Chapter 16: A Flock of Crows

"Smack."

Something fell on his face.

"Ahem...... Cough...... Whoa......"

On one side of his face, a stream of water flowed out of Rey's mouth.

It was so painful, I felt like my lungs were choking on water.

"Ahem...... Cough...... Crash...... Whoa......"

Two more streams of water erupted.

Rey gradually regained consciousness. In the middle of the night, I vaguely felt that a pair of small hands grabbed me, and I desperately dragged myself up, and I didn't know how much water I drank......

The world was dark, everything was quiet, and it seemed as if I had stopped swinging. Finally, in the deepest part of my memory, there was a pair of hands pressed against my chest, and a moist and warm thing was pressed to my mouth......

"Liu Min ......"

Rey muttered to himself.

Needless to say, Liu Min must have saved himself desperately. Rey struggled to open his eyes.

In the dark vision, as the eyelids opened, a bright slit appeared, which was so dazzling......

"Quack! Wail! ”

"Smack, smack! Syllable! ”

On the left side of the face, on the right side of the face, on the forehead, in the blink of an eye, three lumps of stuff dripped down, accompanied by a slight stench.

What is it?

"Quack, quack, quack!"

A few more light pieces of something slowly fell on Rey's body, soft, slippery, and strangely itchy.

"Quack! Wail! Wail! Wail! ”

Consciousness gradually returned, and it looked like a large flying thing hovering overhead.

Rey finally opened his eyes!

A blinding white light fammed, and Rey gradually regained his sight.

Overhead ......

There's a big bird overhead!

A group of black birds are fighting a group of white as snow birds, and above their bodies is the main battlefield of the birds, and the croaking birds desperately grasp each other with their sharp claws and tear each other with their sharp beaks.

"Quack! Wail! Wail! Wail! ”

Accompanied by the mournful birdsong, the pitch-black feathers, the white feathers fell one after another, and the sky feathers slowly fell on Rey's body, covering the shirtless man who had been invaded by the cold with a layer of black and white natural feather quilt.

Rey didn't enjoy it, because there were piles of guano falling from the sky.

"Smack. Syllable. Syllable. ”

Rey dodged and dodged three pieces of guano. Crawling out of the distance with both hands and feet, avoiding the main battlefield of the flocks of birds.

"Quack! Wail! Wail! ”

The black and white flocks of birds have already killed the red eyes, the pitch-black tail feathers, the white wing feathers are overwhelmingly falling, and from time to time there are defeated birds, unwilling to dance the last few wings, and hit the head in the feather pile.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

"Quack, quack......"

There were more and more defeated birds, and with a miserable cry, they fell like downed fighters.

The birds of the same color in the back immediately filled the gap left by the falling birds, and rushed forward, biting and scratching......

"Quack! Wail! Wail! ”

The chirping became more and more poignant, and Rey felt that the war of the birds above his head was no less than any human air battle, and even more brutal due to the primitive and direct presentation!

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

More and more birds are falling.

A defeated white bird fell straight down to Rey's side, its white feathers were already red with blood, its sharp beak had fallen off, its sharp claws had been smoothed, and only one of its wings were also bloodied on its body, and this wing flapped slightly for the last few times......

"Boom!"

The white bird still fell to the ground, and the black eyes were dripping with blood, and Rey seemed to see the unwillingness that flashed in the white bird's black eyes.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

Vast expanses of birds have fallen to the graveyard made of their own and their own feathers.

The battle is finally coming to an end.

The blackbirds gradually lost their way.

A dozen white birds slowly encircled the last four blackbirds in the center.

"Quack!"

The largest blackbird let out a terrible chirp, fluttered its two blood-soaked wings, and rushed towards the outer whitebirds with indomitable courage and the pride of all their sacrificial fellow-citizens.

"Quack ......"

The white bird on the periphery was instantly pecked in one eye by the big black bird and let out a piercing chirp.

The Great Black Bird grabbed at another white bird with a pair of sharp claws......

"Boom! Boom! ”

At the moment when the Great Blackbird made its final struggle, the White Bird flock instantly eliminated the two Blackbirds.

There were more than a dozen white birds flying in the air, and the only two remaining blackbirds looked indescribably lonely.

"Quack! Wail! ”

The two white birds each grabbed the two wings of the great black bird, and the big black bird tried his best to shake off the two white birds, and the pitch-black feathers fell in large pieces.

"Quack! Wail! ”

Two more white birds rushed up and grabbed the wings of the great black bird.

The great blackbird danced desperately, its wings scarred and bloody.

"Quack!"

Just as the Great Black Bird struggled with all its might, a white bird rushed towards one of the trapped Great Black Bird's eyes with a cold glittering beak and a smug call.

"Quack ......"

Just as the sharp beak was about to touch the eyes of the great blackbird, another blackbird rushed forward and blocked the way in front of the great blackbird......

The white bird's cold beak pierced the head of the rushing blackbird.

"Quack ......"

The blackbird fell.

There was only the last big black bird left in the sky, and looking at its rapidly falling companion, it burst out with the last of its strength, and instantly broke free from the two white birds that were holding its wings.

"Quack!"

It was definitely the most poignant cry Rey had ever heard, and the Great Black Bird rushed towards the white bird that had killed his companion.

