Xia Chujian got down to business: "Here's the thing. First, we need a larger Flying Vehicle. Also, it needs to be fast, not taking three days to get to me."
"If we wait another three days, the Daylily will be cold..."
Song Mingqian understood and said, "Looks like we need a high-level Flying Vehicle, which can get there in six hours."
"But my level in the Association isn't high enough yet. I'm afraid only Ye Dui has the authority to borrow one..."
Ping Qiong quickly asked, "Ye Dui, are you in Mulan City?"
Ye Shijie said, "I just got back. Xia Chujian is lucky, and so are we!"
"Okay, I'll go borrow one. Shall we meet at the Association's Branch Station?"
Ye Shijie finally recovered his usual decisive self.
Ping Qiong cheered, "Be there soon!"
While her teammates went to the Dark Night Hunter Association's Branch Station in Mulan City to borrow a large Flying Vehicle, Xia Chujian had to stay here alone for about six hours.
She hugged Si Xi and said, "Si Xi, let's go to that Small Wooden House and wait for them."
She activated the Shao Siming Black Silver Mecha, and just as she flew into the air, a giant bird flew swiftly towards her from afar.
It was a golden giant bird with a wingspan of four to five meters!
Its head was particularly large, four or five times the size of an ordinary hawk's head.
Its wings were not only very long but also incredibly wide and thick, with golden feathers that shone like gold.
With a flap of its wings, it seemed to stir the air at high altitude, pushing away gusts of swirling wind!
Its strength was truly immense.
Even more peculiar was that this bird had four legs! Not bird legs, but four legs that looked very strong, like those of a lion.
The entire bird also looked like a lion in size, not at all like the size of an ordinary hawk.
Xia Chujian's eyes narrowed slightly.
Wasn't this the Griffon Sea Eagle?!
Their Team had even chained it up before...
It didn't submit to anyone except Xia Chujian's Large Sniper Rifle.
It was quite an astute bird.
Unfortunately, Xia Chujian was wearing the Shao Siming Black Silver Mecha, with no aura exposed at all.
The Griffon Sea Eagle came menacingly, its wings stirring up gusts of swirling wind in the air, mixed with snowflakes, as if whipping up a snowstorm.
Xia Chujian wasn't in a hurry. In the backpack behind her, there should be something small that could restrain this big guy.
Sure enough, the Little Chubby Bird A Yuan sensed something was wrong and poked its head out from the gap along the top of Xia Chujian's backpack, taking a peek.
When it saw a big guy with golden feathers, it narrowed its eyes enviously, and then, without even removing its Bit, it chirped a couple of times casually.
Then the menacing Griffon Sea Eagle plunged straight down.
It almost dove headfirst into a snowdrift.
From a distance, it looked as if a golden mountain had grown out of the white earth.
Xia Chujian found the sight quite amusing.
She originally wanted to ignore it, but thinking that they had a certain connection, she manipulated the Shao Siming Black Silver Mecha to descend again.
...
Arriving next to the Griffon Sea Eagle, Xia Chujian raised a Mechanical Arm, grabbed one of the Griffon Sea Eagle's legs, and pulled it out of the snowdrift with great force, throwing it onto the snow beside her.
The Griffon Sea Eagle looked up and saw a person standing in front of it whose face it couldn't see, and it began to tremble.
The object of its trembling was not actually this person, but a sense of fear like Bloodline Suppression that it had felt earlier.
It was a fear that ran deep in its Gene, and even though it had no idea what was going on, it didn't stop it from submitting to this power.
So it lay down in front of Xia Chujian, its limbs as if kneeling on the ground, and lowered its bird head, making a gurgling sound in its throat to show its friendliness.
Xia Chujian sighed, knowing this fellow must have forgotten her.
So she revealed her Judicator No. 7 Sniper Rifle, pressing it against the Griffon Sea Eagle's head.
The Griffon Sea Eagle seemed stunned for a moment, then suddenly raised its head, not caring at all about the sniper rifle pointed at its forehead. Its golden eyes looked at Xia Chujian, and it even opened its beak, as if smiling! A short, rapid cooing sound came from its throat, not the forced submission after Bloodline Suppression, but genuine joy and surprise.
Xia Chujian certainly couldn't hear these subtle differences, but she could sense a slight change in the Griffon Sea Eagle's emotions.
Xia Chujian patted its golden head and said, "The Exotic Beast Forest hasn't been peaceful lately, have you been affected?"
Thinking this, Xia Chujian suddenly withdrew her hand and said to the Little Chubby Bird, "A Yuan, it's not parasitized by a Remnant Species, is it?"
The Little Chubby Bird chirped twice but didn't respond.
Xia Chujian guessed it probably wasn't.
Relieved, she stroked the golden feathers on the Griffon Sea Eagle's head a couple more times and said, "Someone will be here soon, you should fly away."
She said it twice before leaving the place and returning to the Small Wooden House.
The Griffon Sea Eagle stared longingly in the direction she left, wanting to chase after her, but not daring to.
After spacing out on the snow for a while, it flapped its wings and soared into the sky, flying towards the northern sky.
...
Xia Chujian returned to the Small Wooden House and lit the fire in the Small Wooden House with an electronic igniter.
Actually, wearing a fully enclosed Mecha, she wasn't cold at all.
But she always felt that in a winter cabin, a fire must be lit to create the atmosphere.
