Ning Shezhen stood under the giant net, staring at the black dot hovering in the sky.
It was an eagle.
This giant net was more than ten feet in length and width, and it was not dense. In the middle of it was a struggling rooster.
The chicken was extremely majestic, and it was still struggling up and down despite being tied up. It looked unwilling as if it wanted to break free. Chicken feathers fell one after another. Ning Shezhen, who was standing under the net, looked up at the sky.
He was small and skinny, but his eyes were bright and his lips were tightly pursed. He was extremely determined. His clothes were ragged, and the straw sandals on his feet could barely cover the instep.
His thin body was really out of place for his seventeen years of age. His muscles tensed up and he was very nervous.
He kept looking at the eagle hovering in the sky. He could still hear the laughter not far away.
Not far away, Li Yue, the daughter of Li Mingkai, looked at Ning Shezhen with a cruel and angry expression. She said in a clear voice,""This reckless brat actually dared to mock Big Brother Helian. He really doesn't know what's good for him!”
Helian Ying's eyes were cold, but she smiled and said,""This little brother is a newborn calf. It's reasonable for him to dare to say and do. There were countless capable people here, so it was hard to tell if this kid was in person.”After saying that, he pretended to laugh heartily.
Helian Ying was the second son of the owner of the neighboring ranch. The relationship between the two ranches had always been good.
Helian Ying and Li Yue were both talented and good-looking people who had been married many times by their parents.
The two of them also tacitly agreed to this relationship.
But today, Li Yue just wanted to avenge Helian Ying, who had lost face.
On the other hand, Helian Ying suggested that Ning Shezhen catch an eagle to make up for his mistake.
Li Yue naturally agreed, and Li Mingkai did not refuse.
Li Mingkai looked at Ning Shezhen and said with a playful smile,""This kid has never caught an eagle before. Let him have a taste of his own medicine.”
Li Yue coquettishly said," Father, you're so petty. He's just a little servant. I hope that he'll be killed by that eagle!"”
Li Mingkai couldn't help but lower his voice and say,"Yue 'er, don't be rude." After all, he was still alive. He only offended you, so he shouldn't be sentenced to death. You have lost your manners by being so calculative.”
" Uncle is right," Helian Ying said." As long as he can turn over a new leaf, I'll spare him. Hmm, Yue 'er?"”
Li Yue glared at him and said,"You're the only one who's soft-hearted. They bullied you, but you're pleading for them instead."”
Helian Ying put on an expression of an adult forgiving a small person and laughed out loud. The corner of his eyes was as cold as a wolf's.
When grassland people trained eagles, they usually had to first catch the eagle and then train it with various methods. In the old forest of the northeast, there was an old saying called "Endure the eagle".
Even Li Mingkai didn't expect that he would attract an eagle instead of an eagle. But at this moment, the eagle was in the air, the chicken was in the net, and Ning Shezhen was under the net. There was no turning back.
The condors on the grasslands were birds of prey that flew faster and fiercer than eagles. Not to mention Ning Shezhen, even an expert eagle hunter would most likely fail.
"Look, that eagle finally couldn't resist the temptation!" Helian Ying shouted.”
In the air, the black dot suddenly grew bigger and fell like a heavy iron. The strong condor swooped down at a high speed, and the sound of the wind was heard as it rushed straight towards the struggling rooster!
Li Mingkai and the other two were shocked. Li Yue covered her cherry lips in fear!
Helian Ying's legs were trembling!
The eagle's wings were more than ten feet long, and its body was covered in golden feathers mixed with black fur. Its eyes were like stars, shining brightly. The steel claw was like a hook. Although it was made of cuticle, it shone with a metallic color. At this moment, it pounced down like a small mountain.
Only Li Mingkai was slightly calm, but he also exclaimed,"What a big eagle!" He was about to warn Ning Shezhen to be careful, but it was already too late.
In the blink of an eye, the condor had already arrived on the ground. It reached out with its steel claws and grabbed at the frightened struggling rooster!
