Chapter Seventy-Two: Beasts and Birds

Helian Xiaojiang looked confused, she never thought that she would provoke the birds in the air. She hurriedly stood up barefoot, pulled out the dagger that never left her waist, took a deep breath, and raised her head and half-squatted in a posture to face the battle.

The small black shadow grew bigger and bigger in the process of rapid swooping, and when such a small black dot on the tip of his finger fell on the top of Helian Xiaojiang's head, the whole spread out like a huge blanket, covering the dim moonlight, and Helian Xiaojiang's whole person was shrouded in a huge shadow. It was a huge vulture, one meter long, with wings spread out for more than three meters. The beak and claws are very sharp, and the eyes are sharp. It is a large bird of prey with a beautiful and majestic appearance and a fierce temperament.

It pecked people with its hard beak and attacked people with sharp claws, and Helian Xiaojiang dodged while holding a dagger to resist. The sound of the dagger colliding with the beak and claw is like the sound of metal colliding with metal, and you can imagine that it must be scratched on the flesh. The first attack failed, and the vulture, shaking its black feathers, was even more furious, and it spread its wings and swooped down viciously to relaunch the second wave of attacks. This time, he grabbed Helian Xiaojiang's face with his claws.

In order to avoid the attack, Helian Xiaojiang hurriedly stepped on the instep of his other foot, and it didn't hurt to fall on the thick weeds, and at the same time, he dodged the attack that was almost disfigured. But Helian Xiaojiang didn't dare to delay and immediately got up from the grass, but he didn't expect that this fierce vulture did not continue to attack her, but flew to her right side, and a similar metallic sound remembered that the two black dots were entangled in the dark night.

It turned out to be a blue wolf, and he rushed over at some point, exuding coercion and luring away the vulture. He pointed to the sky with the ice release in hand, and the vultures hovered in midair.

"Are you alright?"

"I'm not hurt, be careful. Helian Xiaojiang nervously grabbed the dagger and stared at the black shadow.

In the early hours of the morning, Ren Zhong and the three of them sat in the grass and closed their eyes to recuperate, and when they noticed that the fight over there was relatively late, they looked up and saw a vigorous black shadow hovering in mid-air.

"Big brother, this is not your ......" One person excitedly pushed the heavy responsibility.

Ren Zhong reacts faster, and the thumb and index finger of his right hand are circled and held in his mouth. A whistling sound resounded through the sky and crossed the outer eardrums, and the vulture received the order to stop circling repeatedly, waving its wings and flying towards Ren Zhong. It landed steadily, and its sharp claws hooked Ren Zhong's left arm with armor with precision. Then he shook his two huge wings, gathered them at his side, and stood proudly and vigilantly on his master's shoulder.

Ren Zhong reached out and touched a pinch of soft black hair on his abdomen.

"You two haven't been scratched, the little black shadow is not very good-tempered. Ah, introducing, this is my pet and it's called Little Black Shadow. "With his own height and the small black shadow on his shoulders, the whole person looks taller and taller, and when he walks over, it looks like a moving hill.

"Little Black Shadow?" Helian Xiaojiang and the blue wolf put away their weapons.

"When I started raising it, it was still a small group, hehe. "Ren Zhong lovingly stroked this vulture that is more well-behaved than a domestic loyal dog.

This is a fierce beast that has been raised for many years, whether it is a spirit beast or a fierce beast, most of the humans raise animals on land. Birds like them are very rare because they are too difficult to catch and tame.

Waiting for the little black shadow is equivalent to waiting for hope. Ren Zhong left it in the northern base camp in order to wait for the best time to respond. Birds fly high and see far, this kind of lost contact moment is the best use. In other words, seeing the vultures is equivalent to waiting for the large army. The first sight of the two exhausted subordinates lifted up when they saw the little black shadow, and their mood was greatly encouraged.

Ren Zhong let go of the little black shadow, and the rest of the people stood in place and waited.

Soon, there was a rustling sound at the edge of the field, and it seemed that a group of people were stirring the grass in unison. It's like a swarm of rats trying to crawl lightly across a field of wheat but inevitably making small movements. Including the blue wolf and Helian Xiaojiang, everyone ran together in the direction where the sound came from. The more we went to the edges, the density of the weeds was much more sparse, and even the height was only up to the knee, and the vision became wider, and I realized that the number of people who came and imagined was much less.

As far as the eye can see, there are less than 50 people. The horses were correspondingly less pitiful, more than half of the fifty or so men were on foot. The fifty seemed to be a little more wolf than the four hiding in the grass.

"Big brother!" As soon as the leading man saw the heavy responsibility, he knelt down with fifty people to "pounce": "My subordinates are humiliated to death, please punish my eldest brother." ”

Ren Zhong looked at the brothers in the back row, his eyes darkened, obscure.

Or another subordinate next to him couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Why are you so people?!What about the others?"

Because it's important to bring the treasure map back to the base camp. Ren Zhong had arranged for 3,000 people to respond in advance, but there would only be so many people left.

"It's Xie Ancheng, he's crazy! Big brother, as soon as you left on the front foot, he kept attacking our base camp, and sent all the Royal Forest Army to surround and intercept us all the way, to the point of madness. "The general had been kneeling on one knee when he reported the casualties to Ren Zhong, and there were dried blood stains on the corners of his mouth.

The Imperial Guards are the direct army of the Lord. According to Tiandaolun's common understanding, before Xie Ancheng became the lord of the country, his team could not be crowned with the title of "Royal Forest Army" at all. But this army was originally the Imperial Forest Army organized by the previous two generations of national lords, and after being reorganized in the hands of Xie Ancheng, it still inherited the name of "Royal Forest Army". Not worthy of the name.

A name shows Xie Ancheng's ambition.

There were 3,000 people in full gear, and they were surrounded and intercepted all the way, and in the end there were less than 50 people left, including the wounded. According to the general's oral account, the casualties of the fake Imperial Forest Army were even heavier, and strictly speaking, they were the victorious side. It's just that they can't count on it at all, and these fifty people not only can't help them get out of trouble, but on the contrary, they make the situation even more difficult. So the first sentence of the leader was "insulting the mission." ”

"Get up. ”

Ren Zhong left a dozen unwounded soldiers on the periphery to secretly handle them, and all the rest followed him into the farmland to hide. The plan changed dramatically, and it was necessary to renegotiate the countermeasures. Helian Xiaojiang and the blue wolf consciously and spontaneously distanced themselves, and now they are sitting down to discuss military affairs, which are high-level secrets. It was inconvenient for the two of them to be listened to.

After walking away for a distance, the men's muffled voices could still be heard, coming from the cracks in the grass, cascading and mingling, and I couldn't hear it clearly.
