Chapter 10: A pair of long legs
If you can't figure it out, don't think about it, this is Wang Xingjiang's consistent approach.
Soon he didn't bother with the unreasonableness in the game, but picked up a piece of gold and weighed it, after all, Wang Xingjiang had never seen such a large piece of gold, just to satisfy his curiosity and vanity. "It's really heavy, but unfortunately there's nowhere to spend it, it's completely useless to me." Then he sighed and threw the gold down and went on his way, and then he thought that he had spent a lot of money, and his heart rejoiced again.
This journey was very quiet, and there was no mess to worry about, which made Wang Xingjiang very satisfied, yesterday's experience was too exciting, and his heart as a small otaku was a little unbearable.
Because they didn't look for supplies carefully, one man and one dragon traveled very quickly, and it didn't take long for them to walk a few thousand meters. After that, Wang Xingjiang saw the traces of the road from a distance, and he hurriedly called the little fire dragon excitedly to rush to the direction of the road.
When you look closer, as expected, it's the same kind of path with obvious traces of artificial construction as in the game. Then the best situation now is to be able to find the pig king along this road, which is much more convenient.
But Wang Xingjiang then remembered how bad his luck was and how pitted the roads in the famine game were. Then this road is still closed in some places, and it is purely a pit man, and if you don't follow the road, you won't know what will happen next.
But unfortunately, the time is not early, the sun is almost overhead, and if you want to rush back to the camp, you have to prepare for the return journey immediately, and now the supplies are not enough, so you can only give up the exploration and come back next time.
So since it was noon, he ate and then went back, Wang Xingjiang put down the bag, collected the broken stones next to him, added the wood in the bag, and then let the little fire dragon have a flame, a simple campfire was ready, and then he picked up the prepared wooden skewers and skewered the carrots and began to squat and roast. Looking at the carrot in his hand, Wang Xingjiang, who was not happy with meat, secretly decided that he would have to hunt a rabbit to open meat tomorrow.
At the same time, the little fire dragon didn't feel hungry because it didn't use much skills on the rocky ground and was eating all the way, so it didn't stare at the carrot like last night, but ran around Wang Xingjiang happily to vent its excess energy. Wang Xingjiang was also happy to see the little fire dragon so cheerful, which made him feel that he was not alone, so he let the little fire dragon play around.
As the carrots gradually roasted, the fragrance wafted out, and Wang Xingjiang paid more attention to it, this time it can't be baked anymore, otherwise it will be humiliating and the taste will be poor. The little fire dragon was also attracted by the fragrance, although it was not hungry, but it did not delay its eating, so it also sat down by the fire and waited for the meal.
However, the diffuse fragrance also attracted an uninvited guest, a tall bird. It also smelled the scent, a rare scent that made the stilt bird crawl up from its nest, and it looked at its eggs and decided to find the source of the scent, after all, it had already eaten all the prey that was easy to catch nearby, making it much more difficult to hunt. If it's food delivered to your door, there's no reason not to eat it.
The stilt bird followed the scent past a number of rocks and found its target, a large and a small creature that had never been seen at all, but the scent came from the carrot next to the fire in the middle. The stilt didn't think much of it, and immediately decided to hunt all of its prey in the same way as it normally would, so that it could eat for as long as it could, and it didn't mind eating carrion anyway.
The stilt bird begins to slowly approach its prey, and although its feet are huge, the sound of landing is barely audible, which is a characteristic of their population and a magic weapon for their predation. Already approaching the range of the attack, the stilt began to bend its legs, ready to pounce on the big prey first.
The little fire dragon waited for the meal to be served, but it suddenly smelled a strange smell, and when it looked up, a monster appeared behind its owner, and it was approaching quickly. The little fire dragon hurriedly spewed out flames, and he didn't care if it would hurt Wang Xingjiang, but fortunately, this time it was properly controlled, and Wang Xingjiang also dodged safely, and all the flames burned on the monster.
Wang Xingjiang was originally roasting carrots, which were ready to be eaten immediately, which made Wang Xingjiang's attention more concentrated. However, the little fire dragon was suddenly a flame, so frightened that he quickly turned around and sat down on the ground, and then a black shadow rushed in front of his eyes.
The black shadow dispersed the campfire and fell to the ground, and the still burning wood was scattered to the ground.
