However, as soon as he was lifted up, the Flying Rhinoceros flew up again, and he was forced to step on its back.
The Flying Rhinoceros's gentle voice sounded in his head, and it sounded doubtful. "You can fly?"
"I can't," Xie Sen said. "Stop, I want to go back."
"Didn't you say that you can recycle energy? There are too many beasts there. I'll take you to a safe place. "
"No." Xie Sen was worried that the Flying Rhinoceros would fly away. He hurriedly said, "My friends are still waiting for me there. They will be worried if I leave like this."
The Flying Rhinoceros readily agreed. "Then I'll take your friends with me."
When MeiIn saw that Xie Sen was taken away by the Flying Rhinoceros, his expression became extremely ugly. He held onto the watermelon vine with one hand and quickly slid down from the top of the cliff to the bottom.
Long Teng waited for him to land and immediately grabbed onto the watermelon vine. He was about to jump down when he thought of Bai Jiao. He squatted down and said, "I'll take you down with me."
Bai Jiao did not hesitate and jumped onto his back. Long Teng quickly carried him down to the bottom of the cliff.
MeiIn was running in the direction that Xie Sen had left when he saw the Flying Rhinoceros fly back and land in front of him.
Xie Sen stood on the back of the Flying Rhinoceros and waved at him. "MeiIn!"
MeiIn looked coldly at the Flying Rhinoceros and trotted over to help him jump onto its back.
The Flying Rhinoceros's voice sounded in Xie Sen's head. "Your friend is very unfriendly. I want to throw him down."
Xie Sen hurriedly said, "Don't. He's just worried about me."
Long Teng and Bai Jiao ran directly in the direction of MeiIn after reaching the bottom of the canyon. However, before they could take two steps, they heard violent footsteps behind them. At the same time, the ground began to shake slightly.
Long Teng looked back and saw that the contract beasts and beasts that were originally fighting were all following behind them and running in the same direction as him.
"Ah, ah, ah …" No matter how thick-skinned he was, he could not help but scream. He grabbed Bai Jiao and said, "Run!"
MeiIn jumped onto the back of the Flying Rhinoceros. She held Xie Sen's hand and sized him up. Only after she was certain that Xie Sen was alright did her expression become better. However, she held onto Xie Sen's hand tightly.
Xie Sen was about to say something when he heard the cry of the Long Teng. He looked forward and saw the herd of beasts. He immediately felt his scalp go numb. He recalled the ten-meter-long watermelon vine tied to the tree at the edge of the cliff and had it bind the two of them at the same time. Then, he lifted them onto the back of the Flying Rhinoceros.
He urged the Flying Rhinoceros, "Go quickly!"
The Flying Rhinoceros flapped its wings and flew into the air. It let out a cry towards the group of beasts not far away. Its voice wasn't loud, but it was extremely penetrating. The Flying Eagle responded with a high-pitched voice and flew side by side with it.
The Giant Tiger Beast, the Giant Elephant Beast, and the other high-level contract beasts that couldn't fly were running neatly below, followed by a group of beasts.
MeiIn sat on the back of the Flying Rhinoceros. She held onto its neck with one hand and firmly held onto Xie Sen with the other.
Xie Sen recalled the watermelon vine. Long Teng held onto Bai Jiao's arm with its left hand. It looked back and shouted excitedly, "So cool!"
Bai Jiao sat firmly and stroked the back of the Flying Rhinoceros. He looked at it for a moment and said, "This seems to be the Flying Rhinoceros. It's an S-level contract beast that disappeared during the Golden Age."
The Flying Rhinoceros said in Xie Sen's mind, "It's just living in seclusion. It hasn't disappeared."
Bai Jiao said with an uncertain look, "But the horn of the Flying Rhinoceros should be silver-gray, not red."
Xie Sen understood. It must have something to do with the red energy.
Sure enough, the Flying Rhinoceros said in his mind, "My horn changed color from the day I obtained the red energy."
Xie Sen pointed at the rhinoceros horn and said to Bai Jiao, "This is the Flying Rhinoceros. The changes in the forest are all because of its horn."
