Logging back into the game, Lince stared at the giant eagle cowering on the ground, its eyes filled with terror. His expression eased slightly.

When he logged off before, the game time was synchronized with real-world time because it was the server launch period, so he had only been gone for a little over an hour.

Cooking was actually quite troublesome. Even though it was just two dishes, it was still a bit time-consuming for Lince, who didn’t cook often.

But eating takeout all the time wasn’t good.

So, even though Lince rarely cooked, he still made a meal for himself two or three times a week.

During that hour-plus, the Giant Dragon simply lay in the forest with its eyes closed, as if resting. (Logging off doesn’t consume in-game time.)

But during this whole time, the Shadow Wind Giant Eagle hadn’t dared to move a muscle, even though it was already bound by the Blood Covenant.

As for the Unihorned Demon Bear, that fellow was much more casual.

While the Rock Steel Giant rested, this guy sat to the side, picking at its big feet as if searching for bugs.

It even kept winking and making faces at the giant eagle, a clear look of schadenfreude on its face.

The Shadow Wind Giant Eagle seethed with hatred for the Unihorned Demon Bear, yet at the same time, it was utterly terrified.

As a giant eagle that had lived for over five hundred years, its knowledge and even its wisdom far surpassed that of the Unihorned Demon Bear.

’A Sub-dragon?’

’How could one appear in the outer Demon Beast Mountain Range?’

’Could this be the descendant of some Overlord Level Sub-dragon that snuck out from the depths of the Demon Beast Mountain Range?’

’And of all the rotten luck, it just had to come to my territory.’

’But why would it accept the allegiance of a young, stupid bear? It makes no sense at all!’

’And to make matters worse, this growing Sub-dragon actually listened to that stupid bear’s slander and came looking for trouble with me?!’

’It’s not going to eat me for a snack, is it?!’

The mere thought of this terrified the giant eagle.

Even though Lince had previously agreed not to kill it and they had even formed a spiritual Master-Servant Contract, it was still a master-servant relationship. If it wasn’t careful enough in its service later, it might still face death.

’As for fighting this young Sub-dragon?’

’Me???’

’The other party is Tier Five, after all! Dragon Species are invincible among their peers. Even some powerful Sub-dragons belong to a superior race, capable of challenging Strong Persons from other races a whole tier higher.’

’It’s a Sub-dragon. What could I possibly fight it with? My head?’

’Besides, even if I could win, would I survive?’

’If an Overlord Level Sub-dragon got angry, there would be no place for me to hide in the entire Demon Beast Mountain Range.’

So, it was no wonder it had surrendered at the speed of light.

At this moment, the giant eagle absolutely loathed the Unihorned Demon Bear.

’If I survive this, I must go to the mountain peak and report the Unihorned Demon Bear to the Quasi-Overlord Level Demon Lord.’

’I’ve even thought of the crime: the Demon Bear lured away a young Sub-dragon. That charge is enough to get the Unihorned Demon Bear killed many times over.’

’But that’s all on the premise that I survive!’

Seeing the Giant Dragon, who had suddenly declared it was tired and needed to rest right after forming the contract, the giant eagle’s mood hit rock bottom.

’Can’t this Sub-dragon hatchling be a little more reliable?!’

’Why did it capture me? What is it going to do to me?’

The trembling giant eagle, prostrated on the ground, felt every minute stretch into a year. It didn’t dare to move, terrified of waking the other party and being devoured in one bite by the moody Sub-dragon hatchling.

Just as the giant eagle was reaching the peak of its fear, Lince finally logged on.

As the Giant Dragon’s pupils opened to meet its gaze, the giant eagle’s body suddenly trembled once more.

Seeing the utterly terrified giant eagle, Lince couldn’t help but feel a little amused.

’The status of a Dragon Species really has a miraculous effect in the Demon Beast Mountain Range,’ Lince thought, something he had never expected.

As for contracting this giant eagle, to put it plainly, not only was it a rare and usable Tier Five Demon Beast, but it was also a flying type—something his previous three contracted Demon Beasts were not.

Therefore, it had great value for cultivation.

’Land, air, and sea... Now I’m just missing something that swims in the water.’

"That was a good rest."

"Now then, giant eagle, tell me everything you know about the Demon Beast Mountain Range."

Lince didn’t waste any time and got straight to the point.

???

The Shadow Wind Giant Eagle’s eyes showed a moment of confusion.