Then she set up the wire mesh in the Small Wooden House and started grilling things to eat.
They were all fungal plants they had picked from the Exotic Beast Forest, and a little Wild Rhinoceros Pig meat she had saved.
Of course, it was the Wild Rhinoceros Pig meat that had been processed earlier; she had saved a little to grill.
The campfire burned, and the Small Wooden House was warm.
Xia Chujian put away the Shao Siming Black Silver Mecha, put on her coat, and sat in the warm Small Wooden House, eating fragrant grilled fungi and grilled Wild Rhinoceros Pig meat.
When Li Fu, Song Mingqian, Ping Qiong, and Ye Shijie came in, they were immediately tempted by the aroma of the Wild Rhinoceros Pig meat combined with the Red Lion Morel.
The group didn't even bother to talk, and sat down directly in front of the fire, picking up the grilled meat and Red Lion Morel from the wire mesh, and eating it in large bites.
Li Fu even took out a bottle of Tequila he carried with him from his backpack, and toasted with Ye Shijie and Song Mingqian.
Xia Chujian said, "Is this alcohol only for men?"
Li Fu said, "Oh, forgot about Cai Jie. Come on, Cai Jie, have a drink too!"
Xia Chujian said, "What about me?"
Li Fu said, "You're not old enough to drink yet, I wouldn't dare let you drink. If your Aunt finds out, we won't be able to visit your house again!"
Xia Chujian glared at him, but didn't insist on continuing to drink.
...
After the five people finished eating and drinking, Xia Chujian took them to see the cracked stone mountain.
She emphasized, "It's been three or four days since I found this place and killed those Remnant Species."
"If we don't get it out quickly, I'm afraid someone will come and steal the fruit."
Ye Shijie looked at the cracked stone mountain, also speechless, and said after a long while, "...How did it crack?"
Xia Chujian gestured: "Of course, the Remnant Species burst it open from the inside, otherwise would it crack on its own?"
Everyone: "..."
Ye Shijie said, "The Remnant Species was hiding well inside, why would it burst open the stone mountain on its own?"
He looked at the stone mountain for a while, pointed to a place and said, "...Did you do this?"
Xia Chujian smiled: "Ye Dui has good eyes! This is my Punishment 0937 Electromagnetic Cannon!"
Everyone: It's over, this person has gone from playing with guns to playing with cannons.
Li Fu asked curiously, "How many shots did you fire? Couldn't be a hundred thousand again..."
Xia Chujian scoffed, "Fu Ge, just because you're ignorant doesn't mean you have to be clueless."
"How could I fire a hundred thousand shots? Is the electromagnetic cannon's energy system the same as a regular machine gun bullet?"
"Even if I wanted to, I wouldn't have that much energy!"
Li Fu laughed heartily, "So you did think about it!"
Song Mingqian smiled and said, "Stop joking around, let's hurry up and collect the spoils!"
Xia Chujian immediately said, "Song Ge is right! There are about a thousand dead Wild Rhinoceros Pigs here, but because the temperature is so low, they're basically frozen as soon as they die, and it hasn't been long, so the meat is still very fresh."
"Our Flying Vehicle is big enough, and we have enough freezer bags, so we can cut them up and pack them right away."
"But the main thing I want to talk about isn't the thousand dead Wild Rhinoceros Pigs."
"It's the twenty-two living Wild Rhinoceros Pigs over there."
"There are two females and twenty males, perfect for domesticating."
"The females are for breeding, and we can choose the strongest males for mating, so we can continuously raise Wild Rhinoceros Pigs."
Li Fu stroked his chin and said, "That's possible, but we all know that Wild Rhinoceros Pigs mainly grow up eating wild Black Truffles, which is why their meat is so delicious."
"If we domesticate them, will we have enough Black Truffles to feed them?"
Xia Chujian said, "I've researched this, and although Wild Rhinoceros Pigs are said to grow up eating wild Black Truffles, they don't only eat wild Black Truffles."
"So wild Black Truffles are, at most, just one component of the Wild Rhinoceros Pig's diet."
"When raising them in captivity, we should be able to mix the same proportion of Black Truffles into their feed."
Ye Shijie asked curiously, "Do you even know the proportion of Black Truffles that these Wild Rhinoceros Pigs eat?!"
Xia Chujian said matter-of-factly, "It can be calculated!"
"For example, based on the Wild Rhinoceros Pigs' natural habitat, we can calculate how many Black Truffles are produced here."
"Then, based on the size of the Wild Rhinoceros Pig population in this area, we can calculate how many Black Truffles each Wild Rhinoceros Pig can eat to reach adulthood."
Song Mingqian and Ping Qiong exchanged glances.
Li Fu praised, "I didn't expect Little Chujian to be such a scholar! No wonder she's this year's National Higher Education Entrance Examination champion for the entire Empire! Hahahaha!"
Xia Chujian's lips twitched, "Fu Ge, stop joking around, let's pack up these dead Wild Rhinoceros Pigs and load them onto the Flying Vehicle first."
The four of them nodded together, "That's definitely the most important thing!"
They all knew how expensive Wild Rhinoceros Pig meat had become in restaurants throughout the Beichen Empire.
Not to mention the twenty-two Wild Rhinoceros Pigs they were going to domesticate, just the meat, teeth, and kidneys of these thousand Wild Rhinoceros Pigs, if the five of them split it up, each person could get at least ten million Beichen Coins!
