Chapter 329: The circling group of vultures, the long-lost treasure chest!
This big bird is covered with thick feathers, and the lower part of its neck is even like a furry scarf. It looks very warm, but the entire head is hairless. It looks very ferocious, but also a bit funny.
Xu Xin's pupils shrank suddenly.
This is...
Vulture!
It is the largest flying animal on earth!
Vultures, also known as vultures, are large birds of prey in the Accipitridae family, just like the bald eagles Xu Xin encountered before. They can stay in the sky for 5 hours continuously without flapping their wings. They can fly more than 170 kilometers at high altitudes by gliding alone. They are super masters in the gliding world!
Moreover, most vultures on earth are much larger than bald eagles!
But again, because they are so big, they need some help to fly, even with their extremely long wingspans.
Most vultures prefer to live in windy areas, where they can glide effortlessly on rising air currents and soar through the sky.
...No wonder, no wonder there was a sudden wind and updraft in this area. He thought this was a climbing benefit for him, but unexpectedly, it was to provide a good flying environment for large vultures!
Wait...
The sound just now seems to be more than just this one...
Sure enough, as Xu Xin watched in horror, as the vulture glided out, one by one the vultures leaped out from the protruding rock wall.
A steady stream.
They began to circle and fly around the giant stone pillar peak, as if on patrol, trying to kill everyone who wanted to climb the peak.
Xu Xin didn't dare to move.
Because the vulture that flew out of the rock wall first was obviously aimed at him!
After it flew out of the giant stone pillar, it leaned over and sprinted towards Xu Xin, obviously intending to attack Xu Xin!
But because Xu Xin hung motionless on the rock wall, it lost its target.
After circling twice behind Xu Xin, without finding the target, it began to circle around the giant stone pillar peak at the height Xu Xin climbed to.
Xu Xin breathed out slowly, feeling somewhat fortunate.
It will lose its target, not because it cannot catch non-dynamic prey, so it cannot see Xu Xin if it does not move.
A vulture is a bird of prey! Its eyesight is very strong, almost eight times that of humans!
Even while hovering high in the sky, vultures can easily see small prey on the ground.
The reason why it lost its target was because of the equipment Xu Xin was wearing now.
[The Cloak of the Invisible (Purple): A cloak that can hide one's own aura. After a survivor puts it on, as long as he stays put, he will be ignored by enemy units as a stone on the roadside. 】
That's right, Xu Xin, who was motionless on the rock wall, was ignored by the vulture that was originally coming towards him as a rock wall!
This vulture is probably very strange, so it keeps circling at this height.
Xu Xin could almost guess what it was thinking at this time.
What's going on? Why did the prey suddenly disappear? Weren't you here just now?
At the same time, its movements also attracted a large number of other vultures to fly to this height. With the help of the updraft, they spread their wings and began to rotate and glide around the giant stone pillar peaks.
Xu Xin is now grabbing the rock with both hands and turning his head sideways, so he can clearly observe the situation behind him.
Now, there are twenty or thirty vultures circling behind him!
sky! This is too much!
If there were only two or three, he could still grab the stone wall with his claws and hang in mid-air to fight against the vultures, but there were twenty or thirty vultures...
He didn't dare to move at all!
If you move, you will be eaten directly!
And...
These vultures have no blood streaks on their bodies!
They do look huge, bigger than the bald eagles we encountered before, but compared to the largest vultures on earth, the Andean Condor, these vultures are only a small circle bigger. That’s all!
In other words, their body size is actually completely within the normal range of creatures in this world. The species in this world are somewhat larger than the creatures on earth because they are more or less affected by the blood of giants. .
In other words, these vultures are actually ordinary creatures in this world!
He actually encountered a real group of raptors that had not been mutated!
The raptor encountered was not a mutated creature. It seemed good, at least weaker than the mutated vulture, but this directly put Xu Xin into a desperate situation!
Because, if it is a blood-striped creature, he can also use his energy core to drive it away, but for ordinary creatures...
There is absolutely no way to drive away the light emitted by the energy core fragments! You might even be able to attract their attention!
He really didn't expect that a normal group of raptors would be so difficult to deal with!
If he were on the ground, Xu Xin might still be able to fight, but on this high cliff, there was no way he could be a match for these vultures!
The most ferocious bird on the earth hovered behind him, and it was even bigger than the big birds on the earth. This made Xu Xin feel bad.
He didn't dare to move, not at all, not at all.
His brain was running rapidly, and he thought of many ways, such as hooking his claws on the rock wall to hang himself, then turning around to attack, or quickly climbing up forty meters to the platform where these vultures flew out, etc. methods, but they were all rejected by him.
It is basically impossible to succeed. In the air, these big guys in front of you are the overlords, and he is just a weak and pitiful passerby.
It seemed that he could only wait until the vultures got tired of flying and flew back before he had a chance to continue climbing.
The group of vultures behind them were still circling around the giant stone pillar peaks.
...There is nothing we can do, what else can we do, just wait.
But, how long will it take to wait...
Although these big guys are very big, they seem to be tired after flying in the air for a while, but big birds like vultures are not like small birds, which rely on flapping their wings to provide power to fly.
They will take advantage of the wind and travel with the wind. Even if they just spread their wings and remain motionless, it will not be a problem to glide in the air for more than five hours!
...He wouldn't really have to wait for several hours.
Xu Xin even slowed down his breathing, fearing that the rise and fall of his chest might attract these vultures.
Don't underestimate this group of raptors. A group of more than a dozen vultures on the planet can eat a sheep cleanly in one minute. They are completely ferocious predators.
I am afraid that as soon as Xu Xin is discovered, he will be attacked by a group of people!
