Rebirth in Another World: My Brother is an Intelligent Being

Judging from its fur, it looks like a mutant jackal, but its body is as big as a wind wolf, and its open mouth is full of metal structures.

Li Xingchen could instantly determine that this was definitely not a creature from nature, but a mixture of machine and jackal.

"Have you ever encountered this thing before?" Li Xingchen turned and asked Li Shaohua.

Li Shaohua frowned and shook his head, "I haven't encountered that before."

Ha! Li Xingchen sneered. It seemed like they were targeting him and his brother.

Number Zero stood beside Li Xingchen, slightly sideways, protecting Li Xingchen behind him, staring at the mechanical jackal with vigilant eyes.

The mechanical jackal's eyes flashed with a strange red light, and a low growl came from its throat, as if warning them.

Zero didn't seem too willing to waste time with them.

He flashed and disappeared instantly. Before the mechanical jackal could react, Zero appeared behind it.

A dagger emitting a cold dark light appeared in Zero's hand at some point, and he stabbed the mechanical jackal in the back of the neck without hesitation.

That was the weak spot of this mechanical creature. Zero hit it with one blow. The mechanical jackal's body suddenly stiffened, and then fell to the ground with a "bang". The red light in its eyes went out instantly, and it was completely motionless.

However, things are not that simple.

The fall of the mechanical jackal seemed to be a signal, and roars suddenly rang out one after another in the surrounding woods.

Immediately afterwards, a group of mechanical jackals rushed out from all directions and surrounded Li Xingchen and others. Li Xingchen took a look and saw that there were twenty or thirty of them.

Li Xingchen frowned and tightened the dagger in his hand, preparing for the upcoming battle.

Li Shaohua showed fear on his face. He and Ye Feifei were injured. If something happened to Li Xingchen and Zero, he would have almost no ability to resist facing so many mechanical jackals.

Zero remained calm. He looked up into the sky with cold eyes.

He whispered to Li Xingchen, "Xingchen, you are responsible for protecting them."

Li Xingchen nodded obediently, looked up at the sky in confusion, but found nothing.

Number Zero slowly took a few steps forward and entered the circle of jackals. Li Xingchen immediately turned his attention back to Number Zero so that he could take action at any time if there was any danger.

However, Li Xingchen was completely overthinking it. He saw Number Zero split into six in an instant. The six figures shuttled through the wolf pack like ghosts. Their speed was so fast that people could hardly see their figures.

With every swing of his dagger, a mechanical jackal fell. His movements were swift and fluid, like a graceful yet deadly dance, like the coming of death, mercilessly reaping these mechanical creatures.

Li Shaohua watched this scene on Xiao Hei's back, secretly marveling at Zero's strength.

Under Zero's attack, the number of mechanical jackals decreased rapidly. Suddenly, one of the jackals could no longer hold back and pounced on Zero desperately.

Zero seemed to sense something, and one of his clones suddenly jumped into the air, spinning his body and throwing the dagger in his hand, leaving a black afterimage.

The dagger hit the mechanical jackal's brain. With a "bang", a muffled sound was heard in the air, and the mechanical jackal exploded in the air and turned into a pile of scrap metal.

The remaining clones attacked even faster, and in just a moment, twenty or thirty mechanical jackals were all wiped out by Zero.

All the clones turned into black smoke and gathered in the air. With a "bang", a translucent mechanical bird the size of a palm appeared in Zero's hand.

The mechanical bird's head drooped limply, and the light in its eyes had gone. It was obvious that it had been destroyed from the inside by Zero.

Zero landed slowly on the ground, his expression still calm. He raised his hand and cut off the head of a mechanical jackal, and put it into the watch space along with the mechanical bird.

Li Xingchen stepped forward and asked, "Brother, are you okay? What just happened was just...?"

He knew at a glance that it was the same mechanical bird that had followed them last time.

Zero nodded, his expression normal. The battle just now was just a small matter to him, and he didn't even breathe.

He responded to Li Xingchen gently, "I'm fine."

Li Xingchen knew that it was not appropriate to say anything else now, so he nodded and said, "Then let's go find Ouyang Siyu and the others."

The few of them continued to move forward and did not encounter any other ambushes along the way. After a while of running around, they finally arrived at the location Ouyang Siyu had located.

Under the moonlight, what comes into view is a green meadow on the slope, and the village below the slope can be seen in the distance.

There was a faint aroma of barbecue in the air. Li Xingchen's heart moved and he guessed that it was Zhang Xuanyi who set up the maze.

Li Xingchen called out from outside, "Brother Siyu, we're here, come out and carry the person away."

After a while, Ouyang Siyu and Zhang Xuanyi appeared out of thin air in front of them. Seeing the two injured people on Xiao Hei's back, both of them were a little surprised.

"Xiao Xingchen, what's going on?" Ouyang Siyu asked.

Li Xingchen briefly recounted the events and also told about his encounter with the mechanical jackal.

Ouyang Siyu originally wanted to give up the tent to the two wounded soldiers, but Li Shaohua had already made preparations.

However, he was injured and had been bumpy all the way because of Xiao Hei's mischief. He looked really pitiful now.

Zhang Xuanyi and Ouyang Siyu couldn't bear to see this, so they chose a place in the maze, set up a tent for the two of them, and helped them in.

During this gap, Li Xingchen and Zero were also accompanying them.

Ouyang Siyu had reminded them to buy equipment before they set out, so they were quite well prepared.

After arranging for the two injured to rest, the four of them gathered together and continued the previous topic.

"Mechanical jackal? That's strange. I didn't hear anyone else mention it during the handover." Zhang Xuanyi said with a frown.

Li Xingchen, "It might be targeting my brother and me. My brother and I have been followed by mechanical birds before."

Zero took out the jackal head and the mechanical bird and placed them in front of them.

Ouyang Siyu and Zhang Xuanyi each took one and observed it.

Henry Zhang said, "Why is the material of this mechanical bird... the same as the one in the academy?"

Li Xingchen nodded. "My brother and I suspected it was a modified version of the batch sold by the academy, but the quantity sold was so large that it's difficult to trace."

Ouyang Siyu studied the jackal's skull for a long time. "Except for the teeth, which are mechanical, the rest of the body is the flesh and blood of a normal Warcraft... A modified version of Warcraft? This technical approach is somewhat similar to Mo Cheng's..."

Zero didn't say anything, but a wisp of black mist flowed out from his fingertips. After a few clicks, the two objects were disintegrated, and two black square boxes appeared in front of everyone.

"This one has an explosive device inside, and it's quite powerful. This one can also self-detonate, but the power isn't as great, but it can transmit and store video in real time."

Ouyang Siyu was surprised. "Is this...someone wants to monitor you?"

Zero said nothing and put the two black boxes away.

Li Xingchen looked very unhappy.

Zhang Xuan said, "No matter what, as long as you are safe now, we also encountered half-beast birdmen here."
