At the last moment, Donk arrived in time and pushed away Lolita, who was stupid on the spot, to save the little girl from doom. Everywhere the blood-red mist passed, it turned into liquefied stinking water. After Tang Ke pushed Lolita away, he hurriedly swung a sword into the sky, and the sword qi flew up, but it missed and turned invisible in the air.

Donk wasn't fast enough to teleport, he saw that Lolita was not far away, so he rescued him. And after the first glimpse of the Earl's Red Bird, he had already made a move.

"Hurry up and get out of the way!" Donk patted the frightened Lolita and stood up with his sword, surveying the blood-red shadow in the sky.

After Lolita came back to her senses, she said unadmittedly: "Even if you don't save me just now, I can avoid it by myself!" But at the end of the day, her feet were moving towards the village.

Donk didn't have the heart to talk to Lolita, just stared into the sky, and reminded at the same time: "Elizabeth, you should also hide in a safe place!" This strange bird is too fast, I'm afraid you'll make a mistake. ”

Elizabeth also stared at the high-speed moving red shadow, not stubborn, and retreated backwards step by step.

More than 300 stupid demonic beasts rushed over with long-pole muskets, and without giving an order, they took the initiative to shoot at the Earl Red Bird in the sky, and hundreds of muzzles were full of gunsmoke, and the bullets turned into a black barrage and scattered in the sky. However, this group of stupid demonic beasts did not grasp the timing of the shooting, resulting in the bullets not entering the effective range and shooting out one after another.

Although these muskets did not have a lethal effect, they still played a certain deterrent role like the sound of popping beans. The Earl's Red Bird screamed and circled in the air, not daring to fly down easily.

Donk knew in his heart that it was impossible to defeat the Earl Red Bird, and the best outcome was to drive the bird away, or wait for the bird to get tired and fly away on its own. He did not fight a battle that he was sure to lose, and instead of actively attacking, he kept trying to dodge, just to protect himself.

After the battle dragged on for a while, the large army in the village finally rushed over, a total of thousands of elves, led by a middle-aged male surnamed elf, wearing the most gorgeous golden feather robe, holding a long sword that looked very good quality, with a tiger's head carving on the hilt.

"Father!" Lolita hid in a wooden house and shouted happily through the window.

Tang Ke glanced at the menacing army, and his heart was slightly settled.

The Earl's Red Bird glared at the approaching army, let out a threatening cry, swooped down, grabbed the two elves who had fallen in a pool of blood, and flew away without looking back.

Tang Ke stared at the distant back of the Earl Redbird, withdrew his sword, and wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead.

By the time the large army arrived, the Earl's Red Bird had disappeared. Villagers in Caiyun Village were busy treating the wounded and blaming the strange birds that attacked people.

Lolita ran to her father's side, hugged her straight and strong legs, and rubbed them a few times.

"Father, two of our villagers have been captured by the Bloodlord Bird......" Lolita said with tears in her face, and she rubbed the village chief's pants wet.

"We will avenge our dead relatives in order to comfort their souls in heaven." The village chief sighed and patted his daughter's head.

"Yes." Lolita choked up a few times, then remembered something, pointed at Donk and said, "It was him just now...... Helped me a little. ”

The village chief looked at Donk, there was a little gratitude in his eyes, but it was more scrutiny, as if he wanted to peel off the layers of Tangk's camouflage with his gaze and see the depths of that soul. He quietly pushed his daughter's hand away, then walked up to Donk and said politely, "You're Captain Donk, aren't you?" I've heard from the villagers about you, and I already know about it. But this is not the place to talk, so let's find a place to talk. ”

"Then excuse me, please lead the way in front of the village chief." Donk replied with the same politeness. He glanced back at Elizabeth, motioned for her to stay and look after the Black Pearl, and then called two dumb beasts, carrying two large crates of wine.

The village chief also asked the people of the village to strengthen the guards to prevent the Earl's Red Bird from attacking again. Then he led the way to the village.

According to what the village chief just meant, it was obvious that he wanted to talk to Tang Ke alone, but Lolita obviously didn't understand what the heat was, and insisted on going along. It's no wonder that she was a little frightened just now, and she inevitably wanted to stay with her loved ones and seek a little comfort. The village chief hinted to Lolita to leave several times, but Lolita just wouldn't leave, he thought about it and said nothing more.

On the way, Tang Ke and the village chief were silent, and walked forward calmly.

The two of them naturally had countless questions in their hearts, but since they said that they wanted to find a place to talk slowly, no one was in a hurry to ask on the road. This can be regarded as a test of calmness.

