Before we could lean down to take a look, there was another cry ahead, this time not in surprise, but in a scream. I only heard Sheng Shiyao order: "Xiaoxiao, go back and wake everyone up, remember not to move, and stay in the camp." As soon as the words fell, he and Zhuang Yu had already rushed out, and there was a priority in the matter, I knew the seriousness of the matter, and I didn't follow up again.

After finding out that the man lying on the ground was still breathing, he ignored him for the time being, turned around and ran back to the camp, first went to wake up Zhou Tong and Liuzi, and without much explanation, he told them that something was wrong and woke everyone up. When he turned around and was about to call Jian Ning for a while, he found that she had already sat up, looking dazed and uneasy. After everyone was called, I called Zhou Tong and Liuzi to carry the fainting man back to the ground.

Through the firelight, they found that the man's face was dark, and everyone was taken aback. hurriedly searched for any injuries on his body, and soon found a bloody wound on the back of his neck, as if he had been bitten by some animal. First of all, it was ruled out that it was a snake, because it was impossible for a snake to coil around a person's neck to bite it, and after a burst of serum, his face improved slightly. At this time, Sheng Shiyao and the others also came back, and there was Uba who came back together, but the other person was dragged back.

After the man was put down, my heart was cold, obviously much more serious than the one I had just saved, my whole face was black and purple, and my chest did not rise and fall much, as if my breath was gradually gone. We hurriedly stepped forward to rescue him, but heard Zhuang Yu say: "It's not helped, his carotid artery was bitten off." Everyone changed color, Zhou Tong raised the man's head, and saw that the side of the neck, all stained red with blood, did not even enter the neckline, seeing that he twitched a few times, he stopped moving.

"Dead?" After a while, I heard Zhou Tong ask suspiciously. The answer is obvious, and it is hard to imagine that a human life can be lost so easily in just a few minutes. I looked at it before I found my voice, "What happened?" They...... Why is this happening? Sheng Shiyao looked at me, calmed his gaze and said: "They encountered a bird the size of an eagle, which is not only fierce but also cunning, and there will be two disturbing eyes, one of which will sneak up on the back and bite the back of the neck. ”

Was it bitten by a bird? Wait, Sheng Shiyao's eyes were fixed on me, meaning...... The terrible night cry I heard before was made by this bird? Isn't that another warning come true?

"Uba, tell me more about the situation." Zhuang Yuhei opened his mouth with a calm face, while Uba also had a gloomy face, and his face was extremely ugly. It turned out that when the three of them were called by Zhuang Yu to inspect the periphery, one of them stood by the bush to solve it because of internal urgency, and the person only felt a gust of wind sweeping behind his head, and then a pain in his neck, and when he turned around, he only saw a black shadow flashing, and he was immediately frightened and walked to the side of Uba, intending to report to them, but before he got close, he was pushed by something from behind, and one fell and ate.

At this moment, Uba noticed the movement, and when he turned back, he saw a huge bird fluttering its wings and flying high into the air, disappearing into the darkness. The two of them hurriedly went to help the man, and asked what had happened, and as soon as he told him what had happened, Uba went to look at the back of his neck and found that there was a bloody hole there. At this moment, he suddenly heard a muffled grunt behind him, and when he turned around, he saw a pair of outstretched wings flapping on the other man's face, dragging him back quickly. Before he could react, a strong wind hit the back of his head, and he was forced to let go of the man he was holding on, and took two steps back, only to see the big bird flying low overhead.

He didn't want to chase after him, but the bird was extremely fast, and the one that was dragging the person was already dozens of meters away, while the one behind him was flying at a low altitude all the time, as if ready to pounce and attack at any time. When he heard the scream, he knew that it was not good, and when he caught up with him, he saw his companion lying on the ground, his whole body convulsed. Low in the sky, the sound of wings fluttering one after another, as far as the eye can see, you can see three large birds, all more than half a man tall, with green eyes, like ghosts in the dark.

Fortunately, Sheng Shiyao and Zhuang Yu arrived in time, otherwise the three big birds must have attacked Uba, and after seeing the two coming, they all flew high from a low altitude, hovering back and forth above, and never wanted to go. In the end, I don't know if it was the bird that screamed violently, and they gradually flew away. When they went to inspect the man lying on the ground, they found that he was already breathing, and soon found that the artery in the back of his neck had been bitten off.

After listening to the whole statement, everyone sighed and amazed, and Zhou Tong asked in surprise: "What kind of bird can be so ferocious?" Also actively attacking humans? ”

Zhuang Yu narrowed his eyes and looked at this side, "Yao, what do you think?" Seeing that Sheng Shiyao was silent, he said again: "As far as I know, there is an eagle called the Andean vulture, which is more than one meter long and has two wings spread nearly 3 meters. The mouth is in the shape of an iron hook, very sharp, and has sharp claws, and it eats live creatures, not only small and medium-sized animals, but even large mammals such as cougars, but ......"

