That night, Lin Huang slept peacefully. He had no idea if it was because of Xue Luo's tea or if it was something else.
It was almost nine in the morning when he woke up the next day.
Lin Huang ate something casually and cleaned up. He then summoned Bai again and began his journey.
Xue Luo had repaired his Life Wheel and Lin Huang could feel that his Life Light was dissipating at a much slower rate. His physique seemed to have improved as well.
With the help of Robust, Lin Huang felt that his physique was on par with an iron-level rank-1 Reserve Hunter.
Following behind Bai, their speed of climbing the snowy mountains was much faster.
In less than four hours, Lin Huang had climbed more than 700 meters and arrived at an altitude of 5,500 meters above sea level.
Just when Lin Huang was about to take a break and eat something to accumulate his energy, he saw a flock of white birds flying towards him and Bai.
Lin Huang could tell from afar that it was a flock of White Feathered Geese, a mutated species. They usually fed on fish and would not provoke larger creatures. However, they were bold and were not afraid of humans.
Under normal circumstances, Lin Huang would not be bothered by the White Feathered Geese. However, he became more alert as he recalled what Xue Luo said earlier.
The White Feathered Geese were huge. Their wingspan was more than five meters. It would not be a problem for them to fly while holding onto humans. Since the White Feathered Geese were flying towards him, it was highly possible that they were being controlled by the Transcendent monster to help it hunt for food.
"Bai, dig a hole!" Lin Huang shouted at Bai.
Hearing the instruction, Bai did as he was told.
Lin Huang did not want Bai to dig a hole as the journey was not too steep. He wanted to eat something on the mountain and rest for a while before continuing to climb.
However, it seemed like the White Feathered Geese were not friendly. If he did not find a safe place to rest, he would not be able to fight back if he was attacked by the White Feathered Geese. They were at an altitude of more than 5,000 meters above sea level. Lin Huang did not have wings. He would definitely die if he fell.
As soon as Bai dug a hole in the rock wall, a flock of White Feathered Geese pounced on it.
Lin Huang cursed inwardly. As expected, they were coming for the two of them.
He climbed onto the rock wall with his left hand and took out the GrayEagle17 with his right hand. He turned around and shot at the geese that were charging at him.
Most of the White Feathered Goose were iron-level monsters. However, they were not small in size and had strong defensive abilities.
The special bullets of the GrayEagle17 could only cause damage to the feathers on the surface of their bodies, and were unable to cause any substantial damage.
The White Feathered Geese that were attacked felt pain and immediately dodged to the side. However, they soon realized that they were not injured, so they pounced on them again. The flock of White Feathered Geese soon discovered that the power of the gun in Lin Huang's hand was limited and did not pose a threat, so they were not afraid at all.
Above Lin Huang, Bai had already entered the hole. However, Lin Huang was still a few meters away from him and he could not move anymore.
A few of the White Feathered Geese flapped their wings and tried to grab Lin Huang with their claws. As they were on the steep rock wall, Lin Huang had no space to dodge. He could only watch as a few of the White Feathered Geese tried to grab him with their claws.
Just when a few of the White Feathered Geese were about to grab Lin Huang, a bloody glow flashed in the sky. A few of the White Feathered Geese were beheaded and they fell down the cliff.
Lin Huang felt something tighten around his waist. When he looked down, he realized that his waist was wrapped in a circle of bloody energy that was pulling him towards the hole.
Lin Huang hesitated and chose to trust Bai. He then let go of his hand that was holding onto the rock wall. As soon as he let go, his body was pulled back into the hole by a strong force.
As his body touched the ground of the hole, Lin Huang finally felt relieved. Indeed, he was not good at fighting on the rock wall as if he was walking on thin ice. Now that he was standing on the ground again, he felt that the world was his.
"Thanks for earlier." He stood up in the hole and nodded at Bai to express his gratitude. He then walked towards the hole.
The flock of White Feathered Geese had not left yet. Seeing Lin Huang poking his head out, a few of them wanted to squeeze into the hole.
Lin Huang took a few steps back and looked at them calmly.
The hole was a two-meter-wide square. With the size of the White Feathered Geese, it was impossible for them to squeeze into the hole.
However, the flock of White Feathered Geese seemed to have gone crazy as they tried to attack the hole again and again. They failed again and again, but they did not care at all.
Lin Huang ignored them at first as he planned to leave when the flock of White Feathered Geese were tired.
However, after two to three hours, the flock of White Feathered Geese did not seem to want to leave. Instead, they called for their friends and the number of White Feathered Geese increased.
"Damn, am I blocked by a flock of White Feathered Geese?!" Lin Huang could not help but recall that he had heard of people being bullied by White Feathered Geese on Earth. There were many videos on the internet which he found funny. He did not expect that the tables had turned and he was now blocked by a flock of White Feathered Geese.
Lin Huang was having a headache. The GrayEagle17 could only cause limited damage to the White Feathered Geese and he only had four explosive bullets left. It was not enough. Although Bai could kill the White Feathered Geese with his Blood Power, the furthest attack range of his Blood Power was less than 20 meters even though he had leveled up once.
After waiting for another three hours, the sky was getting dark. Lin Huang peeked out and saw that none of the hundreds of White Feathered Geese had left.
"It seems like they are going to fight me to the death. How am I going to complete the assessment if they keep blocking the way?" Lin Huang was thinking of other ways while eating the jerky.
He looked into the depth of the cave and was excited. "Foothold No.7D121 is at the foot of the mountain on the other side of the Snow Mountain. If I continue digging through the cave to the other side of the Snow Mountain, wouldn't I be able to reach the foothold from the other side of the mountain?!"
Just when Lin Huang was about to ask Bai to carry out his plan, the White Feathered Geese outside the cave started screaming in panic.
Lin Huang walked to the entrance of the cave and poked half of his head out.
Hundreds of White Feathered Geese were running away as a giant black-feathered bird flew down from the sky.
Lin Huang gasped when he saw the giant bird. It was a Black Cliff Sparrow, a giant species.
It was more than 30 meters long and had a wingspan of 50 meters. It was a giant beast that was much bigger than Tyrant.
Judging from the size of the Black Cliff Sparrow, it was probably a monster that was about to break through to bronze-level.
The flock of White Feathered Geese ran away but the Black Cliff Sparrow did not chase after any of them. Instead, it stepped on the top of the cave where Lin Huang and the rest were at with its sharp claws. It poked its head out of the cave and looked inside.
It happened to make eye contact with Lin Huang who was looking outside …
