Chapter 500 Taming the Giant Eagle
Looking at the giant eagle lying on the ground, Wang Tao seemed to have thought of something and was a little unsure. After all, he didn't insert the spear. He put away his weapon and walked directly off the back of the giant eagle.
The effect of [Curse: Execution] still lasts for two minutes. If the giant eagle takes the opportunity to attack, he only needs a ray to completely kill the giant eagle.
Wang Tao is two meters tall, but when he stands in front of the giant eagle at close range, he is not as tall as its hook-like beak.
The giant eagle's bloodshot golden eyes stared closely at Wang Tao, seeming a little scared.
Wang Tao reached out and touched the giant eagle's beak. The giant eagle didn't resist at all.
"really……"
Although Wang Tao couldn't help but know some animal language, the shrill cry of the giant eagle just now made him feel the meaning of "stop fighting, I surrender."
It is estimated that the giant eagle must have felt the death aura of [Curse: Execution].
The giant eagle is similar to Lightning. They are mutant beasts that are not infected with the zombie virus. They have a clear mind and are very smart, so they are not afraid of death like most zombies.
Being smart means being able to communicate, so it begged for mercy before dying. Although Wang Tao couldn't understand its words and didn't dare to use his mental power to communicate at will, he could still feel the mournful cry of the giant eagle.
Therefore, Wang Tao's spear did not strike down. He first checked to see if his guess was true.
Looking at the giant eagle looking like this now, it proves my guess.
"Are you scared now? Are you begging for mercy? Didn't you have a lot of fun chasing me before?"
Wang Tao patted the giant eagle's beak.
Chirp——
The giant eagle barked softly, as if it was very aggrieved - it just came out to look for food. The food escaped a few times, but this time it was almost killed by the food... It should have known this result earlier, it fought Death will never come.
"It's okay if I let you go, show your sincerity."
Wang Tao said again.
The giant eagle could obviously understand Wang Tao's words, and it immediately nuzzled Wang Tao with its mouth.
Wang Tao wasn't sure what the giant eagle meant, but it had spiritual power. After determining that the giant eagle couldn't threaten him, Wang Tao immediately used spiritual communication with the giant eagle.
The giant eagle's slightly frightened eyes suddenly lit up. It didn't expect that Wang Tao could communicate with it in this way.
Wang Tao's eyes also lit up. After he saw the giant eagle surrendering, he wondered if he could trick the giant eagle into doing things for him, like lightning.
In the end, there was no need for him to waste any words. That was what the giant eagle thought - it expressed its willingness to recognize Wang Tao as its master and asked Wang Tao not to kill it.
If there could be such a giant eagle that listened to him, if nothing else, it could at least carry him flying. This is a benefit that no amount of crystal cores can buy!
Since the end of the world, there has been an energy that has enveloped the sky like an invisible hand. Any electronic product that comes into contact with this energy will be paralyzed. This is called a no-fly zone. Moreover, this no-fly zone continues to descend, and it is estimated that it will fall to the ground before long, damaging all electronic equipment.
So even though airplanes can still be used now, few people use them because of the danger.
Wang Tao's helicopter was still parked at the Sixth Army Corps, and he was unwilling to take the risk of driving it.
But it would be different if this giant eagle could carry him flying. Wang Tao had just experienced the speed of a giant eagle, which was no worse than an airplane.
But there is also a problem -
Lightning follows Wang Tao voluntarily, treats Wang Tao as his master, is very close to Wang Tao, and will not attack Wang Tao. But this giant eagle is obviously forced. What if it is a rebel?
If it took Wang Tao to a high altitude and dropped him suddenly, Wang Tao would definitely die.
So after the giant eagle expressed its surrender, Wang Tao hesitated again.
Should he kill the giant eagle and reap the spoils; or should he let the giant eagle go and let the giant eagle follow him?
The former saves trouble, but the benefits are limited. The latter is troublesome, but the benefits are greater, and you can also get a powerful partner...
The giant eagle seemed to be able to sense Wang Tao's hesitation. It immediately used its huge mouth to gently rub Wang Tao's body, and then barked twice, wanting to talk to Wang Tao.
Like lightning, it was not hatched by Wang Tao using his blood. It cannot communicate directly with telepathy like Xiao Hei. They also do not have the ability to communicate mentally... so they can only use Wang Tao's mental power on his own initiative. Express yourself. It is similar to a mobile phone that can only answer calls but cannot actively make calls.
