Ita Era

Chapter 71 The Primitive Era (6)

At the summit, surrounded by cliffs, a man is bound by iron chains that are embedded deep in the rocks, securing him firmly to the ground.

The man's abdomen was opened, and his internal organs were clearly visible.

With a cry of an eagle, a huge eagle swooped down and landed beside the man, relentlessly pecking at his liver. With each peck, the man let out a scream of excruciating pain. In less than 10 seconds, only a small piece of liver remained. The satiated eagle took flight, circling hundreds of meters above the cliff.

This eagle has a wingspan of 6.5 meters, a height of 180 centimeters, and a weight of 170 kilograms, far exceeding modern people's understanding of eagles.

Ding Shi and the others were in a safe zone at a high altitude, where they could see everything.

Ding Shi said, "The Bloodthirsty Eagle. Legend has it that after Prometheus stole fire, Zeus said that if he could get the fire back, he would be pardoned. Prometheus refused and was chained to a cliff by Zeus, who sent a bloodthirsty eagle to peck at his liver every moment. Each time it was pecked, Prometheus's liver would miraculously regenerate."

As they were talking, Xiao Pu's liver had fully healed.

Ding Shi added, "This is why the liver is the only organ among all internal organs that can regenerate." This conclusion is a result of combining science and metaphysics.

Wang Meng expressed doubt: "How do you know?"

Ding Shi rolled his eyes: "I went to high school."

Su Su chimed in, "Is the BOSS an eagle, or Prometheus? And where is the spark?"

Ding pointed: "Liver."

Upon closer inspection, the three noticed what appeared to be red dots inside the liver, making it appear bulging and swollen.

Before any further discussion could take place, the eagle swooped down and resumed pecking at its prey, oblivious to the three humans a hundred meters away in a safe zone.

Wang Meng said, "Ding Shi and Su Su will hold back the eagle, and I will dig out the fire seed."

Ding Shi subconsciously retorted, "Why should I be the one to restrain the eagle?"

Wang Meng: "You dig up the tinder."

Ding Shi: "Why should I be the one to dig for the fire?"

Wang Meng: "What do you suggest we do?"

Ding Shi: "Why should I say what to do?"

Su Su was speechless and said, "I'm the captain, what I say goes."

Ding Shi and Wang Meng looked at Su Su at the same time: When did you become the captain? What makes you think you can become the captain? Did we agree to this?

Su Su, oblivious to everything, pulled out a musket: "Ding Shi and I will hold off the eagle, while Wang Meng digs up the tinder."

Wang Meng wanted to argue, "Wasn't this my suggestion?" But after all, he was thirty-two years old, and he instinctively felt that arguing with them would make him seem particularly childish.

The eagle took flight, and Su Su brandished her musket: "Go!"

The three ran toward Xiao Pu. The eagle, which had been flying a hundred meters above the ground, spotted the enemy and immediately flipped over and swooped down from east to west toward the three little ones on the cliff.

Su Su raised the musket in her left hand and slammed it down on the butt with her right, shouting, "Salvation to all directions!" The musket flew like a drawn sword, striking the eagle's chest.

Ding Shi wondered, "Why do we have to read it out loud?" This was a question that had been bothering him for a long time.

The stick struck the eagle's chest, and the eagle screamed as it fell to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust. Su Su caught the ricocheting musket; against the backdrop of dust, she looked incredibly majestic and imposing.

Su Su said, "At Ding Shi, I'm gone."

Ding Shi: "What's gone?" Su Su: "I can't use the Force for 10 minutes."

Wang roared, "A knife! I don't have a knife!" He had already reached Xiao Pu's side.

Ding Shi drew a willow-leaf throwing knife and flung it over. Wang Meng was startled; how could he intercept it? If he didn't, it would fly right away. Without thinking, Wang Meng reached out to grab the knife. Because of the distance, the knife's momentum had waned, but it was not something a human hand could easily grasp. In the end, the knife pierced straight into Wang Meng's left forearm.

Ding Shi: "You're welcome."

