Dark Blood Path

Chapter 33: The Giant Eagles

Xiao Yu stood up with a serious expression on his face and said calmly, Dont panic; explain what happened clearly.

Jin Shi swallowed his saliva, took another deep breath and said: A party of three of our people was established at the time to monitor the surrounding area; they finally headed west, where the accident occurred. They were attacked, and two were killed while one got injured. According to the person who escaped back, the attacker was Wang Yunfei!

Jiang Xiaowen exclaimed, He actually came back to life!

Wait. Xiao Yu said calmly, It is too early to draw any conclusions. There are several ways of reviving the dead, after all. Some exceptionally rare and valuable magic items, for example, have the ability to postpone death or even revive the dead. However, these precious artifacts are mythical treasures that can never appear in this forest. It is also possible to become an undead, but turning into one of the undead tribe requires a special opportunity and a unique environment, and it takes a long amount of time to transform. This place obviously does not meet those conditions.

Han Kexin thought for a while and asked in confusion, Since neither of the two situations is viable, what is the real reason?

Xiao Yu cast his eyes on Jin Shi and asked, Did Wang Yunfei have any particular traits or changes when he appeared?

Jin Shi nodded his head, Yes, according to the statement of the one who fled, Wang Yunfeis appearance has changed significantly, and a large portion of his body has been deformed and alienated. His speed rose exponentially, and those two victims were almost instantly taken down.

Xiao Yu frowned and paused for a minute before responding: I believe he is indeed dead. However, it is still unclear why he came out to kill our people. Lets go to the scene and see for ourselves.

Under Jin Shis lead, several individuals rushed to the site of the incident, which was encircled by Wang Chao and others. The two victims were fifty meters apart, and the grass was stained red with blood. One of them was someone Xiao Yu knew perfectly well; it was actually the yellow-haired hooligan who was bothering Jiang Xiaowen back then. This kind of scum was an unstable factor for the team. Xiao Yu had long desired to eliminate him. He just had never been able to find a good motive or opportunity to do so. He really had no idea that Wang Yunfei would provide him with so many treasures during his lifetime and resolve this issue for him after his death. His mouth curved into an ironic smile.

The two men perished in a similar manner; both had their skulls crushed and their hearts devoured, but their bodies were mostly unharmed.

Xiao Yu carefully observed the two corpses, but he still couldnt deduce how their enemy came back to life; he shook his head and said: Although I cant figure out the specific reason, one thing is clear, normal people dont consume raw human hearts, Wang Yunfei has already passed away. It must be because of some kind of change that he ran out to kill, though he may still be wandering around. This place is not suitable for long stay. Grab your belongings, and lets depart immediately.

Everyone departed ten minutes later with all the new equipment and weaponry.

A dozen 64-type handguns and three 79-type submachine guns were discovered in the police station as they got seized and were evenly distributed among some weaker individuals. At this stage, firearms may still be useful, but after a few months, those kinds of weapons would be thrown aside. Their power wasnt enough to kill those powerful monsters, and the sound the gun produced was too loud, making it easy to cause trouble for their wielders, and as time passes, most people will gradually realize that killing monsters with gunpowder weapons could not help them in obtaining essence of energy, which greatly reduced the value of these modern technologies.

(TN: so apparently, only weapons from this world could help you gain energy unless Im wrong)

Time moved slowly, and the atmosphere was tense. Without a compass, they could vaguely judge their direction as they walked their way through the forest. Walking by feel carries a substantial amount of risk because even a minor error in judgment in this huge forest might lead everyone to deviate from the intended path.

Xiao Yu had a feeling that there were a few pairs of cold and vicious eyes staring at him in the surrounding woods.

Its not that no creatures were encountered along the way, but the majority of those beasts fled in fear at the sight of their big strong group. The great majority of monsters have a certain amount of intelligence, and they will always make simple judgments regarding whether or not to attack. No creature will throw away his life against impossible odds. Hence these monsters that dared to conceal and wait for a chance to launch a surprise attack were not to be trifled with.

Han Kexin and the others were aware of the oddity surrounding them and turned to Xiao Yu with questioning eyes.

Xiao Yu whispered to them: There may be something in the woods; quicken your pace so we can get rid of it.

His Words spread out quickly, and the entire team immediately became vigilant when they learned that monsters were lurking around them. Unknowingly, they moved forward faster and faster until they were all jogging hurriedly. The beasts in the forest finally couldnt hold back anymore. With a roar, a colorful leopard leapt out and rushed towards the most conspicuous of them all, Jin shi!

But obviously, the monster chose the wrong target. The bald guy roared and swung his shield in the air, slapping the leopard to the ground. He raised his right leg, which instantly turned into rock, and stomped the leopards head directly into the soil.

Roar!

In a split second, the roar of leopards resounded everywhere. And the Leopards came out in packs from between the bushes and dense trees as they peered icily at their large group of people.

Xiao Yu shouted: do not engage them, run!

