Chapter 18: The Timebringer The Bird of Surprise

Du Fei sighed, the intelligent computer in his hand fell to the ground, his hands and head guards hurriedly ran back, the formation contracted, the reconnaissance mecha surrounded the team members, and Bai Ming and I were on the left and right sides of the mecha, and the battle mode was launched in an instant, and the artificial skeleton of the combat suit instantly expanded.

We watched the statues on both sides of the stairs instantly change from stone statues to strange birds full of feathers, and the one that pounced on Du Fei was grabbed by him with lightning speed. We can't speculate at all. How did the bird change from the stone, Du Fei shouted: "Catch this strange bird, we have to bring it back to the research room to study its ability, this will be a major breakthrough." ”

Before the words fell, a thick fog erupted from the mouth of the strange bird, Du Fei turned his head and hurriedly avoided it, and when the fog did not disperse, the strange bird instigated its wings, and the fog condensed around it and made a thunder and lightning sound.

"Let go!" "Let go!"

Bai Ming and I shouted at the same time, Du Fei don't look fat, after all, he is also professionally trained, and his reaction is still very sensitive, and he saw that the position where he was standing before was hit by a thunderbolt from the mist protruding from the strange bird in an instant.

Shao Xun punched out, and with the click of the defensive suit, the strange bird flew far away, and he looked at the stairs and said in a low voice: "Trouble." ”

Following the prestige, all the statues on both sides of the corridor woke up, and they shook off the feathers on their bodies, and slowly opened their eyes on the strange face after sleeping for a long time.

Du Fei exclaimed: "Oh my God, how do they keep their stone form immortal, is this a vampire!" And that terrible mist can condense thunder and lightning, please be sure to catch this creature and let us study it, I believe that we can give birth to more powerful weapons! ”

"Don't talk nonsense, let's solve the problem at hand first and then discuss and study!" I broke out and stood left and right with Bai Ming, and the four large reconnaissance mechs spread out the defense matrix.

As soon as the words fell, several strange birds that were closer to us had already rushed towards us, crashing into the defense matrix with a clang, and Bai Ming quickly rushed out and drew a long sword from his waist.

This sword was not used against me in the first place, and after seeing her fighting style, I sighed that I was glad that it did not deal with me. It is a multi-knotted metal hand, and the twitching of the sword wrist can be used to form a straight sword slash, or a soft whip to slash, which is very suitable for mercenaries who make up for lack of strength skills.

In a trance, Bai Ming had already packed up three or four strange birds that were rushing towards us, and I was unceremonious, opened the skeleton device of the combat uniform, and directly killed several strange birds with my bare hands.

Du Fei was wrapped in the matrix, and quickly knocked on the computer, checking similar information, and Shaoxun was able to do it without doing it at this time because of the inconvenient defensive suit, I originally wanted to pull a helper, but I didn't expect it to become a tactical guide.

"White one, you are agile and your weapons are long, you are responsible for breaking up the flock, don't let them gather in a pile! Z you quickly clear the monster in front of us, we move slowly and rush over! Shao Xun's rich combat experience quickly saw the situation in front of him, and commanded the team in an orderly manner, and his colleagues in the reconnaissance mecha were originally stunned, but later began to move after receiving the instructions of the white man, acquiescing in Shao Xun's tactics.

The team slowly moved forward, and the lightning in the small clouds and mist struck the matrix with bursts of electric light, and cracks even appeared in the shells of one or two reconnaissance mechs. We quickly attacked the gathered flock of birds, and Bai Ming's elegant fighting style formed bursts of white light in this dark space, even if the strange birds didn't have many means, but we still didn't have the upper hand.

"Damn, they are too densely gathered, and our armor situation is not optimistic in the face of fierce attacks." The reconnaissance mecha took the lead in raising the alarm, and Bai Ming was also lacking in skills, even if the electric shock of the cloud and mist did not have much destructive power, the pain was also a headache.

I wandered around the team, already scorched by electricity, the battle suit could only alleviate some of the pain, gritting my teeth, I used a lightsaber to slash, the laser did a lot of damage to the flesh of the strange bird, but due to the number and air superiority, it was difficult for me to control the battlefield for a while.

"Oh my God, stop them, I see a crowd over there gathered into a big cloud, be careful! Thunder and lightning are coming. ”

Du Fei exclaimed in surprise and pointed to a small group of strange birds gathered together. Wow! A flash of lightning came quickly, directly smashing the defense matrix, and the leaked energy made a loud sound on the wrist of the reconnaissance mecha, and the mercenary operator inside was shocked and crouched.

