05 Attack of the kite people

The ships turned, the plan worked, and the stronghold rejoiced and morale rose.Haiping also felt something loose in his heart, and his overly tense limbs became a little limp and weak due to the momentary relaxation, and it was the same for many people.

But Guan Yuangui's expression was still serious.

"Shut up!" he shouted, "Shut up! Quick──"

Everyone froze for a moment, then remembered what was flying outside, quickly lowered the cannon body, and pulled the cannon carriage away from the firing port with a leash.Haiping and other soldiers in the situation room also stepped forward to help.

In the blink of an eye──

A stream of warm liquid sprayed on the back of Haiping's neck.

Then came the screams of others, and then a high-pitched cry, overshadowing all these human voices.

Haiping looked back and saw that the artilleryman standing behind him, pulling the cannon, had no head, and the blood column in the neck vein was like spring water.His head was in the sharp beak of the kite clinging to the shooting port.

Haiping was stunned for a moment, allowing the other artillerymen to push for their lives.At this time, Yuanren retracted his jaw, crushed the head, retracted his big wings, and dexterously got into the shooting hole with his whole body, leaning towards the place where there are many people.When it stretched out its forelimbs, the man was hanging like animal meat on a hook, the other claw was hooked up again, and the arms were stretched lightly, a life was torn apart under these two claws──

This was the first time Haiping looked at the kite man so closely.He saw that the kite man had a human body, with limbs as flexible as an ape, but with big wings on his back, white feathers all over his body, a kite head hanging around his neck, and a sharp mouth on the kite head. ──Why White Feather?Haiping thought vaguely, such a holy white feather, look at that man's blood stained on it, how clearly the sin of cannibalism is exposed!When kites return to human form, won't they feel sick?Or have they already lost their hearts to feel the cruelty of all these wild beasts...

The other kite people also circled and descended one after another, gathered outside the shooting port, ready to come in and start a killing spree.Instead of fleeing, Guan Yuangui squeezed through the fleeing crowd, searched the gunpowder box for a gunpowder ball specially used to seal the broken circuit, lit it, and threw it at the shooting port.With a bang, the whole piece of gravel around the mouth collapsed, and the cave was instantly darkened, which also blocked the attack of the kite people.

The kite man who entered the cave early was trapped, and when he panicked, he ran amok in the darkness. Seeing that reckless shadow was about to pounce in the direction of Guan Yuangui, Hai Ping got up without knowing where the strength came from, and jumped up. He bumped into it bravely, and rolled into the corner of the rock together with Yuanren.

The kite screamed angrily. Although it couldn't see clearly, as soon as it felt someone's body temperature, its sharp claws and sharp beak slammed down indiscriminately. Backed away, a claw even pierced through his waist and abdomen, causing him to scream out in pain──

Guan Yuangui's heart went cold when he heard it.

"Light up the lights!" he yelled, "Light up all the lights──"

The artillerymen all picked up the spare torches and lit them at the same time in a tacit understanding. The cave suddenly lit up, and the eyelids of the kite man couldn't help but close tightly, so as to protect its most fragile eyes.

At this time, Guan Yuangui had already mounted the three firecrackers, and when the light came on, he quickly shot a round at the kite man's chest.

The kite man was shaken away from the sea level by the impact of the firecracker, but it was not far enough. Guan Yuangui almost ignored his own safety, approached a few more steps, and fired two shots at it. The kite man kept retreating. Before he realized what weapon he was hit by, Guan Yuangui stuffed a new firecracker, with cold eyes and a cold face, and mercilessly fired at its skull——one more shot.

Haiping looked at Guan Yuangui's figure in a daze, full of Zhang Ba's anger and murderous intent.

The kite man was beaten beyond recognition by Guan Yuangui, its kite head was just like the head it had just crushed, it opened into a ball of pink fleshy flowers.

Haiping pressed the wound, wanted to get up and go with everyone to see the corpse of the kite who deserved to be beaten into meat paste, but he couldn't stand up.He lowered his head and looked at his limbs and body—ah, he exclaimed feebly—it was all blood, blood...

He tried again, but this time he lost his consciousness along with the strength. He didn't know if he was scared out of his wits, or if it was a dying soul...

He felt that he was about to lose his eyesight and see the world, but he gritted his teeth and endured, insisting on looking in the direction of Guan Yuangui.

At least before going down to the Sea of ​​Black Void, he had to see if he was all right?That kite man was so scary, he was about to jump on him, he couldn't imagine that the kite man would have Guan Yuangui's head dangling from his mouth—it's absolutely impossible!

The white collar around his neck must be clean without any blood stains.

Then, he saw it, Guan Yuangui turned and looked at himself.

He dropped the gun in his hand.

He rushed to him.

He picked him up.

His arms were tightly and firmly encircling him, as if no external force could intervene to loosen him.

His warm body temperature melted into his sweaty body.

sea ​​level, sea level──

He kept calling his name.

What about the agreement we made?What about the promise we made──

he kept asking him.

Agreement?Is it the promise to live together?

He wants to answer: Yes, he will abide by it, yes...

But his throat was hoarse and he couldn't make a sound.

In the end, before he fell into a coma, he heard Guan Yuangui calling him until he cried aloud...

A tragic cry like a dead lover.
