Chapter 688: The Birds Exploded (2-in-1 Chapter)
The wind carries the fragrance of grains, and those with a keen sense of smell will find that as time passes, the fragrance of grains in the air in this place becomes stronger and stronger.
More and more birds flew around, and some of them had begun to peck at the nearby farmland, only to be quickly captured and shot by the guards there.
For the people who came from the other side of the sea, they had experienced the harvest of a thousand grains of gold, and they had long been mentally prepared, but the others were different, although they were told a few days in advance of the possible situation, but it was far less intense than what they had witnessed with their own eyes now.
Especially the people of the Yu tribe who came to help, they were still wondering before, they were just harvesting the grain in the cultivated land, and they were guilty of such a stirring of people? Now, they looked at the dense flock of birds gathered around them, and felt that their scalps were trembling and twitching.
It's good that we didn't farm!" thought the people of the Tsu tribe in unison.
Whether it was the tourists hiding in the cave on the mountain, or the Yanjiao people on the mountain of Yanjiao headquarters, they all saw the birds fluttering and flapping their wings outside the house, although most of them were not fierce beasts, but there were too many of them, and they were all outside.
Lao Ke heard the sound of the trap set by himself outside, accompanied by the cry of birds, Caesar and several other fierce beasts were busy up and down the mountain, and after a while, they had a mouthful of bird feathers.
However, the strange thing is that the flocks of birds only move in those places on the outskirts of the cultivated land, and do not come close to the area centered on the cultivated land of the Thousand Grains. Such a scene is especially obvious when viewed from the air.
"You say, why don't those birds go over there?" Wuhe asked the other six accomplices, looking down at the situation below.
"They know it's the most dangerous place, after all, the Flamehorns are the strongest of all the farmland, and they've heard that the Flamehorns hunt fierce beasts. The evil aura on the body must be very heavy, perhaps the birds also noticed it. One person guessed.
"No, I think there's something there to make the birds fearful. Another person said something different.
"Dangerous things?" the man scoffed, "You're talking about king beasts, if there were king beasts there, there wouldn't be so many flamehorns." It can't be a king beast!"
Wuhe also agrees with this, he has personally experienced the previous King Beast incident, and he also knows that the truth is not as exaggerated as rumored, the Yanjiao people will not send so many people to guard the place where the King Beast appears.
"So, what could be the reason?" the crowd was puzzled.
"Perhaps, Yanjiao got some medicine to repel birds and beasts?" someone suddenly said.
Others paused, thinking about it this way, it is really possible.
"Speaking of which, the fierce beasts domesticated by Flamehorn. None of them are here!" Wuhe investigated again, and he had already discovered in the past two days that the mountain eagle that had chased them had only flown back and forth between the mountains and forests and the trading area recently, at most going to the mountain in the core residential area of Yanjiao, and not once to the cultivated land of Yanjiao.
"That's for sure!" Thinking about it, the others felt that this should be the closest to the truth, and they knew it. In some slave owners' granges, medicine was sometimes used to expel pests and birds. It's just that those prescriptions have always been in the hands of a very small number of people, and they will not be easily passed on. Since Yanjiao was able to get the seeds from Kanaya Jiju, maybe they also got the medicine that drove away the insects and beasts?
"No wonder the long-winged birds don't want to go near there. Wuhe nodded, already agreeing with the guess in his heart.
Fortunately, these long-winged birds are their beast slaves, even if they are reluctant, but at their compulsion. will also act according to their wishes, and when the time comes, just pay attention to it, those drugs are only for insects and beasts, and the impact on people should not be great.
"Come on, take some medicine first. One man pulled out a wooden vial from the cloth bag he was carrying. Once opened, distribute the pills to the others.
This pill is not aimed at a certain kind of drug, but it can also have a certain buffering effect, and even if it is poisoned at that time, as long as it is treated in time, it will not be a big deal. They just went to grab a handful of millet, and they didn't go specifically to eat poison, so they would be fine.
"Hurry up, prepare, I feel like the Yanjiao people are going to act soon!" Wuhe said.
When the others heard this, they also quickly retracted their minds and paid full attention to the situation below.
