In the apocalypse, you start with two knives, and all your equipment depends on drops.

Chapter 80 Vermilion Bird Bow



Chapter 80 Vermilion Bird Bow

Back to the living room area.

Dongfang Jin was making tea, while Luo Pingjing was studying a pile of parts.

Jiang Yi, seemingly doing nothing, simply stuck a daisy in the container and then took it out.

Repeat the same action.

Seeing this, Luo Mei couldn't help but tease her.

"Hey, Wu~ We can't just take advantage of our wood-type abilities to bully Little Flower like this, can we? What did Little Flower do to you?"

Jiang Yi rolled her eyes at her without even turning her head, then put the daisies in the vase and let go.

Then, somewhat annoyed, he said, "How boring! You two are just here, want to play some cards?"

"Alright, come on! The loser gets pockmarks. And they can't wash them for a day!"

Yu Yao paused for a second, then quietly raised her hand, "But I don't know how."

Luo Mei's eyes widened. "Are there still humans who don't know how to play Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game)?"

Yu Yao laughed in exasperation, "That's a bit impolite of you to say!"

She grew up alone, without friends or family. Who did she play cards with?

I've never even opened any electronic card or board games.

"I do not believe!"

"real!"

"...It's not important. If you don't know how, you don't know how. I'll tell you the rules and you'll understand."

Yu Yao thought for a moment and decided not to say anything discouraging.

......

A little while later, Luo Mei took out a deck of cards and carefully explained the rules of Dou Dizhu to Yu Yao.

Yu Yao felt she had heard enough, so she started a three-way battle with Luo Mei and Jiang Yi.

Perhaps there's some kind of newbie protection.

In the first three games, Yu Yao relied on her good luck and indeed won several times by taking on two opponents at once.

Not only did he give Luo Mei and Jiang Yi the same beauty mark between their eyebrows, but he also gave them both the same one.

Later, they even had two beauty marks applied to each of them.

But starting from the fourth game, Yu Yao's good luck ran out.

After losing four games in a row and getting several moles pointed at me, I was devastated.

Dongfang Jin finally couldn't stand it anymore and sat down next to her, giving her pointers on how to play cards.

The group then fought back and forth, each ending up with a pockmarked face.

Even Dongfang Jin couldn't escape.

Because Yu Yao lost, he also had to pay!

......

At lunchtime, Qi Xian, who was driving, found a secluded spot from before the apocalypse.

There aren't many zombies gathering now, only a few occasionally stopping their cars in open areas where they're wandering around.

When they returned to the living room together, they couldn't help but burst out laughing when they saw the several pockmarked faces in the room.

"What kind of abstract art are you guys playing at? Have you no shame?"

Jiang Yi, who suffered the most crushing defeat, turned around and complained bitterly.

"They cheated! They switched cards!"

Luo Mei calmly adjusted the hand of cards she had just received, refuting him without the slightest hint of guilt.

"That's not true, don't talk nonsense."

As he spoke, he quietly pulled out the two extra cards and slipped them under the table to Yu Yao.

This is outrageous!

Jiang Yi seemed to be gritting his teeth, watching helplessly as the two girls shut him out, despite him being the host.

Then two more pockmarks appeared on his face!

......

Amidst the laughter and chatter, Luo Pingjing had already prepared a simple lunch.

Chi Heng got out of the car and cleared out the few remaining zombies before returning to have lunch with everyone.

After lunch, Lin Fengmu from the car behind came to knock on the door to discuss the route ahead.

Chi Heng naturally opened the car door and got out, then quickly closed it.

They didn't let him come up to admire the few pockmarked faces in his team.

Don't ask, the only reason to ask is to save face for them!

......

I thought this rest would pass uneventfully, and I could continue on my way in another half hour.

Unexpectedly, something went wrong, and they were wrecked by a herd of rampaging mutated cattle.

The mutated cattle are enormous, each standing over two meters tall.

As they ran wildly without regard for anything else, even the earth trembled uncontrollably.

The billowing smoke and dust obscured the sky and created a massive spectacle.

Of course, Yu Yao and the others wouldn't stay in the car and refuse to get out just because they had a few pockmarks on their faces.

Instead, he put on his hood and mask and got out of the car neatly.

To prevent the mutated bull from damaging their vehicles, Yu Yao simply put all the cars away.

Without any worries, they charged into the mutated cattle herd.

......

The mutated cow has an incredibly strong defense, with thick hide and tough flesh.

Although it is not very agile, it has the advantage of being energetic and reckless.

