86 on the way
The light rain gradually became lighter, and the moonlight shone brighter through the clouds, illuminating the trees a little brighter.
On the grass behind the tree, a large tree protrudes from the ground.
Two large birds with fluffy gray feathers are constantly pecking at a mangled human corpse with their heads down.
The two large birds are three-legged, covered in gray feathers, and their wings are spread out when they flutter, and they are more than three meters wide.
Its head is reddish and its face is faintly human-like, that is, its mouth is somewhat pointed, like that of a bird.
Wei He's heart was shocked, more than ten meters away, he looked at it, and at first glance he thought that it was two people in feather clothes eating people.
He carefully recalled the information on the alien beasts he had collected over the past few years. Soon he found information about this strange beast.
"It's actually like a bird...."Wei Yi didn't move, clasping the dart in his hand.
This bird beast is extremely ferocious, and the most important thing is the blood in its claws and mouth, all of which are highly poisonous and very difficult.
Their favorite way to hunt is to catch you coldly, peck you, and then wait for the prey to be poisoned and die.
Of course, for Wei He, this strange beast is of little value, because except for being used to quench poison, the flesh on its body cannot be eaten.
He quietly withdrew from his position and left into the distance.
According to the records, as long as you are scratched by it, even if you are a three-time qi and blood martial artist, you will definitely die.
Of course, this means that it is very toxic, but how specific its combat effectiveness is, that is another matter. The three-blooded martial artist reacts extremely quickly and has extremely strong strength, and this kind of bird is estimated to be unable to sneak attack.
If you really want to compare, you have to look at the actual battle.
In any case, Wei He didn't want to provoke this strange beast. He may not be afraid, but the others with him are afraid.
He slowly retreated, quickly returning to the area where the men had passed. Then he didn't stop and quickly returned to the cave.
Because he found that there were strange beasts like birds nearby, Wei He rested in the cave for a while, and the next day, he led a few people all the way along the road that was almost extinct, speeding up.
He was going to get out of the bird's territory in one go.
These beasts generally have their own territory, which is their hunting area. Just leave, you're safer.
At the same time, according to the map, if you go another thirty miles, you will reach the first village that can be resupplied.
It's just that Wei He was a little surprised that when the group came to that village, it had already been in ruins and had been dilapidated for a long time.
And leaving the village, on the afternoon of the fifth day, while on his way, he met the bird again.
This seems to be another pair of birds, and their heads are redder than the previous one.
Wei He's heart was awe-inspiring, he faintly felt that something was wrong, according to the data records, it would not be like a bird to gather so densely in a small area.
There is only one possibility that will make the birds gather in large numbers. That's the nest.
There is a nest nearby that is perfect for a bird's life.
Wei He finally understood why there were so few people who would take the route here, there was such an extremely dangerous alien beast race, or birds, anyone would choose to avoid here.
Twenty-five days after leaving Feiye City.
Wei Yihe and his party built a simple shed in the forest, built with thick branches and leaves, Jiang Su and Wei He cooperated, and the whole process was completed in less than half an hour.
The strong strength of the warriors and the tough hands of the Huishan Fist gave them great convenience.
The five of them rested in the shed, wrapped around a well-made bonfire and wrapped in warm animal fur, though each of them stinked from bathing.
But to be able to do this is already very powerful.
"We've been walking for a month, and it feels like the surroundings haven't changed at all, and the scenery is exactly the same as when I first entered the woods...."Jiang Su said in a deep voice.
"That's the way it is in the mountains, but we were not mistaken, I can make out the traces left on the ground. Wei He replied.
"Taizhou.... What is Taizhou like? Wei He, do you know?" Jiang Su asked casually, setting up the fire with a branch to make it burn more vigorously.
"I haven't been there, but we have a fundamental map, a token, and money, and the meat of the beast is enough for us to eat at least a month. There is no hurry. ”
Wei He carried a bunch of supplies, plus the prey harvested from hunting along the way, there is no need to worry about diet, the key is foreign beast meat.
"But after staying in this environment for so long, I always feel very depressed. Jiang Su reminded, "I heard my father say that after a long time on the road, everyone likes to do something to pass the pastime." Otherwise, people will easily go wrong. ”
"What do you want to say?" Wei He knew she was right. Being silent all the time can indeed cause depressing tension to the human spirit.
"Shall we sing?" Jiang Su proposed. "I think I sing pretty well. ”
"I can dance. Ouyang Lin raised his hand.
"I learned to draw. Zhang Qi said loudly.
Wei Ying hesitated: "I'll cook for everyone, so I don't need it." She felt that her time with everyone was more fulfilling than before.
"The singing is too loud. Wei He thought for a moment, "Dancing is easy to attract other animals and beasts. It's too hard to draw, and it's easy to get tired. ”
He reached out and picked up a branch on the ground and drew a random picture on the ground.
"Let's tell a story. It's quieter, it's not loud, it's not—" He paused in the middle of his sentence and turned his head to look to the side.
"Friends over there, you can come out. Wei He pinched a poisonous dart in his waist bag with one hand.
There wasn't much left, and there was nowhere to replenish it, so he didn't use it easily.
