Chapter 9, pull your chicken!

Chang Ming, filled with questions, could not help but ask: "Has the crisis been averted"

Light and Shadow states: "The mechanical battle chick is a disposable combat item, with a duration of approximately three minutes"

Damn it, I should have just killed him with a single shot when I had the chance

Chang Ming was first taken aback, then filled with great joy: "With such a powerful little chicken, will I no longer have to fear anyone in the future?!"

The three individuals who were closely pursuing him have now stopped, all collapsed on the ground, unaware of what has transpired

mechanized combat chick

Before the words had left his mouth, a shadow suddenly darted in front of them like lightning

Chang Ming had never seen a dead person in his two lifetimes, let alone one who died in such a gruesome manner. He leaned against the bamboo and vomited for a long time, only managing to calm down after quite a while

He tightly grasped the crystal core, which was cold and hard, its color a pale gold, with faint traces of blood on it. Chang Ming looked down for a moment, feeling a surge of joy: Hmph, these dogs, they wanted to kill me for this thing. Now, look at this, you fought desperately to kill the golden python, and yet the item is now in my hands, hahahaha

Chang Ming incredulously asked, "Could these three people have been killed by this little chick?"

This glance made him stop in his tracks, his mouth agape.

Chang Ming was contemplating whether to approach and take a look or to seize the time to continue fleeing when he heard the electronic mixed voice beside him asking, "The crisis has been resolved, the lottery has ended, should we now activate the mechanism of the heavenly book?"

Chang Ming shot out his homemade bamboo claws, snatching the crystal core. He immediately turned around and charged forward without looking back. He had already made arrangements from the beginning, and at this moment, he had no time to think further; he could only hope that these arrangements would be sufficient to hold off the enemy

The person who was about to stay behind saw that things were not looking good and, disregarding the corpse of the golden bamboo python, hurriedly chased after them. It is important to note that the most valuable part of the golden bamboo python is its crystal core. Before they set out, they had already reported to their family. If they were to abandon the crystal core like this, not only would they fail to earn contribution points, but they might also encounter serious misfortune

The three of them had encountered such situations several times along the way. This time, they dodged left and right without hesitation, thinking it would be like before, merely an obstruction and not something formidable.

The light and shadow gently sway, through which one can see the lush green trees behind.

At this moment, Chang Ming heard the sound behind him again. The footsteps from behind were getting closer; the enemy had accurately determined his direction and was closing in!

What does it mean to be able to kill someone? Clearly, someone has already been killed, right? A total of three have been killed!

Chang Ming did not initially intend to use traps to directly deal with the Golden Bamboo Python. He just happened to set the trap between himself and the Golden Bamboo Python, anticipating that after obtaining the crystal core, the opponent would immediately come after him

This sound is neither male nor female; it is a sound produced by electronic mixing. It came suddenly, startling Changming greatly!

Just a moment's delay had already widened the distance between them and Chang Ming, whose figure had vanished from their sight. If it were not for the rustling sound of bamboo branches ahead, they would not even know where Chang Ming had run off to

Chang Ming ran over, picked up the wrench, and turned around to sprint again. As he ran, he tenderly wiped the wrench with his clothes, worried that it might have been damaged when it hit the stone earlier. Such a precision tool cannot be carelessly bumped around.

He suddenly turned his head and saw a blurred shadow appear beside him, running alongside him. The figure was about the same height as him, with a similar build; if it weren't for the mass of indistinct light, he might have thought it was his own shadow.

Was that shadow just now speaking to itself

Chang Ming only wanted to focus on escaping, but the voice next to him kept bothering him. He gasped for breath and shouted angrily: "Keep pulling, pull your own!"

He ran wildly, the bamboo branches brushing against his body, leaving countless streaks of blood on his skin. As he ran, he also paid attention to not lead the enemy to Jinzhu Village.

Damn it, another trap

At this moment, the three individuals behind had already closed in, clearly seeing Chang Ming's back. They laughed triumphantly, saying: "Run, let's see where you can escape to! Kid, I advise you to stop quickly and hand over your belongings; perhaps we can spare your life. Otherwise, not only will you not survive, but your entire village will also..."

Among the three individuals, two are lying on the ground while one is facing upwards. Chang Ming observes clearly that this person has a large hole in their forehead, with blood mixed with brain matter splattering out from the wound

The mechanism ... ... celestial book

But this time was different; the speed of that shadow was extremely fast. Just as they had spotted it, it was already in front of them

Just a moment ago, from a distance, he could not see clearly. As he moved closer to take a look, he discovered that the three individuals had already suffered brain matter explosion and died on the spot

One person said: "Calm down, this kid is too cunning, be careful not to let him escape"

The fatty meat they had obtained was lost, and the three were taken aback. Turning around, they saw a young man grinning at them, his hand shaking as he used a small bamboo claw to retrieve the crystal core. Grasping the crystal core, he ran back without hesitation

The three of them ran wildly to catch up, but halfway there, they immediately sensed something was amiss. The rustling sound ahead remained fixed in one place, and one of them shouted, "Not good, we've been tricked by that kid again"

Chang Ming asked in surprise, "How was it resolved?"

