Maine's lips curled up slightly, and he looked at him with a half-smile: "You want me to scream?"
Xie Sen inexplicably felt a sense of danger and instantly became timid, muttering softly: "I'm older than you, so you should call me that."
Maine reached out and rubbed his head, and said firmly, "Impossible."
"Tsk," Xie Sen dodged his hand and turned his head away, complaining, "Anything is possible, I will definitely let you say it out loud in the future!"
A smile flashed in Maine's eyes: "Then it depends on your ability."
Xie Sen rolled his eyes, and couldn't think of a good solution for the time being, so he asked, "What's your birthday?"
“Number 25.”
"Wow, I'm exactly one month older than you!"
The two chatted casually, and soon dinner was ready. They sat in the living room to eat dinner. Xie Sen looked around: "Where's the bird?"
"It flew out in the afternoon, probably to look for food." Maine didn't care too much.
Xie Sen: "You didn't give it food?"
Maine shook his head: "The food in the entire refrigerator is not enough for it to eat."
Xie Sen was stunned. He knew yesterday that the bird had a big appetite, but he didn't expect it to be so huge. The food it ate was enough to crush it to death. He didn't know how it could eat so much.
He told Sun Mao what he had guessed, and Maine nodded: "I checked it out, it should be a white-headed eagle beast."
"I didn't expect that the first S-level contracted beast I saw would be so small and cute." Xie Sen exclaimed.
Maine opened the bracelet, pulled up the information he had checked, expanded the virtual screen, and then turned the screen to Xie Sen, raising an eyebrow: "Small and cute? You won't think so when you see it as an adult."
Xie Sen looked over and saw that the entire screen was almost occupied by a giant bird flying in the air. The bird was very large, with a wingspan of at least three meters. Its head was covered with hard white feathers, and the rest of its feathers were shiny black. Its claws were sharp and its beak was hooked, all of which were shining with sharp light.
The giant bird's light grey eyes are looking at the screen, with a sharp and ferocious aura, as if it will pounce at you in the next second. Just looking at the photo makes people feel a chill down their spine.
Xie Sen felt a chill not only on his back but also in his heart. He stood up suddenly, and the stool was pushed back by him, making a harsh sound as it rubbed against the floor.
Maine looked at him in surprise: "Are you scared?" He reached out to turn off the bracelet.
"Don't turn it off!" Xie Sen said hurriedly. He put his hands on the table and leaned forward to observe the photo more closely.
Sure enough, it’s absolutely correct!
The image of this bird is exactly the same as the leader of the strange beasts who attacked Star City with Maine in the book!
Xie Sen tried his best to recall more details, but all he could remember was Maine's description of the attack, when Maine had used some means to invade the largest live broadcast platform in Star City, and openly and arrogantly announced that he was back for revenge.
At that time, there was a giant bird hovering next to him - the bald eagle, the leader of the exotic beasts.
Xie Sen clenched his fists. It turned out that Maine met the bald eagle on the night he turned evil.
He couldn't help but feel a little scared. If he hadn't found Maine that night, would Maine leave Star City and disappear in Star City? And when he came back, it would most likely be the plot in the book - bringing the grown-up bald eagle to attack Star City.
"Chirp~" A crisp bird call came from outside the window. After a while, the chubby little bird stood on Maine's raised left wrist. It stretched out its wings and patted its bulging belly. It tilted its round head and looked at Xie Sen, happily, "Chirp~"
Xie Sen looked at it, then looked at the virtual screen, his expression constantly changing.
The leaders of the two villainous bosses have gathered together. What should we do now?
Things are no longer the same as in the book, and Maine hasn't completely turned evil, but... will he suddenly return to his original trajectory?
He stared at the palm-sized bird, his eyes gradually filled with murderous intent.
If it was killed, would Maine not be able to contact the alien beast, and would the terrible scene of Star City being attacked by the alien beast not happen?
"Chi~" The bird made a sound that was several degrees lower than usual. It blinked its big eyes, covered its chest with its wings, and shrunk its neck. It looked aggrieved. The half of its head feathers that were tangled in blood had not been cleaned yet. It looked really pitiful.
"Don't like it?" Maine asked.
Xie Sen asked: "How long will it take for it to reach adulthood?"
"The adulthood period for high-level contracted beasts is very long, at least three years."
Three years? Xie Sen looked at the young bald eagle staring at him aggrievedly, and then looked at Maine. If he hadn't grown up with the blackened Maine, everything would have been different!
He couldn't take the lives of other creatures just because of what might happen, not to mention that this creature's intelligence was comparable to that of humans.
