"This is?"
Jiang Nian'an's attention had been drawn to the mutated rat struggling on the ground.
"Li li li!"
Like the birds you targeted, it ate the insect's flesh.
This rat was notoriously timid, always backing down even against creatures weaker than itself. However, after eating the insect's flesh, its personality changed drastically, and it dared to confront Xiao Yi head-on, which caught Xiao Yi's attention, so he brought it back.
Oh, Xiao Yi is that eagle from earlier.
The giant eagle added one more explanation.
"The birds were unharmed after eating the monster's flesh, but this rat instantly lost its mind..."
A wooden stick appeared in Jiang Nian'an's hand, and she gently poked the mutated rat.
'Click-click—'
The mutated rat, which had been on the verge of death, suddenly shuddered violently as if a switch had been flipped.
Immediately afterwards, its life force rose steadily and grew stronger.
'brush! '
The mutated rat quickly got up, pushed off the ground with its hind legs, and attacked Jiang Nian'an with its sharp claws.
"Get out of my way!"
Jiang Nian'an twisted her wrist and swung the stick outwards, hitting the mutated rat squarely.
The mutated rat flew out like a hit golf ball, only to be caught and tied up in mid-air by a slender vine, and pulled back again.
At this moment, the mutated rat had completely stopped breathing.
Jiang Nian'an put it directly into her spatial storage, intending to send it back to the Beijing base for composition analysis.
'Chirp chirp~'
Suddenly a flock of gray pigeons flew up from below and chattered around the giant eagle for a while.
Their strength and talent were average, and Jiang Nian'an couldn't understand their language, so she could only stand aside and wait for the giant eagle to translate for her.
When the gray pigeons began to speak, the giant eagle's eyes remained indifferent.
But before long, its eyes sharpened, and it would occasionally look down at Jiang Nian'an.
Jiang Nian'an was puzzled, but the giant eagle's gaze made her uneasy, and she became secretly on guard.
At the same time, he quietly woke up Xiaolongzhan through telepathy, and instructed him to continue pretending to be asleep so that the giant eagle would not notice that he was awake.
[Okay, sister.]
Xiao Longzhan closed his eyes, but his hand, hidden under his robe, quietly touched the little eagle's neck.
It took a full ten minutes for the gray pigeons to finish their chattering and chattering.
The giant eagle flapped its wings, and the gray pigeons flew away.
"What...did they say?"
Jiang Nian'an took two steps back and looked up at the giant eagle.
"Don't you understand our language?" The giant eagle tilted its head, its eyes filled with doubt.
Jiang Nian'an smiled, "Oh, I can only understand what the strong say."
The word "strong" clearly pleased the giant eagle, which unconsciously raised its head and spoke in a much gentler tone.
They say that many ill-intentioned humans have come to this city, and they all harbor ill will towards you.
"To me..." Jiang Nian'an was taken aback, "Am I hostile? Could it be someone from the Bi family?"
"They say those humans aren't part of the group," the giant eagle added.
"They're not in cahoots..."
Jiang Nian'an muttered to herself, then her eyes widened slightly as she thought of Shen Nanxing, who hadn't returned yet. "So, the Lin family is also after me?"
"Turns out I'm still a hot commodity~"
She stroked her chin, her eyes darting around, and suddenly stepped forward to pat the giant eagle's wing. "Brother Eagle, I still have quite a few spirit-type crystal cores here. How about we do some business?"
"A deal?" The giant eagle blinked, a clear interest flashing in its eyes. "What kind of deal?"
"If you help me find all those guys who are hostile towards me, I'll help Little Eagle level up, how about it?"
Giant flowers sprouted from beneath Jiang Nian'an's feet, lifting her up to be at eye level with the giant eagle.
“These two groups aren’t the only ones who are hostile to me. More people like them will come into this city. If you’re willing to help me deal with them, I can provide Little Eagle with mental crystal cores for a long time.”
At this point, Jiang Nian'an's lips curled up slightly, and two crystal-clear mental cores appeared in her palm.
One is level four, and the other is level five, both emitting a faint glow.
"I doubt even you could hunt down a mental crystal core to enhance the little eagle's innate abilities right now, could you?"
She deliberately stretched her hand forward so that the giant eagle could see the mental crystal core in her hand more clearly.
She and Brother Shen were able to advance to level six at a speed far exceeding that of 99% of other ability users because of the support of the Shen family.
The giant eagle must have reached this level in such a short time by frantically hunting down psychic mutants or superhumans that appeared in and around the city.
This also means that unless it takes the eaglet away from Gilen City and goes to another place to reclaim a territory, it will be unable to obtain the resources to improve the eaglet's talent.
After all, the giant eagles have absorbed all the resources available to them in this area.
But are other territories so easy to occupy?
The giant eagle didn't speak, but its gaze, which never left the crystal core, betrayed its thoughts.
Who are those people? Why are they hostile towards you, and what is their strength?
After a long silence, the giant eagle finally spoke.
Its gaze shifted from the crystal core to Jiang Nian'an's face, sharp and penetrating.
Your terms are indeed very tempting, but I don't want to get myself into fatal trouble because of them.
"Have you gotten yourself into deadly trouble?"
Jiang Nian'an chuckled and met the giant eagle's gaze directly. "Actually, the choice was no longer in your hands when they entered this city."
