35 Blocked by a Flock of Geese (1/2)

Lin Huang was tossing and turning the night before. Perhaps it was the tea that kept him awake.

The next day, it was nine o'clock in the morning when he woke up.

Lin Huang tidied up his things and ate breakfast. He then summoned Bai and continued with their journey.

Xue Luo healed the broken Life Wheel. Lin Huang could feel the speed of lifespan loss significantly reduced and there was also a certain degree of improvement in his physique as well.

Taking into account the improvement from his ‘Robust’ skill, Lin Huang felt that his physique was no longer weaker than other Reserve Hunters on iron-level.

He was able to move a much faster speed than before.

Within four hours, he had reached the height of 700 meters, which was 5,500 meters above sea level.

Just before Lin Huang was able to take a rest, a flock of white big birds flew in their direction.

Lin Huang could recognize them from far away; they were the White Feathered Goose. They were also a type of mutant. They would hunt for fishes as their main sources of food and would never provoke creatures bigger in size. However, they were not afraid of humans.

Under normal circumstances, Lin Huang would have brushed their presence aside but because Xue Luo had told them to be careful, his guard was up.

The White Feathered Goose was huge. It was around five meters wide when they expanded their wings. They were strong enough to snatch humans with their claws. They were probably controlled by the transcendant monster Xue Luo talked about, the monster that manipulated their minds to hunt for food.

”Bai! Quickly, dig a hole!” Lin Huang shouted.

The flock of geese approaching them looked furious. He had to get himself a safe shelter. They were at a height around 5,000 meters above sea level but Lin Huang did not have wings to jump anywhere and if he lost balance and fell, he would most certainly die.

As soon as Bai dug out a cave, Lin Huang stretched out his left hand to hang over the cliff while he held his GrayEagle17 in his right hand. He turned his body to attack the geese when they came close to him.

Most of the White Feathered Goose were iron-level monsters. The specially made bullets for the GrayEagle17 only had an impact on their feathers. It failed to penetrate through to their bodies.

After several shots, some of the White Feathered Goose groaned in pain but realized that the bullets could not injure them and so, they pounced on Lin Huang again.

Bai already went into the hole but it was still a few meters away from Lin Huang. The hole was not deep and Bai could not dig any further.

A few from the flock of White Feathered Goose fluttered their wings, getting into a position to catch Lin Huang. Lin Huang had nowhere to dodge and he watched helplessly as the claws emerged from their feet as they grabbed him.

At that moment, blood splashed in the air. The White Feathered Goose that grabbed him had its head chopped in half, rolling over the cliff.

Lin Huang felt something grabbing onto his waist tightly. As he looked down, he saw Bai’s Blood Power layer pulling him toward the hole.

Lin Huang tried to free himself but chose to trust Bai instead. He released his left hand which he used to hang from the cliff when he shot at the geese. As soon as he released his hand, he felt a strong force dragging him back into the cave.
