Chapter five hundred and sixteen quack!
Meng Chun's merchant ship came closer no matter how slow it was. Not only was Meng Chun shocked and doubtful, but even the captain of the ship's face became serious, and he no longer had the confidence he had before.
As the saying goes: "When a crow passes over your head, there will be disaster."
What happened to the sudden flight of swarms of crows?
Without the shelter of the house, it is not completely dark in the wild. The bright moon is passing through the clouds, looming.
A dense flock of crows gathered over the merchant ships, moving like black silhouettes in the night sky.
Does the boat boss think he has looked at the river too much and is dazzled?
He rubbed his eyes, and at that moment, a crow shouted "Gah!" The crows suddenly swooped down en masse, and not far away, there were groups of crows rushing towards this direction.
Under the moonlight, the crow's black feathers reflect the light of a cold weapon in the air, and its warlike nature is accumulating into huge energy, converging on its beak and claws.
They rush towards their targets - people on merchant ships - like boomerangs.
Meng Chun looked at the crowd of crows with eyes full of fear, his mouth wide open and unable to make a sound, and he didn't know how to avoid them.
A crow saw the right moment, swooped down, and suddenly turned sharply. During the turn, a stream of feces was thrown into Meng Chun's mouth and nose.
"If a crow poops on you, you will be mourned this year even if you don't die." Meng Chun trembled as he remembered this sentence.
He screamed "Ahhhh" in horror, pricking his hands and feeling at a loss.
This is not just poop on the body, it went into the mouth!
The relaxed crow flew down with a beautiful flick of its tail in the air, sat on Meng Chun's head, and laughed proudly, "Quack...quack!"
It's not very harmful, but it's very insulting.
Thousands of crows are not crowded, they rise and fall staggeredly in the air without injuring their fellow crows.
The targets they attack are not all fixed, some only attack one person and fly towards another person as that person waves his arm.
Some accelerate through curves in the air and hit the target directly.
Some will stalk and pursue the target of resistance.
The crow seems to have a loose style of play, but it is not messy at all. Almost every crow does not fly empty, and every dive will hit the target.
They travel in groups with strict discipline and unite to fight against the enemy when encountering danger.
Meng Chun's guards held sharp knives and waved to resist. The injured crow screamed and fled, and from time to time, dark feathers swirled and fell from the air.
This resistance made the crows even angrier.
Victory without force has never been the principle of crows, calculation and conspiracy are their only beliefs.
They grouped into groups of more than a dozen, attacking the same target collectively. Their sharp beaks left bloody round holes in each other's eyes, ears, and even waving bare arms, and their luminous claws scratched the enemy's clothes.
These injuries were not serious, but they caused people to bleed profusely.
Under the attack of the crows, the skin of the guards' naked parts gradually lost its flesh, their thin clothes were torn, and their neatly tied hair was torn like waterweeds. From time to time, strands of hair fell on the ship's board.
Some of them shouted "Light the torch! Crows are afraid of fire!" but they couldn't spare any time.
The dense crowd of crows also makes it impossible for them to see what is available around them.
No matter how strong your kung fu is, you can't resist the "range attack" of thousands of crows. The crows circled and danced around the three merchant ships, shrinking the boundaries more and more. From a distance, they looked like a black cover buckled above the ships.
Gradually losing the strength to resist.
The two guards used their arms to shield Meng Chun from hiding in the cabin. When they entered, they found that the cabin was completely dark, the candlelight had long been extinguished, and there was the sound of flapping wings inside.
Many crows also entered the cabin, and their keen sense of smell made them rush towards Meng Chun and others immediately.
"When a crow comes in, there will be no one alive at home." Suddenly, this sentence came to Meng Chun's mind again.
"Hurry! Diving into the water! Diving to save your life!" The boss of the boat shouted loudly on the board.
Years of sailing gave him enough life-saving experience. He had previously ordered the boatmen not to resist, and led them to squat in corners and crevices with their heads in their hands.
Crows are very smart birds and are very vengeful. They can remember the face of the perpetrator, even for years, and seek revenge at any time. It can be said that they will not let their enemies go even if they are evil.
When these crows flew down, they only flapping people with their wings a few times. In the eyes of the crows, they were just following orders, not attacking.
However, Meng Chun's guards shook their fists at each other, and some even slashed with their swords. This meant that the crow was hurt and would definitely die.
It would be strange if the crows didn’t attack them!
But even when the boatmen hid, some of them were accidentally injured by the angry crows.
Crows are birds that eat dead people and carrion, and their beaks and claws are poisonous. If you are pecked by them, even if you don't die, the wound will fester, and the fester will lead to death.
This is why people regard crows as a symbol of death and plague.
Not wanting his own people to suffer too much loss, the boss of the boat loudly asked the boatmen to dive into the water, and also told: "Don't look at them! Don't look at them!"
If you make eye contact with crows, their behavior will change accordingly. Whether it is a blessing or a curse is hard to say.
In fact, this is true not only for crows, but also for animals.
Even common cats and dogs will feel threatened if they look at each other and will growl to scare the other person.
The boatmen are all good at water, so just dive in the water and swim to a farther place to hide.
The boatmen followed the instructions of the boat boss and jumped into the water one after another. Instead of emerging, they swam underwater to the shore away from the crows.
Hearing the shouts outside, the guard also said to Meng Chun: "Master, let's dive too!"
Not everyone can swim, the guards can, but Meng Chun can't.
Meng Chun hesitated.
The two guards had to continue to wave their swords to resist the crow's attack.
There was not much room for action in the dark and narrow cabin. A crow was chopped to death and fell to the ground. Its companions quacked angrily and pecked at Meng Chun and the others even more ferociously.
The shrill cries attracted more crows to fly into the cabin.
Although Meng Chun did not take the initiative to attack the crow, the two guards were with him. The crow had no time to distinguish who was who, and only regarded the three of them as a whole, launching a more ferocious revenge.
There was no time to hesitate, Meng Chun shouted: "Dive! Diving!" The crow droppings in his mouth sprayed everywhere as he shouted.
Although Xiaobao could not clearly see the scene inside the "crow cover" not far away, he could guess the intensity of the battle from the shouts of the people and the cries of the crows, and could not help but murmur: "I have no work to do again?
"
Shuimao Maogang also said that he should pretend to be a fisherman selling food to stop the boat. It would be useful!
"Yeah! Diving!" Shui Maomao was also watching the battle.
After jumping but not floating up, Shui Maomao judged: "The few who jumped down are the crew members. Just watch, everyone in the boat will have to jump off in a while!"
Only then did Xiaobao realize that the furry ones behind him were gone. Looking further into the distance, he could only see Shui Maomao's white calves under the dim water surface, kicking and kicking, and swam far away.
"Wow!" Xiaobao jumped and shouted: "There's me, there's me!"
