117. Chapter Thirty-Seven: Human-faced Eagle
The owl flapping its wings above me, and it was indeed the owl just now, but the owl looked so weird!
When I was a child, I saw owls in the mountain village. The general owl has a large and wide head, a short mouth, and a slightly curved front end. In addition, the whole body and part of the owl, and the part of the face are covered by lush hard feathers. But the owl above my head is completely different.
Under the strong light, I saw that the owl above my head had no feathers on its face, only bronze skin like a human face! Not only that, the owl also had problems with its eyes.
Generally, owls have big and round eyes, and their pupils are mostly brown and blue. However, the owl's eyes are neither round nor big. They look like Fang Xiang's pair of phoenix eyes. When it stares at me, the green pupil color flashes in its eyes.
I took a deep breath and a terrible thought appeared in my mind.
This owl is definitely not that simple. Its face looks like a human face. How can it look like an owl?
"Silly, come up quickly, there is something wrong with that thing!" Fang Yao's shout suddenly came from above his head.
I looked up and wanted to see Fang Xiang, but I saw the owl hovering above my head suddenly flying towards me.
The flashlight shone on the owl's eyes, and I saw its eyes showing human cunning and insidiousness.
I didn't have time to think so much, so I kicked my feet hard towards the mountain wall, and immediately raised my body backwards, just avoiding the attack of the owl.
At the same time, I pulled out the Nepalese saber tied to my calves and stared at the owl that was stopping in the air not far away.
"Pull me up!" I shouted to the top of my head. In this situation, I definitely couldn't climb up by myself, so I could only let Fang Xiang and the others pull me up.
Recalling the corpse rat and the sudden appearance of fake paper-piercing people, I thought of a problem.
This owl was probably witchcrafted by someone. The reason why he suddenly attacked me was that someone gave instructions or controlled it.
Before I could figure it out, the owl rushed towards me again, and his mouth bent at the front end kept squirming. It seemed that this thing wanted to bite me.
I kicked the mountain wall hard again, trying to use the force to fly back and avoid the attack. At the same time, the saber in my hand was raised by me and slashed hard at the owl.
Judging from the sharpness of the saber, if the owl is injured, the owl will probably not be able to fly.
But what I completely unexpected was that before my saber hit the owl, the owl suddenly changed direction in mid-air and pecked straight towards the flashlight in my left hand.
I cursed, and the owl became a spirit. It seemed that attacked me in the face just now, but it was actually just a fake move. Its real intention was to throw away the flashlight in my hand.
In this way, I could not see anything in this night sky, but the owl was different.
Before I could react, a stinging pain suddenly came from my left hand. I screamed, and the left hand that was holding the flashlight could not help but let go. The flashlight fell straight down and landed on the ground with a bang, without any reaction.
I have no soul, so I don't bleed. I don't need to care about anything except the heart-wrenching pain.
However, my situation is worse now. I can't see anything without the flashlight, but the owl is different. It is like daylight in the night, clearly able to see anything.
I held the saber with my other hand, gritting my teeth and paying attention to the surroundings.
At the same time, I felt that my body was constantly facing upwards, and it was probably Fang Xiang and the others who were pulling me up.
Suddenly, I felt a sharp sound of wind coming from behind. I didn't even think about turning around and slashing the saber in my hand back.
With a thrust, I noticed that a few feathers fell on my hand, and I didn't hear any other sounds, which means that my blow did not hurt the owl, and I just crossed out a few feathers.
I held my breath and listened to the sounds coming from all directions with my ears, trying to use my voice to argue.
After listening for a while, I frowned slightly and found that there was not much noise around me, only a "squeak" sound came from above my head.
After a while, I suddenly glared and felt something was wrong.
I thought the "squeak" sound just now was the sound of Fang Xiang rubbing when pulling the rope, but now it's a bit impossible.
At this moment, a strong light suddenly shot out from the sky. The strong light was a little dazzling. I squinted my eyes and looked up and was shocked.
The strong light was emitted by the flashlight in Changsheng's hand. What shocked me was that I saw the owl gnawing on the mountaineering rope about one meter above my head!
"Damn it, come on the conversation!" In desperation, I stretched out my arms and used a saber to reach the owl several times, but I couldn't reach the owl's body. The owl really became a spirit, completely ignored it, and was chewing on the rope wholeheartedly.
There was no way, I had to shout loudly.
Fang Xiang quickly stretched out his head from the cliff above. When he saw the owl gnawing on the mountaineering rope, he was also startled. While shouting loudly, he asked me to hold on, he was spinning around in a hurry, probably thinking of a solution.
I almost vomited blood. I used to see Fang Yao that bastard was so smart, but why was he so stupid at this time?
