Chapter 345: Soaring

As Frigga rose into the air, Jiang Chanji felt that Arabela's arm suddenly became stiff, and there was a faint tremor faintly, no wonder, the pegasus was more thrilling to ride than the roller coaster, and there was no roller coaster guardrail to fix himself, and the only way to maintain himself from falling was to clamp his legs on the horse's back and hold his waist.

However, she was stronger than he had imagined, and even he felt that he was more scared than she was when he first flew on Friggia, presumably because she couldn't see.

Most of the fear comes from vision, just like standing on a high place without looking down at nothing, once you look down and see the abyss under your feet, your legs go weak and you can't stand steadily.

"Don't be afraid, try to relax. He said sideways.

"We're already flying?" she asked.

"Well, how does it feel?"

"It's kind of like an airplane taking off, but it's faster and harder...... I can't believe I'm flying in the sky!" she listened to the whining wind in her ears, the whirring sound of Frigga flapping her wings, and the heartbeat of Jiang Chanji and Frigga .

Jiang Chanji patted Frigga and told it to fly more steadily, without having to perform any stunts.

Arabella's thighs felt the rhythm of Friga's muscles, like a machine full of wild power, constantly pumping out power.

"It's really strong......"

Once in level flight, she had the audacity to let go of one hand and insert her fingers into Friggia's hair, touching its skin directly and feeling its explosive power.

"When I get back to the monastery, my younger sisters will be so envious that they won't be able to sleep when they hear about my Pegasus ride!" she asked, as if remembering something, "By the way, how high can Frigga fly?"

"It didn't fly too high, because it didn't have to, it flew to a thousand meters at the highest, and it should be okay to go up, as long as the air is not too thin and there is enough oxygen. He replied.

"That's right...... Maybe in the future, you can ride the Frigga straight up to Mount Aare and land in the monastery. She said expectantly.

Although the altitude of Mount Aare is more than 5,000 meters, the relative height of the plateau at the foot of the mountain is less than 2,000 meters, and it is not completely impossible to fly up the mountain on horseback.

Frigga quickly flew to the location where the search had been interrupted yesterday, and Jiang Chanji couldn't see any difference, so he could only believe that it was not wrong.

After a while.

The walkie-talkie sounds:

"Team 2, Team 3, I'm Team 1, do you guys find anything over there?" Aurora said, with the sound of helicopter rumbling propellers in the background.

"Team 2 didn't find anything out of the ordinary. ”

"There is no ...... on the side of Team 3," Jiang Chanji replied.

"Watch out of your head!" Arabella suddenly exclaimed.

Jiang Chanji looked up and saw a huge black shadow falling in the sky, the wings spread out were not much smaller than Friggya, and the black and yellow claws were shaped like curved hooks, once caught, I am afraid that it could pierce the skulls of many animals.

It was a vicious vulture, very large, flying like a dark cloud, with a hideous appearance and unkind eyes.

Frigga could see almost 360 degrees, but the horse's eyes were on the side rather than on the top of his head, and the daily danger was mainly from terrestrial beasts rather than birds of prey, and the wind noise was too loud for it to notice that the vultures were swooping down in the air.

The squid whiskers don't respond, so it's supposed to be a normal vulture, but it's frighteningly large.

The target of the vulture's attack was not Friggia, but Jiang Chanji or Arabella on horseback.

It's also possible that it didn't want to prey on them, but it was just out of curiosity, but when it was hit by such sharp and strong claws, they had a few more blood holes in their bodies.

Arabella keenly picked up unusual noises in the ambient sounds, and she heard two fluttering soundwaves, one near her and one overhead, rapidly approaching, and she raised a warning voice.

The fishy wind was blowing, and the vultures' small black eyes were filled with their growing figures.

"Hold it tight!"

It was too late for Frigga to turn, Jiang Chanji carried a bow and arrow, but Arabella was holding his waist, and he couldn't take it off, so he took off the walkie-talkie hanging on his shoulder and threw it on one of the vulture's wings.