In the thousand-grain gold cultivated land, Shao Xuan glanced quickly at somewhere in front of his left. It seemed to be peaceful, but it was a place where no one dared to approach, not even a flying insect.
There's a big bat there.
It had been resting on the mountain two days before, and since last night, the leader bat has been directly in the ground, even during the day when it hates, and has not left the place. However, instead of hanging upside down on the tallest leaves, it grabbed the leaves below the Thousand Golden Plants.
Since each tree is large, the leaves on the top are open to the periphery, and even though they are elongated and narrow, they can block some sunlight when they are stacked in large numbers.
The leader bat hung upside down in those shadows, and if he hadn't seen it resting there with his own eyes, it would have been difficult to detect its presence as long as he didn't look over there, at least the people guarding outside the Thousand Grains of Gold Cultivated Land didn't notice the anomaly.
Click, click-
On the heavy ears of grain, thousands of golden grains the size of grapes swayed and collided with the swaying of the ears of grain. The appearance of the grains has not changed significantly, but the inside has been changing, gradually reaching maturity.
Shao Xuan's eyes flashed, and he suddenly blew the wooden whistle in his mouth.
The slightly longer whistle was not high-pitched, but rather peaceful, but after such a whistle, the air seemed to be tense, and the atmosphere became more and more tense and stagnant.
This is the whistle for everyone to prepare.
"Whew!"
A quick and shrill whistle followed, like the sound of a starting gun, and those who were waiting in all directions instantly shot straight into the valley that had been allocated.
It's really more like a battle, a race against time.
The sharp sickle made of animal bones easily cut off the tall thousand grains of gold, and the people who followed closely behind them quickly collected those thousand grains of gold into a large bag of animal skins.
Because there are too many thousand grains of gold planted this time, and the survival rate is much higher than when it was planted for the first time, there is no extra time to cut those ears of grain alone. Rather, they are cut off one by one. After the unified collection is completed, go to find a place to deal with it, otherwise the surrounding birds will bring a lot of trouble.
The areas and routes assigned by each person are planned in advance, and there will be no situation where they will collide with each other while cutting, and they will not take a duplicate route. Save as much time as possible.
Except for one place.
The area where the leader bat is located, Shao Xuan didn't let anyone approach, that is the biggest variable, as long as it doesn't anger it, this harvest can be successfully completed, if someone accidentally passes by, causing that big trouble, it is even more of a headache than a flock of birds.
At the same time, the surrounding flocks of birds that were originally afraid to approach. At this moment, as if desperate, he screamed and rushed over here.
Looking down from the sky, an encirclement of birds could be seen, shrinking towards the valley where Flamehorn was most heavily defended.
"Opportunity!" Wuhe Seven was suddenly excited, and the blood in his body seemed to be boiling.
Under the strong request of Wuhe and a few people, the long-winged bird could only "coo" very reluctantly, and then flew slowly over there.
When the flock of birds approached, the leader bat hid in the shadows of the Thousand Grains of Gold. He opened his bloodshot eyes.
Whew-
The wings that wrap around the body open, bringing with them the faint sound of the wind. In such a noisy situation, this faint wind could not cause a ripple at all, and no one would hear it.
But at the moment when it opened its wings, the flock of birds that quickly surrounded it stopped directly as if someone had pressed the pause button.
A powerful aura that glows with evil spirits. Pouring out from the ground of a thousand grains of gold, especially in the air, this momentum was mainly aimed at the birds that approached in the air.
The Flame Horn warriors, who were hurriedly harvesting a thousand grains of gold, were also so startled by this sudden breath that the scythe in their hands almost shook off.
Beasts!
After hunting too much, they can naturally distinguish whether the other party is a human or a beast from their breath.
No. This wasn't your average beast, it was even more powerful than the beasts they'd ever seen!
There was a strong smell of blood in the air, and I didn't see a drop of blood, and I didn't smell any blood in my nose, but it really made people feel like they were in the blood mist!
At this moment, all the shouts, bows, horns, bones, gold, and birdsong all stopped abruptly as if they were frightened.
Sizzle-
The sound of a swift flow of air is not loud, but it reaches everyone's ears in the middle of this cultivated land.
