Chapter 327 Ying Jiang, why is it you again?
Xu Xin quickly stood up and looked outside the cave.
Outside the entrance of the cave, the originally still mist was billowing. Three giant eagles with a wingspan of more than four meters were flapping their wings in the mist, their sharp hooks and sharp claws glowing coldly!
Each one of them has blood-colored lines all over their body. They look very domineering, but also terrifying.
The bright yellow hooks and sharp claws are very eye-catching in this cold-toned sky!
One of the giant eagles is particularly huge.
Its bright yellow, downward-curving, sharp beak opened, and it made a strange cry. Its sharp eyes stared straight at the entrance of the cave where Xu Xin was.
The extremely sharp eagle claws were loosened, and a few strands of broken stone fragments were falling from the gaps in its extremely sharp and exaggeratedly huge claws. Its huge wings flapped, and it could actually hover in the air!
It was it that suddenly attacked Xu Xin from behind. After he dodged, it directly dug a hole into the rock wall and shattered the rock wall!
"This..."
Looking at the three giant eagles in front of him, Xu Xin was not afraid, but rather dumbfounded, and his eyes shone at the same time.
This giant eagle looks familiar...
If you don't look at the bloody lines on their bodies, he has encountered this kind of big bird with a white head, black body, yellow beak and claws once in this world...
Isn't this... a bald eagle? !
Yingjiang, why is it you again? !
How could you be in such a cold place, and how could you grow so huge!
Bald eagles, commonly known as bald eagles, generally live in rivers, lakes or seaside, preying on fish, water birds and small mammals.
The last time Xu Xin encountered such a big bird was during the first stage of hunting.
His automatic heavy crossbow shot a bald eagle that was hunting at low altitude, nailing it directly to the trunk of a tree.
The sea eagle contributed several kilograms of eagle meat and dozens of feathers to him.
But he didn't expect to see bald eagles at such high altitudes where birds don't poop and the temperature is extremely low.
Or a few mutated bald eagles!
The bald eagle is not afraid of the cold. It can soar rapidly in the air whether it is hot summer or severe winter. Its feathers are hollow and have good warmth retention properties, and there are a large number of fine hairs at the root of each feather to further promote warmth. effect.
That being said, but... the temperature here is too low!
Can you fly even at minus 50 degrees?
How should I put it, it is indeed a mutated creature...
Among the three bald eagles, the largest one’s talons look particularly exaggerated. The huge and sharp talons can crush even hard rocks!
This is the sign of an intermediate mutant creature. The attack part is huge. It is obvious that this is an intermediate mutant creature, and it seems to be stronger than ordinary intermediate mutant creatures.
Fortunately, although the other two are not small, they do not have iconic mutations, indicating that they are still low-level mutated creatures.
Xu Xin looked at the map.
Unfortunately, there is no display on the map.
There are red dots, but they are all creatures on the ground. There was still nothing around him.
...This map is so weak. It cannot be displayed underground, and it cannot be displayed at this high altitude...
At this time, the largest intermediate mutant bald eagle suddenly let out a sharp cry and rushed towards Xu Xin!
Xu Xin immediately retreated into the depths of the cave.
The bald eagle is so big that it cannot fly into the cave after spreading its wings. It can only make a strange cry and wave its sharp talons at the cliff edge of the cave.
"Click!"
The sound of rocks breaking was heard, and a stone about ten centimeters in size was directly grabbed by this random claw, rolling down the uneven mountain wall and falling.
Xu Xin listened to the sound of rocks colliding and rolling on the mountain wall, and nervously stared at the three bald eagles blocking the entrance of the cave.
Where did they come from? Could it be that he was also brought out of the ground by this giant peak?
Why are there mutated creatures that can fly underground?
Wait...
This giant peak is thousands of meters high...
If the depth is more than a thousand meters, it can already involve the underground world, right? !
That underground world filled with giant monsters is almost a thousand meters underground, right? !
The three huge mutated bald eagles shrank back when they saw Xu Xin. They couldn't attack and could only make shrill screams at the entrance of the cave.
Although it was a shrill scream, Xu Xin couldn't help but want to laugh.
