Suddenly, a few sharp cries jolted Yu Ziyu awake.
Looking up, he saw eight small droplets of essence at the cut of a branch fall into the mouths of eight peregrine falcons.
"Chirp chirp chirp chirp..."
The piercing and shrill cries made the eight falcons tremble slightly.
Immediately, their bodies rapidly grew.
Originally about the size of a fist, they now reached the size of pigeons.
Most strikingly, their beaks had curved into the shape of an eagle's hooked bill, looking extremely aggressive with a faint glint of cold sharpness.
Their claws had split into multiple segments.
"Scrape..."
A gentle dragging sound caused the entire nest to break apart due to their claws.
However, at this moment, no one paid attention to the nest.
Because the eight peregrine falcons had already spread their wings.
"Boom..."
Their long, sharp wings trembled slightly, stirring up a windstorm.
Then, in the blink of an eye, all eight falcons vanished from Yu Ziyu's sight.
"No way, that fast?"
Watching the eight peregrine falcons shoot out like bullets and turn into tiny black dots in the distance, Yu Ziyu could not help but show a stunned expression.
Fast—
Really too fast.
Ordinarily, peregrine falcons fly horizontally at speeds between 60 to 100 km/h.
Only when diving at a 45-degree angle can their speed reach 386 km/h.
But now, these mutated peregrine falcons had a horizontal flying speed already reaching one to two hundred km/h.
What kind of joke was this?
If that was true, then their dive...
Suddenly, Yu Ziyu's heart jolted, as if he'd realized something.
At that moment,
"Screech, screech"
Like an eagle's cry, the sound pierced through with extreme sharpness, as if iron and metal were clashing—enough to pierce the eardrum.
Right at the instant of the cry,
"Boom, boom, boom..."
Eight streaks of light rushed in from the horizon.
Fast.
Unbelievably fast.
Even with Yu Ziyu's sharp dynamic perception, he only caught fleeting shadows.
Then,
"Bang, bang, bang..."
Not far from Yu Ziyu, a giant rock suddenly trembled.
To Yu Ziyu's astonishment, eight fist-sized holes appeared on the rock.
Through the holes, Yu Ziyu could even see the night sky behind.
Penetrated.
A three-meter-wide giant rock was completely pierced through.
This kind of penetration power could probably pierce through over ten centimeters of steel plate.
"Screech, screech"
A few more cries came from behind the rock, as several peregrine falcons staggered out, shaking off dust from their bodies.
They looked somewhat exhausted.
"These little guys."
Yu Ziyu looked at them affectionately and extended eight branches.
Seeing the branches, the peregrine falcons let out joyful cries.
Then, familiar and comfortable, they perched in the middle of the branches, enjoying Yu Ziyu's gentle strokes.
At that moment, Yu Ziyu noticed the status panels above the falcons' heads.
[Species: Mutated Peregrine Falcon
Lifespan: 0.2 / 20 years
Rank: Entry Stage, Level 3
Innate Talent: Bullet Dive — transcendent speed granting unparalleled penetration power capable of tearing through any defense. (Note: The side effect is terrifying; if not careful, their bodies may turn to dust before tearing through enemies due to the stress of the speed burst.)
Special Ability: None]
Terrifying, especially their innate talent, which seemed like a last-ditch, life-risking move.
After a brief evaluation, Yu Ziyu's gaze grew serious.
Regardless of anything else, that sudden innate talent alone made these falcons extraordinarily precious.
Perhaps it was because of the life essence, or maybe it was the peregrine falcon's species talent.
Either way, these falcons' status rose sharply in Yu Ziyu's heart, even rivaling the mutated red fox beside him.
In this extraordinary era, advancing toward transcendence,
these peregrine falcons and that mutated red fox could definitely become his powerful allies.
With these thoughts, Yu Ziyu gently stirred his branches again.
Within a few breaths, thanks to the efforts of dozens of his branches, beneath the canopy of leaves at the treetop, a massive bird's nest the size of a basin was woven together.
This was the bird's nest Yu Ziyu made for the eight peregrine falcons.
Birds yearn for their nests.
With this nest here, Yu Ziyu believed their bond would grow even closer.
As for the red fox...
Thinking of this, the black tree roots, like giant snakes, stirred once more.
"Rumble rumble..."
The earth shook as a dark hole appeared near Yu Ziyu, next to the roots.
"Go."
Yu Ziyu lightly moved the fox's head with his branches and smiled faintly.
The fox lived in the nest.
This root-crafted nest was quite nice.
At least, inside, plenty of roots curled and coiled, enough to keep warm.
Moreover, Yu Ziyu vaguely sensed the air around his roots was slightly richer in some unknown substance.
Probably the roots absorbed that unknown matter.
These beasts likely absorbed the unknown substance from the air, evolving continuously.
If so, this nest he crafted was like a paradise for the red fox,
No reason for it not to like it.
Sure enough,
soon after discovering the nest's benefits, the red fox nestled inside and didn't come out again.