Wang Xingjiang hurriedly threw off the things in his hand, picked up his sword, and then began to look for the traces of the little fire dragon. Fortunately, the little fire dragon was very nimble enough to dodge all objects, and was now screaming angrily at the black shadow. Wang Xingjiang, who was relieved, began to look at the black shadow that disturbed their meal, and he wanted to observe what it was.
As a result, as soon as he saw the two long legs, Wang Xingjiang knew what was coming, he was really unlucky, the first mining area he saw actually had stilted birds, and he really couldn't explore in peace.
Wang Xingjiang stepped forward with his sword to prepare for it, but at this time the tall bird began to struggle to get up, because its strength was very strong, dust, gravel and wood were all blown up by it, Wang Xingjiang and the little fire dragon could not all dodge, but they were not injured because of this, but only brought a lot of pain. But he missed the opportunity to deliver the fatal blow to the tall bird before it could get up.
The tall bird that stood up with long legs was taller than Wang Xingjiang, and it was really a monster, this was Wang Xingjiang's first reaction, he hurriedly blocked in front of the little fire dragon, and then found that the condition of this tall bird did not seem to be very good.
The huge eyes of the tall bird have been burned by the small fire dragon and the fire, and many transparent parts have turned white, eighty percent of them are blind, and the feathers on the lower part of the body have also been rubbed off a lot, and the exposed parts are also blurred with flesh and blood. This fall was so miserable, Wang Xingjiang even sympathized with this stilted bird a little, but this stilted bird suddenly attacked at this time and pecked at him.
Fortunately, Wang Xingjiang reacted in time and blocked the attacking bird's beak with his sword. When the sword collided with the bird's beak, there was a sound of gold and iron intersecting, and Wang Xingjiang was also hit by this peck and took a few steps back. Seeing this, the little fire dragon immediately attacked with flames, but this time it was not very effective, and the flames did not burn on the stilt bird's feathers before they were extinguished, but this also absorbed the stilt bird's attention to the little fire dragon.
The stilt bird immediately began to peck frantically at the little fire dragon, and for some reason, it was blind but it was still able to find the location of the little fire dragon. Fortunately, the little fire dragon is small and very flexible, so it was not pecked, but it was also full of dangers, just just to avoid it, and obviously it couldn't last long.
However, Wang Xingjiang didn't just watch the play, he immediately ran with a sword, and slashed it down, hitting the left thigh of the tall bird, but it was still a sound of gold and iron, and this leg actually completely withstood it! The stilt bird turned to attack back, Wang Xingjiang squatted down, dodged the blow, and then slammed forward, knocking the stilt bird down, and got up after rolling over on the ground, while the stilt bird fell to the ground forward because of the center of gravity.
Wang Xingjiang was about to step forward to mend the knife, but the tall bird struggled desperately with his old tricks, stirring up a large amount of gravel and dust to hinder his attack, Wang Xingjiang ignored the pain of the gravel hitting his body, approached and swung a sword, but because the dust was blind, he missed it, and failed to hit the eyeball, but only cut off a wing.
One hit missed, Wang Xingjiang hurriedly stepped back and began to rub his eyes, hoping to recover his eyesight as soon as possible, and the little fire dragon also rushed to Wang Xingjiang's side at this time to do the guard work, and at the same time, he was constantly using screams to weaken the tall bird.
When Wang Xingjiang regained his sight, he found that the stilted bird was still struggling and screaming on the ground, and did not succeed in getting up. Seeing that the dust was still dispersing, Wang Xingjiang did not give up the opportunity to attack, and let the little fire dragon continue to use the scream, and at the same time he kept picking up the stones around him and smashing them in the direction of the stilt bird, but unfortunately the hit rate was not high, and occasionally there was a piece to make the stilt bird stop screaming, which was better than nothing.
Soon, the stilt bird's struggle stopped, and the dust also fell, and then Wang Xingjiang could take a good look at the situation.
Wang Xingjiang asked the little fire dragon to stop his skills and stepped forward, the tall bird could only twitch slowly, the edge of its beak was bleeding continuously, and the feathers on its body were rubbed off a lot, and its whole body was covered with a lot of dust.
Without thinking about anything else, Wang Xingjiang went straight forward, raised his sword and stabbed it directly at his eyes, directly piercing the ground. The stilt bird also completely stopped twitching at this point and remained motionless.
At this time, Wang Xingjiang, who was exhausted, sat on the ground and began to gasp for breath, and at the same time spoke directly: "NTM can't let me have a good meal?!" ”
Then a thunderbolt flashed in the sky, and Wang Xingjiang fell to the ground in response.
