Looking at Ah Zi's abnormal reaction, and then looking at the large black shadow that gradually flew in the distance, her mind flashed back to the story that her uncle had told before, Ah Zi was called "Peacock Princess" by the locals, and immediately understood half of it.

"Don't shoot! That's a peacock! A peacock raised by Zi! I shouted.

Jin Facai obviously didn't understand the situation yet, but he also followed me to stop them, and even stepped forward two steps, stretched his arms wide in front of their guns: "Don't shoot!" That's the peacock, the peacock of the Azi family...... Isn't it, a big official? Isn't it, Zi? ”

The black shadow has flown close to a hundred meters away, and it can already be clearly seen with the naked eye that it is a group of huge birds, these wild peacocks have not trimmed their tails and wings, so in the process of flying, after opening up, they look like huge kites, plus dense flocks of numbers, mixed together and swooping head-on, if it is not for the people who are mentally prepared, they will definitely frighten their legs in such a situation.

"That's right, it's a peacock, it's a peacock!" Ah Zi finally jumped on his feet and said the answer while waving his arms: "Don't shoot, they are very spiritual and will not harm humans!" ”

At this time, Li Youwu had also put down the sapper shovel and waved his hand to Company Commander Wang.

Finally, hundreds of peacocks, crackling and flying in front of us one by one, half-stopped in the air in front of the waterfall cliff rock, almost formed a huge blue-black wind wall in front of us, and let out bursts of chirping, the flapping of hundreds of pairs of wings, fanning the dust on the ground to fly.

"Stand back! Step back! Ah Zi turned around and waved to everyone, signaling for an open space, and then blew the bamboo whistle a few times.

At first, a leader peacock flying in the center of the finch array with blue-black brilliance and a golden crown first landed lightly in front of Ah Zi's feet, flapped its wings and circled Ah Zi a few times before letting out a long roar, and then, all the peacocks began to land one by one, seemingly chaotic scenes, but after careful consideration, they all seemed to be well-trained, and one only had their own order and position, and they would not collide with each other in the slightest.

"What's going on?" Company Commander Wang shouted to Ah Zi from afar, with a large group of chirping peacocks in the middle.

Ah Zi blew a few whistles, and the peacock gradually spread out a path from the middle, and we met again in the middle of this path.

"This is the peacock I raised since I was a child, the largest golden crown headed by the head, called Uma, I remember when I left here, it was only more than three years old, and now it has become the leader, at that time I raised more than thirty, I didn't think of a few years not to see, so many more, and under the leadership of Uma, I can still understand my flute command, what a surprise!"

"So, you're singing and playing the flute just to summon them out?" I asked.

"That's not it, this flute is a gift from Abba, I used to use it to train peacocks, when I sang in front of me, I suddenly remembered my previous life, so I took it out and blew a few times, I can't think of it, it's really unexpected, they are still alive in this mountain, and they haven't disappeared with other people, it's really good! That's great! ”

Company Commander Wang stepped forward, still with a solemn expression: "We are not the time to play with birds now, we must immediately find the scattered team members, as well as find your parents and clansmen." ”

Ah Zi nodded silently, walked to the edge of the cliff rock of the waterfall again, and pointed to the splashing pool under his feet: "That day, they jumped down from here one by one. ”

We all walked to the edge of the cliff rock, looked down at the droplets in the deep pool, and there was already a chilling feeling, although we couldn't see how deep the water was, but jumping from such a high place, even if it was a well-trained man who was well trained in the water, I am afraid that it would be more than lucky, not to mention that there were so many old and young women and children among those tribesmen......

Li Youwu grabbed a stone the size of a steamed bun from the ground, threw it into the pool, and in a blink of an eye it was swallowed up in the mist, because the sound of the waterfall was so loud that he couldn't even hear the sound of when the stone fell into the water.

"Do you know how to swim?" Company Commander Wang asked us.

"What? Swim? Do you want us all to jump? No kidding, isn't that the same as suicide? Jin Facai shouted: "Don't do it, even if you call the Olympic diving champion, I guess no one will dare to play like this." ”

"Who told you to jump, let's go down the mountain first, wait until the shore and then go into the water to see." Company Commander Wang glanced at the waterhole again: "I estimate that the people of those two teams have also gone down." ”

I don't know if he meant by "going down" or if he had already jumped all the way down the valley to the shore, but in my mind, it was obviously the latter that was more likely, and although I didn't say it explicitly, I guess the others thought so in their hearts.

"However, this rainbow pool has always had only one path leading from the stockade to here, and you see, all around this pool of water is a circle of straight cliffs, like a big crater thrown by a stone falling from the sky, and there is no road on the shore."

I looked at the sinkhole-like terrain, and the whole waterhole was indeed surrounded by a rock wall, like a natural bucket, and if you wanted to enter the water, you had to fix a rope at the top of the cliff and climb down the steep rock wall.

Company Commander Wang obviously thought a step deeper than me, and he pointed to the side of the pool under the cliff wall on the opposite side: "You see, there is a protruding rock under the mountain rock on that side, and the rock is about a meter away from the water surface, and there is enough for more than a dozen people to stand on it. ”

It seemed that this was the only way, and several soldiers had already packed their bags and were ready to walk along the rock wall to the other end.

"Wait! This method can be possible, but this mountain road is high and low, and when we go around it again and climb down one by one, I guess it will be almost dark. ”

Jin Facai said this key point that we all ignored at this time, it is already afternoon, looking at the steep mountain, so many people must have taken a lot of time to go down to the edge of the pool. And in this deep mountain and bad water, the danger of night operation is naturally self-evident.

