Chapter 1723: Chapter 750: Suffering Casualties
In the cornfield, everyone stopped and listened carefully.
“It seems like there’s a sound!”
The blond-haired man started the conversation. He actually didn’t hear anything; he said this just to cater to Lin Baici, wanting to establish a good relationship.
“I didn’t hear anything!”
Huang Cheng grabbed the hem of his jersey and wiped the sweat off his face.
This action revealed his stomach.
Lin Baici glanced at it; for a God Hunter, this Real Madrid fan’s physique was sowhat lacking in self-discipline.
“What’s your level? Dare to compare hearing with God Lin?”
Old Luo mocked, then smiled at Lin Baici.
Unfortunately, Lin Baici didn’t even glance at him.
“Dear nephew, what should we do?”
Wu Shitong didn’t hear any strange sounds, just the rustling as the wind blew across the farmland, moving the corn, but he believed Lin Baici’s judgnt.
Ma Xiaoyun was very nervous, squeezing into the crowd, especially wanting to get close to Lin Baici.
Lin Baici activated Passing Ears Recitation, enhancing his hearing further.
“It sounds like the sound of birds flying!”
Lin Baici looked up, but the corn grew too high, blocking the view.
“Cut down the corn nearby!”
Lin Baici ordered while imdiately starting to work.
The Bronze Sword was very sharp, and Lin Baici slashed horizontally through those cornstalks. They fell to the ground like soldiers lined up for execution.
“Get moving! Get moving!”
Old Luo urged.
Everyone quickly got busy.
Soon, they cleared a small piece of land.
“Look over there!”
The waitress shouted, pointing to the west with her right hand.
Everyone looked up.
In the west, beneath the clear blue sky, a large flock of birds flew toward them, so many that they ford a dark curtain.
“It’s crows!”
Zhong Shuman saw clearly: “And they’re really big!”
The flock of crows was flying rapidly.
“Shall we find a place to hide?”
The girl with the lip ring was a little scared.
“Easy to say, but where to hide in this deserted village?”
Qi Fentou had seen nothing but cornfields all the way here, no buildings.
“God Lin, these crows aren’t coming for us, are they?”
The waitress still had so small hope.
“Stop looking, run quickly, dive into the cornfield.”
Lin Baici instructed as he turned and rushed into the cornfield: “Try not to make any noise, try to keep your body low.”
Everyone imdiately followed.
But to be honest, although this many crows flying together was sowhat creepy, it wasn’t panic-inducing. After all, in everyone’s mind, how much harm could so birds cause?
If it had been a pack of hungry wolves, fewer than a dozen, people would have already fled desperately.
[The Straw Crow is coming, you won’t escape. Once they find you, they won’t leave until they’ve eaten your flesh and blood clean!]
Eater God comnted.
Lin Baici’s face darkened slightly, and he imdiately stopped.
“What’s wrong?”
Zhong Shuman noticed Lin Baici’s expression was off.
“Quick, cut so corn and pile it up, hide inside, quick, quick, quick!”
Lin Baici urged, already bending down to work: “Yintong, you pile these up!”
“You get this nervous over a few crows?”
Huang Cheng thought Lin Baici was making a fuss over nothing.
“Too much nonsense, do as God Lin says!”
Old Luo also thought Lin Baici was too cautious, just making trouble for people. But Lin Baici had the say as part of Nine Provinces Dragon Wing.
Everyone imdiately started cutting the corn.
Although the tools were not handy, the strength of a God Hunter was sufficient, endurance good enough to keep swinging the machete.
“God Lin, take a break, I’ll do it!”
Zhong Shuman took a few steps forward, passing Lin Baici. She took a deep breath and exhaled.
Divine Grace Activation, Whirling Wind Flowers!
Whoosh!
Zhong Shuman’s exhaled airflow visibly grew large and thick, like a wind blade, cutting forward.
Swish swish swish!
The corn was cut, leaving a space as big as a basketball court.
“Quick, pile up the cornstalks!”
Lin Baici saw the Straw Crow was almost here.
He quickly piled up a corn stack and crawled inside.
“Brother Lin, can I join you?”
Li Yintong looked at Lin Baici longing.
“No!”
Lin Baici refused.
The cleaner and waitress knew of Lin Baici’s fa and that their boss esteed him highly, so they did as told.
Just as Lin Baici crawled into the corn stack, the two of them also managed a small pile and went inside.
Wu Shitong and the two bodyguards weren’t slow either, the three hiding together.
In such dire tis, the two bodyguards were still looking after Wu Shitong, evidently because Haijing’s richest man had paid a huge price.
“Is this fine?”
Ma Xiaoyun looked at a small pile of cornstalks in front of him, not wanting to continue.
The hot and muggy weather, plus he had run this far in the cornfield; Ma Xiaoyun was already exhausted and really wanted to be in air conditioning eating ice cream.
Heck!
Why did I encounter such bad luck?
I really shouldn’t have gone into that bar back then!
“Hide quickly!”
Lin Baici saw the Straw Crow arriving: “Before they leave, don’t make any noise, or don’t bla for being unkind!”
Listening to Lin Baici’s threat, everyone’s hearts tightened, and they scrambled into the corn stacks.
Crash! Crash!
A dense swarm of crows flew overhead, so many that they covered the sky, appearing like a black tide surging.
