"Since that's the case..."
Staring up at the golden giant eagle perched a hundred meters high in the sky, wings spread wide, Yu Ziyu finally lost his last bit of patience.
Although his true form was just a willow tree, Yu Ziyu couldn't tolerate such prolonged mental tension.
Naturally, he decided to take action.
But the prerequisite was to make the golden giant eagle come down first.
Thinking this through, Yu Ziyu's thoughts began to race.
Why wasn't the golden eagle coming down?
And if it wasn't coming down, why was it lingering for so long without leaving?
One question after another spun in his mind.
After a moment, as if realizing something, Yu Ziyu suddenly sneered coldly:
"It must be wary. As an animal, even if it has evolved, its intelligence must not be high. The only reason it can spy from afar but hesitate to advance must be because of fear."
"It's afraid..."
"And the thing it's afraid of—definitely not the falcons, and probably not the red fox either. That leaves only me."
"But I haven't shown it anything too abnormal..."
Murmuring to himself, Yu Ziyu suddenly felt a sinking weight in his heart.
Because, up until now, he had not considered another possibility.
The aura—
The aura of a strong being.
His true form emitted an aura powerful enough to make the golden giant eagle fearful.
...
With this in mind, Yu Ziyu formed a plan.
Hoo...
Exhaling deeply, Yu Ziyu slowly relaxed the pores of his true body.
Trees breathe.
Yu Ziyu's true form was no exception.
But once, by chance, Yu Ziyu discovered he could freely control the tree's breathing.
In other words... he could hold his breath like a human for a long time.
And what did holding one's breath mean?
In Yu Ziyu's speculation, it should help reduce the emission of his aura.
Like a certain martial art in a past life—Turtle Breathing Technique.
"Inhale..."
Taking a deep breath again, Yu Ziyu decisively held his breath.
With a 'boom', the entire willow tree trembled slightly.
Immediately after, countless willow branches drooped down.
For a moment, the whole willow tree looked as if it were dead...
...
Meanwhile, deep in the sky,
"Yin..."
Another ear-piercing, stone-splitting cry sounded, and the golden giant eagle suddenly spread its wings.
A flash of human-like confusion crossed its eyes as it slowly approached the willow tree on the ground.
Its senses told it the tree's aura had suddenly weakened a great deal.
Yes, greatly weakened.
Although it still spread three to four meters, this aura was negligible compared to its usual seven meters.
In other words, this place seemed safe enough for it to hunt.
What puzzled it, however, was why the aura had suddenly weakened.
The confusion flickered away quickly.
The golden giant eagle did not probe further.
Its simple intelligence didn't allow for too much contemplation.
Compared to humans, its thinking was simple and pure.
Food was everything.
Now, there was no significant danger here—enough to hunt.
"Boom..."
With a flap of its wings, the golden giant eagle turned into an arrow released from a bow, diving down.
However, the golden giant eagle didn't notice that,
"Rumble..."
With slight tremors, the earth beneath Yu Ziyu's willow tree slowly cracked open, and one by one, long black roots over ten meters in length were revealed.
These twisting roots, under Yu Ziyu's control, moved like powerful arms.
"Spin..."
With an almost inaudible murmur, the black roots began to rotate slowly.
At the same time, their tips twisted and stretched until forming very sharp, cone-shaped points.
Looking up, it looked like nine black giant spears over ten meters long.
But these black spears were twisted round and round, and faint 'creaking' sounds came from the roots, as if they might snap any moment.
Moreover, this wasn't just one spear.
To guarantee a kill, Yu Ziyu had even mobilized the other eight major roots.
In other words, nine giant spears were concealed around him.
At this moment,
"Boom!"
The wind suddenly surged violently, shaking Yu Ziyu's entire body uncontrollably.
A tall tree attracts strong winds.
The golden giant eagle dived down, stirring up a fierce gale, which was not easy for Yu Ziyu to endure.
However, it was precisely because of the golden eagle's impressive dive that it didn't notice the black giant spears on the ground, all primed and ready.
"Yin..."
With a hint of excitement, the golden giant eagle stretched out its claws,
Then lunged its entire body toward Yu Ziyu's true form.
In Yu Ziyu's view, he only saw a shadow blotting out the sky.
But at that moment, Yu Ziyu moved.
With a speed beyond human imagination, he moved.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
With continuous sounds of air being pierced, nine black giant spears shot up toward the sky.
"Yin..."
Sensing danger, the golden giant eagle suddenly hesitated.
But with the speed it had already gained, it was impossible to stop so abruptly.
With a 'bang', flapping wildly, it was impaled by one of the black giant spears.
A ripping sound rang out, sparks flying like flames as Yu Ziyu's tree-root spear—hard as steel—pierced the golden giant eagle's wing.
"Damn, this is so hard?"
Yu Ziyu's heart gave a startled exclamation, feeling a bit helpless.
No wonder the system rated the golden eagle's wings as alloy-hardness—the toughness was undeniable.
But that was all it could do.
