He hurriedly looked up and saw a huge flying bird hovering in the sky. Its wings were stretched out to a width of three to four feet. Its feathers were black and shiny, and it exuded a faint black mist. It seemed to be a monster.
Before Shen Luo could take a closer look, the bird spread its wings, swooped down towards the mountain col, and quickly disappeared from his sight.
Shen Luo felt strange, so he quickened his pace and chased the bird in the direction it was flying.
He chased forward for a hundred or so steps when he suddenly heard the faint sound of wild beasts roaring and wailing coming from ahead.
"Someone!"
Shen Luo said secretly, jumped up, and accelerated towards the mountain col.
The closer you get, the louder the various cries and roars of animals become.
When he reached almost halfway up the mountain, he finally saw a village built on the mountain in the middle of the mountain, with the huge mountain peak as its back.
The village seemed small in size, but it seemed to have a circle of fortifications built around it. Thick trees with sharpened tops were tied together side by side to form a solid wooden fence wall.
The high walls enclosed by these wooden fences are more than two feet high. There is a high platform built against the wall inside. Every few steps on it stands a Human Race young man wearing coarse linen clothes, holding a bow and arrow and a spear, constantly shooting and assassinating.
Outside the wooden fence, there were more than a dozen gray-haired apes with the same height as ordinary people but ten times stronger than ordinary people gathered together. Several of them grabbed stones with their forehands and threw them violently towards the top of the fence. Every time the stone fell, there was a loud bang, and the force was staggering.
On the other side of the fence wall, there are two heavy wooden doors wrapped in iron sheets embedded in them. There are also a few apes gathered in front of them, holding thick stone sticks in their hands, swinging their arms and pounding them continuously.
Someone above the village gate saw that the wooden gate was being smashed so hard that it could no longer hold up, so he leaned out and stabbed downwards with his spear, trying to stop the apes.
But as soon as he showed his head, he was hit in the head by a flying stone. His brain immediately burst, his body tilted, and he fell from the wall.
When the apes gathered in front of the door saw this, they stopped banging on the door and came over to fight for it. The man's body was grabbed by their hands and feet, and it was about to be torn apart.
At this moment, a purple-haired woman wearing crude armor suddenly appeared on top of the fence wall.
He quickly formed seals with his hands in front of him and swung downwards. Suddenly there was a whistling sound in the void, and a group of Scarlet Flame Fireball the size of a human head fell from the sky and hit the group of gray-haired apes.
Those beasts seemed to know how powerful the fireball was, and they all abandoned the meat in their mouths and ran away.
After Scarlet Flame Fireball hit the corpse, a burst of fire immediately rose up and engulfed it.
Seeing this, the apes became more ferocious and smashed at the village gate again. The other apes threw stones and smashed at the woman.
"There are cultivators..."
Shen Luo hesitated for a moment, and looked at the woman attentively, only to find that the woman had an immature appearance, still looking like a girl. Her arms and legs under the broken armor were wrapped in a layer of white cloth, and some blackened dried blood could be faintly seen on it.
At this moment, a bird's chirping sound suddenly sounded in the sky.
Shen Luo looked up and saw three or four huge birds hovering in the sky that were exactly the same as what he had seen before. After flying around the village in a circle, they suddenly swooped down, jumped over the wooden fence, and pounced towards the village.
Seeing this, the young people on the high wall of the fence drew their bows and arrows and shot arrows at them.
The arrows flew through the air, seemingly at a slow speed, but when they flew in front of the three giant birds, they were swept up by the strong wind carried by their wings, and they immediately lost their accuracy, and none of them could hit the target.
I saw those giant birds flying down into the village, directly knocking down the adobe huts, and either pecking them with their beaks or using their claws to catch the old and young people hiding in the houses.
There were screams and screams for a while.
Beside the road in the middle of the village, some thin and naked people were sitting beside the collapsed house walls, neither hiding nor moving. Their deep-set eye sockets were filled with turbidity, and their eyes were completely lifeless, as if they were already dead bodies.
There was also the staggering old woman, whose steps were weak. After running two steps, she fell to the ground. She didn't even have the strength to struggle to get up. Her eyes were already dry and she couldn't even shed tears.
After the three giant birds flew out of the fence, they immediately opened their mouths and released their grasp, and threw the captured old, weak, women and children to the ground, causing their heads to bleed.
Seeing this, the gray-haired apes rushed towards them one after another and quickly tore these people apart and devoured them all.
After eating humans, these beasts seemed to be more excited and attacked the village harder. The giant birds also flapped their wings and swooped towards the village.
One of the giant birds flew over a thatched hut in the center of the village. With just a flap of its wings, the strong wind blew away the entire roof.
There was a scream in the house, and there were actually thirteen or fourteen children in their eighties or nineteen years old. They were all huddled in a corner of the house shivering, their faces covered with tears, and their eyes full of fear.
When the giant bird saw this, it screamed excitedly and immediately swooped down towards the children in the room.
At this time, a wrinkled white-haired old woman suddenly rushed over from the side, holding a wooden broom in her hand, like an old hen guarding her chicks, blocking the children behind her.
The giant bird flew down with its claws like hooks and was about to catch the old woman.
There was a loud "boom"!
A Scarlet Flame Fireball suddenly fell from a high altitude and hit the back of the giant bird.
The giant bird whined and was knocked away, collapsing a wall and being buried under rubble.
On top of the fence wall, the purple-haired girl looked pale, slowly withdrew her hand, and smiled at the old woman and children on the other side of the wall.
But before her smile could fully unfold, her back was hit by a stone that shot towards her. She flew out from the wall unsteadily and fell to the ground, vomiting blood.
Without her help guarding the wall, the young men were immediately suppressed by the apes' stones, and they didn't even dare to show their heads. The apes in front of the village gate smashed them even more vigorously.
The two weather-beaten village doors finally failed to hold up and were about to burst apart.
Once this door is opened, the village will be destroyed and people will be killed.
The purple-haired girl endured the severe pain all over her body, struggled to stand up, and wanted to rush to the village gate.
At this time, she was seriously injured and her walking was a little unsteady. She did not notice at all that the giant bird that she knocked over behind her had stood up from the rubble. With a flick of its wings, it flew towards her and stabbed the back of her head with a sharp beak like an awl.
