Chapter 44: Strange Birds
The people of the Pang Demon Clan did not notice that someone was following them, and now the Pang Demon Clan was facing an even more complicated situation, they were standing next to a cliff with bushes covering a cave, and from it came a pleasant cry, obviously the sound of a bird, but it was like singing, tactful and beautiful.

The people of the Pang Demon Clan seemed to be very nervous, a tense formation, at this time it was late, they divided a few people to hold torches, and everyone looked at the person in the middle, who was dressed almost the same as the others, only the veil was embroidered with a bird with wings ready to fly, the body of the bird was drawn with silver thread, shining in the firelight.
The man in the middle stretched out his hand and raised a cane like dead wood, and the archers hurriedly drew their bows and arrows, ready to attack at any moment. Chu Xiqing could even hear the sound of their breathing, why didn't this group of people speak? Is there no language, or is it not suitable for speaking, after all, there may be some fierce beast living on it, and it cannot be easily alarmed. Who knew that as soon as Chu Xiqing finished thinking about it, he heard the leader in the middle start to chant words, and he couldn't hear what he said too far away, but he felt that the sound was getting louder and louder, and finally it was like gongs and drums ringing in the mountains, making it noisy and inaudible, and there was a buzzing sound in his ears. The birds in the cave stopped, and then there was silence, and the torch-bearers took a few steps back, allowing the archers to protect themselves.
Chu Xiqing felt that the mountain breeze at night was slightly cold, she looked back at Ning Jun, and found that the other party was also very nervous, sweat broke out on his forehead, and he was still holding a branch in his hand. The sound of birds sounded again, this time it was not a beautiful song, but a deafening noise, Chu Xiqing felt a strong wind blowing in his face, and a huge bird rushed out of the cave, its black wings covering half of its vision, and it flew in the air stiffly, turning its head to stare at the hunter of the Pang Demon Clan. The hunters spontaneously surrounded the leader in the middle, only to see that the man stretched out his hand and pointed at the giant bird in the air, and all those armed with bows and arrows began to attack, and the rain of arrows flew towards the giant bird.
The giant bird will not be caught with its hands tied, it flies down, the strong force of its wings fans knocks down several archers, the speed of the giant bird still does not slow, its goal is the one who takes the lead, and the thief captures the king first. At this moment, a figure jumped out from the side of the leader, took out an arrow from the quiver behind him, took aim quickly, let go of the arrow, and the tip of the arrow fluttered into the eyes of the giant bird, and it had to turn and fly back into the air. At this time, the giant bird was already wounded, and it was still stubbornly attacking the hunter's formation.
The battle between the two sides was stuck, and for a moment it was impossible to tell the winner, and the guard archers who had previously protected the leader flew out of the camp, jumping quickly between the mountains and rocks, looking for the best shooting point and hitting the vital point of the giant bird. Chu Xiqing felt that his palms were also sweating, thinking about whether to run away first, at this time, the giant bird turned to attack the guard, and the leader got time, he quickly recited the previous spell, and Chu Xiqing heard a buzzing noise like gongs and drums.
The giant bird was clearly affected, and began to become unstable, and let out a painful chirping, but the sound of the song was mournful and weak, like a weak oriole, not a monster of such a large size. The injured bird began to choose to flee, and it flew back into the air, fleeing in the direction of Chu Xiqing and them, and quickly swept through the woods above the two, and a few feathers were wiped to the ground. Chu Xiqing picked up a piece and looked at it carefully, and found that it was a piece of stone, she put away those feathers in surprise and hid with Ning Jun.
The Pang Demon Hunting Team never found them, and at this time they were in a hurry to find the fleeing strange birds, and they did not pay attention to the voyeurs hiding on the side of the road. When the people of the Pang Demon Clan walked away, the two of them came out, and the people of the Pang Demon Clan did not all leave, the leader and the guards who protected him were still sitting in place, and the leader stroked his chest as if he was resting. The guards vigilantly monitored the perimeter, and when they saw Ning Jun and them coming, they immediately drew their bows and arrows to warn the other party not to come.
Ning Jun spoke, "Kolo, it's me, Ning Jun." ”
The other party's figure suddenly seemed to freeze, and it took a long time to take the torch and come forward to identify it, and against the backdrop of the torch, Chu Xiqing saw a pair of soft eyes, looking at Ning Jun with affection. The two watched silently, and after a while, Ning Jun said again, "I'm back." ”
Only then did Kolo notice Chu Xiqing next to Ning Jun, and his eyes swept over, making Chu Xi's feelings feel hostile, isn't this jealous? Thinking of this, Chu Xiqing hurriedly said, "Senior Ning Jun, can I go?" ”
Ning Jun obviously realized that his lover had misunderstood, and hurriedly said, "No, your uncle took my things, you have to take me to find him." ”
Kolo's eyes became anxious, and he glanced at Ning Jun's face as if he was worried about his loss of something, when the leader who had been resting came over, and an unnatural voice came, very stiff and dry, "Are you the stranger that Kolo met three years ago?" Hearing this, Ning Jun's expression darkened and he nodded.
"My Pang Demon clan, the habits of life are different from yours, I don't know where to go tomorrow today, have you thought clearly, you want to follow us around." The leader looked at Ning Jun seriously.
Ning Jun still only nodded, and then felt that it was not solemn enough, and added, "I have known Ke Luo for more than three years, don't worry." ”
"We were hunting monsters just now, and you were watching?" The leader asked again.
Ning Jun replied in a deep voice, "I was supposed to help, but I didn't recognize Kolo, so I'm afraid it would cause a misunderstanding." ”
"That's not what I said, you may not know the purpose of our graphite bird hunting, and then let Chloe explain it to you."
After saying these words, the cold fell between several people, and Kolo stood next to the leader and was in charge of guarding. The people of the Pang Demon Clan returned in groups, and although Chu Xiqing couldn't see their entire faces, he could see a smile from the corner of his eyes, and it seemed that he had made a gain. A man with a larger bow and arrows handed the leader a golden, glowing stone, which he put away and touched the man's shoulder with his staff.
No one asked Ning Jun where they came from, so they followed at the end of the team and went to a nearby cave, Chu Xiqing saw the leader knock on the ground three times in a row with his cane, and a crack suddenly opened, and everyone rushed in. After Chu Xiqing entered, she heard the sound of the cave mouth closing, and then darkness. After a while, someone lit a torch and put it on the wall, and Chu Xiqing saw clearly that they were surrounded by shining mountain walls, and some of those hunters set up pots, and some set up tents.
Everyone was working or resting, the noise they made was noisy, but no one spoke, the soup in the pot was slowly cooked, the leader approached the cauldron, carefully took out the golden stone, put it in, and hit the edge of the cauldron three times with a cane, and then Chu Xiqing saw that the cauldron was glowing with golden light, someone brought a bowl, and the leader scooped out the soup one by one and handed it to the clansmen. In the end, Chu Xiqing and they also got a bowl, and took this bowl of hard-won soup porridge with golden light, Chu Xiqing really didn't know whether to drink it or not, was this their dinner or something else? In the seemingly friendly eyes of those people, Chu Xiqing took a shallow taste, and with this small bite, he suddenly felt that there was aura echoing in his mouth. Could this be an opportunity to restore aura? After taking another sip, Chu Xiqing felt that there was aura stirring all over his body, and he suddenly felt excited, it seemed that he was crooked, and he couldn't help but look at the Pang Demon Clan gratefully.
