A moment later.
Everyone was very happy to see the wild boar lying on the ground, and even Li had a smile on his face.
Chu tried to lift the wild boar, but even with a strong effort, he couldn't lift it. "This clumsy thing is so heavy!"
He took out his stone axe. "It seems I'll have to bleed it first and remove its internal organs to lighten its weight."
Their first prey was such a large wild boar—the big rat was useless anyway, better shared among the twenty of them as a snack. Such luck was remarkable, but one wild boar certainly wouldn't meet their hunting standards for this trip. They needed to hunt at least ten more of these size to be sufficient. To alleviate the pressure on some of the level-one warriors in the hunting party, bleeding, removing bones, and gutting were necessary.
Many first-level soldiers went over to help Chu, but Li Qing, having just contributed, was allowed to rest under a tree and didn't have to participate.
After busying himself for a while, Chu taught the first-level soldiers what to do next, and then walked over to Li Qing, who was resting.
With one hand propped against the tree trunk, Chu looked at the wild boar with a hint of appreciation in his eyes. "You've got guts, kid. When I was your age, if I encountered a big one like this, I'd probably be just like those first-level warriors, trembling with fear on the spot."
Chu's tone did not imply any blame for those first-level soldiers.
This was their first time hunting.
To achieve this level is already quite impressive.
Li Qing grinned. He wasn't actually injured much. After resting for a while, he quickly recovered. He stroked the fur of the big black dog lying at his feet. "Big black dog is the brave one."
Chu sighed, "What happened today has made me want to get a dog. It really helped us a lot at a crucial moment."
“Dogs are very loyal animals. Once they recognize their owner and their place of belonging, they will not betray their owner even if you beat them, kick them, or deprive them of food every day,” Li Qing said softly.
Chu interjected in surprise, "If a dog is this loyal, who would hit it or withhold its food? If there were such a person, I would definitely beat him to death!"
Suddenly, a bird called out from the sky. Li Qing smiled and looked up.
A creature twice the size of an eagle flew overhead. It had full plumage and claws that resembled the hind limbs of a Deinonychus, with one very large toe shaped like a sickle.
"What is that thing flying around?"
Li Qing looked up, pointed at the eagle-like creature, and asked.
Chu looked up and exclaimed in amazement, "That's a Heaven-Defying Eagle, a ferocious beast! I never expected to encounter a ferocious beast here!"
Chu explained, “It can fly much higher than other eagles, and its hunting methods are also more intelligent than other eagles. But most importantly, its strength is also much more terrifying than that of ordinary eagles… This thing is usually very rare, and you generally don’t encounter it. Including today, I have only seen it twice.”
"You've seen him once more?" Li Qing asked.
After recalling for a while, Chu said, "I saw it once when I was seven years old. At that time, this guy was fighting with a Tyrannosaurus Rex."
"Tyrannosaurus Rex? It can defeat a Tyrannosaurus Rex?"
Li Qing was startled.
If this bird could defeat a Tyrannosaurus Rex, that would be terrifying.
Even if it was a ferocious beast, Tyrannosaurus Rex was still the most powerful known dinosaur.
"Of course it can't beat it," Chu said with a laugh, seeing Li Qing's tense expression. "Its weight is not in the same league as the Tyrannosaurus Rex. It seems that it fought the Tyrannosaurus Rex to a draw, meaning neither of them could do anything to the other, so they just ran away."
Chu shrugged: "The Tyrannosaurus Rex actually had the strength to kill it, but it can fly, so there's nothing we can do. This Sky-Defying Eagle is just asking for trouble with the Tyrannosaurus Rex. But it's just that the Sky-Defying Eagle is naturally belligerent, fearless, and dares to fight any ferocious beast."
“I see,” Li Qing nodded, then suddenly realized a crucial point and his whole body trembled. “So, we might be in danger now?”
As if to confirm that Li Qing's words were correct, the eagle flying in the sky seemed to have discovered the hunting team's tracks on the ground. It flapped its wings and flew straight down!
"Wow!"
Chu cursed, quickly stood up, and shouted, "Be careful, don't get snatched up by the Heavenly Eagle!"
Chu's shout was so loud that everyone present reacted and looked up at the sky. When they saw the eagle that defied the heavens, they were all startled and ran in different directions without hesitation.
Chu was so angry at this scene that he almost cursed, "Run, what's the use of running! Those of you with weapons, fight back for me! You can still help each other now that you're all together, but what if you get separated and it catches one of you? With your strength, how could you possibly defeat this guy? There won't even be a way to save you then!"
Upon hearing this, the people who were about to escape came to their senses, raised their weapons, and looked warily at the Sky-Defying Eagle.
Chu gritted his teeth, his eyes fixed on the Heaven-Defying Eagle. But when he gradually realized what the Heaven-Defying Eagle was attacking, his face turned ashen.
"Wheat, watch out!"
The moment he spoke, Chu gripped his stone axe and moved it forward to block Li Qing.
However, it was still a step too late.
As an eagle, the Heaven-Defying Eagle flies extremely fast, and it is flying in a downward direction. Li Qing, whose body has not fully recovered, did not have time to react. Amid Chu's curses and Da Hei's uneasy cries, his entire body was grabbed by the Heaven-Defying Eagle.
Li Qing's body was instantly lifted into the air!
The feeling of weightlessness came instantly, and Li Qing felt a wave of dizziness. He often got airsick before he transmigrated, and now he felt even worse.
Feeling dizzy and extremely weak, Li Qing had no strength left to fight back. Moreover, the strange and terrifying claws of the Heavenly Eagle caused him a sharp pain in his abdomen.
Li Qing didn't need to look down to know that there was definitely a cut in that area, and blood was dripping from it.
As their field of vision gradually rose, Li Qing's body also gradually moved away from the ground, towering above the old trees and soaring into the sky. At this height, the hunting team and Chu's figure had become one black ant after another.
At this height, even if Li Qing wanted to fight back, he dared not. He was afraid that if he did, regardless of the outcome, the Heaven-Defying Eagle would release its talons and let him freefall to the ground. Even if he had incredible luck and the protagonist's halo, he would still be smashed into a pile of minced meat!