The crowd immediately began to run frantically while the leopards continued to emerge one by one, their number quickly growing. They shuttled through the woods at an extremely fast speed, chasing the escaping human beings. Xiao Yu deliberately retreated to the teams rear to block the leopards who were catching up and repelled them one by one. And just like that, after sprinting for more than ten minutes straight without any serious harm to the group, the leopards seemed to have received an order at once, and they all stopped their chase, still roaring but not advancing.

Wang Chao was puzzled and said, Why did they stop chasing us all of a sudden?

Xiao Yu replied: Dont be careless; there must be something that forced them to stop; be wary of your surroundings.

Everyone grew alert when they heard this, and as everyone was looking around while cautiously retreating, someone pointed to the front and stated, Look, everyone, this tree looks bizarre!

Everyone gazed up to see an enormous tree through the thick foliage and twigs over their heads. It was approximately one hundred meters tall, with a crown that resembled a gigantic umbrella, as well as several nests that were scattered across its long limbs. Each birds nest was around three meters in diameter and built of very sturdy vines and mud.

What is that? Wang Chao still focused on the leopards behind him as he looked up at the enormous tree, It looks like a birds nest; why dont we go scoop up two bird eggs and try them out? I really miss the taste of poached eggs!

Han Kexin said: I think those leopards were frightened by something in here; the atmosphere around is strange; its best that we leave.

Xiao Yu also had the same thought as her, but he didnt have time to speak before

Squeak!

A loud and long shriek, as sharp as a needle, erupted from high above, and so many people couldnt stand it as they covered their ears. While the leopard, who had been stalking them like a tiger, was suddenly scurrying away like a mouse that saw its predator.

More than a dozen giant eagles flew over from a distance, their speed was extremely fast, and their wings spread out over five meters in length at the same instant. The feathers around the wings were completely golden yellow, glistening underneath the sun, and had a metallic texture to them. A pair of huge claws were clutching monster corpses of different sizes. Their eyes were extremely keen, as they could precisely pinpoint the humans below through the gaps in the dense vegetation. One giant eagle flung aside the meal in its claws amidst bursts of restless and furious long chirps. It swooped down with its wings flapping furiously.

Before the giant eagle even arrived, everyone in the woods felt a violent hurricane hit them, and the branches and leaves above their heads shook violently. At that moment, innumerable green leaves began to fall down, and a massive figure came from above the trees, and as it descended downward, its gigantic claws were grabbing toward everyone. The Fine Arts students were the most attentive of this bunch, and they all scurried around without being reminded. On the other hand, the dozen new members were caught off guard and had little time to respond. The intense pressure of the plunge crushed their internal organs. The People in the vicinity hurriedly came to their rescue, but the giant eagle flapped its wings, and a strong blast of wind blew them away. When they realized what had happened, the beast had already flown away.

What a burst of speed!! Xiao Yu was startled, The giant eagles are all monsters in the late stage of elementary level. You are not its opponents. Quickly find cover and hide!

At this time, another gust of wind slammed again as the branches and twigs were violently swayed, and a huge figure rushed out, attacking no one in particular. Seeing this, Xiao Yus eyes flickered, and his body flew toward the monster like a bullet. He met the giant eagle in the air, swung the long blade in his right hand, and blood sprayed, as dozens of large feathers scattered out one by one into the air, their color was red from being tinged in the blood, and they gave out a beautiful picture to the green forest. After the giant eagle was wounded, it fled into the skies, crying out in agony.

These giant eagles were harder to deal with than the previous Saber-armed beasts!

Everyone immediately spread out to look for cover. Some hid in tree holes, some hid in bushes, and they all found a place to conceal their bodies. Only Jiang Xiaowen was looking for a good location while being at loss. Xiao Yu quickly rushed up and threw her to the ground. He dodged a giant eagle attack from behind him, then picked her up and hopped into a small hole formed by the tangled roots of an old tree.

Hush, dont make a sound; just hide for a while.

It was very difficult to squeeze two people into this small space. Therefore, Jiang Xiaowens two slender legs were clamped around Xiao Yus waist, and her pointed chin rested on his shoulder. The two of them almost hugged each other tightly. The girl didnt notice this at first, but when her emotions calmed down, she immediately realized that their posture was a bit too ambiguous.

After Jiang Xiaowen realized this point, her heart pounded nonstop as a roller coaster of emotions surged in her body, making her feel a bit shy, nervous, and a little eager and thrilled. She could even feel Xiao Yus warm breath on her neck, the temperature of his body, and his steady and powerful heartbeat, giving her a sense of security. Right then, she felt an unexplainable sense of pleasure for some reason, and her face flushed even more after she perceived these embarrassing thoughts.

Xiao Yu sensed that the other persons body temperature was gradually rising, and her breathing grew more rapid. Her entire soft body was glued to him, especially those supple, elastic, and plump breasts of hers. Between gasps of air, he could smell a refreshing scent that made people feel invigorated. This smell was very natural; it wasnt the effect that any perfume, let alone the so-called female body fragrance, could produce; it was most likely due to Jiang Xiaowens special physique.

Flower fairies were the most beautiful race in legends. Jiang Xiaowen has really awakened a certain degree of flower fairy blood, and her temperament and looks were now undergoing tremendous changes that exceeded human boundaries.
