Chapter 89: Chapter 89: Script of Qian 7 and the Fire Qilin Mother Eagle
Relying on the threat of the two remaining bird eggs, Qian Qi successfully managed to "enforce love" and keep the Fire Qilin Mother Eagle by her side.
She found some sturdy magic plant vines, twisted them into a thick rope, looped one end around the Fire Qilin Mother Eagle’s neck, and tied the other end to her waist.
With her small backpack on her front, she patted the top of the Fire Qilin Mother Eagle’s head, indicating it should take flight.
The Fire Qilin Mother Eagle was quite unaccustomed to the reins’ presence, fluttering on the ground for a while until Qian Qi raised her hand and demonstratively patted the bird egg, at which point it reluctantly flew up into the sky with Qian Qi.
"Fly left." Qian Qi patted the left side of the Fire Qilin Mother Eagle’s head, attempting to train it to follow her command and change direction during flight.
But how could a magical beast living in the instance understand her words?
The Fire Qilin Mother Eagle flew straight, like a headless chicken, heading eastward — the direction where its two hidden eggs were.
[Oh my dear Qian Qi~] The system began to sing silently again, [Do you want...]
Qian Qi waved off the system, "You shut up!"
Qian Qi had some knack for beast taming, considering in her past life, those two "ferocious beasts" guarding the orphanage were trained by her alone. Back in the day, when she patrolled the orphanage riding those ferocious dogs, if she pointed east, they would never run west.
As for how she trained them...
Qian Qi opened her backpack and pulled out a large slab of meat wrapped in a plastic bag.
The meat was cut from the Demon Electric Lion boss, had a long shelf life, and smelled really good when roasted, so she had kept a piece in her backpack.
Now it was just the right time to use it to train the Fire Qilin Mother Eagle.
She smeared some magic honey on the meat, then moved a few steps in front of the Fire Qilin Mother Eagle’s neck. After stabilizing her body by holding onto the eagle feathers, Qian Qi extended the meat to the eagle’s left side.
The sweet scent of magic honey combined with the bloody scent of the meat instantly attracted the Fire Qilin Mother Eagle.
Having just finished laying eggs and being in a state of prolonged hunger, its body was very weak and needed nutritional replenishment.
Logically, it would have had to painfully consume two of its own eggs to barely cope with the hidden enemies coveting it.
But surely the enemies would not give it the chance to recuperate. If not for Qian Qi’s appearance, it and its five eggs might have all become food for the Black Wind Leopard.
However, now it had only drunk the egg liquid of one egg and was still in a hungry, weakened state, so the Demon Electric Lion’s meat was like a source to replenish its lost energy.
Thus, the Fire Qilin Mother Eagle immediately turned its head and flew to the left.
Seeing the Fire Qilin Mother Eagle change direction, Qian Qi nodded in satisfaction. She then patted the right side of the eagle’s head, placing the meat on its right side.
The Fire Qilin Mother Eagle promptly flew to the right.
Qian Qi crawled forward and lay on its head, then tapped its forehead and placed the meat directly in front of it.
Instantly, the Fire Qilin Mother Eagle flew in the direction of the meat; its reaction speed was even more agile than that of a dog.
"Haha—" Qian Qi pinched her nose in triumph, "As expected of me!"
The system that initially wanted Qian Qi to spend two million buying the "Dove Breeding Manual": [...]
Conceded!
Who would have thought to use such a method for beast taming!
This just makes the "Dove Breeding Manual" seem so naive!
Qian Qi rode atop the Fire Qilin Mother Eagle, patrolling above the Black Forest until after half a day she finally found the hidden Demon Electric Lion.
She couldn’t help but excitedly whistle a rogue whistle, "Eagle sauce! Charge! Beat it and we’ll feast!"
The resting Demon Electric Lion on the ground was incredibly keen, recognizing the danger in the sky; it raised its head and immediately ran upon seeing Qian Qi.
However, this time with the help of the Fire Qilin Mother Eagle, Qian Qi directly chased down the escaping Demon Electric Lion.
"Down!" Qian Qi threw the meat in the direction the Demon Electric Lion was running.
Seeing this, the Fire Qilin Mother Eagle dived straight down, aiming for the piece of meat!
