”So our next stop will be Coober Pedy, get comfy, it'll be a really long trip, especially since we'll have to take it slow even on the straight roads,” Chloe said.
Everyone nodded before getting out a few things, they took some pillows and blankets from Marla Traveller's Rest, of course with Dylan's permission.
The trip was as gruesome and boring as they expected. The beast corpses have probably had a day or two since they died, causing the stench to be unbearable, not to mention the scene it caused. Half ate corpses, some torn to bits and others with little bite marks.
Grabbing the phone Adam quickly checked how long it had been. Looking at the time he noticed it's been 2 – 3 hours and looking at the maps they were only halfway there.
*Flap*Flap*Caw*
Looking outside the window everyone could see a massive bird flying above them, one they hadn't seen before, one that looked dangerous. It was mainly blue, with the tips of the feathers coloured white. They couldn't see exactly how large the bird was, unsure how far it from them.
The bird spotted them before they could prepare their beasts the bird pierced through the air, breaking the sound barrier in an instant and appearing before them in an instant. Taking a closer look the bird appeared to have the wingspan of 20 metres, while its body was roughly 5 – 10 metres wide. From the beak to tail feathers was about 10 metres, it had large razor-sharp black talons.
Putting its talons first the bird ripped into the roof of the car, it quickly sounded as if someone had scratched their nails on a blackboard, giving everyone a quick shiver.
”Summon Fa- ”
”Stop!” Before Dylan could summon his beast, Alfredo had already stopped him from finishing his incantation.
Dylan looked a bit annoyed and frustrated at being stopped, but before he could complain Alfredo explained his actions, ”You could almost have killed us Dylan! Look out your window”.
Everyone looked outside and reeled back, they had realised they were probably 30 – 40 metres in the air and the height was still rising. Seeing that everyone realised what's happening Alfredo continued explaining, ”We aren't sure exactly how the bird will react to being attacked. Will it drop us? Causing us to plummet to our deaths. Or will it slowly descend as the poison slowly kills it? Not sure and I don't want to take any risk, so, be patient and we'll deal with it when it does put us back down”.
Looking at the massive bird outside Lachlan quickly analysed it.

Looking at the level Lachlan quickly realised it wasn't as high as he thought. But, while its level wasn't extremely high its natural stats were incredibly high, especially since it didn't have a master, well at least that's what they think.
