Chapter 8: Attacked on the Road, Mission Completed

Looking up, he saw two long-billed birds the size of a human head circling in the sky. Are these the ornithischians? Zhang Xiaobai wanted to check the properties of the ornithischians, but there was no system prompt. Bugs Bunny in his schoolbag was so scared that he didn't even dare to speak.

This is a bit like a real woodpecker, except that its feathers are all black, its claws are hooked and look very sharp, and its entire beak is almost as long as its body, with a slight luster on the black beak.

"Myna, can you hypnotize people? Why are you so scared?" Zhang Xiaobai said.

"My hypnosis is only effective on ordinary wild beasts. It has little effect on monsters of this level, and I can only use this ability once in a short period of time." Bugs Bunny whispered.

The two birds above my head seemed to be communicating something, and they kept chirping, which made people feel uneasy just by listening to it.

Zhang Xiaobai increased his cycling speed, and the two birds kept following him. As if seeing him trying to escape, one of the ornithischians swooped down and pecked at Zhang Xiaobai's head.

Fortunately, Bugs Bunny was watching from behind and reminded Zhang Xiaobai to dodge the attack when the Ornithologist swooped down. When the Ornithologist saw Bugs Bunny in the schoolbag, he realized that he had to get rid of the rabbit first, otherwise it would be difficult to get rid of the human.

Zhang Xiaobai was also thinking about how to deal with the ornithischians in front of him. He had to lure them down. Although Bugs Bunny said they were very powerful, it seemed that their strengths were only in their mouths and claws. He just needed to avoid these two places! He turned around and stared at the ornithischians. This time the system information appeared.

[Birdbill: A first-level monster that likes to peck people. It’s not just its mouth that’s powerful! ]

It seems that in order to obtain information about items, one must be within a certain distance. Just as the ornithologist dived towards Bugs Bunny behind him again, Zhang Xiaobai stopped suddenly. The ornithologist did not expect Zhang Xiaobai to stop, and did not brake at all, and hit the schoolbag behind Zhang Xiaobai.

Its sharp beak pierced through the schoolbag and into Zhang Xiaobai's back. Fortunately, it did not hurt Bugs Bunny in the backpack. Zhang Xiaobai grimaced in pain, but this was the moment he had been waiting for. Before the bird's beak could be pulled out, Zhang Xiaobai grabbed it with his backhand.

Unexpectedly, such a small bird was so strong. Zhang Xiaobai's strength is now three times that of a normal adult male, but he almost failed to catch it and it slipped away. Zhang Xiaobai immediately grabbed its head with his other hand, but was accidentally scratched by its claws. Three deep wounds that could be seen to the bone appeared on his arm.

Ignoring the pain, Zhang Xiaobai twisted his hands hard, and with a click, the ornithologist in his hand stopped struggling.

[Congratulations to the player for killing the bird-beaked beast and gaining 5 experience points]

[Are you sure you want to convert 20% of Avialon's health for your own use? ]

20%? Could it be that the conversion ratio has also increased after the conversion ability has been upgraded to the intermediate level? Zhang Xiaobai chose to confirm without a doubt, and only felt a tingling sensation on the wounds on his back and arms.

The other ornithischian above saw that its other half was killed, and it chirped even more urgently, and swooped down directly. Zhang Xiaobai threw the ornithischian to the ground and shouted, "Myna, find an opportunity to use your ability when it rushes down."

Bugs Bunny then realized that the ornithologist had just brushed against his fur, passed through his schoolbag and stabbed into his brother's back, scaring him so much that he was stunned.

Seeing the Ornithomax fluttering in front of Zhang Xiaobai and trying to find an opportunity to attack Zhang Xiaobai, Bugs Bunny decisively used his ability. A circle of invisible light waves emanated from its head. Suddenly, the Ornithomax felt his head sinking and he felt sleepy, and fell directly to the ground.

Zhang Xiaobai seized the opportunity and stepped on its long beak. The ornithologist woke up instantly and flapped its wings desperately to fly. But Zhang Xiaobai was not willing to give it this chance and stepped hard on its head and body with his other foot.

[Congratulations to the player for killing the bird-beaked beast and gaining 5 experience points]

Zhang Xiaobai heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the system reminder. He chose to convert his qi and blood again, then picked up the copper coins that fell on the ground. Before he had time to check his wounds, he only felt the earth trembling slightly.

Earthquake? Zhang Xiaobai raised his head, only to see a six or seven meter tall man running towards him.

"Boy, you dare to kill my pet! I will kill you!" The voice came before the giant arrived. Although the pronunciation was not Chinese, Zhang Xiaobai understood it. This is the function of automatic translation of the system.

"Dead Tree Giant?" Bugs Bunny in the schoolbag said weakly after using his ability.

"Run, run, you're really dead now!"

As the giant approached, Zhang Xiaobai saw the other party's message.

[Deadwood Giants: Intelligent race, immensely powerful]

【Level: 15】

"Damn! There are levels. Could it be the boss of this area?" Zhang Xiaobai didn't have time to think about it. He picked up the corpse of an ornithologist, put it in his backpack, and ran away immediately.

It’s not that I don’t want to pick up another ornithologist, it’s just that the schoolbag can’t fit it and Bugs Bunny has to stay in it.

