Yan Xing was startled. My current altitude is at least 800 meters, maybe even 1,000, he thought. And that arrow was clearly shot from within Nuta City. Even an ordinary gun probably couldn't shoot that high, and even if it could, it wouldn't have such power!
The two turbocharged jet engines roared, propelling the Battle Griffin rapidly higher as it let out a series of mournful cries.
Hibel, too, was startled by the sudden attack. I shouldn't have taken Yan Xing out on a Griffon, she blamed herself. Anyone could see this is his first time riding a flying creature. He doesn't know how to perform evasive maneuvers, making him an easy target. It's the perfect time for an assassination.