He was puzzled. The red energy could give the Flying Rhinoceros strength and even increase its intelligence. Why would it let him take back the energy so easily?
Thinking of this, he quickly summoned A Dan in his mind. "A Dan, how do I take back the energy?"
A Dan said, "Cut off its horn and hold it in your hand. I can absorb it."
What? Xie Sen was stunned. "You're not joking, right?"
Generally, animals with horns had important defensive and offensive weapons. In the forest, it was equivalent to suicide without horns!
"Of course not," A Dan denied in a serious tone.
Xie Sen said, "Is there no other way? Can I just hold its horn and absorb it directly? "
"No, it's safest to take back the energy from an inanimate object. If you do it directly, the red energy will subconsciously absorb energy from its body during the recovery process. It will then die."
Xie Sen couldn't help but worry. How could he make such a request?
Long Teng heard Xie Sen's explanation and stretched his neck to look at the Flying Rhinoceros' horn. "Isn't its horn super powerful?"
Bai Jiao continued, "Yes, this is an important weapon of the Flying Rhinoceros. It's an omnivorous contract beast, but it's not weak at all in a fight with carnivorous contract beasts like the Flying Tiger because of its horn."
He paused. "However, its rhino horn is different from usual. If these animals are after the rhino horn, then its rhino horn must be more powerful than usual."
Xie Sen looked at him in admiration. "That's true."
Long Teng was even more curious. "I really want to touch it!"
As they were talking, MeiIn suddenly reminded them, "There's someone here."
Xie Sen followed his line of sight and looked to the right in front of them. He saw a huge animal swimming downstream with four people on its back. They were too far away to see their faces clearly.
When the Flying Rhinoceros was about to fly over them, Xie Sen heard the Flying Rhinoceros make a puzzled sound. It then descended and hovered near them.
"It's you guys!"
"Oh my god, it's the Flying Rhinoceros!"
The four people in the water looked at the Flying Rhinoceros and Xie Sen and the others on its back in shock.
Xie Sen was also a little surprised. He had seen two of the four people before.
One was Ah Qi, the S-grade contract beast master who had followed Rui Luo during the tournament. The other was the young master of the Qiao family, whom he had met at the birthday party.
The four of them looked terrible. They were all in the same state. Their eyes were bloodshot and dark circles. Most of their clothes were torn, revealing white bloody bandages underneath. They were all injured.
After Ah Qi and the others recovered from their shock, they looked at the huge herd of beasts behind them in horror. The young master of the Qi family couldn't help but ask, "Who are you guys?"
Long Teng was puzzled. "Why are they all asking? Haven't we met before?"
Bai Jiao chuckled and looked at him. "What they're asking is different from what you're thinking. They're probably just expressing their surprise."
"Oh." Long Teng rubbed the back of his head and laughed. It wasn't clear whether he understood or not.
"Young Master Qi, look, it's a giant tiger!" One of the youths with chestnut hair nudged Young Master Qi with his arm and pointed at the giant tiger running behind them.
Young Master Qi's eyes lit up as if he had seen a rare treasure.
Xie Sen looked back. If they stayed any longer, the beasts they had shaken off would catch up.
He asked the Flying Rhinoceros, "Why did you stop?"
"There's a Flying Rhinoceros contracted beast master," the Flying Rhinoceros replied. "I have to take him with me. He might be useful."
Xie Sen looked at the four of them and his gaze finally landed on Ah Qi. "You're the Flying Rhinoceros' beast master?"
Ah Qi nodded and stared at the Flying Rhinoceros. He said in a low voice, "Yes."
"Can you come with us?" Xie Sen asked.
Ah Qi's eyes lit up, but he didn't agree immediately. He clenched his fists and looked at Young Master Qi. Young Master Qi said, "We came together. Why don't we go with you?"
MeiIn said coldly, "They can, but you can't."
Xie Sen coughed awkwardly. Young Master Qi was stunned, then smiled. "I don't have to sit on the back of the Flying Rhinoceros."
