Xia Chujian's eyes narrowed slightly.

Could this damn bird understand what they were saying?! And it obviously knew that the Blood Kirin feared contamination most.

If the Griffon Sea Eagle were killed from this close, blood would definitely splatter onto the Blood Kirin.

The Blood Kirin would immediately wither away.

A withered Blood Kirin was completely different from a mature Blood Kirin that had been picked and air-dried.

An air-dried Blood Kirin could be processed into a highly toxic substance.

A withered Blood Kirin, however, would decompose on its own and cease to exist.

That was all according to San Zong, the Pig-head Humanoid.

Xia Chujian was willing to believe it for the time being.

But she would not let such claims tie her hands and feet.

Otherwise, she would not have made the snap decision to use a grenade launcher to deal with that utterly terrifying Mental Strength Expert assassin.

Firing a grenade into the high altitude and blasting the other party into ashes carried a certain degree of risk.

If the wind was blowing the wrong way, those ashes could land on the Blood Kirin here within minutes.

Once the ashes landed on the Blood Kirin, it would certainly wither and decompose.

Fortunately, Xia Chujian had good luck. The wind was blowing in her favor, carrying the assassin's ashes farther away.

Right now, all she had to face was this enormous Griffon Sea Eagle.

Xia Chujian said no more, her finger resting on the trigger.

The Griffon Sea Eagle flapped its wings more frantically, clearly about to rise from the ground and fly up to attack her as it had a few days ago.

Just then, a tiny furry figure darted in from the edge of the woods and flopped onto the Blood Kirin plant, using its small furry body to shield it completely.

It was the golden-brown Small Dog that had been with San Zong, the Pig-head Humanoid.

The moment it pounced over the Blood Kirin, Xia Chujian pulled the trigger without another word, aiming at the Griffon Sea Eagle.

She did not shoot the Griffon Sea Eagle directly. Instead, she aimed at the ground an inch from its left foreleg.

Clang!

After the gunshot, a huge crater appeared in the woodland floor beside the Griffon Sea Eagle's left foreleg.

A cloud of dust rose from the crater and scattered over the Griffon Sea Eagle and the Small Dog.

"Coo..." The massive Griffon Sea Eagle was thrown off balance by the airflow from the bullet, and confusion flickered in its eyes for an instant.

Its rapidly beating wings instantly drooped, hanging limp.

It no longer held its head high. After giving a few more cooing cries, the entire Griffon Sea Eagle sank limply to the ground.

It tucked all four legs beneath its golden feathers, as if kneeling before Xia Chujian, letting out docile coos.

Only the Griffon Sea Eagle knew that it had launched an obvious Mental Attack against Xia Chujian! Yet this human had been completely unaffected! Of course, it could also launch a Physical Attack like that Mental Strength Expert had...

But it felt that no matter how fast it moved, it would never be faster than her gun.

So, in an instant, it chose submission.

Li Fu, Song Mingqian, and Ye Shijie, who had only just awakened, watched as the arrogantly untouchable Griffon Sea Eagle lowered its lion's head before Xia Chujian.

Xia Chujian stared at the Griffon Sea Eagle. Her finger slowly left the Sniper Rifle's trigger, but her other hand grabbed her Destroyer 800 Fully Automatic Submachine Gun.

Compared with a Sniper Rifle, she still felt a Submachine Gun was more effective against a large Fierce Beast with such speed.

Xia Chujian rose from the ground and cautiously took a few steps.

The Griffon Sea Eagle still had its head lowered, obediently "kneeling" before her.

Xia Chujian relaxed slightly, then hurried forward a few more steps. She reached the Griffon Sea Eagle, pressed the Submachine Gun against its head, and said coldly, "Starting today, you, Griffon Sea Eagle, have been requisitioned by Team 321 of Group 9, District 3, Guiyuan Branch of our Dark Night Hunter Association. Do you submit?"

The Griffon Sea Eagle kept its head lowered and nodded hard twice.

Damn it!

This stupid bird really could understand human speech!

Xia Chujian recalled how she had been so frightened by this giant bird when she first arrived that she had sharply pulled her Flying Vehicle upward, and anger rose in her heart.

If I don't make use of it, I won't be able to let this go! At least this bird knows when to yield.

Xia Chujian let out a light breath, waved behind her, and asked, "Number Two, Number Three, did you bring a chain?"

Li Fu and Song Mingqian shook their heads together. "No!"

Xia Chujian: "..."

"Number Three, please go back to Number Four and get a chain."

Song Mingqian agreed and immediately ran back through the wind and snow toward the Flying Vehicle.

Before long, he returned with a long chain forged from Special Metal.

One end of the chain had a lock containing an Electronic Device that could be managed remotely. It had originally been specifically designed to restrain Human Traffickers or Humanoids.

Some Humanoids, when they went Rampaging, were no different from actual Fierce Beasts.

Like the horse-bodied Humanoid and leopard-headed Humanoid from earlier.

Li Fu and Song Mingqian worked together to loop the chain around the Griffon Sea Eagle's neck layer by layer.

Xia Chujian stood beside them with the Submachine Gun in hand, watching.

At the slightest sign of impatience from the Griffon Sea Eagle, she would poke its head twice with her gun.

Under such a powerful threat, the Griffon Sea Eagle did not dare entertain any further thoughts.

