Before Qin
Luo could figured out what was going on, Chen Yun had already extinguished the
fire with mud. And the rest of the group did the same. A few seconds later,
there were no more lights at the camp ground, just the light from the moon
shining on the empty space quietly.
After the
fire had been extinguished, Chen Yun dragged Qin Luo with her and hid behind a boulder. Feng Buping, on
the other hand, hid behind a tent.
The soft
touch from his hand stimulated Qin Luo’s adrenalin. He had never had a girl
actively grabbed his hand in his entire life.
Unfortunately
she let go of his hand quickly. Placing her hand on the hilt of the sword, she
stared intently at the direction of the crying noises like she was staring at
her worst enemy.
There were
thirty something individuals at the camp site and not a peep could be heard.
Everybody was hiding in some dark corners and even their breathing was light.
As the
baby’s crying noises came closer and closer, a almost 4 meter tall giant figure
finally could be seen at the edge of the woods.
Under the
moonlight, Qin Luo could see the entire mysterious beast clearly. At first
glance it had the appearances of an odd-looking eagle, with two long cow horns
extending out from it’s head. A pair of tiny wings on it’s back that looked out
of place on its body.
The
odd-looking eagle walked toward the camp ground with giant steps as it
continued to let out that baby’s crying voices that made one’s bones chill.
This was Qin
Luo’s first time seeing a mysterious beast from Gan Yuan and didn’t find it
frightening, more a feeling of novelty, even silliness!
With a low
voice he asked Chen Yun next to him, “What kind of a mysterious beast is this?”
“This is a gu diao.” Her voice was barely
auditable, mixed with indescribable fear, “It has a very bad temperament. Do
not make any noises or actions that might agitate him, else none of us will
survive!”
Qin Luo
didn’t think much of it. These people were such cowards. Dozens of them and
they didn’t date take on this gu diao?
If we were
on earth, they would have been listed as endangered species from being hunted
and eaten long time ago…
Gu diao walked straight to the camp
ground and cocked its head as thought it was contemplating something.
“Is there a
point in hiding like this? It looks to me it has already discovered we are
here,” asked Qiu Luo, dumbfounded.
Chen Yun
said softly, “It’s picking it’s food. It doesn’t have a very big appetite; it
will leave as soon as it is full.”
Qiu Luo was
completed stunned beyond words, when it
is full?
Right at
that moment, the gu diao started to
move again. A peck behind a tent and it lifted a man with ease.
Qiu Luo
could see clearly by the moonlight, it was a man around twenty or so years go.
His face full of terror and desperation but he didn’t struggle or cry. With a
sickly pale look, he let the gu diao
threw him up in the air, and during the free fall of the body, it swallowed him
whole with its giant beak!