The chestnut haired youth summoned a giant goose. Young Master Qi pointed at Ah Qi and the grey-haired man. "We'll sit on the giant goose. Please take Ah Qi and Ah Li."
Xie Sen looked back and said to the Flying Rhinoceros, "They're almost catching up."
The Flying Rhinoceros descended again and flew in front of Ah Qi. Xie Sen said, "Jump on."
Ah Qi and Ah Li nimbly jumped onto the Flying Rhinoceros' back. The Flying Rhinoceros flapped its wings and quickly flew forward.
Ah Qi's hand trembled slightly as he touched the Flying Rhinoceros' hide. His eyes were red. Ah Li patted his shoulder. "Don't be sad. You're very lucky."
Xie Sen looked at the two of them strangely, not understanding their reactions.
Long Teng laughed as usual and patted Ah Qi's other shoulder. "Isn't it cool? Aren't you super excited? Hahaha … "
Bai Jiao rubbed his forehead helplessly. Xie Sen also shook his head and sighed.
No matter how he looked at it, Ah Qi's eyes weren't red from excitement.
However, the effect of his interruption was not bad. Ah Qi's expression relaxed, and a faint smile appeared on his serious face. "Very cool."
The Flying Rhinoceros carried them on its back and kept flying forward, occasionally making turns. Twenty minutes later, it flew across a two-kilometer mountain path. The path was sandwiched between two mountains and was less than two meters wide. It could block most of the beasts.
Other than the Flying Eagle, the Giant Tiger and Giant Elephant could not continue to follow them. They ran along the side of the mountain.
After passing through the path and flying forward for about five minutes, the Flying Rhinoceros finally stopped in a canyon surrounded by mountains.
The canyon was filled with dense vegetation. There were no tall trees, and the visibility was excellent. The location was also very hidden.
MeiIn and Long Teng jumped off the Flying Rhinoceros' back. Xie Sen walked to the edge and looked at the height of more than three meters from the ground. He felt guilty. This was almost like jumping off the second floor.
MeiIn stretched out her hand. "I'll catch you."
Xie Sen's face turned slightly red. He looked back and suddenly felt awkward. Even Bai Jiao, the only female, had jumped off directly, but he was still dawdling.
He looked at MeiIn and shook his head. "No need. Move back a little. Be careful not to get hit."
MeiIn raised her eyebrows. Instead of retreating, she took a step forward.
At this moment, the Flying Rhinoceros very considerately laid down so that Xie Sen could jump off. However, it had overestimated Xie Sen.
The moment it laid down, its body tilted. Xie Sen was originally standing on the edge, so his body tilted as well. He did not even have time to prepare himself and fell straight down.
The moment he felt weightless, Xie Sen did not have time to think about summoning vines to help him other than screaming.
However, the expected pain did not come. MeiIn caught him firmly and carried him horizontally.
Xie Sen grabbed MeiIn's shoulder and asked worriedly, "Is your arm okay?" He was worried that the impact would hurt MeiIn's arm.
"It's okay." MeiIn's eyes softened because of his concern. "You're very light."
Xie Sen jumped down from his body. "I'm at least 50 kilograms. I'm not light."
"Sorry, I didn't know you would fall. Fortunately, your friend caught you," the Flying Rhinoceros said.
Xie Sen coughed dryly and replied in his mind, "It's okay." This was really embarrassing. Fortunately, the others did not laugh at him.
He walked to the front of the Flying Rhinoceros. The Flying Rhinoceros' eyes were big, black, round, bright and clear. It looked at people with a gentle expression. It was easy for people to have a good impression of it.
He raised his hand and gently touched its horn. He instantly felt a strong energy. At the same time, the temperature of the Peony on his shoulder rose rapidly. It was as if the Peony had materialized and passed through his arm to the rhinoceros' horn.
The moment the heat reached the rhinoceros' horn, he felt a surge of energy rush towards its arm. In his eyes, the Flying Rhinoceros changed. It was no longer made of skin and flesh. Instead, it was made of countless red dots. At this moment, those red dots were uncontrollably rushing towards the top of the rhinoceros' horn.
