Beauty and the Bodyguard

Although there were risks, it was better than carrying an unconscious Cub. Even if the Cub was not fully developed, it still weighed more than a hundred pounds.

If he took that person with him, not only would he become the ghost-eyed Golden Eagle's target, but his speed would also be greatly reduced and he would definitely die.

However, Lin Yi had his own reasons for doing this. In order to protect Xiao ran and Qiao hongcai, bringing the Cub was the best choice to attract the attention of the ghost-eyed Golden Eagle.

Moreover, the demonic thing had just given him a hint. Once this kind of baby was tamed by humans to become a spiritual pet, it would be completely separated from the group of wild spiritual beasts. If it was discovered by its spiritual beast parents, not only would they not continue to protect and provide for it, but they would also kill it directly.

Because it had been brainwashed and would only listen to its master's orders, it had become an out-and-out alien in the eyes of its parents, and they wanted to get rid of it.

However, Xiao ran and Qiao hongcai didn't know about this. In fact, even if they did, they wouldn't let Lin Yi Do something so dangerous.

Especially Qiao hongcai-if he got Lin Yi killed because of his impulsive actions today, he'd live in regret for the rest of his life.

However, they didn't have the chance to open their mouths anymore. Seeing Lin Yi carrying the unconscious Cub on his back, the ghost-eyed Golden Eagle was enraged. It flapped its wings and a strong wind came down from above.

BOOM! The tree under his feet was already extremely thick and would require at least five people to wrap their arms around it. Even so, it could not withstand the strong wind stirred by the ghost-eyed Golden Eagle. After a loud sound, dozens of giant trees around it were all broken.

Xiao ran and Qiao hongcai lost their balance and fell to the ground. Fortunately, they were both in the early stage of the foundation building realm. Although they were in a sorry state, especially Qiao hongcai, who even vomited a large mouthful of blood because of his injuries, they didn't fall to their deaths.

By the time the two of them finally stabilized themselves in the chaos, Lin Yi was already gone. Even the adult ghost-eyed Golden Eagle was gone.

Qiao hongcai panicked and was about to go find Lin Yi when Xiao ran stopped him,""With your current state, you will only become a burden to boss even if you catch up. Don't worry, boss never does anything he's not confident in. If he dares to do this, he must have his own way."

"But we can't just leave boss like this, right?" Qiao hongcai said anxiously.

"Then wait for me, I'll go up and take a look." Xiao ran leaped onto a huge tree not far away after he finished speaking.

It was impossible to find Lin Yi in this dense forest. The only way now was to use the ghost-eyed Golden Eagle to find Lin Yi's location. Although the ghost-eyed Golden Eagle was huge, it was hard to see him from the bottom of the tree.

Qiao hongcai also wanted to follow them, but he was not an Agile Master. He didn't know how long it would take for him to climb up the tree, not to mention that he was still injured. He could only wait for Xiao ran's news below.

After waiting anxiously for a while, Qiao Hong saw Xiao ran flying down from the top. He quickly stepped forward and asked,""How is it? How's boss "situation?"

Xiao ran had a strange look on his face. He scratched his head and said,""I don't know what to say."

"What do you mean? Is boss in danger? Quickly tell me!" Qiao hongcai suddenly became more anxious.

"No, no. The ghost-eyed Golden Eagle is about ten miles to the North. However, I saw that it was circling around that position and seemed to be searching for something, but it didn't land." Xiao ran's tone was filled with disbelief.

"What do you mean?" Qiao hongcai still didn't understand.

Xiao ran pinched his chin and speculated,"it gives me the feeling that the ghost-eyed Golden Eagle seems to have lost track of boss's whereabouts. That's why it's circling around."

"How is this possible?" Qiao hongcai couldn't help being stunned.

The ghost-eyed Golden Eagle was a spirit beast above the mid-Foundation Stage, and it was also an Overlord of the sky. Its senses were unquestionable, and once it locked onto someone, even a master above it might not be able to escape, let alone Lin Yi.

"I don't know how boss did it either, but from the looks of it, it seems to be the case." Although Xiao ran was also in disbelief, seeing was believing. He had to believe it.

"What should we do now?" Qiao hongcai scratched his head. If Lin Yi was in danger, he would've rushed over without a second thought, but this situation was a little confusing.

Xiao ran thought for a moment and said,"in my opinion, we can't go to boss's side. Otherwise, not only will we not be of help, but we might also ruin things. However, we can't stay here for long. If the ghost-eyed Golden Eagle can't find boss, it's very likely that it will come back. It's better for us to leave first and then find a way to meet up with boss."

"Then ... Alright." Qiao hongcai was still worried about Lin Yi's situation, but following Xiao ran was the stupidest thing he could do in this situation.

On Lin Yi's side, just as Xiao ran predicted, Lin Yi had successfully escaped from the ghost-eyed Golden Eagle's pursuit.

The ghost-eyed Golden Eagle at the top was about the same strength as the one he met in the newbie test, mid-Foundation Stage. With Lin Yi's current strength, it would be very difficult to get rid of it after being locked on. From the beginning to the end, the ghost-eyed Golden Eagle didn't help at all.

This time, the reason why he was able to go so smoothly was because Qiao Hong had just tamed this Cub.

It was true that the Cub was a signal to the Eagle, and carrying it was like carrying a few hundred-watt light bulb. No matter how fast he moved, he couldn't escape its senses.

However, there was an old saying,"under the light is darkness." The ghost-eyed Golden Eagle could have locked onto Lin Yi directly, but with the youngster as a natural light bulb, the Eagle naturally locked onto the youngster. It didn't know that Lin Yi had a golden finger called the Jade space.

After luring the Eagle away from Xiao ran and Qiao hongcai, Lin Yi stuffed the Cub into the Jade space. Without a doubt, the Eagle lost Lin Yi in an instant, as if it had gone blind.

The ghost-eyed Golden Eagle had been circling above the mountain, but it couldn't find Lin Yi. (To be continued.)
