175: Chapter 175 Aerial Combat Training!

Although King Kong and An Ke were strong,

this time, being able to kill a pterosaur without injury was still thanks to the Bamboo Forest.

Under the dense, tightly packed bamboo restraints, the pterosaur's combat power was reduced by at least half or more.

Once we leave the Bamboo Forest and reach open ground,

that will be the pterosaur family's home turf.

Not to mention there are so many pterosaurs.

An Ke, however, looked completely unfazed. "On the contrary, I'm afraid they'll be too scared to dare seek revenge."

"I'm very much coveting their delicious meat!"

Kata was speechless for a moment.

Wow! Only An Ke could say something like that so casually.

The opponent is a Dinosaur!

The former ruler of the skies.

Are you really showing them so little respect?

But for some reason, Kata felt that An Ke could actually do it.

This was unconditional trust in him.

Kata smiled. He truly hadn't expected this.

He had known An Ke for such a short time, yet the other had managed to leave such a deep impression on him.

"Lord An Ke, rest assured, I will fight alongside you."

"I will leave only after we have wiped out the Pterosaur Clan."

Kata spoke from the heart, his bold words expressing a desire to fight side by side with An Ke.

An Ke had saved his life.

He had saved the Dog Tycoon Country.

He had even enabled Dog Tycoon to achieve its first Thousand Times Materialization because of him.

"I think you just want to keep mooching food and drink off me, right?" An Ke laughed.

Hearing this, Kata's expression changed immediately, and he hurriedly said respectfully:

"Lord An Ke, I have no such thoughts."

"I sincerely want to follow you and..."

"Alright, alright! I was just joking," An Ke said with a laugh.

"Once we find the Giant Panda, your mission will be complete, and you won't need to follow us on further adventures."

Kata was too weak.

Once they left the Bamboo Forest and the pterosaur flock retaliated, he would surely get injured, or even die.

Kata wanted to say something more, but in the end, he kept his mouth shut.

He smiled. "I understand!"

"Thank you, Lord An Ke!!"

"If I am lucky enough to survive until the end of the [National Fortune Game], I will definitely visit you in Dragon Country."

"To properly express my gratitude."

An Ke couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, asking curiously, "Kata, how much money do you have in the real world?"

Kata gave a light laugh. "It's not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning."

"I don't really have much of a business mind. The wealth was all left to me by my father."

"So, how much is it?"

Seeing An Ke's interest, Kata thought seriously for a moment.

Then he said, "I'm not really interested in money, so I haven't calculated it carefully."

"Probably around 50 billion or so."

An Ke nodded, then patted Kata on the shoulder:

"Kata, you must definitely come visit me then."

Kata laughed heartily. "Definitely, definitely!"

"Lord An Ke, when the time comes, pick any gift you want. Anything under 2 billion is no problem."

After the jokes, Kata let out a long sigh.

He didn't know if there would even be a chance to return to reality by then.

...

After slaying a Female Pterosaur,

An Ke's group set off together once more.

Due to the thickening fog, their progress slowed even further.

By evening, An Ke's group still hadn't reached the place where Kata had seen the Giant Panda.

However, Kata confidently stated they would definitely arrive tomorrow.

So, An Ke's group once again set up Camp.

Another cleared area appeared in the Bamboo Forest.

The main dish for dinner was still pterosaur soup.

An Ke had intended to cook again, but the Female Monkeys confidently declared they had already learned how to make stewed soup.

Leaving it to them was no problem at all.

Thus, An Ke honorably retired from his position as chef once more.

As it turned out, the Female Monkeys' cooking talent was amazing.

The pterosaur soup they made was almost as delicious as An Ke's, still incredibly tasty.

Tonight was yet another exquisite dinner.

After dinner,

An Ke called for the Parrot, planning to test an idea he had.

"Your wish is my command!"

King Kong landed on An Ke's shoulder, tilting its head. "Master, what is your decree?"

"Fly up, then try to lift me," An Ke said.

King Kong was a bit confused. "Act like a crane?"

But it complied anyway, grabbing An Ke and lifting him into the air.

However, because King Kong's claws were relatively small,

An Ke's hands felt very uncomfortable being gripped by them.

So he changed his hold to grabbing King Kong's feet.

That was much more comfortable.

"King Kong, do you feel any hindrance in flying?" An Ke inquired.

"All is well!" King Kong replied.

"Great!" An Ke was pleased.

This way, he could indirectly achieve flight using this method.

"Next is to test aerial combat capability."

Thinking this, An Ke immediately let go of King Kong's feet.

He immediately fell from a height of roughly ten meters.

An Ke's heart didn't pound violently; he wasn't panicked at all.

With his current physique, a fall from this height wouldn't kill him.

While in the air, he immediately stomped with the soles of his feet.

The direction of his fall changed, and An Ke shot forward.

Simultaneously, an Iron Axe appeared in his hand, and he swung it forward.

A bamboo stalk split in two with a crack.

An Ke intended to stomp again, but he soon frowned slightly.

This time, he stomped into empty air.

In other words, that one stomp in the air already counted as activating his Double Jump.

"This is just as I thought."

"King Kong!!!!"

An Ke called for King Kong.

"Youth returns!!" King Kong rushed over quickly.

An Ke grabbed King Kong's feet and was once again lifted into the air.

"Excellent!"

King Kong's speed was faster than he had imagined.

At such a low altitude, King Kong could still catch him.

At higher altitudes, it went without saying.

Putting aside his thoughts, An Ke let go again.

Then he attempted a Double Jump.

This time, he once again stomped in mid-air, changing direction.

An Ke was overjoyed.

In other words, as long as he had a point of leverage after using his Double Jump,

he could activate Double Jump again.

Back at the Camp,

Kata watched in awe.

With King Kong and the Double Jump,

An Ke now possessed aerial combat capability.

Clearly, this was a test conducted in preparation for dealing with the pterosaur flock later.

Ahead, An Ke landed back on the ground.

He was pleased in his heart.

Kata was right; An Ke was indeed training to deal with the pterosaur flock.

King Kong was indeed strong, but its stamina wasn't great.

During the encounter with the Female Pterosaur, the first strike had stunned it.

It had forcefully knocked that massive creature to the ground.

But after that, King Kong's attacks seemed insufficient.

They dealt damage, but not much.

Such a "Three-Second Kong" wouldn't be able to face the entire Pterosaur Clan.

An Ke would have to take to the field himself.

Aerial combat was solved, but there was still another problem.

That was the issue of the axe's durability.

An Ke picked up the Iron Axe and examined it.

The blade edge was already somewhat dull.

"I must find a way to smelt harder iron."

"But technology and equipment are limited..." An Ke felt very helpless.

Forging high-quality iron in the wilderness was extremely difficult.

Actually, real pterosaur bones aren't that hard.

In fact, most of their bones are hollow to facilitate better flight.

But the pterosaurs in the [National Fortune Game] were clearly not like that.

Their bones were extremely hard.

And right at that moment, a light suddenly gleamed in An Ke's eyes.

Back at the Camp,

Three Hairs, who was sitting on the ground grooming its fur, suddenly shivered.
