Return to the Base with Eagle Queen and Eagle King

Bang!

Who had defeated all the birds in an instant? It was the mighty divine beast, of course.

Heiyu waved his claw, and the last few golden eagles that were still in the air shrank back to their normal sizes, falling on the ground with a loud bang one after another. Yun Che waved his hand to pocket the dead golden eagles. With a glance at the eagles that were injured but still alive, he patted Heiyu's shoulder. Heiyu got his nonverbal message and said to the eagles lying on the ground, "I know you're not dead yet. Catch up."

Without waiting for the response from the eagles, Heiyu shrank and carried Yun Che on his back before swaggering towards Xing Feng. "Man, look at you. You can't even handle a few tiny eagles."

'Not everyone has divine power like you, alright?'

Rolling his eyes, Xing Feng drew back his Ribbon and jumped off Wolf King's back, saying as he walked over. "Did you get the Blood Vine?"

"Uh-huh."

Yun Che, who just landed on the ground with his feet, nodded and stared at the two shivering golden eagles lying on the stomach behind Xing Feng. Though they had transformed back to their normal form, they were still around a meter high. They had mighty appearances, but unfortunately, Heiyu was much more intimidating and powerful.

"Heiyu, ask them if either of them is willing to become Xing Feng's pet."

Initially, he thought about taming a hawk for Xing Feng, but at this moment, he already had a better choice.

"Did you hear me? Stop shivering; otherwise, I'll swallow you alive."

Having been ignored once again, Heiyu glared at the two eagles like a villain bullying the weak.

"Coo!"

The bigger golden eagle moved closer to the injured one and looked up to coo towards Heiyu. But it looked down very soon as it was really scared.

"The eagle says that they're a couple, and they won't leave each other even if they die. Both of them are at level three, almost level four. The smaller one is a male, and the bigger one is a female."

Stared by his master, Heiyu resigned himself to translating for them. Yun Che touched his chin and pondered a bit before saying, "Do you mind having two pets?"

If Xing Feng didn't want two eagles, they could give one to Xingchen. Since they lived together, the two eagles wouldn't be separated in that case.

"One for you, and one for me. What do you think?" Xing Feng suggested.

Before Yun Che could respond, Heiyu was agitated. "My master already has me. He doesn't need another pet."

If any beast tried to steal half of his master's love from him, he would eat that beast right away. His master was exclusive to him.

"Haha… Did you hear that? I have to indulge him occasionally."

Yun Che turned his palms up and shrugged with a chuckle. Whether the golden eagle was strong or weak, having Heiyu was enough for him.

"Okay. Then, I'll just raise two pets," Xing Feng said with a smile.

Knowing that the divine beast was a jealous kind, Xing Feng realized he didn't have any other choice. Without waiting for Yun Che's instruction, Heiyu immediately ordered the two eagles to look up and open their mouths. He pushed out two drops of blood to drip into their mouths. "From now on, he will be your master. Don't ever get near my master. Do you hear me?"

"Coo…"

The two eagles cooed without any delay. As soon as the blood of the divine beast entered their bodies, the female eagle's feathers that had been fried by Heiyu regrow rapidly, and the male eagle's wound caused by Xing Feng immediately healed with new feathers on it. They fluttered their wings and nodded at Xing Feng. This was their way to declare that as of this moment, Xing Feng would become their master.

"We should give them names, don't you think?"

Yun Che looked at Xing Feng and suggested. They couldn't just call these two eagles "female eagle" and "male eagle", could they?

"Eagle King and Eagle Queen."

Xing Feng decided their names without pondering much. Though he would be raising these birds domestically, he didn't want them to lose their nature as wild beasts.

"Sounds fine to me."

After their names were decided, Yun Che turned around and walked up to the heavily injured golden eagles. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath before transporting one of them into his Space.

