--- Chapter 95 ---
'Master~, I have brought the bird down for you!' Yuri cheerfully said while gracefully jumping off the tree and landed onto the fainted sky roc.
"Good Job." Yunlong praised with a smile on his face, to which Yuri responded by excitedly wagging her tails.
"Well, at least with this, I know that you were not just lazing around." He naturally continued, making the white fox stared at him with a speechless look.
'Master is a bully!' Yuri swayed her head away, but Yunlong only laughed a little after hearing her tantrum.
Chu Xiaoyu, who saw this, also nodded her head and quietly commented, "Mhm, Yuri is a good cat..."
'I am not a cat, nyaa!!' Yuri furiously complained while giving Chu Xiaoyu a piercing gaze, but it's not even affecting the quiet maid because she only gave her a stoic expression.
Yunlong shook his head and shifted his gaze to the sky roc, which not surprisingly has a pair of dull eyes because of Yuri's spiritual shock.
'Yuri's spiritual attack is strong, but her weakness is weak physical strength.' So Yunlong thought while taking a peek at the white fox, who cleaned her paws, which got dirtied a few seconds ago.
'Well, I can give her something later.' He added while shifting his gaze back to the sky roc
Yunlong turned on his sharingan, which changed his eyes red with three rotating tomoes, but different from the past, his eyes are more crimson now.
He stared straight into the sky roc's eyes and controlled its mind using illusion, turned it into their flying transportation.
"We are good to go now," Yunlong said while turning around and looking at his maids and pet, who responded by nodding their heads at him.
The sky roc suddenly raised its body, but we could see that its eyes had changed into red eyes with three tomoes because of Yunlong's control.
"Let's go," Yunlong instructed, and the sky roc waved its wings a few times.
After taming the big bird, Yunlong and his companions traveled above the clouds toward the heaven dou empire's territory.
"Oh, Isn't this a sky roc? How rare to find one here." Jin Eyu arrived out of nowhere with a curious smile on his senile face.
"Oh, you finally caught up, old man." Yunlong looked at Jin Eyu, who casually flew beside them with a matched speed.
The sky roc possessed an incredible speed, with a few flaps of its wings, they could travel hundreds of miles, but Jin Eyu could easily match this speed while casually commenting about this bird rarity.
'Well, you underestimated hyper douluo's ability, brat.' Jin Eyu telepathically responded to his remark and casually shrugged off of his shoulders.
"Is that so?" Yunlong tapped his hand on the sky roc's head and instructed it to increase its speed, leaving Jin Eyu alone in the white clouds.
Jin Eyu calmly shook his head and looked at the sky roc with a slight smirk on his face. "It's a hundred years too soon if you want to leave me in the dust." He said while fastly moving toward them.
Jin Eyu once again arrived beside them and looked at Yunlong with a smug expression. "Miss me?" He teased.
"Nope." Yunlong flatly replied and instructed the sky roc to used one of its ability, which is [Sky Dominator]
A translucent windshield immediately covered them, and Yunlong cheerfully smiled at Jin Eyu. "Goodbye..!" He said while waving his left hand.
BOOM!
They moved forward and left a powerful shockwave behind them, causing Jin Eyu to be speechless because Yunlong purposely left the shockwave to hit his face.
"That brat..." Jin Eyu said while twitching his mouth in annoyance.
Meanwhile, a few kilometers away from Jin Eyu, Yunlong and his companion have entered the star dou forest's territory, which is the fastest route to the heaven dou empire.
"Okay, you can slow down a little bit now," Yunlong calmly said, to which the sky roc responded with a nod and gently slowed down its flying speed.
'Show me the greed counter.' Yunlong suddenly thought, and a system panel appeared in the air, which showed him how much the greed counter he had after he acquired his ego first form.
[Current Greed Counter: 42,000/100,000]
'Greed, your counter sure is greedy, huh.' Yunlong commented while looking at the black ring on his finger, which suddenly glowed with purple light.
'What do you mean, boss? You are the one who named me like that.' Greed responded with a calm tone, which somehow put a smile on his face.
'It's been a while since I used your first form, right?' Yunlong responded by raising his left hand, and a wavy long black bow with a cross in the middle appeared in his grasp.
The sky roc suddenly released a cry, which made Yunlong tilted his head because a group of black dots suddenly appeared on the horizon and quickly flew toward them.
[Name: Steel-Winged Hawk]
[Type: Flying Spirit Beast]
[Cultivation Age: 3,000-10,000 years old]
[Innate Ability: Brave Bird, Steel Strike]
"What a convenient timing," Yunlong commented with a smile on his face.
'Greed, what is our hunting record?' he suddenly asked his ego, which seemed to be in a great mood.
'Sixty-Eight in a row.' Greed exclaimed with a somewhat playful tone.
'Heh, we are going to surpass that today.' Yunlong took a string out of his clothes, which was actually a copy of his martial soul.
He turned the string into a golden arrow-like spear and gently placed it on the bow.
"Young master..?" Chu Xiaoyu tilted her head and curiously looked at her master's action.
The other girls also looked at him in confusion, but Yunlong only placed his finger on the lips and said, "Just enjoy the show."
The maids are obediently nodding their heads and intently looking at his movement.
[You have acquired a quest after performing a specific action]
[Quest: Bow Hunting]
[Objective: Kill 100 preys]
[Rewards: 75,000 SP and a random skill]
Yunlong smirked a little and suddenly pulled the bowstring to its half limit, which should be more than enough to deal with those steel-winged hawks.
[Mirage Dragon Strike: Hunting One Hundred Heads]
He released a breath and released his fingers away from the bowstring, launching an arrow like a golden dragon toward the horizon, which scattered into a mass of golden rays.
The steel-winged hawks couldn't even react as golden rays destroyed their heads, leaving headless bodies that fell from the skies, but when it touched the ground, they got burned into a cloud of dust.
'No spirit bone, huh.' Yunlong thought while closing his eyes, waiting for the incoming system notifications.
[You have killed one steel-winged hawk]
[You have...]
[...]
[Mortal Sin Gluttony Activated]
[You have devoured a bunch of steel-winged hawks' soul, spirit, and spiritual energy]
[You have gained a lot of similar skills]
[Auto-Fusion Function Activated]
[You have acquired [Aerial Ace] and [Steel Enhancement] Skills]
"As always, your technique is absurd." Jin Eyu commented while approaching them from behind.
Yunlong only smiled at him and didn't respond as another system panel appeared in front of him.
[Objective: 103/100]
[You have completed the quest]
[Rewarding: 75,000 Sp and [Predator Eyes] Skills]
"Let's continue," Yunlong said, and they flew away toward the horizon.
After a few hours of journey, they finally arrived at the soutuo city, where they decided to rest.
"Stop here," Yunlong instructed, and the sky roc stopped directly above the city.
He flicked a golden string into the city and took the sky roc into his unique spatial ring, which made them free-falling from the skies, but none of them panicked.
Yunlong used his teleportation technique, and all of them, excluding Jin Eyu, appeared inside a black alley.
"Let's check for the spirit hall branch in here," Yunlong said, to which his maids responded with a nod.
They slowly walked toward the city center, but unknown to them. Later, they would meet someone there.