In the bushes, a few tall men in ragged clothes slowly walked out of the shadows.
The leader had a bloody mouth on one side of his face, and his hair was messy, and he was extremely embarrassed.
He stared at the pot of broth that was boiling on the fire.
"We have no ill will. It's just that after walking in the forest for a long time, I was so hungry that I smelled the fragrance and came over. ”
The man at the head replied aloud.
"You can eat it, but you have to buy it with money. Wei He raised his hand and motioned to Jiang Su for them not to speak, and let him deal with it.
"Yes, no problem, we have a golden ticket!" The leader nodded quickly, took out a golden ticket of ten taels from his arms and waved it.
"Okay, how many of you are there?" Wei He asked.
"Four, just the four of us. The man replied quickly.
"That's good. Wei He waved his hand suddenly.
Laugh at!
The dart came out of his hand, hitting a man who was quietly approaching behind the fire.
The dart passed through the man's throat, peeked through the back of his neck, and slammed into the trunk of a tree behind him.
Wei He's figure swept away, and in the blink of an eye, he pounced six meters, flashing several times between the four men.
Turn around and turn back to the fire.
"Gone. He lifted the package. Be the first to walk into the distance.
The four people behind him fell to the ground one after another, and all of them were slapped in the head and killed instantly.
And this kind of palm power is silent, vicious and ruthless, and the middle one will die. It's not the style of Huishan boxing at all.
Jiang Su and the others looked at the corpse that fell to the ground, and then at Wei He, who couldn't figure out, only to feel a chill in their hearts. If Wei He hadn't found out that someone was sneaking up behind, I'm afraid the result....
The group of people were all dressed in the same way, first with a few people head-on to attract attention, and then one person to attack from behind, front and back, it was really possible to solve some of the weakly defended teams.
At that moment, several people also quickly got up, extinguished the fire, and took their own things to follow Wei He.
He hadn't gone far before the sound of wild beasts roaring and fighting for corpses could be heard behind him.
The group walked all the way, and when the sun was about to go down, they finally found a small abandoned village.
The houses in the village are still intact and sheltered from the elements.
This made Wei Ying and the others feel very good, and there was a small stream on the side, which could be used to draw water to wipe their bodies.
I have been defecating with leaves for more than ten days in a row, and the smell of excrement is almost coming out of my body.
It was getting dark.
In an earthen house in an abandoned village, there is a faint glow of fire.
Wei He and Zhang Qi stood in the courtyard, waiting for the three girls in the back room to wash and wipe themselves.
The night sky is starry, endless and deep.
Wei He's ears moved slightly, and his eyes looked out of the broken gate.
"Who?"
"Passers-by. "An old man with a long beard, who was over half a hundred years old, stood outside the door and looked inside.
"The two little brothers are invited. We are a team of traders from Yunzhou to Taizhou, we just came here, and we saw that there was also a fire here, so we came to investigate. I hope you will forgive me. ”
"This is a deserted village, you are at your own convenience. Wei He said calmly.
"Thank you. The contemptible surname is Wang, and if the little brother needs anything, he can come to the front room. ”
The old man is extraordinary, not like an ordinary person.
However, it is also understandable that in these years, those who can run business between two states have little ability, and in such a wilderness, they are looking for death.
Behind the old man was a series of teams, and there were more than a dozen people one after another.
These people have big bags and small bags, and they all look a little tired.
It's just that when one of them passed by the door, Wei He's heart jumped slightly.
He looked intently out of the doorway, watched the man drift away, and walked past the doorway toward the village.
It was a long-haired woman in darkness, wearing a veil and a hood, walking with her head down.
Strands of hair slipped out of the side of her hood, black and soft.
"What's wrong, Brother Wei?" asked Zhang Qi aloud.
"It's fine. Wei He withdrew his gaze. The woman who just passed was a little not simple.
But when you go out, there will be fewer people who are not simple? In these years, there are a few simple people who dare to go out into the wilderness.
This is again on the main road of the mountains and forests that everyone can walk, and anything can be encountered.
In the back room, at this time, the three girls also finished taking a bath and wiping their bodies, and several people cleaned up together and came out to take turns for Wei He.
"I'll go outside and have a look. Wei He said loudly.
Along the way, it was him and Jiang Su, constantly alternating, going out to inspect the surroundings.
Now it was his turn.
Not a few steps out of the house, there was a man in the caravan in front of him, who saw him going out, took the initiative to approach him, and clenched his fists.
The man seemed to have been standing at the door for a long time, waiting for them to come out.
"This brother, tomorrow in front of the Zangjian Gorge, like a bird's nest, you must use beast bait, if you don't dislike it, it's better for us to use one together, so that you can save a beast bait, my lord asked me to ask, I don't know what Brother Tai wants?"
'Zangjian Gorge?' Weihe doesn't have that name on the map.
But he has an unusual personality, his expression is calm, and he can't see anything clearly in the dark.
The other party thought he knew.
"Brother?" Seeing that he didn't react, the other party asked again.
"It's not a secret, it's the first time we've gone out, and we don't know anything about it, so I have a copy of the bait, but I don't know how to use it yet, so I'm smiling. Wei He replied.
