Chapter 4: Strange Creatures
The buffer zone, stretching from east to west, with no end in sight, the entire cliff face is covered with moss and white-gray dung, without the slightest tree or flower, but a little raised rock, sparsely scattered everywhere.
The entire buffer zone is only a few feet high, but it is crucial for a single line.
After running all the way in the early stage, Qiuqiu was exhausted, and he wanted to stop in the buffer zone for a while. But a few zhang away from the back, there were flames shaking with secluded light, but they still didn't give up, and chased after them. But even so, the ball can still slow down a little and cushion slightly.
He turned his head to look back, his brow furrowed. He knew that at this moment, there was no way back.
He motioned for him to shut up, then took him upside down, his right hand gripped his waist tightly, and his left hand took off the package behind his back and hung it on his chest.
The ball inhales and floats very quietly, and the sound is not loud, and it does not alarm the fire-beaked birds as they approach the area where they are.
I saw that the red-feathered long-beaked strange birds were hanging upside down on the cliff wall, and their long wings tightly wrapped their bodies. Although the fire-beaked birds were numerous, almost covering the entire cliff on both sides, they were unusually silent, except for a few occasional "chirp, chirp" hisses.
The group floated upwards cautiously, and entered the fire beak bird area so peacefully, and in the blink of an eye, it had moved up the distance.
But Qiuqiu's dark eyes rolled around, looking very uneasy.
Although he didn't dare to make a sound for a while, he puffed out his mouth and shook his head a little chatteringly, looking extremely calm.
The muscles on his right arm burst out, sweat stains flowed from his palm, and he looked nervous, because he understood that the peace in front of him was only temporary......
Before long, the flames of the secluded forest were about to break into the firebeak bird area. At the bottom, several upside-down fire-beaked birds seemed to sense the danger, stretched out their wings wrapped around their bodies, fluttered a few times, and then stretched their necks, as if they were cautiously probing.
At this time, it became clear that this strange bird had no eyes, and there were two rows of small holes the size of beans on its long red beak, which seemed to be used for induction.
Suddenly, a large fire-beaked bird flew up from the cliff wall, hung in the air, and pouted its buttocks.
Immediately after, there was a "bang", and it actually pulled a bubble of downward, which happened to pour on a flickering flame directly below, scattering the flames.
The eerie light emitted from the bloodthirsty flying insects' bodies seemed to be instantly extinguished by the filth of the birds, and one by one they became dim and fell downwards bit by bit.
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the cliff wall close to the buffer zone seemed to shake suddenly, and suddenly thousands of fire-beaked birds 'chirp!chirp~' kept screaming, making people's ears ache.
One by one, the fire-beaked birds, detached from the cliff, flapped their wings, excreted one after another, and countless sticky feces poured one after another, just like a waterfall rushing down, very disgusting but somewhat spectacular.
Although the dung waterfall is 'majestic', it has not dispersed all the flames, and there are still no less than a thousand rushing up, surrounding the fire-beaked birds, and devouring them in a burst.
"Qiuqiu, speed up", when the fire-beaked bird below was awakened, he slapped the back of the ball and shouted loudly.
The strange bird below is already alert, and Qiuqiu can't rest anymore, so he must quickly break through before the strange bird above is woken up, only in this way, can he have more possibilities to escape.
At this time, the ball was about one zhang and three feet long, and the cliff above was at least three hundred zhang, and after that, he had to exert all his strength, exhaling desperately, and could not allow the slightest stop, before it was possible to rush out of the abyss before the stored qi was exhausted.
After a few breaths, the panic of the fire-beaked birds had spread to the height of the ball, and the startled fire-beaked birds were obviously aware of the lonely group that was flying upwards.
Nearly a hundred strange birds raised their sharp beaks and pounced on the lonely and ball. If their beaks touch the skin of the ball, the bulging belly of the ball will be pierced.
He hurriedly raised his babbling and clasped his hands in front of his chest, so that his head was down and the roots of his fork were up, while shouting "Babble, fire!"
I saw that the two branches of the babbling root were separated, and many small thin strips gushed out, and they reached into the package standing on his chest, and took out several white broken bones, and then, the thin strips on the left and right were connected into one, and the white bones happened to be in the middle. At this moment, the babbling looks like a slingshot with many rubber bands, with broken bones as a child, ready to be fired at any time.
Seeing three or two strange birds, about to approach from the left, he hurriedly turned his babbling to the west and shouted "put".
Several broken bones then left the string, and several fire-beaked birds happened to be hit, and they immediately fell downward.
