Forty years old, awakening attribute panel

Chapter 315 Extra 39
However, how can human beings compare to the speed of the black eagle flying in the sky? In a flash, the black eagle's sharp claws were close to Jiang Sheng, and the shadow of death loomed. At this critical moment, Jiang Sheng's inner anger and desire to survive were completely aroused. He instantly drew out a Tang sword with his right hand and used the sixth of the seven styles of the Tyrant Sword - Dancing with Purple Sleeves, completing a spinning slash at lightning speed.

The black eagle obviously did not expect that this seemingly tiny "prey" would dare to launch a counterattack, and the counterattack was so swift. Due to carelessness, its left foot was hit hard by the Tang sword. The sword energy and domineering power complemented each other, directly cutting off the black eagle's left foot. The remaining force of the blade continued to cut towards the black eagle's right foot, contacting with the hard webbed feet, bursting out a series of dazzling sparks.

The fatally wounded black eagle let out a shrill whine, with pain and anger intertwined in its eyes. It tried to flap its wings and fly away from this sudden battle, but the severe pain from the wound turned every flap of its wings into torture.

Jiang Sheng panted heavily, feeling both grateful for surviving the disaster and a little compassion for the cruel laws of nature. In this forgotten land, the battle between life and death is being played out every moment, and humans are just a small role on this grand stage.

This unexpected encounter made Jiang Sheng more aware that in this unknown world, he must never let down his guard. He looked around again and confirmed that there were no other potential threats before he slowly walked towards the dense forest and continued his adventure, with a greater awe and respect for nature in his heart.

This fight with the black eagle has undoubtedly become an unforgettable scene in Jiang Sheng's journey. It not only tests his courage and wisdom, but also makes him deeply understand that no matter how technology develops, the power of nature is always worthy of awe. In this world full of unknowns and dangers, every breath may be an adventure, and survival is the greatest victory.

This fierce fight with the black eagle was frozen into a heroic picture. Jiang Sheng, holding a Tang sword, stood at the edge of the dense woods, having just experienced a life-and-death struggle. The huge black eagle's left foot had been cut off, and its right foot was also covered with scars. It struggled in pain, while Jiang Sheng was bathed in the sunlight that shone through the gaps in the leaves, and his figure looked particularly heroic.

This experience not only tests Jiang Sheng's courage and skills, but also makes him deeply realize the harshness of natural laws and the fragility of life. In such a land full of unknowns and dangers, every decision may be related to life and death. However, it is this challenge that inspires the survival instinct and spirit of exploration deep in the human heart.

After confirming that the black eagle was no longer a threat, Jiang Sheng took a deep breath and reassessed his situation. Although night was approaching, he knew that the small town to the southwest was his best option at the moment. He might be able to find a refuge there, or even establish contact with other survivors, share resources, and overcome difficulties together.

After calming down, Jiang Sheng started his off-road motorcycle again and headed southwest. With the roar of the engine and the dust flying, he went farther and farther away, leaving behind only a determined back and a story about courage and survival in this primeval forest.

This experience will undoubtedly become a precious memory in Jiang Sheng's life. It taught him to stay calm in adversity and to fight back bravely in the face of danger. More importantly, it made him realize that humans are both small and powerful in the face of nature. This awe and respect for nature will accompany him as he continues to move forward and explore on unknown roads until he finds new hope and a destination.

What kind of story will be waiting for Jiang Sheng in that remote town? Only time can give the answer. At this moment, the only thing he can do is to hold the Tang sword tightly in his hand, bravely face the unknown ahead, and continue his journey full of challenges and miracles.

How could Jiang Sheng miss such an opportunity? He grabbed the black eagle's right foot and stabbed the soft part of the black eagle's abdomen covered with thick eagle hair with the Tang sword in his hand. Fortunately, the Tang sword was long enough. If it was replaced with a short dagger, it might not even be able to penetrate this layer of hard eagle hair.

"Puff puff puff——"

Although the black eagle's feathers were hard, they were soon broken by the continuous stabbing of the Tang sword, and blood gushed out like a fountain. The black eagle struggled, flapping its huge wings vigorously, and kicking its right foot frantically, trying to break free from Jiang Sheng's restraints. For a moment, sand and rocks flew on the rocky beach, and the stream seemed to be swept up by this force, and the scene was extremely spectacular.

