Chapter 24
"It's a two-headed horned eagle!"
Get up and listen carefully in the direction of the ear-piercing screams that are becoming clearer and more obvious. The first Desolate Snake warrior who reacted hastily sounded a warning, and then he glanced at Gail with some puzzlement, thinking that the bearded Gail This mouth is really unlucky, it will come out whatever it says.
"Hey, it's none of my business!"
Seeing everyone staring at him with different expressions, Gail jumped anxiously.
"Stop making trouble, prepare to be vigilant!"
"Yes--"
In the voice of the Prophet Jiji's scolding, the team members finally put away their joking expressions, quickly set up a battle formation and entered the battle state.
"Master Sylvia, I'm going to trouble you again."
"no problem."
The orc warriors surrounded the outer circle, while Jiji, Ling Xiao, Silvia and Ota, who was a healer, were guarded in the center.Sylvia nodded to Jiji beside him. During this period of time, the tall man who had been quiet for a long time raised the Thunder Snake Staff again. After a difficult chant, the rune chains glowing with cyan brilliance wrapped everyone around. The whole platform is surrounded by—
"Sonic blockade."
Under Sylvia's 'Sound Wave Blockade', sounds within the range cannot be transmitted, and sounds outside the range are also unable to be transmitted. It is an effective way to restrain the sharp cry of the double-headed horned eagle.
The double-headed horned eagle, which is at the level of a beast, besides its sharp claws and sharp beak and its eight-meter-wide wingspan, is the scariest thing about it is the two heads with protruding horns and resonating chambers. They sing each other to produce resonance noises .The piercing high-pitched sound can be confusing, or even cause coma or death if it is serious. With the advantage of the air, it is a creature that is more difficult to deal with than the same level of the giant ground-piercing mountain spider.
Amidst the sound of cries, a blurred black spot appeared in the valley in the distance, and it tended to become bigger and bigger, and it was rushing towards this side.
Everyone in the team was 12 very careful, and when they could see the gray, black, and black feather patterns on the horned eagle's body, everyone's faces turned dark immediately——
Thales is on!
Who will tell them, when did the solitary double-headed horned eagles start to act in groups like those burrowing Dreadclaw beasts?At this time, in the sky of the canyon, what is it that is densely packed, with as many as forty or fifty heads swooping over here!
"Latent—"
"Lucky Reversal—"
"Holy Light Barrier!"
Wild Snake patriarch Silvia made a decisive decision and interrupted the chanting of the sound wave blockade.Together with the Prophet Jiji and the centaur life mage Ota, the three of them subconsciously recited the instantaneous group invisibility, damage reflection and defensive barrier almost the moment they saw the situation clearly.At a critical juncture, even if the magician hesitated for half a second, he and his teammates might lose their lives.Facing the desperate situation under the siege of dozens of beast-level horned eagles at this moment, the group of people whose hearts sank to the bottom of the valley can only do their best to obey the destiny and hope for a miracle to happen.
The noisy screeching sound suddenly overwhelmed the sky——
The wings of the double-headed horned eagle covering the sky and the sun are blowing violent air currents, and small pieces of gravel are constantly cracking and falling. The blood-red horns on the head of the giant bird are bright and ferocious, and the sharp maroon eyes are piercing through many barriers in the air. , as if he could see clearly the invisible people below.
Another horrific cry—
Prophet Jiji's rebound enchantment finally broke, and under the shattered golden light, the second layer of lucky reversal was quickly replaced.
When everyone's palms were sweating, the two-headed eagle, which was the first to reach the top of the platform, only glanced at the defensive barrier shining with magical brilliance, and then flapped its wings, rubbing its rough and huge claws Clinging to the edge of the defensive cover, it quickly went away.
Then came the second, third, fourth...
Until all the horned eagles flew past quickly, and continued to sprint forward amidst the howling sounds one after another, and when they turned into small black spots in the eyes of the team members again, everyone was still stunned. It was really a miracle. Appeared?
"What the hell is going on here?"
Ryder beside Gail swallowed, let go of the long sword in his hand, and stuttered.
The group members looked at each other, but no one could answer.No one can explain why these solitary horned eagles are abnormally grouped together, and they have excellent eyesight and aggressive habits, and they hurriedly ignore everyone and fly away as if their buttocks were burned. What's going on?
"My lord, look—"
Everyone looked at the prophet Jiji in the crowd, and Jiji happened to cast his gaze on Ling Xiao who was covering his ears with Basil. Before he frowned and made a sound, the pale Ling Xiao pulled away Basil's hand hand--
"...Flee, everyone run away."
Ling Xiao faced the crowd, but raised his slightly trembling fingers and pointed behind them.Except for his inadvertent glance back, everyone was tense just now, staring straight at the direction where the large group of double-headed horned eagles left, and no one thought of looking back again.
At this moment, after Ling Xiao made his voice, the team members subconsciously followed his white fingertips to look into the distance—the other end of this slender canyon, where the group of two-headed horned eagles came, was originally a tall and straight place. Those mountains and cliffs, or the sky with low clouds in the distance, have been completely submerged in a pitch-black ink in just a moment!Even the Eye of Thales, which had been hanging in the sky not too far away, also lost its trace. Looking up, a huge black whirlwind that almost covered the entire sky was approaching——
At this time, the crowd was a little silly, and the prophet Jiji was the first to recover and shouted: "Run!"
