Chapter 21: The Crows

The crow hovering above us was eerie, they didn't make a sound from beginning to end, as if it was just a mirage, not real.

If we hadn't seen them with our naked eyes, we wouldn't have been able to spot them.

Looking at the eerily quiet flock of birds overhead, none of us said a word, and our expressions became a little solemn.

"Sobago, we encountered this situation in the uninhabited area of Qiangtang...... Is it normal? I asked tentatively.

"Of course it's not normal." Soba frowned and said, "I have been into Qiangtang quite a few times, and there are many people around me who often work in no man's land, doing scientific research or something....... No one has ever encountered anything like this. ”

"These crows look pretty normal..... Could it be that we are too careful? Chen Qiuyan said cautiously: "It turns out that I have also encountered such a situation in the mountains, where crows are hovering and flying in the sky, and the black pressure is like a dark cloud. ”

"Can you hear me then?" I asked directly.

Chen Qiuyan was stunned for a second, shook his head, and said that he couldn't hear it.

"That's right." I smiled wryly, "Something is not quite right with these crows, I can't feel the breath they should have...... It's not that crows haven't seen them, and their characteristics are heavy, but these birds don't even have the slightest bit of anger, just like dead things. ”

As soon as the words fell, I patted Soba on the shoulder: "You stop first, I'll go down and have a look." ”

Soba didn't think much of it and quickly stopped the buggy.

When I opened the door and went down, Soba took out a pistol from under the seat of the car, handed it over, and prepared to get out of the car with me.

"You wait for me in the car, don't get down......." I didn't take the gun, and whispered: "If the situation is not right, you drive back in the car, don't get down if I don't let you get down, don't get down......."

With that, I closed the car door, took a few steps to the side, and looked up at the dense flock of crows.

The altitude of these crows is the same, about seventy or eighty meters above the ground, and their flight trajectory is very regular, they are constantly circling in circles, and they have no intention of flying or landing far away......

Just when I hesitated to ask Soba to borrow a gun and flew up into the sky, I only heard two strange sounds, and the crows that were constantly circling in the sky seemed to have been exploded by explosives in an instant, and rushed in all directions without warning.

But after flying some distance outward, the crows reversed course and flew back to their original position.

The crows kept congregating, and even more so than before, almost to the point that they were close to each other, and I suspected that they would crash into "their own people" while flying, but it was strange.......

When the crows had gathered to the point of a thick fog, I could no longer distinguish the outline of each crow, as if they had assimilated into each other.

Looking at this thick fog as black as ink, the expression on my face suddenly changed.

I didn't dare to think about it, I ran behind the SUV in a few steps, opened the trunk, took the Miao knife out of it, and held it tightly in my hand.

"What's wrong Shi'an??" Seeing that I reacted so much, Chen Qiuyan couldn't help but ask, "Is there an enemy??" ”

As she spoke, she was about to pull the car door and get down, but I stopped her.

"Minor problem." I laughed and said, "It's just a bunch of miscellaneous birds, and it's a matter of time to solve them." ”

Perhaps persuaded by my explanation, Chen Qiuyan hugged the mouse, put one hand on the handlebar, looked at me with a worried face, but did not get out of the car.

At this moment, the black mist has a tendency to press downward, and unlike before, it does not stay in mid-air, but descends vertically towards us......

The closer I got to us, the stronger the smell I could smell.

That's the breath of the old religion...... It smells like yin but is much more humid...... It also has the salty smell of dead fish and rotten shrimp.

At first, the smell was not strong, and I couldn't even smell it, until the crows gathered into this huge black mist, and I gradually smelled this familiar smell.

But undeniably, the fog felt a little dangerous to me, and it didn't really threaten me, so I didn't worry at all when I stood outside the car, and waited for these things to descend.

Under the influence of the Flesh Gu and the power of the Ancients, my physical body has been out of the realm of the mortal body of the flesh, and I dare not say that it is big, at least the jumping power has been improved like a fly.

However, there is a limit to this improvement, and when the black fog falls thirty or forty meters above the ground, I don't dare to jump casually.

According to what I know about myself, the height I can jump up from the ground should be four or five stories old, that is, about fifteen meters......

"Old Shen, can you really handle it?" Soba looked at me worriedly, and I guess he sensed that something was wrong.

Seeing that I tensed my muscles and half-squatted on the ground like Zamabu, Soba looked at me twice, showing some confusion, and asked me tentatively: "What are you going to do here?" ”

"High Jump." I replied quietly, my eyes fixed on the slowly descending black mist, and while estimating the distance between it and me, I chatted to Soba: "When I was in college, I was the highest jumper in my class....... Now I'm jumping higher...... Don't be scared by me for a while......"

When Soba heard me say this, he couldn't help laughing, probably thinking I was joking: "Old Shen, I'm not a three-year-old child, even if it's a child, no matter how high you jump, you can't scare me, my guts are ........"

Before Soba could finish speaking, I was sure that the distance was almost there, and without hesitation, I jumped on the spot and pounced straight at the black mist.

At that moment, I faintly heard Soba's exclamation beneath me.

"Holy shit. You have springs on your legs?! ”

Almost instantly, before I could even blink an eye, I had a close encounter with the black mist.

When I touched them, I realized that they weren't fog or crows like I had seen before, but something that felt a lot like paper.

Yes, it's like crumpled toilet paper, it's not rough, it's a little indescribably soft.

The feeling of rushing into this black fog is like a punch on the cotton, and this black fog has no intention of attacking me, but includes me in it.

I didn't fall down, I just let this black mist envelop me, although I was still able to move freely, but the indescribable feeling of tiredness....... It's really uncomfortable.

It was dark in the fog, there was no light at all, and nothing could be seen.

I held the Miao knife in my hand vigilantly, and waved it from side to side twice, but I still didn't find anything else.

At this moment, a red light suddenly lit up not far away, which was not dazzling, but it seemed to me that the light was very abrupt.

When the red light came on, there was an unbearable pain in almost every part of my body, similar to the feeling of being burned by boiling water, but I could still endure the pain, and it didn't have any real effect on me.......

I could feel that the Gu Qi in my body was running rapidly, and the ancient qi that was all over my limbs and hundreds of bones was gradually circulating.

It's as if they're repairing my flesh....... I must have been injured.

I only heard a strange sound, and the ball of light that emitted red light also brightened more than ten times in an instant, and this sudden change made me unable to open my eyes, and tears couldn't stop flowing out.

I didn't dare to hesitate at all, I grabbed the Miao knife tightly and ran straight in the direction where the red light was.

As I ran, I swung my long knife, but all I could get was air.

It wasn't until I slashed straight in front of me that the blade stopped in mid-air, as if I had struck something, and the touch of the blade came...... It's kind of like a rock.

Before I could figure out what was going on, I found that my body was falling uncontrollably, and in the blink of an eye, I hit the ground and it hurt so much that I gritted my teeth.

"What the fuck....... Why did you fall so suddenly......." I couldn't help scolding, rubbed my eyes, only felt less uncomfortable, and slowly opened my eyes to look.

The Miao knife was still in my hand, and on the blade, there was a fist-sized crow statue.

I split a gap in the stone statue, and the blade was embedded in this gap.

When I looked up, the black fog in the sky gradually began to dissipate, and the wind blew and dispersed by thirty percent, and the rest was also dissipating rapidly......

"What the hell is this.......