Shao Xun couldn't stay any longer, he pressed a pillar next to the stairs, twisted it down alive, and shouted: "Xiaolu, you go left, I go right, you can't let more than a dozen of them gather together, Du Fei, have you found any information." ”

Du Fei didn't answer, and continued to bury his head in the computer, I obeyed Shaoda's order, and rushed to the right, the lightsaber flickered and slashed, knocking down the strange birds that were blocking the road. Shaoxun used the stone pillar as a shield to block the attack, and smashed it with a fist, and the ferocious fist exploded under the heavy armor in bursts of airwaves, although it could not quickly knock down a large number of strange birds, but it was better than nothing.

Soon, Bai Ming broke through to the top of the corridor, and the strange birds never attacked Bai Ming again, as if their attack range was only the enemy in the corridor, and Bai Ming did not expect that he would break through alone as the main station, but the large army was trapped in the corridor, and he would be attacked by the strange birds again, and he was also in a hurry.

The reconnaissance mecha is struggling, moving very slowly under attack, and it has been a while and it has not taken a few steps. I have the ability to escape, but I can't leave behind such a few big living people, especially Du Fei and Shao Xun, if they are slashed by the energy clouds of a large number of strange birds, they can basically lose their mobility.

"There you have, there you have it!" Du Fei spoke quickly

"I found out that this strange bird is very similar to the indigenous bird that used to be on the tropical island, with a human version of the face, indeed a human body, but the indigenous bird on the data does not have this ability to release thunder and lightning, I will look at it again, sound waves, to attack them with sound waves, because of long-term evolution, this bird has no ears, and its fragile skull is very afraid of the frequency of sound waves."

Sound wave? Shaoxun understood something, he cut off the stone pillars on both sides, ran to the side of the reconnaissance mecha, and used the stone pillars to cut down the deck on his back. The friction between the stone pillar and the metal made a screeching sound, and many strange birds really hid their faces and fled.

"Good opportunity, let's take advantage of this to go up." I also returned to the team, and the two of them shook off the strange birds that attacked us, one left and one right, while the reconnaissance mech still deployed its defense to resist attacks from afar. The team began to move again, and we slowly moved forward, sonic sonic on the enemy when a strange bird approached.

"No, the sound waves you've created are too short to attack long-range enemies, and they're condensing big clouds again."

Another burst of lightning struck, and the wrists of the reconnaissance mecha were trembling, and I was afraid that these servants would not be able to bear it if they continued to fight.

Du Fei was a little anxious, it might be extremely undesirable for him to lose a companion, the two mecha that had been on the top for a long time retreated, and the two in the back came up, there was still some distance from the top, and when we looked up, we found that Bai Ming, who was trying to help us just now, was no longer there.

"I'm X, this woman is unreliable." As soon as I said a sentence, Shao Xun pushed back: "Shut up, she must have found a good way to have confidence in her companions." ”

There was a loud bang, and the entire corridor shook.

This is the bell, and Bai Ming seems to have found the big bell. This sound not only made us shake a few times, but when the strange birds heard the bell, they all stopped, staying in place and unable to move.

"It's broken, Lord Bai has found a way to crack the corridor."

The strange birds began to line up in a line from the rush to attack us, with clear distinction between the left and the right, except for those we had killed, and the rest flew back to both sides in an orderly manner according to the position of the stone pillars, and turned into stone pillars again.

We walked as fast as we could for the rest of the way, and when we reached the top of the corridor, I looked back, and the strange birds were looking at us in the same direction, that is, at the top of the corridor, which was terrifying.

"How can there be a bell here just to restrain these birds, or is it that the maker of this corridor himself used the bell to subdue this bird and let them attack outsiders." Du Fei muttered.

"I don't know, when I came up, I found that this group of birds did not attack the people who were already standing on it at all, I wanted to go down to help you, but I found that our current methods did not help them, this kind of corridor could not be attacked with thermal weapons at all, it was easy to cause collapse, as soon as I turned around, I saw a bell not far away, that position was really deliberate, when Du Fei said that the sound wave could be restrained, I tried to beat it with the greatest force, but I didn't expect to really subdue these birds." Bai Ming had already returned to the team at this time.

"What's interesting is that the cracking of the mechanism is in front of the mechanism, isn't it a welcome ceremony? This place is getting more and more interesting, although the attacks of this bird are not particularly powerful, but they are also very troublesome for ordinary humans and ordinary armed equipment. Shaoxun was also thoughtful.

