Chapter 11 - Chapter 11: Ling Zhi'an

"Handgun... King?!"

Although the range was shortened, the explosion effect upon hitting the target greatly enhanced the power of this handgun.

Yang Yuan looked at the description with surprise.

At this moment, the handgun had become exquisitely crafted like a true piece of art, and the barrel seemed shorter than before.

Meanwhile, under a large tree more than five hundred meters away, a group of people suddenly looked in the direction of the gunfire.

"Boss, that bird seems to have gone over there."

"Why do I hear that bird's cries of pain?"

"Hurry and take a look, damn it, it's been watching us for so long. I really hope someone killed it, or we'll be on edge in the future."

The leader of the group, Ling Zhi'an, hurriedly ran towards the direction of the bird's painful cries.

The others immediately followed.

...

At this time, Zhao Jiayan and Jiang Yiyi also came back to their senses.

The two women, while still feeling apprehensive, also looked at Yang Yuan in shock.

"Can this... handgun really kill such a fierce creature?"

Zhao Jiayan was somewhat doubting her life.

One shot blew up the head of such a gigantic fierce bird!

Can a handgun really do that?

Not to mention a handgun, can even a sniper rifle have such power?

Probably not?

Yang Yuan got up, checked the wound on his waist, and found the blood scab had split, and fresh blood was coming out.

"You're bleeding again." Zhao Jiayan hurriedly used her clothes to help him wipe the blood.

"It's not a big deal, just slipped a bit earlier."

Yang Yuan put down his clothes, reloaded the handgun, and circled around the body of the black fierce bird: "This bird is too big, I'm afraid we can't carry it back."

"It looks big, but birds usually have a lot of feathers, shouldn't be too heavy, right?" Zhao Jiayan said, grabbing a feather and pulling hard.

The result was that the corpse of the giant bird didn't move an inch, and she couldn't even pull out the feather.

"How is it?" Yang Yuan asked.

Zhao Jiayan was shocked and let go: "Its feathers are like metal, very hard and heavy, the whole body probably weighs at least seven or eight hundred pounds."

Seven or eight hundred pounds—

Yang Yuan felt a headache, and like Zhao Jiayan, for the first time found a prey too big to handle.

If they just cut some to take back, it felt wasteful, especially since their knives might not even cut through this fierce bird.

And if the three of them slowly dragged it back step by step, if they became exhausted and enemies suddenly appeared, it would be extremely dangerous.

"Damn, that bird was really shot down!!"

"Amazing!!"

Suddenly came cries of surprise from afar.

Yang Yuan's heart stirred, and he quickly turned to look, seeing a group emerging from the woods hundreds of meters away, looking at this side in shock.

Seeing Yang Yuan look over, the group hundreds of meters away immediately showed an alert expression, ready to run at any time.

Earlier, they had seen the fierce bird circling in the sky from a distance, seemingly intending to hunt, which scared them to hide quickly.

After hiding for half a day, they suddenly saw the fierce bird flying from another direction, followed by a loud sound indistinguishable from gunfire or cannon fire.

Curious, they hesitated and followed to check, then saw the scene in front of them.

Everyone couldn't help but show greedy expressions. Such a large fierce bird, how long would it last them?

Even if they didn't eat it themselves, taking it back to trade with the military could get them many advanced weapons!

But thinking about how the other party could even take down such a fierce bird, they forcibly suppressed their greed.

"Friends over there, could you lend a hand?"

As they were preparing to leave, suddenly the young man with blood-stained waist waved over and shouted.

The leading Ling Zhi'an paused, cautiously asking, "What help?"

"Help us transport this bird back, I'll give you ten pounds of bird meat," Yang Yuan said.

"Ten pounds?"

Ling Zhi'an's heart moved, the meat of such a fierce bird definitely contained tremendous energy, if eaten, his superpower might grow.

But thinking about the long journey back, he immediately refused: "Too little, a hundred pounds."

Yang Yuan almost laughed angrily, a hundred pounds, those people really dared to ask.

He said sternly, "This bird looks big, but it's mostly feathers, there's not much meat. I can give you fifteen pounds at most, if you're willing, lend a hand and make friends, if not, leave quickly to avoid misunderstandings."

On the opposite side, everyone looked at their boss, all somewhat tempted.

If it were ordinary Exotic Beast Meat, fifteen pounds wouldn't move them much, but the fierce bird clearly wasn't simple, the value of its meat would definitely be higher.

Ling Zhi'an was somewhat tempted, but still frowned and said, "It's seven or eight kilometers from here to the safe zone, we might encounter dangers along the way..."

"I'll handle any dangers encountered on the road," Yang Yuan said.

Ling Zhi'an raised an eyebrow: "Then... twenty pounds. If you agree, we'll do it. After all, we're out here hunting too, eight of us and fifteen pounds isn't much to split."

Yang Yuan thought for a moment and agreed: "Alright, but let's be clear, don't have thoughts you shouldn't, there could be more cooperation in the future."

"Brothers are very confident, rest assured, we wouldn't make an enemy for just one piece of prey."

Ling Zhi'an smiled and said, then led the group over.

...

"Is it really okay to ask for help?" Zhao Jiayan asked, a bit worried.

"Anyway, we can't carry it back, so let's try," Yang Yuan said, "But later, keep some distance from them."

"Big brother, the man speaking might be a superpower user," Jiang Yiyi quietly said.

"I guessed," Yang Yuan smiled and nodded.

Soon, the group from the opposite side came twenty meters away, the leader said, "I'm Ling Zhi'an, how do we address the brother there?"

"Yang Yuan."

"So it's Brother Yang Yuan, we'll take care of this bird corpse, we'll definitely help you transport it to the safe zone."

"Then I'll leave it to you, I'll handle any dangers encountered on the road."

Yang Yuan took Zhao Jiayan and Jiang Yiyi back twenty meters, which was the safe distance in the wilderness, strangers shouldn't get too close to avoid misunderstandings.

Ling Zhi'an waited until Yang Yuan retreated to twenty meters away from the bird corpse, then led the group to move the bird.

Because Ling Zhi'an, a superpower user, personally helped, the eight of them didn't find it very hard to carry the bird corpse.

Although the two groups collaborated, they remained cautious of each other, maintaining a twenty-meter gap as they moved side by side towards the safe zone.

"Damn, what a big bird!"

Soon after advancing, someone from afar saw the situation here and exclaimed.

And as they continued, more people were encountered, there were ordinary people, and there were superpower users.

Ordinary people were fine, although greedy, they mostly showed awe, observing from afar.

But some superpower users seemed eager.

A team quickly approached, numbering around a dozen, all showing greedy expressions towards the bird corpse carried by Ling Zhi'an and the others.

Ling Zhi'an frowned slightly, trouble was approaching, he hurriedly looked at Yang Yuan, ready to throw down the bird corpse and run, because he sensed at least three superpower users, which he wasn't a match for.

"Boom—"

Suddenly a loud bang, the ground in front of them exploded, dirt flying.

"Holy crap!"

That group was scared enough to retreat, angrily looking at the person who fired.

Everyone nearby was shocked, looking at the young man who fired, their eyes showing uncertainty.

Even Ling Zhi'an was greatly surprised, looking uncertain at Yang Yuan's handgun.

"What a gun!"

He praised, but felt somewhat skeptical, could a handgun have such power?

From across over eighty meters, the ground was splattered with dirt, not merely showing a bullet hole, maybe it was some kind of superpower?

A superpower enhancing firearm power?

Yang Yuan smiled faintly, saying nothing, merely warning those people not to get too close to avoid misunderstandings.
