Chapter Forty-Eight: The Stinking Swamp
Xiao Li glanced at the babbling and Qiuqiu, and saw two little guys, one sleeping comfortably in his arms, and the other lying on the back of the lonely one groggily, and couldn't help but shake his head, "You two little guys, it's easy." ”
"Babble~" Babbling heard Li's words, sobered up a little, and muttered.
"What the hell!" he cursed a few words, shook his head helplessly, but had no choice but to move on.
"Babble!"
Suddenly, Babbling let go of her arms around her neck, jumped onto his shoulders, pointed to the trunk above her head, and screamed.
"Huh?" he paused, frowned, and looked up.
I saw that above the trunk of the tree, there was a rich green sphere protrusion, which was inconspicuous at first glance, but after a few closer looks, I found that it was a bird the size of an egg, with wings like cicada wings tightly wrapped around the body, looking like a round tree lump. Only a small head was exposed, and some protruding eyes were seen, and I saw that Xiao Li was looking up at it, swaying left and right.
Just as he saw the bird clearly, he babbled and threw out his tentacles, intending to attack the bird.
"Babbling!" Seeing this, he hurriedly stopped him.
Babbling heard the shouting, pouted, and shook the tentacles a few times before lowering his arms.
It's just a small bird, and it's not malicious, there's no need to kill them all, and in today's situation, it's better not to cause trouble.
"Wow~"
The little bird on the trunk seemed to be frightened, and after a sharp call, it flapped its wings and flew away to the far east. I saw that the bird's whole body was dark green, and there seemed to be some fine scales on its back. Its wings are very large, almost several times the size of its body, and its mouth and jaws are covered with fangs.
When it spread its wings and flew up, it couldn't help frowning, after this little bird spread its wings, it was far less than when it curled up, small and cute, but now it looked very ugly.
"Don't look at it," he shook his hand a few times in front of his eyes before he withdrew his gaze. Immediately, he continued to move forward.
After a short time, he found another wooden stick, holding one in each hand, and his walking speed gradually increased.
As he walked through the swamp with his hands and feet, the sky gradually darkened a little, but he didn't pay much attention to it. Because although it is the middle of the day and the sun is strong, it is likely that a cloud will suddenly drift by, temporarily blocking the sun.
Gradually, however, the brow furrowed, for the sky was getting darker and darker, as if it was about to enter the night.
"it!"
Standing alone and looking back, he was suddenly shocked, turned his head and ran.
I saw that the sky behind me was full of dense ugly birds, all dark green, fluttering their long and wide fleshy wings, supporting a somewhat bloated body. There are so many ugly birds that they almost completely obscure the sun, and if you didn't know what it meant to be overwhelmed, you can see it now!
"Let go of the small ones, and here comes a group of big ones!" shouted Lone as he ran. He had seen that many of the ugly birds that had flown in were of the same genus as the previous birds, that the ugly bird had a beak full of fangs, and was obviously not a vegetarian, and that there was no hiding place in this swamp, and that if he was surrounded by this dense group of birds, he would not even have many bones left.
What Xiao Li didn't expect was that in the territory of the Seventy-Two Palace Levels and the Blood Jade Tiger, there would be such a terrifying flock of ugly birds.
In this swamp, it is very difficult to walk and run even more difficult to walk in half a leg. From behind, he looks like a crab, even though he has a big stride and tries his best to run.
"Chirp ......"
The shrill cries came densely from behind, and as the distance between the birds and the solitary flock gradually narrowed, the sound of the ear was even more unbearable. From time to time, he looked back and looked more and more anxious, but he could not move quickly when he fell into the swamp.
The ball was hiding in front of his lonely chest, and his little hands were tightly covering the place where his ears were, as if he was a little afraid of the sound of the ugly bird. He actually has no ears on his furry head, but the place where his hands are covered is roughly where the ears are.
Babbling on the shoulders of the lonely, at the overwhelming flock of birds, keep chirping and smacking.
"I'll go, you still want to eat! Look at yourself, are you qualified?"
Lonely stood as he struggled to step and shouted at the babbling. At this moment, he found that there was a dead tree with a crooked neck not far from the right, and the main trunk of several people growing straight to the height of one person suddenly grew horizontally.
He hurriedly ran to one side, leaning against the trunk of the dead tree, holding two wooden sticks tightly with both hands, listening to the screams that had tingled his eardrums, and waited for him. He panted roughly, watching the light in front of him get dimmer and dim, and couldn't help but scold in his heart, "I'll go, is this the territory of the Blood Jade Tiger?
As the minutes ticked by, the birdsong above the sky seemed to be calmer than it had been sharper and more urgent.