This voice made people's hairs stand on end, as if there was a bloody fang, ready to move, and killing was about to appear.
Under the noon sun, in this cultivated land, it seems that the sunlight is blocked, and there is no temperature at all, and there is only a chill that makes people shiver, and people's teeth can't help but tremble.
In the air, although Wuhe and the Seven were still far away, they also felt that strange aura.
None and one shuddered, and almost fell off the long-winged bird.
Not only the seven of them, but the seven long-winged birds, like the rest of the flock, stopped flying further, and if their masters had not ******** to pass, they would have withdrawn, and the rhythm of their wings was so chaotic that they rose and fell, and almost turned the frightened man off the bird's back.
"What is that, that, that?" and one of them stammered. They have experienced a lot of things, and even if they don't have the ability to distinguish the breath momentum like the Flamehorn people, they can sense that there is a dangerous creature there, that is, they don't know whether it is a human or a beast.
"How do I have a ...... A sense of foreboding?" said another.
"What's there, man, or beast?"
"Could it be that it's really a king beast?"
"Impossible!" Wuhe immediately denied, and said in an uncertain tone, "It shouldn't be." It's definitely not the one that appeared last time anyway!"
Since it wasn't a king beast, what was the powerful aura that suddenly appeared just now?
What secrets are those Flamehorn people hiding?
"Yanjiao people, it's really cunning!" someone said through gritted teeth.
Others also felt the same way, there were really a lot of secrets hidden by the Yanjiao people, but they really didn't dare to explore it rashly now.
"What should I do?" the other six looked at Wuhe. Although it is sometimes difficult for Wuhe to talk to this person, some decisions are still very correct, and at such times, they also believe in Wuhe's decision.
Wuhe looked down solemnly and said, "Keep waiting! Those birds are not so easy to give up." As long as the flock keeps moving. Then, the one hidden in the Flame Horn is definitely not a king beast!"
Where the king beast appeared, even if there was tempting food, ordinary beasts and fierce beasts would never dare to approach, but those birds around. But after a moment's pause, it began to wander again, as if preparing to charge again.
"No! It's really not a king beast!" said the person beside him.
For them, as long as it's not a king beast, it's worth fighting. If it is a king beast, they don't say a word, they just leave, no matter what secrets you have in Yanjiao, no matter what treasures you have in the field. Just like when the stone insect king insect appeared in the woods outside the trading area before, Wuhe directly threw down the cup and left decisively, they also made the same choice.
But now there are no king beasts, what is risk, they have taken more risks than they have eaten since they were young!
The hanging heart fell instantly, and the seven of them paid attention to the situation below again, waiting for the movements of those birds to decide the time to strike.
In the cultivated land of a thousand grains of gold. The reaping warrior paused when the powerful momentum appeared just now, but quickly came back to his senses in Shao Xuan's reminder. Move on to the task they haven't done yet. No matter what danger there is, as long as the Great Elder is there, he will definitely be fine.
After experiencing the king beast incident, the Yanjiao people trusted Shao Xuan quite a lot. Taking a step back, even if there is an accident, they will not complain about Shao Xuan. The starting point of the Great Elder is always for the good of Yanjiao.
"Ah Xuan, those birds are flying here again!" Ao pulled his bow and pointed his arrow at the sky. The flock of birds is too large, even if it is a good archeryman. In the face of such a large number of birds, it is impossible to cope calmly.
"Wait, don't shoot arrows just yet, watch over there. Shao Xuan nodded his chin in the direction of the leader bat. The leader bat was already getting angry, it was just a warning, after all, it was daytime, and it didn't like to go out during the day.
Flying beasts don't like bows and arrows, even if the other cultivated land is there, a thousand grains of gold and the surrounding land, it's better not to move arrows easily, after all, it is impossible to tell when the bat will fly out, if someone accidentally shoots by mistake and angers the leader bat, this already busy harvesting operation will be even more difficult to succeed.
Ao thought about it, put down his bow, and concentrated on the direction of the leader bat. Neither he nor Shao Xuan participated in the direct harvesting operation, but stared at the leader bat, after all, no one knew what the leader bat was going to do, and if there was a situation, they could react immediately. At the time of crisis, it must be these people with high status and strong strength who are on top.
