Chapter 287: The East Feather Bird Flying to the Sunset
No need to ask, it must be Li Lianjing's demon who came out to make waves. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
When the silver wildebeest saw that the deer and the horse had run in front of his noble, elegant, and arrogant self, he was furious, and raised his hooves to chase after him. Huo Zongtang suddenly retracted the reins, and clamped his legs between the horse's belly, stopping his brainless behavior of being a hot-blooded second.
At this moment, on the horizon of the desert in the distance, I suddenly saw a thick gray line, as if I was alarmed by such a huge movement of them, and suddenly moved rapidly!
As soon as the gray line moved, it was like the rolling tide of the river, and it was like thousands of troops and horses galloping, raising countless smoke and dust, and the momentum was very magnificent.
"Wow, it's the East Feather Bird! What a big flock of eastern feather birds! ”
Someone screamed.
"Follow the East Feather Bird, you can go to the oasis deep in the desert, everyone chase after it!"
"The speed of the East Feather Bird is extremely fast, you have to bite tight, otherwise if you chase it and lose it, it will be difficult to find the oasis!"
After seeing the large flock of eastern feather birds in the sky, the students became excited, and they whipped their whips to drive away the war beast mounts, and rushed towards the flock of eastern feather birds quickly.
On the entire desert, a large group of eastern feather birds fled in front and a large group of people and horses chased behind.
Huo Zongtang rode a silver wildebeest, quickly stood out from the large crowd of people, and rushed to the front of the team. The silver wildebeest easily stepped on small dance steps, and in the blink of an eye, it surpassed thousands of horses, and the whole process can be described as effortless. After taking the lead, it also glanced back arrogantly, and even shook a handful of silver-white mane on its forehead in the wind, posing as a hanging appearance of "Brother will take you eighteen streets in seconds if you don't exert your strength", which is really not good.
At this time, there were only five or six figures left around, all of whom were Shangguan Yu'er, Yang Xiaona, Sima Wan and other champions of the civil and military double rankings and their mounts.
And the flock of eastern feather birds in front of it can already be clearly seen.
The eastern feather bird is not really a bird, they are a terrestrial chocobo that lives on land.
I saw that these eastern feathers were gray and yellow, shaped like ostriches, with curved and slender necks, strong legs, and extremely fast cadence, running in the desert at a speed no less than that of a horse.
And the flock of East Feather Birds running in front of you is at least a few thousand, and the situation of "ten thousand birds galloping" is really a little scary.
After chasing for a while, several big birds in the group of East Feather Birds who looked like leaders suddenly let out a few strange calls, and the large group of East Feather Birds suddenly fled separately as if they had received an order, and split into several small wholes from a large whole, and fled to the depths of the desert in different directions.
If you look closely, there is a head bird leading the team in front of each small group of East Feather Birds.
It seems that these East Feather Birds have a low IQ, and they have a strict organization and leadership, which is not easy to deal with.
Huo Zongtang, Shangguan Yu'er and the others glanced at each other from a distance, and then each chose a group of Eastern Feather Birds and continued to chase after them. In this way, the thousands of freshmen behind them also dispersed and gradually disappeared into the dust.
The group of Dongyu birds that Huo Zongtang followed was about forty or fifty birds.
At this time, the sun was shining, there was no place to shelter in the desert, the ground temperature was as high as fifty or sixty degrees, the rough sand and gravel ground was hot, and even the smoke and dust raised seemed to carry a scorching smell of gunpowder.
However, this group of eastern feather birds has always been vigorous, has always maintained a very high speed, and has not been affected by the harsh environment at all.
The silver wildebeest is also extremely adaptable, and has not noticed any problems yet. The most important thing is that this guy has been locked up for too long, and today he was finally released, and he has to play a game of peek-a-boo with so many East Feather Birds, and he obviously feels that it is a lot of fun and has a lot of fun.
After passing several small oases on the way, Huo Zongtang did not stop.
I heard that in these oases, there is a herb called Tongling grass. This herb has the effect of replenishing and strengthening blood, and after taking it, it can also expand and thicken the blood vessel wall and improve the quality of blood, which is an excellent auxiliary medicine for them who are cultivating and strengthening blood.
But the oases I saw along the way were actually located on the edge of the Dongyu Desert, and even if there was Tongling grass, they were all young grasses that were not old enough, which was of little significance to Huo Zongtang.
Only by entering the depths of the desert can it be possible to find the best Tongling grass that is a hundred years old, or even hundreds of years.
So of course Huo Zongtang won't waste time in those small oases.
Huo Zongtang rode a silver horse wildebeest and chased after Dongyu Bird for hundreds of miles.
By this time it was nearly dusk. The dusk sun hung not far above the horizon, and although it still emitted a red light, the power of the scorching heat had been greatly reduced.
Running desperately all the way, even the East Feather Bird and the Silver Horse Wildebeest, who are very good at long-distance running, are all exhausted at this time, and both sides are only supported by a breath of energy.
