The most intense reaction came from the strange bird above, which was restless and frantic.

The rope always breaks at its thinnest point, misfortune always finds its way to the unfortunate, and now even drinking cold water will cause problems—the flare has gone out…

Darkness descended again, and Cheng Yu and the mercenaries stopped firing their guns; no one wanted to draw attention to the situation at this moment.

However, Wu Xie is always different from others. For example, even without making a sound, he can still attract the human-headed bird.

A bird with a human head landed nearby. Seeing the bird, which was taller than him, staring intently at him and the fat man, Wu Xie quickly tore off the gauze in his hand and waved it at the bird. The bird bared its fangs, and Wu Xie thought he could even see its saliva. It didn't react to Wu Xie's blood.

Immediately afterward, Wu Xie began waving his wounds at the other birds. Fatty wanted to interrupt his spellcasting, thinking that this move probably wouldn't work, and that his blood probably wasn't as effective as Xiao Ge's or Ling Zi's. However, he didn't dare to speak, afraid that if he made a sound, the birds would attack them again. He didn't care much; with the miniature gun Ling Zi had given him, he could still handle the three human-headed birds. Even if more were attracted, he could run away. But he still had Wu Xie in front of him, and protecting one person would be a bit of a struggle.

The result was that the people around them seemed to be getting more and more eccentric...

These human-headed birds landed without making a sound, hovering around Wu Xie's location like statues, as if they had gained sentience and were plotting something.

Just as he expected, a bird circled in the sky, and a black figure fell from above. Wu Xie bravely shone his flashlight over and found that it was one of A Ning's men. The man was not quite dead yet, staring at Wu Xie with bulging eyes and muttering something in his mouth. Blood was gushing from his neck. It was no exaggeration to say that he died with his eyes wide open. Then, one more... two... seven or eight more corpses began to fall from the sky.

Shunzi... Shunzi was carrying his father on his back, and there was a deep wound on his face, probably from being scratched by a human-headed bird. Wuxie felt somewhat guilty towards Shunzi, as he felt that Shunzi didn't need to get involved at all, and that it was they who had dragged him onto this ship.

The last body, the one that wasn't killed by the human-headed bird and was even somewhat rotten, was thrown to the ground and scattered like mud. It was Lingzi's body, and it had actually been moved over as well.

The human-headed bird clearly hadn't expected its body to turn out like this. The other birds must have sensed it and moved slightly, but since it was found, they didn't do anything to fix it.

"Damn it! Isn't that Ling Zi?" The fat man was about to step forward when Wu Xie stopped him.

"What's done is done. Even if you rush in now, you'll just be food for these birds. We're currently isolated and helpless, with so many birds gathered around us. We might as well turn our anger into strength and think about how to escape. Do you have any more bombs? Give them a couple and blow them to smithereens to a pulp to avenge Lingzi."

Upon hearing this, the fat man's face suddenly contorted into a grimace. He completely forgot what expression he was supposed to make, and stammered, "No, that's all. You didn't say you wanted to keep any! Besides, how much could that woman, Aning, possibly give me? That thing is so thick; how can I be sure of success without using some heavy stuff..."