Standing a little suspiciously, he poked his head out and looked up, only to see that it was like a strange bird covering the entire sky, centered on his position, stretching around, slowly flapping its wings one by one, as if waiting for something. Standing alone at this time is like being in the center of a raging storm.
"Why don't you move?" he said, clutching the stick in his right hand and frowning.
Qiuqiu was not in a state, Ren Xiaoli reminded him several times, he just put his hands on his head, shrunk his body, and was unmoved; although he was eager to try, this guy was unreliable, and he was not swallowed by the ugly bird, so thank God.
So now, the stick in his hand is his only reliance, and if a bird pounces, he can only raise the stick to resist.
Just as he was wondering why the ugly birds had not moved, there was a sudden commotion among the birds. There were several ugly birds with very bloated bodies, flapping their wings violently and chirping, as if they were fighting each other.
"It seems that the birds have not yet decided who should come down to catch me...... "Standu muttered to himself. Although he is tall, he is not enough for so many ugly birds, and they can only fight for victory first, so as to decide where they belong.
Xiao Li wanted to take the opportunity to escape, but when he looked ahead, there was no better place to hide, and the Blood Jade Tiger had never appeared. Moreover, if he acts rashly at this time, it is likely to speed up the process of the fight of the ugly bird, and the consequence will be that he will die faster. However, he didn't want to wait and wait, so he could only wait and wait.
After about a stick of incense, several ugly birds stopped chirping, and when they saw this, they shook their sweaty right hand and exhaled lightly, a fight was inevitable!
A moment later, an ugly flying bird with a bloated body and a strong belly flew out of the flock and swooped down without hesitation. Although only one rushed down at the moment, the flock of birds hovering above his head hung in his heart like a sharp sword.
An adult ugly bird with a pig's nose and a mouth that is not too big, but its fangs are messy, which makes people palpitate.
The ugly bird that had fallen from a gloomy storm rose to the ground, and when it almost touched the swamp surface, one of them stood up, turned to the ground, flapped its wings, and flew straight for the lonely tree that was hiding under the crooked neck.
Seeing the stout ugly bird attacking like this, he hurriedly turned around, put the babbling on his back with his backhand, and turned to hold the wooden stick with both hands, facing it.
"Come on!"
He yelled at the ugly bird, trying to scare the other party and cheer himself up.
"fluttering ......"
The flapping wings of the ugly birds, and the wind stirring up, blew the erect hair extremely messy. He squinted his eyes and stared ahead, and when the rapidly approaching bird opened its beak and was less than a few feet away from him, he fell to his knees and threw his upper body back.
The ugly flying bird that originally attacked the neck of the lonely li, but he didn't expect that the lonely would suddenly adopt this posture, and he couldn't stop castrating for a while, and went directly under the crooked neck tree. Seeing the right time, he exerted all his strength to raise the wooden stick in his hand.
"Poof~"
The long stick pierced directly into the chest of the ugly bird, and the black-purple viscous blood sprayed down instantly, directly soaking the lonely head.
He didn't have time to wipe it, so he pulled back the stick hard, but the ugly bird was in a hurry, and before he could pull it back, the bird had already flown to the other side of the crooked neck tree.
"Chirp, chirp" The stout ugly bird fluttered its wings and screamed a few times, and although it was stabbed, it seemed to be fine. It lowered its head, pulled the wooden stick soaked in purple and black blood from its chest, and a pair of black eyeballs seemed to glow, staring at the lone man viciously, and after a few moments, he rushed forward again.
Just as he picked up another stick and prepared to meet the enemy, the swamp around him suddenly tossed.
I saw dozens of eyeless strange fish with bright black bodies, spear-like tails, and slightly flattened heads, churning out of the swamp from time to time, snatching up the blood that had been spilled. Looking into the distance, it seems that there are more strange fish rushing in.
There were also a few strange fish that pounced directly on his shirt, because his upper clothes were also stained with blood.
Obviously, these eyeless strange fish rely on the smell of blood to find their prey. Before, he had not noticed the strangeness of the mouths of these strange fish, and when several strange fish jumped out of the swamp and pounced on him, he realized that the mouths of these strange fish were very wide, occupying almost the entire head, and the inside of the mouth was a circle of thin teeth with barbs. If you get bitten, you have to tear off the fist-sized flesh.
After walking in the swamp for a long time, he didn't see these strange fish attacking him, and he thought that these were just strange fish, maybe they could be used to satisfy hunger, but now he realized that all the creatures in the Demon Night Forest are really not simple!
He hurriedly flashed sideways, and at the same time pulled off his coat and threw it aside, causing several strange fish to bite each other.
The ugly bird, which had just dodged the attack of a few strange fish, was already approaching......
