Chapter 50
Jiang Yunu did not move immediately.
She was caught in the sky by the "big bird". After adapting to the strong wind blowing in her face, she could see more clearly that there was a ravine under her feet, which was at least dozens or hundreds of meters away from the bottom of the ravine.
Jiang Yunu might have spent most of the day preparing to find a way to escape.
But she was not ready to escape from the predicament where she could not see the ground below her feet, and then allow herself to become a hobby of "falling objects from extremely high altitudes".
If you want to do anything, you have to wait for the "big bird" to fly over the cliff next to you.
Jiang Yunu is patient and she is waiting for the opportunity.
Five minutes of golden time may pass by in a moment of carelessness under normal circumstances.
In a world where time is measured in seconds, five minutes seems unexpectedly long.
Jiang Yunu counted the seconds silently in his mind, constantly reminding himself of the remaining buffer time.
She was quite familiar with this kind of thing, and she was quite accurate in counting minutes and seconds in her mind. This was also thanks to the time when she was surviving on a deserted island. The thin electronic clock in her underground base was not convenient to carry with her, and in order to explore new resources and the surrounding map, she needed to run outside the base constantly, and she would be out for almost the whole day at a time.
On the isolated island, Jiang Yunu had to calculate the time to drink her limited nutrient solution. When she went out, she had to carry a small bottle of nutrient solution with her, and she had to be careful not to replenish her energy too early, so as to maximize the energy supply time.
Before she knew it, she had developed the skill of estimating time in her mind.
All existences that fail to kill her will surely teach her something. This is one of Jiang Yunu's life creeds.
She estimated that about two minutes had passed.
"Big Bird" allowed her to experience an aerial sightseeing tour for free. She was not very afraid of cold or heat, and she felt quite comfortable in the strong wind. Her limbs hanging in the air remained relaxed, and she occasionally moved them quietly without attracting the attention of "Big Bird". Her joints did not become stiff due to the cold wind.
After about two and a half minutes, Jiang Yunu saw the "big bird" change direction and begin to approach the ground on the cliff.
She waited for the opportunity!
The "big bird" reunited with its old friend and, as if showing off to an unknown object, spread its wings and flew freely over the grove where it had previously played a game of chase with Jiang Yunu.
Seeing that the opponent's flight trajectory finally overlapped with the ground, Jiang Yunu clenched the spatula that she had prepared for a long time in her hand with her backhand and stabbed it diagonally behind her!
Diagonally behind it is the soft belly of the "big bird", which is covered with only a layer of down feathers.
Low-level wind elemental beasts do not have feathers that are as hard as metal. Jiang Yunu's spatula was successfully pierced into the "big bird" due to the explosive power of her wrist. After the edge of the spatula was pierced, she immediately used her arm to exert force, allowing the spatula to sink deeper into the belly of the "big bird".
The "big bird" let out a sharp cry.
The sound pierced the eardrums, but Jiang Yunu seemed to have temporarily closed her ears. She was facing the other party's scream head-on without even blinking.
She just hit the weak part of the wind elemental beast's abdomen hard, while paying attention to whether there was still the ground area on the cliff below. At the same time, she was also wary of the "big bird" lowering its head and counterattacking her with its beak.
The beaks of low-level elemental beasts are not that long, and it seems that their intelligence and reaction ability are not as quick and adaptable as those of high-level ones.
Jiang Yunu's spatula was stuck in the belly of the "big bird". She could feel a hot current flowing down the edge of the spatula and onto her hand, but the injured elemental beast just howled in pain, and its beak attacked the air randomly, as if it was unable to catch the correct target for a while, and its flying speed became slower and slower.
Jiang Yunu timed the moment the bird slowed down, its beak still pecking at the air. She had already spotted a large tree within the five-second flight range of the Bird Aircraft. Suddenly, she yanked back the spatula, and with a swift, clean stroke, she severed the back of her collar. The metal spatula's backhanded cut rubbed against the bird's claws, still clinging to it, creating a teeth-grinding sound of hard objects colliding.
Fortunately, the cutting went smoothly, allowing Jiang Yunu to completely break free from the control of the "big bird". She began to fall from the air to the ground, and the crown of the big tree she had chosen was an excellent buffer.
Jiang Yunu adjusted his posture in mid-air, curled up to protect the vital parts of the human body in front of him, and used his back to meet the impact of branches and leaves. Although he was bound to suffer some flesh injuries, the process of suffering injuries was also a process in which the impact force of the free fall was continuously diluted.
Jiang Yunu broke many thin branches of the tree, allowing her to return safely to the ground area on the cliff.
Until she reached out and grabbed a thick branch, swung her body on the branch, and let inertia swing herself deeper into the grove.
Above the sky, the wind elemental beast statue, which had fallen into a state of confusion due to pain, finally came to its senses and realized that the human it had captured had slipped out of its claws.
The angry cry of the "big bird" echoed in the sky above the grove.
It was not only the anger at the "prey" escaping, but also the anger at his own injury.