"Hmm…"

Although this eagle was not as giant as Eagle King or Eagle Queen, it still had a large size. Feeling salty in his throat, Yun Che hurriedly pursed his lips to prevent the blood from coming out. After several minutes, he finally managed to put the golden eagle into the Space.

"Eh-hem."

"Che!"

"Brother!"

The moment that golden eagle disappeared, Yun Che spat out blood and flopped on the ground on one knee. The others who had been paying close attention to him hurried over, but Yun Che raised his hand to stop them. He took out a bottle of spring water and drank it before transporting another golden eagle into the Space. With that being done repeatedly, he finally transported all the four dying eagles into the Space, and the whole process took almost an hour.

"Che!"

As soon as the last golden eagle disappeared, Xing Feng rushed forward to support him, who was already exhausted. Yun Cheng also hurried over to grab his arm. Staring at the blood on his lips, Yun Cheng felt an unknown impulsion that he had experienced once before. He involuntarily grabbed Yun Che's hand harder. "Brother…"

He was feeling awful! He didn't want to flip out, but he couldn't help himself at the sight of his brother's blood.

Having noticed his agitation, Yun Che grabbed his hand, saying with a faint smile. "Everything is going to be fine. You just need to take a rest. Don't surrender to yourself just because I'm injured."

At this point, Yun Cheng shouldn't have had such a strong reaction to blood. He only became agitated because it was Yun Che who had got injured, just like he had a strong reaction when he saw their sister get injured and spit out blood in the past. Yun Che was like a father to Yun Cheng, so it was quite normal that Yun Cheng felt agitated seeing him bleeding. This incident reminded him that he should be careful and avoid getting injured in front of Yun Cheng in the future.

"Uh-huh."

With a nod, Yun Cheng took out a level-3 crystal nucleus and stuffed it into his mouth. Leng Yehan, who had been standing by his side all the time, reached out to embrace him. "Don't worry. Why don't we let Captain Xing carry your brother to Heiyu's back? He'll be fine."

Yun Cheng shifted his gaze from Yun Che, who was smiling at him, to Leng Yehan, and hesitated. After a while, he finally let go of his brother, allowing Leng Yehan to carry him.

"You were reckless just now. You could have taken your time."

Heiyu, who had been unusually quiet, got down on his stomach so that Xing Feng could put Yun Che on his back.

"Haha…"

Knowing that Xing Feng was worried about him, Yun Che chuckled gently. He looked exhausted because he had suffered the recoil from the Space, but he would recover after some rest. Breakthrough and improvement always come at a price.

"You've heard the man? He's worried about you."

Heiyu was upset. Although he complained about his master whenever he got a chance, he was more worried than anyone else when Yun Che was injured.

"Let's go home."

After putting Yun Che on Heiyu's back, Xing Feng climbed up and sat behind Yun Che with his arms around Yun's waist, making sure Yun Che lean in his arms in a comfortable posture. Everyone remained silent at that moment. When Leng Yehan and Yun Cheng got on their mount, Heiyu started to run down the mountain. The two eagles fluttered up to the sky, staying close behind them. The mountain woods that had been noisy for several hours finally regained its peace, and the shivering mutant beasts were relieved.

"Look! What's that?"

"Hawks? They're so big! I think they're eagles."

"They're following behind Captain Xing. Did Captain Yun just tame another two pets?"

"Damn it! Is Captain Yun trying to open a zoo of powerful combat beasts?"

When they returned to the base, it was almost five o'clock in the afternoon. Though the Superfunction Association didn't assign any missions today, many superfunction possessors had gone outside to kill zombies and collect crystal nuclei. These people were returning to the base one after another at this moment. At the sight of the two golden eagles hovering in the sky, everyone stopped involuntarily. They looked at the people riding Heiyu and Wolf King towards the gate of the base and exclaimed with envy and jealousy. Words have it that mutant beasts have mighty combat power. Who wouldn't want one? Even the military had the intention to conquer some mutant beasts, but nobody dared to get into the depth of the mountains. The zombie-beasts they usually ran into couldn't be tamed as pets, because those zombie-beasts were only interested in attacking and biting people.

