The majestic eagle's cry pierced through the sky, and the magnificent eagle swooped down towards me. At the same time, Maik's hand held a knife, which slashed out, creating a trail of knife marks and preventing me from advancing forward.
There was only a choice of sidestepping or retreating, but the eagle was moving too fast, even faster than the evolved vicious eagle. No matter which direction I dodged, it could change direction and catch up with me.
Only forward! I rolled forward, "Ground-cutting knife!"
This was not a skill, but something I learned in a martial arts game before. However, at that time, it was in a skill state, and I didn't feel anything about it. But in this game, rolling on the ground once really hurt a lot while wearing armor.
Although I rolled clumsily and ungracefully, Maik was still taken by surprise. He slashed two more times with his knife, both hitting my shield, while my knife forced him to retreat backward. Seeing me entangled with my master, the eagle hesitated and didn't pounce down.
Maik slashed twenty or so times with his feet on me, and only three of them hit him. He also managed to land one blow on me.
My equipment was better than Maik's, and in terms of points, since I had been leveling up alone recently and choosing difficult monsters, my growth points were higher, even a little better than Maik at level 40. So, Maik lost 300 health points, while I only lost 70.
I was ecstatic inside. Using such an ugly move was worth it. But I couldn't be too fast, otherwise, if I couldn't control myself, it would be bad if I broke Maik's legs.
Just at the moment when my hand weakened, Maik suddenly let out a long cry and jumped into the air. The eagle, in perfect harmony, flew down and landed steadily on its master's back.
Damn, how could we fight now.
Maik in the sky had already switched to a staff and fired a string of rock-throwing spells. I quickly took out my wand and blocked each one with the rock-throwing spell. This was the characteristic of the rock-throwing spell. Due to its physical nature, although it could temporarily be used as a defensive wall, it could also be blocked by others' rock-throwing spells or sword shields.
Since there were no potions sold on the grassland, Maik's spell level was only intermediate. And my casting speed was faster than him. After a series of exchanges, I sent out two more rock-throwing spells directly at Maik. Unfortunately, the eagle's large wings flapped, scattering one, and the other hit the eagle, reducing its health by 80 points.
With 2000 health points, the eagle was a good shield. How to fight!
MP shouldn't be used randomly. I quickly picked up my staff shield and switched to a bow and arrow, shooting at Maik. However, all the arrows were intercepted by the eagle.
Maik's archery skills were much better than mine. Although the equipment levels were quite different, he could only shoot me 50 times at a time. But it was still terrifying. And from time to time, a four-shot barrage forced me to use the acceleration spell and desperately dodge, and then use several healing spells. My MP was exhausted.
Jean and others nearby frowned. Except for that big guy who hated me, everyone subconsciously stood by me, a player. Especially seeing Maik's huge pet advantage, they felt even more aggrieved.
Seeing that I was struggling to survive on the ground, completely defenseless, fate seemed to help me. Due to my acceleration spell boosting agility, many of Maik's arrows missed. The eagle finally lost patience and rushed down at me.
The eagle in the sky had no chance of winning. When it landed, I had a glimmer of hope!
Feeling the eagle's whistling sound, I knew I had to take a risky strike.
The eagle was getting closer. When it was only a few丈 above the ground, the MP I had accumulated was enough. "Combo!"
Two arrows shot towards the eagle's eyes.
With the power of the synergy of the mind, a sudden attack at close range, the two arrows accurately hit the eagle's eyes, leaving it with no chance to dodge!
A scream, the eagle struggled to flap in the sky, but the downward momentum didn't decrease. Its claws deeply gripped my shoulders. Maik was also thrown down by the fierce struggle of the Dharma Eagle. He quickly jumped up and was about to rush towards me, but he saw that the Dharma Eagle had already taken off again and had carried me into the air.
The wind was roaring loudly in his ears, and his shoulders were in intense pain. I wanted to attack the Dharma Eagle with my hands, but my hands couldn't even be raised. It felt as if they had been disabled.
