Chapter 275 - 183: Strange Combinations (Part 2)

"But Thunder hasn’t matured yet, is this reasonable?"

Luo De looked at Vivian incredulously.

Vivian nodded, explaining in a low voice, "Dragons are naturally lascivious, it doesn’t have the ability now, but its nature drives it to seek suitable males."

"Hiss..."

Luo De smacked his lips helplessly.

Indeed, Night Fury got involved with Thunder.

Standing aside, Vivian crossed her arms and said with a smile, "Lord Baron, don’t worry, maybe they can produce some special magical beasts."

Luo De nodded but couldn’t help sighing.

Luo De wasn’t unable to accept it.

If a dragon horse or other mutant magical beast is born, Luo De could accept it.

It’s just that Luo De felt a bit confused.

In this world, there is no reproductive isolation among magical beasts, strange combinations always occur.

Now, Luo De was pondering whether if Night Fury and Thunder were together, would the offspring be viviparous or oviparous?

Forget it.

Luo De felt he couldn’t figure out this profound issue, better to check the information when he had time.

As for Night Fury and Thunder, let nature take its course.

After all, he couldn’t do anything like breaking up a pair of lovebirds.

Thank goodness Frost, being aloof, did not follow.

Luo De helplessly turned around and looked at Ward, "Keep an eye on them, don’t let them cause trouble."

Ward nodded bitterly, "Yes, my lord... I’ll do my best."

"If those mares successfully conceive, send them back to the ranch."

Luo De looked at Thunder, "If the two of them get along well, Thunder might easily attack those mares."

"Alright, alright, I’ll get these mares away immediately."

Ward responded and quickly set his men to work.

Luo De patted his shoulder without lingering, leaving the stable with a bit of sentiment.

...

On a cliff in Ice Blade Valley, Rein held his breath.

A young eagle perched on a rock not far away, its sharp eyes scanning the surroundings.

A recently deceased hare lay in the snow, its blood still emitting warm steam.

On the hillside in the distance, Rein stared intently at the eagle, his hand on the rope’s end.

The eagle’s speed was fast; a slight mistake would ruin everything.

The others were far away from Rein, not daring to get close or make any sound.

The eagle observed for a long time, then suddenly flapped its wings and took off, flying into the distance.

If it were an ordinary hunter, they might have already left by now.

But Rein remained motionless, lying steadily in the snow pit.

As Rein expected, not long after, the young eagle flew back again.

This time, without hesitation, it dove from the sky, rushing directly at the hare in the snow!

Rein held his breath, and just as the eagle was about to land, he yanked the rope tightly!

A large net sprang up from the snow, completely trapping the eagle!

The eagle realized it was a trap and started to struggle fiercely, and Rein immediately pounced, pinning it firmly to the ground!

"You’re still very young, little guy."

Rein smiled faintly.

This eagle was clever, knowing how to test and perform a sneak attack.

But it wasn’t just the eagle that was clever; other eagles were also smart.

Rein had already suffered losses in other places.

Other hunters had rushed to the front, taking the eagle away from Rein.

A wildman from the Eagle Feather Tribe, awakened with the Red Feather Mark, hurriedly rushed over and began taming the hawk.

Rein took a breath and asked his deputy, "Let’s move on to the next one."

The deputy hadn’t had time to respond when a circling eagle suddenly appeared in the sky.

"Is that this eagle’s mate?" the deputy asked.

"No, it’s one of ours."

As Rein finished speaking, the eagle circled down.

Sure enough, a cloth bag was tied to its claw.

Rein untied the bag from the eagle’s claw,

"Go, give it the hare."

Rein gave an order, and then opened the bag to take out a letter.

A moment later.

Rein finished reading the letter, lit a pine branch, and burned the letter to ashes.

"Inform everyone to pack up, it’s time for us to move too."

Rein instructed his deputy, "The lord has ordered us to proceed immediately to the border outpost of Black Pine Ridge to meet with Gang Le."

"Huh?"

The deputy hesitated for a moment, reporting, "Sakula’s eagle found another eagle to the east, should we catch it before we leave?"

"No time, Lord Gang Le is already waiting for us at the outpost."

Rein, seeing his deputy’s regretful expression, comforted him,

"No worries, Razor Plain should have plenty of hawks for us to catch."

...

...

The border outpost was newly built, hidden within the dense pine forest.

In front of the outpost was a high ground; by crawling up and lying down, one could observe the teams coming from Ice Blade Valley and Razor Plain.

The border outpost was temporarily made of wooden walls and watchtowers, with huts of grass huts and earth holes, appearing quite simple.

But very practical.

Especially for teams on long winter treks, having a warm shelter and cellar for warmth is a very fortunate thing.

Moreover, the border outpost could mutually keep watch with Black Stone Stronghold, providing timely support if anything happened.

Gang Le was conducting a routine drill, while Alya was with the Hunting Team making simple arrows.

Rein entered the outpost with the team, and Alya and the hunters of the Hunting Team all stood up.

Gang Le stepped forward grinning and gave Rein a big hug.

"Got the lord’s order?"

After releasing, Gang Le asked.

"Yes, we’re here, we can fight together again."

Rein nodded, his gaze sweeping over the crowded outpost, "With more than a hundred people including the Hunting Team, it seems it’s not just about hunting, huh."

"Hahaha, killing alien races is also hunting."