The people who were awakened by the shock began to run back along the way they came, and no one cared about talking anymore.If everyone could still hope for a miracle when they met the group of beast-level horned eagles just now, then if they were involved in this black vortex that could even cover the mountains and the sky at this moment, they would definitely die.
It was a violent force of nature that human beings could not resist at all.
"The cave we passed halfway before can go in and hide, everyone hurry up, hurry up!"
While Gigi was talking, she kept walking, and looked back at the completely dark and increasingly oppressive storm curtain, as if she was about to gather the whole world into her belly, greedily devouring everything along the way.
Is this the ominous omen I felt that day?
The wind mingled with the coldness had already blown from behind in bursts, and in just an instant, the huge death whirlwind that covered the sky and the earth drew closer to everyone again.
On the narrow mountain path, there is an unfathomable canyon and abyss below. In fact, the speed advantage of the orcs cannot be fully utilized, but Ling Xiao still gradually falls behind the crowd.At this time, he was almost at the end of his strength, and he was just holding on to his breath.There was a dull pain in his chest, and there were buzzing sounds in both ears. Although the terrifying resonance emitted by the double-headed horned eagle just now was offset by the prophet Jiji's enchantment and most of it bounced off, the remaining small part of the resonance damage , is still too powerful for Ling Xiao.
And Basil held his hand tightly, and Ling Xiao couldn't tell him to let go of his hand, so he could only force himself to keep up with the running speed of the team.Fortunately, after turning a corner in the mountain road, the narrow cave that Gigi mentioned was already far ahead.
"quick!"
The Prophet Jiji only had one fast word, and everyone didn't need him to say anything more. Everyone present could understand how critical the situation was.
The rumbling sound of a tsunami-like earthquake seemed to be behind him, and the entire mountain at the bottom of his feet was trembling, and countless large and small broken stones began to fall from the sides, feet, and top of his head.Everyone's eyes are fixed on the front at this moment, the entrance of the cave is not too far away, the boundary between life and death is on the other side, no one dares to look back, only forward!
One step, two steps, three steps, the entrance of the cave is getting closer, and the curtain of the black storm behind is also getting closer.
"Thales is on top!"
The first orc warrior who arrived cheered, and rushed into the entrance, then the second, and the third, one after another, the team members were urged by the wind pressure that cut their shoulders like knives. Do your best and make a final sprint towards the entrance of the cave!
"Ling Xiao! Basil!"
The prophet Gigi who entered the cave called out to the two of them at the entrance. In fact, there was no other sound except the horrible rumbling around. We could only judge by Jiji's mouth opening and closing and anxious expression. He was urging Basil and Ling Xiao to hurry up.
Basil raised his arm silently, and even the movement of raising his hand became extremely laborious under the severe wind pressure. He tried to protect the black-haired young man in his arms from being injured by the falling rubble.Gritting his teeth, Basil almost hugged Ling Xiao in the end, and led him towards the rock hole that represented the last chance of life——
As for Ling Xiao, whose face was pale, countless small wounds were drawn on his face by the wind blade that had been forced close, but in an instant he seemed to feel something, and he raised his head extremely keenly, and in the next second, under the curtain of death, the two of them were cut off. Before the final shroud, Ling Xiao erupted with terrifying force, pushing Basil violently towards Jiji who was reaching out to the two of them——
He should have noticed these unusual things earlier.Ling Xiao thought with some regret.
"Ling Xiao—!"
In the inner eye rift of the original ecology, even the sky and climate are different from Terra, all are projections of another plane world.
Whether it's the wind moss that grows flat and close to the ground, or the Bugui wood with all its branches facing one side, or the Dinoclaw that is good at digging crypts, the four pairs of legs can pierce the ground and stick tightly to the rocks. The giant mountain spiders and other creatures, by the way, there are also those smooth and smooth cliffs that have been cut and polished.Obviously, his profession is often able to understand these things. He should have noticed the cycle of mutual influence and mutual adaptation between the climate environment and organisms.
All of these are all due to the perennial wind and disasters, which made it possible to create such a magical landform, as well as those animals and plants with strange habits.
"Well!"
Don't look so distressed, Basil.
Although he pushed Basil away, Ling Xiao himself was hit by a corner of the huge rock falling from the sky, which happened to hit the old wound close to his shoulder. He was so painful that he couldn't speak for a moment, and only uttered There was a small muffled grunt.
Basil has always been taken care of, but he wants to stand side by side with him and protect Basil in times of crisis. This kind of thought is like a small but tenacious fire, burning in Ling Xiao's chest from time to time, and never subsides for a moment.Ling Xiao thought with a wry smile in his heart——he might still be too greedy.
Hit by the strong inertia of the stone, he fell backwards. Against the background of the ominous and hideous evil abyss, the weak and slender gray-white body seemed to be a supreme sacrifice, which was quickly swept by violently. Greedy embraced by the darkness of the Tao.
