143 · Tibetan canal bird
"It's a big problem. ”
Zhang Kezhao didn't look flustered, or maybe he was pretending to be calm. He pushed away the rubble, and the rats inside fled in a hurry when they heard the sound, stepping on each other like flowing water and running over Ye Liancheng's instep, he was surprised that there were so many rats gathered here.
When the rest of the Ye Gang saw this, they suddenly felt sick to their stomachs, as if they were reflecting and annoyed with how they had treated this animal as a delicacy.
"Did you see it leave?"
Zhang Kezhao asked the people around him without expectation, and received an unexpected answer - everyone shook their heads, indicating that only rats came out of the cracks.
"What kind of power does the Tibetan Canal Bird have?" Ye Liancheng asked.
"It can hide its form. ”
"We can't see it?" Ye Liancheng's eyes widened, as if he could see the Tibetan canal bird that disappeared into the gravel mountain, but it was in vain, and he only saw the bewildered expressions of his subordinates more clearly.
"That'...... What were the rats eating? I did see a bird being eaten. ”
Those who witnessed the whole process nodded their heads.
"Who knows what tricks that little brute had. Zhang Kezhao was absent-minded.
The three disposable artifacts left by the Yellow Emperor have all been used up, and they knew that that thing could not deal with the Yellow Pupil Bird, so it was better to catch another Green Pupil Bird, which was completely wasted now, and the Tibetan Canal Bird would definitely be more wary of them, so it might just hide nearby and listen to their conversation quietly.
He regretted that he had not been cautious and had brought out the rebels' plan in case the Tibetan Bird sneaked away now and reported the matter to Emperor Shaohao...... The consequences are unimaginable.
However, he had heard that the Tibetan Bird was arrogant and would most likely capture them to gain more praise.
Hopefully this information is correct.
"We have to find it. He told Ye Liancheng, "The Tibetan Canal Bird can be invisible, and it is too much of a threat to us. ”
"Definitely. ”
Although he has not officially seen the strange bird, the hidden bird corpse has confirmed Zhang Kezhao's statement. The members of the Ye Gang, who had long been eager to confront the Bird Army, were all in high spirits and asked Zhang Kezhao how to catch the Tibetan Canal Bird.
"It's not convenient to say here," Zhang Kezhao pointed to the tall trees on the side, suggesting that the Tibetan canal bird might be hiding among them to eavesdrop, "Let's go to an open place and follow me." ”
The group quickly moved to a place with no shelter around, Zhang Kezhao asked them to stand together, and then took out a bag of powder from his pocket and sprinkled it into the sky, the choking smell diffused as the powder flew up, and the thick white smoke slowly fell from the sky to envelop them.
He explained: "In this way, if the Tibetan canal bird flies by from a high altitude, we can also spot it. ”
It is very difficult to breathe in the dust, but also to breathe.
He lowered his voice:
"About a month ago, our people discovered the whereabouts of the Tibetan canal bird. It was the great hero of the Bird Country in the last Man-Bird War, and it had single-handedly wiped out the entire small tribe, leaving no armor behind, which was quite dangerous. But that was a hundred years ago, and now it's old and weak, and it's a little trick that can only be used to sneak attack, which is both good and bad for us—it knows its weaknesses better than we do, so it will play to its strengths and avoid its weaknesses and act cautiously. This time, the plan to capture alive failed, and the grass was startled. ”
"It must have spotted us. ”
"Well, maybe I heard Fang Cai's conversation. Zhang Kezhao's face was bitter, "Before destroying it, I can't take you to see the commander." ”
"I understand. Ye Liancheng gently fanned away the dust that blocked his nasal passages, "However, it won't report this matter to Emperor Shaohao?"
"Probably not. As far as I know, the Tibetan Canal Bird has an arrogant personality, and it has already fallen on my hands once, and it will definitely try to return my color, and will never fly back to the capital first. ”
Ye Liancheng breathed a sigh of relief: "Is there any way to lure it out?"
"We need to know why it came to the west. ”
"Isn't it to find traces of humans?"
"No, it's the green-eyed bird that is looking for the trace, and the higher-level yellow-eyed and white-eyed birds don't bother to do this. ”
"You really know. Ye Liancheng said, "When did you come to Purgatory? I have never met you before. ”
Zhang Kezhao sighed: "I can't tell the time, a year or two? Who knows, in short, after you, you were arrested and imprisoned for trying to subvert the Son of Heaven, I know about that." ”
Ye Liancheng smiled awkwardly.
"You haven't looked away," he said earnestly, "and now the Western Dynasty is in the hands of a girl, and the signs of decay are already visible. ”
"I heard, it's Princess Tilting Lotus, right? Not long ago—and not long ago—I met a member of the Gonglian team. ”
"Team Gonglian?"
The memory of the deep-water dungeon suddenly surfaced, and Zhang Kezhao gradually remembered the unchildish young face.
"He's in, too......"
"You know?"
"Fellow inmates. He laughed at himself, "But how can he bear this purgatory punishment at such a young age?"
"Who knows. I met him once in the center mountain, and I haven't heard of him since, it seems that his name is Chen Jian. ”
“...... Chen Jian, Chen Jian, that's the name. I don't remember exactly. Zhang Kezhao found that the smoke and dust had faded to the height above his head, he patted his head and hurriedly said, "Let's talk about the old days later, let's talk about the Tibetan canal bird." It is not simply looking for us, but there is something more important. ”
"What could it be?"
Yes, why did the Tibetan canal bird come from?
Zhang Kezhao thought to himself, as the most famous and important combat force of the Bird Army, why did it come to the west of the inaccessible Central Mountain? This place was rarely inhabited by aborigines in the past, and those naughty and annoying monkeys were kings of the mountain, and unlike the monkeys in the world, they were not only agile but also aggressive. I heard that in the last battle between man and bird, they also once surrendered to Emperor Shaohao and attacked the aborigines, and since then, their blood has a natural tendency to be hostile to people - but the truth of this is doubtful.
There are too many nonsense and ominous rumors circulating in purgatory, all of which come from the mouths of prisoners who have lived for hundreds of years and have long been unable to distinguish between dreams and reality. Those men are now following the large army against the Bird Army, and all the information related to the birds comes from them as well.
For this reason, the rebels need to spend a lot of energy to distinguish between true and false information, which is quite annoying.
The smoke has completely cleared.
The top of the head, the bridge of the nose, the shoulders...... All were covered in a thin layer of dust.
Ye Liancheng's face gradually became clear, and the white dust outlined the edges and corners.
Zhang Kezhao suddenly remembered something, and he asked thoughtfully: "You just said, how long have you been here?"
"A month — I'm not sure, it's just how it feels. ”
"It's been around for about a month. ”
"It?"
"Tibetan canal birds. ”