As the Fire Qilin Mother Eagle dove to a certain height, Qian Qi jumped off, landing precisely on the Demon Electric Lion’s back. Her apple-sized fist rose and fell, smashing the middle head of the Demon Electric Lion, causing its brains to spill out!
"Roar—" The other two Demon Electric Lions roared in unison, twisting their bodies trying to throw Qian Qi off.
But with 4 layers of strength buff stacked, it wasn’t so easy to throw Qian Qi off!
Her left hand firmly gripped the skin of the Demon Electric Lion, as she continued to deliver powerful punches, bursting the remaining two heads into pulp!
"Satisfying!"
Now, Qian Qi no longer needed the flashy assistance from magic plants; she swiftly took down the Demon Electric Lion with raw strength!
[Congratulations on clearing this instance, you have received a strength attribute bonus, your current power level is: D-level!]
[You need to clear this instance 32 more times to achieve D-level Peak Power!]
Qian Qi picked up the horn on the Demon Electric Lion’s head and tossed it into her backpack. Upon noticing the words on the system interface, she bowed her head and fell silent.
A moment later, her shoulders began to tremble slightly, her lips parted slightly, and a sinister laugh emerged from her throat, "Kekekeke."
"Indeed..." Qian Qi suddenly raised her head, lifting her hands high toward the sky, her bright eyes full of arrogant hubris befitting a villain, "Soloing an instance is simply amazing—"
The next second, Qian Qi got hit on the head by the system.
"Ouch, why did you hit me?" Qian Qi held her sore back of the head, looking extremely aggrieved.
System: [Nothing, I just suddenly remembered the little stone you used to offer up.]
Qian Qi’s little face fell, "Don’t mention it. I have no idea which bastard turned my little stone to powder. If I find out who it was, I’ll definitely put leopard print briefs on them!"
System: ...
The system gradually vanished.
Qian Qi snorted lightly in her heart as she tore open the Demon Electric Lion’s belly, turning to wave at the stunned Fire Qilin Mother Eagle, "Aren’t you still hungry? Come and eat!"
The Fire Qilin Mother Eagle stared blankly at Qian Qi, unable to believe that this creature before it could instantly kill the strongest magical beast around. In retrospect, maybe she was holding back when she hit it earlier?
After cautiously glancing at Qian Qi and confirming she bore no malice, the Fire Qilin Mother Eagle slowly edged toward the Demon Electric Lion and began to feast from the opening she tore open in its belly.
"See how nice I am to you..." Qian Qi gently caressed the Fire Qilin Mother Eagle’s neck, coaxing, "I just happen to be short one flying pet beast, how about you willingly contract with me?"
"All the magical beasts here are bad, they only bully you, but I’m different. I’m the only one who truly cares for you~" Qian Qi spoke softly, "As long as you contract with me, I will keep killing Demon Electric Lions for you to eat~"
The Fire Qilin Mother Eagle continued to bow its head and eat meat, ignoring Qian Qi’s words.
Qian Qi: ...
"Never mind if you don’t want to." Qian Qi, boasting a strong sense of self-respect, began to grumble, "After all, I only want talking magical beasts capable of math as my contracted beast!"
[That can even speak... ] the system interface popped up, reminding her, [Only A-level magical beasts can speak human language, can your broken D-level spiritual power even contract an A-level magical beast?]
Qian Qi’s ears perked up, "Contracting magical beasts depends on spiritual power?"
The system choked, decisively going invisible and logging off.
"Wuhu, a piece of free knowledge~" Qian Qi excitedly rubbed her small hands. She climbed up onto the back of the Fire Qilin Mother Eagle, commanding, "Let’s go, other magical beasts will catch the scent soon, and I don’t want to waste the Defense Fruit."
Seeming to sense the nearby magical beasts’ approach, the Fire Qilin Mother Eagle flapped its wings, tearing off a piece of meat as it carried Qian Qi into the sky.
"Since the boss is defeated, let’s leave the instance and resupply for now!"
Qian Qi patted the right side of the Fire Qilin Mother Eagle’s head.
This time the Fire Qilin Mother Eagle understood, turning around and heading right.
