Chapter 511: Chapter 236: Survival Instinct, Begging for Mercy on Knees!_1

In the forest, the cries of the giant birds grew more desperate.

They were panicking!

Their claws, both large and sharp like iron hooks, would tear apart any animal they grabbed, resulting in skin split and flesh gaping.

Humans, if struck even once, would either die or be severely injured, losing all combat ability.

But for Muscle Buddha, those claw attacks were like tickling; he didn’t even bother to defend, thereby freeing up more strength to attack.

When the giant birds swooped down to strike, his fists swung, and the sky was filled with feathers scattering in all directions.

Muscle Buddha’s fists were not to be trifariously underestimated—with one hit, the giant birds, like planes hit by bullets, would plummet straight down.

Lin Baici quickly followed up, swinging his torch like hitting a home run; it not only hit the giant birds but also ignited them instantly.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Balls of fire rose, and within seconds, burned down to clumps of ash.

The intelligence of these giant birds was not low, or perhaps their hunting instincts were strong; they quickly changed tactics, avoiding Muscle Buddha to attack Lin Baici.

Yet Muscle Buddha, with his extraordinary height and reach, shielded Lin Baici’s head, back, and both sides of his body. Lin Baici just needed to guard the front, but he devised a strategy to have Muscle Buddha only defend the rear.

Sure enough, the giant birds came from the front and above. Lin Baici, with a torch in his right hand, brought out trails of flaming dragons with every swing, lighting up the gloomy forest.

This Taboo thing truly proved to be an excellent weapon for murder and arson, especially against these life forms, with enormous lethality. The only trouble was being careful not to get hit by the flailing, ignited giant birds.

Lin Baici went on a killing spree, and since flames naturally intimidated birds, the relentless attacks of these creatures soon dwindled to a few desperate strays that fled into the sky.

Actually, at this point, the Clay Human could have ambushed them, cooking them all in one fell swoop, but he decided against it.

"Smart ones, better not come back!"

Humming a tune, Lin Baici continued to gather bird eggs. As long as a God Hunter’s combat ability reached a certain level, the difficulty of this level wouldn’t be the threat of monsters, but rather finding clues.

What exactly was the use of these bird eggs?

Lin Baici cracked one open and poured it into his mouth, swallowing it raw.

Wow! Such a strong fishy taste!

Lin Baici’s brows instantly knitted together.

...

Almost an hour had passed since Lin Baici left; everyone was getting anxious. Although they had just eaten and were not hungry, they were cold, and the sense of loneliness and panic in this unfamiliar environment was overwhelming, like a massive stone weighing on them, leaving them breathless.

"What if God Lin has left?"

The luxury-loving man was particularly anxious.

"Isn’t this Fat Bird Monster still here? God Lin said it had clues for passing the level on it."

Rocket brother hugged his arms, shivering with cold.

"But what if he was deceiving us, what then?"

Li Junsheng knew it was highly unlikely that Lin Baici would leave, but what if?

After all, he was the only strong support they had; without him, their death was certain.

"I think that if we want God Lin to think highly of us and receive his special attention, we need to obey his instructions, so I suggest we go and raid a few bird nests, at least one egg per person," Li Junsheng proposed.

"How about that?"

"Too dangerous!"

The luxury-loving man was unwilling to go. For anything that money could solve, he didn’t want to risk his life. Unfortunately, the man in the jacket had been pecked to death by the giant bird. Otherwise, he could have hired him with money.

Before they had come to an agreement, the fat bird monster nearby grew impatient. It felt like it had been deceived and turned its gaze towards these humans.

Ah woo ah woo!

The fat bird monster screamed, demanding that these people help it rob bird eggs.

"What’s it saying?"

"Is it asking when God Lin will return?"

"Or is it telling us to go get the bird eggs?"

Everyone was very afraid and started to back away. Without Lin Baici, they couldn’t suppress the creature.

"Don’t panic, God Lin will be back soon!"

