Chapter 318: Gather Five Platinum Mid-Grade Pet Beasts! Restore My Strength!

Black Tiger Eagle!

Just seeing it once, Liu Mengyun's breathing quickened.

A Black Tiger Eagle with King-Rank Top-Grade potential is extremely rare even in Mount Yandang.

But thinking of the fate awaiting this Black Tiger Eagle, she felt an inexplicable pang of sorrow.

She knew why Su Yang didn't rest until nightfall—he was surely planning to hunt this Black Tiger Eagle.

Liu Mengyun didn't believe this Black Tiger Eagle could escape the Stormhawk's pursuit.

Su Yang's Stormhawk was too powerful; once this immature Black Tiger Eagle was targeted, it had no chance.

Su Yang's killing intent was truly too heavy!

This was Liu Mengyun's Qieshenti Society experience!

Since arriving at Mount Yandang, Su Yang had been killing nonstop from dawn till dusk!

He hadn't done anything else!

When Liu Mengyun spotted the Black Tiger Eagle, Su Yang was already studying it.

This Black Tiger Eagle's growth potential: King-Rank Top-Grade.

It possessed two talents: Rare-Level speed and Common-Level robust physique.

Its talents were even better than Zhu Zhu Xiaoshuang's Black Tiger Eagle.

Among the Black Tiger Eagle clan, it should be one of the elite individuals capable of securing a mate.

Most importantly, its current strength was exactly Platinum Mid-Grade.

Su Yang could only say: Liu Mengyun was lucky!

"Liu Mengyun!"

"Liu Mengyun!"

He called out three times, but Liu Mengyun didn't respond.

Su Yang shouted loudly: "Are you asleep?"

"Major, what is it?"

"Did you see that Black Tiger Eagle?"

"I saw it."

"Take care of it!"

"Huh?"

Liu Mengyun thought she'd hallucinated.

"I've had the Stormhawk follow it—quickly finish it off. I haven't eaten dinner yet!"

"Oh! Okay!"

The Black Tiger Eagle also spotted the Stormhawk and charged at it—but the Stormhawk had no intention of attacking, instead sidestepping the Black Tiger Eagle.

At that moment, Liu Mengyun, standing atop the Stormhawk, acted.

She pressed her palms toward the Black Tiger Eagle.

"Explosion: Ice Storm!"

Terrifying winds, snow, and frost gushed from her palms.

Wherever the Bai Qi touched the Black Tiger Eagle, ice crystals formed instantly.

The Black Tiger Eagle's body sank; one wing coated in frost slowed its flapping, and its massive frame tumbled toward the ground.

The Stormhawk chased again, gathering blades of wind around the Black Tiger Eagle, striking toward it.

But the Stormhawk, carrying Liu Mengyun, deflected every wind blade.

"Explosion: Ice Storm!"

The already sluggish Black Tiger Eagle was drenched in the Ice Storm's chill.

Frost crept up both wings and its neck, freezing over half its body completely.

The Black Tiger Eagle let out a furious roar and plummeted straight from the sky, crashing heavily onto the ground.

Liu Mengyun held back—she didn't want to injure the Black Tiger Eagle.

The Stormhawk landed slowly; Liu Mengyun rushed toward the Black Tiger Eagle.

Though it had fallen from midair, the Black Tiger Eagle wasn't hurt.

Its body was frozen in ice crystals, nearly immobile.

As Liu Mengyun approached, over a dozen sharp, unfrozen feathers on the Black Tiger Eagle shot toward her—but she was prepared, blocking them all with an ice shield.

"Ice Storm!"

The Black Tiger Eagle's entire body was encased in ice.

Having finally defeated the Black Tiger Eagle, Liu Mengyun exhaled deeply.

She glanced back; Su Yang impatiently urged: "Hurry up, I'm hungry!"

"Yes, Major!"

She quickly forged a contract with the Black Tiger Eagle and freed it from the ice.

She had no time to admire her new pet beast—she immediately ran to gather dry firewood, lit a bonfire, and prepared dinner.

Su Yang felt tonight's dinner tasted even better.

By the roaring bonfire, he sat in a wicker chair, sipping a small mouthful of Red Cherry Blood Juice, his mood light.

Across from him lay a massive Black Tiger Eagle.

Liu Mengyun squatted by the fire, mixing herbs into a glossy green paste and smearing it over the Black Tiger Eagle's body.

As the herbs touched the Black Tiger Eagle, it lay on the ground, slowly closing its eyes.

Su Yang noticed that the Black Tiger Hawk's loyalty to Liu Mengyun had increased by several points.

This is how an ordinary Beast Tamer bonds with their companion beast.

Su Yang ran his hand over the wicker chair and felt the texture was poor.

He summoned the Seven-Colored Illusory Butterfly, had it close its wings, and placed his hand on its downy fur—this texture was incredibly smooth.

"What's that herb of yours?"

Seeing Liu Mengyun finish her work, Su Yang asked curiously.

"Flamefire Herb, Cheyun Vine, and the roots of the Demon Apple Tree Spirit… mixed in a certain ratio, they work wonders for treating frostbite!"

This is a medicinal formula!

"Mm!"

Su Yang nodded.

He admitted that in wilderness knowledge, he was inferior to Liu Mengyun.

He idly stirred the bonfire and said, "Liu Mengyun, for the time being, I'll do my best to equip you with a full set of companion beasts. I need you to go to Seven Stars City on an errand for me."

"Yes!"

Liu Mengyun had no objections.

Having acquired a Black Tiger Hawk, she was already very pleased.

"Ding~ Quest released: Assist your deputy officer Liu Mengyun in assembling a satisfactory companion beast roster: 2/5!"

"Quest completed: Randomly upgrade the talent rank of any one companion beast by one level!"

Upon receiving this quest prompt, Su Yang instinctively felt something was off.

Why hadn't this quest triggered before he helped Liu Mengyun reclaim the Black Tiger Hawk?

Had some decisive change occurred in Liu Mengyun after he helped her reclaim the Black Tiger Hawk, triggering this quest?