Hearing the cry of the giant eagle, Wang Tao used his mental power to communicate again.
Giant Eagle told Wang Tao about his life experience and said that it had an owner before, and its owner was a herdsman.
After the end of the world, its owner's wife turned into a zombie and bit her owner to death. It had no choice but to run away, and then it evolved in a daze, and it gained its current strength...
This is also the reason why it chose to surrender if it couldn't defeat Wang Tao, because it knew that surrendering would have a certain probability of saving its life. It has no master now, so surrendering is not considered a betrayal of the master...
It told Wang Tao this to say that it had once had an owner, had been tamed, knew how to get along with the owner, and would never betray the owner, so that Wang Tao could rest assured.
As for its previous owner, Wang Tao also briefly asked. It was still an ordinary animal at that time and doesn't remember much. All it knows is that its owner was an old man. After it was caught in the old man's trap, it stayed up for about seven days and seven nights before finally surrendering to the old man. After that, he helped the old man hunt, even guarded the sheep and so on.
Then there was its species. Wang Tao didn't know much about animals and didn't know what kind of eagle it was. It told Wang Tao that the old man used to call it a golden eagle...
"It turned out to be a golden eagle. No wonder it grew so big..."
Wang Tao looked at the golden eagle's hair again. Before, it was always in the sky while Wang Tao and others were on the ground, so it looked black. Now if you look at it from a closer distance, the golden eagle's hair is actually a bit brown, similar to the golden eagle Wang Tao had seen on TV before.
Wang Tao thought about it and decided to believe the golden eagle.
He used mental power to communicate, which had an advantage, that is, he could judge whether the other party was lying. He felt that the golden eagle should not have lied to him, unless the golden eagle's mental power was stronger than his, but this was obviously impossible, otherwise the golden eagle would have resisted with mental power long ago.
However, to be on the safe side, Wang Tao asked a question in the end.
"Was your previous owner really bitten to death by zombies? Instead of being killed by you?"
It's no wonder Wang Tao thought so. After all, the golden eagle just said that it was caught by the previous owner in a trap and survived for seven or eight days. Maybe it would have some hatred for the previous owner... If it really killed the previous owner, then Wang Tao would have to think about it.
The golden eagle immediately explained.
After listening, Wang Tao was a little surprised and a little amused.
The golden eagle said that although it was caught by the previous owner, it did not hate the other party. Because when it was still wild, it often went hungry and had to guard against poachers killing it. But since it followed the previous owner, it has never been hungry and does not have to worry about poachers. If it is not the end of the world, it can spend the rest of its life in peace.
So it is too late to be grateful. After the death of the previous owner, it was sad for a long time...
And the golden eagle not only did not kill its owner, it even did not eat people at all.
Because it saw with its own eyes that the wife of its previous owner turned into a zombie and bit the previous owner to death, and then the previous owner turned into a zombie to bite it. It doesn't know whether humans have viruses in their bodies, and it doesn't want to become a zombie golden eagle.
So even if it vaguely feels that "zombies must not be eaten, but humans can probably be eaten", it is unwilling to take risks.
This also solves one of Wang Tao's doubts-no wonder there is no impurity in the golden eagle's body. It turns out that it protects itself very well, let alone viruses, and has not even been exposed to impurities in its body.
But this makes Wang Tao have another doubt.
"Since you don't eat people, why do you keep chasing me?"
Hearing this, the golden eagle said aggrievedly that it was not chasing Wang Tao, but the golden fruit in Wang Tao's hand.
It was attracted by the breath of the golden fruit this time, so it flew over.
Then it saw Wang Tao and his group coming out of the crack, and it didn't expect to meet Wang Tao again. It was not interested in Wang Tao, but only in the golden fruit in Wang Tao's hand.
Although it couldn't find the golden fruit for a while, it saw Xiao Hei!
The golden eagle hadn't eaten for several days, so it wanted to catch Xiao Hei and fill its stomach. It would come to Wang Tao after it was full, and it smelled the scent of the golden fruit on Wang Tao again... All this was a good idea, but Wang Tao countered it right away.
"You want to eat this..."
Wang Tao flipped his palm, and a golden awakening fruit appeared in his hand.
One benefit of eating awakening fruit is that "non-humans above level 3 will slightly increase their physical fitness after eating it", and the golden eagle was obviously doing this.
