Minecraft players are invading the worlds.

"Could it be a human?"

To figure out what was going on, Xu Tian patted the eagle's neck, signaling it to slow down, and then began to slowly spiral downwards toward the village below.

Just a few hundred meters from the ground, and as Xu Tian was about to land, a sudden change occurred.

"Gah!"

Accompanied by several hissing sounds, three enormous black shadows burning with dark red flames emerged from the distant clouds and charged directly towards the unsuspecting human village below.

Xu Tian's pupils suddenly contracted.

With his excellent eyesight, he instantly saw through the true nature of the three monsters.

"It's aimed at the people below."

Xu Tian immediately sensed something was wrong.

He couldn't possibly stand by and watch these natives be slaughtered by monsters; bringing them back would just result in more NPCs.

Without the slightest hesitation, Xu Tian instantly straightened up on the eagle's back and took out a longbow from his backpack.

Chapter 165 Acceleration

"Lightning strike, lightning."

With a thought, the lightning ring on Xu Tian's finger instantly burst into lightning.

It was poured into the longbow in his hand and the arrow nocked on the string.

On the violently swaying back of the eagle, Xu Tian locked onto one of the mountain flame birds charging at the very front.

"go to hell!"

The bowstring was released, accompanied by a clap of thunder.

The arrow, imbued with the effect of lightning, pierced the mountain flame bird's chest with unstoppable speed.

"boom!"

The power of thunder exploded within its body.

Before the mountain flame bird could even let out a scream, its massive body was instantly reduced to a charred mess in mid-air.

A single, decisive blow.

The sudden and gruesome death of its companion caused the other two mountain flame birds to scream.

One of the dark figures was terrified by the power of the thunder. It suddenly made a sharp turn in the air and frantically flapped its wings to flee in panic.

However, the last mountain flame bird took advantage of this gap and successfully rushed into the village below.

Its sharp claws suddenly shot out and grabbed the shoulder of a little girl who was playing in an open space. She was only seven or eight years old.

Then, with a sudden flap of its wings, it lifted the struggling little girl into the air once more, escaping into the distant sky.

"Grandpa, the big bird is here again! Sister Qing has been captured! Wow!"

In the open space of the village, another little girl with pigtails was so frightened by this sudden scene that she fell to the ground and cried out.

Hearing his granddaughter's cries, the door of the wooden house across the street was kicked open.

An elderly man with gray hair but still a robust physique rushed out.

He watched the dark shadow gradually disappear into the distance in the sky and roared in grief and indignation.

"Xiao Qing!"

The old man suddenly turned around, pulled the little girl sitting on the ground into the house, took an old-fashioned hunting bow from the wall, slung his quiver over his shoulder, and strode out, giving the little girl instructions as he went.

"Stay at home, lock the door, and don't come out. Grandpa is going to rescue your sister."

The little girl nodded frantically, tears welling in her eyes.

"Grandpa, you must bring Sister Qing back..."

The old man gritted his teeth, turned around, and rushed out of the house.

But he knew very well that against those high-flying demonic birds, his two legs and an ordinary bow and arrow were simply a drop in the ocean.

But the moment he looked up, he was shocked to find that a giant, deep blue eagle, radiating a chilling aura, had appeared in the sky and was frantically chasing after the fleeing mountain flame bird.

On the back of the giant eagle, a human figure could be vaguely seen standing.

Xu Tian stared at the mountain flame bird in front of him, which was holding the little girl with its claws.

He wanted to draw his bow and shoot again, but his hand stopped abruptly.

"No, we absolutely cannot use lightning strikes or fireballs."

Xu Tian pondered to himself.

"The child is right under its claws. The lightning and fire explosions are area-of-effect damage. High up in the sky, even a slight touch would kill the child instantly."

With the dilemma of not being able to use magic attacks effectively, long-range attacks are out of the question, leaving only close-quarters combat.

Xu Tian immediately opened his system backpack and quickly took out the high-grade food chicken roll that Feng Xue had given him when he fought Zhu Shitian yesterday, and stuffed it directly into the mouth of the Ice Shadow Eagle.