No matter how strong the rooster was, it was still a chicken. It was already scared out of its wits when it saw the big condor. At this moment, it flapped its wings, and its feathers fell like snow. In its panic, chicken droppings also came out and landed on Ning Shezhen's face under the net.
However, he couldn't care less about this. He looked at the real thing and stretched out his hand to reach for the rope net and grabbed the eagle's foot!
The big condor stabbed hard, and with a whoosh, the big condor spread its wings and flew up!
Ning Shezhen didn't dare to relax. He grabbed the eagle's feet tightly. He knew that if he couldn't catch the eagle, Li Yue and Helian Ying would never let him go.
However, this big eagle was really fierce. It struggled to pull the rope net tied between the trees and the big rocks until it gradually swayed and loosened.
Ning Shezhen was shocked and couldn't help but reach out his other hand. This time, both hands grabbed a eagle foot.
The condor did not expect someone to be so desperate. It flapped its wings and soared into the sky!
With a " pa " sound, the string of the rope net was broken, and Ning Shezhen's entire body shot out from the net! He soared into the sky with the condor!
The condor also noticed that something was wrong. It lowered its head and was surprised to see Ning Shezhen. It loosened its claws and the rooster landed on the ground. Ning Shezhen was already in the air! On the ground, Li Mingkai and the others were dumbfounded.
What a huge eagle!
What a brave eagle!
Ning Shezhen quickly noticed something strange. He lowered his head and saw that all the mountains and rivers were beneath him!
This was no small matter. He looked up at the condor in terror. When the condor flapped its wings, it was three meters wide. Its feathers were black and shiny, and its bones were like steel. At this moment, the steel claws on Ning Shezhen's wrist were shining brightly. It was as if two steel hoops were wrapped around Ning Shezhen's wrist, tearing open his skin and flesh! However, Ning Shezhen didn't care about this. She closed her eyes tightly and tears streamed down her face. She didn't dare to look down for even a moment.
Although the condor was unusually strong, Ning Shezhen was still a seventeen-year-old youth after all. He couldn't be compared to wild chickens or rabbits. The condor dragged on for a while, as if it was considering something. At this moment, it finally decided to abandon the prey under its claws and look for something delicious.
Hence, the claw loosened its grip on the steel claw!
Ning Shezhen suddenly felt his wrist lighten. This shock was no small matter. He couldn't help but grab the eagle's foot tightly with both hands. Blood flowed down, but he definitely wouldn't let go!
At this moment, the force exerted and the force received were completely reversed.
At this moment, his life was on the line, and all the strength in his body was concentrated on his wrist. Like an iron hoop, it clung to the eagle's feet.
The condor quickly realized that its prey was extremely strange this time. It was not under its control. It lowered its head slightly and met Ning Shezhen's desperate and determined gaze. Ning Shezhen looked at the pair of cold eyes that pierced straight into one's heart and shuddered. I can't let go!
The condor was a little angry. It struggled with its legs as if it wanted to break free from Ning Shezhen's grip. However, Ning Shezhen's strength was limited, and the condor was in the sky, so it couldn't use its full strength. Its legs weren't as long as Ning Shezhen's arms, so the condor's struggle was completely useless.
The condor was furious. It flapped its wings fiercely, and its iron-like wings slapped Ning Shezhen's body. The pain was unbearable, but Ning Shezhen gritted his teeth and held on!
He could not let go. He had to endure the pain. He could not die!
The condor patted a few more times, but Ning Shezhen remained unmoved. The eagle lost its balance in the air and stopped attacking Ning Shezhen. He continued to fly, as if he was thinking about how to get rid of this clingy prey.
Ning Shezhen closed his eyes tightly. There was only one thought in his mind. I can't let go!
He lowered his head and saw the mountain and river below him. He could not see them clearly. The feeling of being in the sky made him extremely frightened. He could not help but close his eyes again.
He thought about the cause and effect of this matter.