Looking down, the ground was getting farther and farther away from me. I feared it had risen to a height of hundreds of feet. The Dharma Eagle was still ascending at full speed.
I raised my head and saw that the eyes of the Dharma Eagle were rapidly healing. Now the ferocity of the Dharma Eagle was no longer caused by pain, but by anger.
The sky had risen to two hundred feet. The Dharma Eagle still had no intention of stopping. In my mind, I had already imagined the scene from the day in Feiyong Town, where the Cold-Faced Buddha fell from a great height. It was so painful to think about that I felt my whole body stiffen.
Even if I knew that the Dharma Eagle would throw me down, it would only be a death and a level drop. However, I was still afraid of the terrifying situation that was coming.
I used the Animal Taming Technique on the Dharma Eagle, braving the fierce wind and singing several songs. Unfortunately, this wild fifth-level boss was basically unaffected by it.
The Dharma Eagle suddenly stopped, emitting an extremely excited strange roar. Without intuition, I already knew that it was about to let go of its claws.
In desperation, I struggled to find something in the bag to use as a parachute. Suddenly, I found something: "Stone Eagle!"
My heart jumped suddenly. I took the Stone Eagle in my hand, and the eagle claw on my shoulder suddenly trembled, making me lose my mind and thinking that it had let go.
But then I felt the fear of the Dharma Eagle. Indeed, the Stone Eagle, a divine statue, had a great influence on eagles!
To survive in a desperate situation, I didn't care anymore. The Animal Taming Technique was released again.
With several low cries, the Dharma Eagle gradually submitted and began to slowly descend.
The herders looking up at the sky from the grassland and Jean and other players didn't wait for my scream when I fell, but saw something that was beyond their belief.
The Dharma Eagle descended from the sky, with its claws empty. Then, they saw that on the Dharma Eagle's back was my bright smile.
Maik was stunned, taking several steps back and murmuring: "Impossible, impossible!"
Finally, Maik let out a roar and jumped onto the horse, running towards the distance, all the while howling.
I jumped off the eagle's back, stroked the Dharma Eagle, and finally sighed, withdrawing the Animal Taming Technique, and said to the Dharma Eagle: "Go, find your master."
The Dharma Eagle's eyes showed hesitation, and its wings trembled uneasily. It seemed that it didn't know how to choose.
I smiled wryly. The affection between Maik and the Dharma Eagle since childhood still couldn't compare to one item. This was truly a sad thing.
I put away the Stone Eagle, and the Dharma Eagle then looked at me. The fierce and dominant aura of just now vanished in an instant, and it spread its wings, sending a strong gale that made all of us fall down. Then, the Dharma Eagle ascended and chased after Maik.
The look in the eyes of the herders at me at that moment was filled with awe. The Dharma Eagle was the sacred bird in the eyes of the Kazakh people. It was so obedient to me. Could this be the incarnation of the god now?
Jean and the other five players looked at me in surprise. Jean said: "Chief, the Stone Eagle you were holding just now seems to be a sacred artifact?"
I smiled slightly: "Probably, it was obtained by chance."
Soto snorted coldly: "Using a sacred artifact to help is not proper. However, I'm really surprised that you were able to release the boss pet you got. You really are amazing."
He didn't say anything, but I wasn't really bothered yet. Now, I really regretted regretted. If I had kept the Dharma Eagle by my side, spent some effort, I could have definitely controlled it as my pet. That would be extremely powerful combat power!
However, I couldn't take away Maik's childhood companion pet and friend. Looking at Maik and the dragon flying away, I gave a wry smile and said, "Perhaps, in the near future, he will come back to retrieve what belongs to him. Just like Harry Potter, and I, then, would be that evil uncle, hehe."
The players looked at each other in confusion, and finally a timid voice asked, "Excuse me, Lord Headmaster, are you referring to 'Hamlet'..." "..." "..." "..."
It cannot be proved that I am a cruel chief. Jean and his group temporarily stayed in the Hasa tribe to explore this new and strange place.
I distributed hundreds of silver-level equipment to the herdsmen, which won me a lot of support. However, forcing the son of the old chief to leave still made them resentful.
