86: The First Time Devouring Humans (Part 1)
"Haaah!"
Qiao Yu stretched and woke up from his sleep.
He had expended too much mental energy when using the Psychic Attack on the Black-crowned Golden Eagle earlier, leaving both his body and mind utterly exhausted.
Controlling the flying knife didn't consume this much Psychic Power; it seemed that the Psychic Power consumed by Telekinesis and the Psychic Power Attack Method were two different concepts.
Qiao Yu rose from the Hibernation Pod forged by the fungal swarm; the sky was already turning a pale white.
[Writing up to this point, I hope readers remember our domain name: for Taiwanese novels, go to SuperZan]
All around Qiao Yu, the Black-crowned Golden Eagle and the Golden Vulture Flock bowed their heads to welcome their King.
"Hmm, I didn't expect that after subduing this Black-crowned Golden Eagle, it would come with such a large batch of eagle-type monsters. Now I don't have to bother searching for their nests."
Qiao Yu felt pleased in his heart, nodded, and muttered to himself.
This Black-crowned Golden Eagle alone had three High-level Beast General Rank eagle-type subordinates, and as for Intermediate Beast General Level and Junior Beast General Level monsters, there were over ten or twenty of them.
Furthermore, the Intermediate Beast General Level Golden Vulture among them was even the parent of the Golden Vulture he had previously taken in.
However, before Qiao Yu could relax for long, a Long Spear swiftly attacked the Black-crowned Golden Eagle.
Following that, several more spears came one after another.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
The spears arrived first, followed by the sound; clearly, the speed of these spears had exceeded the speed of sound.
The Black-crowned Golden Eagle merely glanced sideways, snorting a faint puff of hot air from its nostrils, showing its disdain.
With just a Flicker of Movement, the Black-crowned Golden Eagle dodged the spears' thrusts and returned to its original position.
If a slightly lower-level Martial Artist or monster had witnessed this scene, they would have only thought the spears passed directly through the Black-crowned Golden Eagle's afterimage without causing any harm.
"FXXK!"
Qiao Yu's ears caught a faint "internationally friendly voice" coming from afar, and his heart grew vigilant.
The platform where he currently stood had walls blocking his figure, so that Foreign War God Squad had not discovered his presence.
Qiao Yu merged his consciousness with the Black-crowned Golden Eagle, and through its exceptional vision, he spotted a black-skinned human where the spears had been thrown, currently beating his chest in frustration.
The Black-crowned Golden Eagle subconsciously wanted to attack that Chocolate Person, but Qiao Yu ordered it to stop.
"Martial Artists generally don't operate alone in the Wilderness Area. This 'Old Black' dared to target the Black-crowned Golden Eagle; either his strength has reached Advanced War God Level or even surpassed the God of War, or there's a War God Squad ambushing nearby, just waiting for the Black-crowned Golden Eagle to make a move."
Qiao Yu immediately realized that the Old Black man was probably just bait.
The real danger was likely lurking all around.
Sure enough, Miles looked surprised when he saw that the Black-crowned Golden Eagle didn't pay him much attention.
"Miles, what's going on? Why hasn't that Black-crowned Golden Eagle moved yet?"
The voice of his Captain came through Miles's Communication Bluetooth Headset.
"Captain, I don't know why this Black-crowned Golden Eagle didn't focus its aggression on me after being attacked."
Miles was clearly encountering this situation for the first time and looked somewhat flustered.
Based on his usual experience, don't monsters usually rush over angrily when they see humans?
"Judging by the situation, this Black-crowned Golden Eagle might have been ambushed by human squads several times. It's clearly experienced and won't strike easily unless it has an absolute certainty of victory."
The Captain's voice in the headset speculated cautiously.
"What should we do next, Captain?"
Miles took a deep breath and asked calmly.
"Since we can't make it drop its guard, we'll just have to force an encirclement and annihilation."
"Mike and Jordan, you two circle around from the other side. I'll go up and draw the aggro directly later. Miles, you are responsible for blocking its other Lesser Monsters."
The Big Guy Captain ordered.
"Got it!"
The rest of the Team Members responded one after another.
After speaking, the Big Guy Captain, with a few twists and turns, leaped onto the Rooftop where the Black-crowned Golden Eagle was located.
When he arrived on the Rooftop and saw the scene before him, he froze completely.
Flocks of Flying Monsters were prostrated on the ground, bowing their heads in submission to the human before them.
Qiao Yu looked expressionlessly at the rather massive Foreigner in front of him.
"Who are you?"
The Big Guy Captain looked cautiously at Qiao Yu and asked.
However, Qiao Yu ignored him, even though Qiao Yu's English proficiency was good enough for barrier-free communication.
But if Qiao Yu spoke now, wouldn't his entire 'Vibe' drop? It was best to maintain his current mysterious and cool demeanor.
"Man, what can I say?"
The Big Guy Captain felt annoyed when Qiao Yu ignored him.
But given the current surroundings, he didn't dare act recklessly.
The surrounding flock of Flying Monsters stared menacingly at the Big Guy Captain, their eyes full of Killing Intent.
However, the other members of this Foreign Squad were surprised when they saw their Captain jump onto the Rooftop but make no further moves.
They were all astonished internally; how was this different from the plan they had just made?
"Captain?"
"Zzzt!"
The call from a Team Member came through the Big Guy Captain's headset.
However, the static noise caused the Flying Monsters to react defensively, and the Golden Vulture Flock was the first to attack the Big Guy Captain.
"Caw!"
More than ten Beast General Level Golden Vultures rushed toward the Big Guy Captain.
However, the Big Guy Captain was no pushover; his Martial Artist rank had already reached the Advanced War God Level.
Dealing with this group of Beast General Level Golden Vultures was as simple as slicing melons and dicing vegetables.
The Big Guy Captain wielded a huge War Hammer and, with a few swift strikes, the dozen or so Golden Vultures were all slain beneath the massive War Hammer, turning into puddles of flesh and gore.
"Motherfucker."
"Could it be that this human isn't human, but a Humanoid Monster? Why can he control these monsters to attack me?"
The Big Guy Captain watched Qiao Yu stand calmly and composedly among the monster horde, waves of shock rising in his heart.
"Hey, Xiaozhi! Ni dao di shi shen mo shen fen? (Who exactly are you?)"
The Big Guy Captain finally couldn't hold it in and spoke in Chinese.
Only when he spoke Chinese did Qiao Yu feel a desire to communicate.
"Motherf*cker, you're on the land of China and you want me to speak a Foreign Language? Get lost."
Having held it in for a long time, Qiao Yu finally let loose a string of curses when he saw the Big Guy Captain speak.
"F*ck, he really is human! Kid, honestly explain whether you can control these monsters!"
Seeing Qiao Yu finally respond, the Big Guy Captain also started swearing.
After realizing Qiao Yu was human, he became extremely interested in Qiao Yu's Ability to Control Monsters.
If he possessed the Ability to Control Monsters, wouldn't hunting monsters and earning Commissions be as easy as eating and drinking?
