The whole carcass of the bone-eating vulture was stuffed into the defective product. This big guy should still have a lot of meat after losing its fur, and it is probably a sensitive creature. Liu Xiao will definitely not let such a fly go.
Here comes the grilled wings.
The mouse who had witnessed the whole process had already disappeared.
After the two finished packing, they continued their journey. After walking upward for more than ten minutes, the surrounding clouds and fog finally dispersed.
Looking up, the top of the rock wall suddenly appeared hundreds of meters high, and the two of them were already above the vast and boundless clouds. This highland was really high in name, and it was so high that it was already freezing cold.
At the same time, within the broad field of vision, Liu Xiao also saw an unusual scene.
In the mid-air outside the distant rock wall, there are hundreds of bone-eating vultures hovering. They are concentrated near a certain area and keep going back and forth. They seem to be focusing their fire to attack something. However, due to the obstruction of the raised rock wall,
What exactly happened there is unknown.
Liu Xiao decided to climb quickly, otherwise so many bone-eating vultures would cause them considerable trouble if they targeted them. He told Tanya the situation, as her hearing would not be of much use after leaving the clouds.
Shi leaned closely to Liu Xiao's side, and the animal skin was wrapped again.
Going up quickly, we soon reached the top of the rock wall, truly reaching the Silent Highlands area.
Tanya couldn't see it, but Liu Xiao, who had the blessing of the night owl, could see clearly. Except for the edge of the cliff, the Silent Highlands were basically covered with black bamboos. Each bamboo was nearly a hundred meters high. With this dense area
The bamboo forest exists, and any scenery in the highlands is hidden deep in it, and it is obviously impossible to see through it from the outside.
The two of them walked straight into the bamboo forest without stopping.
[Mozhu, this is the first time I have seen black bamboo.]
Tanya stroked the black bamboo as thick as her thigh and checked the information about this plant.
【Have you noticed that since we entered the bamboo forest, the sound of wind has disappeared? Can you hear anything?】
Liu Xiao remained alert as always.
The tips of Tanya's cocked ears twitched, and after a moment she replied, "Not only the sound of the wind, but all sounds have disappeared."
Liu Xiao opened his mouth and said a few words, but found that no sound came out, as if the air here had been completely drained.
[Indeed, there is no sound when speaking. Is it because the name of this kind of bamboo, silent bamboo, sounds a bit weird. 】
He carefully observed the bamboo poles of silent bamboo and found that there were countless extremely tiny holes under the black skin of these bamboos.
Practice is the only criterion for testing truth. Liu Xiao did not hesitate. He held a machete in his hand and chopped down the bamboo pole in front of him. The bamboo pole silently broke into two pieces, and the tall upper part slowly moved along the front.
Slowly slide down and fall to the ground.
What the two of them didn't expect was that a large amount of black liquid was left at the fracture. Liu Xiao didn't need to look carefully to know that the liquid was the blood of a living creature. He had a strong affinity for blood.
The probe looked into the hollow bamboo pole. After a moment, Liu Xiao reached in and directly pulled out half-shaped mollusc carcasses.
【What is it?】
Tanya asked in surprise. She never thought that there would be other creatures in the bamboo, and they were quite small.
[It seems to be a giant maggot, which seems to be a symbiosis of this kind of bamboo. The disappearance of the surrounding sounds is probably caused by this kind of maggot, but it is still unclear how to do it. The good news is that this kind of
Maggots are not aggressive.]
Liu Xiao carefully inspected the maggot corpse, and then pulled out another section of the maggot. The complete corpse that was pieced together was actually dozens of meters long.
[Is there such a maggot in every silent bamboo?]
Looking at this kind of mollusk with black pus flowing out and colorless and translucent skin, Tanya felt disgusted from the bottom of her heart. She always felt chills running down her spine when she thought about being surrounded by such things.
[Probably, let’s go. At least you know that these bugs are not aggressive, so you can just pretend they don’t exist. 】
Without paying any further attention, the two of them continued to go deeper.
But Tanya discovered that Liu Xiao had drained the black blood of the maggots and condensed it into a blood-colored barrier around the two of them. Liu Xiao did not say why. If you ask, it is that he is more stubborn and will be fully prepared when he feels something is wrong.
.
Hearing among the five senses was completely stripped away, and Liu Xiao's night vision and eyesight became the only effective means of obtaining information.
