Chapter 66: The Harpy
There was a loud bang outside the bungalow, which made Zhou Yao, who was lying on the sofa, open his eyes.
"What's the situation, my head hurts so much......"
Rubbing the swollen bag on his head, Zhou Yao blinked twice and his eyes cleared up a little.
Sakuya and Eryu were both waiting beside him, one expressionless and the other with a mixture of nervousness and remorse.
"Good morning, my master." Sakuya greeted unhurriedly and glanced at the second one beside him.
"It's back early! Lord! The second stunned spirit, and hurriedly followed the greeting, probably because she was too nervous, she accidentally bit her tongue halfway through the sentence.
"Oh, good morning...... No, how do I sleep here? By the way, I seem to have fainted because of something......"
Zhou Yao habitually replied, only to realize that something seemed wrong, and knocked his forehead and frowned trying to recall his previous memory.
However, as soon as I recall the key places, it seems to have encountered an invisible obstacle, and the memories of the previous period of time always seem blurry.
It seems that I encountered something to be happy about, and then I was given something by someone...... Kicked?
"No, master, you've been too tired lately, and you didn't go back to the room yesterday and slept directly in the living room." Sakuya lied without even blinking his eyes, and immediately interrupted Zhou Yao's recollection.
"But what's the deal with this bag on my head?" Zhou Yao asked again.
Then he looked at the second dull on the side and shook his body, looking like a thief and looking away, which made Zhou Yao even more strange, but his memory was always blurred, and he didn't understand why the second duke was shaking.
"It was caused by falling to the ground while sleeping, and I'll help you rub it."
As he spoke, Sakuya sat down next to Zhou Yao, intimately covered his little hand on Zhou Yao's head, and gently rubbed it.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but while the pain in his head was relieved, Zhou Yao's vague memory became transparent, so transparent that Zhou Yao couldn't even think about it.
In the end, he really didn't have a clue, and Zhou Yao took it as what Sakuya said.
The second one on the side quietly breathed a sigh of relief and turned his grateful gaze to Sakuya.
Thundered! The loud noise sounded again, Zhou Yao got up from the sofa, and hurriedly looked out of the window.
I saw a black shadow resembling a large bird flying over Yoder City, and the violent noise was caused by heavy weapons such as cannonballs fired below.
The Shadow was so fast that the bombardment couldn't reach its edge, but it couldn't do damage to the people below, and every time it tried to dive, it was blocked by an invisible position.
I think it's the orientation system of Yoder City that is working.
In other words, this dark shadow is a Dead Apostle, right?
"Uncle Lei, what about them?" Zhou Yao then thought of the others and asked Asakiya.
"After discovering the mutation, he went out, and told me to wait for the master to wake up and hurry over." Stopping the massage, Sakiya got up and said.
"It looks like the Dead Apostles are attacking, so let's go out too!"
Now that the Dead Apostles are knocking on the door, they can't sit still. Zhou Yao left a sentence and ran out of the bungalow first.
"Thank you so much this time...... Sixteen Nights-sama! The second stay who stayed in the bungalow solemnly thanked Sakuya.
"It's better to change the name suddenly, just call me Sakiya, the same master's subordinates, of course, they have to benefit each other." Sakiya replied lightly.
"...... each other Mutual benefit? "The second dumb was a little confused.
"Well, of course it's mutually beneficial." Sakiya gently raised the corners of her mouth.
Zhou Yao's voice sounded outside the room, and the two of them stopped staying and ran out.
The three of them walked forward for a while, and they saw a small group of people in front of the vault holding weapons such as bazookas bombarding the sky. The object of the bombardment was the black shadow that Zhou Yao had seen before.
Looking at it up close at this moment, Zhou Yao finally saw the true face of the black shadow clearly, it was a woman with wings replacing arms, bird feet replacing legs, and her whole body was pitch black.
She wore a bone peck mask on her forehead, red lines spread across the sides of her black cheeks, and a pair of eagle eyes looked down at the people below, making a high-pitched cry.
"It's not so much a Dead Apostle as a Harpy, right?" Zhou Yao looked at the other party's appearance and couldn't help but have questions.
Before he could speak again, there was a roar from the direction of the north gate, and the protective stance that blocked the harpy suddenly trembled, and then disappeared without a trace.
The harpy who broke through the defense line swooped down with a sharp roar, turned around the moment she landed, and used her wings to set off dozens of wind blades, which spread like a storm in the blink of an eye.
The team members, who were still shooting hard a moment ago, couldn't cope with this, and only supported a defensive magic trick, and they were hit by the wind blade and vomited blood and flew up.
Zhou Yao has the escort of Erdu and Sakiya, and there is nothing to do.
"Wow!" The harpy chirped and flailed her wings back into the air
"Fire Escape—Dragon Fire Technique!"
How could Zhou Yao let it leave calmly after it was arrogant, the dragon fire technique was cast, and a straight line of flames burst out, aiming directly at the rising harpy. It's a pity that in the end, he was dodged by a side spin of the opponent.
However, taking advantage of the opportunity for the harpy to fly into the air, Zhou Yao motioned to the injured team members to hurry into the refuge hole.
The harpy circled twice in the air, looking down at the only three of Zhou Yao left on the ground, her eagle eyes swaying and sweeping through the hole of the refuge, her belly swelling at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Damn, is this going to lay eggs?!" Zhou Yao shouted in surprise.
Sure enough, as he had said, eggs the size of an oval fist squeezed out from under the harpy's belly and fell down the air from below.
"Fire Escape - Phoenix Immortal Fire Technique!"
Urging the fire to escape, a group of fireballs that were two circles larger than the bird's egg greeted it, and the two collided together and exploded violently, not caused by the fireball, but by the bird's egg.
The cloud of fire dissipated, and the two eggs that had been missed left the scene and fell towards the entrance of the vault not far away, and if it did, all the situation in the vault would probably be buried alive.
Zhou Yao's eyes tightened, and he hurriedly called Sakiya, who instantly understood, threw out two knives, and intercepted the missing bird's egg in midair.
The harpy in the air chirped twice more angrily, and more eggs poured down.
Before Zhou Yao could respond, the eggs burst in the air, burrowing out young chicks.
"Can you still play like this?!"
Zhou Yao shouted, and another phoenix fire greeted him.
The fledglings ignited by the flames did not die directly, but flew up at low altitude with the flames, flying in the direction of the entrance of the refuge cave that had been almost blown up before.
"How could I have allowed you to succeed!"
Zhou Yao shouted, and Sakuya answered the sound in front of the entrance of the refuge cave to welcome the arrival of the flame chicks.
"I'll leave it to you, I'll go to the city gate and have a look!"
The loud roar that sounded in the direction of the north gate made Zhou Yao a little worried, this time the Dead Apostles were obviously prepared, and it was impossible to send only one birdman.
Uncle Lei and the others are not here, so they must have gone to the north gate, and he must go over to confirm the situation.
"Yes, my master."
The fledgling of the flame was torn into embers, and Sakuya leisurely grabbed the hem of her skirt and said respectfully.
So, Zhou Yao took Eryu to the north gate.
Because the speed gap between the two was a bit big, they finally became two stayers and hugged Zhou Yao in the way of a princess hug.
And in order to arrive at the scene one minute earlier, Zhou Yao could only endure the shame that emerged in his heart and bear it silently.
