Tomb raiding: Trying to become a little painter

Quack quack! Quack quack…

Like a swarm of tiny black whirlwinds, unidentified black objects swirled wildly, plummeting from the treetops at speeds exceeding human vision. A series of splattering sounds echoed, followed by a series of whooshing noises as the first victim appeared…

"what!"

"What are these things? They poked my face! And my neck... Ahh! And my eyes! Ahh, it hurts so much! Help! Young Master Jincheng! Young Master Jintong! Help me, please save me!"

A smartly dressed young man, who had been following the crowd, looked up when someone shouted "Look up!" and then, to his dismay, a black shadow suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

What happened next was beyond the man's control. The dark shadow darted down, and then something sharp pecked at the man's head. His soft neck began to ache, and his shoulders, chest, back, and other areas started to hurt as the shadow passed by. Bright red liquid flowed down from the painful areas...

"What's going on? What is that... all black feathers, a yellow beak, it looks like a crow! But how could a crow grow this big?"

Although Huo Jincheng was usually uneducated, he still knew the common sense that was necessary. In addition, he had enjoyed raising birds for a period of time, so he knew many bird species at the flower and bird market. Therefore, when the dark shadow kept flying over the shopkeeper, although it was moving very fast, he could still make out what it was in a blur, but he couldn't be sure and could only make a bold guess!

"Crows? Jincheng, are you sure you're not mistaken? What crow is as big as an owl? Don't be ridiculous! These strange birds are quite fierce at pecking people, let's grab our gear and drive them away!"

Huo Jintong was also a member of the Huo family who led the team. However, their team had been traveling in the long desert for many days when they suddenly encountered Huo Jincheng's team. After discussing and coordinating, the two decided to cooperate and go down into the tomb together. But they didn't expect that they would encounter these strange black birds not long after entering the rainforest. He was so frightened that he quickly retreated and hid behind his men, took out his gun, and prepared to attack at any time.

"I'm not mistaken! These strange birds are crows, but I don't know why they turned out like this. Those sharp beaks are really something; they can peck right through a person's skull!"

"Everyone, be careful!"

Huo Jincheng is different from Huo Jintong. Although he spends money like water and seems like a spoiled brat, he is a second-generation rich kid. Spending money is like water to him. Friends at the same level are all like that. If he does something that doesn't fit in, he won't be able to survive in Beijing.

Moreover, Huo Jincheng is different. Huo Jintong is impulsive and does everything according to his temper, but Huo Jincheng is two-faced and clever. If you don't spend more time with him, you might be easily fooled by him.

"Go! Shoot down one of those crows so I can take a look!"

At this moment, Huo Jintong, who was holding a gun, nudged the guy in front of him with the butt of his gun and gave instructions.

"Yes, Young Master Jintong!"

boom! boom! boom!

boom! boom! boom!

In an instant, the sound of bullets whistling through the air filled the woods, startling a flock of birds into flight...

Quack! Quack! Quack…

More and more crows flew down from the treetops, and gunshots rang out continuously. Some shots were fired into the sky, while others were fired to help the group deal with the crows. Unfortunately, the bullets killed quite a few crows, and the crows that fell to the ground and died were covered in scarlet, foul-smelling blood. The stench of blood grew stronger and stronger, attracting more crows from the distant sky to join the attack on the group.

"what!"

"Oh no!...Run...run! My head...ah!"

Suddenly, many swiftly moving black shadows in the crowd seemed to possess intelligence, dodging the bullets fired from the guns held by the humans... Incidentally, these rather large black crows seemed to have found a way and began to fiercely attack the wrists of the people in the group.

Every peck hits its mark, leaving a gaping wound from which blood drips uncontrollably…

The Huo brothers, Huo Jincheng and Huo Jintong, with Huo Jincheng in charge, left their trusted men behind, while the temporary recruits on the perimeter continuously drew the crows' attacks... Gradually, the figures and shadows fell, but due to the difference in numbers between the two sides, the wind gradually began to shift to one side...

The dark shadows in the sky gathered more and more, and the fighting became more and more ferocious... Even though the two Huo brothers had the skills to protect themselves, they were both pale and looked bad in the face of the dark mass in the sky.

Quack! Quack...

Just as the two brothers and their men were retreating back the way they came, the flock of black crows in the sky did not give them the chance. Beams of black light swooped down and rushed towards the group of people who wanted to escape. At that moment, Huo Jincheng, who was just retreating, suddenly stumbled and fell in the direction from which the crows were swooping down.

Thud! The figure fell to the ground.

When Huo Jincheng faced this sudden change, all he could think about was endless rage.

He clearly didn't fall backward; his feet were firmly planted. It's just that someone suddenly pushed him hard, causing him to lose his balance and fall to the ground.

Who is it?! Who wants to harm him?!

quack!

The black crow swooped down on Huo Jincheng, its yellow beak poised to peck at his head. But just then, a gunshot rang out, saving Huo Jincheng from the deadly attack.

A large black raven fell to the ground in front of Huo Jincheng, bleeding profusely…

"Huo Jincheng! Are you alright?!"

"Huo Jintong, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and help your brother up!"

A clear-voiced girl in the distance roared angrily toward them.

Huo Youxue's team was not originally going to take this route, but since they had just entered the rainforest and were only a few hours apart, and had rested along the way.

Huo Youxue and her group found a safe place to rest in the rainforest. They were enjoying their meal when gunshots from the other side of the forest attracted their attention, which led to the current situation where the three members of the Huo family met on three separate occasions.

What Huo Youxue didn't expect was that the first challenge they faced upon meeting was fighting against the strange birds flying in the sky.

"Huo Youxue, come quickly! Come and help us!"

We'll talk about other things once we're safe. After all, we all share the same surname!

When Huo Jintong saw Huo Youxue leading the team again, his face regained some color, and he immediately called for reinforcements.