"Quickly move your hand!"
"Moo!!!"
A Dan's shout and the Flying Rhinoceros' howl were heard at almost the same time. Xie Sen subconsciously withdrew his hand. At the same time, someone grabbed his waist and pulled him back a few steps.
The Flying Rhinoceros jumped up from the ground. It jumped and howled in place, causing the ground to shake.
MeiIn's face turned pale. If he had been a step slower, Xie Sen would have been knocked down and stepped on by the Flying Rhinoceros.
Xie Sen felt MeiIn's hand tremble slightly. He was startled. His heart moved slightly. He turned to look at MeiIn and smiled at him. "I'm fine."
MeiIn stared at him and said in a tense voice, "Do you know how dangerous you were just now?" He gradually tightened his grip on his waist. He lowered his head and said in a low voice, "You said that you would accompany me for the rest of my life!"
"It was my mistake just now," he said softly. "I'm sorry."
"A Sen, are you okay?" Long Teng ran to Xie Sen and asked anxiously. Bai Jiao also looked at him worriedly.
Xie Sen smiled at them. "I'm fine."
A Dan said in his mind, "You can't touch its horn. The system can feel the energy and will automatically absorb it. At the same time, the red energy will absorb its energy."
Xie Sen looked at the Flying Rhinoceros that seemed to have gone crazy. He felt guilty. "What do we do now? It looks like it's in pain. "
"You can comfort it," A Dan said. "Did you forget? You have the aura of nature on you. "
Xie Sen patted MeiIn's hand. "Let go."
MeiIn stared at him. "What are you doing?"
Xie Sen did not hide anything. "I want to comfort it."
"You can comfort it?" Ah Qi was originally looking at the Flying Rhinoceros anxiously. When he heard his words, he immediately looked over. "What's wrong with it? It looks like it's in pain."
"No," MeiIn said. "You can't go near it now. It's too dangerous."
The Flying Rhinoceros was huge. It jumped around crazily. Fortunately, it only jumped around where it was originally lying down and did not go on a rampage. Otherwise, all of them would be in danger.
Going near it was no different from suicide.
Xie Sen patted MeiIn's hand to comfort it. He contacted the Flying Rhinoceros in his mind. "I'm really sorry. I apologize for my recklessness. Can you hear me? Flying Rhinoceros? "
He thought for a moment. "Moo ~ moo ~ Flying Rhinoceros, can you hear me? If you can, lie down. I can help you. "
The Flying Rhinoceros did not respond. However, it slowly stopped jumping and lay down. Its body did not move, but it knocked its head against the ground. It was obvious that it was in pain.
Xie Sen pulled MeiIn's hand down and held it. "If you're worried, let's go together."
MeiIn did not stop him this time. It followed him closer to the Flying Rhinoceros. Ah Qi followed closely behind them.
Xie Sen raised his hand and touched the Flying Rhinoceros's slightly bulging belly. He spoke kindly to it. "I'm sorry. Are you feeling better now?"
The frequency of the Flying Rhinoceros knocking its head against the ground gradually decreased. Its voice was much weaker than before. "You're not human. Humans don't have this kind of aura of nature. I felt it when you were on my back just now."
Xie Sen said, "You can think of me as a plant-type Beast Master. I'm really sorry about what happened just now."
"It's not the first time," the Flying Rhinoceros said. "When I felt the energy just now, it was much more uncomfortable than before. My head felt like it was going to explode and my whole body was burning. I only felt comfortable when I was constantly being washed by water."
Xie Sen suddenly understood. "So you stopped at the waterfall?"
"Yes." The Flying Rhinoceros's voice lowered. "Along the way, I hurt many beasts. Many contracted beasts also felt the energy and came to find me."
"At first, we found that being close to the energy could increase our intelligence and make us more aggressive. However, we could control our urge to fight, but the beasts could not."