Although the bald eagle looks majestic, unlike its domineering appearance, the call of the bald eagle is very weak. If you don't look at its appearance and just listen to the sound, you will only think that it is a group of small birds chirping. .
In various movies, the long, sharp, and sky-shattering cry of the bald eagle is actually not its own voice, but the cry of the famous dubbing artist in the eagle world, the red-tailed buzzard.
Because its own voice really doesn't match its appearance, in order to maintain its image, it can only find voice actors.
In this respect, the bald eagle is somewhat similar to Mimi, who is a cheetah. One is a moaning monster in the world of beasts, and the other is a moaning monster in the world of raptors.
"Click! Click!"
Seeing that Xu Xin did not come out of the cave, several bald eagles began to attack the cave entrance in turn. The sharp eagle claws attacked the cave entrance again and again. The rock wall was constantly scratched into pieces, and the cave entrance was also covered from the original one meter wide. Gradually expand.
Xu Xin didn't panic. He had already taken out the crossbow from his backpack and installed an explosive crossbow bolt.
He didn't rush to shoot, but thought for a moment.
Why did these big guys suddenly appear and attack him?
Could it be that it was because of that egg?
That egg couldn't be that of a bald eagle, right? !
A bald eagle egg with the blood of a giant beast?
Hiss...
Xu Xin's eyes gradually opened wide.
"Crack!" Another attack, and the cave's exit was once again enlarged. Then, the large bald eagle retracted its wings and stood at the entrance of the cave, blocking the exit.
Although the wingspan of the big guy exceeds four meters, it is not big when it folds its wings and stands on the ground with two claws. Even if the cave exit is not enlarged by their attacks, it can still burrow in.
But its combat effectiveness is completely different when it gets in and flies outside. It can't fly, and its claws are used for walking. The bald eagle walking on the ground is not difficult for Xu Xin at all.
Therefore, although the mutated bald eagle blocked the exit, it did not dare to come in. It just made a bird call at Xu Xin.
Xu Xin had already pointed the crossbow at the bald eagle.
This intermediate mutated bald eagle must be killed.
If this big guy attacks him while he's climbing, he won't be able to resist it.
The bald eagle didn't seem to understand what the crossbow in Xu Xin's hand was. It was still making bird calls, and at the same time it wanted to spread its wings to intimidate, but the cave was narrow, so it could only keep flapping the cold air with the outside of its wings. cave wall.
Outside the cave, the two low-level mutated bald eagles were still circling.
Xu Xin took a few steps back, narrowed his eyes, and immediately pulled the trigger.
"Boom!"
There was a violent explosion accompanied by some miserable birdsong.
The explosive crossbow bolt directly hit this intermediate-level mutated bald eagle, and thick smoke instantly filled the entire cave entrance!
Xu Xin also pulled the trigger while retracting the crossbow, took out the halberd, pointed it straight ahead, and struggled to poke into the thick smoke generated at the moment of the explosion!
But it missed the mark.
Although the bald eagle is large, it is still too light.
It was directly blown away by the shock wave generated by the explosion, leaving blood stains and many feathers in the cave.
The explosion that directly hit its body caused huge damage to it. The bald eagle was blown away and fell directly to the ground hundreds of meters below in a parabola!
Xu Xin's halberd passed through the thick fog and accurately struck another bald eagle that was panicked by the explosion!
Expose it directly!
The vitality spread to the whole body along the halberd handle, making Xu Sui, who was still a little chilly, instantly warmed up.
[Kill the mutated bald eagle and gain points: 50 points. 】
The bald eagle he impaled died on the spot.
The remaining one, after letting out a horrified cry, immediately began to dive downwards, flying rapidly around the giant stone pillar peak, and disappeared in an instant.
Xu Xin was a little helpless. He knew that it would be very difficult to keep a low-level mutated sea eagle.
This sea eagle can fly!
It seems that the idea of contracting it directly has failed.
The big guy that was directly blown away by the explosive crossbow bolt and fell hundreds of meters underground in a parabola did not know where it went, but since there was no prompt to kill it in the ears, it meant that it was not dead yet.
However, Xu Xin just observed clearly that one of its wings should have been blown off.