Li Junsheng mustered his courage and shouted loudly, but it was no use. Seeing that the people weren’t moving, the fat bird monster immediately started to sprint, charging at them.

Ah woo ah woo!

With the monster charging, all the friends of Little Fairy panicked like ants scalded by boiling water, scattering in all directions.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

The fat bird monster was fast and got within seven or eight meters behind a young man, then suddenly accelerated and crashed into him like a cannonball.

Bang!

The unfortunate soul was hit in the lower back, tumbling forwards onto the ground. Before he could get up, he was smashed into the leaves and dirt by the large hand of the fat bird monster.

Ah woo ah woo!

The fat bird monster threatened, but then it saw the people scatter in every direction.

It grew angrier and smashed the human’s skull on the ground with a slap, then began to chase after the others.

In the jungle, a flight for survival ensued.

Everyone headed in the direction Lin Baici had left, hoping to quickly encounter him. Luckily, after running for a hundred meters or so, they suddenly saw Lin Baici appear ahead of them.

"God Lin!"

They cried with joy as if they had seen a savior.

Lin Baici started to run, passing by these people and heading straight for the fat bird monster.

The fat bird monster saw Lin Baici and was elated. Just as it was about to open its eyes wide to see how many bird eggs he had collected, a flying stone struck it in the left eye.

Bang!

The fat bird monster immediately let out a piteous cry of ’oh,’ and in the next moment, a bronze sword swept past its head, leaving a trail of blood on its face.

The fat bird monster was shocked and wanted to explain that it wasn’t an enemy and could show them how to get out of the bird forest. But then, an even larger human suddenly appeared beside it.

Uh!

It must be human, right?

This time, Muscle Buddha didn’t throw a punch for fear of killing the fat bird monster. Instead, his fan-like massive hand slapped the fat bird monster’s face.

Slap slap slap!

The sound of slaps was crisp; the fat bird monster’s head swung left and right, its fat cheeks jiggling.

"This monster is just for show!"

Xia Hongyao was speechless.

Thump!

The Fat Bird Monster actually knelt down, burying its head in the fallen leaves and soil. It wasn’t clear whether it had intuitively learned to kneel and beg for mercy, or if it was simply evading by pretending to be an ostrich.

Seeing this, everyone felt relieved and at the same time, envious.

This was just too powerful!

Everyone eyed Muscle Buddha, wishing they, too, had such a powerful servant.

Lin Baici walked up to the Fat Bird Monster and kicked its shoulder, "Hey, get up!"

Swish!

The Fat Bird Monster pulled its head out of the soil and then looked at Lin Baici, managing to squeeze out a smile with effort.

It was now somewhat torn, Should I run or not?

Lin Baici opened a stainless steel insulated lunch box and threw it in front of the Fat Bird Monster.

"Eat!"

The box was filled with over sixty bird eggs collected by him and Xia Hongyao.

Gah! Gah!

The Fat Bird Monster let out two cries and immediately grabbed a handful of eggs, throwing them into its mouth and starting to chew. As the ’fragrance’ of the egg liquid permeated its mouth, it revealed an intoxicated expression.

Everyone watched as Lin Baici disciplined the creature like one would train a dog, their admiration knew no bounds.

Lin Baici waited until the creature had a few bites and enjoyed itself before poking it with a stick, "Hey, tell me how to get out of here?"

Doesn’t understand?

No problem, just beat it up. Lin Baici believed that under survival instincts, the creature would understand what he wanted.

Gah! Gah!

The Fat Bird Monster started quacking like a duck and lifted a large chubby hand, pointing in the direction of 11 o’clock.

Everyone immediately looked over.

"Does it mean we should go this way?"

The luxury-seeking man was happy, there was hope now.

Because Lin Baici was there, they weren’t panicked, so they all came back.

"Let’s go!"

Lin Baici urged, and everyone obediently took action. However, after walking about ten meters, they noticed that Lin Baici had stopped again.

He picked up a stone and hurled it at the Fat Bird Monster.

