The Dark Undying Golden Eagle King

Two twin beautiful sorceresses followed QingZhu. At a closer look, their graceful figures were charming and their slender waists swayed gently, displaying myriad styles. Particularly, their delicate jade faces were so exquisite that one couldn't help but marvel at the creator's immense powers, to be able to sculpt such flawless works.

Their identical looks and figures were especially striking. One was icy and the other was fiery, one was demure and the other was lively, yet they were so similar. Watching the two of them was truly a great pleasure.

Could it be that their looks were truly enhanced? How else could they be so outstanding, so beautiful, and so alluring, even to someone like me who had seen many beauties, I couldn't help but feel a dizzying sensation.

"Really, they are divine instruments. You are lucky to have them so quickly," QingZhu said, taking the two Nanmu Eagle Staffs from me and passing them over to the twin sorceresses.

"Thank you, QingZhu elder sister. If it weren't for you, we would have been killed by the BOSS. We can't accept these two weapons, nor should they belong to us," BingYu declined QingZhu's kindness without even looking at the weapons.

Wait, what does this mean? How come they are only thanking QingZhu and not me? Didn't they see how hard I worked to carry the monsters? They should thank me too.

"It's nothing. Stone and I just helped you two kill the monsters. These things belong to you," QingZhu said, rejecting BingYu's words.

Before I could refute BingYu's statement, QingZhu hastily handed the two divine instruments to BingYu and tried to persuade the twin sisters.

"QingZhu elder sister, we can't accept them. The BOSS was killed by you. We can't take them," HuoWu said, smiling warmly and intimately as she pulled QingZhu closer. Her delicate jade face was full of loveliness, but her opinion was just as firm as her sister's.

"This…this…what should we do? Are we going to let people say that Stone and I snatched your BOSS?" QingZhu panicked. She only wanted to help these two sisters out of kindness and had no other thoughts.

"I am only helping you kill monsters, you must take these two weapons."

I'm dizzy, what's going on? Last time, QingZhu and I fought over a pet egg, and now we're fighting over two immortal weapons. For others, this kind of thing is too ridiculous.

"QingZhu, okay, let's split these two items, one for each of us. This way, no one can complain about the distribution of the loot."

HuoWu glanced at me with disdain in her eyes. If it weren't for this QingZhu, that despicable knight would not have been able to stand so close to them, let alone be in their party.

If it weren't for QingZhu being uncomfortable in the middle, that despicable knight would not have begged them to take these two items he had touched.

I'm dizzy, I thought these two sisters were being polite, but it turns out they have a grudge against me for my joke.

They are really petty. I have forgotten those words, but they remember them so well. No wonder people always say, "Only villains and women are difficult to deal with."

"It was just a misunderstanding earlier, a joke. We were just helping you guys defeat the boss, so anything that drops should be yours."

The two twin beauties, who were also mages with distinct personalities, were about to compete with me, but QingZhu kept signaling me with her eyes, so I quickly apologized.

"BingYu, HuoWu, the stone is really nice. It was just a joke earlier. It's not what you think. Don't mind him."

QingZhu quickly handed over both of her Nanmu Eagle Staffs.

"QingZhu, we are happy to have met you, but we can only take one thing. We don't want someone to think we took advantage of him, and we don't want to owe anyone a favor."

HuoWu took one of the Nanmu Eagle Staffs from QingZhu's hand and continued.

"QingZhu, when you have time, come find us. We're going back to the city now. Thank you very much, goodbye."

After HuoWu finished speaking, she and BingYu left our party and then used the Return Scroll to go back.

I'm dizzy. I didn't realize that HuoWu, who always had a smiling face and was lively and cute, was so assertive. She was no worse than her cold sister BingYu.

Being so straightforward, not giving me any face, calling me "someone," only thanking QingZhu and only inviting QingZhu, ignoring me like I'm nothing. Do they really hate me that much?

You know, I was the one who exerted the most effort just now. I charged to the front and fought the monsters with all my might.

It's frustrating!

Why can't they see my strengths?

"Stone, look at you. You've made BingYu and HuoWu angry. You should quickly apologize to them by giving them this Nanmu Eagle Staff," QingZhu said while handing me the staff after BingYu and HuoWu had left.

"Next time you see them, just give it to them directly."

What a joke. I finally understand the impression I have left on BingYu and HuoWu. I bet the next time I see them, they won't even acknowledge me. I don't want to bring trouble upon myself.

"Take it. You have to go on your own, but I'll speak on your behalf," QingZhu continued.

"What if they don't accept it? Why don't you go instead?"

"As long as you sincerely apologize, they won't refuse. Trust me, I'm right."

QingZhu handed me the Nanmu Eagle Staff and then hit me on the head with a short weapon, speaking angrily.

"You! You never know when to stop joking around. The situation just now was so dangerous. What if you didn't act quickly and BingYu and HuoWu were killed by the boss?"

With me, a master, protecting them, how could the situation arise where the beautiful ladies were killed? They underestimate me. Of course, I couldn't argue with QingZhu and could only nod and learn humbly.

Of course, I don't want to apologize to the two rich and individualistic twin sorceresses. It would be too embarrassing. Nanmu Eagle Staff is a divine tool, and I don't want to just give it away. I could exchange it for money.

"Let's go and level up."

"Okay."

"Wait, I almost forgot. The boss's corpse has valuable materials that we can collect."

The corpses of ordinary monsters are protected by the system for one minute, while those of boss monsters are protected for three minutes. As for the divine beast-level monsters, they are protected for at least five minutes, giving players ample time to gather materials from their bodies.

Gathering materials from the corpse of the Nanmu Tree Demon King requires the use of a "Gathering Technique."

"Congratulations, Stone City, on obtaining the pet egg of the 'Dark Undying Golden Eagle King.' Your Gathering Technique proficiency has increased."

"Stone, what happened? Did you find something?"

QingZhu looked at me with a strange expression and asked curiously.

"I actually found a pet egg. It's strange because I've never heard of anyone being able to find one before."

I furrowed my brow, trying to understand what was going on.

"Really? Let's take a look."

Pet egg of the Dark Undying Golden Eagle King: Produced by the Dark Undying Golden Eagle King on the thousand-year-old Nanmu Tree, this pet egg can hatch a level-nine pet, the Dark Undying Golden Eagle King.

"Stone, it's a level-nine pet. Hatch it quickly."

"Ding dong, Stone City, would you like to hatch the pet egg?"

"Hatch it."

This was a level-nine pet, and I was filled with anticipation. It was amazing how easily I had obtained it.

In fact, I didn't know that this level-nine Dark Undying Golden Eagle King was a hidden pet egg that could only be obtained by killing the Nanmu Tree Demon King for the first time and using a high-level Gathering Technique.

If another player had killed the Nanmu Tree Demon King, the Gathering Technique used would not have been high level, and this pet egg would have disappeared forever.

"Ding dong, congratulations to Stone City for successfully hatching the pet and obtaining the level-nine pet, the Dark Undying Golden Eagle King."

"Ah, Stone, it's so beautiful."

A fully golden eagle suddenly appeared, with its shining golden feathers resembling the softness of golden sunlight, making me want to gently stroke them.

"Chirp!"

The Dark Undying Golden Eagle King let out a long cry, spreading its wings as if it was ready to take flight. Its indescribable majesty and imposing aura made me feel its strength.

Wow! It really was a level-nine pet. It was truly exceptional.