His family had been poor since he was young. In his vague memories, there were two older boys and an older girl who called him younger brother, and two younger boys and two younger girls who called him older brother. When he was five years old, because his mother was seriously ill, he used up all the savings in the family. However, the illness could not be cured. In order to raise medical expenses, his father had no choice but to coax the children who were born but could not raise them into the streets. In the end, Li Mingkai chose Ning Shezhen and bought him for three taels of silver. After that, there was no news from his relatives.
Ning Shezhen was stubborn and smart. She could do all the work on the ranch, such as watering the horses, mowing the grass, cutting the grass, and so on. When she was seventeen, she even learned to read from a poor scholar on the ranch.
That day, Helian Ying tried to catch an eagle in order to show off in front of Li Yue. Unexpectedly, this difficult action not only made him, a pampered young master, unable to catch the eagle, but also injured him. At that time, Ning Shezhen was tying up pheasants to lure eagles and saw this.
First, Li Yue didn't want her lover to lose face in front of the servants. Second, in order to please Helian Ying, in a fit of anger, she falsely accused Ning Shezhen of mocking her!
Li Mingkai was so excited that he let Ning Shezhen catch the eagle. Ning Shezhen had never done such a thing before. Although he was nervous, he was unwilling to admit defeat. He could only stand under the net and was brought into the air by this huge eagle that he had never seen before!
After flying for an unknown amount of time, the big eagle suddenly acted up again. It started to circle in the sky. Ning Shezhen's small body kept spinning as it circled. After a few circles, he started to feel dizzy. However, he still held on tightly to the eagle's foot!
Although this big eagle was strong, it was not willing to fly with a person for no reason. However, it could not throw the prey down on the ground like other prey and slowly use it. Now, it no longer wanted to use its steel claws to cut open the prey's stomach. It only wanted to think about how to get rid of this clingy prey.
The big condor circled around and around, making Ning Shezhen dizzy. His stomach churned, and he spat out a mouthful of turbid matter, but he still didn't dare to let go.
Suddenly, the condor's entire body flipped over, legs up and back down. Ning Shezhen's body involuntarily bumped into the condor's warm and hard abdomen. Before he could stabilize himself, he suddenly fell back down and returned to his original position.
The condor kept flipping in the air. Ning Shezhen's body hit the belly of the condor and was thrown down again. His chest hurt and his stomach churned even more. He even vomited his gall bladder. But he did not let go.
The condor had no choice. It suddenly saw a mountain in front of it and flapped its wings to fly away!
Ning Shezhen had just woken up from the dizziness of spinning around. He suddenly saw the mountain and immediately understood what the eagle meant. His eyes widened in shock as he saw that he was about to fly across the dense trees on the top of the mountain! Under this slash, his life might not be a big deal, but the pain of the flesh was unavoidable. Ning Shezhen was terrified. The trees on this mountain were more than ten zhang tall, and he gave up on the idea of jumping down to escape. He saw the branches of the trees coming over.
Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!
The clothes on Ning Shezhen's legs were all torn by the tree branch. The remaining cloth on his legs flew up and down, and blood flowed out. Ning Shezhen gritted his teeth and endured the pain, his hands still tightly gripping the eagle's feet. The eagle feet tightened around his wrist.
The condor circled around the treetops on the mountaintop. Ning Shezhen's clothes were torn at the waist, and he was almost naked. He was also hung by the branches and was badly mutilated. Not a single piece of his skin was intact.
The big eagle circled a few times, but Ning Shezhen's tenacity finally exhausted it. Only then did it bring Ning Shezhen and fly away.
This was a battle between a man and a bird. The man refused to be killed by the eagle, and the eagle refused to admit that its strong body was helpless against its prey. Therefore, the two were in a stalemate and flew over thousands of rivers and mountains.
It was dark, and the eagles were flying!
It was dawn, and the eagles were flying!
The temperature gradually warmed up, but Ning Shezhen almost fainted. The large amount of blood loss on his leg made him dizzy. He only had one hand that subconsciously grabbed the eagle foot tightly, unwilling to admit defeat easily. He had been flying in the air with the condor for more than ten hours. He was hungry and tired. He did not know how long he could last.
