Chapter 266 How to Capture Flying Mounts

"How many flying mounts are here?" Nie Yan asked Knight's Elegy.

"There are three. Most of the flying mounts have been taken away," Knight's Elegy replied. Most of the front-line team members who owned flying mounts had already transferred, so only three were left.

"Have them search the skies for flying mounts in this area and report back to me. We'll start capturing them," Nie Yan said.

Knight's Elegy was stunned. Capture flying mounts? How? However, he didn't doubt Nie Yan's words. He had the three flying mounts in the guild take off and search for flying creatures active in the vicinity.

"Find some people to chop wood and get some logs."

Under Nie Yan's arrangements, the players of Asskickers United busied themselves. Some players gathered materials on the spot and made simple cages, planting them in the open space, while other players were scattered in the nearby open space, responsible for guarding. They were all wondering what Nie Yan was trying to do.

About half an hour later, everything was ready. Nie Yan went to the open space and summoned Darkwing. After so long, Darkwing's minor injuries had recovered.

Darkwing's appearance immediately attracted everyone's attention. The gigantic Darkwing was full of imposing momentum, its entire body covered with gray-black scales, reflecting a dark luster, as if cast from steel.

"Boss Nirvana, it seems like Darkwing has grown a lot."

"It didn't seem to have scales before."

The Asskickers United players couldn't help but exclaim. The last time Nie Yan fought the flying mounts of the Mage League, Darkwing had already made a name for himself. Now, seeing Darkwing up close, they once again felt a deep shock.

"It advanced," Nie Yan said with a faint smile.

The Asskickers United players were stunned for a moment. Darkwing advanced? They remembered that Darkwing was already a Rank 6 creature before it advanced. Now that it had advanced, wouldn't it be Rank 7?

It seemed that apart from Darkwing, the highest-ranked flying mount they had seen was only Rank 5.

Nie Yan was a legend. Everything about him, including Golden Earth Dragon, Darkwing, Sword of Zennarde, and so on, was talked about.

There was a ranking on the official website. The top spots in the pet, flying mount, and weapon rankings were undoubtedly Golden Earth Dragon, Darkwing, and Sword of Zennarde.

Looking at Darkwing, everyone marveled. At this moment, Nie Yan received a message that a wind serpent had been found in the south.

Nie Yan straddled Darkwing's back. Darkwing flapped its wings and flew towards the south.

A few minutes later, an Asskickers United player riding a Poisonous Dragon Fly greeted them.

"Boss Nirvana."

"Bei Tian, where's the wind serpent?" Nie Yan asked.

Bei Tian pointed in a direction. Nie Yan looked over. In the clouds, a huge wind serpent was coiled around a large tree. It was much larger than an ordinary wind serpent, its whole body covered with mottled patterns, its wings transparent like a dragonfly's. There was also a nest on the tree, with two giant white eggs on it.

Nie Yan raised an eyebrow. It was actually a Rank 5 wind serpent, and it was buy-one-get-two-free. This was a good deal.

To obtain a flying mount, one way was to obtain the flying mount's egg and find a beast tamer to hatch it. Another way was to directly tame the flying creature, but the second way was more difficult, unless you could completely control the flying creature, otherwise it was impossible. Flying creatures were extremely lethal. During the taming process, it wouldn't obediently listen.

"Remember to collect the two wind serpent eggs after I catch the wind serpent," Nie Yan said, riding Darkwing closer to the wind serpent in the distance.

"Yes," Bei Tian responded. He wondered how Nie Yan was going to catch the wind serpent.

Sensing Darkwing's approach, the wind serpent immediately raised its head vigilantly, its eyes staring at Darkwing and Nie Yan, spitting out its red tongue and making a warning sound.

Darkwing let out a low dragon roar. This low-level wind serpent dared to provoke its dragon might. The powerful dragon might swept out like a storm.

The wind serpent's momentum immediately weakened, looking a little frightened, but it still refused to leave the treetop.

Nie Yan jumped off Darkwing and landed on the ground. After entering stealth, he quickly approached the wind serpent and climbed the tree.

After Nie Yan advanced to Shadow Dancer, his hidden attributes had greatly improved, so the wind serpent didn't notice Nie Yan's presence. It focused all its attention on Darkwing in the sky.

Nie Yan suddenly jumped up, his body flashed past, aiming at the wind serpent's neck, and swept out with his foot. With a bang, the wind serpent's neck was heavily kicked and flew out.

Stun effect!

Nie Yan's sneak attack was obviously quite effective. After training in the Ancient World for so long, his fighting skills were very precise. He could easily deal with ordinary Rank 5 or 6 creatures.

