I held my hands on the rock wall next to me, and then tentatively walked forward. I was still being pecked by the long pointed beak of the crow, which was very painful. Fortunately, my clothes were not torn, otherwise the end would have been miserable.
But I soon discovered that walking like this was not possible. It was not only slow but also very dangerous. It was easy to fall if I stumbled. Even if I was on flat ground, falling down on such a rotten plank road would be a very dangerous thing.
After thinking about it, I simply lay down. This is a good way. It feels safer and safer to have my hands and feet on the ground than standing. This also prevents my weak abdomen from being attacked by crows.
Even the speed of advancement is much faster.
I felt like hail falling on my body, and crows kept falling down. I was already a little upset, but Liu Qingping, with his loud voice, kept whining, shouting like a cannon in the sky.
Even I got a little tired of cursing, and it also made a few people behind me curse incessantly.
"Liu Qingping, can you shut up? Do you know that your pig-killing voice is more powerful than these damn crows? I want to fucking jump out of here." Han Qiwei cursed as he spoke.
He also spoke out what everyone was feeling.
"Damn it, uncle, do you want to hear what I call me? If you don't listen, plug your ears. I'm probably fat all over my body, uncle. I don't even have the right to let out a few screams."
"Then you should bark more nicely, like a donkey having a difficult birth. Do you want our lives, right? You are crueler than these ghost crows." Liu Xiaoyang also followed suit.
"Damn, it's not as serious as you said, right? Anyway, I was a standard bass back then, and people said my voice was very magnetic. I originally wanted to be a singer, but I'm not very happy to do that.
.”
"Come on, you have a voice like a broken bellows. If you go to sing, it will be lively. People make money by singing, and you make life by singing. It's a pity that you were not born when I beat the little devil.
If you were here at that time, if you had stood in front of the loudspeaker and roared like that, I think the little devil would have surrendered directly. This thing can't stand it anymore, it has exceeded human limits."
"Okay, okay, sir, I know it, why don't you do it?"
I don't care how noisy they are, because I can't care about that much at this time. The number of crows seems to be increasing, their noisy voices are floating in the sky, and the whole place is boiling like boiling water.
.
"Xiaoyue, this won't work. We can't hold on for too long at all. There are too many of these things and we can't resist it for long." After I finished speaking, I felt that the clothes on my back were finally torn apart, and then there was a
The pain was so severe that I thought my back must have been scratched.
What I didn't even expect was that these crows were even more sensitive to the smell of blood. As soon as the skin on my body was broken, all the crows around me rushed towards me crazily. Their sharp claws and sharp beaks pecked at me hard. In the end,
Some even hooked their claws on my clothes and couldn't shake them off.
I hurriedly took out the dagger and swung it at my back repeatedly. I guess I killed a lot of them in these few blows, but I didn’t expect that this would make the situation worse. These crows were also very interested in the flesh and blood of the same kind.
After a dead crow, several crows immediately came up to fight for it, but "there are too many crows". After the few crows I killed were eaten, the living ones immediately targeted me, especially since the clothes on my body were covered with blood.
It also attracted a large number of "wild bees and butterflies" who were not afraid of death. In this case, I could only continue to wave the dagger, but the more crows died, the more they attracted, which has become a vicious situation.
cycle.
I guess the people behind are also feeling uncomfortable. Now not only Liu Qingping is shouting, but Han Qiwei, Liu Xiaoyang and the others also start shouting. There are also bursts of crying behind them. The sound belongs to this little girl Song Meiting.
.
There is no way to go on like this. In less than half an hour, we will all be in the bellies of these crows. However, there is no good way to solve this dilemma. For now, we can only endure and crawl forward as quickly as possible.
Soon they all caught up to me. After all, I was walking in front. I had to be careful and test every step before I dared to crawl forward. This speed was not much faster than that of a turtle. I thought, from the current situation
Judging from the situation, we have only one last resort.
"Hey, Wang Fo, what do you think these things are most afraid of?" Liu Qingping, who caught up at this time, slapped my butt hard and asked while breathing heavily.
"Natural enemies and fire." I said. Because what I just thought of was using fire. This method has been used once to deal with those vampire bats in the tomb of Nanling Dragon Chaser, and the effect was amazing. But it is different here.
