Chapter 1705: Rescue in Passing

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After disposing of those vermin from the Clear Sky Faction, Qiao Mu naturally summoned Qingluan in high spirits to carry her back to the Lava Mountain Range.

Qingluan gave a cry; however, just as it reached the foot of the mountain, they saw a menacing sight.

Two black, gigantic zombie birds of unknown origin were attacking a caravan that was traveling through Qiqi Mountain.

The two zombie birds’ heads were as big as two-thirds the size of Qingluan.

Their wings had long lost all their feathers, with only a bit of scattered rotting flesh still clinging on to them.

At this time, the two zombie birds had already caused casualties to the caravan with their attack.

The women and children were only able to back away while screaming in terror.

The leader was a middle-aged man. He had been planning to lead this caravan to Wengka City, but who knew that they would get attacked by zombie birds before they could get past Qiqi Mountain.

It’s not like their group hadn’t encountered any filthy creatures like zombies before, but the two zombie birds this time were so huge that they weren’t able to cope with them in time.

The two zombie birds dove down from the sky so fast that it practically blinded them.

Two women were paralyzed on the ground in fear and simply couldn’t flee.

Just as one of the zombie birds was about to rip off her arm, Qingluan’s cry pierced through the air.

A pitch-black arrow shot the zombie bird’s claws, startling the zombie birds so much that they let out a raspy cry and flapped their wings to get away.

Qiao Mu shot five arrows in a row from her crow-repeating crossbow. The firepower was so great that she could shoot down another four or five zombie birds, let alone two!

There were a lot of women and children in the caravan. They had probably handed over a portion of their supplies to the caravan for protection in order to get to Wengka City.

However, most of them probably didn’t expect that they wouldn’t even get the chance to enter Wengka City alive just as they were about to reach it.

Qiao Mu pressed down on Qingluan and leaped off its back.

The two zombie birds were at their last gasps as they lay alongside the mountainous path, with only their wings flinching.

Qiao Mu cut to the chase and pulled out a dagger to dig out the cores from the two zombie birds’ brains.

The remaining people in the caravan just watched her like this, their complexions pale and their lips quivering.

For some reason, they couldn’t help but sigh with emotion when they noticed how adept she was in digging out those cores.

She was so young, yet her face was expressionless. It made people shiver just from looking at her.

The leader quickly walked over to Qiao Mu and respectfully cupped his fists. “Esteemed lady, thank you for saving our entire caravan.”

If Qiao Mu hadn’t helped out on her way, no one in their caravan would have survived.

Qiao Mu merely nodded at him nonchalantly.

Frankly speaking, she had only stopped because she noticed at a glance that these two zombie birds had cores in their brains.

As for saving them, she had only done it in passing.

That’s why it wasn’t that important to Qiao Mu whether these people thanked her or not.

“Miss, we are from the Prosperous Riches Mercenary Group. This, is just a little something to show our respect…”

Qiao Mu was stunned. She automatically shook her head when she saw the small bundle the leader was trying to hand her. “I had only done it in passing. You don’t need to give me this.”

The people in these caravans were in pretty bad shape and didn’t look wealthy. She didn’t want to exploit them.

“Accept it, Miss.. This is to show our Prosperous Riches Mercenary Group’s gratitude.”
