Chapter 736 Bluebird

Under the guidance of the old man, Bai Ye and the soldiers stepped into an unprecedented strange space. The cave at the end of the passage is like a door to another world, pulling them from the edge of reality into an unknown realm. The light in the cave does not come from torches or gems, but from the naturally formed fluorescent moss on the cave walls. They flicker with an inexplicable rhythm, adding a bit of mystery and uneasiness to the dark space.

"Where...where is this?" a soldier asked in a low voice, with unconcealable shock in his voice.

Bai Ye didn't answer. His eyes were attracted by a huge altar in the center of the cave. The altar was carved from an unknown black rock, and its surface was engraved with complex totems and spells. Each stroke seemed to contain ancient and powerful power. On the top of the altar, a radiant sphere was suspended in the air. It emitted a soft and warm light, which was in sharp contrast with the surrounding dark environment, and seemed to be the only hope in this darkness.

"Look, up there..." Another soldier pointed to the edge of the altar, with a hint of panic in his voice.

Bai Ye looked in the direction of his finger and saw a circle of strange sacrifices placed around the altar: dry branches, colorful feathers, and the remains of various creatures he had never seen before. What's even more disturbing is that there seems to be a figure in the corner of the altar, kneeling there quietly, with his back to them, performing some mysterious ritual.

"We have to be careful." Bai Ye warned in a low voice, and at the same time signaled the soldiers to stay vigilant and slowly approach the altar.

As they approached, the light on the altar seemed to become brighter, and the figure began to move. He slowly stood up and turned around, revealing a face covered with complex lines. His eyes were deep and hollow, as if he could see into the human heart.

"Who are you? Why are you disturbing my ceremony?" The figure asked in an ancient and majestic voice. The voice echoed in the cave, making people feel chilly.

Bai Ye took a deep breath, tried to stabilize his mind, and replied: "We are lost travelers, no offense intended. We just hope to find a way home."

However, the figure ignored Bai Ye's explanation and continued to whisper in a strange tone, as if making some sort of summons. Suddenly, the light on the altar burst out, illuminating the entire cave like daylight. Bai Ye and the soldiers closed their eyes involuntarily. When they opened them again, the scene in front of them had changed drastically.

The sphere in the center of the altar exploded, and a powerful wave of energy spread out, shaking them almost to the point of losing their balance. Immediately afterwards, a huge blue two-headed birdman soared out of the exploding altar. Its wings covered the sky and the sun. Each feather shone with electric light. Its eyes were like burning flames, full of anger and killing. desire.

"What kind of monster is this?" a soldier shouted in horror, with despair in his voice.

Bai Ye's heart trembled, and he knew that they had fallen into an unprecedented crisis. He quickly pulled out the bolter from his waist, which was the only heavy weapon they had on this trip, hoping to gain a chance of survival in front of this unknown enemy.

"Get ready to fight!" Bai Ye shouted loudly and pulled the trigger at the same time. The bolt gun made a deafening roar, and bullets containing explosive power flew towards the two-headed birdman.

However, the two-headed birdman did not seem to be afraid of these attacks. It easily knocked down the flying bullets with one wing, while the other wing flapped the strong wind, blowing the soldiers around. Its two heads simultaneously let out deafening screams, and the sound waves were like sharp blades, cutting the air, making Bai Ye and the soldiers feel pain in their eardrums, and almost lost their hearing.

"Everyone, focus your firepower and attack its eyes!" Bai Ye commanded loudly. He understood that only by attacking the two-headed birdman's weaknesses would it be possible to defeat it.

Upon hearing this, the soldiers adjusted their postures and pointed their weapons at the eyes of the two-headed birdman. However, the two-headed birdman seemed to realize their intention and began to roll flexibly in the air, avoiding attacks from all directions.

The battle fell into a stalemate, with Bai Ye and the soldiers constantly adjusting their tactics, trying to find a weakness in the two-headed birdman. However, every attack was resolved by the two-headed birdman with astonishing speed and power, as if there was some kind of insurmountable gap between them.

