Chapter 99 The Vampire Eagles (1/2)

At this moment, loud noises were coming from beneath the peak. Countless strange birds were shrieking and flying out from the woods and up into the air. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a dark mass as if a hornet's nest had been stabbed. These birds were not as small as hornets. They were as large as eagles and had fiery red wings.

The creepy thing was that their heads were not bird heads but human heads. They were extremely ugly, with eyes, noses, and mouths like those of humans. When they opened their mouths to shriek, they revealed rows of sharp, ill-looking fangs. Their voices were harsh and unpleasant, sometimes like the cries of infants, sometimes like the screams of female ghosts, sometimes like the maniacal laughter of madmen.

As a result, the crying, shrieking, and maniacal laughter blended in the air, one after another, like a gathering of evil ghosts. If one heard them, he would feel his back and spine was chilly, and fears uncontrollably grew in his heart, as if he got an electric shock which transited his entire body instantly.

What the hell were they?

Qin Hao saw the most among the three of them because his eyesight was more than that of an ordinary person. What he saw made him feel a chill from his spine. Luckily, he was a Martial Cultivator, and he had excellent skills and guts; hence he didn't reveal panic expression and didn't turn to pale as the baldy and Ayte did.

He was curious now. When they came up from that place earlier, they had not seen these disgusting creatures, nor had they disturbed them. How come they suddenly run out?

”The Vampire Eagles! They're coming towards us! Run! ” Ayte yelled wildly. He was originally lying on the ground like a half-dead man, and he got the strength somehow, rolled to his feet and jumped up. ”Swoosh,” he rushed past Qin Hao, disappearing into the forest. Damn, he ran faster than a rabbit and didn't look like someone exhausted at all.

Seeing that Ayte had run away, the baldy crawled up in fear and was about to follow him into the forest. After running for a distance, seeing that Qin Hao did not move, he turned back and asked: ”Brother Qin, those things are dangerous. We'd better hide for a while.”

Qin Hao stared at the Vampire Eagles Ayte mentioned in the distance and calmly replied, ”You guys go to hide first.”

”Eh.” The baldy hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he did not follow Ayte's footsteps. He pulled out a dagger from one of his shoes, turned around and walked to the side of Qin Hao, carefully staring at these Vampire Eagles.

Qin Hao turned his head and glanced at the baldy, feeling a little surprised. In his mind, he got a different feeling towards the baldy who did not abandon his companion at the critical moment. With this lofty sentiment, Qin Hao felt that the baldy was worth befriending. Wasn't his previous guard and suspicions towards him a little superfluous?

”Wa! Wa! Wa! Wa!”

Suddenly, the largest eagle let out strange cries that echoed through the skies. The cries were like the wails of humans, and it was unknown what it was wailing about.

Along with its wails, other Vampire Eagles flapped their wings, wailing and crying one after another, which made a loud sound. At this moment, all the sounds from the entire island were being swallowed by the wailing, except human's cries, which was sorrowful and caused one to share tears. If someone who didn't understand what was going on heard the cries, he would think that hundreds of people were wailing at a funeral on this island.

”Brother Qin, they're coming on our way.” The baldy looked at those disgusting, strange birds. They flew into the air in the wailing of the largest strange bird as if they were suddenly summoned. Then, that huge strange bird, followed by a large black mass of birds pounced towards them. There were at least hundreds of them.

Wherever they went, they covered the sky like dark clouds. All the wild beasts in the forest below were frightened and scattered in all directions.

The baldy raised his head and looked at those Vampire Eagles who were coming closer and closer. His face turned into more and paler. Earlier there was a long distance away from them, and his eyesight was limited to see very clearly. As the distance between them was shortened, the vicious and disgusting faces of these Vampire Eagles gradually became more explicit in his eyes. At this moment, he honestly felt fear and chill.

”Qin, Brother Qin, we … we …” His voice was trembling, his legs began to shake, and he tightened the dagger grasped in his hand.

”Don't worry. They're not coming for us.” Qin Hao was remarkably calm as if he had seen through the thoughts of those strange birds.

Indeed, with ”hula” sounds, hundreds of Vampire Eagles flew over the heads of Qin Hao and the baldy and pounced towards the other side of the mountain.

However, there were a few Vampire Eagles that couldn't stand the temptation of Qin Hao and the baldy. They screeched and ran away from the group, diving down towards Qin Hao and the baldy. Meanwhile, the main group of strange birds continued to fly towards the other side of the mountain.

”Be careful, Brother Qin. They're coming towards us.” The baldy shouted and raised his dagger. However, Ayte's screaming rang out behind him. That fellow was hiding behind a big tree in the forest, looking at this direction all the time.

”No, don't use a knife. They will get crazier when they see the blood.” In a moment of desperation, Ayte spoke in his mother tongue.

Hearing Ayte's shout, Qin Hao turned around and glanced at him. He didn't expect that Ayte didn't run far away.

”Cluck, cluck, cluck.”

As soon as Ayte's voice faded, a few Vampire Eagles rang out laughter like women's screaming and pounced towards them in excitement. Their ugly and big mouths opened, revealing the disgusting yellow fangs. They flapped their broad wings and rolled up a fierce hurricane, causing the grass and woods on the ground to twist and distort.

”Ah!” To boost his courage, the baldy let out a furious roar. At this moment, he didn't care about Ayte's reminder. He raised his dagger and slashed at the head of a Vampiric Eagle who was dashing to them.
