Chapter 4 The Big Bird Strikes
Bai Xin's group quickly shuttled through the forest, away from the place of the previous battle as soon as possible.
Tong Jun has been carrying Zhiyou on his back, and his physical strength is a little weak. So after driving for a while, Old Man Qu replaced Tong Jun, put Zhiyou on his back, and followed the team.
After the old man Qu carried Zhiyou on his back for a while, he stopped everyone, and a few people who stopped when he heard the sound came around the old man Qu behind him.
Old Man Qu put down Zhiyou and looked at the corpse of an animal on the ground, this corpse was three feet long, shaped like a cow, but had a snake-like tail, and its body was covered with silver-white fish scales. The corpses had not yet decomposed, and the creatures in the great river that should have been swept up by the flood were now unable to survive and died when the flood waters receded. At the moment, the corpse has not been found by other animals, so it is better preserved than intact.
"What is this?" said Zhenglian, looking at the corpse.
"This is called perch, its scales are ground into powder to treat poisonous sores, and can also dispel a certain degree of poisonous gas and poisonous insects. Old Man Qu looked at Zhiyou and said quietly.
Everyone listened to Old Man Qu, and each pulled a few scales and put them close to their bodies. The scale size of the perch is about four times that of ordinary fish scales, thin as cicada wings, bright as a mirror, the front is silvery, and the back is black and black, which is very beautiful.
Bai Xin held the scales and looked at the sun for a while, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's so beautiful!"
It's just that everyone didn't have the extra heart to appreciate the beautiful scales, so they put away the scales close to each other and began to hurry again.
Although several people have their own unique skills, and ordinary insects and jackals can't help them, Tong Jun and Old Man Qu have been taking care of Zhiyou, so their speed is affected, and they have traveled more than ten miles north in the afternoon, which has caused Zhenglian to complain for a while.
Although the others didn't say anything on the surface, they were already a little unhappy in their hearts, after all, everyone didn't want to stay in Mosen more, and hoped to leave Mosen as soon as possible.
The night in the jungle came earlier because of the shade of the jagged trees, and the sunset stretched the shadows, so everyone had to find an open space to rest and reorganize.
The bonfire was lit, the orange flames burning and the slightly damp branches crackling. The battle with the pseudo-wood consumed some physical strength, so everyone took the opportunity to quickly recover and rest.
Old man Qu acted as if nothing had happened, he was still in good spirits, and he was keeping vigil with Bai Xin.
Old Man Qu whispered: "Bai Shaoxia is very skilled. ”
Bai Xin laughed and said, "Actually, grandpa, your skills are really good, how many people in the world can still have such a physique at your age?"
"Is Bai Shaoxia laughing at the old man's age?" said Old Man Qu pretending to be angry.
Bai Xin hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Grandpa, don't be careful, I'm just envious, I don't mean that." ”
Old man Qu smiled and said, "Haha, in fact, the old man doesn't mind." Dare to ask Bai Shaoxia why he is so young, why did he risk this Mosen?"
Bai Xin lowered his head, pursed his lips, and did not speak.
Master Qu said: "I'm sorry, if Bai Shaoxia is inconvenient, I won't say hello." ”
"No, no matter what happened to Grandpa Qu, in fact, I want to go to the imperial capital. ”
"Oh, it's a bustling city, Bai Shaoxia is going to seek refuge with relatives or visit friends?"
Bai Xin said looking into the distance, and said a little stubbornly: "I want to find an official position and do things for the people!"
Old man Qu let out a hearty laugh and said, "Hahaha, Bai Shaoxia is really ambitious! The old man thinks that Shaoxia will become a great weapon in the future! Young is just right." If my little grandson can have Bai Shaoxia's mind in the future, the old man will have nothing to worry about!"
"Tong Jun? He has a good heart. ”
Old man Qu said: "Yes, he has lived with me in the mountains since he was a child, and he has never seen any strangers, so his personality is a little withdrawn, but he is naturally very kind, which the old man is also very pleased with." ”
Bai Xin looked at Tong Jun, who was sleeping peacefully next to Old Man Qu, and then at Zhiyou, who was sleeping next to Tong Jun, and said, "I think it's not good to be too kind." ”
This is true, but there is a way in the heart, which is better than a pitch black. I hope he will have the ability to distinguish between right and wrong in the future. ”
"Doesn't he still have you, grandpa!"
"I'm getting older, and I can't always be there for him to protect him. There are some things that he still has to make his own decisions. ”
"By the way, Grandpa Qu, why are you going to the north?"
"Send my grandson home. ”
Bai Xin raised his eyebrows and said, "Grandpa's family is not from Southern Xinjiang?"
Old man Qu said: "No, Tong Jun only grew up in southern Xinjiang, not from southern Xinjiang, and his family is two hundred miles west of the imperial capital. ”
Bai Xin thought for a while and said, "Near the Goddess Peak?"
Master Qu looked at Bai Xin in surprise and said, "Shaoxia knows so much about the Central Plains?"