As time passed, the soldiers' physical strength gradually depleted and their morale dropped to freezing point. Bai Ye watched his comrades around him fall one by one, his heart filled with powerlessness and despair. He knew that if this continued, they would all eventually die.

"We can't give up!" Bai Ye gritted his teeth and shouted loudly, trying to awaken the fighting spirit in the soldiers' hearts, "As long as we still have breath, we can't let this monster succeed!"

After hearing this, the soldiers cheered up and launched another fierce attack on the two-headed birdman. However, the two-headed birdman seemed to be enraged, and it launched a more violent offensive, and every attack was full of fatal threats.

Just when Bai Ye felt desperate, he suddenly thought of an idea. He quickly took out a flare from his backpack, which was the emergency communication tool they carried on this trip. It was originally used to call for help from the outside world in times of danger. But now, he decided to use it to create a brief blind spot to give the soldiers a glimmer of hope.

"Cover me!" Bai Ye shouted, then lit the flare and threw it into the air. The signal bomb exploded in the air, emitting a dazzling light and a deafening sound, illuminating the entire cave as if it were daytime, while also temporarily covering up the movements of the soldiers.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Bai Ye quickly adjusted his position, then aimed at one of the eyes of the two-headed birdman and pulled the trigger of the bolter. This time, he did not use ordinary bullets, but replaced them with the only high-explosive bomb they carried on this trip.

The high-explosive bomb exploded the moment it came into contact with the eyes of the two-headed birdman, making a deafening sound and dazzling light. The two-headed birdman let out a shrill scream, and his entire body was torn to pieces by the force of the explosion. Finally, it turned into a ball of blue flame and disappeared into the cave.

The battle was over, but Bai Ye and the soldiers did not feel relaxed at all. They looked at each other's exhausted figures, their hearts filled with sadness and helplessness. They know that the victory in this battle is only temporary, they still have a longer way to go, and more dangers await them.

"Are we...still alive?" a soldier asked in a low voice, with disbelief in his voice.

Bai Ye nodded, his voice equally hoarse and tired: "Yes, we are still alive. But we must leave here as soon as possible and find a way home."

The soldiers nodded one after another. They understood that this was no longer a place where they could stay. They must leave this dangerous and unknown cave as soon as possible and return to their own world.

Under the guidance of the old man, they carefully passed through the maze of the cave, and every step was full of vigilance and caution. Finally, they came to a narrow exit, where there was a faint light, as if it was the only hope to the outside world.

"Let's go." Bai Ye whispered, with a hint of determination and courage in his voice.

The soldiers nodded, knowing that this was their only way out. They must move towards that light to find their own path and future.

However, when they actually stepped out of the cave, what they saw shocked them. They found themselves standing in a barren desert, surrounded by nothing but yellow sand and the scorching sun.

"Where...where is this?" a soldier asked in shock, his voice filled with despair and helplessness.

Bai Ye shook his head, his heart also filled with doubts and uneasiness. They obviously came out of a cave full of life, so why did they end up in such a desolate and desperate place?

"We...we are lost." Bai Ye whispered, with a hint of powerlessness and despair in his voice.

When the soldiers heard this, they lowered their heads one after another, their hearts filled with sadness and helplessness. They know that this adventure has far exceeded their expectations. They don't know if they can find their way home, let alone whether they can survive this unknown journey.

However, at this moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in their ears: "Don't give up, children. As long as you have hope in your hearts, you will be able to find your way home."

Bai Ye and the soldiers raised their heads in shock, and saw the old man who guided them through the cave standing in front of them, his eyes full of determination and courage.

"You...how did you know we were here?" Bai Ye asked in a low voice, with a hint of surprise and gratitude in his voice.

The old man smiled slightly, and his voice seemed to come from afar: "I have always been by your side, but you didn't realize it. Now, it's time for you to return to your own world."

