When she first left Qingyuan Village, Lu Meng seemed to be chatty, always asking questions along the way, but after the ten-mile mountain road, she no longer had the heart to speak. The increasingly unformed roads around and the constant climbing and falling low make everyone's physical energy consume quickly, and Qi Xiaomei, who has the lowest cultivation in the team, is a zombie who doesn't know what a tired zombie is, and the remaining huge sea is not high in cultivation, but her physical fitness is very good, so the hardest in the team is Lu Meng.

"Whew, this way...... Why is it so much different from the one I walked last time?" After climbing the rope to a cliff seven or eight feet high, Lu Meng asked Tianyou a little breathlessly.

Tianyou skillfully retracted the rope and explained to her again. "Last time, we just had to cross Qingyuan Mountain, and besides, there are pursuers behind us, so of course I have to pick a route that can give full play to your speed. But this time, I want to catch the little fire fox, so naturally I have to go deep into the depths of Qingyuan Mountain. If you're tired, it's too late to go back. It's a little more convenient for me not to bring you. ”

"I don't want to go back. Lu Meng snorted unconvinced, and said firmly: "On cultivation, you are not much higher than me, why can you do it, I can't?"

"God bless him, he's used to running in the mountains since he was a child, and we're probably not really better off in this regard. After speaking, Dang Hai suddenly asked, "Tianyou, how far is the place where the fire fox lived you said?"

"You're not starting to get tired, are you? There are still more than forty miles of mountain road to go. You can't hold it anymore, what are you going to do after that?"

"Forty miles?" Lu Meng exclaimed, "How can it be so far?"

"You'll have to ask the Firefox family. ”

Lu Meng, who was still arrogant just now, instantly wilted like a frosted eggplant, and he didn't dare to talk to Tianyou anymore for fear of losing his physical strength.

In fact, as long as her cultivation is a little higher, Lu Meng can make flying talismans, and now her cultivation can only make divine talismans at most. This thing is really convenient to pour on flat ground, not only does it save effort, but it is also very fast. But in this uninhabited mountain forest that is constantly climbing high and low, pasting a magic talisman is basically the same as looking for death. If you don't get hit and die, you have to fall to your death. There were so many people at the scene, except for Tianyou, it is estimated that no one has the reaction speed to control the speed of the Divine Talisman in this mountain forest. So in the end, everyone can only rely on physical strength to support themselves.

Of course, what needs to be supported is Lu Meng and Da Dahai, Tianyou used to be able to walk this road, but now his cultivation is like walking in front of his own house. Wherever there is a manhole cover, I know it clearly, I dare not say that I can find the way with my eyes closed, at least it is not difficult.

Originally, at the speed of Tianyou, he would set off in the morning, and he should be able to reach the outside of the Valley of Hundred Beasts in the afternoon. However, because they carried a few burdens, they didn't get to it until dark before they barely arrived at a hiding place a little farther away from the Valley of the Hundred Beasts. There are still seven or eight miles of mountain roads from the Valley of Hundred Beasts, but the sky has completely darkened, Tianyou is nothing, with Lu Meng and them, he really doesn't dare to walk the mountain road at night.

The hideout was prepared by Tianyou for spending the night in the mountains and forests when he was hunting, and the surrounding area was cleaned up, and as long as he picked up the fallen leaves on it, he could drill into a hole in the ground. The entrance to the cave has an inverted U-shaped bend, so that water from the outside does not flow in. Above it is a large boulder, solid and secretive. As long as you seal the entrance to the cave after entering, even if the storm outside is fierce, it will not affect the cave.

Heaven blessed a few people to rest outside the cave first, and he himself began to start a fire. Originally, if it was just him, and he hadn't eaten so late, he wouldn't have considered making a fire.

It is common knowledge on the earth that making a fire in the wild can defend against wild beasts, but in the Shenzhou Continent, this law is not reliable. Not to mention that monsters like fire foxes will use fire themselves, and monsters with rough skin and thick flesh like water rhinos are not afraid of fire. On the contrary, the firelight is too conspicuous at night, and it is easy to attract high-level monsters. The last time Tianyou escorted Ying Ying over Qingyuan Mountain, he dared to make a fire because there were many people, and he took a relatively safe route, and he also shielded the fire. In this environment, he really doesn't want to start a fire. It's a pity that after walking for a day, Lu Meng and Da Dahai's physical energy consumption is huge, and if they don't eat some hot food, Tianyou is worried that they won't be able to walk the mountain road tomorrow.

