HCB Chapter 64 Battle, Ghost-Faced Eagle Owl
Chapter 64 Battle, Ghost-Faced Eagle Owl
"How terrifying, looking at these eyes for too long instills a strange sense of fear."
After Cheng Feng's eyes returned to normal, Huo Ling patted her chest and said with lingering fear.
Chen Wenjin's expression was also unpleasant, and she said solemnly:
"Cheng Feng, your eyes are very powerful, but they're also quite sinister. Are you sure you're okay with that?"
"Don't worry, I got these eyes from somewhere with my own skills. If I can get them, I'm not afraid of them having any problems."
Cheng Feng wasn't worried at all. If they couldn't even suppress the little bit of power that dissipated after the Snake God's death,
My great Shennong clan cannot afford to lose face like this.
Seeing that Cheng Feng understood the evil nature of his eyes and was quite confident in it, Chen Wenjin didn't say anything more.
The two women warmed themselves by the fire for a while, dried their hair, and then went back to their tent to rest.
Cheng Feng sat by the fire, occasionally adding dry branches to keep the fire warm.
Occasionally, mosquitoes would fly nearby, but they would be frightened to death by the smell of blood emanating from Cheng Feng's wounds, making it an excellent insect repellent.
Before they knew it, it was already dawn. Cheng Feng sat in front of the fire, holding the Heavenly Official Seal of the Tomb Raider in his hands.
After he handled it for a while, the small seal has become somewhat reflective.
'Waaaaah... Waaaaah...'
Just then, a sound like a child's wail, yet also hoarse, came from the woods.
Cheng Feng put away the Heavenly Official Seal and took the Zhanlu Sword in his hand.
After getting up, Cheng Feng walked to the two women's tent, held his sword, and stared intently at the primeval forest behind them.
The sound came from near and far, and there were quite a few things making it, making the quiet night unusually noisy.
"This should be the call of some kind of eagle owl. These birds are usually large birds of prey, and it would be very troublesome if you were targeted by them."
Chen Wenjin stepped out of the tent and came to Cheng Feng's side, looking at the shadowy forest path in the distance.
"Are you woken up?"
Cheng Feng turned to look at Chen Wenjin beside him. Under the starlight, her fair face still showed a hint of drowsiness.
Chen Wenjin shook her head.
"I was thinking of taking over your night watch. If everything is alright, you can go and get some rest later."
As the two were talking, there was a commotion coming from Huo Ling's tent.
"Wenjin, you were also woken up by this wailing sound!"
Huo Ling rubbed her eyes and came to the two of them.
The three exchanged a helpless glance. None of them had expected that the first half of the night would be fine, but a party would break out in the woods in the second half.
The sound, like a child's wail, was melodious and long, easily waking someone from their sleep.
"The sound is getting closer. Are they coming this way?"
At this moment, Chen Wenjin noticed that the voice was getting louder and louder, and she frowned slightly as she spoke.
Cheng Feng clicked his tongue and said angrily, "Indeed, they are moving this way. These things are probably also the guardian beasts of the King of Xian's tomb."
"This tomb is truly outrageous. How afraid was King Xian of his tomb to be dug up? He went to such lengths to do that."
Thinking of the dangers they had encountered along the way, Chen Wenjin felt a deep hatred for the Prince Xian.
“They’re very close. You should hide in the tent. These things are very fast and your reactions won’t be able to keep up.”
Without any cover, an ordinary person is no match for a large bird of prey.
Their sharp claws, combined with the speed of their dive, can easily shatter a person's skull.
"Okay, Cheng Feng, be careful."
"Keep these two swords for self-defense. The dagger won't be fatal to this large bird of prey."
As he spoke, Cheng Feng took out two one-handed swords inlaid with gems from the imaginary space.
Chen Wenjin and Huo Ling each took one, inwardly marveling at Cheng Feng's nouveau riche nature.
These two swords could easily fetch a million dollars.
The men with their swords hid in the tent together, and almost at the same time, a dark figure rushed out from above the woods.
After circling once above the camp, it suddenly swooped down.
Under the cover of darkness, it almost blended into the night, and in the blink of an eye, a pair of sharp claws came scrambling toward Cheng Feng's head.
Oh,
With a flash of cold light, the Zhanlu Sword struck the giant eagle owl, whose arm span was nearly three meters, and it crashed to the ground with a mournful cry.
A line of blood gradually appeared on its abdomen, and finally it split open completely, with its internal organs spilling out onto the ground.
A foul stench also permeated the camp.
"What did this thing eat to grow up like this? It smells like rotten food!"
With a dismissive wave, Cheng Feng moved a few feet to the side.
The next second, a large dark shadow rose from the woods, covering the sky and reaching the camp.
Cheng Feng looked up at the flock of eagle owls above, gripping the Zhanlu sword tightly in his hand.
A hawk-owl attacked from behind Cheng Feng, as if sounding the horn of war.
Countless eagle owls rushed toward Cheng Feng from all directions, their movements swift yet orderly.
One after another, they did not cause any chaos due to their quantity.
Cheng Feng stomped his foot hard, shifting several meters to the side, and during the movement, he slashed down the eagle owl that had ambushed him from behind.
Several eagle owls swept past Cheng Feng's original spot, while the rest flapped their wings and lunged at him again.
Cheng Feng's eyes turned completely dark as he tried to banish the eagle owl from his sight.
But an unexpected event occurred: the eagle owl, enveloped by the spatial barrier, managed to evade the exile force thanks to its speed.
Cheng Feng's overconfidence in Ghost Eyes led to a minor setback; he was unable to dodge in time and his arm was scratched by the eagle owl's sharp claws.
"Cheng Feng!"
The two women looking outside from inside the tent saw that Cheng Feng was injured and couldn't help but cry out in concern.
This exposed their location, and some of the eagle owls lunged at the tent.
In just a few moments, a large hole was torn in the tent.
"Very well, today I will slaughter you all to the last man!"
Filled with rage, Cheng Feng ripped off his tattered clothes.
Red totem patterns, like flames, began to appear on his body, spreading as the patterns progressed.
His wound began to scab over at an alarming rate.
Then, Cheng Feng rushed towards the flock of eagle owls like lightning, his figure elusive.
Stepping on the Seven Star Steps of the Mountain Moving lineage, he dodged the eagle owl's attack while continuously reaping lives with Zhanlu.
The eagle owl population is dwindling at a visible rate.
The camp was filled with disgusting entrails, and the stench could be smelled from kilometers away.
Chen Wenjin and Huo Ling, using the tent as a cover, also killed two eagle owls that had attacked them with their swords.
While the other eagle owls were distracted by Cheng Feng, Chen Wenjin pulled Huo Ling and quickly ran to another tent.
At this moment, all they could do was not cause Cheng Feng any trouble. As long as they protected themselves, they chose to trust Cheng Feng for everything else.
"Come on, you bunch of hairy beasts!"
With a roar, the flame totem on Cheng Feng's body became even clearer, as if it had truly begun to burn.
At this moment, Chen Wenjin and Huo Ling seemed to see the ancestors of humankind in the primitive era.
They were clad in simple animal skins, and powerful beasts fell at their feet.
It established humankind's position at the top of the food chain.