The silver horse wildebeest is better, and from time to time it gets Huo Zongtang's spiritual energy to "add blood" along the way, and from time to time it can add a little food and water, and its mental and physical condition is fine.
But those East Feather Birds didn't eat, drink or rest all the way, and they had already reached the end of their crossbows.
On the road, a few eastern feather birds even wailed and fell to the ground, unable to keep up with the pace of the large army.
But at this moment, the group of eastern feather birds in front of them suddenly let out a burst of excited chirps, as if they were cheers of victory.
Huo Zongtang looked up and suddenly saw a shocking scene!
Ten miles ahead, there was a huge oasis!
The oasis is full of fresh grass and trees, a green lake on the outside is surrounded like a streamer, and many birds are hovering in the sky.
This oasis is full of life, and in the middle of the desolate and vast desert, it looks like paradise.
The group of East Feather Birds suddenly became energetic, chirping excitedly, and running towards the oasis with the last of their strength.
Huo Zongtang was also in good spirits and rode his horse to chase after him. Such a large oasis, I don't know if there is any Tongling grass in it that I want to look for?
But the more he ran, the more he felt that something was wrong. The oasis in front looks sunny, and the colors of everything are as fresh as the sunrise in the morning. However, at this time, the sun is setting, and the desolate red sun is almost close to the horizon, how can the effect of this light and shadow be wrong?
Most importantly, how can the beauty of the oasis in front of you seem so good that it doesn't feel real?
Don't......
Is it a mirage?
But why did all the eastern feather birds in front of them pounce like crazy? These war beasts who have lived in the desert for many years should not be confused by this desert illusion, right?
Huo Zongtang's heart was full of doubts, but he still drove the horse to bite the group of East Feather Birds and chased after him.
The round and desolate red sun has slowly sunk below the horizon. The beauty of the oasis in front of us is also half dimmed, half disappeared from view.
At this time, Huo Zongtang was already completely sure that this oasis must be just a mirage.
But instead of stopping, those eastern feather birds became more excited and crazy!
Just a few dozen meters away, Huo Zongtang witnessed the bird screaming, and then he actually raised his wings, soared into the air, and soared towards the embrace of the red sun at the end of the horizon!
At that time, the huge red sun was magnificent and round, right in front of them. Half of it was submerged in the horizon, and half of it was still shining a majestic light against the heavens and the earth.
Heaven and earth are brilliant, and the edge of the horizon seems to be plated with a golden edge.
The head bird seemed to have exhausted its last strength, and swooped down on the red sun in a tragic manner like a moth to a flame, and then quickly disappeared behind the vast, magnificent, and desolate red light.
Immediately afterwards, all the eastern feather birds chirped violently, and flew up with the first bird flapping its wings and swooping into the vast red light!
"This ......" Huo Zongtang was so surprised that he couldn't speak.
The eastern feather bird is not a true bird and cannot fly. But soaring one or twenty meters at low altitudes is no problem. It's just that I heard that only when it comes to the moment of life and death, will the East Feather Bird fight to fly. After that, it's either rebirth or death.
What is there in front of them that makes these East Feather Birds fight hard at the cost of burning their last vitality?
He whipped hard, forcing the silver wildebeest to speed up, but when the wildebeest reached the place where the eastern feather bird had taken off, it suddenly retracted, and then neighed in horror, and then kept spinning in place, refusing to go any further.
When Huo Zongtang saw the scene in front of him clearly, he couldn't help but gasp.
A few meters away in front of him, an extremely deep canyon suddenly appeared, this black canyon appeared so abruptly, so unreasonable, it was like a god suddenly swung a knife in the flat and vast desert, forcibly dividing the entire Gobi Desert into two halves!
Huo Zongtang walked to the side of the canyon and took a look, and a layer of cold sweat broke out in his palms.
This canyon is nearly 100 meters deep, and the cliff itself is extremely steep like a knife and axe. If it hadn't been for the timely retreat of the silver wildebeest, one man and one horse would have rushed into the cliff and fell to pieces.
Huo Zongtang looked further ahead, and saw more than ten East Feather Birds landing on the other end of the cliff twenty meters away, some walking forward slowly, and some looking back at him indifferently.
The quantity is wrong. What about the rest of the eastern feathered birds?
Naturally, in the last struggle, he fell into a 100-meter cliff and fell into a pulp.
Huo Zongtang was a little emotional, and when he looked up, he suddenly found that under the last ray of sunlight, the oasis mirage on the horizon had changed.
There seems to be a quaint wooden house, standing under the vast sky, standing on the edge of the boundless world. A lonely, small figure stood between the wooden house and a tall stone monument.
Looks like a somewhat hunchbacked old man.
The old man wore an ancient costume with wide robes and large sleeves, and his head was slightly sideways, as if he was watching him.
Huo Zongtang's back was cold, and a layer of sweat oozed from his palms.
Where did this mirage come from? What corner of the earth is it reflecting? Is there anyone who can see a scene thousands of miles away in a mirage?
