Chapter 515: The Towering Tree

Of course, there were also legends about synthesizing tier 6 gemstones.

But to synthesize tier 6 gemstones, in addition to the ten tier 5 gemstones, there were also some special raw materials.

Not only that, the failure rate during the synthesis process was extremely high.

So until now, tier 6 gemstones were only legends. No one had ever seen them.

Even if they had the conditions, they didn’t have the confidence to synthesize it. If they failed, they would end up with nothing.

Just as the few of them headed towards the center of the tree, ready to harvest resources…

They heard a high-pitched cry from not far away.

Klein suddenly looked up and indeed saw an eagle circling in the sky.

Klein frowned slightly. So there were actually normal creatures in this space?

This Brahma Tree, which grew from the seed of the God of Heaven, had special powers.

It could maintain a balanced ecosystem in a narrow space.

Not only were there all kinds of birds flying in the sky, there were also many snakes, insects, rats, and ants.

However, these creatures seem to have undergone evolution due to special reasons. They were more or less different from ordinary creatures.

For example, the eagle that was currently hovering in the sky was so large that it was beyond imagination.

When it spread its wings, it could be said to blot out the sun. The shadow of its entire body enveloped the surroundings of the tree.

Klein had a bad premonition.

The eagle’s cries were somewhat agitated. It sounded like it had seen an enemy that had invaded from outside, and the warning it gave made the few of them be careful.

“I think that huge eagle could attack us at any time!”

Humans would always feel a sense of fear when encountering beasts that were bigger and more ferocious than them.

Especially after the eagle circled in the air, it flew lower and lower and dove toward the group,

Cruise was shocked and took a few steps back.

“That guy really seems to be coming for us. Could it be that we invaded its territory and angered it?”

James shook his head gently. “That won’t happen. This kind of creature is different from what you imagine.”

It soared through the sky without any intention of having any territory. It was probably because it was hungry and wanted to find some food.

…

Cruise’s fear was even greater. It couldn’t be? Did it really treat them as food?

This huge eagle was several times larger than a human. These three people were not enough for it to eat at all. They were just a gap between its teeth.

The eagle’s flying speed was extremely fast.

Previously, it was only a black dot in the distance, but it had already arrived in front of them in an instant.

And now, they were only at the branch of a tree. They had to be careful with every step they took, or they would fall into the bottomless abyss.

Under such circumstances, it was very difficult to escape.

Left with no choice, Cruise could only find a relatively thick branch to hide.

As for Klein and James, they were much braver and prepared to fight the eagle!

However, compared to creatures that grew on land and those with wings, they were always at a disadvantage,

Against the eagle that had failed in its attack and had instead soared into the sky, Klein and James, who didn’t have any flying skills, were clearly at a disadvantage.

The eagle swooped down once again, flapping its huge wings. The wind was strong.

James felt his body float up, and he instantly rolled to the edge of the pontoon bridge as he rolled down.

Klein was taken aback as he rushed up and grabbed James’ wrist tightly,

James’ body swayed in the air like a pendulum, and he could fall into the endless abyss at any moment.

No one knew where the bottom layer of the tree was, but falling from such a height would definitely result in him being reduced to nothing.

James was truly frightened. He didn’t expect that his wrist would be grabbed tightly the moment he fell.

He looked up and saw Klein’s anxious face. He seemed to be having some trouble.

“Hold on, don’t let go. If you let go, you’ll fall!”

James secretly regretted it. It seemed like he should have been more careful and not be so careless.

He noticed that the moment the eagle swooped down, Klein would lean down and grab the branch of the pontoon.

This ensured that his body wouldn’t be swept away by the strong wind, but James didn’t have the experience of being struck by such a thing!

It was probably afraid that its prey would really be swept off the cliff by the strong wind, and that such a delicacy would be wasted.

The eagle also stopped flapping its wings, and the strong wind suddenly stopped.

Seeing that the two of them were already trapped at the edge of the pontoon, the eagle let out a joyful cry. It had already treated the two of them as its possessions.

Another dive. The speed was too fast for one’s eyes to take in. The sharp beak pecked at Klein.

The situation had reached a critical juncture.

Cruise hurriedly shouted, “Quickly dodge! That fellow is flying down!”

Klein and James looked up at the same time. A huge shadow had already enveloped their bodies.

James sighed softly. It seemed like it was impossible to escape unscathed under the circumstances today.

He hurriedly shouted, “Let go! Klein, let go of my hand! Otherwise, both of us will be finished!”

Of course, James knew that the lesser of two evils was the lesser of two evils.

Although he was very touched by Klein’s act of stepping forward to save him, if both of them were to die in the abyss because of Klein’s last attempt to save them, it wouldn’t be worth it.

If one of them really had to die in the end, then let him die alone.

James had already closed his eyes tightly, preparing to receive the final judgment of death.

But to his surprise, Klein made an unexpected reaction.

Klein wasn’t someone who would abandon his teammates so easily.

Although the situation before him was critical, he had a way to save both of them from danger,

Just as the huge shadow swooped down, and it was about to attack Klein, Klein suddenly flipped over and jumped down from where he was on the branch!

That’s right, he had taken the initiative to jump down. Furthermore, his right hand was tightly grabbing James’ wrist, but he never let go.

James suddenly felt his body falling non-stop. The huge feeling of weightlessness made him feel dizzy.

Following that, the feeling of weightlessness suddenly disappeared. He had actually followed Klein and landed in a safe place!

It turned out that in that instant, Klein had done the opposite.

He deliberately avoided the attack of the giant eagle and jumped down with James.

Although the two of them fell very quickly, Klein’s reaction was faster.

Surrounded by a mess of tree branches, he reached out and grabbed one of the stronger ones.