Chang Ming was running frantically when he suddenly heard three consecutive "thuds" coming from behind him. His mind was filled with thoughts of escape, yet he couldn't help but turn his head to take a glance.

Chang Ming felt somewhat anxious, quickening his pace while panting, completely disregarding the strange light and shadow beside him

However, they did not have time to say much more, leaving one person to guard the corpse of the golden bamboo python—its various parts were also good materials for the mechanism master, quite valuable—while the other two chased after Chang Ming, running wildly.

This is an urgent moment, and not a second can be wasted. However, that wrench holds extraordinary significance for him; he absolutely cannot afford to lose it

After a while, he suddenly raised his head and asked the light and shadow, "Tell me... what exactly are you?"

Fortunately, they did so; otherwise, they would have definitely missed the opportunity to connect with Changming.

trap

However, these three individuals are enemies who previously sought to take his life. Just a moment ago, they even threatened that if he did not stop, it would implicate the villagers. With such people dead, he would not feel any sympathy.

At this moment, he completely forgot that he had previously hit someone on the head with a wrench

Chang Ming reached into his pocket, only to find an empty hole—it's broken, the wrench has fallen out

At that moment, a sudden "ding" sound echoed from an unknown source, followed by a voice appearing beside his ear and the illustrated book: "The points have reached 5000, and you have obtained a Level 2 Energy Core. The conditions have been met to activate the Mechanism of the Heavenly Book. Would you like to draw now?"

Indeed, when they ran over, they only saw a wild rabbit tied between two bamboo poles. It darted left and right in an attempt to escape, but no matter what it did, it could not break free, only managing to make the bamboo creak and rattle.

He jumped down a slope with large strides, suddenly hearing a clink, followed by a lightness in his pocket

Chang Ming steadied himself and observed from a distance, noticing that the three individuals showed no signs of movement. Gathering his courage, he turned around and walked forward.

Light and Shadow said: "The mechanical battle chick moves quickly, with a sharp beak, and can indeed be lethal."

Chang Ming had only trained for half a month, and the opponent was originally a type of thug, with physical fitness far superior to his. When it comes to escaping for his life, he was no match for them

Chang Ming turned around without hesitation and ran to the spot where the sound had just come from. Sure enough, the wrench had struck a rock, fallen to the ground, and was now gleaming.

The other two nodded in agreement, and the three of them calmed down for a moment, beginning to hold their breath and search for the traces left by Chang Ming, following the clues as they went.

The reactions of these two individuals were quite swift; just after being hung upside down, one of them drew a crossbow and swiftly shot through the vines binding their feet, flipping over and landing on the ground.

At that moment, as one person just began to dodge, they saw the dark shadow in front of them growing larger and larger

The light and shadow were still running alongside him, mirroring his every movement. However, the voice of the other party showed no sign of breathlessness, exuding an air of calm and composure: "Hmm... Master, forgive my rudeness; your preferences are truly unique. However, since this is our first meeting, if you insist on such a request, I can certainly accommodate it—"

And * the picture * book Changming squatted down, holding the chick, feeling heartbroken.

The two individuals stood on tiptoe, forcing themselves to turn at an angle, their feet landing beside a trap. Immediately afterward, they felt a tightness around their ankles, and both were simultaneously ensnared by a vine, abruptly hanging upside down.

Before the words had left his mouth, a chick that was wandering around suddenly let out a "clack" sound, its head drooped down, and it fell silent. A screw popped out from its rear and flew far away.

The group of light and shadow said: "Yes, Master"

At this moment, he finally saw clearly that it was a brightly colored mechanical chick, about the size of a fist. It flew in front of him like lightning, and its yellow beak swiftly pecked at his forehead

He composed himself and saw a fist-sized chick walking beside the corpse. The chick's feathered body was clearly made of metal, and its bright yellow beak had some red and white mixed liquid on it

The electronic mixed voice emotionlessly stated: "The prerequisites have been met, should we now activate the mechanism of the heavenly book?"

Ah? Is it a one-time thing...

At this moment, the light and shadow emitted a sound: "The conditions have been met, may I ask if it is time for the lottery now?"

As he spoke, Guangying suddenly turned around, running while reaching out his hand towards Changming's back.

The three of them finally reacted, shouting: "It's that kid from earlier!"

Upon clearly seeing the situation of these three individuals, he immediately exclaimed "Wow" and spat it out

The light and shadow patiently said: "Just now in the lottery system, the master directly named the mechanical battle chick. The mechanical battle chick is a one-time combat mechanism and is the least valuable prize in this lottery. Since the master directly named it, I have fulfilled your request"

The two of them had just started when suddenly their feet felt weak, and they simultaneously shouted in their hearts: There is a trap!
