Human-faced birds
"That...... It can't be a rice dumpling, right? Ye Cheng pointed to the thing and asked in surprise.
The fat man's face was pale, cold sweat flowed, a person was behind him, he didn't even notice it at all, he didn't dare to move, his hand slowly made a shooting gesture, probably to let Pan Zi shoot.
Mengli was really afraid that Panzi would shoot, so she slashed Panzi's arm with one palm and snatched the gun away.
"What's wrong?" Pan Zi touched the wrist he had just been hit, and looked at Mengli with a puzzled expression, he knew that the "Qilin" must have a reason to do this.
Mengli ignored him, she looked at the "person" who suddenly appeared, and then looked around, thinking about how to lure this thing away.
Pan Zi wanted to ask something, but Monk Hua grabbed him and said, "Don't worry, take a look first, don't be a living person." ”
"Can you still be alive if you look like this?" Pan Zi said softly.
Monk Hua slowly shone it with a flashlight, and the man was illuminated by the light, and his head turned to them suddenly, and they saw a particularly strange face, his whole face was sunken, there was only one hole in the nose, the eye sockets were deformed, and the two eyes reflected the light of the flashlight like flashlights. It looks like an owl.
"This ...... Is it a night owl? Pan Ziyi felt relieved when he saw the true face of that man.
The fat man was still gesturing to them to shoot, but the gun had been snatched by Mengli, Pan Zi pointed at Mengli helplessly, stretched out his hand, and signaled that he didn't have a gun, the fat man was anxious, and began to stretch out the dagger on his waist, wanting to do it himself, but the thing seemed to feel the fat man's movement, and suddenly his sunken face was distorted, and the person leaned back, and suddenly his mouth opened, it was a two-inch-long fang! And the mouth is opening wider and wider, completely surpassing humans.
"Fatty, be careful!" Wu Xie hurriedly shouted.
Mengli quickly ran to the pillar and jumped up with a kick of the pillar, and a dagger flashed and flew directly into the mouth of the thing. The thing didn't have time to react before the dagger plunged into his throat, and he fell off the beam, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
The fat man slowed down for a moment, then reacted immediately, and he climbed from the beam to the post as fast as he could, and then slid down the pillar.
"You guys go quickly, and don't shoot whatever happens...... "Mengli paused, pointed to the beam where the fat man had just been, and continued, "If you don't want anything like this anymore." ”
At this time, Chen Pi Ah Si and Shunzi just rushed back, and they seemed to know what was going on, so they didn't need to explain more, they said a few words and ran forward together.
Fortunately, there are only three such things here, and they can still deal with it, and Mengli pays attention to the situation around her, and there are still two that need to be solved.
However, when Mengli heard a "bang-" sound behind him, he secretly screamed "Oh no" in his heart, and sure enough, he immediately heard the sound of tiles breaking from the roof of the temple, and it seemed that many things were climbing up to the roof of the temple, and the number was unimaginable. All of these things seemed to be attracted by the sound of the gunshot, and concentrated in that direction.
Yumeri sighed deeply and turned around and walked in the direction of the gunshot.
What they are encountering now is a human-faced bird. The human-faced bird, as the name suggests, is the body of a human-headed bird, and the monkey in the mouth is its digestive system.
Legend: The human-faced bird body is a fairly popular image in ancient mythology. Well-known ones such as the Yellow Emperor's son Yu Yu, and his son Yu Qiang (also known as Yu Jing), and then such as the great god of the East.
"The Classic of Mountains and Seas: The Great Wilderness of the North" says: "In the Zhu of the North Sea, there is a god, a human face and a bird body, and two green snakes trampling two red snakes, and the name is Yuqiang." "The Great Wilderness South Classic" says: "In the Zhu of the East China Sea, there is a god, a human face and a bird body, two yellow snakes, two yellow snakes, and two yellow snakes, the name is Yu Yu", and "Overseas East Classic" says "Oriental Jumang, bird body and human face, multiplying two snakes." "There are nine winds," in the great wilderness, there is a mountain called the Arctic Heavenly Cabinet, and the sea water is injected into the north. There are nine gods with human faces and bird bodies, and the name is nine phoenixes. "There are also five-colored birds," the mountain of Xuandan. There are five-colored birds, and human faces have hair. "And so on.
The gunshot just now was sent by the fat man, the fat man was frightened by such a sudden appearance of the thing and broke out in a cold sweat, when Mengli warned them that they must not shoot, he was completely excited, and did not hear Mengli's warning at all, just fiddled with the gun in his hand, thinking that as long as this thing appeared, he would shoot him with one shot.
So when Wu Xie and the others ran into that thing when they fled, the fat man shot without saying a word, Pan Zi and Wu Xie wanted to stop it but it was too late, as soon as the gunshots rang out, all these things around were attracted over.
Mengli saw the "Imperial Tomb Boundary Monument", and the stone bridge in front of it had collapsed, so it could only be reached by jumping over an abyss about five or six meters wide.
I just saw that Wu Xie was jumping, wanting to jump over the abyss, but a huge human-faced bird swooped down to the upper left of him, grabbed his collar in the air, and suddenly hooked his clothes with its claws, bringing him to the side, and then as soon as the claws were released, Wu Xie fell directly from the air into the abyss.
Mengli actually ran to the edge of the cliff all of a sudden, jumped, hugged Wu Xie in the air, and fell into the abyss with him, in the process of falling, she saw the iron chain, and immediately grabbed it with her hand, and then continued to go down, and grabbed another iron chain, when she got to the ground, she also rolled a few times with Wu Xie in her arms, this time after a series of buffers, so she didn't fall very hard, it was just skin trauma.
"Mengli, are you alright?" Wu Xie hurriedly asked, "Why are you so stupid to jump down with me." ”
"I'm fine," Meng Li let go of Wu Xie and smiled, "It's right to protect a 'tomb robber' like you." ”
......Wu Xie, who was said to be a "tomb robber", was a little embarrassed, but in fact, he was no longer a novice, and it could be said that he was a "beginner to tomb robbing".
Wu Xie thought of their current situation, and looked up, the moat could be at least ten meters high, and it was gray above, and he could only see the fat man's flashlight shining down from above, paddling around, as if searching for them, and he could hear some shouts.
Suddenly, I heard the shouting from above: "Little Third Master...... Little Third Master, are you okay? Pan Zi rowed down the ramp and hurriedly ran to Wu Xie's side to check Wu Xie's body.
Then they realized that they were separated from Chen Pi Ah Si and Monk Hua, and now there were only Shunzi, Fat Man, Pan Zi, Wu Xie and Mengli left, but with Mengli, a master, they were not very afraid.
Then, they learned that Shunzi was the one who was arranged by the third uncle to bring Wu Xie and them here, and they also left clues for them.
