CH.233 Earl Redbird
Caiyun Village, guessing from the first impression of this place name, should be just a simple small village. But when Donk stood on this land, his previous guess was completely overturned, and it had nothing to do with the word simplicity here.
"Ding! This is not a coastal port or island, so it is not possible to activate all kinds of information here. ”
Donk checked the system prompt and shook his head in disappointment, so that he could only learn about the things on the island by contact.
This land suspended in the sea of clouds is so large that it is impossible to judge by visual inspection alone, and many wooden houses have been built on this endless land. These wooden houses of varying heights and staggered form a large complex of houses, shops, and workshops.
Surrounded by these ordinary wooden houses, stands a majestic tower with ten floors, overlooking the whole island. The body of the tower is plain gray-black, with an obvious Western-style style, the four corners are right angles, the bottom is wide, and it shrinks step by step, showing an awl-shaped, like a black animal horn piercing the sky. On the surface of the tower, there is a sword-shaped relief on each floor, because the tower is so majestic that some silhouettes can be seen even from a distance.
With this tall tower alone, Caiyun Village is enough to shatter the adjective "simple". Without those unsightly wooden houses, the towers would be even more majestic. This tower has the imposing air of royal talent, and it makes people awe when they see it.
Obviously, the secret hidden in Caiyun Village must have a direct connection with the tower, and all the answers may be in it.
Donk looked up at the tower for a long time, and if it weren't for other things around him, he would have continued to watch.
Led by five small boats, the Black Pearl successfully reached the pier of Caiyun Village. As soon as she landed on the shore, Lolita, a little girl who couldn't stay idle, ran away without a trace, shouting all the way "an outsider is coming" and something like that, which suddenly broke the tranquility of Caiyun Village.
Lolita, the captain, was gone, and the tall elf had to take charge, and he told Donk to wait where he was, and not to wander around. Then, he claimed that he was going to ask the village chief to come over, and he quickly left.
Donk, Elizabeth, and a group of goofy monsters were all left on the ship. Worried that the untamable beasts would get into trouble, Donk strictly ordered them not to move and stay on the ship. He only brought two stupid monsters as porters, and some drinks as a greeting gift, then disembarked and passed the dock pontoon.
With Lolita's loud voice spreading the word, the elves of the village quickly gathered towards the dock and observed the uninvited guests from a distance.
I have to say that elves are really a race favored by the heavens, and a large group of people like them can't pick out an ugly person. Although they all wore crude and rudimentary birdskin feathers, they still had an innate elegance. They whispered, looking at the visitor with curiosity. There were some timid children who showed frightened expressions when they saw the dumb beast.
In addition to these, the elves of Caiyun Village also have a common characteristic, they are equipped with swords on their waists, regardless of men, women and children, most of them are wooden swords, and only a few people are equipped with real swords. This Caiyun Village obviously has an atmosphere of advocating kendo.
Tang Ke carefully observed the villagers, and from the feeling that these villagers seemed to be a little afraid of life. I heard Lolita say that there has never been a visit from outsiders here, and it is normal for villagers to be afraid of life. These villagers are armed with swords, and the folk customs can be a bit belligerent and rugged. He had to find out the surnames of the villagers so that he could be sure of his safety on the island.
He used the investigation technique on several villagers and got the desired results.
Just like the patrol team to which Lolita belongs, anyone who wears a metal sword is a qualified swordsman, and those who wear a wooden sword are just ordinary people. It can be seen that there should be a lack of metal ore here, and it is impossible to forge iron tools in large quantities, and only the strong can wear real swords, and others can only wear wooden swords to pretend.
If we further deduce it, the island has indeed lost contact with the outside world, so there is no way to obtain supplies through the outside world. Also because of the isolation, only the swordsman profession on the island has been passed down from generation to generation, and nothing is known about other professions.
Donk chuckled, there was a scarcity of supplies here, and maybe his few bottles of wine could be a welcome stepping stone.
Elizabeth had been observing quietly, and after observing for a while, she nodded, and said in a voice that only those around her could hear: "The people here seem to be very vigilant, but this is also reasonable. Many of them have scars from the battle, and they should fight often, but Lolita said before that there is only one village here, Caiyun Village, so who are they fighting against? Our side is clearly at a disadvantage, so let's be careful. ”
She analyzes many things keenly, and because of the woman's attentiveness, she notices many details that Donk did not find.
For example, the decorations on the clothes of the villagers are almost all in the shape of birds, which shows that this is their totem.
"My lady of the ballast can really take care of my worries. Come, give you a kiss. Donk leaned his mouth in the middle of nowhere.
"No, there are so many people watching. Besides, your mouth is full of wine, and you can't kiss it. Elizabeth pushed Donk away, looking at the elven villagers' reactions with some humility.
Donk didn't get a taste of the sweetness, sighed pitifully, and continued to wait where he was.
The village chief didn't come for a long time, but Lolita ran back in a hurry, and she shouted as she ran: "Short-eared, why are you still standing there stupidly?" Before you go into the village to look around, I'll take you around the 'Hidden Sword Tower', which is the most majestic place in the village. ”
She ran closer, pulled Tonk's pants and walked towards the village. Some cautious villagers immediately reminded them, saying that they should wait for the village chief to deal with outsiders, and that the Hidden Sword Pagoda was not a place where outsiders could go.
"No need, I'll wait here for your father to come." Donk smiled and refused, he wasn't going to wander around until he was sure of a friendly relationship between the two sides.