"But this kind of vulture lives between cliffs and cliffs, and it is unlikely to be found in the deep mountains and old forests." Sheng Shiyao understood his speculation, paused and said: "The most infested bird of prey in the forest is the golden eagle, and this kind of big bird hunting technique is also similar to the golden eagle, but the call of the golden eagle is definitely not like this, have you noticed the top of the big bird's head?" With two towering black crests and claws almost the size of a man's palm, this large bird would be a horned eagle, also known as a harpy eagle or a harpy eagle, if I judge correctly. ”

I have gained more knowledge, and this is the first time I have heard of an eagle with such a name. I saw that Zhou Tong and a few people were all blind, and they were not familiar with this kind of bird clan. Zhuang Yu was able to talk to Sheng Shiyao, and after a deep sigh, he asked: "But most of the horned eagles live in the Americas, how did they come to our forest?" And why suddenly attack humans? ”

"This eagle prefers tropical rainforest areas, likes to nest on tall branches, and is very territorial and occupies almost 20 square kilometers of forest area. Obviously, we have entered their territory and belong to the foreign invaders. Sheng Shiyao calmly analyzed, and glanced at me here, "Maybe last night we camped on the periphery of this kind of horned eagle's territory, and the warning we heard was to inform that we were about to enter a dangerous territory, but we ignored it." ”

Zhuang Yu stopped, staring at the two people lying on the ground with heavy eyes, the person who saved first had already woken up, he was considered to be less injured, and the other person was already exhausted. Suddenly, Zhuang Yu said in a secret voice: "Yao, did you listen carefully to the cry of the big bird just now?" Although it is sharp and ugly, it seems to be a little different from the woman-like crying described by Cheng Xiao. ”

Sheng Shiyao's face sank, the fingers on my hand tightened, and I couldn't help but be stunned, Zhuang Yu means that the night cry may not refer to these ferocious horned eagles, and there are more powerful birds in this forest? It was very frightening, in the mountains and forests, it should have been fierce beasts such as lions and tigers that dominated the king, but now the bird clan occupied the mountain.

The discussion ended here, and finally Zhuang Yu asked the dead team members to be buried first.

As the so-called disadvantage of the teacher, we have just entered the primeval forest, and one of the fifteen people was lost, and some people were injured, especially the ferocity of the horned eagle made everyone's hearts very heavy, and the people were not panicked, but they felt depressed. After digging up the earth with a shovel and burying the man in a hurry, he erected a freshly cut wooden board in front of his grave as a monument, and wrote only his name on it. The crowd stood in silence at his grave for ten minutes before they sighed and dispersed.

By this time it was already dawn, and the trip would not be terminated because one person had been lost along the way, so after each of them had simply freshened up and eaten dry food, they left the place and headed deeper into the woodland.

I don't know if it's psychological, but I often hear the sound of wings fluttering in my ears, but when I look up at the sky, I don't see any birds. After thinking about it again and again, I pulled Sheng Shiyao down, approached him and whispered to him about this illusion, because I was afraid that if it was not a psychological effect, but another warning, the consequences of silence might be serious. After Sheng Shiyao heard this, he turned his eyes to Zhou Tong behind him and said, "Take out the weapon, hold one in one person's hand, and be on alert." ”

Zhou Tong was accustomed to obeying his orders, so he stopped to unpack his burden and took out the gun without asking. When Zhuang Yu's people saw our movement, they all stopped and waited for instructions. Zhuang Yu glanced at me and ordered everyone to put their weapons in their hands and be on full alert.

In fact, my hunch was accurate. Just as we advanced about a kilometer, we heard movement in the woods overhead, the forest here is not only dense, but also the trees are dozens of meters high, looking up can only see birds jumping between the cracks of the trees, whether it is the horned eagle is unknown. The movement grew louder and louder, and we all stopped, guns in our hands and above our heads, ready to aim at the birds attacking downward.

I don't know who fired a shot, and with a bang, it resounded through the sky and shook everyone's hearts. At the same time, the fluttering movement disappeared immediately, and the whole space was still, unusually still! Generally, after the gunshot, the bird is frightened, and it will flutter and fly away, how can there be such an instant stillness? There was a strong instinct that the birds were hiding among the leaves, watching us.

It's a creepy feeling, with so many pairs of eyes peeping through the woods that you can't tell where they are. I heard Sheng Shiyao say in a deep voice: "Yu, let the team continue to move forward, don't take care of the top of your head, arrange two people to stare at the front and back, these birds are intended to disturb our emotions." ”

I was shocked, could it be that these birds still have thinking and know how to attack the mind? Then I thought that there are many animals in nature that are actually very smart, and it is the laws of survival that have allowed them to hone various hunting methods.

After that, there were no birds until noon, but we could hear the movement overhead, and it seemed that they were following us step by step. I don't understand this, what are they trying to do, is it just to disturb people's minds?