I began to build the "Hasa Village" as I envisioned.
Although the herdsmen often moved, giving them a base might enable them to gradually change.
Since my town was guarded by the "Gem of the Sea", the stone used for building the village from the lost village was retrieved and carried with me. Building the village didn't require the construction of an altar, just burying it underground would work.
After burying the village-building stone, the ground became a resurrection point, and facilities such as houses could be built around it. At this point, the system prompted me to name the newly built village. I named it "Hasa Village" since this village was not within the territory of the Western Cool Kingdom, so there was no need to report to the capital. Otherwise, it might have been another troublesome matter.
The herdsmen lived in tents, but considering that I would often have friends or NPCs come to help them, I still built three houses.
Next came the teleportation array. First, I recited the newly learned prayer technique to enhance my luck, then sang a song to increase my happiness. Finally, I combined my will with the technique, with construction magic as the main focus and carving magic as a supplement. After several failures, I finally built a "small teleportation array".
The energy of this teleportation array is only enough for ten uses per day, but it is sufficient. I set myself and my friends as teleportable, and set everyone else as non-teleportable. This setting can be changed at any time.
Shortly after the teleportation array was built, the sun rose. Chico and his parents logged in together and saw my message. They immediately discovered the additional location of the lost village's teleportation array and thus, the family rushed over for a visit.
Seeing the beautiful scenery of the prairie, the whole family was stunned.
After their happiness wore off, I appointed Chico as the village manager of Hasa Village. Since other friends probably had no interest in managing this place, Chico's family was the only one who could do it.
Chico was extremely satisfied with this position and immediately discussed various plans with his parents. Finally, someone could share my burdens, and with Chico's family around, I could completely rest assured about the affairs of the Hasa tribe.
Next, I became Chico's employee. I could do whatever I wanted, fortunately, when I returned to the village, I happened to see that everyone had completed their level-up training, so I grabbed Fimir and took him to Hasa Village to do hard labor.
The Tiger King also wanted to visit my new village. However, I was afraid that the teleportation array was insufficient, so I told them to go there later.
After a long period of work, I finally built a protective shield, a magic pillar, five houses, a basic pharmacy, a basic materials store, and a basic restaurant.
Now there are no NPCs in the stores, and the variety and quantity of the items for trading are not many. But for the Hasa people, it is already enough. Now I need to help them get used to this trading method.
It's mealtime. There is no chef, and the restaurant only has buns and dry food. No, who said there was no chef? There is one right in front of me: me!
I put on the golden chef hat and apron given by Senorita, used the intermediate third-level cooking technique, waved my legendary chef pot, and made a silver-level chef spatula. With a swish, swish, swish, dozens of dishes were quickly placed in front of the herdsmen.
The herdsmen looked at these things in confusion, wanted to do something, but were bounced back. I gave each of them a copper coin and told them to put this on the table first, then I took the copper coins back, and they could eat.
After the meal, the herdsmen were extremely satisfied. They finally found what they needed. Then, I taught them to exchange materials such as fur, meat, and milk at the materials store for money, and then buy medicine to level up.
After finishing this task, I went out and saw that Chico's family had planted rows of trees and flowers somewhere. How passionate they were!
Then, a sound of horse hooves came, and Jean and his group returned. Seeing the miraculous change before their eyes, all five of them froze. Then, they looked at me with a peculiar gaze, as if they had seen God.
I smiled proudly and invited them to join my new village, and offered to provide the teleportation array for free.
Jean nodded: "Seeing what you've built and the smiles of the herdsmen, it seems that our mission is over. We'll go find that wandering herdsman and tell him about this. We'll persuade him to come back and then we'll settle here as well."
"Right." Jean took out something from his pocket: "We traveled very far and were led to its den by a wolf boss. We found this baby and you should naturalize him first."
Wolf child? I never expected such a thing. I cautiously approached to examine the baby's face.
Suddenly, it was as if a lightning bolt passed through my mind, and my heart tightened.
