463: They're all here to deliver food.

"Which of you two prefers this Snow Spirit Horse?"

Qin Shilei wisely let the two of them choose who would be the owner of the Snow Spirit Horse.

"Zhang Xiaoli is more considerate of me, her older sister, and gave this opportunity to me."

Kong Qingshu cast another grateful look at Zhang Xiaoli.

"It's just that your spiritual power can probably only contract this one Snow Spirit Horse. Your former Purple Armor Bug and several other pets will likely have to be abandoned."

Qin Shilei handed the illusory contract grimoire to Kong Qingshu.

Kong Qingshu summoned her Purple Armor Bug, her eyes filled with reluctance.

After all, this Purple Armor Bug had accompanied her for a long time and had slain countless powerful enemies for her.

"After Qing Shu breaks the contract with you, do you want me to find you a new master, or do you want me to kill you with a sword?"

Qin Shilei looked at the Purple Armor Bug in front of him with a murderous expression.

An Qian's Wind Sprite was only Gold Nine-Star, so letting it go was fine. But the Purple Armor Bug was a Platinum One-Star exotic beast; it couldn't be easily released.

"Your Highness Qin An King, please find me another master."

Having been tamed once, this Purple Armor Bug wisely chose the path of survival.

With the Purple Armor Bug's active cooperation, He Yiyao successfully contracted it.

Zhang Xiaoli also took this opportunity to transfer her Purple Armor Bug to her mother, Liang Xinhui.

After a brief preparation, Kong Qingshu began to attempt to subdue the Snow Spirit Horse.

Without exception, with Qin Shilei's help, Kong Qingshu also successfully contracted the Snow Spirit Horse.

Although An Qian and Kong Qingshu both contracted Diamond Realm exotic beasts, the Blazing White Tiger and the Snow Spirit Horse were both severely injured and unable to fight in the short term.

Both women also suffered significant spiritual power depletion and needed time to recover.

For a time, Qin Shilei's side suddenly lost two high-end combatants.

At this point, only one-fifth of the mountain range's phantom had been pulled into the Mountain and Rivers Map; it would take at least another hour to be completely integrated by the Mountain and Rivers Map.

The situation was not optimistic.

Qin Shilei and the others immediately sat cross-legged on the back of the Golden Winged Thunder Roc, seizing the time to recover.

Time passed by the minute, and there were roughly ten minutes left until the Mountain and Rivers Map completely integrated the spirit of the mountain range.

Suddenly, several small black dots appeared on the distant horizon.

Qin Shilei focused his gaze, and a hint of worry arose.

A group of Dragon Eagles was approaching.

The one flying at the very front was only Platinum Six-Star; this level of cultivation was not worth mentioning to Qin Shilei.

It was the dense swarm of figures behind it that made Qin Shilei's scalp tingle upon seeing them.

"Qin An King, there are some on the right too!" Zhang Qiang shouted a reminder.

"On the left, and behind as well!" Xia Yunyan's voice began to tremble.

Qin Shilei transformed into a bolt of lightning and quickly circled the area, discovering that exotic beasts were attacking from all directions.

On the left were Bloodthirsty Bats, on the right were Chasing Wind Eagles, and behind were various mixed birds.

No Diamond Realm exotic beasts had appeared yet, but these flying creatures, all below Platinum, gave Qin Shilei a massive headache.

He made a quick estimate; the number of these exotic beasts was at least three to four million.

Although Qin Shilei was a Diamond master, facing such a massive number of flying exotic beasts, he could only retreat a great distance.

While he could hold out for half an hour or even longer under the siege of these exotic beasts, he couldn't guarantee the safety of his subordinates who were channeling vital energy into the Mountain and Rivers Map.

However, the Mountain and Rivers Map was on the verge of successfully integrating the spirit of this mountain range; leaving now would mean all efforts were in vain.

"Is it really necessary? This is just the Mountain and Rivers Map integrating a mountain range spirit, it's not like some golden heavenly treasure has appeared!"

Qin Shilei said fiercely.

"Perhaps the spirit of the mountain range is also very important to this planet. This should be a means for this planet to protect itself, just like our Blue Star created a system," An Qian speculated.

"How about we stop the integration of the Mountain and Rivers Map for now, and try again next time with full preparations?" Zhang Xiaoli suggested.

"Victory is within reach; it's too early to give up now."

Qin Shilei gritted his teeth and quickly gave orders to his subordinates.

"Zhang Qiang, Xie Haimei, Lu Tian罡, Shen Feixue, He Kaige, Xia Yunyan, Han Hongyu, you all get ready. I will capture their leaders, and you must quickly take them as pets."

"Then you will command your pets to control the attacking exotic beasts."

"An Qian, once those birds get within five hundred meters, you will cast Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix to control them and prevent casualties among our people."

"Zhang Xiaoli and Qing Shu, you two prepare to fill in gaps and eliminate any stragglers."

"Mary, I'll trouble you to promptly create illusory contract grimoires to help them contract pets."

After speaking quickly, Qin Shilei summoned a phantom to remain in place and hold the fort, while he himself transformed into a wisp of a shadow and swiftly flew towards the nearest group of Dragon Eagles.

While flying, he activated the Law Manifestation of Heaven and Earth ability.

Like a fighter jet, he violently charged into the flock of Dragon Eagles.

Along the way, countless Dragon Eagles were slain by streaks of cold light, continuously falling to the ground.

The number of this group of Dragon Eagles was at least seven to eight hundred thousand.

There were three Dragon Eagles above the Platinum Realm, specifically Platinum Three-Star, Platinum Four-Star, and Platinum Seven-Star.

Qin Shilei's first target was the strongest Dragon Eagle.

Seeing the murderous Qin Shilei, all three Dragon Eagle leaders felt a desire to retreat and flew off to the left, right, and upwards respectively.

"Your speed is too slow."

Qin Shilei instantly caught up to the strongest Dragon Eagle.

With a wave of his right hand, a sword qi beam twenty to thirty meters long shot out from his sword, instantly striking the Dragon Eagle's back.

A massive sword mark immediately appeared on its back, and blood gushed out.

The Dragon Eagle leader, afflicted by Divine Power Stiffening, also stiffened and fell to the ground.

"Move again, and I'll chop off your head!"

Qin Shilei flew onto the Dragon Eagle's back and placed his sword against its neck.

After it recovered from the stiffness, he ordered again: "Fly over there, quickly!"

However, this Dragon Eagle not only failed to follow Qin Shilei's instructions but instead turned its head and pecked fiercely at Qin Shilei.

"Seeking death!" Qin Shilei swung his sword, unhesitatingly severing the creature's head.

The Qiankun Ring automatically collected the spoils.

Qin Shilei turned and flew towards another Dragon Eagle.

He still easily wounded and subdued that Dragon Eagle.

This Dragon Eagle leader was clearly more fond of its life, and it flapped its wings, flying towards the mountaintop where the Mountain and Rivers Map was located.

After handing this Dragon Eagle over to the phantom for safekeeping, Qin Shilei once again pursued the last Platinum Realm Dragon Eagle.

By the time he captured that Dragon Eagle as well, Zhang Qiang had already successfully contracted the other Dragon Eagle. He was also commanding that Dragon Eagle to try and control the flock of Dragon Eagles that had already approached the mountaintop.

"Xie Haimei, this one's yours." Qin Shilei once again handed this Dragon Eagle to the phantom for safekeeping, instructing him to assist Xie Haimei in contracting this pet.
