When Lin Rui came out, although he thought that he would see some unexpected things, such as the ostrich here, he still did not expect to see this strange bird.

What kind of mythical beast is this? Titan Giant Bird? Man-eating moa? Or is it some other prehistoric monster that has not been found in later archaeology?

This strange bird is tall, not to mention, and has an unusually flexible neck, extremely sharp beak attacks, legs like pillars, and can kick people.

A few warriors of the Mao tribe who slipped off the backs of the bighorn deer were like chickens under the beaks of an eagle when they faced these tall strange birds.

At a glance, several bighorn deer close to the strange bird had fist-sized holes in their bodies, and the blood was pouring out. Obviously, the beak attack power of this strange bird is extremely amazing.

The most unstoppable thing is the two-legged attack of the strange bird. Their long legs, which were more than a meter long, would kick out unexpectedly, and several Mao tribe warriors fell under this move, and then they could only turn into rolling gourds and be pecked by strange birds.

"Raise your bow!" Maybe it's because the strange bird doesn't hunt prey on anything larger than it, and there is no strange bird attack on the forest track, and seeing the situation clearly, he began to order: "Shoot the arrows, be careful not to be injured by mistake!" ”

The guards are all carefully selected fighters with relatively comprehensive abilities. Naturally, the archery is also good. When they came out, they were all armed with bows and arrows.

The guards raised their bows and shot at the strange birds in their sight. When even a few strange birds screamed and fell. The other strange birds became furious, and they screamed loudly, and attacked the people of the Mao tribe even harder. And there were more sounds of swaying in the groves on all sides, and some of the branches were shaking. I don't know how many strange birds are moving inside.

When the elephant team gathered, it also knocked down and broke some of the surrounding low trees and/or branches, and these strange birds also appeared in some places. The guards drew their bows and shot again, and some strange birds were hit by arrows.

Lin Ji saw that these strange birds did not pose much of a threat to the elephants, so he simply ordered: "A team of two people will go around and knock down these trees." The third and fourth teams don't fall in love with each other, and immediately move closer to us. ”

The third and fourth teams are the temporary formations of these people of the Mao tribe. After a few days of training, they were basically able to obey orders.

Lin Ji ordered, Dunmu led a team of people around the forest trail and crashed into the low trees around him, and the people of the Mao tribe who were not injured also quickly approached the forest trail. But those who fell to the ground or were injured fell into the attacks of more strange birds.

Seeing two strange birds rushing towards a fallen warrior, he screamed and fluttered his knife and pounced back.

This strange bird obviously cooperates quite tacitly. When two warriors besiege the fallen warrior, one on one side, one with a peck, and the other with a step. The fallen warrior was desperately trying to dodge the hooked beak, but he couldn't avoid the long legs of the other strange bird.

This kind of big bird weighs hundreds of pounds, and if it is stepped on, it will almost become a worm under their mouth.

As soon as he turned around, his knife stomped straight at the long leg of the fallen warrior. The level of tacit understanding of the strange birds is obviously still expected. One was attacked, and the other gave up its original target, turned its head and pecked at Bayang.

In a hurry, Bayang was reluctant to let go, and only used his other hand to block his head and face, hoping to block the peck.

The bird's leg trampled on the fallen warrior, and was subsequently cut off by Roayang with a steel knife.

Bayang blocked his face and threw himself to the ground, but he didn't usher in the fatal blow on his body. I just heard two loud bangs in my ears.

Baking Yang rolled and jumped, and saw that the strange bird that had pecked at him was wearing two blood holes and was struggling to escape. Looking in the direction of the sound, Bayang saw that Lin Ji was turning in other directions with a "stick" in his hand.

"What's that?" Bayang asked such a question in the midst of nervousness.

In the bushes, Xiaobai, who had originally opened the way in front, also entered a combat state.

Before, when everyone was looking at the scenery, it was bored because it couldn't understand the scenery, so it might have wandered off for a while, but these strange birds rushed to the front and it didn't find it. Feeling that its dignity as the king of the snowy mountains had been challenged, it chased after a strange bird and slashed at it at the beginning of the attack.

God is pitiful, those strange birds see that it is not small, and they have no intention of attacking it.

Its fifty-pound knife was so powerful that it cut down a large area of trees in a few clicks, and the strange bird it was chasing jumped around. At the moment when the gunfire rang out in the forest tracks, the strange bird was probably frightened, and one of them did not dodge, and was slashed off by Xiaobai's neck.

Turning around, another strange bird frightened away by the sound of gunfire passed by it, and it rushed forward again with a knife.

