifically reminded you!" Master Suolong was almost going crazy: "You'll be fully recovered in a moment!"

"I'm eager to explore; the recovery speed is so slow, I can't wait any longer."

Can't wait!?

It will only take a quarter of an hour at most. To save a quarter of an hour, you're wasting dozens of True Spirit Jade?!
Master Suolong was so angry that his chains shot out, but the Bunny Girl had already hopped ahead to scout the way. She put her arm around Yaoshi Yuan's shoulder, clutched her chest, trembled for a moment, then turned and stared straight at Yaoshi Yuan, gritting her teeth as she said, "If you dare to waste things like her, you can forget about having the Yaoshi surname!"

The pharmacist smiled gently and coaxed her as if she were talking to an elder, "She won't do it again. She was just in a hurry today, so don't be angry."

"I'm not angry. It's not my money, why should I be angry? Oh..."

……

...

After passing through the narrow passage, a spacious cave hall came into view for the three of them.

The clear, rushing sound of water dispelled the gloomy atmosphere of the cave. An underground river flowed down from above the cave, cascading into the pool below like a waterfall, creating continuous ripples. They could feel the coolness of the underground spring even from a distance.

Beside the pool, a colossal golden eagle lowered its majestic head to drink from the icy spring. Its beak crackled with crimson lightning, making no attempt to conceal its ability to wield thunder magic. "Raging Thunder Eagle"

As the first elite monster in the challenging dungeon, the developers generously provided a large area to facilitate the use of the skill by an eight-person team. However, this presents a problem for the Bunny Girl. The larger the terrain, the greater the monster's movement range, and the less effective the [Candle Tears Red] skill becomes.

“Lure it this way.” Bunny Girl stood at the exit of the passage. “Right here, burn it. Aunt Moon, can you keep it under control?”

“Of course,” said Master Suolong, “Impossible.”

"Isn't the Dragon-Locking Well supposed to be able to control any living being?" the pharmacist blurted out.

Her memory of the Dragon-Locking Well was too vivid. When she was chained up in the Shu Road Mountain, she could barely think. In the molten lava dungeon, she had to destroy the dungeon to unlock the Bunny Girl's chains. On her escape, the Dragon-Locking Well trap made of rare iron went off, almost taking the Thieves' House with her.

Master Suolong said irritably, "I can control any living being, but my spiritual energy is not unlimited! For a demon of this level five, I have to consume a lot of spiritual energy for every breath I take to control it. How could I possibly control it indefinitely?"

"but."

She paused, then continued, "If it's just about keeping it in the same place as much as possible, I can manage that, but..."

"I'll give you all the True Spirit Jade in the treasure chest later," the bunny girl said immediately.

“That’s not the problem. Besides, we agreed to split the profits 50/50, so I wouldn’t be trying to take advantage of you for this little bit of effort,” said Master Suolong. “The problem is that I can only stop it from moving, but if it launches a ranged attack, I might not be able to stop it in time.”

"no problem."

With the plan set, the bunny girl drew her Horizontal Autumn Sword and began her Candle Tears Sword Dance, covering the area around the passage exit with walls of candle tears and fire. Perhaps due to her mastery of 'basic fire control,' the effect of the candle tears and fire walls seemed even stronger, with even the walls and floor beginning to melt.

It's strange, almost all skills don't show the increase in data, especially after Foundation Establishment, skill growth can no longer be upgraded, as if honing skills has lost its meaning, but players with high skill levels are indeed stronger than those with low skill levels.

The forum has discussed this issue many times and finally reached a consensus: the skill bonus is very subtle and is an optimization at the frame rate level. It makes you attack faster and move and turn faster. Even without any numerical bonus, playing at a higher level is smoother and more fluid.

Master Suolong launched the chain, flicking the thunder eagle's rump fur from afar. The thunder eagle immediately let out a violent cry, its body crackling with crimson lightning! It spread its wings, stirring up a gale throughout the cave, and with a single flap of its wings, it flew almost right in front of them!
They are elite demons with incredibly fast movement speed!
Wow!
Master Suolong's hidden chains shot out again, precisely locking onto the Thunder Eagle's wings! Although the chains only worked for a moment, they still disrupted the Thunder Eagle's flight, causing it to crash into the cave exit and be baked from all sides by the wall of candle tears and flames. Being large to begin with, it became even more covered in candle tears as it rolled on the ground!
It quickly stood up, and just as it was about to pounce and kill the group of evil humans, the chains snapped back, binding its right foot!

It stood up a second time and tried to run over, but its left foot was pulled by the chain again!
Pounce, run, fly, jump... No matter how the Thunder Eagle tries to move, Master Locking Dragon will precisely interrupt it with his chains. Moreover, he doesn't control its entire body, but only locks the part of it that exerts force, firmly confining it to the trap of the Candle Tear Fire Wall!
The two sisters, along with Yan Qing watching from outside the screen, were all amazed. Master Suolong always mobilized his supernatural powers to the minimum, achieving the greatest effect with the least amount of consumption.

She could probably control the Thunder Eagle for about eight seconds with all her might—that was already quite impressive. If a regular eight-person team had eight seconds to deal damage, it would be enough to beat the Thunder Eagle to a pulp. But she had controlled the Thunder Eagle for far more than twenty seconds. As long as she didn't make a mistake, the Thunder Eagle couldn't escape her control because she could also absorb True Spirit Jade to maintain her energy!
This is a unique skill that only Foundation Establishment cultivators who have immersed themselves in supernatural powers for many years can use, a miracle that game characters can never replicate. Ying Le's [United Hearts], Jie Huang Chao's [Golden Armor], Yao Shi Yue's [Dragon Locking Well]... No wonder these Foundation Establishment cultivators were able to cultivate all the way up despite scarce resources and few teammates; they used their talent and ability to make up for the deficiencies of their real-world environment!
Suddenly, a shrill cry rang out, and the Thunder Eagle's beak flashed with crimson lightning. In the next instant, it spat out a ball of crimson lightning towards the bunny girl who was constantly adding water to the Candle Tear Hot Spring!
