Four Yao Birdlings remained around the great eagle Amon was riding on. As for the other six enemies, they were targeting the other great eagle.
This other great eagle underwent a worse experience. One of the reasons was that it didn't carry Amon. The other was because the Yao Bird was among the enemies that targeted it.
While five Yao Birdlings harassed the great eagle and took the soldiers' attention inside the howdah, the Yao Bird again unleashed its black smoke. It then flew high above before diving down at high speed. It came from the great eagle's blind spot. Its big claws crashed into the roof of the howdah, shattering it. Its long neck shot at the great eagle's head. Its jaws, filled with sharp teeth, bit the great eagle's neck. The great eagle screeched in pain from the assault.