Dunmu and the men smashed through a low tree, and when several strange birds that had wanted to attack from that direction or were frightened by the sound of gunfire appeared in that gap, the archers sitting on the back of the elephants shot arrows and knocked them down.

After Dunmu ran a circle of about 100 meters with the people, the battle was almost over. The people of the Mao tribe approached the forest trails. The strange bird was not frightened away by the sound of the gunshot, but had already fallen under the fire of the bow and arrow. Xiaobai cut down another strange bird and was standing next to the corpse of the strange bird and roaring. The archers had already lowered their taut bowstrings.

But just then, a tree in the circle shook again, and a strange bird fled quickly into the distance. The guards had barely drawn their bows when they saw a dark shadow in the sky swoop down, right in the middle of the gap and pounce on the strange bird.

It was a ghost eagle that had been hovering in the sky.

It never provoked more than ten pounds of prey, and it didn't know why it was brave, and after swooping down, it grabbed the neck of the strange bird and pecked the head of the strange bird.

The strange bird flailed its wings and flailed its neck in an attempt to shake off the ghost eagle.

Although the ghost eagle is the king of the sky, its weight is estimated to be a fraction of that of a strange bird.

The strange bird shook its head and shook the ghost eagle to the point that it was not much like a ball.

The feathers of the two birds flew wildly, but the guards did not dare to release their arrows. They were worried about hurting the ghost eagle.

Seeing that the ghost eagle was about to be thrown out of the, Lin Ji raised his gun again and fired two shots.

If you don't shoot, the ghost eagle will die, and if you shoot, the possibility of the ghost eagle being shot is not very high. The ghost eagle is stupid, and he deserves to be shot, Lin Ji thinks so.

Fortunately, Lin Ji's gun did not leave his hand, and the two shots were extremely accurate.

The strange bird that frantically flailed its neck leaked and fell to the ground like a ball. The ghost eagle seized the opportunity to peck the strange bird on the head a few more times, and the strange bird did not move at all.

The ghost eagle stood on the strange bird, looking up to the sky and letting out a loud eagle cry. Despite its disheveled feathers and awkward appearance, it seems to have regained its pride: it is not only the king of the sky, but also the king of birds. What is beneath its feet is its prey!

The meaning of those two gunshots was naturally ignored.

The gunfire caused no further movement in the woods. Lin Ji estimated that these strange birds had run out, so he ordered some people to remain vigilant, and a few of the guards knew how to deal with external injuries to treat the wounded.

Although the battle came and went quickly, the casualties were not small. Many of the guards were scratched and scratched by the trees. Fortunately, they wore sturdy military uniforms, which allowed them to reduce most of the scratches, otherwise the situation would have been more serious.

In addition to this, one of the guards was pecked during the fighting. Five of the Mao tribe were pecked and two kicked.

Of the five people who were pecked, half of their faces were pecked, and they couldn't live. The other four were also torn off a piece of flesh each, and their injuries were horrific. The pecked guard was wearing leather armor, but there was no major problem. One of the ones who was kicked was directly a broken thigh.

The other bighorn deer that were pecked were not lightly injured, and at least two of them were estimated to be unable to survive.

"What the hell is this?" Lin Ji looked at everyone's injuries and came to the side of a strange bird that fell to the ground to take a closer look.

The size of this strange bird is large and small, the large one is estimated to weigh four hundred catties, and the small one is estimated to weigh two or three hundred catties, and the body size is really no different from that of an ostrich.

In addition to its large head and long beak and long legs, it also has bat-like claws under its wings, and rows of teeth in its beak. Apparently this is really a carnivorous bird.

During the battle, a total of nine were killed. It is estimated that about a number of others have run away.

Lin Ji couldn't tell what this thing was, he just hoped that the number of this thing would not be too much. They only came about twenty, and they caused chaos among nearly forty people here, and if they entered the Huaxia territory, the disaster caused could be imagined.

Lin Xi also admired the prehistoric humans who lived on this land at this time. The prehistoric living environment is really much more sinister than later generations imagined. How hard did they have to defeat these predators and become the true masters of the land?

Lin Ji sighed slightly, and was about to order the exit from this low tree the same way, and recuperate outside for a few days before leaving.

"Enemy attack!"

Suddenly, another alarm sounded.

Lin Ji jumped on the elephant's back in a few strides and aimed his gun at the periphery. The other guards also rode elephants and surrounded the wounded in the middle, looking around.

