Chapter 490: The Tamer Controls Wyverns

[A/N: We are just a few more golden tickets away from reaching another milestone!!]

Xu Meiyi was thinking of capturing a hawk once more and controlling it, but there is no way a hawk would be caught that easily. When they were in the Imperial Capital various birds and beasts were sold in the market. Therefore birds of prey such as eagles, hawks, and falcons were also occasionally sold, and if they had asked the merchants they dealt with in advance, they would have been prepared from somewhere and delivered. The organization called the Empire is something impressive, and most beasts could be obtained.

However in a situation far away from the Imperial Capital, capturing a wild hawk itself is difficult. Humans are not prey for hawks, so they do not approach. Capturing alive something that does not approach is impossible no matter that they are Heroes. Therefore, since beasts that move on the ground can be easily captured, the Heroes are thinking of controlling wolves and having them go see the Kingdom’s Heroes.

After one night passed, Zhu Biao and the others were advancing in the direction where the Kingdom’s Heroes that Xu Meiyi’s hawk found yesterday were. However since it is "the direction where the Kingdom’s Heroes were yesterday," if the Kingdom’s Heroes are moving there is a possibility of deviation. Even so, since they do not know where the Kingdom’s Heroes’ destination is, they are thinking that for now they have no choice but to search blindly. They are thinking that since wolves form packs, they might control the whole pack. However there is no way a pack of wolves would be found that easily.

While Zhu Biao and the others are walking, a large bird started circling far above their heads.

"It’s a wyvern!?"

One of the knights shouted in a fearful voice. Zhu Biao and the others look up. They do not know how high it is, but anyone can tell it is not flying at a height that can be captured.

"If that comes down we can capture it."

Whether Zhu Biao’s voice was heard, one wyvern started a steep dive. Xu Meiyi of course intends to control it.

"The wyvern is attacking! That eats people!"

One of the attendants shouts in a voice similar to a scream. Panic runs among the attendants. As if lured by that voice, wyverns started steep dives one after another.

"Be careful!"

"Don’t get eaten!"

"If you’re taken away it’s the end!!"

The knights also raise shouts similar to screams one after another.

However the Heroes are waiting with composure.

"Please capture without killing!!"

Xu Meiyi shouts.

"Understood!"

Zhu Biao answers.

"Lord Zhu Biao, how?"

When Li Jing asks,

"It will come down almost to the ground, right? Aim for that time and strike!"

Hearing Zhu Biao’s words Li Jing thought, since Zhu Biao says strike he will really strike.

"Ahaha! Even without doing such a thing, it is fine to hit it with lightning at the place it came down."

Hütter says while laughing.

"I see!! It is fine to wrap lightning on the sword and shower it!"

Li Jing laughs.

The Heroes and Hütter are waiting for the wyverns steep-diving. The wyverns have no way of knowing the strength of humans, so they come down aiming at the place where many humans are gathered. Humans only look like suitable prey. As the wyverns approach the ground so as not to crash into the ground, they slow the descent speed.

"I see. Those guys slow down when they approach in order to grab people!"

Saying that Zhu Biao readies a bow. Li Jing is accumulating mana in the sword.

The moment the wyvern changed posture aiming for the ground, opening the claws of its feet to capture a person, Zhu Biao released an arrow!

The arrow released with a hyu! heads straight for the wyvern and pierces the base of the neck. The wyvern twists its neck but the arrow does not come out, and there a second arrow pierces the chest. And as is in that posture the wyvern fell to the ground with a thud.

The second wyvern was watching the place where the first was shot down, but it can no longer stop the momentum and is steep-diving. And when it tried to change posture the same as the first,

"Lightning!!"

Li Jing swings the sword wrapped in mana toward the wyvern! Mana gushes from the tip of the sword and changes to lightning as it heads toward the wyvern.

"Gyao!!"

When the lightning hits the wyvern glowed. And it fell to the ground! The following wyverns came down aiming at Zhu Biao and Li Jing.

This is a phenomenon perfect for Zhu Biao. When the wyvern came down almost to the ground, faced him and their eyes met, he jumped toward the wyvern! In an instant Zhu Biao reaches in front of the wyvern’s eyes. He punched the wyvern’s cheek with a raised fist! The wyvern’s head flowed as if drawing a thread together with Zhu Biao’s fist, and as is was slammed into the ground head first.

The following wyvern also falls to Li Jing’s lightning. No more wyverns came down. Four wyverns are lying on the ground at death’s door. Are the wyverns in the sky shocked that four were done in? After a while they flew away.

"Honghua! Heal these guys! Keep them alive and have Meiyi control them!"

When Zhu Biao shouts,

"Yes! Understood!!"

Xie Honghua runs to a nearby wyvern. Xu Meiyi also follows after, and beside Xie Honghua healing she casts the control magic. Xu Meiyi’s healing mana and Xie Honghua’s control mana intertwine and permeate into the wyvern. The two feel the response that it is working on the wyvern.

The eyelids of the wyvern that was stretching its neck and dying open, and the eyeballs move and stare at Xu Meiyi. Because the wyvern’s body color is dark brown there is no such thing as the complexion becoming better, but it feels like gloss returned to the body. The wyvern raises its body, folds its wings in front of Xu Meiyi and sits. It stays quiet without any gesture of attacking.

The wyvern that received lightning was in a temporary unconscious state so it returned to normal relatively easily and was controlled by Xu Meiyi. However the wyvern shot by Zhu Biao’s arrow, although the arrow was pulled out, because it hit the throat and chest the healing takes time.

From a distance the knights and attendants are watching Xie Honghua’s healing. A black-haired maiden who can even be described as a girl is placing a hand on the neck of a mountain-like wyvern. She is trying to save the life of a wyvern that can be evaluated as a god of death. The knights and attendants were made to realize that the Heroes’ actions cannot be measured by common sense. And they were thinking that if this wyvern is not saved and dies, wyvern meat can be eaten at tonight’s meal. It is transmitted that wyvern meat has a special taste, but what is it after all?

Unfortunately, at that day’s dinner wyvern meat was not served.
