Chapter 1257 Shantak Bird(2/2)
No.
That's not a horse, but a bird.
Because when Qin Zhibo looked down, he saw pairs of giant bird paws stepping on the gravel ground.
This is a strange bird with a horse head and a pair of narrow bat wings spread behind it.
Against the backdrop of the firelight, you can see that the strange bird's body has speckled reflections and smooth scales.
Qin Zhibo immediately thought of the Shantak bird mentioned by the miners when he passed by the quarry during the day. It was a strange bird with scales on its body.
Are these shattuck birds?
"Okay, now sit on them!"
"As long as you sit on them, you can fly to the master!"
The short-legged businessman with slanted eyes spoke in a somewhat excited tone, and his face clearly demonstrated what "ugly" means.
The four followers behind him, holding scimitars in their hands, left no room for negotiation.
Kuroba Kaito quickly glanced at Qin Zhibo, trying to find a way to deal with the current situation from his eyes.
Is it a fight?
Or run?
In Kuroba Kaito's mind, he definitely couldn't obey these people's suggestions and ride those huge strange birds.
Because these people are not good people at first glance, and the masters they serve are even more unreliable.
And those strange horse-faced birds, how could normal people ride on them?
I would rather fly around Tokyo on a hang glider with a hole in it than ride on one of these monsters!
But just when Kuroba Kaito was convinced that the next negotiation would inevitably break down, Qin Zhibo stood up from the felt mat with a smile.
"Since your master has warmly invited you, we can't neglect it..."
"We accept your offer."
What?!
Kuroba Kaito looked stunned, and was extremely shocked inside.
"Uncle..."
Before he could ask, Qin Zhibo reached out and made a comforting gesture, "It's okay."
"Since they have arranged a 'special car' to pick us up, they will definitely ensure our safety."
"We just need to sit on it..."
Hearing Qin Zhibo's words, the corners of the slant-eyed businessman's mouth rose crazily, and he repeatedly echoed, "Yes, yes, yes..."
Seeing this change in expression, Kuroba Kaito complained even more.
This is rather suspicious!
However, Qin Zhibo's eyes remained firm and he even walked towards the group of strange birds.
These Shantak birds, like their owners, looked askance at the relatively short Qin Zhibo, looking very disgusting.
Qin Zhibo frowned slightly and came to one of the Shantak birds.
He raised his hands to support the Shantak bird's back and prepared to turn it over, but the scales on it were very smooth and it was not easy to grasp it.
At this time, a man in black pushed him from behind.
With his help, Qin Zhibo sat firmly on the back of the Shatak Bird.
But when he looked down, he saw Kuroba Kaito still standing by the campfire, not knowing what to do.
"come on……"
"Trust my judgment."
Seeing Qin Zhibo's serious expression, Kuroba Kaito felt a little touched in his heart.
Along the way, I relied on my uncle's judgment to avoid danger and find a new way out.
Maybe this seemingly dangerous move is also for...
After thinking about it in his mind, Kuroba Kaito also decided to follow.
But he looked back at his luggage again. These luggages were important supplies for future adventures and he couldn't give them up.
“What about the luggage and the yak?”
"The master has prepared everything for you..." the slant-eyed businessman replied with a grin.
Then, he urged, "Come up quickly, the master is waiting for you!"
As a last resort, Kuroba Kaito could only put the ancient sword left by his father into his arms and follow Qin Zhibo on the same Shantak bird.
As the two of them sat down, the Shantak bird flapped its wings, lifting up a lot of the saltpeter on its wings.
One shattuck can carry the weight of two people at most, and the remaining six people ride on other shattucks.
Just like that, a menacing team of Shattuck birds set off.
…
In the cold and dark sky, giant birds flap their wings rhythmically.
They first climbed very high into the sky, and then flew eastward, trying to get around those gray peaks that were insurmountable in height.
Qin Zhibo lay as much as possible on the back of the bird, holding his hands on the smooth scales, and stretched his head out from the side of the Shantak bird, looking down.
Through the high-altitude vortex below, you can see the undulating mountains between the gray peaks.
These mountains seem to be very small, but they are also very difficult to walk.
Um……
It seems that as expected, it is almost impossible to reach Leng Yuan.
In addition to having to ride a slow-moving yak around a long way, we also have to face the problem of food supply.
However, this area is almost no man's land, and it is a cold plateau area, so there are very few animals and plants that can be found as food.
Kuroba Toichi is a dreamer and can create food out of thin air, so he can go there without any scruples
But I can't fight Kuroba Kai alone.
So Qin Zhibo decided to take a risk and take a ride on the Shantak bird that these people sent to his door.
As for why he was sure that these people's shattucks must have flown to the Leng Plains, it was because shattucks basically live in this area.
These people can tame these evil strange birds in large numbers, which shows that they are also locals.
As for the "master" they mentioned, Qin Zhibo guessed that it was probably related to the stone monastery mentioned by the miners.
If you can take the Shantak Bird and fly closer to Leng Yuan, it would be like taking a free ride.
Or, if you can directly enter the range of Leng Yuan, the situation will be different...
While Qin Zhibo lay on the back of the bird and looked below, Kuroba Kaito also looked around nervously.
The Shantak birds that the six people were riding on surrounded them, trapping them in the center of the circle.
Moreover, this kind of bird has no reins and does not seem to obey the orders of the rider.
At an altitude of 10,000 meters, Kuroba Kaito has never felt so restricted.
At this scene, Kuroba Kaito couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
