Lin Tianyin looked at everything in disbelief. It seemed that there was a rain of flesh and blood in the air. The millet who was still alive and kicking just now turned into a skeleton and was thrown down by the strange birds and scattered into a pile of fragments.
Because the scene was so shocking, after a brief silence, Mirona covered her head in horror and yelled.
"ah!!!"
The strange birds didn't seem to want to disperse, Lin Tianyin bit her lip, she was also trembling with fear. Yes, this is not playing a game or watching a movie, she is standing in this world alive, and a person is killed by a monster right in front of her eyes!
"Damn beast!"
Gargaff nocked his arrow and was about to shoot into the sky. Seeing his movements, Lin Tianyin wailed in her heart, it's useless, this guy can't even shoot a rabbit! If this goes on, they're all finished before the story begins, Mirona! Use your Mary Sue halo to summon men to come out and save them!
However, miracles do not happen at such a time. Sure enough, Gargaff didn't hit anything, and a blue-headed bird had already swooped towards them from the sky. Mirona squatted down again with her head in her arms. Lin Tianyin glanced at the two teammates who seemed to be completely useless, gritted her teeth, and punched the strange bird flying towards her with its mouth wide open.
The movement of the strange bird was quite nimble, and the moment Lin Tianyin punched, it suddenly rose upwards. Lin Tianyin swung his fist in the air, and at the same time, he heard Mirona behind him yell "Be careful!"
Lin Tianyin came back to her senses, but she was still a beat behind, and another blue-headed bird rushed over from behind her, and struck Lin Tianyin's shoulder with its sharp claws as if aiming at its prey.
Gargaff quickly readjusted his bow and aimed at Lin Tianyin, but the blue-headed bird that caught Lin Tianyin fluttered its wings a few times, but did not fly up.
...
Mirona and Gargaff immediately showed stunned expressions. There was only one reason for this result—the prey was too heavy, and the bird monster couldn't fly if it grabbed her!
The bird monster kept flapping its wings, but no matter how hard it tried, the behemoth below remained motionless. Such a scene immediately made Lin Tianyin feel an unprecedented insult. She felt extremely sad and angry. In a rage, she grabbed the bird monster's foot, threw it to the ground, and punched it.
"Boom—"
She only heard the sound of a heavy hit, and the bird monster was punched in the stomach by her. The bird's blood sprayed Lin Tianyin's face, and the intestines and pieces of meat flowed all over the floor as if they had exploded. Mirona and Gargaff opened their mouths wide at the same time—is this the power of their unnamed village heroes? !
"... I can't lose either! I will avenge Xiao Le's revenge!"
Lin Tianyin's iron fist seemed to have awakened Gagaff, and he drew his bow again as if he had come to his senses.
"The biggest one seems to be their leader!" exclaimed Gargaff, "I'll shoot it!"
"Come on, Gargaff!" Mirona clenched her fists aside and cheered, as if she focused her hopes on Gargaff, which fully fits her role as the heroine of Mary Sue—she can only cheer.
In fact, Lin Tianyin did not expect this villager who had never hunted prey at all. She was still thinking about how to get rid of these monsters. But a miracle happened, Gargav pulled down the bowstring, and the arrow flew straight out, hitting the blue-headed leader's eyes directly.
"quack!!"
The huge strange bird let out a scream, flopped a few times and fell from the sky in an instant. Seeing this situation, the three of them were taken aback for a moment, and then almost without any hesitation, they rushed forward together and started punching and kicking around the big monster bird.
"There is a flaw!"
"Oh yeah yeah!!"
The leader of this blue-headed bird was still covered with scales, but it still died quickly under the beating of the three people. The blue-headed birds who lost their leaders circled a few times in the air, and then quickly dispersed like birds and beasts. The valley, which was still full of killing atmosphere just now, finally fell silent. The three of them were panting heavily, unable to recover from what happened just now.
"Xiaomi strangled to death... shall we take his bones back?" Mirona looked at Lin Tianyin anxiously, as if waiting for her decision.
"No, we can't go back. If Mr. Miller knows that Xiaomi has been strangled to death, he won't be able to survive." Lin Tianyin really didn't want to go back to the village so much, so she casually found a reason, "Let's bury him. Little Miller certainly doesn't want Mr. Miller to know that he is dead now... We must work together for Little Miller's sake!"
"Woooo... Poor Little Miller..."
Mirona was moved to tears by Lin Tianyin's words, and Gargaf nodded in agreement: "That's right, don't be sad, we will definitely defeat the devil and avenge Miller!"