Wang Meng endured it! After all, it was his own fault. He originally thought he could pry the fire out with his hands, but he didn't expect that Xiao Pu's liver was more resilient than the scavenger's skin, and blunt force could not break through the skin.

On the other side, the eagle was already on high alert, looking at the two people 10 meters away. Ding Shi wondered, "Could it be that it wants to fight on foot?" Air Force Marines?

The eagle swooped down, its talons retracting, and flapped its wings, swooping down on Ding Shi. Ding Shi dodged behind a rock on his left, a rock that blended seamlessly with the mountain peak. The eagle's talons scratched the rock, leaving three marks of varying depths. Without changing direction, the eagle flew west, raised its body, turned, and swooped down on Ding Shi and Su Su.

Wang roared, "There's no container!"

Ding shouted, "Whatever." The distance was quite far, so communication relied entirely on shouting.

Wang Meng roared, "What do you mean, 'whatever'?" The tinder was dug out, but it was very hot. In just a second, Wang Meng's left hand was burned.

Ding shouted, "Throw it into the shorts." The shorts were designed to be indestructible.

Wang roared, "I'll throw you nuts!"

Ding Shi hid behind a rock, dodging the eagle's attack once more. The eagle flew forward, executing its usual maneuver of rising, turning, and swooping down. However, this time its target wasn't Ding Shi and Su Su, but Wang Meng, who was helpless against the fire seed.

"Get out of the way, you idiot," Ding Shi couldn't help but warn him.

With no rocks for cover, Wang Meng could only gather his strength and sprint. The eagle changed course in the air, its eyes fixed on its prey, Wang Meng. Just as its talons were about to strike, a throwing knife shot into the eagle's wing.

Wang Meng looked at Ding Shi in despair: "Thank you for the throwing knife."

The next second, a bolt of lightning struck the eagle's body, paralyzing it for 0.5 seconds. The eagle's body went limp, landing beside Wang Meng, kicking up a cloud of dust that rolled ten meters away. The throwing knife was coated with a golden lightning talisman, its conductivity was excellent.

Ding Shi sprinted like a baseball runner, sliding to the Eagle's side. He used two fingers of his right hand to gouge out the Eagle's right eye, and with his left hand, he pulled out a rolled-up talisman from the hollow vine at his waist and flicked it onto the Eagle's neck.

The eagle's right eye was gouged out and bled. In pain, it flapped its wings with all its might, sending Ding Shi flying several meters.

The eagle took off, but Ding Shi made a hand seal with his left hand, detonating the Golden Thunder Talisman, and the eagle landed again.

Ding Shi ran towards the eagle and shouted, "Screw you, help me!"

Ding Shi slid forward, grabbed the eagle's head with both hands, and spun into the air. This move is called the Death Roll, originating from crocodiles, used in freestyle wrestling for performance, and later evolved into a grappling technique. This move can break an opponent's arm. However, the eagle's neck was incredibly resilient; it spun 360 degrees without breaking it, and it was able to use its neck to throw Ding Shi away.

The next second, Wang Meng, as big as a calf, crashed into the eagle, sending it tumbling nearly ten meters across the ground. Wang Meng got up and gave chase, but the eagle took to the air first.

Ding Shi held a Golden Thunder Talisman in his left hand and a throwing knife in his right. He attached the Golden Thunder Talisman to the throwing knife and shot it toward the eagle fifteen meters away.

The eagle was already in a panic and didn't notice the throwing knife. However, the knife couldn't penetrate its defenses and couldn't pierce the eagle's chest skin. But lightning arrived as expected, knocking the eagle back to the ground.

Wang Meng arrived and leaped up to strike the eagle with his elbow. An ordinary person would have several broken ribs from such a blow, but the eagle remained sturdy.

Wang Meng pressed down on the eagle's neck below its head with his left hand, and slammed his right fist into the eagle's head, causing it to become dizzy. The force was mutual, and blood seeped from Wang Meng's fist.

Wang Meng roared, overcoming the pain, and continued to strike: "Come help me!"

Ding Shi had already arrived at the battlefield. He raised the stone high with both hands, converting the Force into power.
