"Scaly Grey Pigeon!" Jessica exclaimed, then covered her mouth and dragged William to the ground.

The pigeon, which was taller than an adult bear, did not fully emerge, except for a pair of wings and a head, which was thicker than a water tank, pecked at the remaining flesh of the hyena with great speed, and then spun around as if looking for new prey.

The eyes on the gray-yellow head had long since faded, leaving only two gaps that could not be opened, and the pair of ear holes on the side of the head had become large and deep, as if they were always catching the movement around them.

Jessica covered her mouth with one hand, lifted William's mask with the other, and covered his mouth together, lying on the ground like a long-legged quail, not daring to move.

William twisted his head in an attempt to get rid of her palm, but she squeezed her harder.

He reached out and patted the back of Jessica's hand, casting a helpless look, only to be glared back by the female knight with ten times more ferocity.

Don't cover it, this guy is deaf, okay?

William reluctantly recalled the information about the rock-scaled gray pigeon, this guy was relatively low in the third-order earth and stone type of demonic beasts, and he didn't know if it was the pangolin cheating or the pigeon was too affectionate, in short, there was such a guy who had wings, but could only drill in the soil.

The speed of the rock scale gray pigeon is surprisingly slow, and even ordinary people can't catch up on the ground, a pair of fleshy wings covered with scale armor are quite strong, but in addition to the wings, the whole body is weak, if you really meet this guy on the ground, Jessica can easily kill it alone.

But it's on the ground, and people can drill into the ground.

The rock-scaled gray pigeon can move freely underground, and those wings are not just strong, even if they are only hit by one of them head-on, a macho man of the level of the bearded cousin will die instantly, if they are slapped by two wings at the same time, one left and one right, it is estimated that there is no difference from being stabbed in the middle by two heavy trucks, even if it is a fourth-order professional, it will be hit hard.

However, it moves surprisingly slowly both above and below ground, and has a fatal weakness - it is deaf and blind. Sensing the surrounding environment can only rely on the vibration of the surface, so it is not a particularly dangerous magical beast.

As long as you are lucky enough to become its first target, then just lie still and wait for it to leave on its own, if there are other people around, it would be better, lie on the spot and chat, don't move around, and basically escape safely.

As for the big head looking around, it's just an illusion of assisting in hunting, and if you are so frightened by that head that you raise your legs and prepare to run away, that's really cold.

The huge pigeon's head "patrolled" for a while, and after finding no new target, it slowly sank into the ground, and William and the others still did not dare to move their bodies.

Five or six minutes passed, and William, who was covered uncomfortably, took the initiative to reach out and forcibly took Jessica's hand off his mouth, and then looked at her murderous gaze and explained helplessly:

"Don't worry, this guy is deaf, and he hunts on the shaking of the ground, as long as we don't move, there will be no danger. ”

Jessica withdrew her hand suspiciously, and asked in a voice like a fly, "Are you sure? In the "Earth and Stone Monster Guide", the rock-scaled gray pigeon relies on hearing to sense its prey!"

William nodded. "I'm sure it's okay, the Scaly Dove doesn't have eyes or ears at all, it has an organ at the base of each of its two wings that can sense the vibrations on the ground, so there's no problem with talking, just don't move around. ”

Jessica nodded, believing William's words, but remained silent, she really didn't know what to say to William.

The two were silent for a long time, but it was Jessica who broke the silence first.

She said in a deep voice, "You know this kind of monster better than I do, so do you know how long we're going to be here?"

William shook his head slightly. "I don't know for sure, but we can find a rock that's bigger than a human head and throw it, and if we don't get attacked, then we can leave. ”

Speaking of this, William glanced up at the corpse of the white horse in the distance, and asked with some caution, "Is that white horse over there the possession chosen by Dire?"

"Well, that's an Amberland plateau horse that I raised as a child. Jessica's mood visibly fell, and then she looked up with some confusion and asked:

"You actually know that Dire needs to provide possession, it seems that you have a lot of information about Dire Riders, did you ever think about changing the shadow sequence?"

William shook his head lightly, and replied with a flat face: "No, I just read a little more, there are many ancient scrolls in the royal family's library, and there are many valuable contents recorded on them. ”

"Valuable, huh. Jessica glared at William with some anger as if she had been stabbed by the word, and then, as if remembering something, regained her composure, and only sighed and stopped talking.

"Let's talk. Once again, William broke the silence. "You seem to care about that horse, so why did you choose to be a Dire Rider? ”

Jessica glanced at William, her face was a little complicated, and instead of answering William's question, she opened her mouth and asked:

"How much do you know about the Dire Rider profession? You had a lot of knowledge when you first told everyone to flee, but you got stuck in my most extreme movement distances a few times, and more than once judged the angle and direction of the movement.

These are completely inexplicable, without long contact with the Dire Riders, it is impossible to do this by recording alone, have you people from the Van Kings family also produced the shadow sequence?"

William shook his head and replied lightly: "The Van Kings family does not have a shadow sequence, and the sequence they master is only the six civilian ranks. ”

Civilian Six...... Jessica frowned, the six civilian professions are the collective name of knights, swordsmen, guards, scouts, marksmen, and spearmen, and the professions of these six sequences do not need to involve mysterious power to be transferred, although it is extremely difficult to advance to the middle and high ranks, but the strength before the fourth order is not bad, and the resources and knowledge required are not too much, so it is the first choice for the vast majority of civilian professionals.

"You know that's not what I'm trying to ask, what I want to know is, how do you know so much about Dire Riders. Jessica frowned and expressed her displeasure.

William raised an eyebrow. Yo heh, didn't you avoid answering my question first? Although I'm just bored and want to talk to someone, I don't have to know, but there has to be a back and forth, right?

He replied in a flat voice, "I know what you want to ask, but you didn't answer my question either." ”

Jessica nodded. "Yes, then ask for a question. ”

She said with a cold face: "Xiaobai was a birthday gift from my father when I was eight years old. It was just a foal at the time, and I spent five years raising it by hand, and at that time I wasn't exposed to the Shadow Sequence, and I didn't know that Dire Riders needed to offer sacrifices as attachments. ”

Her face gradually sank, and she said word by word, "I refused to become a Dire Rider, but my father drained Xiaobai's blood and forced me to infuse it with the power of shadows to transform it into a Dire. I did do that, at least with its body and a little bit of consciousness remaining, so I didn't choose to become a Dire Rider. ”

Jessica turned her head away from the man's slightly pitying gaze, and said with some annoyance:

"Now it's you, you know the Dire Rider profession so well, I even have a feeling that you know my movement limits and attack methods better than I do, why the hell are you so familiar with Dire Riders?"