Fortunately, God bless also has a way. You can't build a bonfire and build an earthen stove, the flame burns in the stove, you can't keep warm, but heating food is not a problem. The most important thing is that there is no open fire outside, and it is not easy to attract monsters. In addition, it is the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, and the mountains and forests are very dry, and it is easy to cause wildfires if you are not careful. When the time comes, whether you are a human or a demon, you will have to turn to carbon ash.

Take out the food sent by the villagers in the morning and heat it simply, eat the fruits picked on the road of Tianyou, and everyone who is tired for a day will soon fall asleep in the cave, only Tianyou will do some simple camouflage and early warning for the camp with the help of Qi Xiaomei before going into the cave to rest, and the work of the vigil will be taken by the little sister of Beiqi. Although in order to maintain her humanity on weekdays, Tianyou tries to keep her previous habits. But in this special environment, she, a zombie who doesn't need to sleep, is indeed the most suitable existence for vigil.

The half-human, half-corpse Qi Xiaomei barely emits any heat, and although unlike real zombies, she has no body temperature at all, and she is much cooler than normal people. This is a great advantage for the vigil, as Tianyou suspects that there are many kinds of monsters that can see the infrared spectrum. Tianyou has hidden it well several times, but he was still seen through by the monster at a glance, and in the end, after thinking about it, only the monster can see the infrared signal on his body This explanation is the most reasonable.

Wrapped in a special camouflage suit specially made by Tianyou, Qi Xiaomei rode alone on a big tree. By her wrist was a stone that was tied to a thread, and the other end of the thread was connected to the hole in the ground below, where it was wrapped around Tianyou's wrist. If there is anything to discover, Qi Xiaomei can wake up as long as she pulls the line Tianyou. And Tianyou also briefly agreed with her on a few different pulling frequencies to inform Tianyou of the general situation in advance, so as not to expose himself when he suddenly came out.

In fact, Qi Xiaomei is just an emergency insurance, and Tianyou's real reliance is not on Qi Xiaomei, but on the mocking wind on the opposite tree trunk. Today, because of the reminder of the mocking wind, they have avoided five or six waves of monsters. Night is not the activity time that Mock Wind is good at, but in terms of its sensory sensitivity, it is much more effective than Qi Xiaomei.

However, it was under such complete preparation that Tianyou didn't expect that something would go wrong.

Because of the guarantee, Tianyou, who slept very peacefully, suddenly felt the thin thread on his wrist being pulled, and this frequency seemed to mean that he should observe carefully.

Turning his head to look at the entrance of the cave, there was a channel of light shining through the weeds used for shielding, and it was obviously dawn outside.

Pull off the thin thread on the wrist so as not to be pulled in the action, and then Tianyou carefully moved towards the entrance of the cave, who knew that as soon as he moved, he woke up the huge sea next to him. If it was at night, this guy would never be so alert, the key is that it is already dawn at this time, and it is the time to wake up, and it is easy for people to wake up with a little wind and grass.

In a daze, Da Dahai opened his mouth and asked, "What's wrong?" The result was a small inquiry, which suddenly made the originally quiet environment explode. Outside the cave, it was as if a gust of wind was blowing, and there was a loud sound everywhere, and there was a sharp sound that shook the sky, and at first glance it sounded at least hundreds of voices at the same time.

This time it was not only a huge sea, Zhao Lingyun and Lu Meng also woke up one after another, Lu Meng wanted to stand up in a panic, but she also hit the rock above her head, and she covered her head in pain while whispering what was going on with Tianyou.

It's such a time, and Tianyou knows that he can't hide it. There was such a big movement outside, and it was clear that it had been discovered. However, compared to before, he is not in a hurry at this time. For he had heard it before, and was very familiar with it.

