Chapter 326: Contract, Golden Condor

In the Land of Inheritance.

“Master!”

1000 meters above ground was the Eagle Peak that looked like a sitting Buddha.

Yan Qing stood there, and the tattoo beneath his green outfit had changed, resembling the surroundings. A Golden Condor stood next to him.

It was an extremely handsome Golden Condor. In the sunlight, its feathers shone brightly, as if they were made of real gold.

The condor stood over two meters tall, and under its thick feathers that were of various shades of gold, its claws were as thick as human arms. Its sharp talons dug into the rocks beneath, enabling it to stand very still in the formidable wind on the Eagle Peak.

“Well, is that the one?”

Standing on his white Dragon Aura in midair, Ji Ye looked down at the Golden Condor. Its golden eyes had an alarmed and arrogant look in them.

“Aye!

“It has reached Extraordinary Rank-5 and is evaluated at the Quasi-Commander level. No other Golden Condor is its match in one-on-one battles!”

Yan Qing nodded.

These Golden Condors were hatched from the dozen or so eggs left behind by the Eagle Man settlement. They could reach Ordinary Rank-9 under the most common circumstances.

With all the special resources provided by the Twin Dragon Mount, over half of the birds had activated their extraordinary power and entered the Extraordinary stage. This Golden Condor in particular was one of the most outstanding ones and had the potential to become the leader of all the Golden Condors!

“Alright. We’ll choose this one then!”

Ji Ye nodded.

Extraordinary Golden Condors were exceedingly powerful. Their bones were as hard as steel, and their wingspans were over 5m, enabling them to carry someone on their backs while flying. With some elite warriors with long-range attack abilities, they could form an “air force” that the Twin Dragon Island hadn’t had yet.

With some tests and training, they could even have the Golden Condor throwing objects onto the battlefield from up in the air, just like when the Eagle Man trained them to throw “magma balls”.

Of course, they wouldn’t be throwing magma balls this time. Instead, it would be the large bomb that was known as “Flood Dragon Egg”.

An Extraordinary Golden Condor would be more than enough to work as a fighter!

The only problem they might have to face was that they didn’t have much time left before the advancement test.

Unlike the wolves, the Golden Condors were naturally tyrannical and haughty. Apart from Yan Qing, who had been feeding them since they were little, they had remained nonchalant toward all other humans. Moreover, they weren’t suppressed by anything the way the Steelback Blue Wolf was suppressed by the Alpha Wolf’s Mark. It would be extremely difficult to make them master the skill of fighting alongside humans.

If they threw off their back when they were attacked in the sky or dumped the bomb to the Twin Dragon Island’s side, it would be a disaster.

Luckily, Ji Ye had a solution, and that was “Contract”.

The Contract talent dropped by the Eagle Men’s seed of providence had only been used on the Blood Vine Tree that was mutated from the Thousand-Year Tree Demon’s seed.

This Golden Condor that had the potential to become the leader of its peers was going to become the second contracted creature!

Because it had drunk the Forest Monster Wine that could improve its intelligence, this Quasi-Commander Extraordinary Rank-5 Golden Condor was much more clever than regular raptors.

Therefore, it soon understood what Ji Ye wanted.

However, that didn’t mean that it would accept the contract willingly.

“Caw!”

The Golden Condor shrieked, and a defiant look flashed in its bright yellow eyes. Golden light resembling the fighting aura emerged around its body, and when it spread out its wings, they were over six meters wide. Flapping its wings, it raised a gust of wind that could blow stones away and aimed it at Ji Ye, who was still up in the sky.

But the next second, its pupils suddenly contracted, reflecting a human palm that was pressing down at its face.

“Roar!”

Together with the hand came the dragon roar, which made its stomach lurched. The blue wind constantly blowing on the Eagle Peak was suddenly turned into a blue tornado by the invisible True Qi, and it smashed down onto the head of the Golden Condor, who had been throwing itself at Ji Ye from below.

Thump…

The next moment, still wrapped in the golden light, the Golden Condor fell down along the straight cliff wall of the Eagle Peak, plummeting much faster than when it pounced at Ji Ye.