A strong wind blew up outside the grove, and the "big bird" flapped its wings and rushed into the woods.
Jiang Yunu had already entered the depths of the woods. Including the previous time, this was the second time she had dodged into this small woods.
The piles of broken branches and leaves that the "big bird" had created to block her now became her cover. She could use the terrain and body shape of the forest to hide in the forest and be more difficult to be detected.
The "big bird" broke into the woods in the posture of a hunter. In fact, it had become the "prey" in Jiang Yunu's eyes.
Just in the air, Jiang Yunu had dealt a heavy blow, severely weakening the wind beast's mobility. The wound she'd inflicted with the spatula was still bleeding. The wind beast roared and carelessly charged through the forest, its blood staining the grass. Jiang Yunu sniffed the beast's blood and pondered how to remove the elemental core from its neck.
A low-level "big bird-shaped" wind elemental beast with an amber elemental crystal core embedded in its neck.
Because the neck was also covered with feathers, Jiang Yunu couldn't see where the opponent's crystal core was at first, and almost mistook the location of the elemental crystal core for a small piece of different-colored feathers.
He was still caught by the wind elemental beast and taken to the sky. While waiting in the sky for the beast to fly over the cliff, Jiang Yunu took a closer look and found that the "strange-colored feather" was actually a crystal core hidden under the bird's feathers.
Jiang Yunu drew on the experience she gained from the video. She used the "waste technique" with the wind elemental beast, causing the injured opponent to waste more energy and blood in the forest.
This low-level wind elemental beast is not as strong as the high-level elemental beast in the video.
Jiang Yunu felt that she had not waited too long. She heard the howling of the wind elemental beast become short and the tail tone gradually revealed weakness, and the frequency of its wings hitting the branches and leaves in the forest became lower and lower.
The blood of the elemental beasts quickly gathered in a certain area.
It was no longer scattered blood spots, but as it stopped somewhere, it quickly dripped onto the ground below to form a small stream of another kind.
Jiang Yunu approached quietly from behind.
Wind elemental beasts are naturally sensitive to wind. Jiang Yunu knew that under normal circumstances, no matter how light her movements were, as long as she was close enough to the "big bird", the other party would definitely be able to sense the subtle changes in the airflow around them.
But this was a wind elemental beast that was injured and exhausted. The bleeding and fatigue made the "big bird" lose its original vigilance.
Jiang Yunu stood four or five steps away from the other person. She held her breath and observed carefully.
The injured elemental beast folded its wings and landed on a low, thick branch.
It looked as if it really had no idea that there was a human approaching from behind.
“…”
Jiang Yunu kept her arm holding the spatula vertically at her side. She remained motionless and observed quietly for three seconds.
Then jump from the spot.
Jiang Yunu was like an animal ambushing another animal in the woods. She hid, lurked, and then suddenly jumped up without warning, descending upon the chosen prey with such swiftness that it caught it off guard. In the blink of an eye, she showed her "claws" - she "bite" the opponent's neck with her sharp-edged spatula.
The "big bird" instinctively spread its wings and tried to fly, but Jiang Yunu's single "claw" had already pierced its neck and pierced its throat from behind. Lacking a second weapon, she used her body as a weapon. Her left hand grasped the base of the "big bird's" left wing, digging her fingers into the flexible tendons at the center of the bone.
Jiang Yunu grabbed the elemental beast's wings and pressed down its neck.
The "big bird" struggled to turn around and attack with its sharp beak, but this was the moment Jiang Yunu was waiting for.
The hard surface of the spatula was still stuck in the "big bird's" neck. When the other party tried to turn its head, Jiang Yunu moved the long handle and pressed the edge of the spatula down in the direction of the other party's neck twisting.
The force of the wind elemental beast turning its head backwards collided with the force of Jiang Yunu pressing down the shovel.
But on Jiang Yunu's side was the sharp edge of a hard spatula, and on the "big bird's" side was its body and flesh.
The bird's beak lost its force before it could peck at Jiang Yunu. The wind elemental beast only turned halfway before its head tilted to one side forever.
Jiang Yunu released his hand that was pressing down on the other party's wings only after confirming that the other party was no longer moving. Then he put his left hand around the other party's body and reached to the front of the "big bird's" neck, reaching out to catch the elemental crystal core that automatically fell off as the elemental beast was successfully killed.
When the amber crystal core was brought to his eyes, he could still feel the residual heat of the "big bird's" blood on it.
Jiang Yunu turned over and got off the bird's body. He casually shook his hands to get rid of the bloody feeling on the crystal core, and then looked carefully at his freshly harvested spoils.
"The third element crystal core." Jiang Yunu gently tossed the amber crystal core in his hand, "I got it successfully."
The crystal core was thrown into the air and then caught steadily and put into the backpack.
Jiang Yunu looked back at the "big bird" falling from the thick branch where it had been perched before. She had clearly won the fight, but she still sighed.
"It's a bit slow." She commented on herself a little harshly.
