Playing with fantasy beasts in the martial arts world

Chapter 51 Occupying the Mining Area
When one of the swift falcons was revealed in full, Cha Nan's heart pounded wildly.

Theoretically speaking, with the power he currently possesses, he has no fear of these two Gale Falcons and can forcibly occupy the mining area. He only needs to drive the two Gale Falcons away, without having to go through the trouble of killing or subduing them.

In reality, it was impossible for Guo Jing, Huang Rong, and Shui Mu Yin Ji to stay near the mining area forever.

However, as soon as there are no experts guarding the area, these two Swift Falcons will come back to attack, and the mining area that has been acquired will be lost again. This back and forth is extremely annoying.

Therefore, the best solution is to hunt them down or tame them.

Cha Nan turned to look at Guo Jing, but Guo Jing did not move. He kept his eyes fixed on the two Swiftwind Falcons, waiting for the right moment to strike. However, the three steel arrows that Cha Nan had brought were already nocked on the bowstring and ready to be fired at any time.

Two swift falcons circled and snatched up the mutton from below the cliff, letting out joyful cries.

In a fleeting moment, the figures of the two Swiftwind Falcons overlapped significantly, and at that very moment, Guo Jing made his move.

Duh! Duh! Duh!
Three steel arrows were fired in quick succession. The first arrow forced the two Swift Falcons to take flight and rise higher, while also overlapping them more closely. The second arrow pierced through the wings of the two Swift Falcons, greatly reducing their ability to fly and causing them to fall from the sky. As for the third arrow, it arrived late, hitting the abdomen of the two Swift Falcons and connecting them together.

"Beautiful!" Cha Nan couldn't help but admire Guo Jing's archery skills.

This is truly a master archer, without a doubt. Even without his unparalleled martial arts skills, Guo Jing's archery alone would make him a formidable opponent on the battlefield.

The two swift falcons were strung together, both letting out mournful cries, but they did not give up. Instead, they flapped their wings, stirring up gales and sand.

It was the Gale Falcon's powerful skill, 'Sand Hurricane'. Two whirlwinds carrying sand and gravel swept towards the location where Guo Jing and the others were hiding. The grass blades swirling around the whirlwinds became as sharp as knives under the amplification of the wind speed.

"What a powerful technique!" Jellyfish Yin Ji exclaimed, raising a hand as white as jade. With a flick of her wrist, the cascading waterfall transformed into a torrent that swept over and directly collided with the whirlwind whipped by the Gale Falcon.

Wind and water collide in mid-air, tearing and shredding each other.

At this moment, the weakness of the phantom beast skill was revealed. It had high burst damage and high damage in a short period of time, but lacked follow-up pursuit and replenishment. The instant the two attack forces collided, Jellyfish Yin Ji waved her sleeve and turned the shattered water waves in the air into sharp water swords, which shot towards the two Gale Falcons at the same time.

The water sword was aimed at the wings of the two Gale Falcons, and soon their wings were covered in blood, rendering them unable to unleash any more powerful attacks.

The male Gale Falcon, strung behind, fiercely poked its head out, and golden light began to gather in its beak.

"Don't let it be used!" Cha Nan immediately warned.

Huang Rong swung her hand and threw the stick in her hand. The long stick went straight into the throat of the male Gale Falcon and blocked the 'Palu Beam' that was about to hit its throat.

With a loud bang, the male swift falcon's belly burst open, and it died instantly.

"Leave one alive!" Cha Nan warned immediately, fearing that the powerful men might kill the remaining Gale Falcon as well.

The water and clouds stirred up by the jellyfish Yin Ji paused, turning into a light drizzle. With a wave of her sleeve, the rain scattered into the mountains and forests. Her ability to control water and turn clouds into rain was almost like that of a deity.

Guo Jing stopped attacking, and Cha Nan summoned his hunting wolf, sending it forward to tear at the remaining Swift Falcon, continuing to whittle down its health.

The remaining female swift falcon seemed to have given up resisting as well, turning her head to look at the male swift falcon's corpse, her eyes devoid of light, like a wife in a tokusatsu movie being humiliated in front of her husband's shrine.

After grinding the female Swift Falcon's blood to a dangerous level, Chanan then took out the Palu Ball and demonstrated it.

The success rate is 10%.

It's cheap, but worth a try!
Cha Nan threw the first Palu ball, which bounced away without any mercy. These bounced Palu balls can be retrieved if found.

If a Paluk fails to be captured, it will simply shatter, with no possibility or value in its recovery.

At Chanan's signal, the wolf hunter went to find the bounced Palu ball, and Chanan then went around behind the female Swift Falcon and threw another Palu ball.

The success rate was a little higher, but the capture still failed in the end, and the Paru Ball disappeared.

Cha Nan threw two more balls, but failed again.

At this moment, Cha Nan began to feel heartache.

Although taking over the mining area means that low-level Palo Albums are no longer scarce, Chanan still has a limited number of Palo Albums at the moment.

Finally, fate smiled upon us, and after using up the sixth Palu Ball, the capture was finally successful.

This also means that Cha Nan has finally obtained a flying mount.

I just don't know if the Gale Falcon and the Wolf Hunter can be ridden without unlocking riding items, but without any special bonuses.

With one swift falcon dead and the other captured, Chanan was in high spirits after obtaining the mining rights for the Palu open-pit mine.

The group climbed to the top of the cliff and saw two Palu eggs inside the giant bird's nest.

Huang Rong's eyes immediately dimmed, and she said with a sense of sympathy, "They originally lived here carefree, but we killed them for our own benefit."

She wasn't originally this sentimental, but she happened to have a child, and the situation she was facing now seemed similar to that of the two Gale Falcons before her. Rather than saying she was grieving for the Gale Falcons, it would be more accurate to say she was grieving for herself.

Cha Nan said, "This is not a Gale Falcon's egg. Gale Falcons are a very vicious magical beast. They steal the eggs or cubs of other magical beasts, raise them, and then eat them."

Huang Rong immediately wiped the sadness off her face, and the words of comfort that Guo Jing and Shui Mu Yin Ji were about to say were also swallowed back.

The atmosphere is completely gone!

Cha Nan happily put away the two Palu eggs.

Regardless of what kind of mythical beast egg it is, since there's no incubator right now, I'll just take it back to nourish my body.

"Uncle Guo! Please help me pry out all those exposed Yuanqi stones on the cliff face below!" Cha Nan turned to Guo Jing and said.

Where there are open-pit mines, digging deeper will surely yield more ore, but that's something to be mined slowly in the future. For now, it's best to secure the existing open-pit ore and prevent it from constantly emitting strong Yuan Qi fluctuations that could attract other powerful phantom beasts to come and take over the territory.

Guo Jing nodded, stood on the cliff top, looked down, and then jumped off.

While he was in mid-air, he spun around like a top, each palm strike creating a powerful whirlwind, like a dragon spinning and tearing at something beneath a waterfall.

When he landed, at least several hundred pieces of Paru ore scattered from his arms, piling up on the ground and emitting a dazzling blue light.

Many remnants remained on the cliff face where the waterfall cascaded, but even after Guo Jing struck them, he only managed to remove less than one-tenth.
