cannon fodder attack

Xi Ye followed the route in his memory and swam lightly in the sea. When he came out of the water again, he saw the familiar ship docked on the shore not far away.

"It seems that this is the right place." Xi Ye exhaled and accelerated to swim in that direction.

There are still footprints of the soldiers on the island. Xi Ye boarded the ship, and after converting the fish tail into legs, he found the clothes specially prepared for him by Xiomi and put them on, and then walked along those The footprints followed.

On the road, he encountered vines that entangled him, and Xi Ye kicked him in disgust.

The traces left by Xiomi's army scattered somewhere, and it seemed that they must have been in a hurry, otherwise they wouldn't have been so messy.

Xi Ye frowned, looked around, and when he saw another footprint in front of him, he walked over directly.

After looking down carefully, Xi Ye was sure that this footprint was not Xiomi's. According to the size and depth, the owner of this footprint should be a thin adult man.

Is there anyone else on this island?So what happened not long ago that caused the army to be dispersed?

Xi Ye got the answer in an instant.

The army was attacked by unknown creatures, and they were birds.

Xi Ye walked back to the pile of messy footprints just now, he squatted down, stretched out his hands for comparison, and after a while, he stood up, clapped his hands, and ran towards a certain direction.

……

Siomi rolled around on the ground, narrowly avoiding the long beak of the big bird. He grabbed the beak and threw the big bird to the ground forcefully. He took out the blade from his boot and wiped it at the other's neck.

Although this one was solved, there were no less than ten big birds staring at them all around.

Max also struggled to kill a big bird before panting: "Admiral, everyone is almost overwhelmed...it can't go on like this!"

These birds were flying in the air to attack them, but it was very difficult for them to hit each other. This fierce battle exhausted their physical strength rapidly.

Xiomi wiped the blood splattered on her face casually, and said in a deep voice: "Their weak point should be the eyes, so hit them!"

When Xi Ye came, there was a scene of people and birds fighting in front of him.

The bird's overall feathers were dark red, and it was huge. I don't know what kind it was. Its claws were sharp, and its long beak was like the tip of a needle.

Reminiscent of the fine vines he met before, Xi Ye couldn't help but "tsk".

What the hell is this island.

A big bird found that there was another stranger on the field. It raised its head and let out a long roar, then bent over and rushed towards Xi Ye.

Xiomi noticed the abnormal situation here, and after he saw it clearly, he shouted anxiously: "Get out of here!"

There were two big birds holding him back, making him unable to move away. Siomi became impatient, grabbed one of the bird's claws and threw it to the nearby tree. The big bird succeeded. The tree was broken, and after falling to the ground, I lost my breath.

Xi Ye was paying attention to Xiomi all the time, and he was relieved when he saw that the other party still had enough strength to support him. As for the bird coming towards him, he just rubbed his wrist expressionlessly.

At the moment when the paw swung towards him, Xi Ye used skillful strength to hold the paw and firmly pressed the big bird to the ground. With the other hand, he directly grabbed its neck, twisted it slightly, and it was still on the ground. The struggling bird stopped moving.

Siomi, whose heartbeat almost stopped suddenly when she saw that the big bird was less than one centimeter away from Xi Ye, seemed to be frozen at this moment, staring blankly at the young man who moved his wrist slowly. .

Max had just escaped from death under a bird's beak, and when he looked up, he saw this shocking scene: "...Mom."

Probably because Xi Ye shot too cleanly, all the big birds were attracted by him.

Seeing that the young man became a thorn in the eyes of the big birds, Xiomi's throat tightened. He just wanted to help when he saw the young man dodging wave after wave of attacks with ease.

Max was only interested in admiring Xi Ye's heroic appearance, but he didn't take into account that there was a big bird behind him preparing to attack him.

By the time he realized it, it was too late for him to hide.

This was the clearest time Max felt the breath of death.

He was a little desperate, could it be that he was young, unmarried and without children, was going to die young?

A lazy and deep voice suddenly sounded beside my ears: "Bend down."