"They wanted to steal the energy. In the process, they would even kill each other. The first two days, the forest was like hell."
"Later, the contracted beasts reached a consensus to protect the energy. However, we found that after being close to the energy for a long time, our intelligence would still increase. However, we gradually could not control our urge to fight. It affected our minds. "
"And because of the energy, many plants that had never been seen before grew in the forest. Some of them were poisonous. Some beasts accidentally ate them and died."
"We realized that if this continued, the energy could bring disaster to the forest. In the end, we decided to find a way to destroy the energy. However, we did not find a way."
Xie Sen thought to himself. No wonder when the Flying Rhinoceros heard that he could take back the energy, its reaction was relief and not vigilance.
"You can take back the energy now!" the Flying Rhinoceros said.
Xie Sen hesitated for a moment. "The energy is in your rhinoceros horn …" He paused and could not say it out loud.
The Flying Rhinoceros said, "Do you want me to cut it off? I just felt it. If you absorb it directly, I will die. "
Xie Sen looked at it in surprise. "You are too smart."
The Flying Rhinoceros said, "This is the intelligence that the energy gave me. Moreover, the intelligence of S-class contracted beasts is very high. Humans nowadays often underestimate us."
Its voice was gentle and steady. "Cut it off. The forest should be calm again."
Xie Sen stroked its hide. "Then what about you?"
"You don't have to worry about me. The Flying Rhinoceros' horn can be regenerated. It can be regenerated in two years at most." The Flying Rhinoceros seemed to chuckle. "I like you. You are a friendly contracted beast."
Xie Sen smiled. He felt the Flying Rhinoceros' kindness and gentleness. "Without the horn, you will be in danger in the forest."
"Who said I want to stay in the forest?"
Xie Sen was stunned. He suddenly thought of something. "Yes, you can go out with me. I will take care of you."
"Maybe I don't need to trouble you," the Flying Rhinoceros said. "If he has the ability to make me form a contract with him."
Ah Qi saw the Flying Rhinoceros suddenly turn to look at him and was stunned. He subconsciously looked at Xie Sen. "What do you mean?"
Xie Sen looked at Ah Qi. "Do you want to form a contract with him?"
Ah Qi's eyes were firm. "Of course." He choked. "This has been the dream of our Yan family for generations."
Xie Sen was stunned. He did not expect his answer to be so profound.
The Flying Rhinoceros sighed softly. "You humans always regret."
Xie Sen did not understand. The Flying Rhinoceros said again, "That's good. Let him do it. Cut off my horn first and then show me his ability."
Xie Sen stroked its hide and looked at Yan Qi. "Cut off its horn and then show it your ability. See if it will agree to form a contract with you."
"What?" Yan Qi's expression suddenly changed. "No!"
"You're crazy!" The chestnut-haired youth who was with Yan Qi glared at Xie Sen. "Ah Qi's ancestors made this mistake and caused all the Flying Rhinoceros to disappear overnight. After so many generations, they finally met one. Do you want his family and the Flying Rhinoceros to become enemies?"
The chestnut-haired youth was so angry that his chest violently heaved. He took a step forward. "His family is full of Flying Rhinoceros Beast Masters! Don't you know how important a contracted beast is to a Beast Master? If you make another mistake this time, who knows when you will meet a Flying Rhinoceros again! "
MeiIn coldly stared at him and warned, "Step back."
The youth was about to say something but was pulled back by Young Master Qi and retreated a few steps.
Xie Sen did not expect there to be an inside story. He could not help but ask, "What's going on?"
The Flying Rhinoceros sighed. "After the Beastmen became humans, society developed rapidly and technology became more and more advanced. There was a period of time when life was very peaceful. The existence of contracted beasts lost its most important meaning to some people — fighting."
"Especially high level contracted beasts. Low level contracted beasts can be pets, but high level contracted beasts are not even suitable for pets. Later, the noble families came up with a way to let high level contracted beasts fight for entertainment."
"My ancestor seriously injured a contracted beast in a fight. The Beast Master of that contracted beast was very powerful and requested my ancestor's Beast Master to cut off its horn."
