Angelo's face was pale, the coercion of the eighth-level demonic beast was still a little difficult for him, and Nishizawa at his feet roared anxiously, as if he was anxious that he didn't come in handy at all, in fact, Nishizawa was worried that if something went wrong with his guardian, it would die.

Although he knew that Benedict would not let himself die, it was only limited to not losing his life, and injuries were inevitable. Angelo couldn't dodge, and a large hole was cut in his back by the claws of the thunderbird, and a white light flashed, and the thunderbird didn't even leave ashes. Angelo fell into a familiar embrace, the sharp pain in his back making him twitch all over, and the faint scent of laurel calmed his tense nerves like an anesthetic. Within the barrier, Angelo felt the pain in his back, bit his lower lip slightly, and buried his head in Benedict's arms, the Thunderbird's damage was more magical than the attack of ordinary beasts, and the burning sensation at the wound could not be suppressed.

"It's okay, it's okay, soon." Benedict casts a spell that reunites the two of them together, and it looks as if it is attacking the two of them with all its might, but there is a barrier inside that keeps them worry-free.

Outside the group of thunderbirds, Kos, who was crawling on the ground, slowly got up, and there was still no movement in the direction of the purple bamboo forest, which proved that the things outside had long been seen by the people who had cracked the stone, and it was expected that he would not come out to save him so far. Kos thought about it in his heart, gritted his teeth and stood up, put his hands to his lips, and took a deep breath, and the sound that came out of his mouth turned out to be the chirping of a thunderbird.

The voice was poignant, similar to the sound of the Thunderbird summoning its companions just now, but if you listen closely, you will notice the difference. The people in the purple bamboo forest were so nervous when they heard this sound that they didn't distinguish the difference at all, they only thought that Kos was summoning other thunderbirds, and subconsciously took a few steps back.

Hearing the movement outside, Angelo raised his eyes slightly, "Is this someone imitating the Thunderbird, or is it?" The surrounding Thunderbirds were affected, and although the two people in the barrier did not understand the meaning of the voice, they clearly felt that the attack that fell on the barrier was much smaller.

"Someone should be imitating the sound of the Thunderbird, go out and have a look first?" Taking out a coat and covering Angelo, Benedict pinched his little face, which had not yet recovered its blood-colored face, and this illusion seemed ordinary in the eyes of others, but in his eyes it was still as delicate as before.

"Swordsman, if you want to kill the Thunderbird, you can't use the trick just now." Angelo stood up, although his limbs were still sore, but this was more in line with the state after the fight. The few Thunderbirds that Benedict had just taken out of his hands had all turned invisible, leaving no ashes behind, and no matter how heavy his men were, they only caused some damage to the Thunderbirds, and none of them could be killed.

Benedict took out the fighter's heavy sword from the sword holster behind him, and the state of the fighting spirit on his body was faked vividly. Angelo looked at this honest-looking swordsman and raised his eyebrows at himself, and felt a little funny for no reason.

A golden fighting aura light appeared on the tip of the heavy sword, if there was substance, it was the rank mark of the Great Sword Master, "The Great Sword Master can't kill the Thunderbird, right?" As soon as Angelo's words fell, he saw that the fighting spirit had broken through the barrier of the Thunderbird, and even cut off the wings of the two Thunderbirds that had no time to react. The thunderbirds, who were already affected by the call, screamed in surprise and flew upwards one after another.

The two took the opportunity to escape from the encirclement, and sure enough, they saw Kos, who was still imitating the call of the Thunderbird, Angelo was held by Benedict, and Nishizawa followed behind the two, and his figure had just appeared and was already heading north. By the way, they brought Kos, who had just saved their lives.

The chirping stopped abruptly, the rest of the people in the purple bamboo forest looked at each other, Rudolph took out his staff, and the wind crystal nucleus shone on it, Yili behind Rudolph saw this, and reacted quickly, and soon the rest of the people became a state of a sword, Rudolph shouted, and the people of the mercenary group instantly rushed out of the purple bamboo forest and went in the direction where the three of them left just now. Behind him, there was the sound of a reacting thunderbird.

Benedict's disguised identity is that of a great swordsman, so it is naturally impossible to take the two of them and a bear to go too far. Passing through a gap, Benedict staggered and led the group into the narrow valley.

Before he could catch his breath, Angelo saw a cyan light led by Rudolph flash in front of him, carrying the person who had just cracked the stone. Not far away was the previously enraged Thunderbird, a grid-like barrier covering the tiny gorge, isolating the three of them from the Thunderbird's perception.

Angelo counted carefully, and there were nine thunderbirds passing in front of him, which was almost the same as the one guarding the Purple Bamboo Forest just now, but it was still a little different from the one that attacked together just now. "There are at least five left in the Purple Bamboo Forest."

"This number is about the same as the number of ptarmigans guarding the purple bamboo forest in previous years." Kos seemed to relax a little, and leaned closer to take a look, "I don't know what's going on this year, so much has happened." As the words fell, Kos sat down on the ground and took off the badge of the stone cracker on his body, his face a little dejected, as if he was sad.

"Think it's a pity?" The corners of Angelo's mouth rose slightly, and he knew what he was thinking when he saw Kos in such a state, although he had never experienced such a thing in his previous life or in this life, but as a former team leader, he knew too well what those rebels wanted to do.

What the former traitors hope most is that their previous team can collapse or even be destroyed, otherwise their identity as a traitor will be constantly reminded by them, like maggots on tarsal bones, making them itch.

"Nope." Kos smiled at how he could admit it at this time, otherwise he would not have a chance to get out of this Thunder Valley, "I just feel that I have no way out." The bitterness on his face is somewhat real. Angelo blinked, his expression was slightly stunned, there was no way out, this person could not have seen too thoroughly.