Everyone fell silent again, do they want to go back to the village for the night, and come back early tomorrow morning?

I was also silently calculating in my heart, if I waited another night, first of all, I would not say that I would waste a lot of time to save people, and besides, no one could say what strange variables would happen in the village at night, although we already had the experience of taking turns to watch the night, but ......

"Chirp tweet!" My thoughts were interrupted by a loud cry of birds, and the leader of the golden-crowned peacock called Uma, as if suddenly excited, fluttered its wings and swept over our heads, followed by several large sturdy birds, which swooped down with it to the bottom of the pool.

We hurriedly followed to the cliff rock, only to see the four or five big birds, spread their wings, slid out a series of amazing arcs in the vast mist, and then lightly landed on the big rock below the opposite bank, waved their wings a few times, and flew towards us one by one.

"I see! I understand! Ah Zi jumped up excitedly: "Great! Uma is amazing! ”

Of course, all the people present have also understood what Uma means, I don't have much research on peacocks, and I really have to be in awe to witness this divine bird known as the phoenix of the world today.

It is no wonder that in Buddhist Tantra, the peacock will be elevated to the level of a divine beast, as the mount of the peacock king himself.

Company Commander Wang and his soldiers had already begun to attach a fixed point at one end of the glide line to a large tree on this side, and they made a looper at one end of the rope and fixed it around the thickest branch.

At this time, Uma had already flown back, standing quietly on the branch above Company Commander Wang, staring at Company Commander Wang's work motionlessly, tilting his head a few times from time to time, as if he was thinking.

Due to the adequate preparation, the length of the rope can reach hundreds of meters long when connected, which is enough to connect the two ends.

Company Commander Wang put a slip knot on the other end of the rope and asked Ah Zi, "Your peacock is so smart, will you help us fix it there?" ”

Ah Zi looked at Uma, and his eyes were not very confident: "I really can't say this, I haven't trained it before, why don't you give it first and let it try it?" ”

"Well, that's all there is to it." Company Commander Wang pursed his lips, handed over one end of the rope to Ah Zi, and instructed: "This rope of hundreds of meters is a bit heavy, I don't know if it will affect their flight." ”

Ah Zi probably didn't know how to answer, and didn't say anything, just walked to the edge of the cliff rock with the bundle of ropes, knelt on the ground, prayed with his hands together, and then gently put the coiled ropes on the ground: "Uma, it's up to you!" ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw Uma fly over, lowered his head and first grabbed the end of the looper, flapped his wings a few times and flew upward, obviously this rope does have some weight for it, I am worried that it is only a small section now, and when the whole rope is completely vacated from the ground, the weight of more than ten catties, I am afraid that the eagle with amazing claw power can not hold it lightly, not to mention that this peacock is only holding it with its beak.

And the amazing miracle happened at this time.

I saw that Uma had just flown a few meters high, and then flapped his wings in mid-air and turned around in place twice, and then another sturdy male peacock came, and went to latch on to a piece of rope, and then flew up, and after flying a few meters, the third peacock followed closely behind a piece of rope......

In this way, every few meters, a peacock flew up, section by section, and the whole rope seemed to string together dozens of peacocks, pulling out a long winged kite in the air, and Uma rushed to the front, flying towards the rocks on the opposite bank.

This scene almost stunned everyone, I saw Li Youwu push his sunglasses to his forehead, and those two eyes flashed with a look of surprise and a hint of reverence, I had only seen this look once before, that was when he saw Ah Zi's sword.

Company Commander Wang's accurate estimation made the length of the rope just enough to stretch to the distance to the opposite bank, seeing that Uma was about to reach the end, several soldiers had already let out a cheer of surprise, but suddenly saw Uma stop in the sky above the rocks on the opposite bank, circling and not descending.

"Oops! I forgot that the stone was too big and so smooth that there was no way to hold anything in place! Company Commander Wang stepped forward and exclaimed.

This sentence undoubtedly poured cold water on my heart, and it seemed that all the previous plans had to be renegotiated.

However, the Divine Bird is a Divine Bird after all, and just when we have almost given up here, we saw Uma raise her head, fly towards the top of the rock, and then come to a steady stop on a small tree that has emerged from the crack in the cliff.

Everyone watched Uma's every move with bated breath, while the other peacocks maintained their formation, fluttering their wings in mid-air, waiting for their leader.

Uma tilted his head thoughtfully, and after a few seconds, it regained its body and flew twice up and down the small tree, then slipped the looper into the thickest branch.

It worked!

Yes, this clever divine bird, the most prestigious bird in Buddhism, the phoenix of the world, with its innate understanding, and the movements it had seen before from Company Commander Wang, found the most stable fixing point of the rope.

It's incredible!

Everyone began to cheer.

Company Commander Wang grabbed the end of the rope and pulled it a few times, and the connection was very strong. The expression on his face couldn't tell whether it was excitement or urgency, but he flexibly hung the sliding harness on the rope, grabbed another spare bundle of rope in one hand, buckled the sliding harness on his shoulders first, and then said to us: "I'll go over and make preparations first, you guys pack up, wait for my instructions!" ”

After speaking, without waiting for everyone to reply, he strode a few times, reached the edge of the cliff rock, and slid down the rope to the bottom of the opposite bank, and got into the vast mist.