Jiang Sheng's stubborn character made him unwilling to let go easily. Even though he was dragged by the black eagle and flying on the rocky beach, the violent turbulence made him dizzy, but he still persisted. Perhaps because of the loss of its left leg, the black eagle could not reach a higher altitude and always struggled at low altitude. In its fierce struggle, blood fell like rain.

The black eagle seemed to realize that it was doomed today, and began to take more extreme measures. It dragged Jiang Sheng towards the towering tree in front of it, obviously wanting to die with Jiang Sheng. At the same time, it used its sharp beak to peck at Jiang Sheng's head. Jiang Sheng dodged twice, but was eventually pecked on the shoulder.

Although Jiang Sheng's skin was not broken by the protective clothing made of carbon nanotechnology, the barbs on the black eagle's beak were extremely powerful, like a chisel hitting his shoulder hard. The pain made Jiang Sheng cry involuntarily.

"Alpaca, Alpaca..."

Jiang Sheng was aroused, and stabbed the black eagle frantically from bottom to top with the Tang sword in his hand. The internal organs of the black eagle flowed out from the ever-expanding wound. With a loud bang, the man and the eagle crashed into the tree at the same time, and the fallen leaves flew everywhere.

Jiang Sheng was knocked dizzy by the impact; the black eagle struggled for a few times, and finally stopped moving, motionless.

From the time the black eagle launched its attack to its final death, the entire process lasted less than five minutes. At this moment, the thousands of square meters of rocky beach was in a mess, with scattered leaves, eagle feathers and blood mixed together, a tragic scene.

Thanks to the strong willpower developed from long-term cross-country training, Jiang Sheng only panted on the ground for less than two minutes before climbing up despite the severe pain in his shoulder. He walked to the black eagle and kicked it twice to confirm that it had no signs of life. The black eagle was really huge, with a wingspan of 8 meters in diameter. Its solid body was covered with black feathers. Even though it was dead, its eyes still emitted a sharp light, as if telling of its ferocity in life.

Jiang Sheng couldn't help but feel scared at this moment. If he hadn't been lucky enough to cut off the black eagle's left leg with one blow, the consequences would have been disastrous if the wings or other non-lethal parts had been injured. Given the ferocity of this black eagle in tearing tigers and leopards apart, even with special strengthening props, it would probably be difficult to escape unscathed.

After calming down a bit, Jiang Sheng put the black eagle into his belongings. Then, he returned to the rocky beach, picked up the black eagle's left foot that he had cut off earlier, and carefully put it away. Such a large eagle claw, even in the end times, is worth at least a hundred yuan, which is a rare source of wealth in the wilderness.

Afterwards, Jiang Sheng came to the stream and washed off the blood on his face and the stains on his body. He endured the severe pain and took off his protective suit to check his injuries. He found that his left shoulder, which had been bitten by the bloodthirsty silver wolf, was bruised and swollen, and the situation was not optimistic. He realized that in addition to the immediate crisis, physical recovery was also an important issue that needed to be faced next.

After dealing with everything, Jiang Sheng began to think about the next action plan. Although he had just experienced a life-and-death battle, he did not give up his determination to move forward. On the contrary, this experience made him more clearly realize that this world is full of unpredictable dangers, and every survival is a challenge to one's own limits.

Jiang Sheng decided to find a safe place to rest, treat his injuries, and replenish his energy. He remembered that there was a small town in the southwest, where he might have the medical facilities and supplies he needed. After ensuring that he was in a stable condition, he would set out again to continue his journey of exploration.

However, he also knows that every step forward means more unknowns and challenges. In this world full of mutant creatures and unknown dangers, every minute and every second may change the trajectory of fate. But Jiang Sheng will not back down because he knows that only by moving forward courageously can he find the meaning and hope of survival in this desolate land.

So he packed his gear and set out again. This time, he was not only fighting for survival, but also for the survivors who were still waiting for rescue in the darkness. Jiang Sheng knew that his skills and courage might be the light of hope they needed.

In the days ahead, no matter what difficulties he encounters, Jiang Sheng will continue to move forward with his unyielding will until he finds his own bright future. And this huge black eagle will become an important milestone in his growth, reminding him that even in the most difficult moments, he must maintain his courage and never give up.

Jiang Sheng secretly thanked himself that he had not hurt any bones, otherwise he would have to turn back and give up the opportunity to explore. He put on his clothes and was about to leave the rocky beach when he heard a "crackling" sound coming from the dense jungle opposite. The trees were shaking, as if a huge monster was slowly approaching. This sudden situation alerted Jiang Sheng, and he immediately looked vigilantly in the direction where the sound came from.