"Shh......h Keep quiet, don't move, and I'll go out and see." ”

After pacifying a few people first, Tianyou carefully climbed to the entrance of the cave, brushed aside the weeds covered on it and looked out, and then got out.

It doesn't feel obvious in the hole, and the outside is like a duck shed. Only hundreds or thousands of voices were heard at the same time, and the harsh noise echoed everywhere in the air, and the people were dizzy. Fortunately, Tianyou had already seen the body of the sound clearly at this time, and the big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

"Quiet, quiet, this early in the morning, your ears are about to blow up your ears!" Tianyou first bothered himself, and then shouted at the sky under the frightened eyes of Qi Xiaomei on the tree, but the attack that Qi Xiaomei expected did not happen, but let her see a scene that she will never forget.

With the shout of Tianyou, I saw that hundreds of winged birds hovering in the sky were descending in pieces, and in just a few breaths, the surrounding tree trunks were filled with a dense group of winged birds, just like an army waiting in the auditorium to watch the report performance. There are so many of them, but they are surprisingly quiet and neat. This rapid transition between movement and stillness made Qi Xiaomei, who had never dared to make a sound on the tree, even breathe a little stagnant.

The sudden change outside also made the three people waiting in the cave unable to bear it, and climbed out one after another.

The huge sea that came out first saw Tianyou standing in the place where they were cooking last night, and then looked up and sat directly on the ground with a puff. "Heavenly ...... God bless ......"

"It's fine, keep quiet. Tianyou looked at the flock of winged birds in the tree, and whispered a voice to remind the huge sea not to make a sound.

Zhao Lingyun and Lu Meng also climbed out after him, Zhao Lingyun's cultivation is the highest, but sometimes the mood and cultivation are not completely equal. Fortunately, Lu Meng followed behind Zhao Lingyun, and when he found that the situation was wrong, he held down Zhao Lingyun, who was about to draw his sword, in time. "Don't move, this is senior brother's foreign aid. ”

"Foreign aid?" Zhao Lingyun didn't know about the last time Tianyou summoned the winged bird to attack the assassin, but Lu Meng heard Bai Bingyu say it later, so he knew it more clearly.

There are not many people in this world who can survive safely in front of the winged birds, and there are even fewer who can command the winged birds. Otherwise, Tianyou's last behavior would not have caused the assassins to suffer heavy losses, mainly because ordinary people couldn't think of this stubble, so naturally they wouldn't be guarded against.

In fact, if you encounter a flock of winged birds, you can't prevent it. In the Shenzhou Continent, the status of the winged bird is like a killer bee on the earth. The strength of the individual is not very good, but once the group appears, few people dare to say that they are not worried at all. At least for those who haven't stepped into the psychic realm.

Looking at the winged birds full of pits and valleys hanging on the branches, Zhao Lingyun and Lu Meng were all nervous and gasping for air, and the huge sea had already begun to tremble.

"Heavenly ...... Tianyou ......" The huge sea still wanted to shout Tianyou, but in exchange for a neat bang on the treetops, the eyes of all the winged birds were locked on him, and he was so frightened that he swallowed the second half of the sentence back into his stomach.

"Don't make a sound. Tianyou once again warned the huge sea in a cold voice. The Winged Bird has always been very kind to him, and he almost treats him as if he is one kind, or even more intimate. However, there is no guarantee that the winged bird will not attack his companions. Last time, it was better to only take Bai Bingyu alone, he could protect it, but now that there are so many people here, once a winged bird attacks, it will immediately cause a flock of nearly a thousand winged birds around to attack it. Don't talk about your life when the time comes, it's good to be able to get back a whole corpse.

Let the huge sea be quiet again, Tianyou looked at the winged bird in the tree, and then carefully moved to the side of the huge sea, and then reminded in a low voice: "Don't resist, follow my movements." As he spoke, he pressed his hand on the head of the great sea and pressed it down slightly. The huge sea that was already sitting on the ground was quickly pressed to the ground by Tianyou. Signaling him to lie on his stomach and not move, Tianyou walked to Lu Meng and Zhao Lingyun again. After whispering a reminder, he reached out and pressed the shoulders of the two of them, carefully pressing them to the ground as well.

