Chapter 264: The Red Vulture

After successfully obtaining the golden branches, Qiushui did not leave immediately, but continued to wander in the heart of the island, hoping to make new discoveries. The whole island www.biquge.info shape like a disk, the perimeter is covered with lush vegetation, and the inner part is a sunken basin, with a ring of low shrubs as the dividing line.

The autumn water is now located next to a stream on the edge of the basin. The water here comes mainly from rainfall, and the concentration of salt is much smaller than that of the ocean, so you can drink it with confidence. I saw him fall to his knees on the soft grass and bury his whole head in the stream, enjoying the gifts of nature to the fullest. Beside him was a long-legged egret that was drinking with him, and from time to time it let out a few cheerful chirps.

"Whew...... I don't know what happened to Zhu Jue and them. Qiushui raised his head, wiped his face with his sleeve, and muttered to himself. Looking at the gurgling water in front of him, there were a few red carp swimming around, he wanted to reach out and fish one for today's dinner, but for some reason, he couldn't bear it, and finally had to give up.

At this moment, the fish seemed to have encountered something terrible, and they sprang into the distance, and the long-legged herons, as if frightened, hurried into the jungle. Qiushui was stunned for a moment, then turned around and found a huge red bird, swooping down from the sky, stretching out two sharp claws, and speeding towards him. The red bird was very fast, and although Qiushui dodged its attack in time, it was still overturned by the wind and suddenly fell into the stream.

He scrambled out of the water, and before he could catch his breath, he noticed the red bird spinning in the sky and coming towards him again. This time, he finally saw the uninvited guest, a bird of prey called the red vulture, covered with fiery red feathers, except for a yellowish belly. It is very large, with wings spread up to five meters, a long neck, and a curved beak like an iron hook that can instantly slit the throat of an enemy.

Qiushui didn't give the red vulture another chance, only to see him jump up and step directly on the red vulture's back. What seemed like a gentle kick was actually a powerful subtle force, and the red vulture let out a hoarse cry in its throat, then landed on the ground, rolled several times in a row, and finally crashed into a tree. The trunk of the tree trembled slightly, and a dead leaf fell from the ground.

Qiushui thought that this was the end of the matter, so he turned and left. Who knew that the red vulture seemed to have been hit by evil, and even if he was injured, he still refused to let him go. By the time he could react, Qiushui had been thrown to the ground by the red vulture's massive body, and in the face of the sharp claws like knives, he could only shake his head one after another, barely dodging it.

"Another guy who is not afraid of death!" Qiu Shui snorted coldly, and suddenly turned sideways, holding the red vulture's beak tightly with both hands, and then threw it out with all his might. This time, the red vulture smashed directly into a convex rock, and its feathers scattered like a burning fire. Seeing that it was no match for the autumn water, the red vulture let out an angry chirp, then flapped its wings and fled into the distance. Qiushui didn't chase it, just dusted off the weeds on his body, and then walked forward.

On the red cliff, there is a huge figure walking on the desolate gravel at this moment. If you take a closer look, it is the one who failed to sneak attack Yun Ze, only to see that it has a hideous face, and it is a little lame when walking, and it seems that it has suffered a lot in the short encounter just now. Naturally, it didn't realize that a hundred meters away from the rear, Yun Ze was quietly following. As I walked, the surrounding hills and rocks became denser and denser, and some weeds appeared on the originally barren land. There is a faint sound of water flowing in my ears, and I can vaguely see an oasis in the distance.

They are large carnivores that are known for their stamina, but are unable to survive in extreme food shortages. Since there is a prickly appearance here, it must mean that there is a rich place around, which Yun Ze has long expected. However, instead of stepping straight into the oasis, as he had imagined, he suddenly turned around and headed towards the west about three or four miles away. Yun Ze only hesitated, and then quickly followed.

After walking for another half hour, he finally entered a cave. The cave is located at the bottom of a certain wind-eroded mushroom, and the entrance of the cave is hidden by dense weeds more than half a person high, which is extremely inconspicuous, and if it were not for Yun Ze following all the way, it would definitely not be possible to find the strange here. Seeing the figure disappear from sight, Yun Ze also cautiously followed, he faintly felt that there was something terrible ahead, and he was quietly waiting for himself to discover.

In stark contrast to the narrowness of the cave entrance, the space inside is large, the air has a hint of damp musty smell, and the top is covered with upside-down stalactites, and from time to time water droplets drip from the tip of the stone and fall to the ground, making a "pop" sound. The light in the cave was dim, and he could only see the distance of ten paces, and Yun Ze looked around from time to time, holding the folding fan tightly in his hand, guarding against possible danger. Since entering the cave, the sly has disappeared, which makes Yun Ze have to wonder if there are other forks in the road here, but he didn't notice it.

"This is ......" Walking and walking, Yun Ze suddenly found something under his feet, squatted down and took a look, it turned out to be two stone pillars with a diameter of about one meter, which were full of traces of corrosion, judging from the dense cracks, it seemed that they had existed for a long time. He tried to reach out and gently touch the surface of the stone pillar, only to feel smooth and warm, and now his heart has a bottom. This is white milkstone, which is a precious material, which can not rot for 10,000 years in an extremely humid environment. According to Emperor Yu, this space was built by the ancestor of the country, Yushi, and it is only 5,000 years old, why does it corrode into this way?

Yun Ze frowned, thinking carefully, but he didn't notice that a dark shadow was slowly approaching behind him.

At this moment, Autumn Water has truly arrived in the heart of the island, which is like an ancient tropical rainforest, surrounded by all kinds of colorful plants, which are so large that they are far larger than Autumn Water. Shuttling through it, Qiushui suddenly had a strange feeling, as if it was not that the flowers here were particularly large, but that he had inadvertently become smaller. Once this idea is born, it is like a fire that is unstoppable. And after careful observation of the autumn water, although the vegetation here is lush, the number of animals is far less than that of the outer part of the island, and only a few flying insects occasionally fly in front of you and make buzzing sounds.

"Forget it, let's go back, I already have golden branches and leaves anyway. Qiushui gently touched the package behind him with his hand, and then turned around to leave. At this time, a rustling sound sounded in my ears, as if something was rapidly attacking me!
