He looked at the crow calmly: "If you wish to continue, I can entertain you for a bit, your children will be treasured mounts of my sect, so do not worry about them being treated badly."

Of course, Mo Xie spoke using the ancient beast language.

The crow grew furious, who wouldn't? Its children will merely be the mounts of a family?

But a crow with one of its wings completely destroyed is a dead crow, unless it can regrow its wing immediately, but its species isn't one to have that ability.

"Human... I've spared your life before, spare my child and we can call it even." The crow spoke, clearly dejected that it lost.

Mo Xie chuckles: "Spared me? It's more appropriate if you say that I wouldn't be able to fill your stomach... or your children, right?"

Pausing for a bit, he chuckles: "And what makes you think that you spared my life? It's you luckily

The crow didn't reply, it merely stared at Mo Xie: "I... what can I do..."

"To save your children?"

Mo Xie smiled as he looked at the crow coolly.

The crow remained silent for a while before replying: "What do I have to give for them..."

Mo Xie smirked: "Well, I can't return them, but... you can follow them, right? You can also keep your life, the only exchange is eternal servitude to my family."

Mo Xie made it sound light, but eternal servitude is giving up your life's freedom.

Noting the Crow's hesitation, he added in a matter of fact tone: "You know, you only have two fates now, one is to die and one is to live by being our family's beast, what are you hesitating for?"

Hearing Mo Xie's words, the crow immediately remembered how one-sidedly it was dealt with. It had always soared unhindered, even level 1 and 2 Magical Beasts couldn't catch it when it escapes, it even some times killed weakened level 2 Magical Beasts.

It underestimated Mo Xie deeply, causing a single decisive strike from the latter. If it fought with its full power immediately, it could've escaped.

But to its demise, it couldn't help but accept its fate, the crow bowed: "I... I accept the fate you'll give me... master."

Mo Xie smiled, he nods his head and jumps down from the ground, he looked at the crow: "Now, swear your loyalty to me."

Like Zhuding had done, the crow swore its loyalty to Mo Xie. It didn't ask about how the boy knew of the vow, maybe, pa.s.sed down through the lineage of the family.

As if acquiring a newfound treasure, Mo Xie couldn't help but be filled with satisfaction: "When you break into your bounds, you'll ascend to be a True Dragon, something that will rival Magical Beasts."

A bomb dropped unto the crow's mind immediately, she looked at Mo Xie: "H-how do you know of such things?"

Mo Xie smiled: "Well, if in terms of Magical Beasts, I have little to almost no knowledge about them, but for Draconic Beasts such as yourself, well, I might know more than you could imagine."

As he finished speaking, he descends from the mountain and down to where the crow is: "Kneel."

The crow didn't hesitate and did as ordered.

Mo Xie couldn't help but sigh: "Such fine wings, I might not be able to find something more appealing than this."

The crow's eyes shone brightly: "Master, if you're looking for a pair of wings to use for your own, then, you're in the right territory, after all, this territory is filled with flying beasts, the ruler of this place is Rocas, a mighty Roc, with his enhancements, the land became suited for flying beasts."

"Well, I may not be within the top hundred strongest beasts within his territory, but I am within the top fifties in terms of flying might."

Mo Xie nods his head, he smiled: "Well then, I have dozens of beasts to pick out of too."

As he finished speaking, he placed the wing back at its original place and started to heal it.

After a while of mending and healing, it became attached again, Mo Xie sighed: "Remain here and recover, I will start my hunt."

The crow nods its head: "Yes."

"Is there any place you recommend me to hunt?" Mo Xie asked.

The crow nods her head: "Master, what kind of things are you looking for?" 

Mo Xie pondered for a bit before replying: "I want resources such as spirit stones, ores, and herbs, well, a wing would be quite well, especially something better than yours."

The crow pondered for a bit before replying: "Master, north from here, there's a cave, there's a level 2 Magical Beast named Warka, a mighty eagle with solid and sharp wings, but be careful not to stray too far, Rocas' lair is but a hundred kilometers away from that location."

She then looked from the east: "Eight kilometers from here, there's a double-headed osmium jade dragon, another Level 2 Magical Beast, its named Prakzis..."

"Do not tell me their names, they wouldn't need it for much longer anyway." Mo Xie interrupted.

"Yes." The crow nodded with a sigh, after all, if it weren't for Mo Xie's mercy, she too, will not need a name.

Mo Xie then remembered something and asked: "What's your name?"

"Master, I am called Prandis."

Mo Xie smiled, he nods his head and started to fly: "Will, I'll leave your eggs here, recover as much as you can, we'll get out of this place in about a year's time."

The crow bowed its head and replied respectfully: "Yes, master."

Mo Xie chuckles, he looked at the east and made his way immediately towards the dragon's place.

He couldn't help but smile: "A dragon's wings and scales, much less the blood and flesh, even its heart and core will be extremely useful, haha, I need to hunt more dragons."

With a smile plastered on his face, he couldn't contain his excitement, a first whole body of a useful dragon, if he managed to kill it, he could increase his physique's first form!