Bang!

The stone hit the creature, which was munching on the eggs, right on its head.

What did this mean?

Was Lin Baici going to slaughter it?

"Is there something you haven’t told us?"

Eater God had mentioned ’holding a bird egg’, and Lin Baici had been thinking about it. He hadn’t asked just now because he wanted to see if the Fat Bird Monster would take the initiative to speak, so he pretended to leave and then noticed the creature sneakily peeking at him.

The Fat Bird Monster hesitated while Muscle Buddha appeared, landing a slap on its forehead.

Slap!

The Fat Bird Monster fell to the ground after being slapped, and it quickly learned its lesson. It picked up a bird egg, threw it into its mouth, whimpered a few times toward Lin Baici, then spat it out, before throwing it back into its mouth.

"What does it mean by that?"

Xia Hongyao didn’t understand, "Is it asking us to eat the bird eggs?"

"Why do I feel like it’s telling us to hold a bird egg in our mouths?"

Gu Qingqiu frowned deeply, she imagined the sight of holding a bird egg in her mouth,

Eh, too ugly!

"Did you see that? Go find a bird egg and then hold it in your mouth!"

Lin Baici instructed, having deliberately left a few bird eggs behind. He now took out a bottle of mineral water, rinsed one off, and handed it to several girls.

Due to the language barrier with the creature, Lin Baici knew he wouldn’t get an answer as to why this needed to be done.

"Just keep it in our mouths like this?"

Xia Hongyao put a bird egg in her mouth. It was rather large, making her mouth uncomfortably stretched.

"..."

Hua Yue Yu wanted to say, wasn’t this rule pollution a bit too bad in taste? Holding this bird egg, it was so much like that... yeah...

"Better not spit it out!"

Lin Baici warned, then looked at Li Junsheng and the others, "I won’t help, get your own eggs!"

In the nearly an hour that he had left, these people had just waited and hadn’t gone to collect any eggs, which was incredibly babyish.

Lin Baici didn’t like these selfish people.

They were afraid of death, but didn’t they realize that he and Xia Hongyao also risked their lives collecting those bird eggs?

Lin Baici and Xia Hongyao had worked for almost an hour and only managed to gather around sixty eggs.

"Hurry up, there’s about a thirty percent chance of encountering a Giant Bird, it’s not certain you’ll see one."

Hua Yue Yu urged, not wanting Lin Baici and Xia Hongyao to take risks again.

Everyone hesitated, not wanting to go, but nature was about survival of the fittest. The crises they had faced earlier had weeded out those with less intelligence, leaving behind those with at least some emotional intelligence. They didn’t dare blame Lin Baici and Xia Hongyao for being God Hunters from the Jiuzhou Security Bureau, entitled to ensure their safety.

In fact, the Jiuzhou Security Bureau’s primary objective was to purify rule pollution in the shortest time possible, contain Taboo things, and prevent the pollution from spreading, as it could affect more people. Under this premise, they could try to save as many lives as possible.

Lin Baici didn’t care about these people anymore and started walking in the direction indicated by the Fat Bird Monster.

Li Junsheng was quite clever; he ran over thirty meters more on the route that Lin Baici had to pass. When Lin Baici passed by, he climbed a tree to collect bird eggs, so even if a Giant Bird attacked, he could quickly run back to Lin Baici for protection.

Li Junsheng’s approach reminded quite a few people, and they started doing the same.

Lin Baici, being an employee of the Jiuzhou Security Bureau, allowed these people to do so. Fortunately, when over thirty people managed to collect bird eggs, the first wave of Giant Birds finally appeared.

Nine of them.

"Run!"

Lin Baici shouted. With him and Xia Hongyao present, this wave of Giant Birds didn’t kill anyone. After they left behind three corpses and scattered feathers, they withdrew reluctantly.

Half an hour later, a vast open space appeared ahead with an altar standing in the midst of it!

Gurgle!

Lin Baici’s stomach growled.