"Smack...... Click"

The two beaks tore together, and finally the big black bird successfully grabbed the white bird's beak and ripped it off alive, biting it to pieces.

"Quack! Wail! Wail! Wail! Wail! Wail! Quack ......"

Countless chirpings exploded above Rey's head, and more than a dozen white birds rushed forward in an instant, each of which grabbed a part of the big black bird and tore it hard.

The pitch-black feathers almost all fell down.

"Knock !!"

The Great Blackbird finally fell, with its mutilated body, with all the pride of the Blackbird, and with three white birds......

The flock of white birds finally won the battle.

The air fell silent.

……

Rey looked at the last dozen or so white birds flying in the air, and suddenly had an indescribable feeling in his heart, as if there was a strange beauty in the cruel battle, like a ghostly flower, bloodshed and sacrifice are the nourishment for this demon flower.

……

"Liu Min!"

Rey, who was gradually regaining his strength, shouted loudly.

The sound echoed through the cavern.

The world finally became clear, and he was in a huge cave, not only wide but also not high, with the sound of gurgling water beneath him, and through the broken rock, Rey saw that the lower cave was already full of water.

The upper rock where the bodies of himself and the birds were located was supposed to be the bottom of a lake, and pulling out the sword caused the upper rock to collapse, and the pouring water filled the next layer of the cave and vacated this layer.

"Liu Min!"

Rey shouted anxiously as he weaved through the corpses of the birds.

The white bird and the black bird turned out to be crows! There are so many white crows?

"Liu Min!"

No one answered. Hoarse voices echoed in circles through the cavern.

Not far from the bottom of the lake, a giant tree appeared in front of Rey.

The foliage is lush and green.

There is no end in sight to the towering trees.

This, this should be the so-called camphor tree surrounded by crows?

"Liu Min! Where are you? ”

Rey shouted as he approached the camphor tree.

The scent in the air is getting stronger.

Not far away, the lush foliage of the camphor tree shaded the sky and spread over Rey's head. Through the layers of foliage, Rey seemed to see the blue-gray night sky, and even a twinkling star.

"Quack!"

The winning crow behind him moved.

Rey turned his head, and a dozen white crows flapped their wings and floated in the air, as if waiting for something.

"Quack!"

There was another chirp, and the white crow, whose beak had been ripped off by the last fallen black crow, flew over the crows with a bloodied and miserable appearance.

"Quack!"

As if commanded, the crows flew over Rey's head towards the huge camphor tree.

"Quack! Wail! Wail! ”

The crows frantically attacked a gray-black thing that was crouching on a thick branch of the camphor tree.

Blood soon flowed down from the gray-black thing, along with a few feathers.

Is this, this also a crow?

The gray-black mass was huge, crouching on the branches like a treehouse.

It wrapped its two huge gray-black wings tightly around it, and let the white crows peck at it, standing still.

"Quack! Wail! Wail!!! ”

The white crows launched the fiercest attack.

In a few moments, its huge gray-black wings were completely stained red with blood.

"Quack !!"

The giant crow crouching on the branch finally couldn't take it anymore, and it flapped its huge wings suddenly, shooting down two white crows in an instant.

At the moment when it flailed its wings, a figure flashed under its huge wings.

The wings immediately closed.

"Quack, quack."

The crows are still attacking, and there are less than ten of them.

"Smack!"

The crow flapped its wings again and took away the two crows.

Beneath the wings was a petite figure, curled up tightly, with a white arm stretched out, and a red rope wrapped around the crook of the arm.

It's Liu Min.

"Liu Min!"

Rey screamed and rushed over.

The huge camphor trunk was very rough, and Rey, who was clinging to the trunk, anxiously listened to the crows croaking overhead, and climbed up indiscriminately.

"Quack! Wail! ”

The struggle overhead is still fierce.

Gotta hold on, hold on!

Rey crawled dazedly as he prayed that the gray-black giant crow would not fall.

"Smack! Syllable! ”

It was the sound of a few white crows falling to the ground.

Large white and gray-black feathers fell from Rey's eyes.

Rey was anxious.

Finally, I was about to touch the thick branch.

"Whoa."

One missed, and Rey slid down the trunk.

Rey quickly inserted all ten of his fingernails into the trunk of the tree, and finally stopped.

There was already a trace of blood on the trunk.

Rey didn't care so much, and all that was left in his eyes was the thick branch.

It's almost ...... It's almost ...... It's just a little bit ...... It's about to be there!

"Knock !!"

A huge roar like a meteor falling to the ground came from underground.

The huge gray-black crow that looked like a treehouse finally fell, bringing up a flood of feathers.

The branch was in sight, and Rey quickly climbed up the branch.

"Quack! Wail! Wail! ”

The only three remaining white crows attacked Liu Min who was curled up on the branches with the joy of the victors.

Rey didn't want to gallop over in three steps and two steps, protecting Liu Min under him.

"It hurts!"

The sharp beaks of the three white crows thrust into Rey's bare back, blood dripping and cold sweat flowing.

Lei Yi endured severe pain and looked at Liu Min, who was tightly protected by him.

Her delicate body was tightly curled up, there was a large patch of sticky juice on her body, her hands were weakly slightly open, and the fishing rod had long since disappeared, but there was a short sword scattered around her hand, and the hilt was silvery-white.

She was trembling slightly.

Rey smiled, she was still alive.