Just as Jiang Sheng was about to seek cover, what emerged from behind the bushes was not the monster he expected, but a huge all-terrain 4WD. The vehicle roared out, and five burly men sat in it, each of them fully armed, holding a shotgun and a rifle in their hands, with magazines and grenades hanging around their waists, and sharp sabers tied to their legs, looking ready to fight at any time.

Jiang Sheng's heartbeat quickened. He knew that these well-equipped men were the best among the adventurers. Once they left the city's shelter, these adventurers were often more dangerous than wild animals. He had read a warning on an online forum: "Outside the city, if you encounter adventurers and poisonous snakes, you must kill the adventurers first." This sentence seemed particularly appropriate at this moment.

In the blink of an eye, the four-wheel drive vehicle crossed the stream and stopped in front of Jiang Sheng. The huge wheels were almost as tall as his height, demonstrating the vehicle's powerful off-road capabilities. The five people in the car all stood up and looked around the rocky beach. One of them was a burly man with a full beard holding a shotgun, looking down at Jiang Sheng with a cold look in his eyes.

"Have you seen a black eagle?" the bearded man asked coldly.

Jiang Sheng shook his head, "I didn't see it."

The man frowned, his face becoming even gloomier. "Then what happened to your injuries? Why is there such a strong smell of blood here? You'd better tell me the truth, otherwise you will bear the consequences!"

Before Jiang Sheng could speak, the others had already jumped out of the car and began to search carefully on the rocky beach. Before long, their exclamations came one after another.

"Boss, look, this is Xiao Hei's feather."

"There is blood here, and there are little black feathers mixed in the blood."

"Xiao Hei must have been seriously injured, and the injury was very serious..."

Through the conversations of these people, Jiang Sheng gradually pieced together the full picture of the matter. It turned out that the black eagle he defeated was not an ordinary beast, but a scouting and hunting partner carefully raised by this group of adventurers. This undoubtedly put him in an extremely embarrassing and dangerous situation.

Jiang Sheng was thinking quickly about countermeasures. He knew that if he admitted that he had killed the black eagle, it would probably lead to revenge. However, he couldn't keep it secret. After all, the evidence at the scene had revealed the secret. Just as he was thinking about how to explain, the bearded man spoke again, his tone revealing impatience and threats.

"We don't have that much time to waste with you. Tell me, what happened between you and Xiao Hei?" Jiang Sheng took a deep breath and decided to tell the truth. He told his story, how he had to hurt the black eagle in self-defense, and emphasized that he had no ill intentions, but made the only choice at the critical moment of life and death. His words were full of sincerity, hoping to gain the other party's understanding.

The bearded man was silent for a moment, as if he was weighing something. Finally, he said slowly, "We raise Xiao Hei for survival in the wild. He is our eyes and claws. Since you can hurt him so much, it means you have a certain strength. But you have to compensate us for our losses."

Jiang Sheng nodded to show his understanding. He took out some of the spoils from his inventory, including the claws of the black eagle and other valuable parts, and handed them to the other party as compensation. The bearded man took it, checked it, nodded, and signaled that the team could leave.

After the two sides reached an agreement, Jiang Sheng watched the four-wheel drive vehicle disappear into the depths of the jungle, feeling mixed emotions. This unexpected confrontation made him deeply realize the complexity and danger of survival in the wild. He secretly vowed that in the future, when facing unknown enemies, he would not only be more vigilant, but also learn to respond wisely to avoid unnecessary conflicts.

After getting his mood right, Jiang Sheng set out on his journey again. He knew that the road ahead was still long and full of unknowns. But this experience undoubtedly made him grow a lot, and also made him more determined to survive in the end of the world. After knowing that the black eagle was actually a companion raised by this group of adventurers, Jiang Sheng only had one instinct left in his heart - escape. In this wilderness, the value of human life may not be higher than that of a well-trained black eagle. The bearded man in the four-wheel drive car stared at Jiang Sheng from beginning to end, but after learning that the black eagle might have met with misfortune, his eyes flashed with astonishment and anger. At the same time, this moment of shock also gave Jiang Sheng a chance to escape.