A single headbutt from those two enormous bull horns could send you flying without pain.

Very scary!

Yu Yao used the Cloud Step to its fullest extent, her two horizontal swords sparking as she swung them, her arms going numb from the constant chopping.

But I was puzzled.

Why would a mutated herd of cattle suddenly appear out of nowhere?

Half a minute later, she noticed something amiss on the mini-map.

Less than a kilometer from their current location, another large group of mutated species was moving toward them at an extremely fast speed.

They all have a purpose!

There must be something directing things from behind!

However, within a kilometer radius, she did not find any powerful mutated plants or animals or zombies.

Yu Yao slashed a mutated bull that was charging at her to death with a single blow, her delicate brows furrowing slightly.

What could possibly command so many mutated species from a distance of one kilometer?

He then kicked away a mutated bull that was flying backwards beside him, and looked toward the direction from which the mutated bull herd and the mutated beasts behind them were running.

A small hill that doesn't take up much space.

......

Should we stay and kill the mutated beasts, or run?

Or... go and investigate?

Yu Yao had a feeling that they couldn't escape!

Since the other side could detect their presence from a kilometer away and command so many mutated animals to come, it was clear that they were capable of doing so.

It's something we're determined to win.

Then we can only take the initiative to go and see what exactly is hiding there.

So she quietly moved towards the edge, and in the process, used telepathy to contact her other teammates:

"Another wave came from behind. There must be something directing it from behind. I'll conceal my presence and go find them."

Noticing the dangerous glares her teammates were casting at her, Yu Yao felt a chill run down her spine and quickly added, "I can bring one person!"

"You take care of the boss!" Luo Mei quickly replied.

Yu Yao: "I'll guide you, we have to cooperate."

"Alright! Let's go!"

Luo Mei agreed extremely readily, without even considering her teammates' reactions.

Chi Heng: "...Be careful."

What else could he say?

Did he have a chance to say anything?

......

And so, the two girls fought their way out.

Using the dust kicked up by the mutated cattle, they quietly left the battlefield and headed back in the direction the mutated cattle had come from.

Only after the figure was completely out of sight did Yu Yao take out the adorable seven-colored auspicious cloud.

He asked Luo Mei, "Mei, do you want a mount?"

She will be able to unlock the mount system herself soon, and even if she does bind it to the Seven-Colored Auspicious Cloud, it will just gather dust in the future.

It would be better to give it to your best friend.

Just scold me.

I can't even give my sisters a gift?!

Luo Mei didn't stand on ceremony: "Of course I want it! Why wouldn't I?"

Yu Yao didn't like the colorful auspicious clouds; she liked them very much.

Yu Yao tossed the little cloud to Luo Mei with satisfaction: "Next, the blood oath."

"okay!"

Luo Mei caught Xiangyun with her left hand and bit down hard with her right index finger.

Then, he took out his blood-stained fingertip and dripped the blood onto the little cloud.

A moment later, the blood was completely absorbed, and the little cloud became Luo Mei's mount.

As soon as Luo Mei had a thought, the little cloud began to grow rapidly, until it reached two meters in size before stopping.

"Ha~ That's really good~"

Luo Mei clapped her hands in satisfaction, then eagerly pulled Yu Yao, who looked reluctant, onto the cloud.

With a thought, the cloud carrying the two girls disappeared without a trace.

......

above the sky.

Luo Mei let out an excited cry and couldn't help but open her arms to feel the breeze blowing across her body.

Her short, playful hair flew freely, and her joy was palpable.

Unfortunately, they arrived at their destination too quickly, and before she could even enjoy flying, Yu Yao told her she could stop.

Below was a deep mountain, located directly north of the small hill that Yu Yao had seen earlier.

There are several huge yellow dots of light inside.

Yu Yao guessed that one of them must have controlled the mutated cattle herd to attack them.

The two people and one cloud hovered high in the sky, beginning to investigate all the powerful mutated plants and animals below.

Yu Yao reported the location, and Luo Mei checked the body; their cooperation was excellent.

A mutated wild peach tree?

Not like.

A mutated tiger?

They're busy hunting, so it's highly unlikely.

Mutant pine tree?

It looks silly, all it does is shoot squirrels with pine needles, what a waste of its high level.

Mutant mushroom?

It's huge, but it doesn't seem very smart; all it knows is how to have babies.

The area within a radius of 200 meters has been completely covered by mushrooms!

......

Finally, the two identified the guy who seemed most like the culprit.