"If you don't want to raise it and don't like it, just kill it." Maine said without any emotion. The moment he finished speaking, he suddenly reached out and grabbed the bird with one hand.
"Chirp!!!" The screaming of birds suddenly exploded in the living room.
Xie Sen was startled. Seeing Maine's murderous look, he quickly grabbed his hand and said, "No, let it go. I like it very much."
Maine looked at him and let go. The bird flapped its wings, turned its body, and pecked at Maine's face. Maine dodged it easily by turning his body, staring at it with a bad look.
Seeing that the bird was about to attack Maine again, Xie Sen quickly said, "He was just joking with you, just testing your reaction ability. He won't do that again!"
The bird didn't react to his words. Although it was young, it was born with a ferocious nature and was extremely vindictive. It didn't get discouraged even though Maine dodged its attacks time and time again. It tried every way to attack from all angles, just to peck Maine.
Xie Sen was horrified. Although the bird was small, it was extremely fast, so only Maine could dodge it easily. If it were him, his face would probably be disfigured by the pecks.
He thought for a moment and said, "Chiu~"
In an instant, the man and the bird stopped what they were doing and looked towards him in unison.
Xie Sen blushed slightly, then he raised his eyebrows proudly and waved at the bird: "Don't be angry, take a rest, have you eaten?"
The bird chirped twice at Maine in the most aggressive tone, landed on the table, pointed its fat butt towards him, walked in front of Xie Sen, patted its belly with its wings, and rubbed Xie Sen's hand on the table.
Its feathers were very soft, and they made Xie Sen's hands itchy.
Xie Sen poked its fat body with his finger and said, "Since you are so fat, you will be called Tuantuan from now on. Remember not to hurt anyone casually, do you understand?"
The bird nodded: "Chirp~"
Xie Sen called out tentatively: "Tuan Tuan."
"Chiu~"
Xie Sen praised: "How clever."
Maine looked at him. "What happened to you just now? Your reaction wasn't right when you saw the photo."
Xie Sen laughed dryly: "I was just shocked. I didn't expect such a cute little guy to be so fierce when he grows up."
"Are you worried that it might hurt someone in the future, so you want to kill it?" Maine asked.
"I was thinking the wrong thing," Xie Sen said, nodding at Tuantuan's little body, "S-level contracted beasts have high IQs, and it's not a sin for you to be strong."
Maine looked at him, and Xie Sen smiled: "Hurry up and eat, it's getting cold."
After the two finished their meal, Xie Sen, taking Maine's injury into consideration, refused to let him wash the dishes. He cleared the dishes himself and went to the kitchen. During this time, Tuan Tuan followed him all the time, flying around him and watching him work curiously.
Xie Sen knew that it had a high IQ and did not regard it as an animal, but as a child. He introduced the kitchen to it while washing dishes, but did not expect it to understand everything, because washing dishes was boring anyway.
After washing the dishes, he looked at the feathers on Tuantuan's head that had not been taken care of, and he stretched out his hand: "I'll help you clean them."
Tuan Tuan tilted its round head and jumped into his palm. Xie Sen took it to the bedroom, checked its head, and found that the wound had healed. So he stopped worrying and washed its head feathers with a little water in the washbasin.
Although he was very careful, he couldn't avoid getting his entire head wet, and all the feathers drooped and stuck to his forehead.
It looks like he is bald.
"Chi!!!" Tuantuan stared at the mirror for a moment, cried out miserably, then turned his back to the mirror, tilted his head and looked at Xie Sen aggrievedly.
Xie Sen suppressed a smile, thinking that birds also love beauty. He took a piece of paper and gently absorbed the water from its feathers, and comforted it, "It will become beautiful when it dries."
Sure enough, after Tuantuan's head feathers were cleaned at night, the white feathers naturally became fluffy, looking very beautiful. Tuantuan flew in front of the mirror for a long time before flying out of Xie Sen's bedroom.
When Xie Sen was getting ready to go to bed at night, Maine came to his bedroom and naturally walked to the bed and sat down.
Xie Sen was stunned: "What are you doing?"
Maine said, "Aren't you having a nightmare while sleeping? I'll accompany you."
Xie Sen blinked and moved to the side. It was better to sleep together. He didn't have to worry about Maine running away.
On Saturday afternoon, Xie Sen was playing games with the children in the welfare home when he suddenly felt a familiar warm feeling in his head and his eyes lit up.
The hard green book in the system slowly opened, and dense vines gradually emerged on the third blank page. Finally, a circle was outlined in the middle of the vines. The circle changed from virtual to real, and gradually revealed its true appearance. Xie Sen couldn't help laughing.