"Eat it, and speed it up."

Ice Shadow Eagle swallowed the chicken roll in one gulp, and its energy was instantly replenished.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Tian generously pulled out a speed potion and smashed it directly onto the Ice Shadow Eagle's back, allowing the magic potion's effects to fully penetrate its feathers.

The moment the double buffs were applied, the Ice Shadow Eagle let out a high-pitched cry.

Its speed was forcibly increased several levels again under this boost.

The Mountain Flame Bird, which had been steadily increasing its distance, was quickly closed in by the Ice Shadow Eagle's acceleration.

500 meters! 300 meters! 100 meters!

Upon approaching, without Xu Tian's command, the Ice Shadow Eagle's instincts as a top predator instantly erupted.

It opened its beak, and a thick stream of frost shot out, striking the mountain flame bird in front of it precisely on the back.

"hiss"

The chill penetrated its body, instantly extinguishing a large portion of the flames on the Mountain Flame Bird's back. Its originally agile flight posture became extremely stiff, and its speed plummeted.

In that split second, Xu Tian used the momentum of the Ice Shadow Eagle's charge to leap off its back and onto the Mountain Flame Bird.

Xu Tian swung his flaming spear downwards, aiming fiercely at the joint connecting the mountain flame bird's claws.

Sensing the deadly threat coming from above, the mountain flame bird let out a shriek.

Driven by its survival instinct, it disregarded the food in its hands, suddenly loosened its grip on its paws, and desperately rolled to one side to avoid it.

The little girl lost her grip and let out a scream as her small body plummeted straight down from thousands of meters in the air.

"Go catch her."

Without hesitation, the Ice Shadow Eagle, which was of one mind with him, immediately folded its wings and swooped down towards the little girl falling below.

Xu Tian, ​​on the other hand, used his boots to double jump in mid-air to forcefully stabilize his body.

He watched the mountain flame bird trying to escape.

Hold the bow in one hand and pull the bowstring taut to its fullest extent.

The red magic ring erupted with intense heat, and raging fire elements instantly enveloped the arrow.

Xu Tian loosened his grip.

"Whoosh!"

An arrow imbued with fire bursts pierced the sky and struck the back of the frantically fleeing mountain fire bird.

"Boom!"

A huge fireball exploded in the sky.

The mountain flame bird was blasted into countless flying pieces of flesh by the terrifying power of the fire explosion, and died completely.

Having resolved the problem, Xu Tian began to fall.

Below, the girl named Xiaoqing, experiencing the weightlessness of a rapid descent, was terrified, her face deathly pale, her eyes tightly shut as she awaited her demise.

Just then, a soft feather caught her.

The Ice Shadow Eagle glided through the air, its back steadily catching the falling little girl.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Tian nimbly landed back on the eagle's back and reached out to shield the terrified little girl in front of him.

"Are you alright, little one?"

Xu Tian asked softly.

Hearing the sound, the little girl slowly opened her eyes and found that she had not fallen to her death, but was sitting on the back of a giant bird.

She stopped crying, turned her head somewhat blankly, and looked at the older brother in front of her who seemed like a god descended from heaven.

She shook her head vigorously, her voice trembling slightly.

"It's alright, big brother, thank you for saving me. How are we going to fly in the sky?"

Looking at the little girl's innocent and curious eyes, Xu Tian smiled slightly and spoke gently.

"Don't be afraid, this is my pet. I chased away that bad bird. I'll take you home now."

Chapter 166 Orc Town

The little girl looked at the soft blue feathers at her feet and felt the aura emanating from the giant eagle. Her wildly beating heart finally calmed down, and she nodded obediently.

"Okay, thank you, big brother."

Xu Tian patted the Ice Shadow Eagle's neck, signaling it to lower its altitude.

The Ice Shadow Eagle circled once in the air before landing towards the wooden village.

At this moment, the old man, who was holding a hunting bow and preparing to fight to the death, had just run out of breath to the open space at the entrance of the village.

He looked at the sky in despair, thinking that his granddaughter was probably dead.

Suddenly, a gust of wind swept in.
