Chapter 36 Meeting Between the Two Parties
The four people, who were already prepared, sprang from the snow pit in an instant, transforming into cheetahs in a sprinting state, and surrounded the bird-like energy beast that had fallen into the trap in the blink of an eye.
A crow.
The trap was not secure; even if a Source Energy Beast had not yet reached level one, it would have been able to destroy it.
But even that little bit of destruction gave them enough time to attack together and inflict sufficient damage on the crow with their weapons.
Long spear, axe, hammer, short sword.
They launched a fierce attack on the crow's wings and head simultaneously.
when--
Unlike the previous one, which successfully landed on birds that had fallen into the trap.
This time, however, they felt as if they had crashed into a thick steel plate.
The force of the recoil almost made their arms go numb, making it impossible for them to hold their weapons.
"This crow is strange!" one person said, grabbing his right wrist with his left hand to try and relieve the numbness.
He stared intently at the crow in the trap, only to find that the crow seemed to ignore them.
After Zhan Yi blocked their attack, he neither attacked them nor chose to fly away directly.
Instead, it aimed at the spider's abdomen, at the location of the venom sac, and pecked down.
"Wow!" The people who saw this scene exclaimed in unison.
They had witnessed firsthand just how corrosive the venom was.
This crow is actually going to drink the venom inside!
Is he courting death?
of course not!
A lively glint shone in the crow's eyes.
The mouth burrowed into the spider's abdomen, passed through the venom sac, and found a crystal the size of a grain of rice.
That's the source of the venom sac, and the essence of this spider-like energy beast.
Compared to humans, crows, as birds, have a clearer perception of the "treasures" on insects.
That's why, taking advantage of being hit in the air, it swooped down and snatched the spider's carcass.
For other birds, this might just be a meal, and not even the kind that's particularly tasty or easy to digest.
Just like how humans love to eat crabs, but would never casually eat the shell along with the crab.
Moreover, this spider also possesses a considerable amount of venom.
For some birds, it's like pufferfish meat is for humans.
It has a high chance of tasting delicious, but if the toxins are not thoroughly removed, it can become deadly.
Mixed with venom, he swallowed the essence of the venom sac directly.
"Wow!"
The crow cawed once, and then spread its wings again.
A gust of wind blew by, and the four people couldn't help but cover their faces and take several steps back.
"What happened?"
"Did this crow do it?"
"Isn't its feathers already very strong? How does it have a second ability?"
"Didn't you see it eat the venom sac? It's mutated again!"
"So what do we do now?"
"run--!"
The man who had given the order roared and then thrust his spear at the crow like a javelin.
However, at that moment he saw a hint of human mockery in the crow's eyes as it looked at him!
brush--
With a flap of its wings, the magnificent feathers that seemed to display a rainbow of colors in the sunlight now resembled a sharp blade.
They simply cut off the gun head.
He then used the momentum to knock the gun barrel away.
It's as if this isn't a long spear made of metal, but a wooden stick about the thickness of a little finger.
"Wow--!"
The crow cawed strangely, and the four of them immediately felt nauseous.
He hadn't run more than ten steps when he couldn't help but clutch his stomach and dry heave.
And what about this crow?
But it seemed like a lion surveying its territory, walking step by step toward them.
Each time it takes a step, more than a dozen feathers fall off its body.
However, new feathers will soon grow from the shed parts, and within a distance of a dozen steps, the crow's feathers seem to have been completely replaced.
The dark feathers reflected the sunlight.
It carries a touch of mysterious nobility.
"Wow!"
The sound of crows came, and the four people who had not yet recovered felt their legs go weak.
He fell to the ground, and a look of 'anger and shame' appeared on his face.
A foul stench, mixed with a pungent odor, emanated from beneath them.
And what about this crow?
He tilted his head, looked at their disheveled appearance, and actually laughed!
"Damn it! That darn crow..."
"It's mocking us!"
"I have no strength left..."
"I never imagined I'd die at the hands of a bird while hunting, and in such a humiliating way..."
The four men stared at the crow so close to them. Even though it hadn't yet attacked them, they saw it as just a hunter toying with its prey.
Previously, when Linjiang Mall had just become a gathering place for people in the vicinity, many people shared their combat experiences of encountering mutated beasts, and quite a few people mentioned this situation.
Some people, in such situations, seize the opportunity to escape or even turn the tables and kill their enemies.
But many more tried to struggle and fight back, only to be mercilessly killed.
In the past, they had only heard these things from other people as stories.
Now, this kind of thing is finally going to happen to them!
"He went out to catch birds, only to die in their beaks..."
The person closest to us was also the one who launched the final attack.
With his hands braced against the ground, the icy cold of the snow stung his skin, making him grit his teeth and try to squeeze out all the strength from his body.
Whether he pounced on the crow or had the strength to escape, he didn't want to die like this!
"Wow!"
The crow seemed to sense something, tilted its head, and stared at him with that mocking look again.
Splash—gurgle—
The cramping pain in his stomach made him frown.
He subconsciously shifted his attention to his lower body, where the little bit of 'power' he had just gathered seemed to be dissipating again.
As for the other three, they had already lay down on the ground and given up struggling.
Seemingly finding it pointless, the crow spread its wings and leaped towards the four of them.
whoosh-
A whooshing sound rang out.
Snapped!
The crow flapped its wings, knocking the short arrow away, but the force itself sent it staggering backward and crashing to the ground.
"A level-one source energy beast that has awakened supernatural abilities, and it's a crow at that..."
Gritting his teeth and enduring the pain in his abdomen, one of the men, who hadn't yet collapsed, saw a figure blocking their way.
What caught his attention most were the metal claws extending from the other person's hands.
"Is this... a superhero?"
A thought flashed through my mind, but I was distracted.
A rumbling sound came from his abdomen, and he instinctively reached back to touch it—it was hot.
"Wow!"
Another strange scream followed. He felt as if his head had been hit, and everything went black before his eyes. He lost consciousness.
On the other side, Commander Tian led a dozen or so people back with the carcasses of several birds and the unconscious person.
He looked at the crow in Wu Ou's hand. "Is there anything special about this?"
Wu Ou didn't speak, but flicked out a sharp blade with his finger and cut open the crow's chest.
He picked out a source crystal.
"This is the road ahead."