The walkie-talkie didn't hit its wing bones, but it knocked off a few black feathers and a bunch of tiny down feathers, and it seemed to know that this strange thing was not to be messed with, so it gave up its intention to be tempted, screamed, and flapped its wings and flew away.

He paid attention to the angle when he threw the walkie-talkie, the walkie-talkie rose first and then fell, drawing a parabola, and when it fell, it happened to be picked up by him who had flown forward for some distance.

"Team 3, what's going on over there?"

"Team 3, do you need us to help?"

He hurriedly said, "It's okay, just now there was an eyeless vulture that might have taken us for food, and now it has flown away." ”

The walkie-talkie side breathed a sigh of relief, "It's scared to death, be careful that it flies back again." ”

"Don't worry, we're already prepared, even if it flies back, it'll be fine. ”

"Sorry for the interruption. A middle-aged man's voice rang out over the intercom.

Ron just heard someone translate Jiang Chanji's words, and reminded him: "The vulture that can treat you as its prey should not be very small, right? ”

Jiang Chanji heard the meaning of his words, this seemed to be a clue, there were two possibilities for the large animal corpses that Ron was referring to, either human corpses - of course he didn't want this possibility, or animal corpses left after being hunted and eaten, maybe they were killed by No. 33.

Anyway, I don't have a clue now, so I might as well fly over with the vulture, and if I don't find anything useful, it's a big deal to fly back.

Jiang Chanji touched Frigga's flank with his toes, and then pointed to the vulture that was moving away, and Frigga understood and flew after the vulture instead.

"Friggya, if you look closely, isn't this guy's way of flying very labor-saving?"

He leaned forward, wrapped his arms around Friggia's neck, and put his hands together in front of it, first imitating the fluttering motion, then flattening, then flapping, then flattening, and repeating.

The vulture was flying in a relaxed manner, with a pair of wide wings stretched out to the sides, stopping its flapping movements and soaring with the updraft.

Jiang Chanji tried his best to speak, and even said and compared, and he didn't know if Frigga could understand it, but this vulture was indeed the best demonstration.

Frigga saw that the vulture did not fall without flapping its wings, so she observed it for a while, trying to slow down the flapping frequency of its wings.

At first, it found that after reducing the frequency of the flapping wings, the body immediately dropped, and quickly increased the frequency, and tried several times in a row, plus Jiang Chanji used his hands instead of wings to repeatedly compare in front of it, and it finally found that although the body would decline, the decline was relatively gentle, not like the electrocardiogram of sudden rise and fall, but the point was to fully extend the wings, the more you stretched, the more you could go for a ride.

Its weight and that of a vulture cannot be compared to that of a vulture, and it cannot be as easy as a vulture soaring, but as long as it is used properly, it can get a short rest time in flight, and after becoming proficient, it can greatly extend the flight distance.

"You're teaching it to fly?" asked Arabella.

"Well, it hasn't learned to soar, it's just stupid to flutter, just so that this vulture can teach it. He replied.

Flying and flying, the vulture's wings were clearly stretched out, but it flew higher and higher, indicating that there was a strong updraft below.

Jiang Chanji saw a ridge appear in front of him, and the air flow from the forest was forced to rise after encountering the ridge.

As if the vulture had seen something, its wings suddenly stretched out to its side, as if diving, and a fierce man stabbed down.

When Frigga flew over, Jiang Chanji saw that the vulture had landed on the ground.

There were several other vultures on the ground, driving each other away with a few wild dogs or jackals and other animals to fight for ownership of a carcass on the ground.

Fortunately, the corpse was not a human corpse, and it was not very clear from the air, only a black animal, very large, but only the head and part of the neck remained, it looked like a sheep, but there were no horns, and there were no wild horses in the forest or on the ridge.

Why is there only a head and a neck left? What about the body? It has been eaten up by scavengers? Even if it is eaten up, there must be a skeleton, right?

The carcass attracts many scavengers, herds of wild dogs compete with each other, and vultures wait for an opportunity.

Jiang Chanji asked Frigga to fly lower to make it easier to observe.

The carcass was badly damaged, and by comparison of its size, the animal was larger than the usual four-hoofed herbivore.