"Now—" Jiang Sheng shot out like a bow ready to be released. He was several meters away from the original position after a few jumps, and then took a "Z-shaped" route and sprinted towards the dense woods behind him. This route can confuse the pursuer to the greatest extent and reduce the probability of being hit directly.

The bearded man reacted quickly after a brief moment of shock, and the shotgun in his hand made a deafening sound. "Bang-bang-bang--" Bullets rained down like raindrops, and rocks and leaves were scattered after being hit. The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder and death.

"Catch him, don't let him run away." "You bastard, stop right there..." The adventurers roared and opened fire, trying to stop Jiang Sheng from escaping.

"Bang-bang-bang-" The bullet grazed Jiang Sheng's scalp and embedded deeply into the small tree in front of him. The exploding wood chips were like countless hidden weapons, shooting in all directions. One of the sharp fragments scratched his cheek, leaving a three-centimeter-long laceration under his right eye, and blood gushed out like a fountain.

However, Jiang Sheng had no time to care about the pain. He lowered his head and ran forward at full speed. The powerful single-headed bullet was enough to smash the bloodthirsty silver wolf's head to pieces. If it was unfortunately hit by the bullet, even the gods could not save its life. At this moment, his only goal was to survive and escape.

"Damn it, this is hell!" Jiang Sheng cursed in his heart. He originally thought that the first time he went out to hunt the bloodthirsty silver wolf would be a simple task, but he never expected that not only did he fail to hunt the target, but he also made enemies with a group of adventurers. The hatred of the other party seemed to want to cut him into pieces.

But what could he do? The black eagle intended to make him a delicious meal. Should he just surrender and wait for death?

As the forest became denser and denser, various poisonous snakes and venomous insects attacked Jiang Sheng while he was running, and the sounds of biting continued. However, Jiang Sheng had no spare energy to deal with these sudden attacks, and could only let these poisonous creatures wreak havoc. Fortunately, the carbon nano protective suit on his body provided him with sufficient protection, and even poisonous snakes and beasts could not penetrate this solid barrier.

Despite this, Jiang Sheng still felt unprecedented pressure. Every breath he took was like a race against death, and every heartbeat was like a countdown to his life. He had to stay calm and use all available environmental factors, such as the cover of trees and changes in terrain, to increase his chances of escape.

While traveling through the dense forest, various survival skills kept flashing through Jiang Sheng's mind. He remembered that in a lecture, an experienced explorer once said, "In the wild, the key to survival is to be flexible and take advantage of the environment, rather than to confront it head-on." At this moment, this sentence became a guide for his actions.

He began to imitate the behavior of wild animals, using branches and leaves to create illusions and mislead pursuers. At the same time, he also tried to avoid moving in a straight line, but adopted a roundabout tactic and used the terrain for cover. Although he was exhausted, his instinct for survival drove him to keep moving forward.

After a long and difficult escape, Jiang Sheng finally found that the sound of pursuit was gradually sparse. He did not dare to stop immediately, but slowed down his pace and carefully observed his surroundings. He dared to stop and breathe after ensuring safety. He gently wiped the blood and sweat on his face with his sleeve, and his heart was filled with complicated emotions. This experience made him deeply realize that survival in the wilderness is far more cruel and complicated than imagined, and every decision may be a matter of life and death.

Jiang Sheng knows that there are more unknown challenges waiting for him in the future, but he has also strengthened his belief - no matter what kind of difficulties he encounters, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, he must persevere to the end. This escape is not only a test of the limits of the body, but also a baptism of will and wisdom. He believes that after this experience, he will become a more resilient and mature survivor, and find his own way of survival in this world full of crises.

Of course, if his head was not unprotected, the situation might be different, after all, he was not wearing a helmet.

"Stop, don't run..."

"I see you, so just surrender..."

"Puff puff……"

Facing the shouting and gunshots of the pursuers behind him, Jiang Sheng was filled with mixed feelings, and a sense of powerlessness arose spontaneously. The three abilities he had integrated were all melee skills, but it was difficult for him to use them at this time. After all, the opponent was holding a gun and would obviously not put down his weapon to fight him in hand-to-hand combat. This is exactly the portrayal of the old saying: "No matter how good your martial arts skills are, you are afraid of kitchen knives." In the face of modern weapons, personal martial arts seem to have lost their former glory.

Just as Jiang Sheng was feeling annoyed, he suddenly had an idea and remembered the shotgun he was carrying, which was now lying quietly in the inventory. Realizing this, he couldn't help but slap his forehead hard, "Damn it, how could I forget such an important thing."

