In a strange forest of dead trees, man-eating crows wreaked havoc, so numerous they resembled locusts during a plague; a single step could crush seven or eight.
"Help! Someone help me!"
Zhou Ya cradled her head with her left hand and wielded a torch in her right, swinging it forcefully in an attempt to drive away the man-eating crows.
Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!
The man-eating crows weren't afraid of common torches at all. They flapped their wings, dodged the flames, and lunged fiercely at Zhou Ya, their claws striking in succession.
Rip! Rip!
Zhou Ya's hemp robe was quickly torn to shreds, and her body was covered with scratch marks and dripping with blood.
Some of the bolder man-eating crows even got close to her head, incessantly pecking at it. Some aimed to peck through her skill to eat her brain, while others were keen on feasting on her eyeballs.
In just a moment, Zhou Ya's head was covered with wounds, and blood flowed freely.
