Chapter 71: 071 Why?

071 Why?

The entire top of the cliff was covered with countless white bones.

In the very center of these white bones was a nest built with white bones.

The radius of the entire nest was a full five meters.

And in the very center of this nest was an egg half the height of a person.

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Bei lowered his figure and stepped on the white bones as he walked toward the nest.

Ye Fan: 【Holy crap, is this a dinosaur egg?】

Wu Yingcai: 【Dinosaur eggs aren't this big either!】

Li Qinqin: 【This ground full of white bones looks so scary.】

Zhang Bei's hand touched the big white egg, and the wristwatch prompts came one after another.

【Bone-Shattering Eagle, LV5

Current status: Hatching

Can use energy Crystal Cores for hatching, with a certain chance of capturing as a battle pet.】

Zhang Bei narrowed his eyes; this thing was already Level 5 while hatching.

Presumably, after reaching adulthood, it would definitely not be lower than Level 30!

Frowning, it wasn't impossible to take this egg away directly now.

However, one could imagine what kind of pursuit he would face after the parent of this thing returned.

In this Ice Age possessing the supernatural, Zhang Bei didn't doubt at all that the parent of this thing could find him.

And another very critical point: he couldn't use this thing.

He had only opened one pet slot, and it was already occupied by the Little Panda.

He drew the long blade in his hand and slashed forcefully at the giant egg before him.

"Clang!"

The sound of metal clashing came out; with all his might, the giant egg before him only cracked a small fissure.

Zhang Bei narrowed his eyes and looked in through the crack; there was already a prototype of an eagle inside the giant egg.

Without the slightest hesitation, the Tachi in his hand pierced directly in along the crack.

Accompanied by the disappearance of the life force, a cry suddenly came from the sky.

After this cry came a powerful energy flying toward the cliff.

Too late to think, a Crystal Core appeared in his hand in the blink of an eye.

A white light flashed, and Zhang Bei's figure disappeared from the spot instantly.

Li Qinqin: 【Holy crap, that was close!】

Wu Yingcai: 【Scary, this bird is so big!】

Ye Fan: 【Upstairs, you're not right!】

Just having returned to the settlement's teleportation point, the wristwatch immediately sent a prompt.

【Congratulations to player Zhang Bei for completing the task, Overseas Isolated Island.】

【Reward: Star Essence Armor, reward being issued】

The system in his brain also activated at the same time; Zhang Bei looked at the crowd around the teleportation point.

His figure flashed and he returned to the small building.

Sitting on the bed, his consciousness immersed into the system.

Looking at his popularity value, after the consumption of the past few days, his current popularity value was only over eight thousand.

No choice, he directly invested one thousand popularity points.

The numbers on the golden screen spun rapidly.

【Current Critical Multiplier: 99!】

Countless iron armors descended from the sky; Zhang Bei picked one up casually, and the prompt on the wristwatch arrived instantly.

【Star Essence Armor, LV25

Characteristic: Contains star power, defense increases by 30% at night

Iron Armor exclusive: Can use Crystal Cores to create a one-time protection shield

Level 20 defense exclusive: Construct an energy shield, 100% blocking all energy in front.

Current durability: 100%.】

Narrowing his eyes, he put on the iron armor.

The size of the entire iron armor was similar to an undershirt, and wearing it didn't affect his movement.

However, looking at the pile remaining before him, Zhang Bei rubbed his chin and pressed the call button for Xiao Cheng.

"Where are you?"

"At the plaza, what's wrong, Boss?"

"Didn't we say we were going to establish a new unit a while ago? How is it going?"

"Still in training, do you want to see them?"

"No need, bring the person you recommended over."

The call hung up, and Zhang Bei placed the things on the ground to the side.

Soon, a knock on the door came, and Xiao Cheng walked in with a thin man.

"Boss, this is the leader of the new unit: Liu Wenbo."

Liu Wenbo lowered his head: "Boss!"

Zhang Bei nodded gently: "I gave things to the other units when they were established, yours can be no exception."

Liu Wenbo's gaze turned to the Star Essence Armor on the ground, and then his eyes lit up instantly.

Xiao Cheng also casually picked up a set and checked the attributes.

"Holy crap, Boss, you can't forget your old love just because you have a new one!"

Looking at Xiao Cheng's appearance, Zhang Bei's face darkened: "The Iron Blood doesn't lack anything!"

Xiao Cheng's face stiffened; this was indeed true.

As the unit established earliest, the Iron Blood basically got whatever they asked for.

Weapons were all Level 15 or above, and the defensive equipment on their bodies was armed to the teeth.

However, those things were all saved up bit by bit by Xiao Cheng pestering the blacksmith.

Where could they have such good attributes!

"Boss, the Iron Blood is also having a hard time now; basically, after going out for a day, the equipment is broken when they come back!"

Zhang Bei frowned; he also knew the situation of the Iron Blood now.

That was a bunch of battle maniacs; one set of equipment a day was a common occurrence.

"Iron Blood, wait a bit; at the latest in a week, our blacksmiths will all have grown up."

Xiao Cheng watched eagerly as Liu Wenbo collected all the Star Essence Armors.

Naturally, he also knew that the situation could only be like this.

No one could refute what Zhang Bei had determined.

Liu Wenbo lowered his head: "Boss, I want to let the Red Tiger engage in battle."

Zhang Bei's gaze turned to Xiao Cheng: "You decide; whether they can fight is up to you."

Xiao Cheng thought for a moment: "Originally, there was still a lack of coordination, but with this iron armor, there shouldn't be any problem."

"Then go, remember to ensure safety."

Zhang Bei knew nothing about leading troops; professional matters should be left to professional people.

What he could do was provide the best equipment for these people.

Watching the two leave together, Zhang Bei shook his head.

Looking at the four remaining task scrolls in his hand, Zhang Bei sighed.

It could be said that the difficulty of this task wasn't very strong.

But the test of human nature was indeed top-tier.

If he had killed that man to complete the task, there wouldn't have been the stone tablet and the giant egg later.

If he had been greedy and wanted to tame a battle pet, he might not have had time to activate the teleportation in the end.

This was the difficulty of tasks above Level 20!

Tearing open another scroll, the sound came from the wristwatch immediately.

【Drawing task, task drawing successful.】

【Crazy Flamingo, Task Level: LV20】

【Please head to the Flamingo gathering place within three days and successfully steal the Holy Fire Token.】

Looking at the task prompt before him, Zhang Bei scratched his head.

Flamingo?

Daniu often used this thing as chicken meat to make food.

Why could this thing be ranked in a Level 20 task?

And Zhang Bei also knew the Flamingo gathering place; it was right behind the eastern snow mountain.

However, because this thing could fly and the level was too low, basically no one hunted it.

Since he was given three days, Zhang Bei wasn't in a hurry and followed the stairs to the floor below.

The little girl was sitting in her chair processing documents as usual.

Only today, Jin Xin looked significantly happier. ===== CHAPTER 72 =====
