Conan Rick's Investigator

Because when Qin Zhibo looked down, he saw pairs of giant bird paws stepping on the gravel ground.

This is a strange bird with a horse head, and a pair of narrow bat wings spread behind it.

In the light of the fire, you can see spots of reflection on the strange bird's body, which are smooth scales.

Qin Zhibo immediately thought of the Shantak bird mentioned by the miners when he passed by the quarry during the day. It was a strange bird with scales on its body.

Are these shattuck birds?

"Okay, now sit on them!"

"Just ride on them and you can fly to your master!"

The short-legged businessman with squinting eyes spoke in an excited tone, and his face perfectly demonstrated what "ugly" meant.

The four followers behind him, holding scimitars in their hands, left no room for negotiation.

Kuroba Kaito quickly glanced at Qin Zhibo, trying to find a way to deal with the current situation from his eyes.

Is it a fight?

Or run?

In Kuroba Kaito's mind, he definitely couldn't obey these people's suggestions and ride those huge strange birds.

Because these people are not good people at first glance, and the masters they serve are even more unreliable.

And those strange horse-faced birds, how could normal people ride on them?

I would rather fly around Tokyo on a hang glider with a hole in it than ride on one of these monsters!

But just when Kuroba Kaito was convinced that the next negotiation would inevitably break down, Qin Zhibo stood up from the felt mat with a smile.

"Since your host has graciously invited us, we cannot neglect him..."

"We accept your proposal."

what? !

Kuroba Kaito looked stunned, and was extremely shocked.

"Uncle..."

Before he could ask, Qin Zhibo extended his hand and made a soothing gesture, "It's okay."

"Since they've arranged a 'special car' to pick us up, they'll definitely ensure our safety."

"We just need to sit on it..."

Hearing Qin Zhibo's words, the corners of the slanted-eyed businessman's mouth curled up wildly, and he agreed repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes..."

Seeing this change in expression, Kuroba Kaito complained even more.

This is suspicious!

However, Qin Zhibo's eyes remained firm, and he even walked towards the group of strange birds.

These Shantak birds, like their owners, looked askance at the relatively short Qin Zhibo, looking very disgusting.

Qin Zhibo frowned slightly and came to one of the Shantak birds.

He raised his hands to support the Shantak bird's back and prepared to turn it over, but the scales on it were very smooth and it was not easy to grasp it.

At this time, a man in black pushed him from behind.

With his help, Qin Zhibo sat firmly on the back of the Shatak bird.

But when he looked down, he saw Kuroba Kaito still standing by the campfire, not knowing what to do.

“Come here…”

"Trust my judgment."

Seeing Qin Zhibo's serious expression, Kuroba Kaito felt a little touched in his heart.

Along the way, it was only through the uncle's judgment that he was able to avert danger and find a new way out.

Maybe this seemingly dangerous move is also for...

After thinking about it in his mind, Kuroba Kaito also decided to follow.

But he looked back at the luggage again. These luggage were important supplies for future adventures and he couldn't give them up.

"What about the luggage and the yaks?"

"The master has prepared everything for you..." the slanted-eyed merchant replied with a grin.

Then he urged, "Come up quickly, the master is waiting for you!"

As a last resort, Kuroba Kaito

He could only put the ancient knife left by his father in his arms and followed Qin Zhibo to sit on the same Shatak bird.

As the two sat down, the Shantak bird flapped its wings, lifting up a lot of the saltpeter on its wings.

A single shattuck can carry the weight of up to two people, and the remaining six people ride on other shattucks.

And just like that, a menacing team of Shattuck birds set off.

……

In the cold and dark sky, giant birds flap their wings rhythmically.

First they climbed very high into the sky, then flew eastward, trying to get around the gray peaks of insurmountable height.

Qin Zhibo lay as much as possible on the back of the bird, holding his hands on the smooth scales, and stretched his head out from the side of the Shantak bird, looking down.

Through the high-altitude vortex below, you can see the undulating mountains between the gray peaks.

These mountains seem very small, but they are also very difficult to walk.

Ok……

It seems that as expected, it is almost impossible to reach Leng Yuan.

In addition to having to ride a slow-moving yak a long way around, we also have to face the problem of food supplies.

However, this area is almost no man's land, and it is a cold plateau area, so there are very few animals and plants that can be found as food.

Kuroba Toichi is a dreamer and can create food out of thin air, so he can go there without any scruples

But he can't fight Kuroba Kai.

So Qin Zhibo decided to take a risk and ride on the Shantak bird that these people sent to his door.

As for why he was sure that these people's shattucks must have flown to Leng Yuan, it was because shattucks basically lived in this area.