Although this was not something the Demon King did directly, the blame was still on his head. All in all, at the beginning of the adventurous journey, the only brave man with a sword in the team died... Lin Tianyin didn't feel too sad because he didn't know Xiao Le well. After the three of them dug a hole and buried Millet, they turned their attention to the blue-headed bird again.
Mirona swallowed nervously, with an unknown light shining in her eyes.
"I heard that the feathers of blue-headed birds are high-end clothing materials, and they can be sold at the market for a good price..."
Gagaff's eyes were very shaken: "What are we... going to do..."
"Of course, if that's the case, what are we waiting for?!" Lin Tianyin rolled up her sleeves as she spoke, and the three of them rushed forward and plucked all the hair from the blue-headed leader's body.
After harvesting a pile of loot and pushing away the boulder, the three of them continued on the road. The loss of a teammate, Mirona and Gagav, were so emotionally hurt that neither spoke a word. It may be that they smelled like blue-headed birds, but there were no wild animals or monsters to attack them during the climb. But Lin Tianyin soon began to feel hungry. After a brutal battle, she was exhausted very quickly, so when she climbed to the top of the mountain, she finally couldn't help calling out to the two sad teammates.
"Shall we eat something before we go?"
After hearing Lin Tianyin's proposal, the two of them hesitated for a moment, then looked at Lin Tianyin with puzzled eyes and said, "But it takes a day to walk from our Wuming village to the next town, and we only brought a box of lunch. I'm going to be hungry, if I don't persist until the last moment, I won't have the strength to go down the mountain."
"..."
But Lin Tianyin was almost out of strength to walk, so despite the persuasion of the two, Lin Tianyin sat down under the tree and untied the package behind her back. However, just as she was putting the package on the ground, she suddenly heard the voice of Sasha from the bushes above her. Lin Tianyin raised her head in doubt, and suddenly saw a monkey jumping out of the tree, jumped down from the trunk with great agility, snatched the package on the ground, turned around and ran away.
The three of them froze for a moment, then finally came to their senses.
In addition to the lunch box, the healing scroll is still in that package! !
"Thief!!"
Lin Tianyin ran after the monkey, Mirona and Gagaf followed closely behind, but the monkey was surprisingly agile, running extremely fast, and the distance between the three of them was getting wider and wider. Panting after chasing, Lin Tianyin couldn't help shouting to Gagafu behind him: "Quick, shoot the monkey down!"
"This can't be done." Gagaff shook his head, firmly refused, "I won't harm harmless animals."
"Is it harmless to steal our things?!" Lin Tianyin said angrily, "Are you going to tell me that you have been unable to hunt your prey because you don't want to hurt them?!"
Lin Tianyin originally yelled casually, but Gargaf was slightly taken aback, then smiled embarrassedly and said, "Well, I didn't want others to know."
"..."
Lin Tianyin twitched the corners of her eyes, and Mirona immediately looked at Gagaff with a respectful look and sighed after hearing the words: "It's amazing... What a respectable spirit."
Don't give up on treatment, okay? !
Lin Tianyin complained in her heart, why is there no normal person around her. The most tragic thing is that the monkey who snatched their package didn't know where it went. The money and other things in the package were trivial matters, but it would be troublesome if the scroll that recorded the spell of great recovery was lost, and they had to catch the monkey no matter what.
Damn, is there no other way...
After completely losing sight of the monkey, the three stopped, Lin Tianyin seemed the most disappointed, and Mirona asked Gargaff with a worried look: "Is there really no other way?"
"Not necessarily." Gagav took a breath, looked at the town that was gradually visible at the foot of the mountain, and said, "I think that monkey was ordered by someone, and there is a red rope tied around its neck. Trained into the mountains to rob travelers."
"That's such an idiot!" Lin Tianyin stomped her feet angrily when she heard this, "We must catch that thief! No, a robber!"
"We can first go to the nearby towns to ask for clues." Gargaff analyzed, "The owner of the monkey has to deal with the stolen things. He must have an underground trading channel. Then someone in the town must know about this."
"Hmm..." Lin Tianyin felt that what Gagafu said made sense, this villager was smarter than she imagined. She began to look at Gagaff again. This young man with light blue short hair parted in the middle looked a little more reliable. Although this person was never mentioned in the original book, it might be feasible if this continues...
Even if there is no prince, if they don't get involved with the original protagonists, maybe their team can defeat the devil
Thinking about it carefully, it’s not impossible, as long as she finds someone who can use a sword to join her, she can kick off the prince and form a team by herself. Lin Tianyin instantly felt that she saw hope for the future, so she decided to go to the next town to join her. To recruit new teammates, at least find someone to fill in the vacancy of Xiao Le...