It obediently allowed Li Fu and Song Mingqian to put the chain around it and lock it, with the other end held by Li Fu.

Only then did Xia Chujian say, "This thing is big enough and it can fly. Carry Captain Ye onto it. Captain Ye is seriously injured; we need to get him back for treatment as soon as possible."

Li Fu and Song Mingqian nodded repeatedly.

Together, they carried the immobile Ye Shijie onto the Griffon Sea Eagle's back.

Ye Shijie had already woken up, but his head was still muddled and he did not want to speak.

Both hands gripping the golden feathers along the Griffon Sea Eagle's spine, he sat with his eyes half-open and half-closed, all color gone from his face.

Li Fu and Song Mingqian climbed onto the Griffon Sea Eagle's back as well, protecting Ye Shijie between them.

With the three of them on it, the Griffon Sea Eagle looked even larger.

Xia Chujian slung her gun case over her back, stepped away, and said, "You go ahead. I'll be right behind you."

Li Fu and Song Mingqian exchanged a glance, then quickly looked at Ye Shijie lying on the Griffon Sea Eagle's back.

Ye Shijie did not open his eyes. He merely nodded expressionlessly.

Since he had agreed, Li Fu and Song Mingqian said nothing more.

But as they were leaving, the two still turned back and told Xia Chujian, "Chujian, come back quickly too. You took care of that assassin, but we still don't know whether he was alone. We need to go back and discuss this properly."

Xia Chujian was indeed worried about that.

But she had something even more important to do.

So she put on an unconcerned expression, patted the Destroyer 800 Fully Automatic Submachine Gun against her chest, and snorted. "I'm not helpless either! If there are more of them, I'll make sure none of them come back!"

Li Fu and Song Mingqian nearly laughed at her.

Ye Shijie, however, felt he could not stay silent any longer.

He coughed and said weakly, "Fine. I'll give you five minutes. If you're not back in five minutes, we'll come look for you."

"Ten minutes!" Xia Chujian instinctively bargained with Ye Shijie. "I'll definitely be back in ten minutes!"

A barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of Ye Shijie's lips, indicating his tacit approval.

The Griffon Sea Eagle suddenly stood up energetically and began beating its immense golden wings, looking ready to take off.

Watching it, Xia Chujian felt that it looked oddly familiar. She muttered to herself, "You look a lot like the divine eagle from the 'Three Golden Needles' story my Aunt told me. I'll call you A'Diao... A'Diao, work hard, and Captain Ye won't treat you poorly!"

Having suddenly gained a name, the Griffon Sea Eagle became even more spirited.

It shook its wings, gave a cry that pierced the clouds, and spread its wings to fly away.

The massive Griffon Sea Eagle soared through the air, its wings whipping up a fierce gust that nearly blew Xia Chujian over.

She took a few more steps back before steadying herself.

Only after the Griffon Sea Eagle had vanished from sight did Xia Chujian lower her head to look at the Small Dog, which was still dusted with dirt.

It remained in its original position, sheltering the Blood Kirin plant.

Xia Chujian slowly approached, crouched on one knee beside it, and reached out to gently brush the dust off its back.

At first, the Small Dog trembled all over the moment Xia Chujian touched it.

But after a while, Xia Chujian's touch seemed too comfortable, and little puppy noises came from its throat.

"Wurf... wurf..."

Its babyish little sounds were especially adorable.

After Xia Chujian had brushed all the loose dirt from its back, it did the splits, stretching out its four chubby little legs, before slowly standing and moving aside.

It turned out it had been standing there with its body arched, trying to protect the Blood Kirin plant.

Xia Chujian could not help looking at the fur on the Small Dog's belly.

It was so small, and it had run around in the snow for so long that the fur on its belly had long since become dirty.

Sure enough, the Blood Kirin plant was speckled with snow droplets from the Small Dog's fur, along with a little black dust. It did not look very clean.

Xia Chujian's heart sank.

Would the Blood Kirin wither away just from this little bit of dirt?!

She wanted to reach out and pick it, but feared that her own hands might also have Dirty Things on them and contaminate the Blood Kirin.

Just as she was caught in a dilemma, San Zong, the Pig-head Humanoid, finally crawled out from the woods and said cautiously, "Female Sire, San Zong can help Female Sire inspect this Blood Kirin..."

Xia Chujian: "..."

The words "Female Sire" sounded more awkward the more she heard them.

But she did not know how to correct this Pig-head Humanoid, so she simply stayed silent and stepped aside.

San Zong heaved a huge sigh of relief. Using both hands and feet, he crawled over, carefully examined the Blood Kirin plant, then wrinkled his pig nose, closed his eyes, and took several deep sniffs.

After a while, he opened his eyes and said delightedly to Xia Chujian, "Congratulations, Female Sire! This Blood Kirin has just matured and can be picked!"

"...It can? But... isn't it dirty? Won't it wither and decompose the next moment?" Xia Chujian asked uncertainly.

San Zong hurriedly shook his head. "No, no! This isn't dirt! This loose soil is humus the Blood Kirin grew in itself. To the Blood Kirin, it isn't a Dirty Thing."

I chose this genre myself, so no matter how hard it gets, I have to keep writing. Lights cigarette. JPG.
