Terrified, Song Ke extended his sharp talons, grabbed the first thing he could find, and hurled it at the black-and-red python.
An Eagle Eye inadvertently glanced over and spotted the female's petite figure trying to retreat. Its eyes lit up.
The Golden Eagle let out an excited shriek. Before An Jin could escape, a sharp pain shot through her shoulder blade as an Eagle Beast snatched her into the air.
Without a second thought, Song Ke spread his wings and soared high, covering several hundred meters in an instant.
Mi Yin lunged forward but missed by a hair's breadth, getting only a mouthful of golden feathers and a spray of blood.
"Jin'er!"
Thousands of meters in the sky, a fierce wind howled. An Jin's eardrums throbbed, and her cloak flapped violently in the gale.
Her shoulder was bleeding from the eagle's talons, but she seemed oblivious to the pain, her gaze unfocused as she stared at the rapidly receding ground.