After speaking, the old man slowly stretched out his hand and pointed into the distance. Bai Ye and the soldiers looked in the direction of his finger, and saw a light shining at the end of the desert. It was a light of hope, as if guiding their direction.

"Are we...are we really going back?" a soldier asked in a low voice, with a trace of reluctance and nostalgia in his voice.

Bai Ye nodded, his eyes flashing with determination: "Yes, we are going back. But this is not the end, but a new beginning. We must tell the world everything here and let them know that except us Beyond the familiar world, there are more unknown and dangerous areas waiting for us to explore.”

The soldiers nodded, knowing that Bai Ye was right. Although this adventure was full of dangers and hardships, it also allowed them to see a broader world and infinite possibilities. They must take this experience and insights with them and continue to move forward to explore the unknown future.

So, under the leadership of Bai Ye, they embarked on their return journey. Every step was filled with determination and courage, as if no difficulty could stop them from moving forward. And the desolate desert gradually faded away behind them, becoming an unforgettable memory and experience.

Just as Bai Ye and the soldiers were full of hope and preparing to return home, an ominous atmosphere suddenly filled the air. They turned their heads in shock and saw that the seemingly kind old man who had been guiding them was undergoing horrifying changes. His body expanded rapidly, his skin was covered by a thick layer of blue feathers, and his eyes became like burning flames, flashing with coldness and killing.

"What...what's going on?" a soldier shouted in horror, with uncontrollable fear in his voice.

Bai Ye's heart was also shocked, but he quickly calmed down and realized that the old man in front of him was not a human, but a monster of the same family as the two-headed birdman before. He quickly raised the grenade launcher and shouted loudly: "Everyone be careful, prepare for battle!"

The soldiers heard this and raised their weapons and aimed at the old man who was transforming. However, their attacks did not seem to work on the giant birdman monster. Every attack was easily blocked by its iron-hard feathers, and even bounced back, causing casualties among the soldiers.

"Its defense is too strong, we have to find its weakness!" Bai Ye commanded loudly, while observing the movements of the giant birdman monster, trying to find a breakthrough.

However, the giant birdman monster did not seem to be in a hurry to attack, but looked at them with a playful look, as if enjoying this cat-and-mouse game. It flapped its wings from time to time, stirring up gusts of wind, blowing the soldiers all over the place and unable to stand firm.

Bai Ye watched the soldiers around him fall one by one, and his heart was full of anger and unwillingness. He knew that they could not continue to be passive like this, and they had to take the initiative to attack in order to find a glimmer of hope.

"Everyone concentrate firepower and attack its wings!" Bai Ye shouted loudly. He noticed that although the giant bird monster had amazing defense, its wings seemed to be a little slow when waving, which might be its weakness.

Upon hearing this, the soldiers adjusted their postures and aimed their weapons at the wings of the giant bird monster. This time, their attack finally paid off. Several bullets from the grenade gun hit the wings of the giant bird monster, blasting several wounds and splashing blood.

The giant bird monster screamed angrily, and it finally realized that the humans in front of it were not lambs to be slaughtered. It began to launch a fierce offensive, and each attack was full of deadly threats. However, Bai Ye and the soldiers did not retreat. With their tenacious will and firm belief, they fought a desperate battle with the giant bird monster.

The battle lasted for a long time, and both sides paid a heavy price. Bai Ye watched the soldiers around him fall one by one, his heart filled with sadness and anger. He knew that they couldn't go on like this, and they had to end the battle as soon as possible, otherwise they would all die.

So Bai Ye made a bold decision. He quietly went around the giant birdman monster, took advantage of the opportunity when it attacked other soldiers, and quickly approached its neck. He took a deep breath, then jumped up suddenly, and pointed the grenade in his hand directly at the vitals of the giant birdman monster.

"Go to hell!" Bai Ye shouted loudly, and then pulled the trigger.

The grenade gun made a deafening roar, and a bullet containing huge energy hit the neck of the giant birdman monster. In an instant, its body was blown to pieces, and blood and feathers were scattered all over the desert.