Watching Tianyou's movements, the winged birds didn't turn their gaze back to him until he stood up again. The series of actions just now is actually Tianyou sending a notice to the winged birds, telling them that this is mine, and you should not move.

This simple body language does have an excellent communication effect between different races, and the winged birds no longer pay attention to the huge sea of them, but look at Tianyou together. But then Tianyou made a difficulty. He didn't know where the winged birds came from, or what they were gathered here for. But he couldn't wait like that all the time, so he had to figure out the intentions of the winged birds. As for the method...... Didn't he happen to have an interpreter here?

"Mocking wind. ”

With Tianyou's shout, the mocking wind that had been squatting on the trunk of a tree not far away jumped up, and then slid silently to Tianyou's side and landed lightly. The guy shook the feathers off his body after he stopped, then raised his head and let out a series of lazy calls. The sound is very similar to the cry of a goose, with the roar of a wild beast, in short, it is very special. However, Tianyou knew that this was the sound that would only be made when the mocking wind was more relaxed.

"Hey, you guy, you don't say hello in advance when so many relatives come. Quick, ask them what they're doing here. ”

Mocking Wind can understand human speech, and God has known this for a long time, so it is really appropriate to let it act as a translator at this time. As for the question that Tianyou can't understand the cry of the mocking wind, anyway, the soul contract between them has begun to take shape, and they can't communicate with each other, at least the general meaning can still be conveyed.

"Ga ......" mocked the wind very cooperatively began to communicate with the winged birds, so the surrounding winged birds began to answer, and the scene soon became a mess like a duck farm. Fortunately, they communicated the results quickly.

Tianyou sent back the information according to the soul contract of the mocking wind, and then guessed, and finally figured out the meaning of the winged birds with a lot of effort.

In fact, it is easy to say. Mocking Wind was originally a member of the family of this group of winged birds, and he was also the child of the leader of this group of winged birds. It would not be wrong to say that it was a prince. This time they happened to be coming back and passing by, so the leader of the winged birds hoped that Mock Wind could go back and have a look. This is originally human nature, but Tianyou didn't expect the demon to have this kind of emotion for a while, so there was a slight misunderstanding before. Fortunately, there is a mocking wind, and it is finally clear.

"You're one of them, and it's right to go back and see. Since your mother wants to see you, you can go back and have a look. We'll move forward into the Valley of the Beasts in a moment, and you can just find it yourself. ”

"Ga ......" Mocking Wind screamed at Chong Tianyou, then screamed at the surrounding winged birds, and then suddenly a row of wings soared into the air. The sound of flapping wings immediately sounded around them, and all the winged birds that had fallen on the branches flew up in one fell swoop. After hovering in the air twice and climbing to height, he found his way and disappeared above everyone's heads.

"Whew, I'm finally gone. It's scared to death!" He had seen a winged bird before, but it was the first time it had been on such a large scale. It's just because I've seen winged birds and knows how ferocious these things are when they attack, so I'm so scared just now.

Even if you don't understand it in a state of high stress, it's actually quite physically demanding. After a while, Lu Meng was so tired that she began to breathe a little. She sat on a stone and gave Tianyou a thumbs up, "Next time, remember to remind me, don't go all the way with you when you enter the mountain." This fairy wants to live for a few hundred more years!"

"Okay, okay, I didn't expect them to come to pick up the wind and go back to visit relatives!"

Zhao Lingyun was relatively the best one, she opened her mouth and asked Tianyou: "Since they are all here, why don't you just meet your demon pet here, why do you have to go back to see them?"

"Because it's just a patrol team that's coming. Tianyou's natural answer choked Zhao Lingyun and didn't know what to say. The thousands of winged birds are still just a patrol, so how many would they have if they were all dispatched?

After a false alarm, everyone was a little tired, and Tianyou simply took this opportunity to let everyone eat some dry food to replenish their strength. As for vigilance...... Such a large group of winged birds flew over, whether it was a beast or a monster, as long as they were not stupid, they would definitely have run away a long time ago. As for the high-level monsters that can completely ignore the winged birds...... If you really encounter a monster of that level, it doesn't make a difference whether you are vigilant or not.
