Chapter 209 An Aerial Battle Without Suspense
The boundless blue sky, with white clouds drifting leisurely, seemed peaceful, but a sense of impending doom was subtly brewing in the air.
Mei Chuan and two of Miki's men were riding their flying pets, heading towards the mysterious island floating in the distance.
This mission was extraordinary; they were the first to land on the island, and their objective was not only to scout out the situation on the island, but also to prepare for the subsequent seizure.
Mei Chuan rode his armored falcon, its wings covered in metallic scales that reflected a blinding light.
It has a slender body and extremely fast flight speed. Although it has no special combat skills, it is exceptionally agile and its ability to evade is almost Mei Chuan's proud trump card.
On the other side, one of Miki's subordinates, Komura Ryosuke, has a giant sparrow as his pet. It is a huge bird with a wingspan of five or six meters. Its body is dark brown, and its powerful wings flap the air, creating gusts of wind.
Another subordinate, Uesugi, rode a Stormhawk. This bird had blue mane on its head and lightning-shaped patterns on its wings. It was a high-speed pet with a balance of speed and attack power, and it flew through the sky like an arrow piercing the air.
The three directed their pets to maintain formation while cautiously scanning their surroundings. Mei Chuan shielded his eyes from the sunlight, squinting as he watched the floating island gradually become clearer. From their angle, the island was shrouded in a thin layer of clouds, exuding a mysterious and imposing aura.
"This island is truly outrageous; it can actually fly into the sky," Uesugi Nai couldn't help but exclaim, her tone filled with apprehension.
"Enough with the nonsense," Mei Chuan said coldly. "Don't forget the mission. Our goal is to confirm the situation on this island and provide the vice president with intelligence as soon as possible."
Even so, Mei Chuan felt a vague unease. After all, the power to lift an entire island into the air was definitely not something an ordinary survivor could accomplish.
What exactly is hidden on the island? Are there any potential threats? These were questions that kept him on his toes. But as the captain, he dared not reveal these worries and could only grit his teeth and continue forward.
At this moment, Mo Ming leaned calmly against a stone wall, watching the three black dots on the horizon that were gradually growing larger.
"They're here..." Mo Ming's lips curled into a cold smile. He had already spotted these islanders through Xiao Jin's vigilance, but he didn't rush to make a move. Instead, he patiently waited for these flying creatures to approach little by little.
Little Gold was hovering high above the Sky Island, looking down at Mei Chuan and his companions and their pet in the distance. Like a king who controlled the sky, Little Gold's eyes were sharp and cold, ready to hunt down its target at any moment.
Mo Ming slightly raised his hand, conveying a signal to Xiao Jin, and whispered.
Almost instantly, Little Gold let out a long howl, its voice sharp and awe-inspiring, like a blade piercing the sky. Immediately afterward, it folded its wings and swooped down like a golden meteor, its target Mei Chuan and his companions.
"What's that!" Ryosuke Komura was the first to notice something was wrong. He saw a golden light rush towards them from high above, and his heart skipped a beat. "Be on guard! Something's coming!"
Before he could say anything more, the Golden Feathered Sky Eagle had already spread its enormous wings and appeared in the three of them's field of vision. Its massive size, powerful aura, and blade-like wings all made the three of them feel a sense of oppression.
"It's a ferocious beast from the island!" Mei Chuan exclaimed, alarm bells ringing in his mind. "Fight back with all your might!"
However, before they could even make a move, Little Gold's speed completely outpaced their reaction time. Of the three targets in the air, it first chose the easiest one to eliminate—the Giant Sparrow! With a flap of its wings, it created a powerful gust of wind and instantly soared above the Giant Sparrow.
"Giant Sparrow, watch out!" Ryosuke Komura hurriedly commanded his pet to retreat, but it was too late. Little Gold's claws, like sharp hooks, fiercely swept across the Giant Sparrow's back, tearing open a huge wound in an instant. The Giant Sparrow let out a miserable cry, its wings trembled violently, blood splattered down from high above, and its body swayed precariously from the intense pain.
"Damn it! Stormhawk, go help!" Uesugi shouted angrily, and his pet Stormhawk flapped its wings and tried to rush towards Little Gold from the side.
However, Little Gold seemed to have anticipated its move. Almost the instant the Stormhawk approached, it nimbly turned around, and its other golden talon ripped down, easily tearing apart the Stormhawk's left wing.
"Ah—!! Impossible..." Tanaka stared in disbelief as his pet plummeted downwards, his heart pounding. He had never seen such a powerful hunter before; in terms of speed, strength, and combat experience, Little Gold completely overwhelmed his Stormhawk.
In less than a minute, the giant sparrow was severely injured and out of control, its wings losing balance. The Stormhawk, its broken body unable to support itself any longer, was forced to plummet with its master. Ryosuke Komura and Uesugi screamed as they plunged into the sea, their pets letting out pitiful cries, no longer having the strength to fight back.
At that moment, Mei Chuan made a decisive decision. "Spirit Falcon! Go back!"
Without hesitation, he abandoned a direct confrontation with Little Gold and instead quickly commanded the armored falcon to return the way it came. The falcon was incredibly fast, carrying him at full speed towards the shelter, attempting to shake off the terrifying golden-feathered eagle.
But Mei Chuan's wishful thinking didn't work out. After dealing with the Giant Sparrow and the Stormhawk, Xiao Jin quickly set its sights on its last target—Mei Chuan and the Steel Armored Falcon. It let out a roar, its huge golden wings flapped violently, and without hesitation, it launched its Divine Speed attack towards Mei Chuan.
A gust of wind swept through, and the golden light, like a deadly arrow, caught up with the armored falcon in an instant. Mei Chuan looked back and saw the shadow of Little Gold rapidly approaching. His throat tightened, and at that moment, he felt despair. He knew that the falcon was no match for Little Gold, and he himself had almost no chance of escape.
"Damn it! I'll risk it!" Mei Chuan made a crazy decision. He steered the Falcon around sharply and charged towards the oncoming Little Gold.
Although the falcon felt the deadly pressure from its opponent, it did not flinch. That was its loyalty and obedience to its master. Its wings suddenly flapped, transforming into a streak of steel-like silver light as it charged towards Little Gold, facing it head-on.
However, to everyone's surprise, Mei Chuan jumped off the falcon's back when it was only a dozen meters away from Xiao Jin!
"I'm sorry, Falcon..." Mei Chuan murmured as he fell, but his eyes were cold and devoid of emotion.
At this moment, he had lost the courage to fight and could only use his pet as cover for escape. He abandoned his falcon, but the falcon continued to carry out its master's orders without hesitation, swooping down on Little Gold.
The armored Falcon collided with Little Gold. For the Falcon, whose strength and size were vastly different, fighting Little Gold was like a moth flying into a flame.
The next second...