These people can tame these evil strange birds in large numbers, which shows that they are also locals.

As for the "master" they were talking about, Qin Zhibo guessed that it was probably related to the stone monastery mentioned by the miners.

If you can take the Shantak Bird and fly closer to Leng Yuan, it would be like taking a ride.

Or, if you can directly enter the range of Leng Yuan, the situation will be different...

While Qin Zhibo lay on the bird's back and looked below, Kuroba Kaito also looked around nervously.

The Shantak birds that the six people were riding on surrounded them, trapping them in the center of the circle.

Moreover, this bird has no reins and does not seem to obey the orders of its rider.

At an altitude of 10,000 meters, Kuroba Kaito had never felt so restricted.

At this scene, Kuroba Kaito couldn't help but sigh.

It would be great if there were hang gliders...

Chapter 1256 Arriving at the secret realm of Kadasi!

Shattuck birds fly very quickly.

From the towering gray pinnacles, to the endless black foothills, to the desolate and barren white plains.

This series of scenes greatly touched Qin Zhibo's nerves.

He also didn't expect that the journey to Leng Yuan would be so long. If he went at the same speed during the day, it would take at least a month.

On the white plain below, you can see faint firelights far apart, which seem to have traces of human activity.

But Qin Zhibo believed that it must not be a normal human being.

There is a high probability that they are the same kind as the squinting merchant, let's call them "Lengyuan people".

For some unknown reason, these Leng people managed to tame the Shantak bird in order to survive in this high-altitude environment of ice and snow.

"Uncle, what should we do next?"

Kuroba Kaito also saw the fire below at this time and guessed that these shattuck birds would land soon.

If we land here, we will probably face something many times more dangerous than before.

Therefore, he planned to discuss countermeasures while there was still time.

However, Qin Zhibo tightened his lips and shook his head slightly.

This made Hei Qidou frown, feeling very puzzled.

Fortunately, the Shantak did not land on this plain, but flew quickly from low altitude to the gray granite hills at the end of the plain.

On a broad platform at the top of the hill stood a squat, windowless building made of strange stone.

The building is surrounded by a circle of huge natural monoliths, somewhat like Stonehenge.

Qin Zhibo speculated that the person living here should be the owner Leng Yuan said, and it was also the stone monastery rumored by the Yinganok miners.

As soon as the Shantak arrived near the hills, it flapped its huge wings and prepared to land.

As the altitude slowly dropped, Qin Zhibo and Kuroba Kaito saw the two attendants standing at the door of the stone monastery.

In the ice and snow, Kong Wu's powerful attendant had his arms bare, revealing the dark skin underneath.

And in the arched stone door sandwiched between the two attendants, an indescribable shadow could be vaguely seen slowly creeping.

Qin Zhibo glanced at the sky above the north. The hazy light like mist was gradually dispersing the phosphorescence emitted from the clouds.

On the one hand, this means that the cold, dead night is about to pass and day is coming.

On the other hand, it shows that the mist-shrouded world is now close at hand.

That was the white world he saw in his dream, and it was also the place known to the world as "Kadas".

It's now!

Qin Zhibo's eyes suddenly sharpened, he took out the Oath-Keeping Sword in his hand and stabbed at the Shantak bird on his crotch.

The extremely sharp sword tip only tasted a little resistance when it pierced the scales, and the rest of the sword sank into the flesh easily.

Feeling the severe pain, the wings of this abominable giant bird suddenly lost their rhythm and began to struggle wildly in the sky.

But Qin Zhibo had expected this, and had already grasped the hilt of the sword with both hands in advance, and shouted at Kuroba Kaito behind him.

"Catch me!"

Kuroba Kaito, who was sitting in the back, didn't realize what happened, but when the bird's back under his butt began to shake, he still used his subconscious reaction to wrap his arms around Qin Zhibo's waist.

The giant bird made an unpleasant sound like scratching glass, which soon attracted other Shantak birds and Leng people in the sky.

But now they were in heaven, and they couldn't do anything except scream and curse.

Qin Zhibo quickly took out the purple talisman that he had made before and pressed it on the back of Shatak Bird.

At this point, all the conditions for the Immortal Spiritual Ascension have been met.

Purple talisman paper, spells carved with the blood of spiritual creatures, sacrifices of spiritual creatures, and Leng Yuan are within the scope.

Qin Zhibo chose to board the Shatak Bird because he saw that these giant birds might

He will take himself and Kuroba Kaito to Lengyuan.

As soon as he arrived at Leng Yuan, he could immediately turn against him and offer the Shantak bird as a sacrifice.

This is a risky move.

But luckily the bet was right.