Frigga circled around a few times, and he finally recognized that it was a goat, but he couldn't figure out why there were no horns, and the flesh and blood of the sheep's head were blurry, and he couldn't see clearly.

"Friggia, can you land?" he patted Frigga on the neck and pointed down.

There are no dense woods around the ridge, but it is full of rocks and no smooth runway, and it was very dangerous for Frigga to land in such a situation, and if her hooves accidentally stuck in the cracks of the rocks and were pinned, her leg would definitely be broken.

Lin Hai is vast, and there is no way to save a fracture in such a place.

However, Frigga had just learned some of the tricks of soaring, and he felt a strong upward wind here, and knew that he could descend slowly with his wings outstretched, so he stretched out his wings and circled around a certain place, lowering his altitude and slowing down as he soared.

Jiang Chanji looked at the ground rocks that were getting closer and closer in horror, he didn't want to hurt Frigga for a vague clue, once he got too close to the ground, he planned to order Friga to pull up again.

"We're going to land, be careful. He reminded Arabella.

Frigga became more and more adept at using its wings, and once it descended too quickly, it flapped its wings twice to regain its altitude, and when it was only a few meters above the ground, it almost reduced its speed to zero, and then flapped its wings twice, landing smoothly on a boulder.

"Awesome!Friga, you're amazing!" he patted it on the side of the neck happily, but unfortunately there was no apple on hand to reward it now.

"What smells?" Arabella smelled an extremely disgusting smell and covered her nose with her nun gown.

"Don't ......" Jiang Chanji was about to remind her not to look at the corpse, but immediately thought that she couldn't "see" it at all, so he changed his words: "Don't be afraid, it's a dead goat." ”

Those wild dogs and vultures were still fighting with you just now, and when they saw Pegasus and Jiang Chanji, they became unanimous again, treating him as an enemy who came to grab food, and bared their teeth at him viciously, roared, and chirped, trying to drive him away, but they couldn't get up to this boulder, so they could only stare dryly.

Jiang Chanji turned his body sideways, put his hands under Arabella's armpits, put her from the horse onto the boulder, and then jumped off the horse himself.

He picked up a few pieces of rubble and threw them at the wild dogs and vultures, which were quickly driven away, but not far, and the thief continued to peep unduly, waiting for him to eat the leftovers to be cold.

Jiang Chanji covered his nose and jumped off the boulder, endured nausea and looked at the corpse of the black goat, he thought it was a sheep born without horns, but when he looked closely, he found that it was wrong, its horns were broken hard, and the section of the junction between the horns and the skull was rough.

The most important thing is that the cross-section of its neck is very smooth, as if it has been cut by some kind of sharp blade, and it is impossible to die from natural causes.

This goat's size is much larger than that of ordinary goats, and the cervical vertebrae are also thicker, if you want to cut off such a neck, in addition to the weapon must be sharp, the hand strength must also be large enough, otherwise the weapon may be stuck in the bone gap of the cervical vertebrae, and it is impossible to cut it in two so cleanly.

This chopping technique reminded him of the golden knife of Kali.

Could it be that Kali dried it? Kali is still alive?

He was happy and worried, happy that if Kali was still alive, it was very likely that No. 33 and the nuns would also be alive, because they were likely to stay in the cargo hold with Kali at the time of the accident, and Kali could survive with her hands and feet tied, and there was no reason why No. 33 and they couldn't survive...... And the worry is that Kali is a strong enemy after all, and it is not good for them that she is alive.

Of course, this was just his speculation, and there was no evidence that the black goat was killed by Kali, but he hoped so.

He searched around again, and found several barrels and bowls between the cracks of a stone, crudely shaped, apparently improvised and sharpened.

Two bowls.

Two bowls don't mean only two people survived, maybe it's just a matter of saving trouble, he told himself.

He looked up at the ridge, and if it was him and got lost in the forest, the first thing that would have come to mind would have been to find a high place to observe the terrain.

Suddenly, his heart pounded because he saw an artificially carved arrow on a stone.

The arrow is pointing upwards and pointing above the ridge, with the "33" engraved next to it.

It's the mark left by the 33rd!

They're still alive!