The nests of these crows are in stone caves. They can fly away if the situation is bad. However, although this will not cause them much trouble, it can buy us time. Our purpose is not to kill them, but to
Just run away.
We need to seek other people's opinions on this matter. If the plank road here is burned down, it will mean that our escape route is cut off. Even if we want to come back, we will have no choice but to keep moving forward to find other ways out.
After hearing this method, everyone fell silent, but there was currently no better way. In the face of life safety and future options, life was the natural choice, so they all agreed without much hesitation.
When I came, I prepared some oil. If there was no kerosene, I bought some gasoline and carried it on my back. Although it was not a lot, it was enough to start a fire. I kept some and poured the rest on the wood of the plank road.
, after they all came over, I immediately lit the plank road.
The wood on this plank road is very dry, so it burns quickly, but it is not a large area after all, so it does not spread very quickly.
As soon as the fire started, except for some crows that were unable to escape and were burned to death, the others all flew into the sky. In an instant, we all became relaxed. However, those crows did not seem to give up and kept wandering in the sky.
Instead of flying away, it seems to be waiting for an opportunity to attack us again.
We all breathed a sigh of relief. Although the crisis was only temporarily relieved, it still made people feel more relaxed. After thinking about it, I told them that we can't go too fast. It's better to follow the fire. We just need to follow the fire.
Just keep the spreading speed consistent. This is also gambling on luck. As long as there is no too wide fault ahead, we have a great chance of escaping from here.
Under the illumination of the fire, we moved slowly while treating the wounds on our bodies. Among them, I was the most seriously injured. There were several cuts on my back. Fortunately, they were all skin injuries. After a little treatment, there were no major injuries.
It's in the way.
The sky finally started to get brighter, but the fire continued to burn. After circling for a while, the crows saw that there was no chance and finally flew away. Shuiyue said that this was a "night crow", which only appeared at night and in dark places.
They basically hide in their nests and sleep during the day. They don't like light, so they are very sensitive to light, but they are very smart, so when they see the light emitted from our hands, they will rush towards us, but they will hide when encountering fire.
far away.
This kind of creature is usually common in deep mountains and swamps, but I have never heard of them attacking people. This is a very abnormal phenomenon and may be related to the large number of them, but Shuiyue said it may be caused by the environment.
The former is better, but if it is the latter, we have to be careful. Since the environment can make crows that are originally afraid of people become so ferocious, will it also make other things become very aggressive?
When the sky was completely bright, we escaped from the fire and moved forward quickly, but not long after, the plank road suddenly ended. Yes, it ended suddenly. In front of us, we could still see the plank road extending in the distance, but our road
But it's gone. This is a fault that cannot be repaired, because what is in front of us is a wide waterfall.
This waterfall must have been formed after the plank road was built. It is only about twenty meters wide, but the water flow is very large, which is insurmountable for us like a natural chasm.
I looked down and felt a little dizzy. The height of this waterfall was at least fifty meters away from us, and there were protruding rocks above that were impossible to climb, so we encountered a dead end.
Everyone's face became very ugly, and the fire behind them began to slowly catch up, leaving us with less than half an hour. If we couldn't find a way within this half hour, we would have no choice but to jump off the waterfall.
.
Time passed little by little, and each of us was running around anxiously. Finally, Shuiyue came up with an impossible solution. There were several vines hanging down next to the waterfall. We could only hold on to these vines and crawl through them.
Go to the back of the waterfall, there is a small gap inside, presumably we can climb to the other side.
There was no time to think at this time, and everyone hurriedly grabbed the vines and drilled into the waterfall. This seemed easy, but it was extremely difficult to do. We did not dare to get too close to the water of the waterfall because of its
The impact is too great. If you are accidentally swept down, you will be killed by the water flow even if you are not thrown to death.
But the situation was worse than we imagined. We moved forward little by little close to the rock wall. Sometimes it took several minutes to cover a distance of one meter, but we only got halfway there.
We found that the water flow in front had covered all the space. We tried again. I put my hand into the water to see how thick the water layer was and whether we could withstand the force. In the end, we almost failed.
I rushed in. It turned out that this road was impossible to walk, and the way forward was completely cut off.