As the wind serpent was about to get up, Nie Yan used Spinal Tap, attacking the wind serpent's back. Two bone spurs appeared in his hand, and he stabbed them fiercely into the wind serpent's body. With two sounds, the two bone spurs pierced into the flesh. Unless the flesh was cut open with a dagger, there was no way to dig out these two bone spurs.

These two bone spurs greatly restricted the wind serpent's movements, preventing it from moving freely.

Before the wind serpent could make any movements, Nie Yan used the skill on the Webweave Scroll. A giant net fell from the sky, shrouding the wind serpent and binding it tightly.

Nie Yan controlled Darkwing to descend from the sky, grabbed the net, flapped its wings and flew up, picking up the wind serpent.

Nie Yan sat on Darkwing's back and commanded Darkwing to fly towards the location of the Asskickers United players.

At this time, the Asskickers United players were gathered together discussing how Nie Yan was going to capture flying creatures.

Due to the use of Mist Dispersion, the field of vision was relatively wide. They saw Darkwing appear in the distant sky.

"Boss Nirvana is back."

"Look, Darkwing seems to be dragging something back."

After a while, they finally saw clearly that Darkwing was carrying a wind serpent in its claws. The wind serpent was trapped in the net and couldn't move.

They were all very surprised at how Nie Yan had done it. Controlling a flying creature was not an easy task. Some people had used similar methods to trap flying mounts with Webweave, but their webs were broken by the flying creatures in an instant. What they didn't know was that Nie Yan was using the enhanced Webweave Ring. Nie Yan would never reveal this secret. If it was known by guilds like Angel Corps, many guilds would search for the Webweave Ring everywhere. Maybe they would really get it. After all, the Webweave Ring was not unique.

Nie Yan let Darkwing descend slowly, put the wind serpent into the cage, and then the Asskickers United players closed the cage. This cage seemed sturdy, but it couldn't trap flying creatures at all. However, the wind serpent had two bone spurs nailed into its body, plus the web, and then a cage. The wind serpent basically couldn't escape.

"Knight, you tame this wind serpent," Nie Yan said, looking at Knight's Elegy.

"Me? No need, let others go first," Knight's Elegy quickly shook his head.

"Come quickly, stop talking nonsense. Others will have their turn later," Nie Yan said in an unquestionable tone.

Knight's Elegy didn't dare to disobey Nie Yan's words. He walked to the side of the cage and began to tame the wind serpent. Under normal circumstances, it would take one or two hours to tame a flying creature into one's own, and even half a day if one was unlucky.

In addition to this wind serpent, Bei Tian handed the two wind serpent eggs to Nie Yan. Nie Yan distributed the two wind serpent eggs to the more loyal players with good strength below. Of course, to obtain a flying mount, one had to sign a contract with Asskickers United. There was no other way. After all, flying mounts were guild resources. If ordinary players got flying mounts and then quit the guild, wouldn't Asskickers United lose out? Every guild had similar rules, so the rules set by Nie Yan were not harsh.

Nie Yan continued to capture flying creatures. One flying creature after another was locked in the cages. After about two hours, one of the Asskickers United players successfully tamed a flying mount. The wind serpent that Knight's Elegy was taming was a Rank 5 creature, so it took longer to tame.

All day long, Nie Yan was helping the players of Asskickers United get flying mounts. The harvest was more than he had imagined. He got a total of thirty-six flying mounts, three of which were Rank 5 flying mounts. Most of these flying creatures were transported here with the Webweave Ring, so the injuries they sustained were relatively minor. Some simply had many bone spurs nailed all over their bodies and were carried back by Darkwing's claws. After these flying creatures were tamed into mounts, they would be sent back to the guild's beast tamers for treatment. Some needed one or two days, and some needed at least five or six days to recover.

One flying mount after another was tamed by the players of Asskickers United, and the team of flying mounts of Asskickers United gradually grew.

Near dusk, Nie Yan received a message from Xie Yao that Xie Yao's phoenix had also hatched. Asskickers United had another Rank 6 creature.

He didn't know what Xie Yao's phoenix was like. He would have to wait for Xie Yao to transfer back to know. He didn't know what happened to Xie Yao during the transfer that caused her to hatch the phoenix.

During this period, Nie Yan accidentally killed a Rank 4 flying mount, which made his heart ache. Picking up the items dropped by that flying mount, Nie Yan found that it was actually a good thing.

Crossbow Weapon Improvement Scheme Blueprint: Sub Legendary-grade.

A series of patterns were drawn on it. After learning this blueprint, crossbow weapons could be improved, greatly increasing their attack and attributes. Nie Yan immediately thought of his Headless Horseman Drollo's Horseback Crossbow. The attack of his Headless Horseman Drollo's Horseback Crossbow was already very low, but he had not found a suitable crossbow, so he could only give up. If he could improve the horseback crossbow, he wouldn't need to look for other crossbows.
