Chapter 234 Zhang Xiaoxiao's Confidence
Ji Xinghan was shocked and quickly retreated.
She had just casually picked up a longsword, a blue-grade, fine-quality weapon, which was quite good. Who knew it would be shattered in a single round?
The giant bird was incredibly strong!
Ji Xinghan quickly retreated from the woods and rested for a while.
Zhang Xiaoxiao sent a private message: "Hehe, Gongsun Ban just tried to turn me against him and asked me to tell him where we are. I lied to him, and I bet he's already far away."
Ji Xinghan stood outside the woods, his brows furrowed, too lazy to pay her any attention.
Zhang Xiaoxiao: "Um, boss, pills?"
Ji Xinghan casually sent over the pills that Lu Hanshang had prepared.
The pills Lu Hanshang made were quite good; they looked smooth and round, and even had a pleasant fragrance.
Zhang Xiaoxiao messaged her privately again, excitedly: "Boss, the pills are sweet! So sweet and delicious! Are there any more?"
Ji Xinghan: "..."
She rested for a moment, then rushed in again. This time, she took a better longsword and fought the giant bird.
After only a few rounds, she couldn't hold on any longer and had to quit.
The giant bird didn't chase her too far; it stopped chasing her once she was more than fifty meters away.
As long as she gets within five meters of the tree, the giant bird will definitely come down to stop her.
Ji Xinghan understood that in order to find the treasure, they had to deal with this giant bird first.
But she really couldn't beat him!
Ji Xinghan also tried to lure the eagle away, but the eagle was very stubborn and only stayed within fifty meters of the big tree, not moving an inch further.
After many attempts, Ji Xinghan tried various cards but couldn't break through the giant bird's defenses. Just then, Zhang Xiaoxiao arrived.
Ji Xinghan was applying healing bandages to herself. She had just gone in again, but this time she was in a hurry and escaped a little slower. As a result, one of her legs was pecked by the giant bird.
The giant bird had a huge beak; it almost crippled Ji Xinghan.
As she bandaged her wound, Zhang Xiaoxiao came over, trembling with fear: "Boss, what's inside that even you can't figure out?"
Ji Xinghan looked up and stared at Zhang Xiaoxiao: "I remember you said you would help me fight on the front lines?"
Zhang Xiaoxiao clenched her fist: "Of course, wait for me!"
She rushed in.
She didn't come out until more than ten minutes later, having been chased out by the giant bird.
However, she ran fast and was not injured.
Zhang Xiaoxiao clenched her fist: "Boss, I have a plan. I looked at it, and that giant bird looks a lot like an eagle. I think it likes to eat sheep, big sheep, little sheep, antelopes, and all sorts of things!"
Ji Xinghan was taken aback: "You like to eat lamb?"
Do eagles like to eat sheep?
It seems like it likes to eat all kinds of carnivorous animals, like birds, snakes, mice, and rabbits.
I've never heard of eagles only eating sheep!
Zhang Xiaoxiao said to herself, "So, I think we should hunt a sheep and use it to lure the eagle away."
Ji Xinghan was skeptical: "There are birds nearby that it can eat. Are you sure a sheep can attract it?"
Zhang Xiaoxiao nodded: "I think that's a good idea. But we're running out of time. I see you're injured and have trouble moving around. I'll go catch a sheep. I saw a large flock of sheep on the way here, they were very close. I'll go catch one now!"
Zhang Xiaoxiao left in a flurry.
Ji Xinghan checked the time; two and a half hours had passed.
If he were to die in three hours, he would now only have half an hour left. However, Song Zhuo had said that if his eyes hadn't started to itch yet, it meant he should have at least two more hours.
But two hours is a very short time!
Suddenly facing death, Ji Xinghan felt a little lost; she hadn't even seen her sister yet!
She gritted her teeth and used another bottle of healing potion.
Just over ten minutes later, Zhang Xiaoxiao hurriedly returned. She had indeed caught a sheep, a small one, which she had killed and dragged along, followed by another creature.
Little alpaca!
It's the little alpaca that Ji Xinghan met yesterday.
The little alpaca, with its belly and neck wrapped in healing bandages, ran after me, clearly very angry.
Zhang Xiaoxiao dragged the sheep over, squatted down, and said to Ji Xinghan, who was sitting on the ground, "Are you sure you can do it now? If you can, I'll drag the sheep inside right away and lure the eagle away!"
