The interior decorations of the ship were already very old, but fortunately, the door was new and many times stronger than the rotten decorations. It was also because of this that it was not easily broken by this group of uninvited guests.
However, no matter how sturdy the door was, it creaked under the heavy impact of the birds.
Song qingxiao’s back and head were covered in sweat. If the door couldn’t stop the birds ‘attacks, the birds would rush in unscrupulously once the barrier fell. The consequences would be unimaginable.
The flock of birds was huge, and there were many of them. The strength of each bird could be seen from how they tore the strange fish apart. With her current strength, she might be able to kill two or three birds, but there was no way she could kill all of them.
Moreover, these birds had an advantage. They could fly as soon as they spread their wings and were more difficult to deal with than the fish that jumped onto the deck.
The fear that she hadn’t felt for a long time struck her again. Her heart was beating fast like a drum, and her forehead, nose, and body were covered in cold sweat.
Her eyes were fixed on the door, and the banging sounds were endless. With every knock, the door made of special materials would bulge inward.
Every second felt like a year to song qingxiao. She had no idea how long the pecking outside had been going on for. Perhaps it was because the people on the deck had all left, and the fish had also fled in the face of danger, but the birds had found nothing. After destroying the ship for a while, they finally flapped their wings and left.
The ship finally stabilized after shaking for a while.
There was no sound of fish hitting each other or birds. Only the sound of the ship was still sailing. It was unusually quiet outside.
At this time, no one dared to open the door first. Song Qing carefully released her mental power to check the situation outside. Through the door, she could no longer feel the presence of any foreign creatures. The anger that had been in her heart for a long time finally subsided.
She reached out to turn the door handle and was ready to open the door, but the door had been destroyed by the birds earlier. The door panel had been deformed, and the lock was firmly held against it. She tried several times but could not open the door.
Song qingxiao took a deep breath and stepped back. She suddenly raised her leg and kicked the protruding part of the door with all her strength. With two loud bangs, the deformed part that had been hit and pecked by the bird was kicked back a little. The tilted door recovered a little. This time, she unlocked the door and successfully twisted it open.
As soon as he opened the door, a gust of sea wind mixed with the pungent smell of bird droppings assailed his nose. The birds had already left.
Even though she was mentally prepared for the situation when the birds landed on the ship, song qingxiao still had a rough understanding of the birds ‘destructive power when she saw the broken side and mast.
There was a lot of bird feces piled on the ground. She took a few steps forward and saw the deck that was too horrible to look at.
The deck’s floor had been deformed, especially the place where she had gotten blood from the fish she had killed. It was almost turned over.
From the way she threw the fish’s corpse, the flock of birds had to fight for time to return to their rooms. It seemed like the birds were more interested in the fish than humans.
The blood of this strange fish was thick and stinky. The smell spread far and wide, and the birds might have been attracted by it.
In addition, when the birds came, the originally fierce fish seemed to have sensed danger and hid in the deep sea. Therefore, it could be inferred that the birds were the natural enemies of the strange fish.
Now that things had come to this, from the abnormal changes in the fish to the extremely fierce birds, and they were getting closer and closer to the island Mr. Zhou had mentioned, it could be imagined that the changes in these animals should be related to Mr. Zhou.
However, no matter what kind of genetic modification an animal underwent, their nature remained the same. The food chain of nature had always been tightly linked.
As she thought of this, she had an idea. Her eyes fell on the pile of bird droppings on the ground and she was about to find something to put on for an experiment.
Song qingxiao’s eyes fell on the fishing rods on the deck that had been broken by the birds, and an idea suddenly came to her mind.
If her guess was right, no matter how the genes of animals were changed, the rules of nature remained the same. If she made good use of this, this mission might not be a near-death one.
She was a little excited and looked around. From the corner of her eye, she saw a door on the side of the ship not far away was slowly being pulled open, revealing the figure of a man with a crew cut who was quiet among the trial participants.
Everyone had heard the sound of song qingxiao kicking the door open, but they were not sure if there was any danger outside, so no one dared to open the door.
They were all waiting for the first person to open the door to go out. Only when there were no attacks or screams would they be sure that the birds had left, and only then would the people hiding dare to come out.
After the crew-cut man opened the door, the sound of knocking on the door came in an endless stream, and the door was opened one after another.
The cultivators with special abilities were far more powerful than ordinary people, so they came out first.
Number seven held his injured hand, frowning as he avoided the bird droppings and walked toward song qingxiao.
The other trial-takers hesitated for a moment and also approached song qingxiao. Number six’s expression was uncertain, but he decided to follow the crowd after a moment.
Whether or not everyone acknowledged it, song qingxiao’s performance in killing the strange fish was enough to make her one of the best in this trial.
After the flock of birds passed by, she was the first to come out. She had the courage and strength, and she was also the first to discover the existence of the strange fish. Her sensitivity and observation skills were far better than others.
The danger of this trial was far from comparable to the previous two. Just a fish and a flock of birds were enough to cause a panic. There might be even greater danger in the future.
At this time, if they had a strong ally, their chances of survival would increase a lot.
“Qing Xiao.”
No. 7 greeted her affectionately, as if they had not had the little conflict a few hours ago. She also seemed to have forgotten that she had subconsciously waved the strange fish in song qingxiao’s direction when the strange fish had jumped out of the sea for the first time. She seemed to have an evil intention.
“Did you find something amiss in this mission? can you analyze it with us?”
Her face was a little pale, and her scratched right hand was still shaking. Although she had treated the wound after she returned to her room, if one looked carefully, there was still blood seeping out of the gauze wrapped around the wound.
After number seven finished speaking, everyone’s eyes fell on song qingxiao.
Number seven was quick-witted and reacted quickly. She raised this point in public with the intention of using the other trial-takers to show off her power to song Qing.
After all, this was a matter of life and death. Everyone was eager to know more about the situation on the island. At present, it seemed that song qingxiao had more information. If she didn’t say anything, the other cultivators might not be willing to let it go and would try to force her to say it..