’The Demon Beast Mountain Range? Everything I know?’

’You don’t know?!’

The giant eagle was puzzled for a moment, but it quickly figured things out.

’This Sub-dragon may seem to be Tier Five, which is indeed very strong for the outer mountain range, but in the end, it’s still just a hatchling.’

’It probably lived under the protection of its High Tier Sub-dragon parents this whole time, so it’s normal for it not to know anything about the outside world.’

’After all, the birth rate of the Dragon Species is incredibly low. Isn’t every newborn hatchling a treasure to the High Tier Sub-dragons?’

’Being so well-protected that it’s clueless about the outside world seems perfectly reasonable, right?’

With this guess in mind, the Shadow Wind Giant Eagle didn’t dare to be slow, and immediately spoke in a fearful tone.

"My Lord, this little eagle doesn’t know much about the depths of the Demon Beast Mountain Range, but as for this outer mountain range, this little eagle knows quite a bit."

"So, what is it that my Lord wishes to know?"

The giant eagle’s words, delivered via Spiritual Transmission, were very organized. It was clearly much smarter than the Unihorned Demon Bear.

Lince wasn’t surprised by this.

After all, this eagle had lived for over five hundred years, nearly three times the Lifespan of the Unihorned Demon Bear.

It was normal for it to have this level of intelligence.

Hearing the giant eagle’s words, Lince had intended to ask about the Quasi-Overlord Level Demon Beast on the mountain peak, but he suddenly remembered his current objective and his limited remaining online time in the game.

So, he immediately said:

"For now, I don’t want to hear about anything else. Just tell me where I can find a Wind Attribute Demon Beast in this mountain range! Preferably near the Wilderness Territory."

"I need to hunt one."

The Shadow Wind Giant Eagle was instantly terrified when it heard this.

’It really does want to eat a Middle Tier Magical Beast? And a Wind Attribute one, specifically? What kind of special appetite is this?’

The Shadow Wind Giant Eagle was terrified, but at the same time, it was grateful that it had submitted so quickly.

’If I had been any slower, wouldn’t I have become a dead eagle?!’

Therefore, without any nonsense, it quickly reported that near the Wilderness, past three Middle Tier Magical Beast territories, there was a Tier Four Wind Attribute Demon Beast.

To save its own life and prove its worth, it even volunteered to hunt that creature for Lince right now if he needed it.

Although among ordinary Middle Tier Magical Beasts, it was generally difficult for one to kill another with only a one-tier difference.

But the giant eagle could fly and was a tier higher than the Tier Four Wind Attribute Demon Beast. As long as it was willing to expend its Magic Power and sustain some minor injuries, it was confident it had a high chance of success.

As for the rule set by the Quasi-Overlord Level Demon Beast on the mountain peak—that Tier Five Lord Level Demon Beasts were not allowed to hunt other Middle Tier beasts and could only drive them away when competing for territory...

The giant eagle directly ignored it.

’Rules depend on who they apply to!’

’Sub-dragons are the Nobility among Demon Beasts, similar to the Royal Family among the Human Race. That rule is completely useless against them.’

’I don’t have to do it myself?’

Lince was very pleased with the giant eagle’s cleverness.

’It’s even better if I don’t have to get my own hands bloody.’

However, to prevent this overly intelligent giant eagle from doing anything foolish, Lince immediately issued a command through the contract.

It must hunt the Tier Four Demon Beast with all its effort and at the fastest possible speed. Afterward, it was to immediately bring back the Demon Core and the heart. The giant eagle was not permitted to do anything extra during this process.

The power of the contract was absolute, so the process went very smoothly.

In less than half an hour, its feathers covered in wounds, the giant eagle brought back what Lince wanted.

Lince was very satisfied with this.

Of course, he didn’t forget to paint a pretty picture for its future.

Finally, Lince used his remaining time to command the giant eagle through the contract, forbidding it from leaving its own territory or revealing its existence, before he started heading back.

However, on the way back, Lince used the special nature of the game’s contract system to have a spiritual dialogue with the giant eagle. He mainly asked about the Quasi-Overlord Level Demon Beast in the outer Demon Beast Mountain Range, but of course, he didn’t pass up the chance to learn what the giant eagle knew about the depths of the mountain range as well.

And so, by the time Lince finally returned to the Swamp Territory and began planning for the next Inference Day, his game time for the day abruptly ended.