Zhang Xiaobai pedaled the bicycle desperately, but he didn't expect that the giant's speed was not slower than the bicycle. The distance between them was shrinking, 50 meters, 40 meters. If he continued like this, he would be caught up sooner or later. Zhang Xiaobai's brain was working quickly, and suddenly he remembered that he still had an [Item Upgrade Drawing], so he chose to use it on the bicycle without any hesitation.

The consumption of metal was 0.2, rubber 0.1, and plastic 0.02. He only felt the bicycle beneath him become lighter, the handlebars turned into downward-bent metal rods, the seat was raised, the back seat disappeared, and he had to lie flat on his stomach to continue riding forward.

Zhang Xiaobai only felt that the bicycle was much easier to pedal, and the speed was greatly improved. Has it become a competitive bicycle? Suddenly, a scream and roar came from behind.

"Damn human! Don't let me catch you, I'm going to chew you up!"

Looking back, Zhang Xiaobai saw that the mat and mace that were originally tied to the back seat were gone. He felt heartbroken. That was money! The scream just now must have been because the giant stepped on his mace.

The giant indeed paused after his exclamation. Zhang Xiaobai did not dare to stop and continued to accelerate. The giant chased again, but found that he could not catch up with the human in front of him. He could only shout in panic.

Zhang Xiaobai did not dare to relax until half an hour later when he could no longer hear the giant's roar. He stopped to catch his breath. At this time, Zhang Xiaobai's legs were trembling a little, probably because he had exerted too much force just now.

"Boss, you're so awesome! We actually escaped!" Bugs Bunny had been living in fear all the way, and now he finally dared to jump out and speak.

Zhang Xiaobai felt the wound on his back. It had already scabbed over, but he still felt a dull pain from the tense muscles and excessive exertion just now. Fortunately, he had his schoolbag and clothes in between, otherwise he might have been pecked to death by the ornithologist. He looked at the three scratches on his arm. Although they had already scabbed over, he still took out a pill of antibiotic and swallowed it dry.

He threw another carrot to Bugs Bunny. If Bugs Bunny hadn't stunned the second ornithologist, he wouldn't have been able to kill it with one strike, and he might have been caught up by the giant. In fact, the carrot had always been in the backpack, but without Zhang Xiaobai's permission, Bugs Bunny didn't dare to eat it casually, as if there was some kind of power restraining Bugs Bunny's behavior.

Zhang Xiaobai glanced at his personal dashboard again:

[Level: 5 (35/50)]

【Strength: 3.2】

[Stamina: 4.8]

[Brainpower: 1.4]

[Skills: Primary Driving, Primary Cooking, Intermediate Conversion]

【主线任务:24小时内前行50km(倒计时:06:30:24,当前进度:35km)】

His physical strength increased by 0.4, which should be from the conversion of the qi and blood of the two birds. Besides, he only needed about an hour to complete the task. Zhang Xiaobai looked at the raw materials in his backpack again: wood 1.0, metal 0.3, plastic 0.18, glass 0.1, cloth 0.2, charcoal 0.1; he had just used up all the rubber, but there were still a lot of other materials left.

He subconsciously took out a cigarette and lit it, but found that this was the last one. After a little hesitation, Zhang Xiaobai still chose to smoke it. Looking at the smoke rings in front of him, Zhang Xiaobai felt a little palpitated. He was finally alive!

Thinking back to the past, was it too easy? What did I do during my four years in college? Except for occasionally going out with Meng Shuangshuang, I usually played games in the dormitory. Did I really love playing games that much? This real-life game didn't seem that fun...

As the ash fell to the ground, Zhang Xiaobai looked at the sun above his head. It should be noon now. The sun above his head was hotter than before. The escape just now made him sweat profusely. Fortunately, he had just killed two ornithologists and got 10 copper coins. He spent 5 copper coins to buy 100 ml of water. His stomach began to growl again.

Zhang Xiaobai took out the ornithologist from his backpack, cut it open with a Swiss Army knife, picked up some dead hornbeam branches and started a fire. He prepared to have lunch like this, while Bugs Bunny ran to the bushes to eat the newly grown grass.

I don’t know what happened for half a day. The chat area seemed to be full of pessimism. Didn’t someone show off his scooter in the morning?

"Mom...I want to go home. This game is not fun at all."

"Brother, can you give me some food and water? I can put on a show for you."

"Has anyone completed the game mission? Can you tell me what the reward is? I can't hold on any longer."

...

Zhang Xiaobai was watching the area chat, wondering whether he should complete the task first. After all, he only needed an hour to complete the task, and he also wanted to know what the reward for completing the task was.

He did what he said, quickly dealt with the ornithologist, put Bugs Bunny into his schoolbag, and set off immediately.

This time the progress was very smooth. The dead horn trees on both sides of the road kept retreating. Zhang Xiaobai did not look to see if there were treasures such as wooden boxes in the bushes on both sides, but just moved forward.

[Ding, congratulations on completing the main mission, and you will be rewarded with a KFC family bucket]

[Ding, congratulations to the player for completing the main quest ahead of schedule, and reward: 1 personal copy]

As the system prompt sounded, Zhang Xiaobai stopped his bicycle, but Zhang Xiaobai didn't pay attention to the prompt that the task was completed. A building suddenly appeared in front of him, completely occupying the entire road. The building has five floors and is overall red in color. The wooden glass windows are painted yellow, giving people a sense of age.

Looking at the familiar building in front of him, Zhang Xiaobai thought of his high school days. Isn't this the building where he went to high school? How did it suddenly appear here? Is this a personal copy?
