After clearing a safe area, everyone rested where they were.
Bei Chenyan leaned against a fallen dead wood pile, with one knee bent, his eyes blue, and his arm around the girl next to him. The large black cloak covered her tightly, leaving only one head exposed.
Ling Xiyue lay on her side in his arms, her skin painted a wheat color, almost blending into the night, and her eyelashes sometimes trembled slightly with the night wind.
Feeling a little uncomfortable, she tilted her head, but the man raised his hand and gently moved her back into his arms.
The cool breeze is whistling and biting.
The Sky Burial Wasteland is unbearably hot during the day, just like a desert.
But at night, the temperature dropped sharply, like the twelfth lunar month in the cold winter, but Ling Xiyue could not feel the slightest chill. Beichenyan's chest was like a big furnace. With his deep internal energy to protect his body, he was no different from ordinary people.
Although there was a hidden defensive line around, for safety reasons, Malone and others took turns keeping watch at night.
It was peaceful in the first half of the night, and there was no movement around. Ma Long was about to call Ying Yi to change his shift when he suddenly found that there was no sound around him, not even a trace of insects could be heard. This feeling seemed familiar.
Do you want to wake up the emperor and the empress?
Malone hesitated because it was just his speculation.
But the emperor and the empress had just rested, what if he felt wrong.
"What's wrong?" At this time, Ha Tai came up from behind. He was sleepy and wanted to relieve himself. He saw Ma Long standing there, frowning and looking into the night.
Malone grabbed his hand and said to him quickly, "Did you notice anything was wrong?"
"Ah?" Ha Tai was almost scared to pee, "Brother, please don't be so startled, okay? You're going to scare me to death." He looked around, "There's nothing wrong. There's nothing wrong."
"
Malone scratched his neck.
Maybe he was overthinking it.
As soon as Ha Tai took a step, a strange cry of "gu" came from far to near.
Ma Long jumped up and pulled Ha Tai back, "Did you hear that just now?"
"That's the call of a heron, which is very common on the grassland..." Ha Tai said helplessly, his face turned dark, "Don't be suspicious, okay? You're going to scare me out of my abilities."
.”
Ma Long smiled awkwardly, "That's it..."
It seemed that he was too nervous, but the Queen was so cautious, so he had to be nervous.
"Why are you going?" Ma Long looked Ha Tai up and down with confusion on his face.
"Pee." Ha Tai looked at him speechlessly, "You want to come together?"
Malone immediately stepped aside with a look of disgust on his face.
"Don't go too far." Finally, he reminded me kindly.
Ha Tai ignored him, unbuttoned his belt, and walked out of the weeds not far away.
"Ding..." At this time, a bell rang, lighter than the sound of the cold wind passing through the withered grass.
"Ding……"
Another sound.
No one, including Ma Long and Ha Tai, heard anything, but Ling Xiyue, who was sleeping soundly in Beichenyan's arms, suddenly opened her eyes, with the most instinctive conditioned reflex, those bottomless black eyes.
It was clear and bright, and there was no trace of tiredness.
"What's wrong?"
Bei Chenyan also opened his eyes.
Ling Xiyue didn't say anything. She quickly stood up, walked to the front left position, and squatted down to check.
There was no damage to the slender thread, but she just heard the ringing, and there were more than one!
"Master?" Ma Long immediately returned to Ling Xiyue.
Ling Xiyue tilted her head slightly, "There's something wrong..."
Ma Long was full of energy and suddenly reached a fighting state!
Bei Chenyan frowned and concentrated on sensing the surroundings, but even he didn't notice anything strange around him.
Ying Yi walked up from behind with a serious face and silently stood next to Ling Xiyue.
"No, there must be something wrong." Ling Xiyue stood up and glanced around.
The surroundings suddenly became quiet again, and she always felt like something was staring at them. It was very weak before, and she thought she was falling into memories and being too cautious, but now this feeling is getting stronger and stronger.
"Pounce" xdw8
Suddenly, a strange noise sounded high in the sky.
Bei Chenyan and Ling Xiyue looked at each other, and this time they both felt it.
Ling Xiyue quickly returned to the fire, picked up a piece of charcoal, and threw it in the air!
"boom!"
Sparks flew.
There was a sudden fluttering of wings!
Immediately afterwards, pairs of sinister diamond-shaped eyes continued to appear in the sky, densely packed in rows and rows, hanging on the surrounding treetops, filling the entire sky above.
One stone stirs up a thousand waves!
Malone suddenly jumped three feet high, "What is it!"
Beichen Yanbing's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Quack"
"Gah!"
The sharp and piercing chirping sounded like thunder in the wilderness, converging into wild screams all over the sky. At the same time, the sound of flapping wings sounded, and giant raptors soared into the sky, black and heavy like tornadoes.
Circling, flying, and covering the sky and the sun!
Ling Xiyue took a few steps back and came to Bei Chenyan's side, with a serious look on her face, "It's a vulture."
"Vultures?" Ma Long was shocked, but at the same time he breathed a small sigh of relief and murmured, "How come there are so many."
How can you never see pigs running if you have never eaten pork? Although Malone has never seen this unique creature in the wilderness, he has heard that they eat carrion and generally do not attack living creatures.
of.
The empress should also know, but why does her expression become more serious.
The only question is, there are no dead things here, so why are there so many guarding them?
"Because we may become a corpse soon!" Ling Xiyue's cold words answered Ma Long's doubts, and then grabbed Bei Chenyan's wrist, "Let's go, we can't stay here any longer!"
"Quack"
High in the sky, the piercing strange screams continued.
The frightened vultures screamed in a group, and the black formation with a tornado-like look had the tendency to rush down and attack a few people at any time.
"Where's Ha Tai?" Ying Yi looked around but saw no one.
Malone suddenly became anxious, "He..."
"ah!"
Human screams.
As soon as I spoke to him, before he could even finish his sentence, the next second, I saw Ha Tai lifting his trousers, without even having time to fasten his belt, shouting in a panic, just holding the two ends of his trousers with both hands, covered in cold sweat.
Running from afar.
"ah"
He was livid and yelled.
After arriving at a few people, he ran right past them without pausing for a second!
Ma Long just stared and saw him running past him like a gust of wind.
The rough guy on the grassland should have seen a lot of vultures.
Is the reaction so exaggerated?
"squeak……"
Behind, the unknown creature made a loud noise and attacked quickly.
Ling Xiyue took a step forward and looked into the darkness as best she could. After a while, her beautiful eyes gradually widened, "Run, run..." She took a step back, grabbed Bei Chenyan's hand, and looked coldly at Ma Long and the other two.
Shouting, "Run!"
Malone was stunned by the roar.
What's wrong? He has never seen his empress so nervous!
