Chapter 58

Its efforts were clearly futile.

With a slight turn, Qin Han effortlessly dodged the attack again, never once interrupting his relentless barrage of arrows.

In just two charges, he had already whittled the Golden Eagle's HP down to below half.

By now, the Golden Eagle seemed to have descended into utter madness, launching suicidal assaults without regard for its own life.

Once!

Twice!

Thrice!

...

Amid their relentless exchanges, the Golden Eagle's HP plummeted to the brink.

Afflicted with a severe injury debuff, it could not regenerate HP—instead, its life force trickled away bit by bit.

At this rate, even without Qin Han lifting a finger, the creature would soon bleed to death!

Boom!

The remnants of its sanity flared in its final moments.

This time, instead of charging, it twisted its body and fled, dragging its broken form as it wobbled unsteadily toward the heart of the island.

It needed to return to its nest—only there could its wounds heal, only there could it survive!

Golden blood dripped from the sky, leaving a scattered trail of glistening droplets in its wake.

Qin Han stowed away the Godslayer Bow, ceasing his attacks.

Mounted atop Nightmare, he leisurely trailed behind the Golden Eagle.

Thud!

Nightmare leaped onto the island's soil.

The dense jungle was shrouded in a faint mist.

Before they had taken more than a few steps, Qin Han caught a whiff of a faint, elusive fragrance.

His head instantly grew heavy, his steps unsteady.

Then— The Witch Poison Pearl suddenly emitted a radiant glow, enveloping him.

"Toxin barrier detected. Auto-absorption initiated."

A few seconds later, the Witch Poison Pearl's properties updated once more.

Witch Poison Pearl: Unique Treasure.

Feeds on witchcraft toxins, the bane of all poisons in the world.

- Attacks inflict Deadly Poison (200 HP per second for 10 seconds).

- Skill: Soul Accumulation Technique (A curse that gathers the resentment of slain creatures, which can be unleashed during attacks.)

- Skill: Deadly Poison (AoE damage: Deals 500 HP per second to enemies, with a 35% healing reduction effect, lasting 10 seconds.)

- Passive Skill: Poison Barrier Aura (When activated, enemies within a 100-meter radius suffer continuous toxin damage—100 HP per second—while their movement speed is reduced by 50%.)

Qin Han smiled in satisfaction.

As expected of a Unique Treasure—always reliable.

So dependable.

Moreover, the newly acquired Poison Barrier Aura was especially formidable.

Though the toxin damage was modest, the 50% movement speed reduction was nothing short of divine.

From now on, activating this aura within a 100-meter radius would grant him overwhelming dominance in battle.

Lost in thought, he noticed the Golden Eagle had already soared past several groves, heading toward the distant mountains.

Snapping back to focus, he swiftly gave chase.

Time passed steadily.

The Golden Eagle arrived at a steep cliffside where its nest lay.

Casting a wary glance around, it confirmed its pursuer had not caught up before finally slipping into the nest and settling down.

As the nest's mysterious energy began mending its wounds, the Golden Eagle finally relaxed.

"Damnable human... Once I recover, I will return. I’ll scour the ends of the earth to tear you apart!"

"I’ll dry your flesh into jerky and savor every bite!"

The thought of future revenge sent waves of excitement through the Golden Eagle's body. Its emotions grew increasingly fervent, even speeding up the healing of its wounds.

Suddenly, a man and a horse leaped into the entrance of the nest.

"Damn it, this cave's angle is so tricky—I almost fell off the cliff. Ugh, getting back up is going to be a pain," Qin Han sighed deeply, muttering to himself at the entrance.

Then, his gaze shifted inside the cave.

A dazzling golden light filled his vision, so bright it was hard to keep his eyes open. Golden cups, golden spoons, golden pots, golden bowls—everything in sight was made of gold.

"Holy cow, the legends really weren't baseless rumors. This is going to be a huge payday!"

Abruptly, a sharp, piercing eagle cry rang out.

Clearly, the Golden Eagle had noticed him.