In order to reduce weight, the bones of birds have long evolved to be hollow. Even the bones of intermediate-level mutated birds are much more fragile than those of ground creatures. When the explosive crossbow bolt hits its body, all the bones in its body may be damaged. Not comfortable.
Even if the intermediate mutant had a long life and strong self-recovery ability, Xu Xin didn't think that this big guy could recover within a day and then continue to cause trouble for him.
Fortunately, this guy had to stand at the entrance of the cave to block the road. If he were in the air, it would be basically impossible for his explosive crossbow bolt to hit him.
Outside the cave, there were no bald eagles circling anymore.
Xu Xin looked outside and had no intention of leaving now.
Because he had already heard the sound coming from the top of the stone pillar peak.
The avalanche is coming!
Using explosive crossbow bolts on the snow-capped mountains caused such a big noise, it would be strange if there wasn't an avalanche!
Fortunately, his current location will not be affected by the avalanche. In a cave on the cliff, the avalanche cannot affect him. It was just a good time to clear the accumulated snow on the mountain, so that he could climb better later.
Sure enough, within ten seconds, the snow accumulated on the mountain began to roll down.
It was not a large avalanche as imagined. After all, there were not many places to store snow in the huge stone pillar peaks that went straight up and down.
Fortunately, otherwise it would be a sin. After all, the person who climbed this mountain was not only himself, but also Ji Chaoyang...
Although he didn't know whether his actions could affect Ji Chaoyang.
Xu Sui stood in the cave, looking at the falling snowdrifts at the entrance, thinking about what had just happened.
Did those bald eagles attack him because they were hostile to him and wanted to prey on him, or because of the egg in his bracelet?
Bald eagle eggs? Or a bald eagle egg with the blood of a giant beast?
Xu Xin took the egg out of the bracelet and observed it carefully.
The eggshell was still full of cracks, and the little life inside the egg was breathing very shallowly. It must be sleeping.
By the way, the eggs are already like this. If he helps to peel them open, there should be no problem, right?
...Forget it, let's wait for it to break out of its shell on its own. It's useless to peel it out now. He doesn't have time to take care of a little guy now.
Xu Xin has always had the idea of contracting a mutant creature that can fly. In his imagination, the bald eagle he met once during hunting was a very good choice.
The mutated bald eagle might be able to take him flying.
Of course, riding directly on the back of a big eagle like in the fairy tale is definitely not possible.
Even if the intermediate-level mutated bald eagle just now has a body length of more than two meters and a wingspan of more than four meters, standing on its back would probably knock it down.
Even though it's so big, it probably weighs less than thirty kilograms.
You must know that on earth, a bald eagle with a wingspan of two meters is considered relatively large if it weighs five or six kilograms, which is ridiculously light. This is still the weight of the heavier female among raptors. A male bald eagle can weigh up to four kilograms.
Even though eagles are birds of prey, most eagles actually weigh much less than the fat rabbits they catch. Stepping on their backs and letting them fly is purely to kill them.
However, even though you can’t carry it on your back, you can hold it!
Eagles can typically catch prey twice their own body weight!
Although the endurance is not good, I usually catch it and fly it to a high altitude, then throw it to death directly before eating.
But... we should be able to look forward to it when it comes to mutated creatures, right?
Flying while being held by an eagle on the shoulder...
That picture is so exciting just thinking about it!
If the little guy in this egg is really a bald eagle, that is his hope!
Of course, he could also capture a mutated sea eagle alive and make a contract directly, but it would be too difficult, and Xu Xin felt that even the size of the previous mutated bald eagles might not be able to carry him.
Not only does he have his own weight, but he also has armor and a backpack, so he is definitely not light.
You still have to rely on the blood of giant beasts. If it can be as big as a giant anaconda, maybe you can actually ride it.
At this time, the little life in the egg seemed to feel the cold, and its breathing became a little messy. Xu Xin quickly took the egg back.
Don't think about these things now, it's important to complete the task.
At this time, the avalanche outside the cave has ended, but some snowflakes will occasionally fall.
Xu Xin looked out and saw that a few hundred meters below, the snow was extremely thick, and there were no raptors circling outside.
It's time to go. (End of chapter)
