The dark sky began to be covered with clouds again, and there was not a trace of starlight. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Just when the three guides secretly guessed what kind of treasure was born in the center of Shidu Township, the three of them suddenly changed their faces at the same time, and each took out a square paper rune, the edge of which was engraved with swimming golden lines, sometimes forming obscure characters, which were the flying notes used to deliver the message.
As soon as the two guides took out the sigil, the two flying notes spontaneously combusted in their hands for no reason, and the two flying notes turned into ashes in an instant.
Only the flying note in the lean guide's hand shone brightly, and from the talisman came a loud rumbling noise, mixed with a terrifying voice—
"It's a beast! a giant beast that is so strong that we don't have the slightest chance of winning! The entire Forest of Thorns...... Fast...... Let's go!"
The extremely nervous voice came to an abrupt halt, and the flying note ignited a leaping flame, burning into a cloud of black embers under the gaze of the three ugly-faced guides.
The sound from the flying notes was unusually hoarse, spreading across the empty field, overpowering all the noise and reaching everyone's ears.
The noisy Taniguchi was instantly replaced by silence, the night wind howled, and the hairs on Yi Xiao's arms stood on end.
That voice was clearly a black-robed young man led by six guides!
The black-robed young man had a great say among the six guides, which showed that his strength must be the strongest, and the cultivator of the Sixth Heavens, the senior who could beat him into the dust and mud with coercion without moving his fingers before the Heavenly Test, would actually emit such a flying note...... So, what kind of terrible and formidable enemies did the three guides who entered Shidu Township encounter?
The distant noise in the swamp suddenly took on an even more terrifying sense of oppression.
The three guides of Taniguchi gathered together, and the woman in purple gasped and said hurriedly: "The three flying notes are all destroyed, the flying notes are in pairs, if there is no other interference, only one will be destroyed, and the other will spontaneously combust, what does this mean Both of them should know in their hearts! That thing in the swamp is not something we can deal with!"
"Senior sister is right! I'll pass the news to the senior uncle stationed at the station, maybe the senior uncle has already noticed it, but it's better to send a flying note. What matters now is that we should take these seedlings who have passed the primary election and go first! Don't waste any more time!" said the lean young man's face was cloudy for a while, and he forced himself to calm down and reluctantly said.
"Let's go now, what will happen to those eliminated little ones?" a guide hesitated as he glanced at the blackened crowd farther away.
There was silence.
The lean young man gritted his teeth: "I can't take care of them, a few senior brothers have an accident in Shidu Township, we don't have the manpower and no time to lay out the teleportation map again, in this case, let them fend for themselves! If you have that luck, maybe you can leave a life if you don't step into the range of Shidu Township." As for us, it is important to keep the seedlings who pass the primary!"
The other two sighed secretly in their hearts, and without thinking about it anymore, they both quickly took out another flying note and quickly conveyed the situation to the seniors stationed in their respective divisions.
Immediately afterwards, the lean man took out a palm-sized object from the mustard seed ring and placed it on the ground, and as soon as the black object was placed on the ground, it crawled a few steps at his feet, and let out a few screams. If you look closely, it is a thing that looks like a bird and not a bird, like a dragon and not a dragon, the whole body is like a wood, with a pair of pure black bone wings on its back, and there is a faint membrane connected between the bone wings, and it is hairless but drags a few long black tail feathers, how strange it looks.
The seal in the guide's hand, the immortal element was infused in both hands, and as the magic seal entered the body of this thing, then all three of them took a dozen steps back.
The black guy suddenly burst into a dazzling golden red in the dark night, and when his eyes adjusted to the dazzling light, he was greeted by a giant strange bird fifteen feet long.
The head of the strange bird was slightly similar to the Heavenly Demon Eagle that Yi Qi had seen for the first time, but there was no sarcoma on the top of the head, and his eyes couldn't see whether there were pupils at all, but it was like a light bulb scattering two golden red rays of light from the inside out.
The whole thing is shocking when it gets bigger, it is brownish-black all over, except for the long tail feathers, the whole thing seems to be made of wood, and if you look closely, you will see that the skeleton is also a wooden structure. The strange bird's belly was skinless and fleshless, wrapped in tight ribs, and the dazzling golden-red light pierced through the gaps in the bones. There are three claws in the front and back, all of which are very thick and deeply hooked into the ground, which looks very stable. Several iron cables dangled from the edge of the bird's back, dangling around the strange bird's body.
Roughly speaking, this strange bird is slender and streamlined, and the light source is stuffed into the belly, and only the shoulder and back appear very flat and solid.