In the air, the blood like substance is getting stronger and stronger, and if it weren't for the surrounding valley, everyone would still think that they are in a killing field.
Some of the warriors are shaking their scythe-wielding arms, this is not because they are timid, but a psychological and physiological condition to launch, it is nervous, under such a strong pressure, they can still maintain normal harvesting, instead of drawing their knives to guard against it, which is already very good.
The flock slowed down, some began to retreat, some hesitated, and some continued to approach with great courage, heading straight for the golden swaying grain.
The flock of birds that approached, even if they flew above the Thousand Grains of Gold Cultivated Land, did not immediately rush down, but these gathered birds had gradually blocked out the sunlight above.
And just when the flock of birds above finally decided to dive downward, the birds watching around also spread their wings and prepared to shoot.
Whew-
A dark shadow flew out of the shadows of the valley, brushed the golden ears of grain, and headed upward. During the upward rush, invisible and inaudible sound waves were emitted.
Bang!
The nearest bird turned into a cloud of blood mist, and it didn't even have time to let out its last scream.
And when the figure rushed towards the densest flock of birds above, a blood-colored color, accompanied by a bang, like an open red disc, expanded in the air.
The flock of birds, which blocked out the sun, was replaced by an expanding blood mist, spreading out in the sunlight and descending on the cultivated land.
If before, it was just because of that powerful momentum that people felt as if they smelled blood, then now, it is really bloody!
The people who harvested the crops below, whether it was from the Thousand Grains of Gold Cultivated Land or other nearby cultivated land, as well as the warriors of the Za tribe who came to help, the guards standing guard on the watchtower, and so on, all saw the terrifying scene above the cultivated land.
The attack of the leader bat was only aimed at the birds, but those who were harvesting grain in the fields were also affected, and they had to stop their work, cover their ears, and their whole heads felt as if they had been pricked by thousands of needles. It's okay for people who are a little farther away, and those who are close to the thousand-grain gold cultivated land are the ones who suffer the most, but their strength is also the strongest among the people in charge of harvesting, as long as the leader bats are not aimed at them, they can still carry it, but they just feel uncomfortable.
Ao clenched his hand with the bow and looked upward, ignoring the blood mist that landed on his face, and stared straight at the battle above. No, it can't be called a fight, it's just a one-sided slaughter. A flock of birds tempted by food, a half-king beast that has been provoked, it is clear which is stronger and which is weak.
There was a heavy ear of grain hanging down on Shao Xuan's head, and the blood mist descending from above covered the full grains with a layer of red.
Shao Xuan plucked a grain and wiped off the layer of blood attached to the grain with his fingers, revealing the golden sheen of the husk of the grain below. The luster of the thousand grains of golden chaff seems to be more brilliant and dazzling.
Thinking of the situation when he first discovered the nutrients needed for the growth of a thousand grains of gold, Shao Xuan looked at the gold-like grain in his hand again.
Perhaps, the growth and maturity of a thousand grains of gold are destined to be accompanied by blood. This is the golden light born of blood.
In the sky, the banging sound continued, but the leader bat didn't seem to have any intention of letting go of the birds that angered it, and still didn't stop chasing it, only this time with its claws and fangs.
After the blood mist, some torn bird corpses will always fall, some of which are so shriveled that they don't seem to have a drop of blood, and they are incomplete, which shows that the temperament of the one above is very cruel.
As if awakened, the birds scattered with screams.
Of course, there are also those who are still nervous and courageous, and when the leader of the bats goes to chase and kill other birds, they will go to the side of the thousand-grain gold cultivated land, thinking that they can achieve their goal, but unfortunately the Yanjiao people have long been on guard there.
The harvest continued, the sky and the ground were also busy, and Wuhe and the others, who had long seen that the situation was not good and avoided the attack of the leader bat, also saw their opportunity, and the Flame Horn and the terrifying bat didn't pay attention to them!
"Chance!"
"In the past!"
"Hurry up, grab a handful while the grain is still gone!" (To be continued.) )