Xie Sen's heart tightened. "He did it?"
"Yes," the Flying Rhinoceros said in a low voice. "My ancestor ended the contract by ending his life. At the same time, all of our species returned to the forest and no longer contracted with humans. Humans became ordinary and we enjoyed our loneliness."
The Flying Rhinoceros said, "Meeting him in this situation is also fate. My mental state is not good and contracting with him is good for me. I gave him a chance. If he is strong enough, I will contract with him. The same way their family ended their relationship with our species, we will start it again in the same way. "
Xie Sen was shocked. He looked at Yan Qi who had an ugly expression. "This is its intention."
Yan Qi clenched his fist and the veins on the back of his hand bulged. "How is that possible? What will it do without its horn? "
Xie Sen said, "Its horn has changed and must be cut off. If you can't contract with it, I will take care of it."
"No, I will take care of it!" Yan Qi said decisively.
"That will depend on your ability. First, you need to cut off its horn."
Xie Sen said and asked A Dan in his mind. "How much should you cut? Although it can regenerate, you should cut as little as possible!"
A Dan said, "The tip should be a little lower. The energy should be gathered at the sharpest part."
Xie Sen was relieved and waited for Yan Qi's answer.
Yan Qi walked in front of the Flying Rhinoceros. "Do you really want me to do this?"
The Flying Rhinoceros nodded. Yan Qi was silent for a moment and took out a sharp knife from his backpack. The Flying Rhinoceros's head was placed on the ground and lowered the height of its horn.
Xie Sen quickly ran over and gestured according to A Dan's instructions. It was about ten centimeters long. "This much is enough!"
Yan Qi's face relaxed a little bit. He clenched the hilt of his saber and stood still for a while. His eyes became firm. He raised his hand and cut off the rhino's horn. When he held it in his hand, his face changed as he sized it up with astonishment.
Xie Sen stretched out his hand. "Give it to me."
Yan Qi hesitated. The Flying Rhinoceros raised its head and knocked him towards Xie Sen. He staggered two steps and looked at Xie Sen in surprise. He handed the horn to him.
A Dan was excited. "Awesome!"
Xie Sen felt the temperature of the peony on his right shoulder rise. The heat from the horn in his palm reached his shoulder and surged with energy.
Soon, the peony calmed down and the red horn turned silver-gray.
He thought for a moment and handed the horn to Yan Qi. "Keep it as a souvenir!"
Yan Qi's expression changed slightly. He cautiously took it and carefully put it in his backpack.
The Flying Rhinoceros stood up from the ground and roared at Yan Qi. Its roar was low and filled with fighting spirit.
Young Master Qi and the others' expressions changed. They were happy and worried.
MeiIn held Xie Sen and retreated. Only the Flying Rhinoceros and Yan Qi were left in the open space.
After a while, a layer of sweat appeared on Yan Qi's forehead. His cheeks tightened and his face gradually turned red. After a while, his face turned pale. His legs went soft and he half knelt on the ground.
"Moo ~" The Flying Rhinoceros roared at Xie Sen. Xie Sen didn't understand what it meant. He walked closer and stroked its belly.
"He's not bad." The Flying Rhinoceros's voice came from his mind. Xie Sen was surprised. Hadn't the energy been absorbed?
A Dan explained, "It was affected by the energy. The energy is now in your body. If you stay close to it, you can communicate with it."
At this time, an eagle's cry came from above. He raised his head and saw the Flying Rhinoceros circling in the air, looking to his right.
After a while, the Giant Tiger Beast and two Giant Elephants appeared from his right and ran directly towards the Flying Rhinoceros.
Xie Sen had a flash of inspiration and blinked his eyes. "According to you, these beasts were also affected by the energy. If I stay close to them, I can also communicate with them?"
"Yes." A Dan said affirmatively.
Xie Sen looked at the Flying Rhinoceros, then looked at the Giant Tiger Beast and the Giant Elephant Beast. Why did he feel that they were a bit cool?
