Chapter 240 Feeding the Spirit and Embracing Radiance (Third Update)
Sitting on the broad back of the eagle, looking down from high above, he held a spear in his right hand and carried a bow on his back.

The thin mist over the sea had not yet completely dissipated.

The indigo sea was surging with waves when suddenly Qin Ziwen's gaze sharpened.

He saw it, diagonally below.

A huge, blurry black shadow swept across the surface of the sea and quickly disappeared into the deeper waters.

Judging from the outline of the shadow, it is quite smooth and slender, like a chopstick embedded in a potato, making it easy to identify.

In this sea area, creatures that look like this are most likely plesiosaurs.

Based on Qin Ziwen's experience of looking down from the eagle during this period, it should be no less than twenty meters high.

"Is that the sea monster that capsized the ship last night?"

Qin Ziwen pondered, but the eagle was fast; they had already reached the airspace above the island.

It circled the sea and landed on the back of the largest island.

In the sky, Qin Ziwen saw the tall office building that stood out prominently in the forest.

The glass windows, illuminated by the sunlight, resembled mirrors.

The surrounding trees all seemed rather short in comparison to it, barely reaching its waist.

It was completely hidden behind the hill, and could not be seen from the other side of the island.

The harpy eagle circled once before finally landing near a secluded beach.

Perhaps the landing was too loud and disturbed the local indigenous people near the beach.

The grass nearby swayed, and then two clumps of "shrubs" actually stood up.

"Elephant birds!?" Qin Ziwen was somewhat surprised, not expecting to encounter two level-one mission targets so soon after arriving.

According to Wang Jun, the elephant bird was the largest bird to ever exist on Earth. It weighed three times that of a modern ostrich and could stand up to three meters tall.

Not only is it large, but its eggs are also the largest of all known birds on Earth.

The two elephant birds in front of us are almost four meters tall when they stand, and their huge beaks are like two extremely exaggerated scimitars.

It has sparse hair on its head and neck, and extremely long legs.

Its scarlet eyes were fixed intently on the harpy eagle.

As for Qin Ziwen, who was standing on the back of the harpy eagle, he was completely ignored by the two elephant birds.

"Goo!"

The elephant bird made a call, but instead of attacking immediately, it hopped around in place, its strong legs kicking up clouds of sand as it performed some kind of mysterious dance.

Their long-degenerated wings are held high to maintain balance.

Qin Ziwen realized that it was trying to intimidate them and scare them away in this way.

He looked the two elephant birds over and then shook his head.

These two elephant birds are too weak; they are not worthy of his use of the Imperial Meteorite to plunder their abilities.

"Let me try."

Qin Ziwen jumped off the eagle's back.

After stretching his neck and breaking through to the extraordinary realm to become a master, Qin Ziwen and the horned eagle signed spirit contracts with Hei Zai respectively.

This spiritual contract isn't actually that exaggerated; it's more of a conceptual effect. Once both parties' intentions align, they can easily form a bond.

Based on the effects of feeding on spirits and radiance, the contract will be successful afterward.

He can inherit a suitable ability from the other person, and the inherited ability will adapt to his own physical condition.

The ability he gained from the harpy eagle is air manipulation.

After mutation, it became an airflow sensory network.

Unlike the harpy eagle, which can directly manipulate airflow, Qin Ziwen felt that the surrounding airflow formed an invisible sensory network around him.

Within his range, the airflow seemed to become an extension of his skin; every attack would trigger the airflow, so as long as he was within a certain range, the airflow caused by the movement of all objects would form a clear outline.

After acquiring this ability, it becomes a passive effect.

He no longer needs to painstakingly manipulate airflow for combat; instead, it becomes a passive, supportive effect. Then there's the ability he inherited from Blackie.

The ability inherited from Hei Zai is simple and brutal—immense strength.

For a giant creature that grows to be eighty tons when it reaches adulthood, there is no talent more suitable than its brute strength.

Especially since Blackie hasn't broken through to the extraordinary level yet, all it can rely on right now is its powerful physical strength.

After inheriting the immense power, he could feel that his strength was now much greater than before.

But he lacked a concrete understanding of the specific extent.

There are now two suitable targets.

As a target for a Level 1 hunting mission, especially one as challenging as the elephant bird, it is the perfect choice.

Upon discovering that the bird and the person in front of them showed no signs of retreating, the two elephant birds moved closer, swaying their necks from side to side.

Like two springs.

Qin Ziwen gripped the gun barrel and thrust it forward.

Power is explosive force, and explosive force is speed.

The bird's neck on the left was instantly pierced with a hole.

The elephant bird on the right sensed something was wrong and quickly retreated.

But it was still a step too late.

Qin Ziwen drew his spear and chased after the enemy to the right.

With a thrust of his spear, Qin Ziwen sensed a change in the direction of the airflow and predicted its next move.

Instead of stabbing, the bird's neck snapped violently.

He stumbled and nearly fell.

On the left, the elephant bird, its spearhead pulled out, staggered a few steps, blood gushing from the hole in its neck.

It was as if it had drunk fake alcohol; it spun around twice in place, then with a "thud," it fell heavily to the ground, leaving only its lungs and chest still heaving violently.

Qin Ziwen caught up with the elephant bird that was nearly knocked down.

This elephant bird may have a large size, but it doesn't have a strong desire to attack. When it gets injured, its first reaction is not to fight back, but to run away.

After thrusting several times, the elephant bird struck its plump rump, and driven to desperation, it turned and pecked at Qin Ziwen.

But its movements were too large.

The air currents created were particularly noticeable to Qin Ziwen. He took a half step back to avoid the attack range, and then, taking advantage of the spear's strength, thrust out again.

This time, the arrow struck its neck, and the elephant bird collapsed moments later.

Qin Ziwen discovered the weakness of these elephant birds.

They have long necks with well-developed neck muscles, but also very dense blood vessels, making them extremely vulnerable to injury.

“Weakling.” Qin Ziwen put away his spear and glanced at the two elephant bird carcasses on the ground. Each elephant bird weighed no less than one and a half tons.

However, there's no way to deal with it now. Summoning a node here would be a waste, as nodes have a 7-day cooldown.

Just as he was about to leave, the harpy eagle suddenly called out to him, "Awooo!"

After calling out twice, the harpy eagle grabbed an elephant bird, flapped its wings violently, creating a gale around it, and with great effort, slowly took off, finally managing to grab the elephant bird's carcass and wed it onto a nearby tree branch. It repeated this process, leaving both elephant bird carcasses hanging on the tree. After doing all this, the harpy eagle elegantly preened its feathers.

After testing his skills, Qin Ziwen had a general idea of ​​his current combat capabilities.

Taking on two or three level-one hunting targets single-handedly is no problem.

But if the quantity is larger, it will become a bit troublesome.

Then, Qin Ziwen carried a long spear and moved through the dense forest, while the harpy eagle spread its wings and glided close to the treetops.

Half an hour later, on the only small hilltop on the island, you can see the office buildings below.

Outside the office building, a large number of residents were cutting down and collecting trees.

The felled logs were carried into a courtyard in the urban village behind them, and from a distance, thick smoke could be seen billowing from the courtyard.