A mutated laurel tree!

Around the enormous laurel tree lay several animal carcasses, drained of their life force.

Moreover, Luo Mei and Yu Yao witnessed a mutated golden eagle in mid-air, which personally caught a mutated sheep and threw it under the mutated laurel tree for the eagle to feed on.

how to say?

This is the first time I've ever seen a tree directing animals to do its work!

It's the golden eagle, known for its intelligence.

Absolutely.

Go against Tiangang!

......

Luo Mei sat cross-legged on the cloud, resting her delicate chin on her hand, and couldn't help but ask, "Ayao, do you think it's it?"

"I think so. The scent of the mutated laurel has a mind-altering effect."

Even from this distance, they could still smell that dazzling and eerie fragrance.

"But how did it find us when it was deep in the mountains?"

Yu Yao pointed with her chin at the golden eagle that had flown away.

"They have informants."

"Wow, that's impressive! What do we do now?"

This deep mountain is teeming with powerful, mutated animals and plants.

If the two of them went down there rashly, they would be delivering vegetables to someone else.

Yu Yao thought for a moment and then took out a longbow.

Using the same trick again, he attached three explosive talismans to the tip of the arrow, drew his bow, and aimed at the huge mutated laurel tree.

But after thinking about it again, he put away the bow.

Luo Mei asked, puzzled, "What's wrong?"

"We need to get Third Brother here!"

Knowing how to use a bow and arrow and being good at it are not the same thing.

The mutated laurel trees are different from the large swarms of mutated rats that once in the Lincheng villa area.

Back then, all she needed to do was know how to draw a bow and shoot an arrow; she didn't need much accuracy.

Things are different now; if you shoot even slightly off-target, you'll alert the enemy.

"...That's right, let's go back!"

"Ah."

When Luo Mei and Yu Yao rushed back to the original spot, Chi Heng and his group were being attacked by a large group of mutated wolves.

Just as the two were about to join the battle, the golden eagle they had just seen suddenly swooped down from above.

Its original target was Yu Yao, who had just returned. Jiang Yi noticed this and quickly used vines to pull her away.

The mutated golden eagle lost its target, its pupils shifted, and in the next instant it appeared behind Jiang Yi.

Caught off guard, Jiang Yi was grabbed by the back of his clothes and thrown high into the air.

Luo Mei and the others' expressions immediately changed.

Chi Heng quickly used his supernatural abilities to save people.

Unfortunately, the golden eagle was too fast. In just the time it takes to breathe, the man and the eagle had become tiny specks!

Yu Yao no longer cared about the strange phenomena that the appearance of a semi-divine artifact would cause, and hurriedly took out the Vermilion Bird Bow and threw it at Qi Xian.

"Third Brother! Catch the bow! Save them!"

Yu Yao knew that once the Vermilion Bird Bow was brought out, it would inevitably attract countless criticisms and troubles.

Let alone divine artifacts, even semi-divine artifacts are too ostentatious.

Before Yu Yao had enough ability to protect herself, she had no intention of giving it to anyone, and she didn't even dare to use it herself.

However, nothing always goes according to plan! There are always unexpected and unpredictable twists and turns!

Given the current situation, whether it's flashy or not, whether it's magical or not, is not as important as human life!

Even if she gets scolded, Yu Yao is unwilling to be someone who disregards her teammates' lives in order to hide her shortcomings.

......

As soon as the vermilion Vermilion Bird Bow was thrown, it immediately transformed into a Vermilion Bird covered in flames and rushed towards Qi Xian.

Although it does not have a spirit, it possesses a certain level of intelligence and knows on its own who is most qualified to be its master!

The sky turned a brilliant red with the cry of the Vermilion Bird.

At the same time, those mutated wolves that were originally frenzied also seemed to have their spines bent by something terrible.

One by one, they stopped attacking and lay trembling on the spot.

While still in a daze, Qi Xian subconsciously raised his hand to catch it.

Without hesitation, the vibrant Vermilion Bird transformed into a wisp of red smoke and flew into Qi Xian's palm.

A moment later, a longbow, fiery red in color, with an intricate and exquisite design and flickering flames, appeared in Qi Xian's hands.

Qi Xian was stunned for less than a moment before immediately drawing his bow.

The scorching fire-based power transformed into fiery feathers, aimed directly at the golden eagle, which had become a tiny black dot in the sky.

Then he released the arrow.

The long arrow formed from condensed fire element transformed into a small Vermilion Bird, flying towards the Golden Eagle like a shooting star.
