Chapter 186: Leaky Mountain
Compared with these men who hunted all day long, their physique was obviously much weaker, and they were not used to walking the desert road, and before they were halfway there, I couldn't hold on, the stars were spinning in front of me, and my breath couldn't keep up, so I sat down on the ground.

Walking beside me was Kou Shi, who handed me a jug of water, and came up to me and asked, "Lord Vulcan, what's wrong?" β
Does he believe that immortals are tired of walking? I took a few sips of water and said, "I did too much today, and it hurt my spirit, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to deal with the birdman." "I'm tired and half dead, and I can only be eaten by the birdmen.
Kou Shi beckoned four young men with large muscles from behind, and said, "You take turns carrying Lord Vulcan on your back, and you must rush to Leaky Mountain before the first moon sets." β
As soon as the four of them agreed, a round-faced young man picked me up and left.
I didn't even have time to say that I didn't have to be carried.
I thought I could compete with the corners of the city walls, but when I was carried on my back, I felt a little wrong in my heart, and I couldn't help but think of the slave owners who enslaved the lower classes of the working people, who used to ride people for pleasure, and I now feel like a shameful slave-owning aristocracy.
I regained some strength, and told the lad to let me go, and I was going to go alone.
Kou Shi repeatedly advised me not to force me, and I insisted that no one would carry me on my back.
There was a vague black dot in the distance under the moonlit night, I stopped Kou Shi and said that it was Leaky Mountain, I asked him why it was called Leaky Mountain, and he said that the mountain was hollowed out all over the body, as if it was leaking, so they all called it Leaky Mountain.
After that period of shame of being carried, I suddenly felt my potential explode, and I didn't feel tired of hurrying.
The first moon had just disappeared, and we had just leaked under the mountain, and it was at least a hundred miles from the jungle to here, and we had traveled more than a hundred miles at night, and now it was estimated that it was almost dawn.
I'm tired, and I'm too bad in their eyes, and if I continue to behave like this, I may no longer have any prestige among them.
The height of the mountain is about 5,000 meters, and it is dark and bright under the light of three months, which may be the many holes that Kou Shi said, and I don't know where the girls were imprisoned, and whether they were eaten by the birdmen.
There is only one mountain pass leading to the leaky mountain, and it is very difficult to walk through the rocky rocks, and the birds have wings and do not need to walk.
On both sides of the mountain pass perched two birdmen, who looked like a human when they stood upright, but with two ugly packages on their backs, their wings retracted.
Kou Shi stepped forward and muttered a few words to the two birdmen guarding the mountain pass, and suddenly a birdman flew up into the air, swept towards us more than fifty people, and suddenly landed on top of our heads in a fast and incomparably fast diving posture, and a pair of sharp claws grabbed a person and flew into the air, I felt that the huge wings fanned a fishy wind, carrying the smell of guano.
Kou Shi gestured back and waved to negotiate with the birdman, his tone very angry.
The birdman returned to the boulder where it had been perched, opened its mouth and tore at the man who was holding it, and the man was still able to struggle, and after a few bites from the birdman, he lowered his arms.
Another birdman flew up from another boulder and bit the man's body with his beak outstretched.
I watched a living human being eaten by two big birds, what a cruel reality, and I, as one of these more than fifty people, was fortunate not to be chosen by it.
Kou Shi returned to the group and whispered to me, "If we are a little late, they will eat us alone as punishment." β
"It's a bully." I said, "If you have a chance, you'll have to kill a few birdmen to get angry." β
"Lord Vulcan, don't be impatient, don't let them see our dissatisfaction, or they will eat people." Kou Shi said with a bitter look on his face.
I feel that the situation is very serious, and if it causes any dissatisfaction among the birdmen, it will be like just now, and it will take a minute to destroy these fifty people.
Kou Shi led us to the mountain pass, passing by the two birdmen, I peeked at them, they were eating people, and they didn't pay attention to them.
After the mountain pass, I entered the leaky mountain, indeed as Kou Shi said, there are caves everywhere, I made a rough estimate, walked about a hundred meters, and found six caves, so dense caves may be when the comet passes here, the falling meteor shower is smashed out, I am not sure, it is estimated that most of the time.
Some of the caves are filled with the rough voice of the birdmen, and it is possible that the birdmen and their families live in them.
Entering the leaky mountain, these steps suddenly became lighter, and there was hardly any sound, except for the sound of my big feet rubbing against the ground, and the occasional sound of kicking away the stones and hitting the stones, and I soon realized that I was an outlier in this group of people.
I realized this, and immediately reined in the sound of carelessness, and crept along.
After walking a little further, I came across a birdman crawling on the side of the road, who seemed to be napping like a man, and when I was still ten feet away from it, he stood up, and Koshi trotted to the birdman's side, and muttered for a while, and then beckoned to us, saying, "Follow this birdman, and he will guide us to build an altar there." β
The birdman led the way, and we all followed him.
I whispered to Kou Shi, "Didn't it say what it was going to do to build the altar?" β
"I asked, said why did you recruit us in the middle of the night this time, the birdman said that the matter was urgent, and if he didn't recruit us in the middle of the night, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to complete the task before noon, and I asked it again, it had never recruited us in the middle of the night, what was the urgent task this time? It said that it was going to build a five-colored altar to worship the sky, these decades, I have not seen this day to worship the sky, I asked it again, why is it worshipping the sky today, in previous years it was not this time, it thought I asked too much, so I didn't say itγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»" Kou Shi was whispering to me, the birdman may have heard the sound, stopped, turned his head, and muttered a few words, Kou Shi quickly shut up, nodded to the birdman with a smile, shook his hand, pointed to his mouth, and said that he didn't speak, and the bird glared at Kou Shi with a sharp look, Turn around and continue to lead the way ahead.
The mountain road is tortuous and difficult to walk, in the difficult place, the birdman spread his wings and flew over lightly and skillfully, and we supported each other to climb over, and the birdman was still in front of him, muttering as if urging us to hurry up. (To be continued.) )