"Eat it."
Wang Tao threw the fruit directly to the golden eagle.
Compared with the size of the awakening fruit and the beak of the golden eagle, it was like a sesame seed. But the golden eagle was very excited, as if it had eaten a delicacy in the world, and its tired expression instantly became much more energetic.
This made the golden eagle feel that it was right to surrender, and maybe it wouldn't be hungry again!
"Still eating?"
Another awakening fruit appeared in Wang Tao's hand.
"Chi~"
The golden eagle was a little greedy, but shook his head.
This fruit takes time to digest, and it is a waste to eat it continuously.
"Okay, then keep it for now and eat it later."
Wang Tao smiled, and then said.
"What was your name before? Let me give it a new name...Okay, then I'll call you Xiao Jin."
"Chiu~"
Wang Tao felt that the golden eagle was very satisfied, so he asked again:
"Then can you still fly?"
When he communicated with the golden eagle, the curse effect on the golden eagle had disappeared.
"Chiu——"
"Very good. Then let's go, go home with me to heal."
Wang Tao jumped on the back of the golden eagle, and the golden eagle flapped its wings and slowly rose into the air. Then it suddenly accelerated and flew into the heavy snow in an instant.
Because there was no windshield on the back of the golden eagle, when the strong wind blew in his face, Wang Tao was very uncomfortable. He subconsciously grabbed the feathers of the golden eagle and couldn't open his eyes.
Fortunately, Wang Tao has a strong physical fitness and is no longer an ordinary human. After some adaptation, he quickly got used to this environment and opened his eyes wide.
Feeling the snowflakes hitting him and the biting cold wind blowing in his face, Wang Tao felt very happy, much more comfortable than flying a plane!
"It's so cool! But you fly slowly, I'll find the way..."
Wang Tao and the golden eagle were fighting all the way, and the golden eagle didn't know where it flew to, but only remembered that it was probably flying south.
Wang Tao asked the golden eagle to fly slowly, while he looked at the offline map and compass, and at the environment below... After a lot of tossing, Wang Tao finally found the reference.
"Good man, we flew so far! No wonder the induction ring can't contact us at all..."
Wang Tao immediately let the golden eagle fly towards the Changhe base. Not long after, Wang Tao saw a magnificent black city appearing in the ice and snow.
"This speed is really fast!"
Wang Tao sighed, and then used the induction ring again.
"Sister-in-law, are you okay?"
"Wang Tao! We are all fine. We just entered the city! Cheng Yiyi has contacted the committee, and the six major legions are ready to go out to find you. Where are you? Are you okay?"
Ding Yuqin's voice was a little crying.
The situation this time is different from the past. In the past, Wang Tao was sure when he took risks. But this time, she didn't know whether Wang Tao was sure or not. She only knew that if the giant eagle took Wang Tao to the sky, even if the giant eagle died, Wang Tao might fall to his death!
This has nothing to do with Wang Tao's strength. It's purely because Wang Tao has no ability to fly, so they are all worried about accidents.
"Of course I'm fine. As for where I am... look up."
...
Inside the base, Ding Yuqin and her group had just passed the security check.
Cheng Yiyi had just contacted the committee and quickly told them about Wang Tao.
The committee also knew that Wang Tao had reached the fifth level!
When they heard that Wang Tao had fought with the giant eagle and was taken away by the giant eagle, they immediately and decisively sent out the army to find Wang Tao.
This is the principal of the Awakening School and the top combat force in the base! They will definitely find a way to rescue him, even if there are sacrifices!
Ding Yuqin and the other girls' eyes were a little red. When they were about to follow the army to look for Wang Tao outside, they suddenly received news from Wang Tao.
This made Ding Yuqin cry with joy. She shouted:
"Wang Tao is back! He is fine!"
Hearing this, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then instantly breathed a sigh of relief. They knew that Wang Tao was using the induction ring to contact Wang Tao.
"Where is he!"
Cheng Yiyi asked quickly.
"He... asked us to look up?"
Ding Yuqin was a little confused, but she subconsciously looked up.
Others also looked up, and then saw a dark shadow falling from the sky.
"That's... the giant eagle! It's coming to attack the base!"
"Wait! There seems to be a person standing on the back of the giant eagle..."
"That's... Wang Tao?!"
"Fuck! What's going on!"
