Chapter 225: Revenge

Luo Yuan leaned in and tried to listen. There was nothing abnormal and not even a single buzz from the insects or chirps from the birds could be heard. Only the sound of the wind blowing against the remaining trees.

Since there was nothing abnormal that he could see, he started walking towards the big pit. He walked very carefully until he reached the edge of the big hole. He immediately felt relieved when he found out there was nothing inside it.

The huge pit was about 11-12 meters deep and 60-70 meters in diameter - just like a crater. Perhaps, that was what it was!

Luo Yuan saw numerous stones at the bottom of the pit. It appeared that the stones were a big rock earlier, but it was shattered and scattered around after the explosion. He hesitated for a moment and then jumped down the pit. He touched the stones and realized it they were hot, which proved his speculation was right. However, he was curious as the stones did not seem to be burnt.

When a meteor falls to the earth, vigorous burning would occur due to the friction between the meteor and the ozone layer. Most of the meteors would disappear from the friction and those which were left were the aerolites that were usually bigger with burn marks on them.

He looked up to the sky doubtfully and realized there were a lot of gray clouds. He sensed that something was wrong. He found a tiny dot that appeared to be falling from the sky. At first, it was about the size of a sesame seed; then, it became about the size of a balloon! Finally, it was as big as a basketball! A light green smoke could be seen behind the "meteor".

As the object was getting nearer and the smoke was getting thicker, it looked as though the object was on fire. Luo Yuan could easily see the patterns on the meteor now and he could smell the choking smell that surrounded it. Based on its trajectory, the meteor was going to collide near to him. He immediately responded and took a few big leaps to escape as fast as he could.

His heart was beating so fast and his blood was circulating his body at lightning speed. The strong sense of danger forced him to run faster than ever.

He dashed past many trees and a lot of information crept into his mind but he could not analyze anything now. He could not even tell if he had been running for a second or a minute. He finally slowed down after he heard the second explosion. "Boom!"

He held his knees and got up from the ground while he gasped repeatedly. After 30 seconds, he looked towards the direction of the explosion. He quickly climbed up to the highest tree nearby to check and realized his speculation was wrong! He was scared by what he just witnessed as there was a three to four km gap between the two collision points.

"What is actually happening? Why did both meteors crash at the same place even though there was no sign of a meteor shower. The only two meteors to land had crashed at the same area which is just unbelievable."

He felt suspicious and ran towards the new crater. He was surprised as both craters were similar in size and contained shattered stones that looked like pebbles.

His expression changed and he kept staring at the sky as he hoped to find some clues. He stood at the place where the meteors had crashed and did not even blink once.

The sky was the territory of flying animals and it was another world when there was no intersection with land creatures. A few small specks could be seen moving about in the sky and sometimes they moved nearer to the ground. Luo Yuan’s eyesight has been upgraded since he ate the eyeballs of the Green Hidden Creature. He could roughly identify the shape and color of one of the tiny dots.

He then calmed himself and tried to identify all of them but he did not find anything suspicious. He has been watching them for half an hour now and his eyes were tired. Just when he was about to stop, a weird tiny spot entered his vision.

It was the mutated green bird! There was something in its claws and it was trying to fly to a higher altitude. Luo Yuan could not see it clearly as it was too far from the ground. He thought it was simply catching some food. It kept going higher into the sky until it disappeared from his vision.

He realized that it was probably not a good sign. And soon, a tiny dot came back again and was falling from the sky!

"F*ck!" Luo Yuan cursed as he recalled the weird giant green bird!

"You want revenge, huh? Throwing rocks at me!?" Luo Yuan was extremely mad.

Before the end of the world, the strongest bird could fly up to 17,000 meters in the sky. However, a light green level mutated bird can fly higher than that if it overcomes its fear.

Imagine the momentum of a giant rock being thrown from 30,000-40,000 meters up in the sky. It was almost as powerful as a small nuclear bomb. Luckily, there were many big and strong trees in the area which helped to cushion the shocks, otherwise, the entire area would have been severely damaged.

He could not imagine the impact if the giant rock were to drop somewhere near the cave as the trees were all chopped down there and nothing could cushion the impact.

He could only watch the "meteor" fall and pray for safety.

The helpless feeling made him extremely frustrated. He wanted to catch the bird and kill it.

As he watched the rock falling nearer and nearer, he did not try to escape anymore. It dropped after a few minutes and it was about 30-40 km away from him.

At least he knew the accuracy of the bird was low and that was the best news yet. Besides that, he could not do much even if he continued to stay there. He knew the frequency of the attacks which were about once every 20 minutes as the mutated bird needed to find a giant rock and fly to a high altitude to drop it again. Therefore, Luo Yuan was certain that there will be no attack before he could reach the cave.

He was anxious and tried to find a solution while he rushed back to the cave. It was a very difficult challenge as they would all die if the rock falls on them.

"It was difficult to find such a good place to stay, should we move?"

Luo Yuan was very mad as it was not even a green level mutated bird. He could easily kill a light green mutated beast if it is on the ground, however, the light green mutated bird was flying in the sky which really drove him crazy.

Anyway, he is a rational person so he would not attack the bird before he could think of a perfect plan.