Bai Xin stroked the green dragon sleeping deep in his arms and said, "I've just heard it." ”
Old Man Qu didn't ask much, "It seems that we can still travel together after Mosen, I hope Tong Jun can become friends with you." ”
Bai Xin looked into the distance and said, "Well, I also want to be friends with Tong Jun." ”
Before he knew it, the moon was already hanging high, and Bai Xin and Old Man Qu had already rested, so they sat silently opposite each other as Zhenglian and Aoki, listening carefully to any sounds coming from the woods.
The east was white, and the night had not yet been fully put away, and suddenly Zhenglian quickly got up and extinguished the bonfire. Zhenglian's movement made everyone wake up and stand up, and by the misty moonlight, everyone quickly became vigilant in the dark.
The flames that were originally extinguished could make it impossible for the hunters to find everyone's location immediately in the dark night, but they still underestimated the ability of the strange beasts in the Mosen.
A few wings flapping sounded lightly overhead, everyone raised their heads, and the four pairs of dark blue eyes on the branches were emitting a strange light under the wrapping of the night, "Goo~Goo~", the strange beasts on the branches let out a cry, and the four strange beasts landed on the branches in the high places, and the position where they fell just surrounded Bai Xin.
Ji Ling quickly took out the long sword, and drew the sword trick with his left and right hands, and the sword quickly flew towards the branch, and the sharp long sword drew a long arc through the moonlight. One of the beasts spread its six-foot wings and easily dodged Ji Ling's long sword, "Ding! Ding Dong!" The claws of the strange beast were also as hard as steel, and they were entangled with Ji Ling's long sword in the air. Seeing this, Ji Ting also offered her long sword to help her brother deal with the strange beasts. The two long swords slammed left and right, stabbing forward and back, the silver light sometimes soaring straight into the sky, sometimes twisting and turning; the speed of the alien beast was even better than that of the flying sword, swooping down to close its wings to dodge, and stretching its claws sideways to resist. The sword enters the bird's block, and the bird retreats and chases the sword, which is comparable.
Zhenglian took the opportunity to jump on the branch, wanting to raid one of the strange beasts lying on the branch, who knew that the strange beast reacted extremely sensitively, and it had already risen into the air in the blink of an eye, and the claws on the joint force only smashed the branch, without hurting the alien beast in the slightest. The alien beast that took off did not stop, and swooped down towards the senior brother and sister who were playing a sword trick on the ground, Feng Lun was closest to them, rolled on the ground, slid to the side of the senior brother and sister, raised his fist and waved towards the alien beast, the alien beast did not want to retreat, the left claw hit hard and directly wrapped Feng Lun's fist, Feng Lun's right fist was sealed, and the left fist was about to be topped, but I didn't expect the alien beast to be faster, and the right claw directly hooked Feng Lun's right arm. The claws as sharp as knives were like cutting tofu, effortlessly inserting deep into the muscles of Feng Lun's right arm, Feng Lun boasted of infinite strength, but the right arm controlled by the strange beast could not move a bit.
The alien beast flapped its wings, and Feng Lun, a person in the prime of life, was actually taken away from the ground! Fortunately, at this moment, Aoki arrived, and the sword in his hand was mixed with blue sword qi, and it was slashed towards the neck of the big bird, and the alien beast leaned back to dodge, and had to let go of Feng Lun's claws, Feng Lun's left fist immediately followed, but the alien beast moved too quickly and pounced, and the alien beast flew straight into the sky to avoid Feng Lun's attack.
Feng Lun's right arm was clawed out of four blood holes by the alien beast, and his arm was instantly stained red with blood.
Through the blue light of Aoki's sword qi, they could clearly see the face of the strange beast - the head of the big bird was actually a living human face! The face of the strange beast was no different from a human face, although it had no eyebrows, but its ears, nose and mouth were complete, but its pupils were dark blue, and the human head and body were like owls.
This is obviously no ordinary eagle, so everyone has to fight with all their might.
Tong Jun asked Zhiyou to find a hidden place to hide with Qinglong in her arms, and carefully protected her around Zhiyou.
The big bird that rose into the air did not stop and immediately launched a new round of attack. Feng Lun's right arm was already useless, and at this moment Aoki was in front of him, protecting him with difficulty.
Old Man Qu and Zhenglian also rushed over. Old Man Qu's black sword was extremely powerful, but the big bird seemed to know the power of his sword, and only dodged Old Man Qu's attack, and did not resist it head-on. Zhenglian jumped back and forth between the branches, looking for the big bird's flaws, trying to deal it with a fatal blow.
At the moment when the big bird swooped, Zhenglian jumped to the back of the big bird, raised his claws and swiped towards the big bird's back, but the raised hands couldn't fall! Zhenglian looked up and saw that his claws had been caught by another big bird, and the big bird's face with a weird smile looked up to the sky, and flew up directly with Zhenglian!
Zhenglian struggled a few times, but the strength of the big bird's feet was greater than Feng Lun's strength, how could there be a chance to break free, Zhenglian was at a loss, so he had to take off with the big bird. At this moment, Bai Xin flew up to the wind, Bai Xin's speed was comparable to that of the big bird, he took out a yellow talisman from his sleeve, threw it on the big bird's wings, and pinched the trick and said: "Burn!" The big bird's left wing suddenly rose a flame, the big bird quickly fluttered its wings to try to extinguish the fire, the power on the feet loosened, Zhenglian took the opportunity to struggle to escape, jumping from the air.
