Chapter XXII: Expulsion

The three women on the terrace, all sweaty, haggard, the ceremony just now seemed to have squeezed them dry, the woman at the head looked even more energetic, she was panting rapidly, her eyes were foggy, her face became a lot haggard, she couldn't even stand on her feet, if it wasn't for Haori jumping to support her, she should have fallen to the ground at this moment.

Several birdmen flew up to the terrace, dragged the unconscious Long Shao, and flew to another smaller building next to him.

The men and women below saw that the crisis had been lifted, and they cheered with their harpoons below, and the girls played their instruments again, shouting the same word, repeating it over and over again, as if to celebrate and sing. “whakanui!”

Suddenly, a few feathers flew towards me and Yu Ge, as fast as sharp arrows, Yu Ge hurriedly blocked the front, and hurriedly cast a spell to resist, but the power was too fast and too unexpected, and the two of us fell directly to the ground.

The woman shouted. “tahea!”

The birdmen under the terrace began to notice me and Yuge, and they began to stare at me viciously, gritting their teeth, and in the blink of an eye, they all flew over and surrounded us.

One of the strong men actually picked up the harpoon and stabbed me in the head, Yu Ge grabbed the harpoon, yelled at him, and then pushed it forward, and the strong man fell to the ground.

"Little bastard! Who got you back! The woman on the terrace shouted at Yu Ge.

"I can come back to my own home if I want to, and I will use you to take care of it?" Yu Ge did not show weakness at all.

"Haori! Bring me your bastard sister and that human! The woman's face turned blue with rage, and she commanded in a trembling voice, turning and following the other two women into the great bird's nest behind them.

Haori walked up to us and helped us up, "Sister! Why are you so willful, you just came back and got angry with your mother! "She's obviously softer now than when she first met us, and even a little pleading." You must not contradict your mother for a while, she has saved that human being, can't you say thank you? ”

"Humph! I would never say that! Yu Ge looked disdainful.

Her mother didn't have any trouble, and it was really a bit unexpected that she had cast such a physically demanding spell to save Long Shao before she met me and Yu Ge.

And Yu Ge's appearance just now looked really a little rude, completely different from what she looked like when she was in Qingdao. It was as if as soon as she saw her mother, she became quite unreasonable.

We followed Haori as we approached the largest nest, which was already breathtaking from the outside, with countless wooden strips of large and small weaving in such a perfect work of art. But when I got closer, I realized that the inside of the nest was even more exquisite than the outside.

The walls of the nest appear to be all pasted with white feathers, which are stitched together by stitches and threads, and not a single trace of them is visible as far as the eye can see. There were many branches growing on the walls, and though they had not taken root in the earth, they were still thick and thick, and birds of different colors were perched on them, and they did not chirp, but stared at me motionlessly. At the very end of the nest, the three chiefs sat on a suspended stump with new vines growing around Yuge's mother, as if to feed her, and the women sat on either side of her, all on top of a giant plantain leaf.

The interior of the nest was very empty, and I walked nearly a hundred steps from the doorway to the leader's position, and I counted my steps because I was really scared, and every step was difficult.

As I got closer, I stole a glance at Yuge's mother with the rest of my eyes, unlike before the spell was cast, her face was now burnt yellow, and her face suddenly had a few more wrinkles, but these did not hide her original charm, I think she must have been more beautiful than her daughter when she was young.

She suddenly noticed that I was secretly watching her. He glared at me viciously. "Human, what do you look at ......"

In the middle of her sentence, she suddenly stopped and muttered to herself. "Impossible, absolutely impossible......"

I hurriedly saluted her. "Thank you for saving my friend, and we will repay you for your great kindness."

She didn't react to my words of thanks, closed her eyes and ignored me. The vines that wrapped around the leader were getting denser and denser, and it looked like she needed more nutrients to heal. In just a few moments, the wrinkles on her face looked like they had subsided a lot.

"Yuge! Don't you know the rules of the island? She asked Yu Ge in a pale and hoarse voice, this leader looked like he was thirty years old, but his voice was as old as a man in the last days, perhaps it was the spell just now that made her age a lot in a short time. Who told you to bring them up. ”

"This man saved my life before, his friend was poisoned, and in order to repay him, I took his friend to Bird Island, wanting to see if you, a ruthless person, would save him." Yu Ge said confidently.

"Presumptuous!" The leader roared. "Believe it or not, I immediately ordered these two humans to be thrown into the sea to feed the fish!"

"That's really your style." Yu Ge said sarcastically.

Haori hurriedly stepped forward to mediate. "Mother, Yuge has finally come back, why don't we hear what she has seen in the human world? The fish-people are going to attack our island soon, or is this matter important, and the affairs of these two humans can be put aside. More on that later. ”

The female leader sighed and said no more.