Screech…

The Quasi-Commander Extraordinary Rank-5 Golden Condor struggled desperately; its sharp talons leaving long gashes on the cliff wall of the Eagle Peak.

It frantically flapped its golden wings, cutting off the stones on the cliff, but there was nothing it could do to stop the fall.

Dragon-Subduing Strike: Dragon Flies!

Boom!

The dragon and the condor both fell from the top of the peak to the sea in a split second.

Although the sea was below them, the great impact of falling from hundreds of meters meant that the water would feel as hard as steel.

Crack!

The golden light around the condor instantly dissipated, and the wings that could separate magma made a cracking sound.

“Roar!”

The shape of a black Flood Dragon charged out of the water from beneath the condor, wrapping its long body around the bird and pulling it down into the sea.

What was worth mentioning was that this was exactly the spot where the head of the Eagle Men was dragged down by Ji Ye.

Splash!

The Golden Condor only managed to float back up more than 10 seconds later.

It had lost all its magnificent look. Nearly half of its bones were broken, it had lost quite a few golden feathers, and its blood had slightly tainted the seawater around it.

“Quack!”

The Golden Condor then looked up at Ji Ye, who was standing on the water in front of the bird.

The look in its golden eyes finally turned from arrogance to fear.

However, it soon became an eager look.

Because purple light flashed in Ji Ye’s palm. Something that looked like blood sealed in a block of ice appeared.

[Great Condor’s Blood]

[Level: Special]

[Rarity: Superior]

[Description: Using it could give one the Great Condor Bloodline. There is also a chance of obtaining the Super Eagle Bloodline!]

“Caw!”

Golden Condors were products of the Eagle Man settlement.

Eagle Men were suspected to be the legendary Gold-Winged Eagle from Sandia, and in the Battlefield of Providence, Dugu Qiubai’s Great Condor also had the bloodline of the Great Eagle.

It was obvious that the Golden Condor found the blood very tempting.

Absorbing it would not only heal all its wounds; it might also even enable it to rise to the Commander level and become the real “Commander” of the Golden Condors.

“Quack!”

Seeing that, the last trace in the Golden Condor’s eyes was gone.

Carrot and stick might be an old trick, but it really worked.

Hum!

Sticking out a finger wrapped in the white light of both the Healing and Contract talents, Ji Ye tapped the Golden Condor’s forehead.

The light rapidly healed the condor’s wounds, as well as creating a connection between the two on the level of their souls.

The contract was completed!

“Well, Commander Wu and several others have all gone into seclusion. I’d like to try to make some breakthroughs in the next few days.

“As for the specific training program for this condor and the preparation-related affairs, I’m going to leave them to you, Gongjin, and the others!”

After feeding the Great Condor’s Blood to the Golden Condor, dragon-shaped mist rose from the sea beneath Ji Ye, carrying him and the bird back up onto Eagle Peak. Ji Ye told Yan Qing so once he saw the latter.

Although the Twin Dragon Island had made much preparation, before the settlement decided to start the advancement test early, the message they received in their heads said that the difficulty level might increase considerably, which made Ji Ye a little worried.

Therefore, he decided that he should try to raise his level a bit higher.

Even if he couldn’t make it to the Transcendent level, he would want to become a more advanced Extraordinary Rank-9.

He wasn’t the only one who had been cultivating. People like Wu Song, Lu Zhishen, Yang Zhi, and Lu Junyi, who were all heroes that arrived at the Twin Dragon Island during the Ten-Species Competition period,

had all reached their peak in Extraordinary Rank-8, and they were all concentrating on breaking through to Extraordinary Rank-9 these days.

As for people like Yan Qing, Zhao Yun, and Li Yuanba, since they had only just made the breakthrough to Extraordinary Rank-8, it wouldn’t be very likely for them to make another breakthrough in such a short time.

Together with the newly summoned heroes, they had been working on the war preparation.

It was also a way for the new heroes to get involved in the Twin Dragon Island affairs.

As for the location that Ji Ye had chosen to cultivate in seclusion, it was the Land of Radiation.