Tang Ke inevitably had to use the investigation technique in secret to investigate the details of the village chief. It turned out that this village chief was a fourth-order swordsman, and he could basically fight to a tie with Tang Ke. It can be seen that although Caiyun Island admires swordsmen, its overall strength is also limited. In other words, it is not so easy to become a swordsman above the fourth order.

Swordsmen, like magicians, all depend on innate qualifications, and the number of people who can become swordsmen accounts for about one in three hundred to five hundred, and only one or two out of ten thousand people can achieve something. Rao is like this, swordsmen are also more numerous in this world, in comparison, warlocks and druids are even rarer.

Halfway through, Tonk looked around the street, a small island that was fairly flat and planted with trees that resembled pines, which were noticeably hardy and had a habit of growing at high altitudes. He also found some birds that were slightly larger than chickens and ducks, which seemed to have been domesticated by the people of Caiyun Village over a long period of time. In addition to the birds that can be kept in captivity, there are many wooden bird cages in the courtyards of many houses, some large and small, containing a variety of wild birds. The people of Caiyun Village, who live in the air, may only eat bird meat as their staple food.

As we go deeper into the island, the ten-story tower and the buildings at the bottom are also revealed, it turns out that there is not only a towering tower on this island, but also a large number of stone houses around the bottom of the tower, these houses are magnificent, they can be regarded as a small palace.

The towers and the stone structures were a huge project, and the island was so poor that the villagers could never have built them. Judging by the difference between stone and wooden buildings, the island may have two histories.

Donk learned more, but he was more confused.

Not only was Donk observing, but there were countless eyes around him observing this "short-eared" guy. Fortunately, Donk is used to being watched, and no matter how much attention he has, he can also be used as air.

After walking for a while, the village chief finally settled in front of a wooden house compound, but it was still a considerable distance from the stone complex in front of it.

"Please come in. Let's find a seat inside and sit down and talk slowly. The village chief stretched out his slender hand to the courtyard door.

"Father, why don't you take him to our house?" Lolita asked suspiciously.

"Lolita, guests have a tiring journey and will be very tired to walk any further. Wouldn't it be better to let him rest here for a while? The village chief said calmly.

"Oh." Lolita didn't delve further into the issue.

Tang Ke nodded to the village chief, strode into the courtyard, and after entering the house, he asked the stupid demon beast to put down the wine box, and said, "A small gift, not a tribute." ”

"You're so polite." The village chief laughed.

Donk shrugged indifferently, and said to himself, who let him ask for this village.

Lolita leaned over and grabbed a bottle of red wine, handed it to her father, and recommended: "This water is delicious, sweet, but I will get dizzy after drinking it." ”

"Oh, it's wine." The village chief didn't look much stunned.

"Father, you know this?"

"Lolita, you don't go to the village library very often, but there is a record of wine there." The village chief stroked his beloved daughter's head a few more times and stepped into the house.

Tang Ke and the village chief sat down at the table, and in addition to the two of them, there were Lolita, two dumb monsters, and four village swordsmen. Although the village chief had already ordered people to prepare food, and Tang Ke had brought some good wine, the people present obviously couldn't arouse their appetites, but chatted directly about business.

After the village chief sat down, he took the lead in opening the conversation and asked, "You seem to have good strength, I don't know how many swordsmen you are?" ”

Tang Ke was just about to answer truthfully, but he had more eyes and didn't want to tell the truth, if he exaggerated it, he could deter the other party, and if he was low-key, he could make the other party underestimate his strength and take a favorable advantage.

"I'm a third-order swordsman." Donk finally chose this answer, and he thought about it quickly, and he didn't hesitate at all.

"You are still a master of swordsmanship, which is really admirable."

"Where, where." Donk casually politely agreed, then went straight to the point, asking, "What's going on with that tower on the island?" ”

Lolita was keen to answer this question, and said, "You said 'Hidden Sword Tower'!" It's the ...... of the ancestors."

"Lolita, I'll answer that question. It's not okay to interject like this. The village chief smiled kindly and interrupted his daughter's narration, "Captain Donk, you're talking about the 'Hidden Sword Tower', which is the place where swords are stored on the island, similar to a warehouse. Captain Donk, I wonder how much food you've brought with you on board this time? What's in it? I'm interested in these delicacies. ”

Lolita was furious because she was interrupted to say something.

Donk felt as if the village chief was hiding something, but he didn't want to ask, and he replied about the stock of food on the ship, and he didn't hide it on this question.

The village chief nodded meaningfully, his eyes narrowed into crescent moons, and a bright light flashed in it, like a cold light flashing when he drew his sword.
