"Here we come, send a message and let everyone prepare!"
Xu Chen, whose hands and feet were almost numb from the cold, suddenly became energetic.
"Gugu...Gugu..."
Mo, who was squatting next to him, pinched his throat and let out a burst of night bird calls.
"Gugu~"
"Gugu~"
Around the stone pile, signals from the hunters were quickly heard one after another.
In fact, there was no need for Xu Chen to remind him. When the terrifying cry of the giant bird came from the sky, everyone had already spotted the giant bird.
At this time, outside the valley, the Five Ghosts tribesmen who had been waiting for a long time also heard the cry of the giant bird, and they all turned pale and nervous with fright.
Xu Chen and others who were ambushing near the pile of rocks were even more nervous.
According to the people of the Five Ghosts, there should be a group of giant demon birds here, but now only one has arrived.
If they attack, other birds may not appear, but if they do not attack, the adults and children serving as bait may be killed or injured.
"Only one, Moxi Gaga?"
Seeing the terrifying giant bird swooping down, Mo nervously grabbed Xu Chen's arm and asked.
Xu Chen also stared at this big bird. Judging from its size and flying movements, it was definitely a super-large raptor. As for its face, he couldn't see clearly because the night was too dark and it flew too fast.
It was too late, but Xu Chen didn't have time to answer. The big withered bird had already flown over the pile of rocks. After circling slightly for two times, it retracted its huge wings and landed steadily on the tallest pile of rocks.
On the pile of rocks, the figure is at least two meters high and looks extremely scary.
However, it was not in a hurry to eat. Instead, it turned its head and looked around, especially at the two corpses lying in the grass and the three struggling and crying children. It seemed to be still hesitating about which one to eat first.
Xu Chen and others were camouflaged with withered grass branches and crouched in the grass. At this time, they were only ten meters away from the giant wither. Through the gaps in the grass, Xu Chen finally saw the face of the giant wither clearly. Sure enough,
It looks very weird, with black and white patterns forming a very scary face, especially the golden aquiline beak, which looks like a sinister and weird smile.
Of course, this is a front face, and this effect is basically not visible on side faces.
"Woo~Quack, quack, quack..."
After standing on the highest pile of rocks and observing the surroundings for a while, the giant wither once again let out a terrifying cry.
Just when Xu Chen thought that the giant wither was going to be detrimental to the bait and was hesitating whether to just kill the giant wither, suddenly there was another cry from the mountain ridge not far away, and soon there was another giant wither.
The bird appears.
"Woo~ quack quack..."
Just as the second giant bird was hovering in the sky, three large birds flew up from the mountain ridge one after another. However, judging from their size, they seemed to be slightly smaller, but their wingspan was at least about three meters.
"Choke to death, it's really a big family!"
Xu Chen clenched his fists in excitement and roared in his heart.
He had speculated that this might be the case from the beginning.
However, no nest of these giant withers was found in the valley yesterday, so there was no way to confirm it. At present, it seems that this nest of giant withers does not live directly in the valley, but on the mountain ridge, which is still far away from here.
It's several miles away.
However, for these huge flying mammals, this distance only takes the blink of an eye.
Under the summons of the giant withers that came first, four giant withers from behind soon swooped down one after another, occupying a pile of rocks respectively.
A large family gathered together, seemingly ready to watch and enjoy the helpless and frightened cries of these human children, so they all looked around condescendingly with grimaces on their faces.
The dogs are quite wary!
Xu Chen looked at the five giant withers, big and small, and knew that the hunters in ambush around him had most likely already aimed their bows and arrows, and had prepared ropes, nets, and slings, so he blew the whistle in his mouth without waiting for these giant withers to attack the bait.
Although you can see further if you stand high, the target is more obvious, and it happens to be the most eye-catching target.
"Dip~"
The sharp sound echoed through the valley in the dark cold wind.
In the grass surrounding the stone pile, dozens of people suddenly stood up with a roar, their bodies covered with weeds and branches.
The hunters who had been waiting for a long time and had full anger points launched attacks almost at the same time.
"Boom boom boom boom..."
The dense sound of bowstrings sounded like fried beans, and dozens of sharp arrows tore through the dark dusk, heading towards the five giant withers like migratory locusts.
"Puff puff puff puff..."
The arrow was shot with fierce murderous intent, hitting the target in the blink of an eye, and the sharp stone arrowhead was driven hard into the giant body.
"Oh~ah~~"
The giant withers hit by the arrow let out a shrill scream like a human being, and flapped their wings desperately to fly. However, their huge size was both an advantage and a disadvantage for them, just like the mammoth elephants could not escape from the hunter's spear.
Their huge bodies have become the best living targets in the eyes of hunters.
Most of the dozens of arrows hit the target.
Under the flapping of huge wings, the heavy body could not fly immediately. Instead, it lost its direction under the stimulation of pain. Almost as soon as it left the pile of rocks in the air, it fell crookedly. Only one barely managed to fly.
It flew up, staggering and trying to escape from the stone pile area, but another round of arrow rain followed, mixed with seven or eight slings, whirring and spinning under the influence of the stones.
