บท 7: Bird Legs
"What are we gonna do now?" an almost desperate cry came out of Ying Yue's voice as she looked at the hopeless situation they were in now
After leaving the city and started heading towards Yon City, the calm journey didn't last more than few minutes before they ended up getting chased by a flock of strange birds, having to hide in a building by the main street to save themselves.
They have already waited for an hour hidden inside, but the birds were still circling in the air around .
The idea to fight back swiftly passed through his mind but just as quickly it disappeared. Fighting against those? If they managed to scratch it would already be good, but they'd die before they even touched a feather!
Cold sweat appeared on Wang Tao's face dripping like a waterfall as he thought about the informations he got from the panel when he looked at them.
"Carnivore Three-Legged Bird, level 6. - It enjoys playing with it's prey while pecking thousands of holes onto the body of the person before eating the brain.'
''To be damned.." cursed Wang Tao in his mind
He was still level one, while old man Zhang, Ying Yue and Fire have already reached level 2. What he didn't understand was the reason why he is still level 1 despite killing the frogs and even the goblin! Even Ying Yue without any power has already achieved that! After leveling up, old man Zhang and Ying Yue each got 3 unallocated points for their status. Thinking about it, he has received +3 points in all his status points after getting the Beast Tamer class, which was ten times the points they had!
'This has to be explored at a latter date...' though Wang Hao to himself as he shook his head. They still haven't escaped danger, he mustn't be distracted.
Perplexed he looked around the room, just to find stuff that will never be able to help them out of this situation.
A low sigh escaped through his mouth as he went to the drawn curtains, taking a peek outside before closing it in an instant. A bird's vision was ten times greater than a humans since they could even see a moving mouse theough the grass from a killometer away! Putting his hands through his pockets, a bullet unintentionally fell on the floor.
Seeing the bullet, an idea suddenly struck him! Fire Ammunition and the Fireball Skill old man Zhang and Fire had! In ancient times, people always used torches and fires to protect themselves from wild beasts, it might actually work!
Taking his pistol, he immediately unloaded the remaining Normal Ammunition he had, before he loaded the 7 Fire Bullets! Only seven shots!
Old man Zhang and Ying Yue looked curiously at Wang Tao as they wondered what the red painted bullets were!
Feeling the curious gazes directed at the red bullets, Wang Tao smiled before softly saying "Fire Ammunition!"
The answer stunned both of them as they looked at the bullets! It was actually fire bullets! They knew what that meant, as long as the bullet reached it's target it would be engulfed into a fire! A living torch!
Excited, both of them looked as Wang Tao approached the window curtains as he took another look outside.
A plan was swiftly formulated in his head before turning to look at Ying Yue and old man Zhang.
"I only have 7 Fire Bullets, this won't be enough! Old man, you and Fire will assist me with Fireballs, Ying Yue, take cover and hide, you won't be able to help this time. Once i open the curtain, don't aim at their heads , try to hit their wings!" said Wang Tao sternly, making the old man nod his head solemnly
A non-flying bird was just a punching target! Nothing more!
After getting the agreement from old man Zhang and seeing Ying Yue quickly hiding under the bed holding her knife nervously, Wang Tao slightly relaxed. Turning to look at the Mastiff that followed him since it was a small pup, a myriad of emotions flashed through His eyes.
"Fire, we will need your help. The moment i open the curtain and the window, try to shoot a Fireball at one of the bird's wings, okay?" spoke Wang Tao softly looking at Fire as it tilted it's head looking at him with a questioning gaze
"Looks like we can only count on ourselves...." thought Wang Tao to himself. Fire's intelligence has increased by 2 earlier, but it might still be too hard for him to understand everything.
Taking down the curtains and pushing open the windows in one swift movement, Wang Tao immediately aimed at one of the birds.
Bang!
As the bullet hit the bird's wings, it immediately was engulfed in a fiery fire. Shocked, the bird flapped it's wings desperately to put out the fire, but to no results. The fire spread from the wings before the whole bird turned into a fire torch lighting up the sky.
awoo!awoooooo!
Screeches from the other birds resounded in the air, as some of them started fleeing from the unexpected attack only leaving a few brave birds. As soon as these birds spotted Wang Tao at the window, with a swoop they dived straight to the window.
Old man Zhang's Fireball was finally conjured as there was a slight delay before he could form a flame, the birds were already only a few meters away from the window!
Cold sweat appeared on his back, before he released the Fireball. As soon as it hit the bird, the same situation happened just like the last one. It was swiftly engulfed into flames. Losing control of the flight, the bird fell straight into the wall like a bug hitting a car, before falling on the floor like a broken doll, where only it's twitches could be seen.
At the same time, Wang Tao shot his remaining bullets, hitting another 4 birds, as they turned into flying torches. Now, after shooting all the bullets, he managed to hit 5 birds while 2 bullets missed the targets. Afterall, he has only learned basic shooting at military school in the past, it could be nowhere close to being a skilled shooter, that could get 100% accuracy for every shot. It was already good enough, however.
The burning birds screeches lasted for another few seconds before they slowly fell to the ground just like the others. As the other birds watched the situation develop to that level, deep hatred could be seen from their gazes before fleeing away.
Now, only one bird was left in the sky. As Wang Tao looked closely at it, he could find some major differences between this one and the other ones. It was half a meter big, with a very long beak just like knife.
Information quickly flowed inside his head as he looked at the bird.
"Carnivore Three-Legged Bird (Elite) level 9 – As the bird got stronger, it finally evolved into a stronger being. It's strenght is almost double as a normal Carnivore Three Legged Bird and it has the ability to command a small group of it's kin. It is only inferior to the chief of the Carnivore Three-Legged Birds"
Hopelessness appeared on Wang Tao's face as he looked at the information.
"Damn. This is gonna be a tough fight.." a wry smile appeared on their faces as they looked at each other
woof! Woof!
As they heard the barking, they saw Fire's eyes sparkling as he looked at the bird, saliva dropping down from it's mouth as a wide and playful grin could be seen on his face.
A sudden voice could be heard in Wang Tao's mind, as he looked perplexedly at Fire.
"Bird legs...taste good......."
Then, the familiar telepathic voice of the system could be heard in his mind.
"Your familiar's intelligence has increased by 1 point."