"What technique did you just use? How do you make a Thunderbird in a trance? Benedict saw that the topic was starting to turn a little biased, so he stopped the conversation and shifted the conversation to Kos's behavior.

"It's my family's art of beast control." Kos didn't blink, but he still used lies to block the possibility that the two wanted to ask.

Angelo and Benedict looked at each other, and the curvature of the corners of their mouths was exactly the same, "This kind of stunt is really rare, use it well." "These words still carry a lot of weight to say as Benedict's current teacher, and besides, it is more than enough for a great swordsman to teach a swordsman.

Seeing that the two of them did not show any interest, Kos nodded with a subtle look in his eyes, and stopped talking, just waiting for the sound of the thunderbird to disappear. For a moment, there was only the sound of Nishizawa's restlessness in the valley, and the silence of the remaining three people made this small space strange.

After half a moment, the dust outside had already fallen, and only the faint thunder light that was still floating not far away indicated that they were actually not far from the purple bamboo forest that had been excavated.

While the barrier was removed, the three of them quickly moved in the direction of the west, and did not rest until the movement of the Purple Bamboo Forest was completely muffled by the wind in the valley.

Angelo let out a long breath, although he didn't use much strength in the run, but the long strong wind still made him a little suffocated. "It's safe here."

Kos, who was running with all his might, also nodded, calming his breath, and the whole person was in a stage of snorting.

Benedict smiled and whispered in Angelo's ear, "There was a thunderbird nest not long ago, but you want to see it?" Angelo had just been attacked by a group of thunderbirds, and was almost seriously injured under the claws of the thunderbirds, but there was no fear in his heart, and even Angelo himself was surprised. But wasn't the Thunderbird's Nest their goal in the first place? So "Of course I'm going, and when I get there, I'm going to see the Thunderbird's Nest." ”

Kos looked at the two of them, he didn't know what was going on in his eyes, but he was already rushing to the two of them, "I, can I go with you?" ”

"Did you hear what we said, haven't you seen enough of the Thunderbird?" Angelo's raised lips had already expressed the original meaning of what he wanted to say, just to see if Cos was worth it.

"If I didn't even have the guts, I wouldn't be a mercenary." Kos sighed, and finally took off his mask, which was also the reward for Angelo and the others to take him with him before leaving.

Benedict looked at the two people who interacted, and maybe there were times when a villain was more suitable than a gentleman. "Then let's go." These words came out of Benedict's honest face, and they were very fitting.

When the three of them walked near the thunderbird's nest, it was already dark, but this couldn't stop the blood and qi around the thunderbird's nest at all. and a few mournful female birds still wandering.

Although the nests of the ptarmigan are not gathered together, most of the nests in the valley are here, after all, this is the most suitable place for the hatchlings to hatch, and looking at the situation in front of them, it is actually the destruction of the ptarmigan's cubs and nests.

Broken eggshells, nesting gravel and purple bamboos were scattered on the ground, and even the corpses of some young birds were exposed to the heavens and the earth, and the traces of lightning burning were the same as the previous marks in front of the purple bamboo forest, which were obviously left by the attack of the ptarmigan.

The light gray down feathers of the ptarmigan chicks were blown by the breeze that was rare in the valley, as if they were incinerated and turned into ashes in the air, and even the smell of burnt was somewhat similar.

It should be a place full of life, but at this time, there are no birds singing at all, which makes this place without strong wind even more dull. Angelo pursed his lips and picked up a broken purple bamboo from the ground, the black bamboo coat that had been scorched by the flames on it had been scorched, and it would fall off if he touched it lightly. "No wonder, those ptarmigans are pouring out of their nests."

Without worries, coupled with hatred for humans, the Thunderbird's behavior at this time has an explanation. Benedict's brows furrowed, he had felt that there was something wrong here, although it was a little deliberate to bring Angelo over, but he regretted it a little at this time.

"You didn't know it in advance?" Angelo turned his head, and the only time he could think of it was the only time Benedict said he couldn't be sure, it was because of the reborn Ackerman. Knowing what Angelo wanted to ask, Benedict nodded, "After all, this is a gathering place for eighth-level demonic beasts, and you can't perceive it completely. ”

This is not unusual in normal terms, but Ekos did not hear anything strange in it. "The tragic situation here doesn't look like it's been happening in the last few days, but I don't know what's going on." Kos looked up at the two of them, "I followed the Crackstone into the valley from the east entrance, which is the closest entrance to the purple bamboo forest, but every time we enter the valley, we are brought in by the head of the regiment using the Wind Technique, and we don't know the way." ”

Angelo choked on this thoughtful explanation, and pouted slightly, "What time are you going to the valley?" How to say the appearance here has been more than three months, explain so much to do. ”

Swept by Angelo's white eyes, Kos scratched his head, and felt a little loyal, but with his thin cheeks and sleek emerald eyes, it really didn't match. While Benedict looked at the sky, he could feel that the females hovering in the sky had run out of oil and were waiting to die.

"Although the Thunderbird is manic, he knows that the outside world is much more difficult than this Thunder Valley, and he will not get out of the valley, so how can he provoke such a powerful person." Kos commented lightly, and the pity in his tone was obvious.

"It's a pity, the thunderbird who struggled to protect his home was also caught, otherwise you can still pick up a leak?" Angelo's language was sarcastic, and there was a gesture in the palm of his hand, it was Benedict who reminded him, the thunderbird above is not good, is it going to wait two days?

"Oh, yes." Kos generously admitted that these two people knew a thing or two about him, and if he covered it up, it would not be conducive to getting along in the future, at least in this thunder valley where the thunderbird kills people when he sees it, he still has to rely on the two of them to survive.