Of course, he was still wearing purple-level steel armor, so he would definitely not be eaten directly, but Xu Xin didn't think that purple-level steel armor could save his life under these birds of prey at high altitudes!
Let him live a little longer at most.
This set of armor did not protect his face, and it was normal for these vultures to peck his face. He could not protect his face from the vultures at all.
Quietly, Xu Xin hung on the rock wall, nervously watching the movements of these vultures.
In this way, a long time passed, so long that he didn't know how long it had passed.
Because he didn't dare to turn around and look at his watch.
All he knew was that all the blue-level fruit enhancement buffs on his body had long since disappeared, and the sun was already hanging high above his head.
It’s already noon...
My arms were very sore, and my neck, which had been twisted all the time, was uncomfortable.
Fortunately, the increase in arm strength was helping him, and the updraft that always existed nearby also saved him a lot of effort, allowing him to persist until now.
He couldn't even find a chance to move a little, because there were so many vultures circling at this height that at any moment, several vultures were gliding past behind him.
This state lasted for at least three hours.
Xu Xin was about to become irritable.
God, aren't these vultures boring?
Although vultures can indeed glide for several hours, they neither hunt nor migrate, they just keep circling around the giant stone pillar peaks...
What on earth are you doing...
Hurry up and rest!
Hanging on this rock wall for several hours, not daring to move, and still highly tense and concentrated, anyone would be a little irritable.
Damn it, if he were on the ground, he wouldn't be afraid of these ordinary vultures!
Well, I will be afraid, after all, this group of vultures is not much inferior to the mutated creatures, just like the brown bear I encountered before. Even if it does not mutate, it is naturally powerful and is one of the most powerful birds.
But at least, if he were on the ground, he wouldn't be as embarrassed as he is now...
At this time, suddenly, a violent updraft blew upward from the bottom of the giant stone pillar peak, which refreshed Xu Xin's spirits.
Finally, the environment has changed!
Under the influence of this violent updraft, the vultures hovering around Xu Xin finally took action other than spinning and gliding.
A vulture took advantage of the wind and adjusted its body along with the updraft, which was much stronger than before. The powerful airflow immediately drove its body to climb into the air!
The other vultures behind him also made the same move, one by one riding the wind and climbing upwards. In the corner of Xu Xin's eyes, they flew one by one above the raised stone wall and into the giant stone pillars. middle.
Thank God, these vultures are finally flying away!
If he was allowed to hang here for a few more hours, he was afraid that he would not be able to help but fight with these hairless guys!
Tens of seconds later, all the vultures circling around the stone pillar peak flew into the stone pillar peak.
With the enhanced hearing, Xu Xin was surprised to find that these vultures actually lost their sound completely after flying into the giant peak. In his ears, these vultures seemed to have suddenly disappeared without a trace.
After waiting for three hours, Xu Xin did not move, but just listened quietly.
All around, there was only the sound of wind.
Sure enough, there was no sound at all!
This group of vultures seemed to have disappeared out of thin air!
There should be no danger now, right?
Xu Xin twisted his stiff neck, grabbed the rock wall with his left hand, and moved his extremely sore right hand, then moved his left hand again, and then regained his strength slightly, and his arms gradually regained their vitality.
It was really hard to hold on to the rock wall for three hours without moving.
He immediately began to climb as fast as he could.
Who knows when those vultures will come out again, so hurry up!
When he was still twenty meters away from the protruding rock wall, he stretched out his left hand and used the telescopic hook.
The claws shot out quickly and penetrated into the protruding rock wall, and then the sharp claws bloomed and were firmly fixed there.
Xu Xin contracted the rope and released his right hand holding the rock wall. The hook immediately pulled him upwards.
He was getting closer and closer to the rock wall. The moment he was about to hit the rock wall, he reached out and grabbed the edge of the protruding rock wall. With a strong effort on his arms, he turned over and stepped up.
Phew, it feels so good to step on the ground.
He began to look around.
As he expected, there was a space for a foothold in the middle of the approximately 800-meter stone pillar!
This space is about four meters high and recessed about ten meters into the giant peak. It seemed as if someone had made a dent in the middle of the stone pillar giant peak, dividing the entire giant peak into two parts.
The diameter of the entire stone pillar giant peak is about two hundred meters. This area is only recessed for ten meters, which will not affect the stability of the entire giant peak.
The vulture that had just flown into it had completely disappeared. If it weren't for some vulture feathers emitting green light falling on the ground, Xu Xin would have almost doubted whether the vultures that had tortured him for several hours were his hallucinations.
Standing at a height of 800 meters, Xu Xin looked towards the ground and towards the jungle.
In this white desert, the green canopy of his tree house was basically covered with white snow, with only a little bit of green exposed, which was not conspicuous at all.
Most of the fog has dissipated, and with the help of blue-level goggles, several other giant stone pillar peaks in the distance are clearly visible.
He was at least halfway up the climb now and would get his answer when he reached the top.
No longer looking down, Xu Xin began to walk around the circle in the giant peak, while observing the details in this area.
How did those vultures disappear just now?
Teleport? Was he teleported away by the purple-black vortex?
But no matter whether the purple-black vortex appeared or disappeared, there was always a loud sound. He did not hear the strange sound of the portal.
Xu Xin couldn't understand and could only continue walking around the giant peak.
"Huh?"
At the forefront of his sight, close to the inner rock wall, a touch of dark copper-colored metallic luster caught Xu Xin's eyes.
He took a few steps forward quickly, and the full view of the metallic luster appeared in his eyes.
Treasure chest?
Copper treasure chest?
How long has it been since he saw the treasure chest?
Is it finally here again?