The condor had not eaten anything for more than ten hours with Ning Shezhen. It originally wanted to lower its head to peck at Ning Shezhen, but the distance between its neck and its feet was too long. Its sharp beak could not touch the prey on its feet, so it gave up. It had used up all the methods it could think of to get rid of its prey, but the tenacity of its prey was beyond its expectations. It flew with its prey for an unknown period of time, and even its steel bones were exhausted.
Finally, the condor decided to compromise. There was a small mountain in front of them, and there was an open space at the foot of the mountain. On top of it was soft green grass. The condor swayed a few times. Ning Shezhen opened his eyes and saw the green grass. His heart moved. The condor had already slowly descended. Ning Shezhen seemed to understand what the condor meant, and his muscles tensed up in disbelief.
Ten feet, five feet, three feet, two feet, one foot!
The condor let out a soft cry, and then its steel-like claws suddenly loosened. Ning Shezhen felt his grip loosen, and when he looked down, his toes were almost touching the ground. He quickly let go and fell down.
Ning Shezhen nervously looked at the condor that had soared into the sky again, then looked around, imagining how to hide to the side to avoid another attack from the condor. However, after circling in the sky for a moment, the condor let out a few long cries and actually flew away.
Ning Shezhen narrowly escaped death. Seeing the condor fly away, he knew that the condor would not harm him anymore. His heart relaxed, and he collapsed on the ground, sleeping soundly.
Ning Shezhen was tired and sleepy. Seeing that the eagle had flown far away, he felt relieved and fell asleep. He forgot all his fatigue and hunger. He didn't know when he would sleep.
After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly smelled blood and heard a low roar. When he opened his eyes, he couldn't help but be scared out of his wits. Beside him, less than five steps away, there was a huge white tiger standing upright!
Ning Shezhen stared at the tiger with his mouth agape. He didn't dare to move and only swallowed a mouthful of saliva. At this moment, the giant tiger howled a few more times. The giant tiger was about three meters long and half the height of a human. Its muscles were strong and powerful, and its limbs were strong. A long tail was moving behind its buttocks.
Ning Shezhen's mind was filled with thoughts, but none of them could save his life. Seeing that he didn't move, the giant tiger took another step forward. The two of them looked at each other. Ning Shezhen saw the blood flowing down from the corner of the tiger's mouth, and the stench was extremely pungent. Lowering his eyes slightly, Ning Shezhen saw that there were not many clothes left on his body. His flesh was a mess, and there were faint black scabs easily forming on his body. It was so heavy that it was shocking to see blood vessels hanging on his wounds. His entire body was blood red. The tiger didn't know what this seriously injured person was, so it didn't bite him. However, the smell of blood had already aroused its excitement. It was only a matter of time before it bit him.
Suddenly, the giant tiger raised its head and opened its mouth wide. It let out a roar, and its sharp teeth glistened under the sunlight. Ning Shezhen knew that the giant tiger had decided to eat him. Seeing this, he turned around and miraculously stood up. He ran towards the forest at the side, and a gust of wind blew behind him. The giant tiger had already pounced over, and its forelimbs were on Ning Shezhen's shoulders. A huge force pressed down, and Ning Shezhen immediately fell to the ground. He could almost feel the sharp teeth of the giant tiger behind his head!
Ning Shezhen wanted to live. At the critical moment, he did a roll without any regard for his own safety. He felt a sharp pain in his shoulder as the tiger's sharp claws scratched him. He endured the pain and rolled to the side, temporarily leaving the tiger's front limbs. He did a few more nimble rolls, and the tiger followed behind unhurriedly. Its claws would occasionally touch Ning Shezhen's body, but Ning Shezhen would stubbornly push them away. Ning Shezhen kept rolling around, but there was nothing he could avoid.
At this moment, a loud laugh rang out." Good tiger, good luck! You haven't eaten human flesh for a long time. Today, I'll give you a taste of meat!" Good luck!"