Without any explanation, the guide drove everyone to the back of the bird.
"Don't mother-in-law, mother-in-law, go up!"
The lean guide looked very anxious, and frequently looked at Taniguchi, followed by several strange loud noises, his heart trembled, and he turned back sharply, and scolded these uneasy young men and girls: "Time is pressing, I can't allow you to rub around here, I don't care what background you have before, which young master and young lady it is, if anyone delays the opportunity, don't blame me for throwing him into the swamp to fend for himself!"
The hundreds of them who passed the primary election were already extremely tired, but now they didn't dare to delay anything, and they all gathered around in all directions, jumping on the back of the bird without saying a word.
Yi Kui also grabbed an iron chain hanging from the bird's back, bowed his back, adjusted his center of gravity and climbed the bird's back with the iron cable.
As soon as he came up, Yi Xiao saw that these iron cables were directly fixed to the bird's back, and they had been integrated with the skin of the bird's back.
Shi Jin and Meng Geng immediately followed and stood beside him.
Although the back of this bird is incredibly wide, it seems a little crowded when seven or eight hundred people come up, except for some people who are close to them, they can clearly see it, but Bai Qingjiu, who was far away from them before, is now unable to see any trace at all.
Yi Xiao and the three of them found a place to sit cross-legged and looked around.
Yi Xiao touched the skin on the back of the bird, and his doubts deepened, the feel under the touch was no different from the tight wood, it did not look like a living thing, and it could not be a teleportation array, looking at the huge wings that covered the sky and the moon, it should be a special means of transportation.
There are half-buried chains everywhere on the bird's back, and Yi Xiao somehow thought of the pull rings used to fix the body on the bus, and these half-exposed chains also have some meaning.
The people around also sat down in twos and threes, and they didn't dare to make any loud noises since they heard the voice of the black-robed young man coming from the center of the swamp.
Everyone came up very quickly, and it seemed that everyone didn't want to delay a little time, and it didn't take long for the bird's back to be densely filled with young cultivators.
There were still a dozen or so people on the ground who had not come up, but at this moment there was a loud and violent noise from the depths of the swamp, and the ground shook violently, and huge cracks appeared in some places that were not very strong.
The culminators who had been left farther on the plain also felt the crisis, and many fell into the great maws of the earth without noticing, as if they finally realized that they had been left behind by the guides, and no longer waited in one place, running or fleeing, like a swarm of frightened ants scattered on the land.
And the boys and girls who haven't sat down on the strange bird are all stumbling and almost falling.
The three guides were shocked, their expressions became even more nervous, and as soon as the purple-clothed woman's figure moved, the whole person disappeared. The dozen or so cultivators who hadn't had time to come up all felt a strong force coming from their bodies, and then they were thrown on the back of a bird by the purple-clothed woman one by one.
When he came back to his senses, the three guides were already standing on the shoulders closest to the bird's head.
"Sit tight! If you fall, no one will come to catch you!"
The lean guide shouted, then took out a dozen or so lustrous crystals from his bosom and patted the strange bird's neck.
The strange bird, which was motionless and was regarded as a dead thing by Yi Xiao, suddenly cried loudly, the bird's head turned one hundred and eighty degrees, swallowed the crystal thrown to it by the guide, and fluttered its huge wings with great excitement.
A few low exclamations dispersed through the crowd.
Yi Xiaofu lowered his body, firmly grasped the iron chain in his hand, and let the wind mixed with sand and dust whistling past his face, and an astonishing feeling of overweight suddenly pressed on his body.
In an instant, the strange bird carried them off the ground, and suddenly rose dozens of feet high.
But before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, a loud bang came again, this one was extremely heavy and heavy, which made many people's hearts tremble, and there was a nosebleed winding down. Immediately afterwards, a sweet fragrance spread to the mouth and nose, and at this moment, hundreds of people on the strange bird changed color in unison.
The miasma of the swamp would have rushed out of the range of Shidu Township and spread to this point!
Compared to before, this miasma also seemed to have a completely different appearance, more intense, sweeter, and more poisonous, and the wisps of it were wrapped around the bodies of all cultivators, like invisible arms pulling everyone, trying to drag them into the abyss.
"How can it be so powerful!?" exclaimed the woman in purple.
She held the bird's head in disbelief, the rotten poison that had no effect on the five heavens and above actually included their six heaven guides at this moment, and with this sweet fragrance, she even had the illusion that her body was gradually decaying.
