God Three Group Chat: Three Kingdoms

...

To Zhao Yun, these Haast eagles in front of him were not only huge in size, but also extremely fast.

As for its combat effectiveness, just by looking at the fact that it killed a moa that was more than ten times larger than itself and took it away as food, you can tell that its combat effectiveness is definitely not low.

Moreover, out of biological instinct, when faced with a creature stronger than themselves, most creatures will choose to escape. Only a very small number of creatures will choose to face the enemy head-on, which can be regarded as a manifestation of some kind of fearlessness.

"This is very interesting!" Zhao Yun watched the positions of these Haast eagles moving in the air. Many of them even flew to higher altitudes, requiring him to raise his head slightly to be able to see the target.

This difference in height advantage is a very obvious hunting habit of the Haast's eagle. Only by flying higher can it see wider, lock onto the target better, and also make it easier to attack.

Without the strengthening of internal energy, even the most ordinary Haast's eagle can achieve a diving hunting speed of more than 80 kilometers.

Their huge size, strong physical fitness, and high muscle density allow them to ignore the resistance and impact of flying.

In this world alienated by the essence of heaven and earth, the Haast's Eagle has also undergone more terrifying changes, with a larger body, thicker muscles, and years of wandering around volcanoes, which has brought it a special resistance to fire.

So much so that in Zhao Yun's eyes, the Haast Eagle was really similar to the Phoenix.

Not only is its appearance brightly colored, making it look particularly noble, but it is also ferocious in combat.

The Haast Eagle soaring in the sky stared at Zhao Yun with its eyes and was ready to attack.

As the top predator in the sky, the Haast's eagle has no rivals even if it fights alone. What's more, the Haast's eagle is a rare top predator that can live in groups, just like the killer whales in the ocean, which are not only strong but also numerous.

With these conditions, the prey of the Haast's eagle naturally includes all living things walking on the ground, and even other birds flying in the sky.

However, the huge size also brings huge consumption. For most Haast's eagles, the main source of food is moa.

A creature that is huge in size, has a lot of meat and is extremely nutritious, each of which can weigh several hundred kilograms or even a ton.

Killing just one would be enough to feed a colony of Haast's eagles for several days.

The largest bird Zhao Yun had ever seen before was Liu Tong's "little eagle", whose wingspan could reach as much as five meters. Even so, the eagle weighed only three hundred kilograms.

But even so, its load capacity is enough to drag several tons of objects and soar into the sky.

When Liu Tong does not have any travel mission, the task performed by "Little Eagle" is basically emergency response.

Ultra-long-distance rapid replenishment of the materials carried can provide some disaster relief supplies to solve emergency problems that occur in a short period of time.

Of course, this seemingly good behavior also has a very high price behind it.

The 'eagle' has a strong digestive ability and a high utilization rate of nutrients. Even so, it consumes nearly 1/4 of its body weight in meat every day. If it were another breeder, it would not necessarily be able to afford such a luxurious bird. However, for Liu Tong, nearly kilograms of meat every day is not a problem. At least after the improvement of large-scale livestock breeding, this meat consumption does not seem so terrible.

As for the civil and military officials in the court who had a little knowledge, they had no objection to this kind of consumption, and some even hoped to have more.

If there is only one, it can only solve urgent problems in certain special circumstances, but if there is a large group, then a lot of things can be changed.

The strategic significance of being able to carry several tons of supplies and move at speeds of hundreds of kilometers per hour is enough to make it unnecessary for most long-distance expeditions.

Compared with the food loss during normal transportation, just eating this little bit of meat is really a small cost.

However, this idea did not occur to Zhao Yun's mind at this moment. He just wanted to pack up the phoenix in front of him, take it to Chang'an, and get another sacred beast.

There is no corresponding information about the Black Tortoise in the north and the Azure Dragon in the east, and I have never heard of them. But the Phoenix Zixu has at least mentioned them. If something can be accomplished by taking a detour, why not do it?

As if noticing that Zhao Yun had not moved for a long time, the Haast's Eagle, which had already exhausted its energy while soaring in the sky, finally decided not to hesitate or remain in a stalemate and directly swooped down to launch an attack.

The Haast's eagle has a sharp hooked beak and claws like tiger claws, which contain terrifying lethality and destructive power.

The strong physical fitness combined with the extremely fast speed allows the Haast's eagle to burst out with extremely strong impact and sharp attack in a very short time.

The coordination among the tribe and the vigilance against the strong made these Haast's eagles launch attacks at almost the same time, with only a few meters between them.

It may be very far on land, but for these eagles soaring at high speed in the sky, it is basically just a body length away, which can ensure the continuity of the attack.

However, for Zhao Yun, this offensive method had no lethality. He simply took the spear in his hand, turned it horizontally and hit it with the spear shaft. In a breath, several Haast eagles that launched the attack fell directly to the ground as if they were hit hard.

Before falling to the ground, Zhao Yun grabbed these Haast eagles at a faster speed and placed them steadily on the ground.

Feeling the weight in his palm, Zhao Yun nodded with satisfaction.

With such a large body, it is indeed quite heavy. Any one of them weighs nearly 100 kilograms. No wonder it has such fighting power.

As for the Haast's Eagle, its body size itself is also one of the measures of its combat effectiveness, because the Haast's Eagle has a terrifying load-bearing capacity that is enough to drag more than 15 times its body weight. This is an important reason why they hunt large moas.

Because they consume a lot of energy and it must be meat, there are actually not many people who can become prey for these top predators.

That is to say, it is quite far away from Australia, otherwise the kangaroos jumping around in that place would also become the hunting target of Haast's eagle.

By directly breaking away from previous thinking habits and leaving the place where they have lived for generations, the Haast's eagle can not only live well, but its number will also increase rapidly, because the Haast's eagle is a strong one, one of the strongest in the sky.
