Chapter 45: The Assassin

Bai Bingyu had many guesses about the "old friend" Tianyou mentioned, but she didn't even ask Tianyou. Thinking that she would see her in a while, she simply didn't ask.

Climbing up the hillside, Tianyou would occasionally turn around and look at the situation at the foot of the mountain. Unlike in the forest, there was almost nothing to block the view on the hillside, so the vision was very good. When the two were finally about to climb a crack on the hillside, Bai Bingyu was about to climb up in one go, but Tianyou called him.

"Why don't you climb?" Bai Bingyu didn't understand why Tianyou stopped. As long as he entered the crack, he could go directly to the back of the mountain. In this way, even if the pursuers chased him, they would never be able to find traces of them before climbing to the top of the mountain. However, stopping here would be as obvious as a stain on white paper, which seemed not a good thing for the two of them.

Although Tianyou was unwilling to tell Bai Bingyu who the so-called friend was, he patiently explained the reason for stopping here.

Tianyou wanted to let the pursuers below see them, and because it was only a few steps away from the crack, the pursuers would habitually think that others had climbed the crack, which would make the pursuers decide that they did not follow the wrong target.

Bai Bingyu knew that the purpose of the two of them came out was to lure away the pursuers, so he would naturally not object to this explanation.

In fact, the pursuers behind did not let them wait. As soon as Tianyou finished explaining, more than a dozen masked men in black uniforms walked out of the edge of the woodland at the foot of the mountain. The pursuers not only appeared, but also gathered together. The poisoned assassin and the person with injured shoulders had already chased after them. Now there are as many as 14 people in the assassin team. Although they were suffering heavy casualties compared with the initial number, just as the assassin captain said, the rest are elites, and their combat power has not been lost much.

Tianyou saw the assassins at the foot of the mountain, and of course the assassins below also saw them. There was really no cover on this hillside, and there was no need to hide anything on both sides. The assassins started rushing up the mountain directly.

Compared to the climbing that Tianyou used both hands and feet, the assassins were much more relaxed. These people jumped between the rocks and the speed was extremely fast, and they reached the middle of the mountain in a blink of an eye. Tianyou relied on the familiar terrain in the mountains and forests and could maintain the speed advantage, but the mountain was fighting for physical strength, so of course they could not compare with these people. However, they were almost at the crack of the mountain, and now they turned around and climbed up.

After the two entered the crack, the assassins below could not see them. However, Tianyou did not rush forward, but took out a bone whistle from the defective Wuyou bag. The bone whistle was very strange, looking like a skull made of some animal. Hanging the bone whistle around his neck, Tianyou took out a small cloth bag from Wuyou bag, and then poured out a pile of bird feathers from it.

"Ah, what are you doing?" Bai Bingyu was wondering what bird feathers were used for, but Tianyou actually grabbed the bird feathers and sprinkled them on her head.

"Don't move." Tianyou didn't explain, and quickly sprinkled a lot of bird feathers on Bai Bingyu's body, which made her head and face covered with her. Then, she took out a wooden box from Wuyou's bag. Open the small wooden box like a miniature coffin, and it contained it, which was actually mud, a kind of strange color.

Tianyou picked up this strange soil and started sprinkling it on Bai Bingyu, and Bai Bingyu didn't resist. She knew that Tianyou was making some preparations. She didn't know the specific reason, but she chose to believe Tianyou.

After sprinkling the soil, Tianyou collected the things and said, "I offended you." Suddenly, he held Bai Bingyu's hand, and ignored her resistance and pulled her forward.

Bai Bingyu struggled a little at the beginning, but found that Tianyou was pinching her tightly and stopped moving. She knew that Tianyou was not taking advantage of her, so there must be a reason for doing this.

The crack on the top of the mountain is not long, only about 200 meters. After all, it is close to the top of the mountain, and the width of the mountain is limited.

Tianyou delayed some time for Bai Bingyu to pretend, and the assassins climbed the mountain very quickly, so when the two of them just ran to the exit of the crack opposite the mountain, the assassins here also happened to climb the crack.

Tianyou looked back at the assassin leader who appeared opposite the crack, then turned around and pulled Bai Bingyu and jumped out to the left. The two of them disappeared outside the crack in an instant.

"Chasing." The assassin leader gave an order and rushed out first.

The two hundred meters passage was just a few breaths for the assassins, but when they rushed to the edge of the crack, they were frozen there as if they had been hit by a fixed spell.

Opposite the crack is the other side of the mountain. The landform is no different from this side. The difference is that this side is sunny slope, which is much warmer than the side they climbed up just now.

At this time, the fourteen assassins stood at the edge of the crack, staring blankly at the sunny hillside. The mountains and fields were filled with blood-winged birds, facing the rising sun, spreading their huge wings and drying their feathers in the sun. However, because of their sudden appearance, the hillside fell into a dead silence, because all the blood-winged birds were looking back at them in a daze. Because they really couldn't figure out how any creature dared to approach their nests.

The two sides were staring at each other for more than ten seconds, but the high-level blood-winged bird located on a huge rock suddenly made a shrill and harsh sound. The sound was sharp and loud, with a sound of gold and iron, and a killing spirit. It was very clever, echoing in the mountains like thunder.

The sharp sound was like a signal. The fourteen assassins turned around and ran in unison, with a speed of three points faster than when they came. The blood-winged bird on the hillside flew up in a large area and chased after it in a mess.

The blood-winged bird is a type of winged bird with a basic level of 25 and is a high-level monster. However, the advancement ratio of winged birds is very high, so blood-winged birds of 50 or 60 levels are also very common.

The winged birds do not look like birds, but are closer to reptiles. Their heads look like dragons, without bird beaks, but have needle-shaped teeth with a beak, and there are two horns extending backwards on the top of their heads, but they do not have curves and bifurcations like dragon horns.

The wings of the winged bird are very wide and very powerful. They have sharp bone spurs on the tip of the wing, like degenerate front paws. The hind limbs are close to the eagle's claws, slender, but full of strength, and they divide the gold and split stones like decaying wood.

The winged bird has no tail feathers, only a slender tail, covered with scales on the surface, and a pair of unfoldable wing membranes at the tip of the tail, which acts as a rudder.

In general, the winged bird is more like a long-haired dragon than a bird, but because of its gorgeous feathers, it is mistaken for a bird when flying high.

But monsters are monsters. Despite their beautiful appearance, the winged bird has extremely cruel personality. They are aggressive and murderous, and often attack other monsters for no reason. They don't eat them after being killed, just for fun.

As soon as the assassins passed through the crack and were about to jump down the mountain, they felt that their heads were black. The first assassin who jumped down was caught by a giant blood-winged bird and brought it to the sky. The other assassins hurriedly rolled around and avoided the attack behind them. But when they looked up, they saw the blood-winged bird covering the sky and the sun hovering above their heads like burning red clouds, and no less than three hundred blood-winged birds had fallen on the surrounding ground.
