Chapter 147 9 Combat Power
Nineteen was originally one of the best among eagles, very intelligent. As people often say, this animal is intelligent. Recently, Yunyi has been feeding it spiritual spring water, so its intelligence has increased dramatically. Now its intelligence is about the same as that of a three-year-old child.
In my previous life, the military not only had military dogs, but also military gyrfalcons. The best one at the time could exceed 200 kilometers per hour and reach an astonishing 300 kilometers per hour when diving. That was quite outstanding, and it assisted the police in solving many major cases.
The current Nineteen is even better than that military eagle. Its speed had already reached 200 kilometers per hour before, and now, with the help of the spiritual spring water, its speed is estimated to exceed 300 kilometers per hour. When diving, its speed will be at least 350 or 400 kilometers per hour.
Therefore, although it doesn't often appear when Yunyi goes out, it never goes far away and often wanders around the places where Yunyi often stays.
It's about 120 kilometers from Longxi to Heicheng, and it would take more than an hour to ride a horse, and that's with a good horse. Both the rider and the horse would need to rest along the way. But a round trip by flying 19 times would take less than an hour, and there would be no need to rest in between.
At this moment, upon hearing Yunyi's summons, Nineteen immediately swooped down from the sky.
【Has Nineteen grown up again?】Yunyi looked at the huge creature swooping down and could feel the wind it was generating from a distance.
"Yes," Sixteen affirmed. "It's already close to the size of an adult eagle; its wingspan is about 1.5 meters."
[It's growing so fast! It was only 1.2 meters tall a few days ago.]
[The Spirit Spring Water can greatly enhance all of the body's skills.]
Will there be any side effects?
"Don't worry, everything from the system is top-notch." Sixteen suddenly sighed. "Boss, this is the last benefit I can give you."
That's good. Even though you won't be of much use to me anymore, I won't abandon you.
Boss, you're so kind.
……
In the time it took to chat, Nineteen had already overturned all seven or eight people, and even slashed each of them with his claws, drawing blood from them all.
At this moment, Nineteen's paw was pressed on the thug leader's head, and it tilted its head and cooed twice at Yun Yi.
"Well done." Yunyi went over and patted Nineteen's head, then looked at the thug leader under Nineteen's paws, "Did Bai Laowu send you?"
The gang leader remained silent.
"Bai Laowu's eyeballs were gouged out by Nineteen's claws. Since you won't talk about it, why don't you keep him company? I remember they gouged out his left eyeball, so why don't you sacrifice your right eye?"
Nineteen seemed to understand, flapped its wings, and stretched out its claws to grab at the man's eyes.
"I'll talk!" the man shouted in terror, and a strong stench of urine immediately filled the air.
Yunyi covered her nose and took two steps back. Nineteen even covered her head with one wing and then stumbled back a few steps as well.
Xiao Jinxiu, who was standing next to her, was amused, but realizing that the situation was not right, she quickly covered her mouth.
Yunyi glanced at Nineteen speechlessly; this guy really was exceptionally intelligent.
The gang leader could only confess that they were indeed江湖人 (jianghu people, people from the underworld), hired by Master Bai Wu to come and ruin Boss Yun's reputation. He would then step forward, unite with the other forces, and wipe out the Fengyun Gang in one fell swoop.
"This is our first time doing this, and we never expected to run into the real boss." The gang leader cried. "We won't do it again. We'll leave right now and never come to Black City again."
“I’ll believe you if you tell me,” Yun Yi nodded. “However, my little friend has already sensed your presence. If you break your vow, then…”
The group glanced at the human-like Nineteen and shuddered. They recognized the species; it was a priceless gyrfalcon, a rare breed that only one in ten thousand eagles could produce. It was a formidable creature that could catch swans in the air and fight jackals on the ground. If this guy set his sights on them, their future would be bleak. They never knew when it would swat them with its claws. Who could stand that?
"No, we'll leave Heicheng and Longxi right now, and we'll never set foot here again."
"Okay, let's go." Yunyi nodded. Although fighting and killings were common in Black City, she wasn't here every day. Responding to violence with violence would lead to endless trouble.
The group helped each other to their feet and then ran away.
Nineteen let out a cry and soared into the air, "escorting" the eight people away from Black City. As for where they went, that was not Yunyi's concern.
"Thank you, young lady." Xiao Lingshan clasped his hands in a fist salute to Yun Yi. "Our Xiao family owes you another favor."
“Miss, I am Xiao Jinxiu. You said last time that you would tell me your name when we meet again.” Xiao Jinxiu directly grabbed Yunyi’s hand and looked at her intently. “The acupressure massage you taught me last time was very effective.”
"My name is Yunyi." Yunyi nodded, glancing at the medicine bag in her arms. "Is the old gentleman feeling unwell again?"
“My father is alright; he has many of his students and old friends here, so he hasn’t made things too difficult for me,” Xiao Jinxiu sighed. “It’s my mother…”
Yunyi frowned. She hadn't seen that Second Madam Xiao when they were on their way to exile.
“Before the incident, my father and brother gave my mother and sister-in-law the divorce papers, but they…” Xiao Jinxiu paused, “They came with us on their own, saying that a family should be together, and that it was impossible for them to enjoy the affection of my husband’s niece Chong’an when everything was fine, but they left after the incident. But my mother is getting old, and she developed a fever yesterday after arriving here, so we came out to find medicine, but we didn’t expect…”
Yunyi was somewhat touched. The Xiao family had a strong sense of family values; the saying "kind father, filial son, and harmonious husband and wife" was not just a rumor, but a reality. Such affection was worthy of respect: "There are many reasons for fever. The medicine in your arms can indeed reduce fever, but the effect is not guaranteed. If you trust me..."
"I believe you." Before Yunyi could finish speaking, Xiao Jinxiu nodded.
Yunyi found it somewhat amusing. She had heard of Xiao Jinxiu's talent before, and the original owner had always thought that such a person was aloof. However, after getting to know her, she realized that aloofness was just a first impression; in fact, this person was quite lively. "Uncle Quan, you go back and give some instructions first. I'm going to check on the old lady and will be back later." Then, she took He Miao and left with Xiao Jinxiu and her niece.