"Brother Zhou, I heard that you are not wearing an imitation of the Three Purity Bottles, and you don't need to wait any longer at this moment!"
"What! I used a hundred-year-old incense wood to conceive a small half bottle in five springs and autumns, how precious it is, how can I use it here!?"
"At this time, if we hide in the nest again, most of these seedlings will be destroyed! At that time, the teachers and commanders will blame it, can we afford it!" The woman in purple pointed at the hundreds of people on the back of the strange bird, only to see that these talents who had just passed the primary trial were all languishing, and a few people dragged two lines of nosebleeds and planted on the back of the strange bird.
"This ...... Okay, I'll give it a try!"
The other guide twitched his face, brushed it in his hand, and took a small porcelain bottle.
He pulled out the cork with a painful face, shook it, and blew lightly.
A cool smell immediately spread, and in an instant, the faces of hundreds of teenagers and girls who were haunted by rotten incense were much better. The guide hurriedly put on the red tassel cork and hid the bottle in his arms.
In the center of Shidu Township in the distance, no one knows what kind of scenery it is now, even if they are on the back of a strange bird, but through the surrounding mountains, they can't see its true appearance. But above the strange swamp, the cumulus clouds that were about to drip blood, made the treacherous place of the Forest of Thorns a glimpse of it.
The lean young man breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly urged the strange bird to rise into the air.
But for some reason, the strange bird fluttered its wings and cried urgently, but it couldn't fly into the sky.
"Senior brother, this rotten poison is strange, it haunts us like an entity, and I'm afraid that the red tooth is affected, so it's hard to leave!"
The atmosphere was tense, and the lean young man silently pinched the trick without saying a word, looked a little into his eyes, and looked around the strange bird, and the next moment, he said with a dark face: "This rotten poison is not ordinary, there is a large amount of dark qi mixed with it, and it is controlled." He stretched out his hand and pointed to the wings of the strange bird, "The red tooth crow is bound by these spiritual qi, although it won't be long before he can get out of trouble, but ...... delay time."
He listened to the increasingly frightening loud noise in the depths of the swamp, his heart shrank, and then he kicked the strange bird viciously, scolded, and took out a dozen or so dark crystals, which bounced into the mouth of the strange bird who was dissatisfied and wanted to peck at him.
"Up!"
The strange bird chewed and swallowed its belly, screamed, and its whole body was red, and the wind suddenly rose.
If there were any living people left on the ground, they would be able to see this behemoth glittering with golden red light, under the cover of flying sand and rocks, soaring into the sky until it disappeared into the dark clouds.
......
After the strange bird flew up to the clouds, it was completely free from the entanglement of the miasma, and it was obvious that the atmosphere was much more relaxed, and the loud noise in the depths of the swamp was completely left behind in two clicks, and it could no longer be heard.
The bitter wind blew so that people could not open their eyes, their eyes hurt hotly, and their robes made a hunting sound, and as soon as they opened their mouths, the wind poured in from their mouths, choking people. At this time, compared with the martial arts master, the weakness of the Yuan Qi master's physique was fully revealed.
Yi Qi blocked one hand in front of him, and looked at Shi Jin and them with half-squinted eyes.
I saw that Shi Jin and Meng Geng both seemed to be not affected by this wind at all, and they both widened their eyes, staring at the sea of clouds around them with a good look, and the expressions on their faces were full of interest.
The light of the strange bird itself dyed the surrounding clouds and mist golden red, as beautiful as a dream, and it was indeed a rare and superb sight for cultivators who had never directly traveled through the clouds and mist.
If it weren't for this violent wind, Yi Xiao would have wanted to watch it carefully.
He couldn't figure out whether the vehicles in the cloud-scorched world were dead or alive, which might be similar to the feeling of taking an airplane with a sunroof......
Just as he was secretly slandering, one of the guides poured a seal into the strange bird's head......
After a while, Yi Kui, like other cultivators, felt that the wind was weakening, he raised his head and took a closer look, only to find that a circle of wandering runes rose around the strange bird at some point, enveloping the entire body of the strange bird, and its shape was very similar to the original city protection rune of Xiaolai City, it was with the existence of this circle of runes, the oncoming wind was already as gentle as a stroke.
He sat up straight, took another hooded cloak from the mustard ring, and put it on, hiding half of his face under his clothes again.
Only then did he turn back to Shi Jin and ask, "What is this strange bird?"
Shi Jin had expected that he would not be clear, so he grinned and replied with a smile: "Have you seen it for a long time? This is the unique guidance tool of the three major sects, the red tooth black." ”