Babbling shook the green leaf hair facing downward, and just as he wanted to make a cheerful 'babble, babble' sound, he was pushed to the right by the lone standing and attacked again.
Just like that, he hit the left and hit again, and the ball rushed upwards for a distance of more than 100 zhang, and his length was less than 100 zhang. The strange birds around him became more and more around, and he was already a little scrambling, babbling big eyes, a little unprepared, obviously a little dizzy.
In this way, it doesn't take a few breaths for them to be surrounded by countless strange birds, nailed to death by those spiky beaks. Xiao Li hurriedly looked up and looked up, and then said with a firm expression, "Babble, let go!"
The babbling that had been obedient and obedient and tightly closed suddenly opened its mouth and let out a deafening long roar, and the strange birds within a few feet around instantly stopped fluttering their wings and fell straight down, obviously stunned by the whistling. The flapping speed of the strange bird in the distance slowed down significantly, and it was unable to rush to the front for a while.
"Babble, babble," the little dryad grinned, his face was happy, he coughed a few times, and wanted to howl again, but he couldn't. Thinking of such a deterrent howl, it only has to be emitted once in a short period of time.
Before the birds could react to the long howl of babbling, Qiuqiu took the opportunity to rush upwards for a distance of nearly ten feet, and finally escaped from the fire-beaked bird area. Qiuqiu shook off the round head covered with sweat beads on his face, the brown hair on his face was much more concentrated than before, and the beard was eight fingers long, very powerful, shaking in the wind. Although Qiuqiu's body is still swollen, its body length is only about seven feet, which is only much taller than the length of ordinary people.
At this time, some vegetation could finally be seen in the area where they were, but it was not as green as ordinary grass and trees, and it seemed to be covered with a layer of dark green paint, which looked sticky and a little dirty. This cliff is still a little weird, only to see that there are holes the size of a skull, arranged irregularly, like a hornet's nest.
The brows were still deep, his legs tightly clamped on the back of the ball, and he put his hand into the package, a bit of a stern posture.
Babbling gently poked Qiuqiu's back with the branch of his left arm, grinned, turned his head and saw that Lili looked nervous, and then his eyes widened and looked around.
The entrances of each cave are very deep, and if you look closely, you can't see the scene inside, but it seems to have magical power, which strongly attracts people's attention.
He had already noticed the size of Qiuqiu's body, and he was faintly uneasy in his heart, but when he saw that the end of the cliff was tens of feet high, and the gloomy sky was blinking, he immediately gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "Qiuqiu, take a sharp breath and rush ......."
"Poof......
As soon as he finished speaking, a tongue-like thing suddenly spat out from a hole in the cliff wall, bright red and smelly, but the front end was the size of a bowl, like a suction cup. The snake-like thing struck straight at the ball.
The ball was inhaling violently, hanging in the air, unable to dodge for a moment.
I only heard a "pop" sound, and the suction cup at the front of the tongue-shaped object instantly attached to the side of the ball's body, and then pulled back violently, trying to suck the absorbed 'prey' into the hole.
"Giant tongue toad!" he couldn't help but take a cool breath.
The Bigtongue Toad is a strange creature on the cliff face of the Rift, digging holes with their fangs and dwelling in caves for long periods of time. Their tongues are fully extended, reaching foot length, and have a suction cup at the top that they will suck up when they encounter a moving living thing, and will not let go until they pull their prey into the hole.
Qiuqiu took a deep breath, his body grew more than a foot long, and he was suddenly dragged by the giant tongue toad, his body shook, and he flew quickly towards the entrance of the cave. He hurriedly shook his limbs and stopped castration.
"Babble, help the ball"
"Poof"
Babbling out the thin tongue that seemed to be a slender branch in his mouth, he hit the middle of the tongue of the giant tongue with a "snap", and then turned around, cutting off the tongue of the giant tongue alive. Babbling back the tender green thin tongue, only to see that the top of the thin tongue was stained with some viscous purple juice, thinking that it was the blood of the giant tongue toad. The purple juice seemed to be extremely fishy, and he babbled and retched a few times, and then wiped his long tongue back and forth with his arms, trying to wipe them away.
"Qiuqiu, rush quickly," Xiao Li hurriedly shouted.
Qiuqiu's body was free from the drag of the giant tongue toad, and he hurriedly squirted at the back end, rushing towards the top of the cliff. But in the dense holes on both sides of the cliffs, dozens of crimson tongues shot out violently, attacking Qiuqiu's swollen body......
