Ye Lingyue and Little Zhiyo had been climbing for nearly two hours when they finally reached the higher part of the mountain cliff.
Only then, a series of sharp cries filled their ears as several Three-legged Birdmen appeared.
Half humanoid and half birdlike, they bore faces quite similar to humans.
However, on their backs, they had the wings of hawks and falcons.
Due to the terrain, invaders were almost nonexistent here, so not many Three-legged Birdmen patrolled this area.
Clearly, the Three-legged Birdmen had not expected any human daring enough to enter their territory.
As they were in shock, four or five of the Three-legged Birdmen issued attacking cries.
With their sharp Three-legged Golden Hooks, they clawed towards Ye Lingyue. Unbeknownst to them, her figure flickered, and like a gecko, she slid several feet away in an instant.
The hooks struck the mountain cliff, instantly sending stone chips flying.