If I had used a shotgun to surprise the pursuers earlier, I'm afraid I wouldn't know which side they are from now on as they are fleeing in panic like a stray dog!

Jiang Sheng quickly found a big tree as cover, quickly pulled out his shotgun, and began to change the ammunition. He quickly took out the original single-headed bullet and replaced it with a buckshot bullet.

The slug contains only one irregularly shaped pellet, which is like a high-speed spinning iron ingot hitting the target. It is extremely powerful, but the attack range is limited to a straight line. In contrast, the buckshot pellet is very different. Depending on the caliber, each pellet is filled with 9 to 18 8mm diameter steel balls. Although it is not as powerful as the slug, it can cause damage in a wider range.

At this moment, Jiang Sheng did not expect to kill the enemy with one blow, he just wanted to make the other party afraid and not dare to pursue him rashly.

The muzzle of the gun was pointed at the approaching woods behind him, from which came the sound of hurried footsteps and continuous curses. In the woods, the bearded man and his companions were still chasing closely, and the faces behind the masks all revealed anger and unwillingness.

Especially the bearded man, his eyes were burning with anger. He had spent a huge amount of money to capture the black eagle with the help of other awakened people. After going through hardships, he finally made it recognize him as its master through "communication". Today was his first hunting day, and he suffered such misfortune. At this moment, he wished that the murderer who killed the black eagle would be cut into pieces!

"boom--"

Just as the bearded man was thinking about how to torture the young murderer, a burst of gunfire suddenly came from the front, interrupting his thoughts. The whistling sound of bullets cut through the air, and then a rain of steel balls fell into the woods, instantly breaking the tranquility. The bearded man and his companions were caught off guard and dodged one after another, some fell to the ground, and some hurriedly sought cover.

"There's an ambush!" someone exclaimed, and a tense atmosphere suddenly spread.

Jiang Sheng did not shoot immediately, but waited for the right moment until the pursuers were close enough. He calculated the angle and distance to ensure that each shot could cover as many targets as possible to deter the enemy. The gunshots rang out again, and this time, he used a more intensive shooting pattern to maximize the power of the deer bullets.

In the woods, the bearded man and his team fell into chaos. They never thought that they would be counterattacked during the pursuit. Gunshots and screams intertwined, and the air was filled with fear and uncertainty. The bearded man realized that the enemy in front of him was not an easy one to deal with. If he continued to pursue, he might pay a heavy price.

"Retreat, retreat!" the bearded man ordered loudly, his voice revealing a bit of panic. Upon hearing this, his companions retreated one after another and stopped chasing Jiang Sheng.

Jiang Sheng hid behind a big tree, listening to the footsteps getting farther and farther away, feeling both relieved and alert. He knew that he had escaped the pursuit for the time being, but this experience made him deeply realize that the wilderness is full of dangers, and any underestimation of the enemy or negligence may bring fatal consequences.

He took a deep breath, calmed himself, and began to check his condition. Although the wound was still bleeding, it did not affect his movements. He took out a bandage and disinfectant from the inventory, simply treated the wound on his cheek, and then sorted out his equipment and prepared to move on.

This incident gave Jiang Sheng a lot of inspiration. He realized that to survive in the wild, one must not only have strong combat skills, but also be flexible in strategy and be good at using the environment and resources. In addition, it is equally important to have a variety of equipment and skills, and be able to cope with different situations with ease, so as to have a chance of survival in a dangerous environment.

Jiang Sheng knows that the road ahead is still long and every experience is an opportunity for growth. He needs to keep learning and making progress to gain a foothold in this world full of unknowns and challenges. Now, he has learned how to survive in adversity and how to find opportunities in desperate situations. This experience will be his most valuable asset.

The bearded man at the front had just thought of dodging when a shower of steel balls began to pour down like a rainstorm, hitting the surrounding bushes, vines and trees, making a "puff puff" sound like dense drum beats. The burly man, who was the focus of the shooting, was naturally not spared, with at least seven or eight steel balls deeply embedded in his face, body, arms and thighs.

"Be careful to hide, the other party has a gun..." Before he finished speaking, another gunshot was heard. The bearded man was caught off guard and was shot again. It was as if he had instantly turned into a sieve full of holes. At least twenty steel balls pierced his body, and one of them accurately hit his eyeball, bursting it!
