51: The appearance of the Ghost Eagle: a visual spectacle for the stars.
Isn't it just an owl? How could it be unlucky?
No matter how unlucky it is, it's still just an owl, nothing else!
Thinking of this, the fans became nervous and worried once again.
Unlucky or not, if it really starts attacking, it's the stars who will get hurt!
...At this moment, by the side of the large tree.
Ye Bai glanced at the feather in Wu Jing's hand.
"Ghost Eagle!"
"Huh? What did you say?"
Hearing this, Wu Jing snapped his head toward Ye Bai, thinking he had misheard. "Ghost Eagle? Is that what's inside?"
"What is a Ghost Eagle?"
Bai Lu looked at Ye Bai suspiciously.
"The Ghost Eagle is an unlucky species of owl from ancient times. It appears in the Great Xia Records of Ghosts and Monsters. It isn't large, but it's highly aggressive with sharp talons that can cut deep enough to see bone in a single strike."
"Although it's not extinct, there are very few left in the world; it's on the brink of extinction."
Hearing 'Ghost Eagle', Yang Mi recalled some books she had read.
"As expected of a top student from Tsinghua-Peking University, your knowledge is truly on another level. You know so much."
After hearing this, Wu Jing looked at Ye Bai. Seeing that he didn't object, he knew everything Yang Mi said was true and gave a thumbs up.
Yang Mi only smiled and said no more, but she was very nervous inside. These Ghost Eagles weren't easy to deal with; it might still be in time if they retreated now.
"Sister Mi, Brother Jing, you guys really love making a fuss over nothing. It's just an owl, isn't it? How dangerous can it really be?"
Cai Xukun couldn't help but chuckle after hearing their explanation, shaking his head at them helplessly.
"This is a Forbidden Ground. Maybe they find this place suitable for survival. We don't see them outside because they're all here. It's no big deal, so you don't need to overreact."
"You don't believe me? Then let me prove it to you."
As Cai Xukun spoke, he took the branch from the water and struck the plane hard.
Bang!
The plane made a sound, but nothing emerged from inside.
Seeing Cai Xukun's actions, Ye Bai's brow furrowed again as his gaze fixed on the plane.
He clearly heard a sound inside the plane, and it was becoming more frequent.
"Don't!"
Seeing Cai Xukun's actions, Wu Jing and Yang Mi's hearts skipped a beat. They wanted to stop him.
But it was already too late.
Fortunately, nothing came out of the plane, allowing the two of them to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Haha, look how nervous you guys are. It's just a bird. What's there to be afraid of?"
Cai Xukun clutched his stomach and laughed, pointing his finger at Wu Jing and Yang Mi.
"Hey!"
Seeing Cai Xukun laughing so loudly, Yang Chaoyue and Meng Ziyi both scolded him.
Cai Xukun immediately stopped, rubbed his nose sheepishly, and sat back down on the boat without saying another word.
In the Live Stream Room—
[He has the nerve to mock others? Who was the one scared witless earlier like a coward!]
[Exactly, he's so annoying to watch. How did he even become famous? I must have been blind to ever like him!!]
[What are you talking about? Kun Kun was just testing it out. It's their fault for being so timid and jumpy!]
[Right! Kun Kun was just trying to verify things. Is such a big reaction really necessary?]
[If your Kun Kun wants to die, don't drag my Reba into it. My Reba is innocent!!]
[Exactly! So reckless!]
The fans were all furious after seeing Cai Xukun's behavior.
While the fans were still venting their anger.
A fluttering sound came from the Live Stream Room.
Wu Jing and Yang Mi frowned. Just as they were about to say something, another sound reached their ears.
Everyone followed the sound and saw many Ghost Eagles with golden eyes, resembling owls, emerging from the dilapidated plane. They stood in neat rows atop the wreckage.
Not just on the plane, but many Ghost Eagles were also perched on the trees.
All those eyes were fixed on them, staring unblinkingly at everyone on the boat.
Round faces, large eyes, and sharp beaks—they just stared motionlessly at them... Upon seeing this scene, the pupils of Wu Jing, Yang Mi, and the others dilated in shock.
Just as the stars were stunned by the sight, a terrifying scene unfolded before them once again.
Crack, crack!!
The sound of bones grinding against each other reached their ears.
Yang Mi, Reba, Zhang Dada, and the others turned pale, cold sweat dripping as they stared at the Ghost Eagles.
The Ghost Eagles' heads turned bit by bit, like clockwork machinery, from left to right. Their heads even began to rotate a full 360 degrees with no blind spots.
Just as their heads returned to their original positions, the Ghost Eagles suddenly opened their mouths, revealing rows of sharp teeth inside.
"Wa wa wa!!!"
The sound they made was terrifying, resembling the cry of a baby. It sent a chill down to the depths of their hearts.
"Ah..."
"Brother Jing! Run, quickly!!"
The people on the boat could no longer contain their fear, and everyone began to scream.
Cai Xukun screamed the loudest of all. He hurriedly hid behind Zhang Dada, his remaining sanity telling him they needed to escape immediately.
So he turned and urged Wu Jing to row faster.
Wu Jing had already prepared to row while Cai Xukun was speaking. As soon as the words were out, Wu Jing didn't care about the direction and hurriedly grabbed the oars to start rowing.
Meanwhile, Zhang Dada and Hua Chenyu didn't care whether the water was clean or not. Fearing that the Ghost Eagles would catch up, they frantically paddled the water with their hands, as if that would increase their speed... [Holy crap! Those are Ghost Eagles? That's so f*cking scary! Brother Jing, run fast!! They're about to chase you!!]
[It's all Cai Xukun's fault. If he hadn't been acting like a show-off and hit that plane with a branch, these Ghost Eagles wouldn't have come out. I'm telling you, if my Huahua gets into danger, I'm not done with him!]
[Exactly!! If he hadn't been showing off, none of this would have happened. Now look, everyone is waiting to die!! If anything happens to my Da Mimi, I'll go to Cai Xukun's house and set it on fire!!]
[Damn it!! It's all Cai Xukun's fault. He's really going to get my Lu Lu killed!!!]
[Run, hurry!! Brother Jing, row faster! Run while they haven't caught up yet!!]
The fans in the Live Stream Room were incredibly anxious, wishing they could reach through the screen and help Wu Jing row.
It was so f*cking nerve-wracking to watch!!
...Inside the Forbidden Ground!
"Cai Xukun, it's all your fault! You had nothing better to do? Why did you have to mess with that plane?"
Zhang Dada hurriedly paddled with his hands, cursing Cai Xukun while he did so.
At this moment, Cai Xukun didn't dare to say a word, letting Zhang Dada vent his anger on him.
"Kun Kun, you've really done us in this time!"