I reminded him loudly: Smash this thing with a stone!
As soon as I reminded him, Fang Xiang suddenly woke up. He searched on the top of the mountain for a while, and kept throwing it at the owl that was gnawing on the mountain rope.
Lan Xiaoqi and Changsheng also joined the battle with stones, but their accuracy was a little problem, and most of the stones hit me.
I used the saber in my hand to block a few stones, and my body hurt a little when they smashed it.
However, at this time, all my thoughts were on the owl. Fang Xiang's stone did hit the owl, but the owl was completely unmoved and was determined to gnaw on the hiking rope.
I smiled bitterly and said to myself, will I be the one who is Ninglang, be the one who is going to be ended by an owl?
Not long after I remembered the idea, I saw the owl suddenly flapping its wings and flying up, no longer gnawing at the mountaineering rope.
I was stunned, and looked at the rope with the help of the flashlight on it, and I immediately understood.
The rope is completely considered to be the last of the strength, with only a few ropes remaining to support it. I think as long as I move a little, or pull the person on it slightly, the rope will be completely broken, and I will fall straight down.
The purpose was to achieve the goal. The owl was not attacking me. He circled and flew around in the air for a few times. His green eyes looked at me with a playful look and then flew away.
I was so angry that I cursed in my heart that I wanted to throw the saber in my hand towards the owl, but I was afraid that the rope would suddenly break, so I had to give up.
"Don't fucking!" Fang Xiang above suddenly shouted.
I widened my eyes, moved my body, and watched the ropes break one by one, and finally my body fell quickly.
"Damn it!" Fang Xiang cursed and jumped directly under the cliff.
I didn't see Fang Yao's actions because I had closed my eyes in despair.
Suddenly, my body paused suddenly, my hands fumbled for a while, and found that I was still stuck in the air!
I immediately opened my eyes and looked up, and found that Fang Xiang was holding the broken rope with one hand and the broken rope with the other hand.
"Look at you, come up quickly, I won't last long." Fang Xiang lowered his head, his face pale, the blue veins on his arms stormed at me.
I looked happy and knew that I would not die this time. I quickly stared at the mountain wall with my feet while climbing. The other party wanted to give me a thumbs up and said: You are still fucking good.
"Cao, come up quickly, I can't hold on anymore." Fang Xiang smiled bitterly and wrapped the rope around his arm.
Jiang Bo and Lan Xiaoqi on the top of the mountain were also pulling another rope that Fang Xiang was holding. With my force, we both climbed to the top of the mountain again not long after.
Lying on the grass on the top of the mountain, Fang Xiang and I were panting heavily. When we recalled the experience just now, we really felt like we were a different life.
If Fang Xiang hadn't jumped down and grabbed both ends of the rope, I might not have been able to lie here now, but lie on the ground.
Thinking of this, I looked at Fang Xiang with some gratitude. I wanted to say thank you, but then I thought it was a bit pretentious, so I didn't say anything.
After resting for a while, I came to my senses and asked me quickly if they knew what kind of monster the owl was.
When I think of the owl, I was so angry that my teeth were itchy. I thought that one day I would beat the thing down and roast it for eating.
Jiang Bo shook his head and said that he had never seen that thing before, and Fang Xiang said he didn't know what it was.
In the end, all of us were focused on Gui Qi.
Gui Qi pondered for a while and said: The owl was called the Soul Burial Eagle, and was cultivated by people using evil techniques, but most people call it a human-faced eagle. I don’t know much about how it was cultivated. Rumors say that it was extracted from the souls of a baby that was just born and attached to the body of the owl. In this way, the owl can obey human commands and communicate with human nature. The night is like daytime, roaming the sky.
The three of us looked at each other, with anger indescribable in our eyes.
Apart from the instructions of the owl behind me to harm me, I am more disgusted with this kind of evil magic.
Immediately afterwards, I began to think secretly about who was secretly trying to kill my life?
It's the second time I remembered that I was shot with a dart.
Looking down at the cliff, my pupils suddenly contracted.
No! This person’s real intention was not to kill me, but to want me to fall from here.
To be precise, I don’t want me to go to the underworld.
If I fall down at a height of more than 20 meters, I will definitely not die. It is inevitable that my legs and arms will be broken. In this way, we will delay our journey and may even turn back.
With the fake paper-tie man, it's the second time now. I vaguely feel that the black hands behind me must be more than one pair, maybe two pairs.
One person wanted me to go to the underworld, and another person wanted to stop me from going to the underworld.
Who is right? Who is wrong?
The vortex is getting bigger and bigger, and I am still silent at the bottom of the lake.
