Chapter 2281: Chapter 2278: Aerial Duel

"Lin Tian, it’s too dangerous." Miss shouted, knowing Lin Tian’s stubbornness was acting up again, and he probably wanted to tame the Snow Eagle.

However, a wild adult Snow Eagle, with its wild nature ingrained, and especially a modified one, unique and extremely proud, would never be tamed.

At this moment, Lin Tian couldn’t hear anyone’s voice, only the whistling wind in his ears. The Snow Eagle soared straight into the Nine Heavens, then dived, occasionally flipping in the air, performing a death roll.

Even with Lin Tian’s zombie-like body, he was feeling a bit dizzy. He used to envy Nu Ba for being able to fly, but looking at it now, if flying felt like this, it was too torturous.

Lin Tian held tightly to the Snow Eagle’s neck, shouting, "If I don’t tame you today, I’ll write my name backwards!"

Screech...

The Snow Eagle let out a sharp cry and immediately rolled in response to Lin Tian.

Now, Lin Tian could easily kill the Snow Eagle, but that wasn’t his goal, so he ended up in a battle of endurance with it. The people below watched as the man and eagle fought in the sky, seeing who would run out of strength first.

The Ancient Martial Artists’ necks were sore from watching. After a roll, the Snow Eagle in the sky suddenly lost strength, couldn’t correct its direction, and rolled straight down.

Caught in a close encounter with the earth, the Snow Eagle flapped its wings forcefully at the last moment, changing a direct collision into a horizontal flight.

With a thud, the man and eagle skidded across the ground, carving a deep groove into the earth with rocks as they rolled dozens of meters before stopping.

"Lin Tian..." Xiao Manxuan and others exclaimed, rushing toward Lin Tian.

However, Lin Tian quickly flipped over and jumped up, showing only torn clothes and a messy hairstyle without any injuries.

"I’m fine." Lin Tian waved his hand, gesturing them not to come closer.

The Snow Eagle weakly raised its head, looking at Lin Tian with pride. It tried several times to flap its wings and stand up but failed each time, ending in a powerless slump.

"Brother Tian, do you think the Snow Eagle is about to kick the bucket?" Ghost asked.

"It’s not going to die, but the Snow Eagle’s cold poison isn’t cured, and after fighting with me for so long, it’s quite injured. If not treated, it might not be able to fly for a while." Lin Tian assessed calmly.

"How to treat it? There’s no veterinarian here." Ghost asked in confusion.

Lin Tian raised the golden thread in his hand and smiled, "Who said treating an animal requires a veterinarian? The Snow Eagle is poisoned with cold, which even a vet couldn’t cure, but I can."

Saying this, he removed the golden thread, approached the Snow Eagle, which immediately let out a cry, its eyes full of vigilance, unwilling to let Lin Tian near.

This is the instinct of a wild animal, especially when injured—self-preservation by avoiding non-kindred creatures, hiding in secluded places to recuperate.

"If you refuse treatment, given your current condition, you’ll face certain death if encountered by other beasts." Lin Tian pointed at it and then at Bai, clearly indicating that the injured Snow Eagle might become prey for other animals.

Whether it understood or not, it kept flapping its wings, unwilling to settle down for treatment.

Lin Tian shook his head, feeling helpless; the Snow Eagle was not like Bai, who hadn’t lived among humans, naturally unable to understand human language.

No matter how much he said, it was useless verbal cajoling. Suddenly, Lin Tian leaped onto the Snow Eagle’s back, pinning its wings with his feet while grabbing its neck with his left hand. No matter how it struggled, it couldn’t break free.

"Damn, Brother Tian is going for a forceful approach." Ghost exclaimed exaggeratedly.

Lin Tian indeed had to resort to force, using the golden thread in his right hand to quickly pierce the Snow Eagle’s neck, then slashing a cut open, causing blood to flow out, staining the white feathers black.

Indeed, the Snow Eagle’s blood turned black, indicating severe poisoning. The cold poison had entered the bloodstream, and without prompt treatment, the poison would advance into its organs, leaving its fate to chance.

To remove the cold poison quickly, bloodletting was the best method. After making the cut, Lin Tian inserted the golden thread into the major blood vessel in the Snow Eagle’s head.

Simultaneously, he accumulated purple flame in his palm, conducting warmth through the golden thread into the Snow Eagle’s bloodstream.

Although the Snow Eagle was still struggling, it suddenly felt a warm flow from its head spreading slowly throughout its body, creating a comfortable sensation.

Much like how a cat relaxes when its head is stroked by its owner, the Snow Eagle soon stopped struggling, calming down.

The amber eyes gradually lost their wariness, replacing it with enjoyment.

"Even wild birds can’t resist the power of Lin Tian’s Nine Needle Technique." Miss chuckled, watching the Snow Eagle enjoy it, mostly in admiration—the Nine Needle Technique was indeed powerful.

At the Snow Eagle’s wound, the bleeding gradually subsided, with the blood changing from black to dark red, and finally fully restored to bright red.

Lin Tian withdrew the golden thread, jumping down from the Snow Eagle’s back, saying with a smile, "It’s okay now."

The Snow Eagle made a few flaps with its wings, then pushed with its claws, managing to take flight, to the silent admiration of the onlookers for Lin Tian’s medical skills and the Snow Eagle’s recovery ability.

"This little white-eyed wolf isn’t planning to run away again, not remembering Brother Tian’s kindness." Ghost voiced indignation for Lin Tian.

Xiao Manxuan laughed, "You’re reasoning with a bird, thinking all animals are as perceptive as Bai?"

Bai, pleased with the praise, let out a couple of contented calls, surprising everyone again—Bai’s insightfulness was truly one-of-a-kind.

Just when everyone thought the Snow Eagle would escape, it circled twice and then landed before Lin Tian.

Chirp chirp...

The Snow Eagle called out at Lin Tian twice, lacking its former regal demeanor, instead showing a softness resembling Bai’s manner when giving affection.

"Wow, the Snow Eagle has been tamed by Lin Tian!" Ghost’s eyes widened in amazement.

During his time as a mercenary, he saw many foreign tycoons bragging about keeping beasts like lions, tigers, crocodiles, and leopards to showcase their unique tastes.

But compared to Lin Tian, they were far inferior—ten lions couldn’t match this Snow Eagle.

"You’ve got some sense." Lin Tian patted the Snow Eagle’s wing, very satisfied, feeling his efforts were worthwhile.

Thinking a bit more, Lin Tian continued, "You’ve grown up in nature and don’t have a name, so why don’t I give you one?"

"Master, don’t name it Little Ya again; you already have several Little Yas." protested the Sword Spirit before the naming, imagining a helpless look if it were human.

Lin Tian could only chuckle ruefully; he indeed had thoughts of naming it Little Ya. With all the same names, it would save him the trouble of remembering—how convenient. Men often forget their own birthdays, yet must remember various anniversaries. Why make things complicated with difficult names?
