Ashley and Wei Wuji could not figure out how Yao Lin would hunt the giant bird, so Wuji asked quietly: ”Brother, some of us know what we can't do, but I know a little, but why can't I think of how you can catch the bird? Do you want to kill it with your bare hands? ”
Yao Yin bitterly smiled and said, ”If it can be like this, then that's good. However, I estimate that it will be very difficult.” Legend has it that the Garuda from the legends was a Divine Bird. They were huge in size and possessed astonishing strength. Furthermore, they had once been blessed by Vishnu. Their physical bodies would not be harmed by any weapon. Although this is just an exaggerated myth, it also shows how fierce and powerful the real Garuda Bird is. ”
Xu Er said with a smile: ”Third brother, look at me. Do you remember when we were imprisoned in the park by the dog-headed woman? Wasn't it due to the iron wire on my body that opened the lock? Don't worry, not to mention a metal wire, even a dagger can help you hide inside a chrysanthemum. It's just that you'll have to suffer a little from it, hehehe. ”
Yao Ling glared at him and scolded, ”Do you think these black skins are that easy to fool? Since he has made the cut, he should be prepared for us hiding in his shxt. When the time comes, he will definitely check for us. Forget it, I have my own ways. You don't have to worry. ”
That night, Mae arranged for them to rest for the night. The next morning, Yao Yun had eaten and drank to his heart's content. He called for Chen Sha Sheng and Mae to confirm the rules. As long as they could pass the inspection and reach the ancestral mountain, they could accomplish their goal by any means.
After confirming this point, Mae led the way to the Sacred Mountain.
They climbed to the top of the hill, and when they were still some distance from the cemetery, Mae asked Yao to remove all her clothes and then had them inspected by a native who was responsible for guarding the cemetery.
Yao Ling's previous estimation was not wrong. These people had examined them in great detail, not even sparing the anus. Only after they confirmed that Yao was indeed not carrying anything did they allow him to pass through, allowing the High Priest to lead him through the remaining steps.
This burial site was built on a rock that extended outward from the summit of the divine mountain. It covered an area of several hundred square meters and was paved with flat stone bricks. The ashes after cremation were all buried underneath.
In one corner of the grave platform stood a square stone block with a large basin shaped groove cut into it. The round glassware inside was filled with brown whale oil, which was used as a signal to attract the nearby sea crows to eat.
After carefully observing his surroundings, Yao Lin sat quietly on the ground, pondering over and over the plan that he had thought of beforehand.
He felt that the chances of success were high, but he would definitely have to pay a great price, even his life.
After calming down his thoughts, he smiled and gave himself a little bit of encouragement and courage. Then, he stood up, trying his best to suppress the indescribable excitement and fear in his heart as he poured out the blubber.
The High Priest walked over and lit it up, letting the flame burn with a strange smell. The High Priest then left in a hurry after saying a large number of words of blessings to Yao Ling, who then lay down on the stone floor, waiting for the arrival of the Garuda Bird.
As a hunter, Yao Ning had experienced many times waiting. She had even used herself as bait to attract prey to her team. However, he had never felt so tormented and apprehensive like today. The unease in his heart and the mountain breeze caused goosebumps to form all over his body. In his heart, he felt as if he was regretting his impulsive decision.
But a distant caw of sea crows brought his thoughts back to reality, and the honor of the besiegers, the desire to avenge the old donkey, and the promise of Ashley's great hope, all made him want to get away. These complex feelings and thoughts were like chains that held him in place on the catacombs.
It had been a long time since these birds had received a signal to feed them. Previously, they weren't this cautious, but the unique appearance and smell of Yao Lin, which was different from that of the past, caused them to hesitate. These intelligent sea crows realized that something was amiss today.
However, as more and more of their companions gathered, these seaside rogue birds became more and more daring. When they had enough of themselves, even if they were alive, they could still be targeted.
A few of the bravest sea crows had already landed on the ground not far from Yao Ling. Since they couldn't find the food that the sacrifices had fed them in the past, they hopped around and tried to get close to Yao Ling who was lying on the ground. They seemed to be preparing to treat this person as a fresh meal.
He anxiously stared at the distant sky. Pain and death could not scare him away, but this unprecedented, tormenting waiting made his patience rapidly disappear. He prayed for Garuda to quickly appear and end the belated battle with him.
Suddenly, a familiar caw sounded out in the sky. The densely-packed sea crows immediately scattered in all directions as if they had been hit by an invisible cannon. The Sea Crows that had just gotten close to Yao Ling wanted to run away when they saw the situation turn bad, but they weren't on guard. Yao Ling suddenly reached out and grabbed two of the Sea Crows tightly.
It's here! Yao Yun suppressed the excitement in her heart. This kind of strange laughter was something she had heard on Bird Viewing Island back then. It seemed that the strange bird that disturbed the people's burial was really a Caritas!
His heart, on the other hand, had somewhat calmed down. He adjusted his breathing, trying his best to slow down his heartbeat. At the same time, he exerted strength in his hands, causing the two Sea Crows to let out waves of painful and despairing cries.
In the distant sky, a large black bird was flying like a bomber on a strategic cruise, chasing away the scattered sea crows that hadn't flown far yet. However, it was soon attracted by the screams of the two sea crows that Yao Ling was clutching in his hands.
Due to the size of the bird, even if Yao Ling were to lie flat on her back facing the sky, she would still be able to see its appearance. Before this, he had imagined countless times, what kind of creature would be the true face of the Garuda Bird? However, what he saw today was still beyond his imagination. He never expected that such a legendary bird that existed in all the countries of South and South-East Asia would actually be so ugly.
