Chapter 363: People die for money, birds die for food
The team set off again and began to climb the snow-capped mountains.
For professionals, snow-capped mountains of this height are actually nothing.
What's more, there is a road that can be traveled safely.
So the team moved very quickly.
Half an hour later, the team reached the halfway point of the mountain. As the altitude increased, the temperature dropped a lot.
The cold wind seemed even more fierce.
There is basically nothing to see around except the vast white snow.
"ah!!"
A scream was heard from behind the crowd who were climbing the mountain.
Everyone suddenly looked back.
We have experienced so many things today that even the smallest movement can make everyone nervous.
"What's going on? What happened again?"
No one saw anything at all, but the scream just now was real.
"There is... there is a monster, and it's very fast!"
Someone pointed to the sky with a trembling voice.
"That person was caught up to the sky in an instant!"
Hearing this, everyone looked up at the sky.
A black dot was getting farther and farther away from them until it disappeared.
After a while, a few drops of bright red blood floated down from the sky, falling on the white snow by the roadside and dotted a few plum blossoms.
No one expected to encounter so many monsters on the second day, and the methods of each monster seemed very strange.
The person who was captured is definitely in great danger.
"Be careful with your heads and keep going!"
The team's progress was much slower as a result. With every step they took, everyone had to look up from time to time to prevent sudden attacks from monsters.
I don’t know if there were not many monsters or for some other reason, but when the team was almost at the top of the mountain, they didn’t encounter another monster attacking anyone.
Just when everyone was feeling relieved that only one person had died and everyone was safe, dozens of shrill screams piercing the air were heard from the sky.
I saw dozens of black spots flying towards the crowd from the horizon quickly.
"Fuck, I thought it was gone, but it turned out to have gone back to call for help!"
"They're treating us like a buffet!"
Everyone realized that it must be because the first monster caught people too easily, making these monsters think that the humans in front of them were easy to bully.
Now we have called so many helpers to prepare for a big feast.
"Everyone prepare to fight!"
A Biao frowned as he looked at these monsters flying towards him quickly.
When they got closer, everyone could see clearly that these monsters were like eagles, with a pair of hooked iron claws and beaks shining with metallic luster.
There are two pairs of wings on its back flapping rapidly.
Each monster, with its four wings spread out, is at least ten meters long.
This is absolutely huge for humans.
And it seems that their IQ is not low. When they see humans are on guard, they don't swoop down to attack immediately, but circle and call in the high altitude.
It seems like they are discussing some tactics.
After a while, all the strange birds dispersed and disappeared above everyone's heads.
"Huh? What happened? Are they scared and running away?"
Everyone looked at the sky in confusion.
"Don't take it lightly. They can't retreat so easily."
As the commander of the team, A Biao obviously considers more.
With Su Ren by Modkaiser's side, he doesn't have to worry about his boss's safety. All he has to do is ensure that more people in the team can survive.
Sure enough, as soon as A Biao finished speaking, the strange birds that had just disappeared flew back again, and each of them seemed to be holding a huge object in its iron claws. Judging from the shape, it was much larger than their bodies.
"It's rocks. They caught a lot of rocks!"
"They want to crush us to death!"
No one knew where this group of strange birds caught so many huge rocks. After flying over the crowd, dozens of rocks several dozen meters in size fell from the sky.
Seeing the boulder roaring towards them, everyone wanted to dodge, but they found that this road was only wide enough for two people to walk side by side, and there were cliffs on both sides, so they had no room to move.
"ah!!"
Someone was squeezed and fell off the cliff, disappearing from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.
"Stop pushing, I'm going to fall!"
Seeing this, A Biao roared:
"Don't run around, defend where you are!"
If he didn't speak up to stop everyone from escaping, there was no telling how many people would be pushed off the cliff.
But it was a little too late, as several more people were squeezed and fell down.
Without flying skills, even if you don’t die after falling, you will be seriously injured.
It is even more impossible for anyone to rescue them.
So, there is no difference between falling down and dying on the spot.
"Bang!!"
The first boulder came crashing down upon the crowd.
If an ordinary person was hit by this, he would probably be turned into a meat patty immediately.
Fortunately, the professionals have equipment and defensive skills, so they can barely resist.
But some people were injured.
As the first boulder fell, dozens of subsequent boulders followed.
Several more screams were heard from the crowd.
But this is just the beginning. The real danger is not these huge rocks, but the strange birds lurking in the sky.
Almost the moment the boulder fell, they launched their attack.
Dozens of strange birds swooped down towards the crowd at an extremely fast speed.
The people who were still dealing with the huge rock were caught off guard and more than a dozen people were captured.
"You beast, you're looking for death!"
Zhou Changzheng was the first to take action, punching a strange bird from mid-air.
The powerful force directly pierced through the body of the strange bird.
The strange bird just flapped its wings a few times and then fell off the cliff.
Several other 8 turns also took action one after another.
However, after the strange bird realized something was wrong, it used its speed advantage to quickly dodge.
They are fast, but their only means of attack is a pair of iron claws.
His strength also seems limited, and he poses no threat to the 8th-level professionals.
These strange birds were not stupid either. After returning to the air and circling once, they leaned over and flew down the cliff.
A lot of people fell down there just now. This is much safer than capturing living people directly.
After paying the price of eight or nine lives, these strange birds captured one person each and left.
After A Biao counted the number of people, his face did not look very good.
This time the loss was even greater than that in the lake.
A total of forty-seven people died.
Most of them died by falling off the cliff.
Some were captured, while others were crushed to death by huge rocks.
Not only did so many people die, but more than a dozen people in the crowd were seriously injured.
After Ah Biao finished reporting to Modkaiser, Modkaiser simply said:
“People die for money, birds die for food.”
"There's nothing to be sad about. Keep going and don't let these little things delay your progress."
Looking at his boss's indifferent expression, A Biao couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
If one day I become a discarded pawn and sacrificed for his purpose, I wonder if my boss will be sad for me even for a moment?
At this moment in the team, a gloomy mood hung over everyone's heart.
Seeing that there were fewer and fewer companions around them, many people actually regretted coming to this snowy field.
However, they have no way out, and their only hope is that they will not be the ones to die next time.
I hope I am lucky and can walk out of this snowfield alive.
