Chapter 53: Demon Lake Butterfly Shadow (05)

That kind of sound is unusually dense, it sounds like the sound of the tide, and it sounds like the sound of countless wings waving, which makes people feel hairy. They just got rid of the attack of the "monster butterfly" and they don't want to encounter anything again, but this is not They decided that everything in the jungle is not for human beings, and here is the purer nature.

The sound was getting closer and closer, as if it was a storm and a tsunami... The American soldier who caught Li Siming was also attracted by the sound, raised his head and looked around, Si Xuanyi took the opportunity to pull Li Siming back, and now the internal strife Not a good thing.

"Hide..." Agui yelled to the others, but the problem was that he didn't know what was coming, and he couldn't even confirm the direction of the sound. How should he hide?This place itself is a jungle that covers the sky and the sun, and it is much more hidden than the lake and mountains just now. Should we climb the tree or get down on the spot?All of a sudden, everyone didn't know what to do.

"Climb the tree!" Ma Zhong said nervously, he always felt unsafe on the ground.

Others have already understood a truth, that is, Ma Zhong's words are basically negligible, so no one pays attention to him.

At this moment, the sound was already nearby, and they finally distinguished that the sound came from the tree crown above their heads. The dense tree crown shook violently, and before they could react, countless black shadows came out of it, densely packed. More than you can imagine...

Only then did they see clearly that it was a black toucan the size of an adult's hand. It looked like a crow, but it was much smaller, and its mouth was wider than a crow. scissors.

Everyone was caught off guard, these strange birds flew extremely low, many of them passed by them, and some even hit them directly, the force was similar to being hit by a stone, and they immediately fell to the ground dodge.

"Grago..." Rhodes squatted at the root of the tree with his head in his arms to avoid the flying strange birds, but at least half of the people didn't understand what he was talking about. She didn't quite understand what the word meant, but she could roughly understand it as "toucan".

"This is the soul-eating bird of the underworld." Li Siming carefully identified the strange bird that fell to his feet because it hit the helmet and was stunned.

This is a strange bird with a dark body except for the light yellow beak. What makes people look extremely uncomfortable is that the eyes of this bird are blood red...

"What?" Si Xuanyi crawled over while holding the edge of the helmet and asked.

"Soul-eating bird, something in the legend." Li Siming carefully stayed away from the strange bird. This is a strange bird mentioned in a story circulating in their hometown. Those wandering souls who are unwilling to enter the underworld and wander between the yin and yang realms belong to the law enforcers in charge of the balance of the yin and yang realms. Crows are often seen in mass graves or beside corpses and are mistaken for feeding on corrosion. Of course, it is also possible that they really eat carrion, but these are all legendary things, but no one has seen them with their own eyes.

"How do you know?" Si Xuanyi asked puzzled.

"You don't smell a dead person?" Li Siming asked.

It was only then that Si Xuanyi noticed a rancid smell in the air, and he didn't know where it came from.

"It's on this thing." Li Siming pointed to those strange birds, "They like to eat carrion corpses. It is said that the corpses eaten by them cannot be reincarnated, and the soul will be imprisoned on them."

"They are here to eat those 'demon butterflies'." Agui said not far away, and the others noticed that those strange birds were circling in the air, and they were indeed hunting the "monster butterflies".

Those "demon butterflies" that almost sucked them dry no longer had the prestige they had just now. Compared with these strange birds, their speed was simply too slow, and they were not in the same rhythm at all, but they did not wait to die resignedly. In addition to escaping, some of them actually fought with the strange birds. Some of the strange birds were even covered with more than a dozen monster butterflies, and soon fell from the air and fell into the grass. It seems that these "monster butterflies" are not all There is no way to fight back.

At the same time, they also saw another scene. The shriveled corpse of the US military in the distance was being snatched by a group of soul-eating birds. Although there was no bloody scene, they could see the scene of skin and flesh being torn off. The strength of the strange bird is so great.

"With such a huge number, these strange birds are not easy. It seems that they can devour these butterflies, but in fact they also face the risk of backlash." Li Siming expressed his admiration for nature's mutual restraint.

There is no absolute power in nature. Elephants can easily trample ants to death, but enough ants can also eat elephants. In the jungle, there are not a few examples of army ants killing a herd of elephants, so everything It's all relative, the so-called strong does not exist, it depends on what kind of opponent he is facing.

"Go..." Si Xuanyi interrupted Li Siming's thinking, and then he remembered that this was a good opportunity to stay away from this place. At the same time, he also understood why those monster butterflies were unwilling to come into the forest. Maybe this forest It is the territory of these soul-eating birds.

The group immediately withdrew into the woods. No one expected that another life would be lost under the beautiful scenery of the lake and mountains. At this time, Rhodes seldom spoke actively, and it could be seen that his will was very depressed.

Agui led the way, and searched forward according to the guidance of the signs they found before. Originally, they could walk along the lake. The scenery of green mountains and clear waters is so beautiful, that is the direction guided by the signs, but now they dare not go there anymore. There is a lake beach with lush water and grass, who knows what else will come out?

Walking along the edge of the forest is actually walking along the lake at a farther place, but the distance is at least twice as long as walking in a straight line.

"I really don't know if we can go out." Ma Zhong said with a sad face.

Li Siming can't wait to kick him a few more times. Saying such things at a time when morale is low is simply to continue to make other people feel hopeless, especially a guy like Agui who is not determined. Fortunately, Rhodes and the others Lao Mei couldn't understand.

"Shut up, if you keep nagging you, just stay here and don't follow me." Si Xuanyi gave him a hard look.

Ma Zhong scratched his head and didn't know what to say.

"According to this rate, those of us will not die for a week." Liang Rong said worriedly, "Now it is one a day. As we go deeper into the jungle, the rate of death is also multiplying."