"Come and see, there's something strange on this bell!" As soon as I didn't pay attention, Du Fei had already run to the side of the bell, he beckoned us to go over and have a look, Bai Ming asked the four servants of the reconnaissance mecha to take advantage of the time to take a breath to quickly repair the mecha and recover their physical strength on the spot, and then we ran to Du Fei's side.

We put four lampposts on the four sides of the bell, and under the illumination of the lamp, the bell revealed its full picture.

This is the standard ancient musical instrument clock, with a vivid portrait carved into the huge clock face. Du Fei watched carefully with a magnifying glass, his hands kept groping, like an old pervert. "Oh, I see, and this way, it's magical." He was talking to himself, his expression already deep in it, and we couldn't see any tricks, so we could only wait for the scholar to finish watching.

"The bell is carved by a palace in the sky, which, under the leadership of the great gods, has been bringing abundant fruits to mankind in ancient times. Every autumn, a large number of indigenous people would come to the palace in the sky to pray for food, and the benevolent bird monarch would let his people share the food reserves with the humans, so when the appointed time came, the humans would bow down here, and a large amount of food would fall from the sky. ”

I looked at the picture of the big tree on the clock, and I was stunned that I didn't see anything famous. "Where there is a palace, there is a king."

Du Fei glanced at me: "Big brother, archaeology is understood by text translation, this is not looking at pictures and paintings, do you think everyone is a primary school student?" ”

"When humans had food, they began not to worship their own king, so the army began to march, and they first collected all the food given by the birds, and then sent envoys to negotiate with the king of birds, asking for no interference with the people of both sides, so the birds refused the rudeness of the army, so there were human officials who poisoned the food, and the misunderstood flock of birds broke out with the humans."

"And then?" Before I could ask, Bai Ming spoke first.

"There is no record of what happened in the future, it should be that the big bell was left here in the war, this bell should be used by humans to deal with the bird clan, but they should not expose their weaknesses to the enemy, the position of this bell is very boring, and the detailed text and picture records, as if, it seems that the maker is mocking this race."

"Hmph, human beings are like this, selfish and boring, in order to satisfy powerful desires to do some unbelievable behavior, especially men, I found that the more men are in power, the more chaotic the era becomes." Bai Ming snorted coldly.

"Auntie, you can't beat all men to death with a stick, and there are different cultures in different time periods, how can you judge who is good and who is bad, narrow-minded. You don't look for a man, don't leave a queen for the Bai family? ”

"You!"

Looking at me and Bai Ming arguing, Shao Xun smiled slightly, and then went over to look at the reconnaissance mecha of several mercenaries again. Du Fei quickly passed the information on the ruins to his teacher Lobo, and when everyone was busy, I began to look at the environment above.

It's a very empty and large site, and unlike the garden buildings below, the buildings above are more like corridors, so I'm more careful when I know what I've learned.

The darkness here was not as strong as it was below, and I began to spread out the power of time to carefully examine my surroundings, although the environment here was a bit complicated, I quickly found a way out, and now we are at the entrance, and the large bell is like a tombstone in the front, paying tribute to the humiliating history of the birds. There are many corridors, but the final direction leads to two exits, inside the stone pillars are lined up, there are platforms above each stone pillar, like a bird's habitat, but there is no nest shape to shelter from the wind and rain, and the position of the platform on the stone pillar is not big or small, just enough to stop a big bird, can not help but make people suspicious.

After I regained the power of time, the team was ready to set off again, bypassing the bell, and multiple corridors appeared in front of me, which was very unfavorable to the reconnaissance mecha. In the face of this multi-road terrain, the mercenary has an automatic pathfinding robot ball, and the reconnaissance mecha releases multiple pathfinding robot balls, which quickly roll in all directions, and soon the image here appears in Du Fei's intelligent computer.

"It's all the same terrain here, the same stone pillars, it stands to reason that birds don't need corridors to pass, I suspect that this is a big square, because it is divided into upper and lower floors, the top is where the birds stop, and the bottom is the corridor of the bird drama, sure enough, the teacher is right, this is likely to be the palace of the bird king on the big clock, and the big bird has obtained the power of the gods, it was the patron saint of our ancient civilization, this time God bless us Huaxia, and the power of the patron saint of our C country will definitely not be worse than the empire."

Du Fei muttered, his eyes shining, Bai Ming snorted, seeing the supreme sense of honor of these two people, Shaoxun and I glanced at each other, showing a relieved smile, even if there are many ups and downs ahead, I firmly believe that we all have a way to overcome all difficulties.
