#264 - Lord of the Sky
Liang Jin knew that whether this divine eagle was a mule or a horse, it could only be known by taking it out for a spin.
However, Liang Jin didn't want others to see him suddenly pull out a large eagle.
Immediately, Liang Jin said:
"I'm going to relieve myself, you guys wait for me here."
This place was in the middle of a wilderness.
After Liang Jin and his group arrived here, they were tired and their horses were exhausted, so they had to stop to rest, drink water, and eat some dry food.
Lei Zhen and Xiao Liu sat down to rest.
But Xiao Yu followed him.
During this period, under Liang Jin's long-term training and correction, she had begun to develop a dependence on Liang Jin, and she would follow him wherever he went.
Even if Liang Jin was going to relieve himself, she would still go.
It was as if she was afraid that Liang Jin would leave and abandon her.
Liang Jin also couldn't figure out whether this was the side of a puppy relying on its owner in its animal nature, or the side of a child relying on an adult in human nature.
But seeing that Xiao Yu was just a child and didn't understand anything, Liang Jin let her follow him.
These days, the effect of Liang Jin's continuous training and correction of Xiao Yu in the [Nine Empty Unbounded Realm] was very obvious.
At least, Xiao Yu could understand human speech!
This was a very big breakthrough.
Although she couldn't speak yet, she could understand most of what Liang Jin said.
It's just that sometimes, her understanding didn't mean she was willing to obey.
Just like now, Liang Jin sat on the horse and shouted at her:
"Wait for me here, don't follow me."
But Xiao Yu completely ignored him, and suddenly jumped onto the horse's back, hugging the horse's neck tightly, as if she was unwilling to get off.
Xiao Yu's animal nature was still very strong, which made her very stubborn.
But since she could understand human speech and her human nature was beginning to recover, it was impossible for Liang Jin to beat her up every day, so he could only teach her slowly.
Liang Jin shook his head and could only ride his horse away with Xiao Yu, going around behind a small earthen slope.
He jumped off the horse and tied the horse's reins, fearing that the horse would be frightened and run away.
Following that, Liang Jin looked at the rewards on the system panel.
"This war pet divine eagle, once received, cannot be placed in the item bar?"
"That's right, living things really can't be placed in the item bar."
After Liang Jin's [Item Bar] was opened, he had also conducted many tests.
As long as it was alive, whether it was an animal or a plant, it could not be placed in the item bar.
"In this case, this war pet is not as powerful as a war puppet."
"If I receive the war pet here, then it will most likely only be able to accompany this clone of mine."
"After all, whether it is the Western Desert or the Eastern Sea, they are thousands of miles apart, it is impossible for the war pet to fly over."
"And the war puppet can be put into the item bar, and each clone can be called at any time."
Liang Jin was slightly disappointed by this.
The shortcomings of war pets are probably not just as simple as not being able to be placed in the [Item Bar].
Especially the remarks of the war pet also stated that the war pet is a living thing and needs to be well fed.
This also means that war pets need to eat, drink, and excrete.
They will also get sick, feel pain, have their own desires, and may even have their own personality and temper.
Compared to the absolutely loyal war puppets who only obey their master's orders, they are indeed far inferior.
But Liang Jin could also understand this.
After all, this was just a reward for summoning ten martial artists, so it was naturally impossible to be too heaven-defying and exaggerated.
But all in all, it's still pretty good.
Liang Jin's main body was in the capital, so naturally he would not raise a war pet.
And the Western Desert had the Green Clothes Tower, Qingzhou had the Taiping Dao, and the Eastern Sea had the Dragon Transformation Island, and the other clones all had their own forces, so they had little need for war pets.
Now Liang Jin's clone also needed some trustworthy helpers, and war pets were undoubtedly a good choice.
"Come out, big eagle!"
Liang Jin immediately chose to receive the reward.
The next moment.
A divine eagle appeared in front of Liang Jin.
The sudden appearance of the big eagle scared Xiao Yu, who was staring at the horse drooling, and she fell to the ground.
Even the horse screamed in fright, constantly struggling and retreating. If Liang Jin hadn't tied the reins in advance, the horse would have probably run away.
Liang Jin then fixed his eyes on the divine eagle in front of him.
He saw that the divine eagle was huge in shape, with a curved hooked beak, a bright red fleshy瘤 on its head, and dark brown, oily and smooth feathers all over its body.
It was very big, even taller than an adult, looking like it was about 1.9 meters tall.
And when its wings were spread out, the wingspan could reach a surprising seven meters!
Such a huge eagle was indeed unheard of and could be called a divine eagle.
Liang Jin also marveled:
"Such a large bird, even in my previous life, probably only existed in ancient times."
"I don't know if this divine eagle in front of me can fly?"
Just looking at the weight of this divine eagle, it probably weighed nearly eighty kilograms.
In Liang Jin's previous life in ancient times, there were also birds as big as the divine eagle in front of him.
For example, the Argentavis magnificens, known as one of the largest birds in the world, was about the size of a divine eagle.
But the larger the bird, the more difficult it becomes to take off.
The wings of those ancient giant birds were too long, and it was impossible to obtain the energy to take off by continuously flapping their wings when taking off.
It was difficult for them to take off directly from the flat ground by flapping their wings.
They often needed to run from a slope or jump from a high place, at which time they could fly upwind without flapping their wings at all.
