Due to the distance, it is impossible to accurately determine the specific number of birdmen, and it is roughly estimated that there should be thirty or forty birds, or thirty or forty people, and it is difficult to determine whether they are humans or birds.

These birdmen don't move very fast, and the reason why they don't fly fast is because most of them are under heavy loads, and at least half of them carry the corpses of their wounded companions and their dead comrades.

Whether a population rescues injured companions and buries the corpses of its companions is an important criterion for judging whether it has social attributes, and the fact that these birdmen have not abandoned their companions indicates that they have reached a certain level of civilization and are more inclined to humans than birds.

Judging by the speed of the birdmen's movements, it would take them about three minutes to fly here, and within those three minutes, Wu Zhongyuan had to make a decision about whether to make contact with them head-on, or to secretly track them to find their settlement.

The second method is safer, as long as you go to their colony, you can get a more detailed understanding of them, but the second method also has the disadvantage, that is, if you are spotted by the birdman during the tracking period, the birdman will see it as an enemy, and once the first impression is formed, it is difficult to reverse it, and it is not easy to gain their trust again.

After deliberation, Wu Zhongyuan chose the former and decided to make head-on contact with these birdmen, in order to show his brightness and openness, and he showed his sincerity in the front, if the birdmen were hostile in return, then he would not have any scruples about what he did next.

These birdmen will definitely speak, but not necessarily in the common language of this time, which must be taken into account, and how they should communicate in case the language is not understood.

After a while, the group of birdmen flew closer, but they did not land with their wings, but hovered from above, and the reason why they did not land was because they saw Wu Zhongyuan below.

Wu Zhongyuan looked up and observed them at close range, these birdmen were not wearing clothes, swords, sticks and axes and other weapons were in their hands, their weapons were obviously different from common weapons, the materials were not the same, and the shapes were also different.

This group of birdmen is half male and half female, and the number of women may be more than that of men, but it is difficult to determine the gender of birdmen, because female birdmen do not have female mammalian organs, but they are slightly smaller than males, and their facial features are softer than males.

In addition, most of the birdmen are injured, mostly bites and scratches, and a few of them have scorched feathers and gray faces, as if they have been burned by fire.

Just as Wu Zhongyuan was considering how to express kindness to these birdmen, one of the male birdmen spoke, although the pronunciation was different, but it was still the common language at this time, "Who are you?"

Seeing that the birdman could speak, Wu Zhongyuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, what he was most worried about was that he would not be able to communicate with the other party, as long as the birdman could speak, the next thing would be easy.

"I'm Wu Zhongyuan, the patriarch of the Bear Clan. Wu Zhongyuan said that he did not call himself the Yellow Emperor because the Yellow Emperor was just a false position, and many people did not know what the Yellow Emperor was, but the bear clan was one of the three major tribes in Middle-earth, and since these birdmen spoke a common language, it meant that they were not completely isolated from the world, and they must know the existence of the bear clan.

His guess turned out to be correct, and most of the birdmen had shocked expressions on their faces after reporting their origins, and at the same time they all looked at the two females.

These two women look very similar, their facial features are very beautiful, they should be siblings, about twenty-five to thirty years old, in addition to the weapons in their hands, they also carry a rattan bag on their backs, which is a kind of slanted shoulder bag woven from rattan, the rattan bag is not big, and it should contain emergency medicines and other things.

The two young female birdmen tilted their heads and exchanged glances, and one of them spoke, "How can a bear-people wear armor?"

"My mother is a bird-people. Wu Zhongyuan said, his left hand reached out, silently recited the incantation to cast a thunderous rage, and a thunderbolt of lightning fell from a hundred steps away.

Casting spells can not only show his status as a wizard, but also show his Taixuan cultivation, which alone can prove his leadership in the bear clan.

The same is the wrath of thunder, the aura cultivation is different, the power of thunder and lightning is also different, the loud rumbling noise and splashing wood and stone make those birdmen secretly frightened.

After confirming his identity, the woman raised her hand to salute, "Hello Patriarch Wu, I am Li Shangshang, the patriarch of the Yu Clan, and this is my sister Liu Shangshang, she is also the patriarch of the Yu Clan, what is the matter with you?"

Modern people often use hello to greet each other, but hello is not a special word for modern people, and there is also this word at this time, which is a more polite expression.

"Two patriarchs, be polite," Wu Zhongyuan raised his hand to return the salute, and instead pointed to the corpses of those humanoid monsters and said, "These monsters once attacked me, I learned that they appeared here, so I came over to find out, may I ask Patriarch Li, why did you fight with them?"

Li Shangshang didn't answer immediately, and after hesitating, he turned his head to look at his sister, "You take them first, and I'll have a few words with Patriarch Wu." ”

They are both sisters, the two have the same name but different surnames, hearing Li Shangshang's words, Liu Shangshang showed worry, Li Shangshang saw her hesitation, and raised his hand at him, "You go to wait for me a hundred miles away in the north." ”

Liu Shangshang nodded, and led a group of birdmen to flutter their wings and fly north.