Bang!

With no patience to wait in the line, Heiyu jumped up and leaped into the base. Wolf King followed behind him, and so did the two golden eagles. The guards on the city wall had long been used to this. None of them tried to stop these beasts or birds, as they didn't want to be mentally tortured by Heiyu once again. Soon, the four people, two beasts, and two birds disappeared in the distance.

"They actually bring back two golden eagles."

Watching their receding figures, Major General Su mumbled with a hint of admiration in his eyes. But soon, he sighed and summoned a soldier over. He instructed the soldier to report to their leaders that Xing Feng and Yun Che not only had returned from the mountain, but they had also conquered two eagles, which was something they had to attach great importance to.

When they returned home, Xing Feng carried Yun Che into their bedroom, and Yun Che didn't try to refuse. After telling Xing Feng how to use the Blood Vine, he went into his Space to rest. Heiyu followed him inside. Knowing that Yun Che would recover soon, Xing Feng was no longer so worried. He went downstairs and asked Gu Mingxuan to take the root of the Blood Vine to the canteen and have Chef Qin decoct the root. He also gave the instruction to gather all the wood superfunction possessors immediately.

After Chef Qin made the decoction, Xing Feng asked everyone to drink some. And then, he took out the Blood Vine that Yun Che had divided into many sections and instructed the wood superfunction possessors to plant the sections under the fence of the community and use superfunction to make them grow as fast as possible. Despite that it was supposed to be dinner time, everyone went to plant the plants immediately. Meng Xu personally planted some outside the window and under the wall of their villas.

"Is Che alright?"

"He's just tired. After taking some rest, he'll be fine. Is there any news from Wenyang?"

Leaning against the sofa, Xing Feng rubbed his nose bridge. Having gone through so much today, he was tired, too.

"Major General Mo ordered a search throughout the camp to make it look like he believed an invisibility superfunction possessor had sneaked into his camp. And then, he claimed to the public that they had caught the invisibility superfunction possessor an hour after the search. Words have it that the entire Wang Army is in a panic now. Major General Mo is thinking about kidnapping an invisibility superfunction possessor and using hypnosis to compel him to say that it was Wei Kan who had ordered him to sneak into Mo's camp, and that his accomplice had sneaked into Wang's camp. Mo also wants the invisibility superfunction possessor to say that he stole the classified school plan from Mo Army and sent it back to Wei Kan. Thus, Wei Army will take a big hit in reputation."

Having learned that Yun Che was fine, everyone was relieved. Gu Mingxuan told Xing Feng about Mo Wenyang's plan, which he believed was feasible. The plan would make up for their loss and convince Wang Wei to suspect Wei Kan even more. If they successfully drove a wedge between those two armies, Mo Army would be the one benefiting the most.

"Uh-huh. If we can catch an invisibility superfunction possessor, this is indeed a good plan to attack Wei Army. But we shouldn't underestimate Wang Wei. He's got many talents helping him. We might be able to fool him for a while, but he'll come back to his senses sooner or later. What's more, even if it's been proven that Wei Army has sent a scout into their camp, Wang Wei will weigh the pros and cons before he comes after Wei Army, as he doesn't want Mo Army to benefit from their fight and become stronger. He knows better than anyone else that if Wei Army is out of the picture, his army will become Mo's next target. I don't think Wang Wei will allow this to happen."

Having seen through their intentions, Xing Feng reminded Gu Mingxuan. Wang Wei and Wei Kan were no fools. Besides, they had think tanks to prevent them from making wrong decisions. Therefore, it wouldn't be easy to fool them.

"I see."

Gu Mingxuan responded with a grave look. He realized that things were not as simple as he had thought. Their rivals were humans instead of robots. Hence, he shouldn't expect those people to react exactly as he had anticipated. It seemed that the small victory had made him a little slack.
