Chapter 418: Heavy Rain
Cangfeng Ichimoku ordered people to quickly explore the way, and at the same time arranged a large number of torches to be raised, although the fire was very fierce, but in the end they could only trap themselves in place, and the top priority now was to get out of the swamp as soon as possible, so Cangfeng Ichimoku didn't want to continue to stay and delay time, and ordered Ishihara to lead people to hold torches to threaten the vulture flock hovering in mid-air.
The torches lit up the swamp very brightly, and when these vultures saw that everyone wanted to escape, they all gathered around, but under the threat of torches, they could only hover in the air, waiting for the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, no matter what these vultures became, they were still creatures after all, as long as they were living creatures, they would be afraid of flames, which was the common instinct of all creatures.
But these vultures still refused to disperse for a long time, in mid-air, a pair of red eyes were always staring at everyone, waiting for the opportunity to attack, Ishihara Yue and others used the power of torches to keep a distance from those red-eyed vultures, the two sides were at a stalemate, and the ninjas who were exploring the path in front were still stepping up their efforts to investigate the traps on the ground, and the large group of centaurs followed closely behind them.
Everyone anxiously waited for the pathfinders in front, hoping that they could open up a safe road as soon as possible, but this swamp has been formed for an unknown number of years, which is overgrown with weeds, terrifying soil, and a large number of animal and plant corpses, so the front into the city is never fast enough, and it can't be fast at all, and the team behind is useless no matter how anxious it is, so they can only wait quietly.
At this moment, suddenly dark clouds continued to gather in the sky above the swamp, and the speed of the dark clouds was getting faster and faster, and Cangfeng knew the celestial phenomena at a glance, and he saw that the dark clouds in the sky were gathering at a speed, and his heart began to surge with worry, because he knew that this was a cumulonimbus cloud, and the rain would soon fall, and if he could not leave the swamp as soon as possible, I was afraid that the consequences would be unimaginable.
The ninjas were also aware of the celestial phenomenon, and they all looked at the torches in their hands, these torches were not windproof torches for navigation, if they were blown by wind and rain, they were expected to be extinguished quickly, and once the deterrence of the flames was lost, those red-eyed vultures were estimated to pounce on them soon. At that time, these people will be forced to fight the vultures.
The vultures also seemed to notice the changes in the sky, and those blood-red eyes also looked at the torches in everyone's hands, as if they smelled an opportunity, they began to chirp incessantly, and the large number of vultures gathered again. Dark clouds were gathering over the swamp, black clouds were gradually suppressing, and a heavy rain seemed inevitable.
A flash of lightning in the sky, followed by a thunderclap that resounded throughout the swamp, and just as everyone was looking nervous, the red-eyed vultures in mid-air let out an excited cry, and they circled in flocks of thunder and lightning, as if waiting for the pouring rain to come. Everyone also knew very well that when the heavy rain fell, it was the time when the vultures launched an onslaught.
A gust of wind blew loudly, blowing the fire in everyone's hands couldn't stop swaying, the thin flame seemed to be extinguished at any time, everyone tried their best to block the wind, but this gust of wind still continued to blow through everyone's fingers, constantly hitting the fragile flames, everyone knew very well in their hearts that the extinguishing of the fire was a matter of time, but as long as the sea of fire was burning, those monsters in the sky did not dare to approach a bit.

Suddenly, a hurricane struck, several times more violent than the previous gale, and several torches were blown out by the wind in an instant, and the vultures in the air were even more excited, they roared and began to lower the height of the circle, they instinctively knew that this piece of fire could not hold out in the wind for a long time, and it would not be long before these flames would be extinguished, and at that time, it was the moment when they attacked wantonly, and the smell of blood seemed to spread in the air.
After the strong wind, the torrential rain poured down, and everyone hurriedly covered the torches with clothes, but under the combined effect of the wind and rain, the faint fire on the torches was all extinguished, and the extinguishing of the fire was like a signal, and the vultures in the air quickly hit down, and the vigilant people on the swamp also pulled out their weapons at the first time.
The vultures slammed into the wind and rain as quickly as they wanted to devour everyone on the swamp floor. Just as they were less than thirty feet away from everyone, Ishihara Yue gave an order, and many archers in the team fired longbows and arrows in unison, and in an instant, more than a dozen vultures that swooped down in mid-air were shot down.
However, there were so many vultures that a dozen of them were shot down, which was a drop in the bucket for the vultures, and before the archers could reload a new round of bows and arrows, the red-eyed vultures had already flown in front of everyone. Ishihara Yue gave another order, and all the ninjas sent out hidden weapons to the vultures, and for a while, all kinds of flying knives and kunai hit the vultures, but for these large birds that had gone crazy, it had little effect.
After a round of hidden weapons, the vulture group has completely appeared in front of everyone's eyes, Ishihara Yue pulled out a war knife, aimed at the vulture rushing in front, it was a slash, the vulture was split in half by the war knife, black blood spilled down from the air, everyone followed the example of Ishihara Tsuki, and quickly slashed at the red-eyed vultures.
Constant red-eyed vultures were shot down from mid-air, and the team of ninjas slowly moved forward, while the rear team desperately resisted the frantic vultures. The battle between man and beast has escalated into hand-to-hand combat, and these vultures are not only pecking at the crowd with their beaks, but also grabbing at the ninja ranks with their sharp claws.
These ninjas are equipped with sophisticated protective gear, and the refined steel protective gear is caught by these vultures and makes a screeching sound, and soon deep scratches appear on the surface of the protective gear, which shows how powerful these vultures' claws are, if it is a person who is scratched, then the whole arm may not be saved. Several ninjas holding up the shield were at the front, using their wide shields to cover their companions' bodies as much as possible, while some used spears to attack the vultures through the gaps in the shields.
Ishihara Yue and the others are also experienced ninjas, and they quickly woke up from the initial chaos, although the attack of the red-eyed vulture is fierce, but after all, it is a beast, although it is fierce, there is still no discipline.
