Lu Hongfei didn't immediately summon the Golden-eyed Fire Eagle, but instead kept a close watch on the rear.
He couldn't be sure if the Wild Force Golden Eagle had truly left or if it was a trap set by the opponent.
If it had really left, he would still need it to fly further away before he could summon the Golden-eyed Fire Eagle; otherwise, if the opponent made a sudden return, their situation would be even more dangerous.
At this moment, the ground bulged again, and the Molten Earth Dragon suddenly appeared beneath a Golden Armored Bull, its grotesque mouthparts instantly shredding it into pieces.
Chu Chen frowned upon seeing this. The Molten Earth Dragon wasn't indiscriminately devouring any prey it caught up to; it was selective. It had first eaten two sheep-type Star Beasts, and this time it was a Golden Armored Bull. It seemed to have a particular preference for its food.
Just as Chu Chen was pondering, the Molten Earth Dragon seemed to sense something, turning its head to gaze at the three of them, a look of longing flashed in its eyes.
Seeing this, Chu Chen's expression changed abruptly; he was all too familiar with this look—it's the same expression he showed whenever he spotted a delicious meal.
"Director, run quickly, the Molten Earth Dragon is coming towards us."
Upon hearing this, Lu Hongfei's complexion changed instantly. He quickly turned his head and saw the earth's layers continuously cracking open in the direction where the Burning Flame Fierce Tiger had fled.
Lu Hongfei gritted his teeth, with no more hesitation in his heart. He waved his hand to summon the Golden-eyed Fire Eagle, then grabbed Chu Chen and the others and forcefully tossed them onto the back of the Golden-eyed Fire Eagle.
At this time, the Molten Earth Dragon, sensing the aura of the Golden-eyed Fire Eagle, doubled its pursuit speed, while an angry low growl emanated from underground.
Lu Hongfei didn't dare to slack off; he leapt directly onto the back of the Golden-eyed Fire Eagle, waved his hand to collect the Burning Flame Fierce Tiger into the Soul Sea.
Before Lu Hongfei could urge it, the Golden-eyed Fire Eagle swiftly flapped its wings and soared towards the sky.
Chu Chen looked down and saw the Molten Earth Dragon rushing towards them at an incredible speed.
Just as Chu Chen was about to look away, he inadvertently noticed that Zhang Yuyan seemed to be clutching something in her hand, her expression full of distress.
Chu Chen was taken aback by this sight. Judging by Zhang Yuyan's demeanor, could it be that what she held could deal with the Molten Earth Dragon?
Thinking of this, Chu Chen couldn't help but show an astonished look; the wealth of the "little rich girl" was indeed terrifying.
But judging by her expression, the item seemed extremely precious; otherwise, she wouldn't have waited until now to take it out.
By this time, the Molten Earth Dragon had already appeared beneath the Golden-eyed Fire Eagle, the ground instantly exploded, and its enormous body emerged directly from underground.
Its body bounced up, shockingly propelling itself into the air to bite the Golden-eyed Fire Eagle.
The explosion power of the Molten Earth Dragon was extremely terrifying, and this leap reached a height of a hundred meters.
Feeling the heatwave below, the Golden-eyed Fire Eagle quickly shifted its shape, narrowly avoiding the Molten Earth Dragon's attack.
The Molten Earth Dragon's leap height reached its limit; just as it was about to fall, a terrifying Star Power lifted its massive body. It twisted its body and pursued the Golden-eyed Fire Eagle again.
Seeing this, Chu Chen was immediately shocked, pointing at the Molten Earth Dragon and stammering, "How is this possible, it can actually fly."
The next moment, his head was slapped.
"Don't be surprised, you look like someone who hasn't seen the world. After a Star Beast breaks through to the King Level, their control over Star Power reaches a terrifying level; speaking and flying are merely basic applications," Lu Hongfei explained with irritation.
Hearing this, Chu Chen's face turned ugly; by that account, it seemed they might be difficult to escape.
Lu Hongfei seemed to understand what Chu Chen was thinking, as he smiled and said, "You don't need to worry too much. Although this Molten Earth Dragon can fly using Star Power, its massive size consumes a great amount of Star Power, and it's very slow. With the speed of the Golden-eyed Fire Eagle, we can quickly leave it behind."
At this point, the Molten Earth Dragon let out another roar of anger, with a dense convergence of fire elements. It opened its mouth, spewing a hot stream of magma.
Chu Chen was shocked by this scene; the Golden-eyed Fire Eagle had already distanced itself a hundred meters from the Molten Earth Dragon, yet he could still clearly feel the terrifying heatwaves emitted by the magma.
His lips instantly cracked, his hair started to curl, and a faint smell of burning came through.
Lu Hongfei suddenly let out a low shout, erecting a barrier behind everyone.
Chu Chen only felt the terrifying heatwave reduce significantly.
"Screech"
The Golden-eyed Fire Eagle let out a loud eagle cry, with dense fire and gold elements quickly converging.
In the blink of an eye, a golden-red sphere about one meter wide formed in front of it.
Under the control of the Golden-eyed Fire Eagle, the sphere flew from its head, heading straight towards the magma.
With a loud "boom", the golden-red sphere collided heavily with the magma. The massive booming sound instantly deafened Chu Chen.
An immensely terrifying wave of heat followed, causing cracks in the barrier protecting the three people, with cracking sounds echoing.
Seeing this, Lu Hongfei erected another barrier behind them.
"Bang"
The first barrier shattered instantly, followed by the second and third.
With a series of "bang bang" muted sounds, Lu Hongfei continuously released barriers, his complexion becoming increasingly pale.
At this time, the Golden-eyed Fire Eagle let out a miserable scream, its enormous body hurled off. It endured the intense pain, flapping its wings rapidly, utilizing the residual blast wave to extend the distance from the Molten Earth Dragon by another hundred meters.
Without slowing down, it flew at extreme speed into the high sky, then used its own weight to dive at extreme speed in a diagonal manner.
Its diving speed was faster than flying, and in the blink of an eye, it had dashed hundreds of meters.
Seeing this, the Molten Earth Dragon realized there was no hope of catching up. It opened its grotesque mouthparts, letting out an angry low roar.
Long after, the Molten Earth Dragon finally retracted its gaze. It lowered its head slightly, gazing at the fleeing Star Beasts below with anger, which seemed to find a target for its release.
In the Earth Dragon Forest, the wails of Star Beasts continued for a full hour before ceasing.
Of course, this is a tale for the later.
After the Golden-eyed Fire Eagle escaped the Molten Earth Dragon's attack range, it didn't slow down a bit, blood continuously trickling from the corners of its mouth, indicating severe injuries.
At this time, Zhang Yuyan, who had remained silent the whole time, suddenly spoke up, "This is a Sixth-Grade Healing Pill, it will greatly help with its injuries." After saying this, she tossed over a wooden box.
Lu Hongfei raised his hand to catch the wooden box. He opened it carefully to reveal a Six-Stripe Elixir the size of a dragon's eye.
"No, this is too precious," Lu Hongfei said gravely.
"Keep it, I have more over here," Zhang Yuyan said softly.
Upon hearing this, Lu Hongfei pondered for a moment, then solemnly replied, "Then, thank you very much." With that, he no longer hesitated and directly fed the Elixir to the Golden-eyed Fire Eagle.