[Congratulations, Master, you have activated the watermelon vine. The toughness of the watermelon vine is up to you.]
Ah? Xie Sen was stunned. It turned out that the protagonist was the watermelon vine, and the supporting role was the watermelon!
He looked at the exchange button, and a prompt immediately appeared in his mind: one energy for one meter of watermelon vine, please select the quantity.
Xie Sen blinked his eyes. What about the watermelon? He was more interested in eating it now. When he thought of the taste of the watermelon, he couldn't wait to eat it.
He checked the remaining energy and found that there were only 2 left, which were given to him by the children just now. He wanted to exchange them for a while, but he was reluctant to do so.
He looked at the blank page of the fourth page, and it showed 2/400 at the bottom, which means that the fourth plant requires four hundred energy.
He was not in a hurry. After all, after activating the three plants, Adam could already feel where the scattered energy was.
Thinking of this, Xie Sen shut down the system and continued to play games with the children. He said goodbye and left when the children were about to have dinner. At this time, his remaining energy value was 8.
He went straight back to the apartment and called for Adan.
As usual, Adam boasted a lot and then began to feel the energy. Xie Sen only felt that the temperature of the peony on his right shoulder was getting higher and higher. When he even thought he would be burned, Adam spoke again, and the temperature of the peony also dropped rapidly.
"Red energy is on this planet." Adam's voice was a little weak.
Xie Sen asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"
"It's okay. Now we can only feel the red energy. The rest of the energies are farther away from it and are interfered by the red energy, so we can't feel them for the time being." Adam said.
Xie Sen opened the bracelet, entered the star network and found the map of Brandt Star. The map was very large. Apart from the three main cities in the middle, the periphery was all continuous wild forests. The dangerous area in the middle of the forest was marked with a red line, forming a circular area.
He asked Adan: "Can you feel where it is exactly?"
"East, about a thousand kilometers from here."
Xie Sen marked the location and found a location one thousand kilometers to the east. Looking at the destination, he sighed, "This is too difficult!"
It's actually in the middle of a wild forest! Even without looking up information, you can tell from the red area sign that it's very dangerous.
"Difficult? Why?" Adam was puzzled.
Xie Sen explained: "The Savage Forest is full of wild beasts and the plants are also extremely strong, including carnivorous plants. The location you mentioned is in the most dangerous central part. In addition to these, there may be poisonous gas and miasma. I don't know if there will be any problems with the terrain."
A Dan: "You carry the aura of nature. As long as you don't attack actively, animals and plants generally won't attack you. As for the other difficulties...A Sen, you must have a way, right? You can definitely get the red energy. I believe in you!"
Xie Sen looked up at the sky: "I can't believe myself."
"No, how can you think that? You are the best!" After encouraging her, Adan put pressure on her, "If you can't get your energy back, your body won't be able to recover, and... if the unstable soul lasts too long, the consequences will be serious."
"What are the consequences?"
"The soul leaves the body."
Xie Sen was shocked. Isn't this death? He took a deep breath and said, "I will find a way to find the energy, but... I can't see the energy, right?"
Adan explained: "Energy will find a carrier. I can feel it. As long as you see it, I will be able to sense it and I will tell you."
"Okay, I understand. I'll think about what preparations I should make."
"Come on, Arsen. I'm going to go refill my energy."
Xie Sen walked out of the room worriedly. When he arrived in the living room, he ran into Maine who had just returned. Xie Sen looked at him in a black outfit, which was clearly what he wore for hunting, and asked quickly, "Did you go to the forest?"
"Um."
Xie Sen angrily stepped forward, grabbed his hand, pulled down his collar and checked the injury on his shoulder: "Are you crazy? Don't you know you are injured? Eh..."
The originally bloody wound now only left a black scar, and it looked like nothing was wrong.
Maine said, "I'm fine. The scar will fall off in two days."
Xie Sen was stunned: "Your recovery ability is too amazing!"
Maine saw his dazed look and rubbed his head. "Modern medicine has the best trauma technology. This recovery speed is normal."
Xie Sen knew that he had made another common sense mistake, so he coughed dryly and changed the subject: "Did you go hunting?"
"No," Maine said, "I read the news reports. There seems to be some big changes in the depths of the Wild Forest. People have found different species of high-level contracted beasts on the edge of the danger zone. I went to the forest to take a look. There are no changes on the periphery. I want to make some preparations to investigate further. Maybe I can find the Flying Lion Beast."
Xie Sen's heart skipped a beat: What a coincidence?
Could it be related to red energy?
