It seems that he can only wait until these vultures are tired of flying and fly back before he has the chance to continue climbing.

The flock of vultures behind him were still circling around the huge stone pillar.

...There's no other way. What else can I do? Just wait.

But how long will it take?

Although these big guys seem to get tired after flying in the air for a while, big birds like vultures do not rely on flapping their wings to provide power to fly like small birds.

They can use the wind to fly with it, and even if they just spread their wings and stay motionless, they can glide in the air for more than five hours without any problem!

...He wouldn't really have to wait for hours.

Xu Xin even slowed down his breathing, fearing that the rise and fall of his chest would attract these vultures.

Don't underestimate these birds of prey. A group of a dozen vultures on Earth can devour a sheep completely within a minute. They are extremely ferocious predators.

I'm afraid that if Xu Xin is discovered, he will be attacked by everyone!

Of course, he was still wearing purple-grade steel armor, so he would definitely not be eaten directly, but Xu Xin didn't think that the purple-grade steel armor could save his life at high altitude under this group of fierce birds!

At most, let him live a little longer.

This set of armor does not protect his face, and it is normal for these vultures to peck his face. He has no way to protect his face from the vultures.

Quietly, Xu Xin hung on the rock wall, watching the movements of the vultures nervously.

In this way, a long time passed, so long that he didn't even know how much time had passed.

Because he didn't dare turn around to look at his watch.

He only knew that the blue-level fruit amplification buff on his body had long disappeared, and the sun was already hanging high above his head.

It’s already noon…

My arms were very sore and my neck was uncomfortable from being twisted all the time.

Fortunately, he had the help of his arm strength enhancement, and the rising air currents nearby also saved him a lot of effort, allowing him to hold on until now.

He couldn't even find a chance to move, because there were so many vultures circling at this altitude, so many that at any given moment, there were several vultures gliding past behind him.

This state lasted for at least three hours.

Xu Xin was about to get furious.

My God, aren’t these vultures boring?

Although vultures can indeed glide for hours, they neither hunt nor migrate, so they just keep circling the stone pillars...

What on earth is this doing...

Go up and have a rest quickly!

Hanging on this rock wall for several hours, not daring to move, and having to maintain a high level of tension and concentration, anyone would become a little irritable.

Damn, if he were on the ground, he wouldn't be afraid of this ordinary group of vultures!

Well, they are also afraid. After all, this group of vultures are not much inferior to mutant creatures. Just like the brown bear we encountered before, even if they are not mutated, they are naturally strong and are 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 moment, suddenly, a strong updraft blew upward from the bottom of the giant stone pillar, which cheered Xu Xin up.

Finally, the environment has changed!

Under the influence of this violent updraft, the vultures circling around Xu Xin finally performed movements other than spinning and gliding.

A vulture took off with the wind and adjusted its body along the rising airflow which was much stronger than before. The powerful airflow immediately drove its body up into the air!

The other vultures behind him also made the same movements, climbing up one by one with the wind. In the corner of Xu Xin's eye, they flew one by one above the protruding stone wall and into the huge stone pillar peak.

Thank God, these vultures are finally flying away!

If he was left hanging here for a few more hours, he was afraid he would not be able to resist and would fight with these hairless guys!

After dozens of seconds, all the vultures circling around the giant stone pillar flew into the giant stone pillar.

With the help of his amplified hearing, Xu Xin was surprised to find that these vultures completely lost their sound after flying into the giant peak. In his ears, these vultures seemed to have suddenly disappeared without a trace.

I have been waiting for three hours, so a few minutes won't make any difference. Xu Xin didn't move, but listened quietly.

All around, there was only the sound of the wind.

Sure enough, there was no sound at all!

This group of vultures seemed to have disappeared out of thin air!

Now, there should be no danger, right?

Xu Xin twisted his stiff neck, grabbed the rock wall with his left hand, moved his extremely sore right hand, then switched to move his left hand, and finally he recovered a little, and his arms gradually regained 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, climb quickly!

When he was twenty meters away from the protruding rock wall, he stretched out his left hand and used the retractable hook.

The hook shot straight ahead at high speed, piercing directly into the protruding rock wall, and then the sharp claws blossomed and firmly fixed there.

Xu Xin retracted the rope and released his right hand that was holding the rock wall. The hook immediately pulled him upwards.

He was getting closer and closer to the rock wall. At the moment when he was about to hit it, he reached out and grabbed the edge of the protruding rock wall. With a force of his arms, he turned over and stepped onto it.

Phew, it feels so good to step on solid ground.