In addition to running and using the height difference, some giant birds would also use the special rising airflow of the environment in which they live to take off.
The current Changzhou naturally does not have this kind of environment and conditions.
But, this is a transcendent world, and it cannot be completely measured by common sense.
Immediately, Liang Jin ordered the divine eagle:
"Fly and let me see!"
The divine eagle twisted its head, glanced at Liang Jin, and then twisted its head again to observe the surrounding situation.
"Huh?"
Liang Jin frowned slightly.
Could it be that this war pet can't understand human speech?
Does he still have to spend time taming the eagle, training it, and finally be able to cooperate with him in battle?
If this is the case, then the drawbacks are too great.
Liang Jin also doesn't know how to tame eagles.
What if this divine eagle flies away by itself?
If it flies too high, Liang Jin's light skills may be difficult to catch up.
"Woof woof woof!"
A burst of dog barking suddenly sounded.
It was Xiao Yu jumping up and down on the ground, approaching the divine eagle.
The divine eagle tilted its head, looking at Xiao Yu.
Liang Jin explained:
"This child is one of us, not your prey."
The divine eagle turned its neck to look at Liang Jin, and then continued to look at Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu slowly approached the divine eagle, her eyes shining, as if she was very interested in the divine eagle.
And the divine eagle also seemed to be interested in Xiao Yu, it raised its sharp claws and gently poked Xiao Yu.
But the divine eagle was too strong, and it knocked Xiao Yu to the ground with one blow.
This made Xiao Yu jump up and grin, barking non-stop.
The divine eagle curiously wanted to poke Xiao Yu with its claws again, but Xiao Yu jumped away nimbly.
Liang Jin was about to continue communicating with Xiao Yu.
Suddenly!
Xiao Yu suddenly jumped and actually jumped onto the back of the divine eagle.
Liang Jin was shocked:
"Xiao Yu, this big bird can't be eaten!"
The next second.
The divine eagle was startled and suddenly flapped its wings.
Its wings were long and large, and when it flapped wildly, it could actually set off a gust of wind, and even stones the size of fists could be blown away.
For a time, there was a storm of sand and rocks on the scene.
In the sky full of smoke and dust, only the frightened neighing of horses could be heard.
Liang Jin waved his hand suddenly, and his powerful inner strength blew away the surrounding dust.
But only a clear cry was heard from the sky.
Liang Jin looked up.
He saw that the divine eagle had already flown into the sky.
And Xiao Yu was still on the back of the divine eagle, constantly waving and shouting at Liang Jin on the ground.
Looking at her appearance, she seemed... quite excited!
"Not good!"
Seeing this, Liang Jin hurriedly shouted to order the divine eagle to come down.
But the divine eagle still ignored Liang Jin's order and was still soaring high.
Liang Jin was about to use "Stride the Wind, Shadow the Foot" to chase after him.
But he immediately gave up.
This divine eagle flew too fast and too high, as if it was the master of this sky.
Liang Jin's "Stride the Wind, Shadow the Foot" allows him to fly at a height of four or five zhang for a long time without any problem.
If he doesn't pursue long-term flight, and gathers strength to suddenly jump up, he can also jump to a height of more than ten zhang.
But such a height is still far from the height at which this divine eagle flies.
"Damn it!"
Liang Jin could only hurriedly lead the horse, jumped on the horse, and chased in the direction of the divine eagle.
As soon as he rode the horse out of the small earthen slope, he saw Lei Zhen and Xiao Liu with surprised faces.
Obviously, the great movement of the divine eagle just now also attracted their attention.
They just suddenly heard a gust of wind, and then saw a huge black shadow rising from behind the earthen slope, vaguely accompanied by Xiao Yu's cry.
"Brother, what happened?"
Lei Zhen asked in surprise.
Liang Jin pointed to the sky:
"Xiao Yu was taken away by the big eagle."
He didn't have time to say more, and hurriedly chased after the horse.
Seeing this, Lei Zhen and Xiao Liu also hurriedly followed.
The three of them galloped all the way, constantly paying attention to the situation in the sky.
If Xiao Yu accidentally fell down.
Then Liang Jin would have to use his light skills to catch her.
Otherwise, at this height, Xiao Yu would inevitably be crushed to pieces if she fell down.
Fortunately, the divine eagle did not fly far, otherwise the few people would not be able to catch up with just their horses.
The divine eagle kept circling in this area.
It's just because it's too high, it can only be seen as a black dot.
Liang Jin and his party kept going, always following the divine eagle closely.
Time passed slowly.
In the blink of an eye, an hour had passed.
At this moment, the black dot in the sky was getting bigger, and the divine eagle began to lower its flight altitude.
Once the divine eagle descended, its ferocious aura swept from the sky.
Especially its huge figure cast a huge shadow on the ground, passing over the ground from time to time.
When the shadow passed over the horses, it would often cause the horses to panic, as if they had encountered a natural enemy.
At this time.
Liang Jin, who had keen hearing, began to hear a strange cry from the sky.
That was not the cry of the divine eagle, but the cry of Xiao Yu.
Liang Jin looked up.
He saw Xiao Yu riding on the back of the divine eagle, constantly waving and shouting at Liang Jin on the ground.
Looking at her appearance, she seemed... quite excited!