"Oh, you're such a lump of wood, what's the point of seeing my father." Lolita pouted, her face was unhappy, she caught a glimpse of the wine bottle in the wooden box held by the dumb monster in her arms, her eyes rolled, she went up and snatched a bottle, laughing as she ran, "Haha, this is mine." ”
Donk was happy to get a pretty little girl drunk, but it was not the time to do that, and he could only watch helplessly as Lolita ran around with a bottle of red wine.
Lolita's child's behavior eased the atmosphere present, and some villagers smiled.
Suddenly, a huge shadow appeared on the ground, and this shadow quickly swept over the heads of the villagers. Just the size of the shadow is enough to judge how huge the creature above the head is. The shadow is bird-shaped, with wings and a long, pointed tail.
Whether it was the villagers or the stupid demonic beasts on the ship, they all reacted quickly and looked at the sky one after another. The dumb-headed beasts roared and looked up for the shadow's owner.
"Not good! It's the 'Blood Master Bird' here! The old man and the child quickly hid, and the others fought with me! An elven man with an iron sword at his waist shouted. A large group of elves scattered, some hiding in the house, some drawing their swords and preparing to fight.
If you're dealing with flying enemies, using a bow and arrow as a weapon is the best option. However, due to the lack of materials to make bows and arrows, people can only fight with short weapons.
Donk immediately protected Elizabeth, and at the same time drew his sword, looked at the sky vigilantly, and judged the unusual sound of wind in the air by hearing, and found the huge bird-like monster.
It was a big one, even bigger than a dragon eagle, with a wingspan of twenty-five yards, like a pterodactyl. It resembles a mixture of birds, beasts, and dragons, and is odd and fierce.
It has the head and wings of a bird, but has the limbs and claws of a beast, and its tail is as narrow and spiked as a scorpion's tail. Its entire body was covered in armor like dragon scales, and that armor felt unbreakable. It looked flawless, except for its abdomen, which looked soft and should be able to do damage. Its belly is bloated, clearly contrary to its anatomy, and it looks as if it is pregnant.
Called the "Blood Master Bird" by the elves, it moves very fast, and its body is wrapped in a strange red shadow, like a mutated fire phoenix when it soars in the sky.
Donk mentally measured the distance between the two sides, and he was sure that even if he used the investigation technique, he could turn off the interface before the other party flew over, which was safe.
Earl Red Bird (Blood Master Bird is just the name given to it by Caiyun Village):
Race: Bird Monster Clan.

The main material used to make them is the body of the Bloodline, and the other materials are from a variety of powerful monsters, which are mixed together, making it a new kind of monster that is not like the other. In addition to this, their bones are engraved with magic circles that can be passed down from generation to generation, and the magic circles have the terrifying effect of extracting blood energy from blood.
They inherit some of the power of the Bloodline, feed on blood, and can regenerate for a long life. Because of these characteristics, they are known as "Earl Redbirds".
Unlike the bloodlines, they can reproduce by conception, so the population is very large, which once left an unforgettable nightmare for the people of ancient times. But after the unknown catastrophe, their race was almost extinct, and only a handful survived.
Bonus points after killing: 1000.
Tang Ke scanned the attack stats as fast as he could, and then turned them off directly, not having time to read the other introductions. He now had a clearer understanding of the strange bird, but it scared him.
If you measure it numerically, this strange bird called Earl Red Bird is even more terrifying than Michael's guy!
"Be careful, it's coming!" Elizabeth's shrill voice exploded in Donk's ears.
Donk looked into the sky, and saw that the Earl Redbird was swooping in this direction after circling in the sky, and under the wings of the Earl Redbird, it was wrapped in an almost sharp air current. His eyes narrowed, and he noticed that the Earl Redbird's mouth was slightly open, and there was a red glow inside, which was a very dangerous offensive signal.
"It's corrosion!"
Tonk let out a loud shout, grabbed Elizabeth's arm, and ran out of the way. He had not run a few steps before he heard a "whoosh" sound behind him, and when he looked back, there was a large red mist rising like a thousand snakes dancing wildly, and the plants on the ground and the corners of the houses not far away were corroded and slowly melted, emitting a pungent strange smell.
The Earl's Red Bird moved very fast, and after spitting out the bone-eating blood mist, it immediately disappeared, and when people found it again, it had already killed it from another direction. It frantically swung its four claws, and with just that, it unleashed a full sixteen rays of red energy, and these sharp currents of air went straight to the crowd, raging and slashing the five elves to scars.
The elves on the ground swung their swords to attack, but they didn't even touch the strange birds.
Donk couldn't hide it anymore at this time, and he ordered the dumb beast to take out the musket in the cabin and use it to shoot the Earl Redbird. The nerd-headed monsters quickly took out their muskets, each with one in hand, and ran over the wooden bridge at the docks.
After a while, the Earl Red Bird carried out a new round of destruction, either spitting blood mist or releasing red energy, causing the elves to suffer heavy casualties.
"Humph! If you dare to come down, let this swordsman chop you in half with a sword! Lolita shouted bravely.
I don't know if I really heard it, or if I happened to want to do it, anyway, after circling in the air, the Earl Redbird aimed at Lolita's location, and plunged down, and the red light in its mouth lit up again.
With just a little mist, Lolita's silky skin can be completely incinerated to the ground.
"You ...... Yes! ”
Lolita was still screaming, but she swallowed it back in the middle of the sentence, and all that was left in her eyes was horror and the hideous shadow of the Earl's red bird.
There was no mercy in the Earl's red bird's mind, and it opened its mouth and spewed out the bone-eating blood mist.