The dwarf trees on all sides were still silent, except for the tip of a spear sticking out of the bushes and picking at the strange bird that had fallen on the ground. Then a man dressed in animal skins and wearing a low crown of feathers slowly walked out, looked at the strange birds on the ground, and looked up at the people sitting on the war elephants.

"Wait!" Lin Ji gave an order slowly, asking everyone not to release arrows.

"@#¥%......&" The man looked at this side, pointed to the strange bird on the ground, and said something. None of Lin Ji and the guards around him understood.

"&......%¥#@" In the middle of the herd, a voice of almost a syllable answered. It was the voice of the roasted sun.

Then, more spear tips slowly emerged from the bushes, and more people in similar costumes appeared.

Bayang got out from under the elephant's belly, waved his hand to Lin Ji, and said, "They should be from the Black Mountain tribe." He just asked if we had killed the bird. I said yes. Some of them have come to my Mao tribe, and they are considered to have befriended me. Don't let the arrows go yet. ”

"This is their territory? How did they end up here? Lin Ji asked.

As he spoke, hundreds of people had already poured out of the bushes. They were all young men with spears.

Lin Ji became vigilant, secretly looking for their leader in the crowd, hoping that in case of a conflict, he would shoot them off the head first.

But these people do not seem to be hostile. After they came out, their eyes were more at the strange birds on the ground, and when they looked up at the forest trail again, what appeared in their eyes was not hostility, it seemed to be...... Awe.

Bayang Balabala communicated with them, and in the crowd, one of the people wearing a white feather crown came out and communicated with Bayang Balabala. They talked and gestured, and the focus of the exchange seemed to be on the strange birds that had died on the ground.

As the two spoke, Lin Ji could feel that their gazes had become more respectful and eager.

"So, what the hell did you say?" Lin Ji asked.

Bayang said: "They are really people from the Black Mountain tribe. This is the edge of their territory, and they rarely come here. Now I am here to get rid of their demons. It's these big birds that we killed. They will come here once a year at this time of year, because this is when the demons eat the most people here......"

"So we helped them?"

"Yes."

"Then you tell them that we don't want to hurt them. We lay down our arms and also hoped they wouldn't get too close, and then we left. "In this era, there are so many different beliefs that it is very difficult for different tribes to communicate with each other. At this time, there were many wounded in the team, and Lin Ji didn't want to have too much contact with them.

"Probably not." Bayang Road.

"Why?" Lin Ji's gun was already aimed at the leader with the white crest. His guards also drew their bows with a creak.

"Because they said we had killed nine strange birds and had become their heroes, and they wanted to take us back to their tribe." Bayang gasped for breath before he said.

"Your uncle's." Lin Ji cursed in his heart, and when the muzzle of the gun slashed through Bayang's head, he almost fired. It's dangerous to talk and pant for breath, it's okay, it's almost going to die.

As the people on the side of the forest trail lowered their bows and spears, the people of the Black Mountain tribe on the opposite side finally cheered. One by one, they bowed their heads and patted their legs, and their mouths made rhythmic sounds, like the war songs of Ji Lin's previous harvests.

After communicating with the two sides for a while, the warriors of the Black Mountain tribe tied up the nine strange birds with long poles and rattans, lifted them up and led Lin Ji and the others to the southwest.

Their tribe is in the southwest.

Lin Ji asked, "This is going back?" They're all here, why don't they kill all the other demons and go back? ”

After Bayang translated, the leader of Montenegro explained to him for a long time, and then told Lin Ji: "They said that they come out every year and kill up to ten of these big birds. If you kill more, you will get more revenge. According to ancient legend, once they killed dozens of these birds, only to be attacked by hundreds of them when the warriors returned to the tribe. ”

"So many here?" Lin Ji was a little unconvinced. With this kind of bird's size, it will definitely not eat less, and this dwarf forest doesn't look very wide, even if it can hide so much, what do they eat?

After asking, he said, "They said that there are not so many here, but only in the spring." Other times, they don't come out in groups. ”

Lin Ji couldn't figure out the reason for this for a while, so he could only follow them on. If there were a few hundred of these strange birds living in this low wood, he would have to ask them about the other way north. Otherwise, you'll have to wait until summer, which is a waste of time.

When the warriors of Montenegro carried the strange bird away, they were extremely respectful to the ghost eagle standing on the strange bird. It's more respectful than to the forest trails.

This made the ghost eagle, which could barely fly, even more arrogant. Lin Ji originally wanted to train the ghost eagle so that it would not be so self-conscious, but when he saw this, he also extinguished his mind about training it.
