Chapter 99 The Vampire Eagles

At this moment, loud noises were coming from beneath the peak. Countless strange birds were shrieking and flying out from the woods and up into the air. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a dark mass as if a hornet's nest had been stabbed. These birds were not as small as hornets. They were as large as eagles and had fiery red wings.

The creepy thing was that their heads were not bird heads but human heads. They were extremely ugly, with eyes, noses, and mouths like those of humans. When they opened their mouths to shriek, they revealed rows of sharp, ill-looking fangs. Their voices were harsh and unpleasant, sometimes like the cries of infants, sometimes like the screams of female ghosts, sometimes like the maniacal laughter of madmen.

As a result, the crying, shrieking, and maniacal laughter blended in the air, one after another, like a gathering of evil ghosts. If one heard them, he would feel his back and spine was chilly, and fears uncontrollably grew in his heart, as if he got an electric shock which transited his entire body instantly.

What the hell were they?

Qin Hao saw the most among the three of them because his eyesight was more than that of an ordinary person. What he saw made him feel a chill from his spine. Luckily, he was a Martial Cultivator, and he had excellent skills and guts; hence he didn't reveal panic expression and didn't turn to pale as the baldy and Ayte did.

He was curious now. When they came up from that place earlier, they had not seen these disgusting creatures, nor had they disturbed them. How come they suddenly run out?

"The Vampire Eagles! They're coming towards us! Run! " Ayte yelled wildly. He was originally lying on the ground like a half-dead man, and he got the strength somehow, rolled to his feet and jumped up. "Swoosh," he rushed past Qin Hao, disappearing into the forest. Damn, he ran faster than a rabbit and didn't look like someone exhausted at all.

Seeing that Ayte had run away, the baldy crawled up in fear and was about to follow him into the forest. After running for a distance, seeing that Qin Hao did not move, he turned back and asked: "Brother Qin, those things are dangerous. We'd better hide for a while."

Qin Hao stared at the Vampire Eagles Ayte mentioned in the distance and calmly replied, "You guys go to hide first."

"Eh." The baldy hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he did not follow Ayte's footsteps. He pulled out a dagger from one of his shoes, turned around and walked to the side of Qin Hao, carefully staring at these Vampire Eagles.

Qin Hao turned his head and glanced at the baldy, feeling a little surprised. In his mind, he got a different feeling towards the baldy who did not abandon his companion at the critical moment. With this lofty sentiment, Qin Hao felt that the baldy was worth befriending. Wasn't his previous guard and suspicions towards him a little superfluous?

"Wa! Wa! Wa! Wa!"

Suddenly, the largest eagle let out strange cries that echoed through the skies. The cries were like the wails of humans, and it was unknown what it was wailing about.

Along with its wails, other Vampire Eagles flapped their wings, wailing and crying one after another, which made a loud sound. At this moment, all the sounds from the entire island were being swallowed by the wailing, except human's cries, which was sorrowful and caused one to share tears. If someone who didn't understand what was going on heard the cries, he would think that hundreds of people were wailing at a funeral on this island.

"Brother Qin, they're coming on our way." The baldy looked at those disgusting, strange birds. They flew into the air in the wailing of the largest strange bird as if they were suddenly summoned. Then, that huge strange bird, followed by a large black mass of birds pounced towards them. There were at least hundreds of them.

Wherever they went, they covered the sky like dark clouds. All the wild beasts in the forest below were frightened and scattered in all directions.

The baldy raised his head and looked at those Vampire Eagles who were coming closer and closer. His face turned into more and paler. Earlier there was a long distance away from them, and his eyesight was limited to see very clearly. As the distance between them was shortened, the vicious and disgusting faces of these Vampire Eagles gradually became more explicit in his eyes. At this moment, he honestly felt fear and chill.

"Qin, Brother Qin, we … we …" His voice was trembling, his legs began to shake, and he tightened the dagger grasped in his hand.

"Don't worry. They're not coming for us." Qin Hao was remarkably calm as if he had seen through the thoughts of those strange birds.

Indeed, with "hula" sounds, hundreds of Vampire Eagles flew over the heads of Qin Hao and the baldy and pounced towards the other side of the mountain.

However, there were a few Vampire Eagles that couldn't stand the temptation of Qin Hao and the baldy. They screeched and ran away from the group, diving down towards Qin Hao and the baldy. Meanwhile, the main group of strange birds continued to fly towards the other side of the mountain.

"Be careful, Brother Qin. They're coming towards us." The baldy shouted and raised his dagger. However, Ayte's screaming rang out behind him. That fellow was hiding behind a big tree in the forest, looking at this direction all the time.

"No, don't use a knife. They will get crazier when they see the blood." In a moment of desperation, Ayte spoke in his mother tongue.

Hearing Ayte's shout, Qin Hao turned around and glanced at him. He didn't expect that Ayte didn't run far away.

"Cluck, cluck, cluck."