"Plop~~"
A giant wither that didn't fly very far was hit by several more arrows. At the same time, its wings and giant claws were wrapped around two slings, and it hit the grass and rocks on the edge of the pile of rocks like an out-of-control airplane.
The remaining few had no time to prepare for the second round of takeoff. They screamed and rolled in panic between the rock piles, trying to break out of the rock pile area and escape into the mountains and forests.
"Slay!"
How could the successful hunters give these demons another chance?
The anger that had been suppressed for two days suddenly burst out. He roared and chased the injured giant withers among the piles of rocks, launching a fierce pursuit. Arrows kept shooting into the bodies of these giant withers.
, and soon two of them were completely silent. The remaining few were also covered with rope nets by the swarming hunters, and were strangled into a rice dumpling amidst the excited roars. Dozens of pairs of big feet were beaten fiercely.
He was kicked violently through the rope net, and within three minutes, a group of giants were destroyed.
When he saw the five giant withers being dragged out of the stone pile area by the hunter and dumped on the stone beach, the relaxed smile on Xu Chen's face turned into a slight twitch.
Misery cannot be described as what happened to these sky overlords.
Almost every one of them was covered with seven or eight arrows.
The neat and plump feathers were completely scattered like cattail fans that had been passed down for generations. The roots were extremely messy, and it was almost impossible to see any of the might and domineering power that they had when they landed just now.
Although the ghost's face still had a sinister and weird smile after struggling and ravaging it before death, it was just like that after seeing it clearly from a close distance.
It is indeed scary when viewed from a distance, but the difference between it and humans is still obvious when viewed up close, with just a slight outline of a human face.
However, the huge body is indeed terrifying. Even the smallest one weighs about twenty kilograms at least. The huge claws are spread out to the size of a foot, the sharp hooks are dark and reflective, and the golden curved beak is even more terrifying. It is estimated that one bite
It can peck off a human arm.
But in the face of the sharp bows and arrows of humans, these sky-dominant raptors still could not escape the fate of death, and finally paid the price with their lives for their evil behavior of cannibalism.
"Blow the horn and call it a day!"
Xu Chen roared with great enthusiasm, and Gu excitedly raised the golden horn that he had already clenched in his hand, raised his head and blew it.
…
In the dark dusk.
The Five Ghosts tribesmen outside the valley gathered together.
The great shaman of the Five Ghost Clan and a group of clan leaders stood at the front, looking in the direction of the valley on tiptoe.
The first demon's roar came from the valley, and then more roars came one after another, making everyone's hearts clenched tightly.
Every ugly and terrifying face carries incomparable fear and expectation.
These demons entrenched in the valley are the lingering dark shadows of their tribe, and they are always fearful.
They even believed that the curse of the tribe was brought about by these demons.
Increasing ugliness and more and more diseases are the punishments given to them by the gods.
They don't know what they did wrong?
Why am I being entangled with so many curses one after another?
The appearance of Xu Chen and others was like a ray of light, illuminating their fearful souls and the inescapable shadow of terror.
They prayed in their hearts that nothing would happen to these foreigners, that they would not be devoured by demons, and that they must defeat the demons so that they could thrive and survive normally like their ancestors.
"Cough cough cough cough..."
The great witch slowly lifted up the animal skin covering his head, revealing his extremely ugly face.
She hasn't walked out of the tree hole for a long, long time.
Due to age and illness, she could not bear the cold temperature and climate outside.
But this time, she wanted to see the results as soon as possible.
If these foreigners can really kill these demons and break the curse of the gods, she is willing to lead her people to submit to this powerful and kind tribe, and she is even willing to sacrifice her own life for it.
"Woo~wu~wu~~~"
In the valley, a melodious and deep horn sounded.
The waiting Five Ghosts instantly became commotion, and an incredible light suddenly burst out from the great witch's cloudy eyes.
The horn is the most unique symbol of the Ba people. It is a magical item that no mortal can possess. From the communication with the Jia people, we learned that this horn has the ability to summon wild beasts and is the most powerful thing given to the Ba people by the beast god.
weapons.
Wherever the trumpet sounds, all beasts surrender.
Before seeing this horn, the people of the Five Ghosts were very skeptical, and even the great witch didn't believe it.
But after seeing the horn, she confirmed that this magical item should not appear in the human world. It was so exquisite and incredible that a small horn could make such a huge and terrifying sound.
Perhaps, it was the magical shaman king leader of the Ba tribe who began to summon wild beasts to participate in the battle against demons.
This war seems to have entered its most intense and terrifying stage.
“￥%#……”
The great witch began to sing ancient witchcraft songs, and pulled out the magical metal dagger Xu Chen gave her, slashing her arms, cheeks and chest, letting blood drip down her body and onto the ground.
This is an ancient and mysterious witchcraft.
Sacrifice your own blood and grant the blessing object the power of the earth.
"Witch~~"
Seeing their great witch perform this most primitive and ancient sacrificial blessing that can harm one's life, a large number of Five Ghosts people involuntarily fell down.
“￥%#……”
The great witch raised his bloody hands and continued to sing loudly.
The old and hoarse voice sounded so high-pitched and desolate in the dark dusk.
