Chapter 172: The Vulture Man Who Escaped
Don't look at the big mule pigs, but when they reach the vulture's mouth, they are eaten clean in a few moments, leaving only a pile of skeletons. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Phew, it's unpalatable. The vulture man turned back into human form, spitting out the bones in his mouth, and grumbling.
Finally, don't forget to pick up the white mushrooms on the ground, this is a good thing to seduce monsters.
He was going to change places and continue to tempt the beasts like this.
"What's that?!" the vulture man stopped picking up mushrooms, his eyes fixed on the tree he had ambushed before.
He felt a fluctuation of energy from the tree, albeit subtle.
His eyes were vigilant, the energy in his body flowed, and his whole body was on alert.
The surface of the previous tree distorted, and a human face emerged from the trunk of the tree.
The human face is lifelike, the face is full of folds, and I don't know if it's because of the bark or if this face is like this.
The chin of the human face still has a goatee that hangs down long.
The human face stared at the vulture man, his lips moving slightly, and he made a hoarse, low voice.
"Black Feather, did you fail in your mission?" the human face asked with a questioning voice.
After seeing this human face, the vulture man Black Feather let down his vigilance and his face softened slightly.
But then I became a little nervous.
"I beg your pardon. Black Feather lowered his head at the face of the person in the tree, and a little sweat oozed from his forehead.
The face was silent for a moment before he spoke: "Tell me why the mission failed." ”
Black Feather hurriedly said: "Yes, at the beginning, I followed the instructions of the adults and successfully deceived the guard next to the princess, but ......"
Black Feather was a little hard to say.
The face didn't say a word, just stared at the black feather.
Black Feather was a little ashamed, after all, the plan to divert the tiger from the mountain was very successful.
At that time, I thought that without that old guy, I could easily complete the task and take away the princess of the Red Eagle Empire, after all, in the intelligence, the princess was only a cultivator of the Qi Condensation Realm.
Black Feather was full of confidence, but he never expected that this princess who was not taken to heart by him would end up hitting him hard.
Instead of completing the task, he was seriously injured and ran away in embarrassment, how could Black Feather not be ashamed.
In the end, Hei Yu still told the story of the task in 1510, and he didn't dare to hide it in the slightest.
"You mean, you were seriously injured by the princess of the Condensation Realm, the target of the mission, and then you escaped. "The voice of the human face is hoarse, and I can't hear emotions.
The sweat on Black Feather's forehead continued to increase, "Yes...... Yes. ”
After admitting it, Hei Yu suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly added: "That princess once summoned a phoenix phantom, which is very powerful, and I was seriously injured under this phoenix phantom." ”
"Phoenix Phantom Combat Skill?" the face of the tree spoke.
"No, it must not be a combat skill, I can feel the fear from the bloodline, it is the true King of the White Birds. Black Feather expressed the fear in his heart when facing the phoenix phantom.
"If it's really the phoenix in person, will you still have a chance to live?" said the human face.
"This ......" Hei Yu was stunned, yes, if it was really a phoenix, he wouldn't know if he hadn't died.
"If it can cause your blood to fear, it is either that she has a hint of phoenix truth in her combat skills, or it is related to her talent, there are only two possibilities. The face continued.
Hei Yu thought about it, there are indeed only these two possibilities, either combat skills or talents, anyway, it can't be the real phoenix in person.
"My lord, please give me another chance, this time I will definitely complete the mission. "Kuroba tried to save.
"No need, come back first, the failure of this mission has already taken a startle, and the royal family of the Red Eagle Empire will definitely be vigilant. The face vetoed.
When Hei Yu heard this, he suddenly became a little anxious, "But my lord, if I failed to capture their princess as a bait this time, wouldn't my lord's plan be stranded." ”
"I have made up my own mind, you go back to your tribe to recuperate, and then there will be a place where you are needed. The voice of the human face was still hoarse, but it already took on a hint of impatience.