Wu Zhongyuan doesn't know much about the Yuren, but it's a pity that the old blind man is not here, the old blind man is well-informed, and he should know their origins.

After everyone left, Li Shangshang gathered his wings and landed, "Patriarch Wu, I can't hide it, we fought with the devil to fight for the leopard dragon axe, but unfortunately, we failed. ”

Although Wu Zhongyuan was concerned about the whereabouts of the leopard dragon axe, he wanted to know the origin of those humanoid monsters, "Why does Patriarch Li call them devils?"

Wu Zhongyuan asked such a question, which meant that he didn't know about this creature, and Li Shangshang asked suspiciously, "Patriarch Wu doesn't know where they come from?"

Wu Zhongyuan shook his head, "Please also ask Patriarch Li to clarify his doubts." ”

Li Shangshang casually explained, "The devil is the puppet of the demon race, they were originally human beings, and they became like this after being occupied by the demons, and they were already dead the moment they were seized by the demons, so they were called devils." ”

"They come from the Demon Dao?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"Yes. Li Shangshang nodded.

Wu Zhongyuan nodded slowly, although he had seen this creature many times before, but he didn't know their true origin, but he had always suspected that this creature was the same thing as the Western devil, and now it seems that his guess was correct, this humanoid monster is the Western devil, but the name devil was not given to it by Westerners, but it first came from the East, and then spread to the West.

When many people hear the devil, the first thing that comes to mind is Western mythology, which is completely a kind of cognitive obsessive-compulsive disorder caused by narrow knowledge, just like the word dad, many people think that it came from the West, but in fact, this word is first in China, and it is older than dad and father.

"Why does Patriarch Li know so much about them?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

Li Shangshang shook his head, "This is the first time we've seen real devils, and I don't know much about them. ”

"Since it's the first time you've seen them, how do you know what they are?" Wu Zhongyuan asked, not a suspicious question, but a doubtful question, he believed that Li Shangshang was telling the truth, but he didn't know why she said that.

"The ancestors once followed the emperor to pacify the six realms, and the ice temple of the Yu clan has a detailed record of the six realms, and one of the icicles records the situation of the demon clan, which has a description of the devil. Li Shangshang said.

"Do you have a detailed record of the situation of the Six Daos?" Wu Zhongyuan's eyes lit up, to this day he didn't know much about the other five Dao, they were all fragmentary clues.

Li Shangshang hesitated for a moment and nodded, but then said, "Patriarch Wu, forgive me, the Yu Clan doesn't like outsiders to disturb, the Cold Ice Temple is a holy place for the Yu Clan, and it is strictly forbidden for outsiders to enter." ”

"Understand, understand. Wu Zhongyuan nodded, each tribe and race has its own rules and customs, and it is understandable that the Yu clan does not like to be disturbed, he is not afraid that the Yu clan has rules, any rules can be broken, as long as the time is ripe, or the reward is rich enough.

"My clan is still waiting for me, if Patriarch Wu has nothing else to do, I will leave. Li Shangshang said.

"Please also ask Patriarch Li to stay for a while," Wu Zhongyuan hurriedly stayed, "The five seals are about to disappear, does Patriarch Li know about this?"

"I know, this is also the reason why we are looking for the Leopard Dragon Axe," Li Shangshang said, "It is a weapon used by the ancestors, it is very miraculous, and the ancestors also left a way to find it, but unfortunately the devil appeared at a critical moment and destroyed the holy relics, making us fall short." ”

"Ruined?" Wu Zhongyuan frowned.

Li Shangshang sighed, "Eight hundred miles away in the southwest, there is a fire crater, the leopard dragon was forced into the fire by the devil, my people ventured to rush in, but half a minute late, the leopard dragon has fallen and the flames have melted away. ”

"Fell into the volcano and burned?" Wu Zhongyuan was dumbfounded, no wonder there were a few birdmen with burn marks, it turned out that they rushed into the volcano to catch the leopard dragon axe.

Li Shangshang nodded and sighed.

"The leopard dragon axe is a psychic weapon, which is not only indestructible but also replenishes the aura, and now it is a pity to destroy it. Wu Zhongyuan said.

"Yes," Li Shangshang shook his head in frustration, "The Leopard Dragon Axe contains the Nine Heavens Golden Jane, and now the Golden Jane has been destroyed, and the general trend has gone." ”

"Patriarch Li, don't be frustrated, if the Yu clan needs to practice the Qi Heart Method, I can give it as a gift. Wu Zhongyuan said that the spiritual energy cultivation of Li Shangshang and others was not high, and they did not even have blue spiritual energy, which was probably the reason why they were eager to get the leopard dragon axe.

Li Shangshang shook his head again, "Patriarch Wu doesn't know, the Xuanwen recorded in the Nine Heavens Golden Slip is the key to restraining the Five Realms, once the Golden Slip is lost, the Xuanwen will no longer be seen, and there is nothing in the world that can restrain and seal the Five Realms......"