This bamboo forest is full of weirdness, and based on Liu Xiao's many years of experience in immortality novels, there will always be some extremely dangerous and unpredictable dangers around the treasures.
The speed of moving forward was obviously slower, and my eyes were constantly looking left and right.
Human vision is limited. Without sound, they are completely unprepared for blind spots and attacks from behind. He directly condensed blood and water into a shield barrier and suspended it around the two of him.
We didn't encounter any accidents during the nearly hour-long trip.
But in a silent environment, the inner fear will be infinitely amplified. Instead of relaxing, the two people's spirits become more tense. Fortunately, they can still talk to each other in the spiritual sound.
This was especially obvious for Tanya who couldn't see in the dark night. She originally wanted to light a torch, but was afraid of exposing their positions. Before she knew it, she had firmly held Liu Xiao's hand and walked side by side.
The warmth from her palms made her feel a lot more at ease.
Suddenly, Liu Xiao stopped.
Tanya resisted asking him what was going on, for fear of affecting him.
[Be extra careful on the journey ahead.] Liu Xiao's spiritual voice came.
【What did you find?】
[There are quite a lot of Nortolan corpses hanging from the top of the bamboo.]
Liu Xiao's eyes were fixed on the heights. On the top of the silent bamboo, there were hundreds of corpses hanging at random. They were the Nottolan people who had been annihilated by Portis. It seemed that some of this group of people did not die on the battlefield.
But I came here, and of course, I will stay here forever.
【Nortolan?】
[A kind of humanoid creature with many tentacles on its head. It seems that they, like us, came to Silent Heights to look for ruins.] Liu Xiao’s eyesight was enough to see the details on the corpse. He then added, [Their
The body was wrapped in spider silk and hung upside down from the top of the silent bamboo. The head was exposed when it was not wrapped in spider silk. The head was penetrated by a sharp instrument. It seems that something likes to suck things from their heads.]
It was the exposed head of the corpse that allowed Liu Xiao to recognize the identity of the Notoran at a glance.
[It feels like... a spider did it?] Tanya could only make associations from what Liu Xiao said, but what she could think of made her scalp tingle.
[Yes, it’s a very big spider. The size of a Notoran is 1.5 times my size. But why didn’t I see a spider along the way? Nor did I see a spider web? It’s strange. 】
Passing underneath the corpse, white mucus occasionally dripped from high places and fell silently on the blood-colored barrier.
Liu Xiao did not intend to bypass the area where the body was, but instead walked in the direction where the body was hanging. Whatever attacked the Notolan people, it should have been attracted to a larger number of targets, and had even been chasing Noto.
A large orchid force is also possible.
It's just that the mucus falling from the head wound of the corpse is really disgusting. Even Liu Xiao, who has seen the sea of blood and corpses, can't help but want to retch.
The soil on the ground is covered with messy footprints, and there are also traces of a large number of silent bamboos being destroyed. It seems that there are a lot of Notolan people. Is the purpose of cutting down the silent bamboos just to open a road or is there some other reason?
Just as Liu Xiao was deep in thought, a strong wave of air came from behind his head.
Before he could turn around, he felt that the blood barrier behind him was broken.
Making a choice in an instant, he threw Tanya down and rolled to the ground.
The rock spurs were launched almost at the same time, and the surrounding rock spurs protruded from the ground in silence, attacking the area except for him and Tanya indiscriminately.
All these actions happened and ended in an instant.
When he looked behind him, he was surprised to find that what was attacking him was not a giant spider or any ground creature, but a giant moth.
A pair of jet-black wings seemed to swallow up all light, and its dark body was even more concealable. A long and sharp thorn should be its mouthparts. This giant moth also used this thorn to launch a sneak attack on itself.
.
The sneak attack failed. The giant moth still flapped its wings and did not fly away, but hovered in mid-air.
The stone thorns on the rock protrusion couldn't reach such a height. Liu Xiao immediately drew out the wind catcher and cocked the blood arrow. He didn't bother to talk nonsense with it and just shot it.
At the same time as the arrows shot out, the giant moth also sprayed out a silk net from its tail.
The blood arrow pierced the giant moth's body, and then exploded inside the body. The blood arrow directly turned into a meteor hammer, hollowing out the giant moth's chest in an instant. At the same time, the silk screen was blocked by a blood-colored barrier.
The giant moth flapped its wings hard for a few times before falling to the ground.
Before Liu Xiao could step forward to check.
I feel the gust of wind blowing behind my head again!