As soon as Ayte's voice faded, a few Vampire Eagles rang out laughter like women's screaming and pounced towards them in excitement. Their ugly and big mouths opened, revealing the disgusting yellow fangs. They flapped their broad wings and rolled up a fierce hurricane, causing the grass and woods on the ground to twist and distort.

"Ah!" To boost his courage, the baldy let out a furious roar. At this moment, he didn't care about Ayte's reminder. He raised his dagger and slashed at the head of a Vampiric Eagle who was dashing to them.

"Ah!" The Vampiric Eagle also let out a furious roar. It turned the head sideways and dodged the baldy's dagger. Its wings swept downwards. With a "flop" sound, the vast power made the strong baldy fly out. Not only did these monsters have human heads, but they also had intelligence, and their strength was stronger than humans.

"Bang, bang, bang …" Qin Hao had already made his moves.

"Ah …" The Vampire Eagles kept shrieking, and they were falling from the sky from time to time.

Qin Hao killed three of the six Vampire Eagles that swooped down in the blink of an eye. The rest three were terrified by Qin Hao's silver needles and fists as if they understood human's doing. They flew into the air with screaming and flew to the distance. They didn't catch up with the main group but flying alone. What's going on?

"Wa! Wa! Wa! ..." The ear-piercing screams coming from the foot of the mountain behind them attracted Qin Hao. Hence, he didn't bother with the three Vampire Eagles which run away but turning around in a hurry to look at the other side of the mountain.

The next moment, he was shocked. He was so astonished that his mouth slightly opened, and his face was filled with confusion and disbelief.

At the side of the mountain, about a kilometer away from the peak, there was a particularly lush forest. The trees there were different from the ones nearby, which were green and glistening, towering into the clouds. Some trees even kept the same heights as the mountain which Qin Hao and the rest were standing.

The dense mass of Vampire Eagles screeched as they soared in the sky above that forest, and their black shadows were enveloping the forest.

At first, these Vampire Eagles just hovered in the air, letting out mournful wails and cries. Then, suddenly, something odd happened. These Vampire Eagles liked being possessed, dashing down one by one.

One, two, three … After that came a group, one after another. They were tough and seemed not to be afraid of death.

Those thick and verdant branches and green leaves had been subverted into a mess by them. Countless treetops had been broken, leaving only bare tree trunks behind.

"Oh shit, what are they doing? My God, it's horrible, Amen." It's unknown when Ayte had crawled out of the jungle and was standing on the peak, staring below with his mouth wide open.

This lasted for more than ten minutes. After that, the island finally returned to its previous peace. Only the roaring of the waves and the whistling of the sea breeze could be heard. This flock of strange birds seemed to have been born in a moment and died out in an instant.

On the mountain peak, Qin Hao and the other two looked down in a daze. They had many questions.

"I'll go and look. You wait here for me." After a while, Qin Hao said.

The baldy and Ayte also came back to their senses, and Ayte immediately shouted, "No, no, I know you're very powerful, and you just killed three disgusting things, but, but …. It must be very dangerous there. "He didn't know what was going on there, but he guessed it must be dangerous.

Qin Hao ignored him. Before he could finish his words, he had already flown out like a gust of wind. This time, he used the Phantom Cloud Trace. Like a gentle swallow, he quickly walked on the treetops as if it was flat ground, gracefully, naturally and unrestrainedly.

Qin Hao's unique skill made Ayte exclaim in an exaggerated tone, "Oh wow, Kung Fu, Kung Fu, Chinese Kung Fu." He had seen this scene often in Chinese Wuxia movies. At first, he thought that using Chinese Kung Fu could let a man walk on air, leap onto roofs and vault over walls. He felt that there were Kung Fu experts everywhere in China. Afterward, he knew it was fake and snorted at the bluff effect made by the helicopters and ropes.

However, now, the scene in front of him had overturned what he had thought. It was not fake since there was no rope nor helicopter here. This was true Qing Kung, the legendary Chinese Kung Fu.

"Mr. Baldy, Qin is too great. He's my idol, and he's my god. I must acknowledge him as my master. I must learn Kung Fu … Kung Fu, Kung Fu!" Ayte waved his arms and howled excitedly as the baldy looked at him with contempt.

"Ayte, this is an ancient martial art from China. They wouldn't accept ordinary people like us to be their disciples." The baldy coldly splashed a bucket of cold water to him.

"No, no, no. Mr. Baldy, I've decided that I will acknowledge him as my master. Even if he doesn't agree, I will still take him as my master. As long as he's willing to accept me as his disciple, I am willing to lick his toes."

Hearing these words, the baldy felt a chill from his spine. Damn, this foreigner was genuinely abnormal.

In just a few minutes, Qin Hao landed on the ground of the forest that was destroyed into a mess because of what those Vampire Eagles did. To his surprise, other than the scattered feathers and some bloodstains, he didn't see any of those strange birds.

What was going on? Where did they go? Transmigrating to someplace else?

Just as Qin Hao's mind was filled with doubts, a "boom" sound rang out. The ground under his feet suddenly shook, causing his expressions to change slightly.