"Sister...... Tell your mother about the information you got in Qingdao, so that she won't be angry with you, obedient! Haori whispered in her sister's ear.

Yu Ge said nonchalantly. "Those fishmen have gathered tens of thousands of people, stolen nearly 100 human ships, and are preparing to attack here on the day of Qixi Festival."

"Who's the leader?" Haori asked.

"It's a hermaphroditic horseshoe crab demon, he has superb magic power, and he usually hides his identity as a dispenser in a bar in Qingdao. He was the one who poisoned the human being. Yu Ge explained.

The female leader was stunned for a moment, and an inexplicable panicked look appeared on her face.

"Yes...... He. ”

"I almost died at the hands of those fishmen in order to gather information for you, but fortunately this human friend rescued me." Yu Ge said indifferently to her mother. "You shouldn't be happy, though, because you've long wished I was dead."

I couldn't help but tug at Yu Ge hard underneath, her tone was a little excessive.

"What did you say?" The female leader looked terrified. "You! You were spotted by the Fish-Man? They found out who you were as a birdman. ”

"That's right! I almost died. ”

"You! You bastard. You've fallen for the fish-man's trick! The female leader suddenly stood up and broke the vines that were wrapped around her. How could a fish-man poison an ordinary human for no apparent reason? They must have known about your relationship with these two humans, so they planted tracking signals on the humans in order to quickly locate Bird Island. ”

These words made everyone panic, and also answered my long-standing doubts, and I never understood why the fish-man would poison an ordinary person with the dragon, and when she said this, everything understood.

Haori also looked panicked. "Mother and the other two elders are exhausted and have a lot of vitality, I'm afraid they won't be able to participate in the battle in the short term, if the fishmen attack at this time, how can we resist?"

"Those fishmen are probably already preparing to attack our island, and the surrounding waters are estimated to be full of their army now, this bastard girl is going to kill everyone!" The female leader said in despair.

For a while, all the spearheads were pointed at Yu Ge, and she was stunned and silent.

"Mother, my sister is also unintentional, it is useless to blame her now, we should quickly think of some way." Haori hurriedly excused her sister.

"Sister, you don't have to speak for me, anyway, whatever I do is wrong. Whatever you do, you will be blamed. Yu Ge said sadly. It would have been better for me to die at the hands of the fish-man if I had known this, anyway, I was just an illegitimate daughter who no one cared for. ”

Bastard daughter! This word was like the last bottom line of the female leader, she couldn't hold back any longer, and stepped forward and slapped Yu Ge hard.

Yu Ge was knocked to the ground, but she didn't cry out in pain or resist, she just stared at the female leader tenaciously and unyieldingly, and her eyes didn't blink.

"Get out of Bird Island with your human friends right now." The female leader roared.

"I'm not leaving! I'm going to keep appearing in front of you and keep you awake!" ”

The atmosphere became more and more stiff, and I could feel the coldness between the eyes of the two, and everyone else in the hall was silent, and even Haori didn't dare to excuse her sister at the moment.

"Good...... You're not leaving, are you? "The female leader was furious." Then lock you up with your friends! ”

“hao! hao! ”

It only seemed to be a bit noisy outside, and I paused for a moment to realize that the sounds were all directed at me and Yuge, and the wooden door of the big bird's nest made a dull noise, and the group of birdmen outside rushed in at once, and waved their harpoons angrily, as if they were about to tear us apart. It didn't look good, and Yu Ge blocked me behind me.

"Mother, don't do this!" Haori shouted. "Yuge, take your friend out of here!"

A few harpoons flew straight at me, shimmering with a dazzling cold light.

I didn't expect them to be really ruthless, but this sudden attack shocked me, and my feet were weak. I tried to dodge the harpoons but my body wouldn't listen, death was looming, and I could even imagine myself being shot through the head.

A few feathers were suddenly blown in front of my eyes by the wind, and they actually caught the harpoons thrown by the birdmen with all their might, and the tips of the harpoons collapsed like airtight balloons the moment they touched the soft feathers, and a few harpoons fell to the ground with a dull sound, while the feathers still swayed lightly in the air.

I only heard the leader cough dryly twice behind me, and when I looked back, my face, which had been slightly ruddy, had now faded to the original pale, it turned out that she had just cast a spell to block the harpoons, only this time the spell had increased the load on her body a little.

"I'll give you one last chance, take your friends out of here!" The leader said to Yu Ge in a weak voice. "Never come back!"

Yu Ge's eyes were full of tears at this time, and she grabbed me and jumped hard, and flew out of the doorway.
