No matter how much the giant eagle struggled to get the person off its back, it couldn't do anything. In the end, it was controlled by the boy and became his mount, obediently sending the person to the cliff.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The fight between the boy and the giant eagle was truly thrilling. Several times they thought the boy was going to be thrown off a cliff by the giant eagle, but the boy managed to subdue the giant eagle.
As the boy calmly jumped off the eagle's back, the giant eagle stood docile yet proud to one side, its docility directed at the boy, while its head was held high, looking down arrogantly at the others.
Xingxing stared in astonishment at the tall and mighty eagle with her mouth slightly agape, exclaiming in unprecedented admiration, "What a majestic eagle! How can it grow so big?"
"This is the first time I've ever seen such a big eagle. Is this eagle some kind of spirit?" Zhu Qiuyu and Xingxing huddled together, the two of them watching the giant eagle fly away.
I really want to touch it, I really want to sit on its back and let it carry me around in the air.
“Junior Brother, you have tamed this eagle. You can ride it from now on,” Zhu Qiuyu said.
Zhu Lin shook his head slightly, "How can such a large eagle king be used as a mount? It is used to living on the top of this cliff. If we forcibly tame it and make it lose its nature, it would be a pity. It is fate that I was able to fly up the cliff with its help today. Let's just consider it as making friends."
Seeing the boy's serious expression, everyone was dumbfounded. Could an eagle really be friends with a human?
Does the eagle know?
"Caw." The giant eagle raised its head and cried out as if displeased. Its cry echoed throughout the valley, indicating that it truly understood.
"We've gathered the silver-tipped grass. Let's hurry back. It's already getting dark, and it'll probably be past midnight by the time we get back." Zhu Qiuyu brushed the water droplets from her hair. A light drizzle was still falling, making it damp and cold, which was quite uncomfortable.
"Thank you for your hard work, senior brothers. Xingxing and I will go back first and develop the medicine powder to counteract the Silver-tipped Snake as soon as possible." After saying that, Zhu Lin picked up Xingxing and jumped onto the eagle's back, indicating that he was going to fly back first on the eagle.
What happened to the promise not to use a giant eagle as a mount?
"Shouldn't Junior Brother bring Fourth Senior Brother along when he's developing the medicinal powder?" Zhu Chumo stared intently at the young man.
"Don't worry, senior brother. Lin also has some experience in drug development, so this Silver Tip Grass will definitely not be wasted." After saying that, Zhu Lin signaled the giant eagle to set off.
Zhu Chumo: "?"
"Junior Brother is truly a prodigy; even alchemy is no challenge for him." Zhu Chumo snorted coldly, clearly bothered that Zhu Lin refused to take him along.
Zhu Qiuyu patted the other person on the shoulder to comfort him, "Alright, Junior Brother is always right-minded, how can you hold a grudge against him?"
"It's all because he's been spoiled." Zhu Chumo muttered to himself, but aside from complaining, there was nothing he could do about the boy. After all, he was the young master.
This young master is young but very capable, so it's only natural that he has big ideas.
High in the sky, Xingxing shrank her head and hid in Zhu Lin's arms. She was so naive just now, thinking that flying in the air must be very powerful and enjoyable. However, the truth was that the raindrops in the air were denser and the wind was colder, making her little face tremble and her whole body shiver.
"Ugh, so annoying," Xingxing muttered, but even her voice was scattered into the air by the wind. Oh well, she decided to stay silent.
At this moment, Zhu Lin magically pulled out a robe from the brocade bag and draped it over Xingxing's body. The robe looked light and not very heavy, but it could not only block heavy blows, but also adjust its temperature according to the changes in the weather.
Just like now, Xingxing felt cold all over, but after putting on the robe, she instantly felt warm, even warmer than if she were covered with a quilt. Moreover, the robe also had the function of protecting her from the rain.
Xingxing looked up, intending to suggest that Zhu Lin hide under the clothes, but then she noticed that the boy was also wearing a thin white garment, the same style as hers, only a few sizes larger.
The giant eagle was very fast, and in less than an hour it brought the two of them back to the cave where they had settled. By then, Zhu Lin had put the two robes into a brocade bag and jumped off the eagle's back with Xingxing in his arms.
Xingxing reached out to touch the giant eagle's thigh. Alas, it wasn't that she wanted to hug its thigh, but the eagle was just too tall, and she could only reach its legs. But if she wanted to pet it, she could only find the closest spot to stroke it a couple of times.
Unfortunately, the fur was wet, so it didn't feel very good to the touch.
"I love it so much, but it can't come with us." Xingxing looked up at Eagle Eye with sparkling eyes.
The giant eagle held its head high with pride, showing no interest in the little girl.
Zhu Lin took out a thin silver chain from the brocade bag. There were two exquisite bells on the silver chain. The boy tied the bells to the giant eagle's feet. This chain was obviously not an ordinary thing. Although it was thinner than a needle and thread, it was a magic weapon. So no matter how much time passed, it would not break and would always have the same luster as when it was first worn.
"What a beautiful anklet! Eagle, do you like this anklet?" Star asked sincerely, hoping to gain the giant eagle's approval.
"Giant Eagle?" Who is Eagle Eagle?
With its massive size, is it suitable for those cutesy, adorable, and even childish reduplicated names?
Although the giant eagle didn't make a sound, and even if it made a few "clucking" sounds, Xingxing wouldn't understand, but Xingxing's sharp eyes caught the eagle's disdainful look.
"Brother Phosphorus, Eagle is so mean! It looks down on me!" Star clutched the boy's clothes and complained.
The boy smiled and said gently, "It's just an eagle. Why should the stars bother with an eagle?"
Xingxing pouted and sighed, "Since you brought us back, I'll forgive you for glaring at me earlier. We'll still be good friends. Remember to come visit me when you have time. I want to visit you too, but you live on a cliff and I can't find you, so I'll have to ask you to come find me."
