Chapter 222: Chapter 198: Wings of the Sky

”Is it ready?” Qin Ziwen asked.

”It’s ready. I’ve already spread the gasoline,” Du Yu nodded.

With that, he took two steps forward and pulled out a long arrow. He lit its cloth-wrapped, alcohol-soaked tip, then aimed into the distance.

The bowstring vibrated. The flaming arrow streaked across the sky like a crimson ray, landing in the tall grass. A wall of fire erupted instantly. Orange-red tongues of flame followed the trail of gasoline, bursting into a ring of fire that encircled the Duck-billed Dragons.

The Duck-billed Dragon herd let out low, long calls.

A few young dragons retreated in a panic, hiding under the bellies of the adults.

The Tyrannosaurs’s head jerked back. Its amber-colored vertical pupils narrowed into a slit. It squinted at the flames before it and slowly backed away.

In the sky, a long, thin stream of gasoline drew an arc, precisely splashing over the back of the Duck-billed Dragon leader.

The Beaked Eagle circled once before landing on a high perch to grab a second can of gasoline.

Can after can of the pungent liquid splashed onto the Duck-billed Dragon leader’s rough back. The gasoline, mixed with liquid soap, formed a viscous fluid that filled the many grooves along its spine.

Some of the liquid soap hadn’t completely mixed with the gasoline, but one couldn’t expect perfection from a bird’s talons.

The Duck-billed Dragon leader raised its head and looked at the Beaked Eagle in the sky. It tentatively raised its upper body, trying to open its mouth and bite the Beaked Eagle.

But the Beaked Eagle dodged with a simple dip of its wings and soared into the sky. The Duck-billed Dragon leader could only cry out in frustration at its retreating figure.

Qin Ziwen had already taken out a lighter and lit a bonfire.

Smoke billowed from the bonfire. The Beaked Eagle dove from the sky, snatched a torch in its talons, and soared upward again.

A fierce wind howled, and the torch was instantly extinguished.

The Beaked Eagle quickly turned back. This time, it grabbed a piece of coal that was sparking and glowing red-hot.

SIZZLE—

White smoke streamed from the Beaked Eagle’s talons. Fanned by the howling wind, the coal glowed an even more brilliant red.

The Beaked Eagle flew faster and faster, almost with a sense of urgency.

It flew above the Duck-billed Dragon leader and hastily dropped the coal.

The fist-sized ember, glowing a deep crimson, plummeted downward.

WHOOM~

An orange-yellow fireball erupted on the Duck-billed Dragon leader’s back. The flames then spread like flowing water.

In the blink of an eye, it had spread to the entire area of the Duck-billed Dragon’s back soaked in gasoline.

In an instant, its broad back became a torch!

ROAR!!!

The Duck-billed Dragon leader let out a piercing roar.

The viscous flames burned on its back, and the intense pain was unbearable.

It threw itself to the ground, trying to smother the flames in the grass.

But the gasoline mixed with liquid soap stuck stubbornly to its body.

Its massive body rolled on the ground, but to no avail. It scrambled left and right, only to find itself surrounded by fire. The only escape route was the lake behind it.

It turned and charged into the lake.

Its four feet splashed into the lake, the water rising past its ankles, then its knees.

The cold lake water soothed it slightly, but the pain on its back remained.

The Beaked Eagle swooped in from behind and to the side, its talons tearing several bloody gashes on its neck.

The Duck-billed Dragon whipped its head around, its jaws snapping on empty air.

The Beaked Eagle had already used the momentum to fly up again, continuously harassing it from the air. Fueled by the searing pain of the flames, the Duck-billed Dragon leader grew increasingly agitated. The deeper it waded into the cold lake, the more its body was submerged, and the more the pain on its back subsided.

The lake water made contact with the flames on its back, raising a large cloud of white steam. With every step it took, the pain on its back lessened, and even the attacks from that annoying thing became less frequent.

It continued to walk towards the depths of the lake. The gasoline created a thin film of oil on the water’s surface behind it, which continued to burn.

The water around it grew deeper. It hesitated, then looked back to see the oily film on the surface behind it still ablaze. The flames reflected in its pupils. The Duck-billed Dragon let out a low growl and kept moving forward, intending to cross the lake and reach the other shore.

Suddenly, its forelegs found nothing but water, and the front half of its massive body plunged into the depths.

A mass of bubbles erupted on the surface.

The Duck-billed Dragon leader struggled desperately, but the mud under its feet sank deeper and deeper, firmly sucking down its limbs.

Its huge body had now become a burden.

GLUG GLUG...

The Duck-billed Dragon leader’s head broke the surface. Although it was eighteen meters long, its shoulder height was only six meters. In the deep part of the lake, it was difficult for its head to stick out.

The Beaked Eagle landed heavily on its face, forcing it back under the water.

The lake water submerged its head.

On the lake’s surface, a few huge bubbles burst. The murky water gradually calmed, leaving only spreading ripples.

The Tyrannosaurs stood by the lake, watching the drowned Duck-billed Dragon leader. A flicker of caution crossed its eyes.

It snatched up the wild horse at its feet and left without a backward glance.

On the shore, the Duck-billed Dragon herd looked at their leader sinking to the bottom of the lake and let out mournful cries to the sky.

In the distance, He Biao felt his throat go dry. ’You can kill a dinosaur like that? Drown it? That’s way too lucky.’

In the sky, the Beaked Eagle was still circling above the lake.

Its flight speed grew faster and faster, until finally, it shot up like a sharp arrow, disappearing into the thick cloud layer.

SCREEE—

A cry that shook the Oasis echoed through the sky.

A black shadow descended from above. Almost no one present saw the movement clearly before the Beaked Eagle landed precisely beside Qin Ziwen.

Its appearance was no different than before; the Beaked Eagle’s size hadn’t changed.

But its talons had changed dramatically. They were a full size larger than before and gleamed with a metallic luster.

The stone beneath its feet was sliced apart as easily as tofu.

Du Yu stared grimly at the Beaked Eagle. He could sense an unprecedented threat from it now!

His hunter’s intuition was screaming at him: ’Extremely dangerous!’

The danger it exuded was not much less than that of the Tyrannosaurs.

’I can’t believe it actually managed to advance.’

Qin Ziwen was a bit dazed. ’It was just an attempt, setting up the gasoline near the Duck-billed Dragons in advance. As long as the dinosaur wasn’t foolish enough to charge into the fire, it wouldn’t be harmed. At most, it would just serve to drive them away and isolate them.’

’The main thing was relying on the sticky gasoline and the hot coal, delivered by the Beaked Eagle.’

’If the Duck-billed Dragon hadn’t run towards the lake after being startled, and had instead charged recklessly outwards, the gasoline would have had a hard time burning it to death.’

’Its body was just too big, and the gasoline’s burn area and duration were limited.’

’The pain from the flames clouded its judgment. That, combined with the panic caused by the burning gasoline floating on the water behind it, made it flee into the deep water and get stuck in the mud.’

’This was the advantage of an aerial unit. A ground-based creature would have found it nearly impossible to pull this off.’

’Timing, location, and execution—everything had aligned perfectly for the Beaked Eagle.’

Qin Ziwen used Insight on the Beaked Eagle.

[Extraordinary Sky Wings Beaked Eagle: ☆☆☆★★]: Level 2 Steel Claw, Level 2 Air Flow Manipulation, Level 2 Extreme Speed.

His gaze locked onto Air Flow Manipulation. ’Is this the Air Flow Manipulation I was imagining?’

’If it can manipulate air currents, combined with its explosive increase in strength, can it carry me now?’