Max subconsciously obeyed the other party's words.

With a roundabout kick from Xi Ye, it happened to hit the long beak of the big bird, and the slender beak broke in response. The big bird was kicked out, and after falling to the ground, it curled up in pain.

The rest of the big birds stared at Xi Ye vigilantly and angrily, but none of them dared to attack him.

Xi Ye looked at them with an indifferent expression: "I know you can understand me, if you don't want to die here, get out now."

The big birds looked at each other unwillingly, they howled a few times as the last threat, and then flapped their wings and flew into the depths of the woods.

Max came back to his senses and stammered, "Thank you, thank you."

Xi Ye squinted at him: "You're welcome."

Xiomi ran over and staggered, Xi Ye hurriedly supported him: "...are you okay?"

Siomi shook her head: "I'm fine, I can hold on."

Max barely stood up straight, and after seeing the corpse of his companion next to him, he limped over.

"Mike, wake up."

"Hingren, Yingren..."

Max pushed several soldiers who were lying motionless in succession, and finally fell to the side, covering their faces with bowed heads.

The surviving soldiers all lowered their heads, with sadness on their faces.

Siomi opened her mouth to say something, but finally looked away.

It was his dereliction of duty not to protect the soldiers under him.

The bloody post-war scenes made the atmosphere depressed for a while.

Xi Ye was silent for a while, then said softly, "I'm sorry, I should have come earlier."

Before Xiomi could speak, Max stood up and gave a military salute to Xi Ye.

Xiomi shook her head: "You are our benefactor."

The death of a companion is commonplace for soldiers, especially those who have been in the field, but that doesn't mean they don't feel bad.

Because commonplace does not mean habit.

Xi Ye changed the subject: "I saw another kind of footprints on the ground at the previous place. Didn't the survey team find anyone on the island?"

"It's more of an instrumental survey, and it's normal not to know there are people on the island," Siomi explained.

He calmed down, took out a small long cylinder from his cuff, and threw it towards the open space beside him.

The fiery red fireworks rose into the air, gradually blooming the exclusive logo of the Mordot Empire.

Siomi signaled everyone to listen to him: "Because of the attack of these birds, our team was dispersed, and everyone waited here for half an hour, waiting for the rest to join."

"Yes!"

After the dissolution, everyone leaned against the tree to rest in twos and threes.

Xiomi was leaning against a big thick tree with her back, and she was thinking about something with her downcast eyes.

Xi Ye held his arm and rolled up his sleeves. Sure enough, there were many scratches, and the deepest wound was still oozing blood.

Xi Ye's tone was not very good: "Don't you know how to bandage it?"

Xiomi twitched his hand uncomfortably, while the other hand was picking at the bark erratically, his eyes dodged: "It's just a small injury."

Xi Ye almost laughed out of breath: "Then how far do you think the serious injury will be?"

Xiomi thought about it seriously, and replied: "Break your arms and legs."

"..."

Good guy.

Xi Ye didn't bother arguing with him anymore, as conditions were limited, he directly picked some local herbs to stop the bleeding, and treated them briefly.

Xiomi looked at the young man's profound side face quietly, and was in a daze for a while, her heart suddenly became quiet.

Half an hour later, many people returned to the army one after another halfway through.

Ready to go again, they decided to walk along that strange footprint first, wanting to see who has the ability to live here besides these various strange creatures on the island.

Xiomi was perfecting the map in her hand as she walked.

Xi Ye knew that this was the other party's task this time, so he didn't bother him, but just helped him kick out things that might trip over him.

After walking for about ten minutes, the footprints were covered and they lost their direction.

Max sighed, "Will people really live in this kind of place? Could it be some kind of monster that looks like a human being?"

Siomi was also a little unsure.

Xi Ye was very sure of his own judgment, the footprints were definitely human.

Just when everyone was so disappointed that they were about to go back the same way, Xi Ye suddenly grabbed Xiomi: "Wait."

Xiomi immediately tensed up: "What's wrong?"