Hei Yu also heard it, knowing that he had no hope of revenge, so he had to nod his head, and at the same time, he was also a little glad in his heart, glad that he was not punished by this adult for failing the mission.
"Then that's it. After saying this, the human face gradually disappeared into the bark of the tree until it disappeared, and the tree returned to its original normal appearance, without any energy fluctuations.
Black Feather glanced back in the direction of the Red Eagle Empire, and after finding nothing wrong, he turned around and ran up, jumped high, and his body flew into the sky, turning into a vulture, and flying into the distance.
At night, after Wanzong returned to the mansion, he found Lin Wu.
The two made a pot of tea and sat cross-legged at the door facing each other, with a tea table in the middle.
"How about this tea?" Wan Zong asked when he saw Lin Wu pick up the teacup and take a sip.
"In general, it's not as good as the tea made from Bibo leaves. Lin Wu commented calmly, and did not forget to take another sip at the end.
Wanzong shook his head, who doesn't know that the tea brewed by Bibo Leaf is delicious, and his tea is grown by himself, of course, it can't be compared with the Bibo Leaf of Heaven and Earth.
"How did you do the matter of Flying Fish Mountain?" Wan Zong said.
"It just so happened. Lin Wu knew that Wan Zong was asking about saving the princess.
"Then what are you doing in Flying Fish Mountain? "Wanzong is a little strange, why did Lin Wu run to Flying Fish Mountain to do it.
"Cultivation. Although Lin Wu said that this tea was average, he still kept drinking it, and it bottomed out in a blink of an eye.
"Cultivation?"
Lin Wu pulled the teapot on the table, poured another cup for himself, and suddenly the cup was steaming again, and he took a small sip, "Ha~~"
"Well, didn't I say it, I'm more suitable to seek a breakthrough in battle, and blindly cultivating will lead to slow progress in cultivation. ”
Wanzong had indeed heard Lin Wu say this, and now he had also noticed that Lin Wu's cultivation had broken through the Enlightenment Realm and reached the Qi Condensation Realm, proving that what Lin Wu said was true.
Wan Zong nodded, "That's really a fluke, if you didn't go to Flying Fish Mountain this time, once the princess was killed, I think a war would be inevitable." ”
"Isn't the empire also deploying troops now, isn't it fighting like this?" Lin Wu asked as he put down his glass.
Now that troops are constantly being sent and hoarded on the borders of the empire, there are already many people who think that the empire wants to start a war against this time, and the people in the imperial capital are ready for war.
Wan Zong shook his head and said: "This time the Snow Princess was attacked, or was attacked on the edge of our imperial capital, and almost lost her life, you can imagine Your Majesty's anger, whether it is for the face of the country or for strategic deterrence, this time we need to make an example of the monkey to prevent this kind of sneak attack on the royal family in the future." ”
Lin Wu understood as soon as he heard it, "I understand, it's not a direct war, this time a large number of troops were dispatched, in addition to catching the murderer who attacked the princess, there is also the idea of deterring the neighboring beast tribes and countries." ”
Wan Zong took a sip of tea, "There are indeed two reasons, of course, there is also a part of the reason, it is that His Majesty has wanted to increase the number of troops on the border recently. ”
Lin Wu thought for a moment, "What is going on at the border, we need to increase the number of troops, I remember that Prince Yanfeng also said that the border seems to be very unquiet recently." ”
Wan Zong sighed, "Yes, I don't know when, many small tribes of beasts have gathered near the border, ready to move, and even some beasts have invaded some remote villages. ”
Hearing Wan Zong's words, Lin Wu instantly remembered that when he first came to this world, he was colonized by the invading Black Flame Dog Clan.
"So, at that time, some of the beast tribes were already restless. Lin Wu thought in his heart.
Wan Zong didn't seem to want to talk about this topic, so there was no more to talk about it, drinking tea by himself, Lin Wu didn't bother to delve into it, this was not his business, there was no need to kill his brain cells for this.
