Chapter 62: The Little Golden Eagle Wants to Eat Giles!
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Seeing that Giles, who was bleeding profusely from his left arm, had suddenly collapsed, the Little Golden Eagle hurriedly flapped its wings and flew towards Giles.
However, it was unknown whether it was because its body had become larger after its evolution or because it had two additional eagle claws after its evolution,
or perhaps it was because of both reasons, but the Little Golden Eagle actually couldn’t quite maintain its balance as it flew.
Fortunately, it was less than ten meters away from Giles.
The flying Little Golden Eagle wobbled as it glided over to Giles.
When it landed, the eagle claw tattoo on the back of Giles’ hand suddenly glowed weakly.
The Little Golden Eagle also sensed the spiritual connection with Giles.
“Sorry…”
After this word rang out in the Little Golden Eagle’s mind, it realized that Giles had completely lost consciousness.
The Little Golden Eagle flapped its wings on the spot and shook its head frantically as it looked around.
It was its first time encountering such a situation and it did not know what to do.
“Little Golden Eagle! What are you planning to do?”
“Giles is our Beast Tamer! You can’t eat him!”
“Everyone, come over quickly! The Little Golden Eagle has become Garuda!”
“…”
After several terrified cries rang out, a few spirit beast cubs surrounded Giles and stopped in front of the Little Golden Eagle.
As they had all fainted earlier, they did not know what had happened between Giles and the Little Golden Eagle.
However, they saw that after Giles fell, the eagle claw tattoo of the Little Golden Eagle was still lit up on the back of his hand.
Coupled with the the Little Golden Eagle’s current appearance, they could not help but think of the story, “Garuda, who wanders the battlefield and continuously devours corpses to strengthen himself”.
They all subconsciously thought that the reason for Giles’ injury and fall was linked to the evolved Little Golden Eagle.
Perhaps the Little Golden Eagle had already forcefully broken its contract with Giles!
Furthermore, the Golden Eagle’s abnormal behavior must be because it had learned Garuda’s ‘Devour’ skill and was planning to eat Giles!
These spirit beast cubs had all contracted with Giles.
If Giles was really eaten by the Little Golden Eagle, they would also be severely injured.
At that time, the Little Golden Eagle might eat all of them!
As the few spirit beast cubs that were the first to react surrounded Giles and started shouting, the other spirit beast cubs who heard this, all suppressed the fear they had for the Garuda in the story and went over to Giles.
“That’s not it, I…”
The Little Golden Eagle was already panicking because Giles had suddenly fainted.
After hearing the opinions of this group of spirit beast cubs, it couldn’t even speak coherently.
In the eyes of the spirit beast cubs, the Little Golden Eagle’s reaction was as if it had been caught red-handed.
Does the Little Golden Eagle really want to eat our Beast Tamer?
The spirit beast cubs simultaneously thought of this and looked at each other in dismay, feeling as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
This group of spirit beast cubs also knew that they were only at the lowest Bronze rank.
There was an insurmountable gap between their strength and that of the Gold-rank Little Golden Eagle.
However, they also knew that if they chose to escape now, there would only be death awaiting them.
It was better to take advantage of the fact that they still had the advantage in numbers and fight to the death to seize that chance of survival!
Although the spirit beast cubs were trembling beside Giles, they all bared their teeth at the Little Golden Eagle, not allowing it to get close to Giles.
As for the little golden eagle, because its thoughts were in a mess, it didn’t know how to explain itself to the spirit beast cubs.
“Enough, enough. Everyone, relax. Don’t be so nervous.”
The Little Fox looked at the Little Golden Eagle and the group of spirit beast cubs resignedly.
Compared to them, the knowledgeable Little Fox was very calm.
She walked over to Giles and her narrowed eyes slowly opened.
The spirit beast cubs saw a faint peach blossom in her eyes.
The peach blossom pattern on the back of Giles’ right hand lit up.
His entire left arm was then enveloped in a ball of pale pink spiritual energy. The blood that was flowing out of the wound was stopped in the blink of an eye.
After confirming that Giles had only fainted temporarily, the Little Fox began to explain the situation to the spirit beast cubs.
“The situation isn’t as outrageous as you imagined. Giles fainted because he was helping the Little Golden Eagle.”
It turned out that although the Little Fox had also fallen into a temporary coma because the Little Golden Eagle had absorbed its spiritual energy, she had regained consciousness very quickly.
As the spirit beast cub that was the nearest to Giles, she had personally witnessed the entire process.
After hearing Giles’ command to the Little Golden Eagle, the Little Fox couldn’t help but admire Giles from the bottom of her heart when she saw how Giles was willing to suffer so much pain to save the Little Golden Eagle from the ‘spiritual energy storm’ caused by the Little Golden Eagle’s evolution getting out of control.
When she was living with her mother, Janice, in the Solomon Mountain Range, she had seen many Beast Tamers who abandoned their spirit beasts and escaped because of the disparity in their strength. Giles was the only Beast Tamer she had seen so far who had taken the initiative to sacrifice for his spirit beast.
Therefore, the Little Fox thanked her mother in her heart, for allowing her to establish a contract with Giles, this responsible Beast Tamer.
After the Little Fox stepped forth and took the initiative to explain for the Little Golden Eagle, the spirit beast cubs roughly understood what had happened after they fainted.
“I didn’t expect that this would be the case in actuality…!”
“I’m sorry, Little Golden Eagle…”
“Yeah, I think we all misunderstood you.”
“…”
After a few spirit beast cubs realized that this was a misunderstanding, they hurriedly apologized to the Little Golden Eagle.
However, there were still a few spirit beast cubs that were clearly still wary of the Little Golden Eagle.
The baring of their teeth was their most direct reaction.
After a few spirit beast cubs apologized, the Little Golden Eagle bowed its head to thank the Little Fox who had helped it to explain.
“Thank you…”
However, before it could finish speaking, it was interrupted by the Little Fox.
“As you can see, I can heal the wound on Giles’ arm. If you want to help, go and find some gauze for me.”
The Little Fox, who was the neutral party, could tell that there were still a few spirit beast cubs that were wary of the Little Golden Eagle.
In the face of this situation, she did not continue to help the Little Golden Eagle explain. Instead, she reminded the Little Golden Eagle to use its actions to prove that it was not hostile.
When the Little Golden Eagle heard that the Little Fox needed gauze to treat the wound on Giles’ arm, it calmed down and began to think.
Recalling that Giles’s room had the gauze that he used to bandage their wounds, the Little Golden Eagle flapped its wings and flew towards Giles’ room.
However, before the Little Golden Eagle could even fly a few meters, it, who had yet to grasp its balance, swayed and fell from the sky like before.
Seeming to think that it was too slow to fly like this, the Little Golden Eagle simply retracted its wings, and started running with its claws while staggering.
Looking at the clumsy and comical running posture of the Little Golden Eagle, the Little Fox sighed helplessly and rubbed its forehead with its tiny paws.
Then, she pointed at the swaying Little Golden Eagle and looked at the group of spirit beast cubs in confusion as she said, “Do you guys really think it poses any danger now in its current state?”
