Chapter 592 597. Crows Covering the Sky
"Also, there's a stink in your eyes. What's that stink?"
Han Yixiao turned his head and looked over. He always felt that this ghost fire was weird, and a sense of uneasiness arose in his heart.
"It's the stench of a rotting corpse, can't you smell it?"
Qiao Manxi was surprised. She could smell the scent that came with the wind, so why couldn't anyone else smell it?
"You really have a bad nose. It stinks so bad here that you can even smell a rotting corpse."
Lin Shishi smiled and joked. She covered her nose tightly because the stench was so bad that she felt like vomiting.
"I'm not a dog. I'm a fish, a mermaid. We are a noble species, and we possess magical powers that you humans cannot understand."
Qiao Mansi pointed at his nose proudly.
Ever since Han Yixiao heard Qiao Mansi say that he smelled a foul odor, his gaze leaped over the sea of fire and fell on the distant mountains. It was pitch black there, with ghostly shadows everywhere. It looked like a giant beast that could attack the outside world at any time.
Qiao Ziyi and Chen Yang looked at each other and involuntarily quickened their movements. When all the ghost fires carried by the wind were burned out, clusters of dark blue light were left on the ground.
That night, everyone's heart was in a rage. Sitting around the fire, no one dared to sleep. They endured the cold wind and wrapped themselves in quilts until dawn.
When the sky turned pale and the first ray of sunlight shone on the earth, everyone opened their eyes and looked towards the distant mountains.
"Listen, do you hear that?"
Lin Shishi's originally calm expression suddenly changed, and the drowsy crowd was frightened by her words and turned their heads to look over.
"I didn't hear it, what was that sound?"
Qiao Ziyi stretched his ears and listened quietly for a while, but heard nothing.
"I didn't hear anything either. I only heard the whistling of the wind."
Yu Zhiming immediately shook his head.
"Shishi, what did you hear? Stop keeping me in suspense and tell me now."
Tian Yuanyuan came over and poked Lin Shishi's waist with a curious look on her face.
Lin Shishi looked around the huge forest and frowned tightly.
"There are birds in the woods, lots and lots of them."
Han Yixiao thought of the ghost fire that floated over last night and the stench that Qiao Manxi smelled, and suddenly thought of something. At this moment, Bai Qi also looked over, and the two of them blurted out their thoughts in unison.
"crow!"
"Yes, it must be crows. The will-o'-the-wisp, the stench of rotting corpses, the sound of birds flapping their wings, it must be crows!"
Chen Yang also thought of this possibility.
Whenever people thought of a swarm of crows rushing over and pecking at people with their sharp beaks that had been used to peck at corpses, their hearts suddenly turned cold.
"Let's go quickly. We can't stay here anymore."
"Put out the fire quickly!"
Han Yixiao said this, directing Tian Yuanyuan to put out the fire, then turned and walked towards the car.
Sure enough, when everyone started the car and prepared to leave, flocks of crows flew out from the mountains and forests and flew towards them. Seeing this, everyone immediately stopped the car, held their breath, and dared not make any sound, for fear of disturbing the passing crows.
Xiao Zeli had never seen such a horrific situation. The day suddenly turned dark, and all he could hear was the flapping of wings and the cawing of crows. If he was targeted by them, he would be pecked to pieces even if he didn't die.
Just as everyone was covering their lips tightly and pretending to be dead, a crow suddenly fell from the sky and hit the roof of the car with a thud. Then one after another, crows fell down.
For a moment, the entire roof of the car kept making noises.