Ji Xinghan asked in surprise, "Are you that confident?"
She felt that Zhang Xiaoxiao's confidence came from nowhere.
Zhang Xiaoxiao nodded firmly: "Don't worry, no problem. I keep my word and will definitely fight for you. Okay, let's go!"
The little alpaca finally caught up with Zhang Xiaoxiao and angrily spat out a "pui!"
He spat on Zhang Xiaoxiao's face and Zhang Xiaoxiao got angry: "Enough, you little brat! You've been following me all this way. I can't be bothered with you. If it weren't for the fact that you're too small and can't eat much, I would have killed you long ago!"
Little alpaca: "Ptooey!"
Ji Xinghan scooped the alpaca up in his arms: "What's wrong?"
Little alpaca: "Waaah! She killed my friend!"
Ji Xinghan looked at the little lamb's corpse and understood.
Zhang Xiaoxiao killed the sheep by sheer coincidence, killing the little alpaca's best friend in one fell swoop. The poor little alpaca is so young and has to experience the pain of losing a friend.
It's still nursing, so this is probably its only friend!
Ji Xinghan said with heartache, "I see. She's so awful. Here, I'll help you beat her up in a bit."
The little alpaca's eyes welled up with tears: "Chirp, but my friend is not coming back. He was my 256th friend. He's dead, and I still need to find another one."
Ji Xinghan: ...
She released Wangzai and Dingdang, saying, "Okay, I'll get you two now!"
It's dangerous inside, and she doesn't want the alpaca to go in.
Ji Xinghan wrapped the healing bandages around his neck, stood up, and said to Zhang Xiaoxiao, "Let's go, let's give it a try."
She and Zhang Xiaoxiao entered the dense forest together.
Zhang Xiaoxiao turned around, beaming with pride, and said, "You wait and see what I'm about to do!"
Ji Xinghan's eyes flashed.
Why is Zhang Xiaoxiao so confident?
How could she be so confident that this giant bird loved to eat sheep? And how could she be so confident that she could lure the eagle away?
Zhang Xiaoxiao is not a rash person; she wouldn't do this if she wasn't unsure.
Therefore, there is a high probability that she will succeed!
It seems this person also has a secret.
Ji Xinghan waited at the entrance of the woods, watching Zhang Xiaoxiao drag the sheep closer to the big tree.
"Caw!" A giant bird swooped down from the sky. Zhang Xiaoxiao dragged the sheep and ran. When the giant bird came crashing down, she threw the sheep carcass into the air and shouted, "Hey, eat up, you gluttonous girl!"
Ji Xinghan: ? ? ?
Is this bird female?
How could she not know?
The giant bird opened its beak and snatched the sheep.
Zhang Xiaoxiao was overjoyed. Standing still, she turned around and shouted to Ji Xinghan, "Come on, hurry up, charge!"
Just as Ji Xinghan was about to rush forward, he saw the giant bird swallow the sheep whole, then swoop down and head straight for Zhang Xiaoxiao.
Is that all?
Ji Xinghan exclaimed in alarm: "Quick, come back!"
Zhang Xiaoxiao waved her hand: "Let's go!"
She saw the giant bird swooping down and screamed, "Oh my god!"
He turned and ran.
Ji Xinghan also turned and ran. After running for fifty meters, he stopped, thinking that the giant bird would not chase him anymore.
To everyone's surprise, this time, the giant bird soared over fifty meters.
Zhang Xiaoxiao was slow and late to the game. Just as she reached the entrance of the forest, the giant bird tore at her with its two sharp claws, hooked them around her back, and lifted her up.
"Ah!" Zhang Xiaoxiao screamed, "It hurts!"
The giant bird's beak pecked at her head.
Ji Xinghan was shocked. The giant bird's beak was so big that Zhang Xiaoxiao, with her small body, probably couldn't even withstand a single bite!
In her haste, she opened the delicate umbrella with a "bang" and threw it with all her might.
The exquisite umbrella emitted light, blocking the giant bird.
"Bang!" The giant bird was jolted backward, its claws loosened, and Zhang Xiaoxiao fell down.
The giant bird grabbed the exquisite umbrella with its claws and tore it apart with a loud "rip".
"Ahhh, ahhh!" Zhang Xiaoxiao also plummeted from the sky, letting out a series of sharp screams.
