Lin Xuan's eyes were red, his face filled with hatred.
Clutching a dagger, he charged straight at the Wolf King.
Today, he was determined to kill this wolf.
If the Wolf King had not appeared, Panda Mother would not have been put in danger, and the Saker Falcon would not have been forced off the cliff.
The Saker Falcon could not fly. With the cliff being so high, falling straight down clearly meant it could not survive.
As it continued to fall through the air, the Saker Falcon recalled how its mother had taught it to fly.
It closed its eyes and, following the methods its mother had taught it in its memories, flapped its wings properly.
At last, the Saker Falcon found its own rhythm.
It felt that it could finally fly and let out an excited gehe cry.
Then, its body soared upward from beneath the cliff!
"Gehe!!"
A sharp cry reached Lin Xuan's ears. He looked up and saw a Saker Falcon flying through the sky.
It was clearly the Saker Falcon he had saved. Seeing that the little fellow could fly and had not died made Lin Xuan extremely happy, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The Saker Falcon cried out at Lin Xuan, then tucked in its body and dove at the Wolf King.
Its sharp beak pecked directly into the Wolf King's body.
Caught off guard by the sudden attack, the Wolf King let out a howl.
One man, one bird, and one snake attacked the Wolf King together.
Xiao Qing sprayed venom while the Saker Falcon repeatedly harassed it from the air.
As Lin Xuan closed in with his dagger, he thrust it directly into the Wolf King's neck.
With a hard slash, he cut open the Wolf King's throat, blood pouring out.
It let out muffled howls.
The suffocating pain shot straight through the Wolf King's nerves.
Gradually, the light faded from the Wolf King's eyes. The next moment, its body collapsed to the ground with a thud.
Worried that the Wolf King was not dead, Lin Xuan struck it with a rock. Only after seeing no reaction did he step forward and drive his dagger into its head once more.
At last, the Wolf King was dealt with.
With the threat gone, Lin Xuan let out a breath. His body suddenly relaxed, exhaustion washed over him, and his legs gave out. He sat directly on the ground, gasping for air.
"Gehe~~"
The Saker Falcon, soaring in the sky, swooped down and flew straight into Lin Xuan's arms.
The little fellow rubbed its head against Lin Xuan's body, then looked at him worriedly.
Seeing the little fellow in his arms looking at him with concern, Lin Xuan raised a tired hand and stroked its head. Little fellow, I'm fine. Thank you for helping me.
"Hiss hiss~"
Beside him, Xiao Qing loosened herself from Lin Xuan's wrist and rubbed her head against it.
She raised her head and looked at Lin Xuan as if to say, What about me?
"Xiao Qing, thank you too. Without your help, I really couldn't have taken down the Wolf King."
It had to be said that this Wolf King was far stronger than the other four wolves.
Without the Saker Falcon and Xiao Qing's help, Lin Xuan could never have dealt with it alone.
(Finally dealt with it. That was truly heart-stopping!)
(Yeah. Like the streamer said, without the Saker Falcon and Xiao Qing's help, the Wolf King would have been really hard to deal with.)
(Fortunately, it's finally over now.)
(The Saker Falcon can fly now too. Maybe everything that happened today gave it a lucky opportunity.)
(Yeah. Yesterday, the little fellow still couldn't fly at home. Who would have thought that after what happened today, it would learn to fly? Not bad, little fellow.)
Lin Xuan looked at the Saker Falcon in his arms. Now that it could fly, perhaps he should let it leave.
After all, since it could fly, it meant it could find food for itself. He believed the Saker Falcon would not starve to death in the wild.
"Saker Falcon, you can fly now. That means it's time for us to part."
(Don't do that, streamer! The Saker Falcon just helped you. Why are you making it leave now?)
(Yeah, it only just learned how to fly. Why are you chasing it away?)
(I haven't seen enough of this Saker Falcon yet.)
(The streamer saved the Saker Falcon's life, and the Saker Falcon helped the streamer. They've repaid each other, so neither owes the other anything.)
(Now that the Saker Falcon has learned to fly, even if it leaves the streamer, it surely won't starve to death in the wild.)
(So letting the Saker Falcon leave at this time is also a very good outcome.)
(But...)
(Although the Saker Falcon has only been here for a few days, we can't bear to part with such a cute little fellow.)
Hearing Lin Xuan's words, the Saker Falcon blinked. It rubbed its head against Lin Xuan again, then flew out of his arms and into the sky.
Watching the little fellow fly into the air and farther and farther away, Lin Xuan felt reluctant to let it go, but he also understood that nature was where it belonged.
Xiao Qing raised her head and watched the Saker Falcon's figure in the sky, hissing softly.
After all, she had also cared for the Saker Falcon, so she naturally felt reluctant to see the little fellow leave.
"Alright, Xiao Qing, don't be sad. Nature is where the Saker Falcon belongs. If you want to leave, you can go anytime."
Xiao Qing tilted her head and rubbed against Lin Xuan's arm. She did not want to leave at all.
Staying by Lin Xuan's side meant there was delicious food to eat, and she did not even need to hunt for herself. Wasn't that great?
So Xiao Qing had no desire to leave.
"Alright, let's pack up and take this wolf's body back. Tonight, I'll make you something tasty as a reward."
"Hiss hiss!"
Xiao Qing was naturally excited at the mention of food.
Just as Lin Xuan was gathering up the Wolf King's body, the Saker Falcon that had left suddenly flew back. It even had a dead bird clamped in its beak.
It landed before Lin Xuan and placed the bird's body on the ground. "Gehe, gehe~~"
It cried out at Lin Xuan as though inviting him to eat the bird.
"Saker Falcon, didn't you already leave? Why did you come back?"
Seeing the Saker Falcon that had seemingly left return again greatly surprised Lin Xuan.
The Saker Falcon hopped in front of Lin Xuan and clamped its beak around his pant leg.
Then, it shook its head.
"You mean you didn't leave? You went to find food?"
"Gehe~"
"So you've decided not to leave?"
"Gehe."
(The Saker Falcon came back after leaving. So it hadn't gone away after all—it had gone looking for food.)
(From the looks of it, is it inviting the streamer to eat with it?)
