Chapter 104: Snow Falcon Messenger
The fat man snorted, "A team with uneven hearts, the fat man is very skeptical now, whether we can really find the bronze gate later." β
Wu Xie looked at the pale lake full of ice and exhaled a white breath, "Go back and wait, he will definitely come back." β
The two returned to the lama temple with their guns, closed the wooden plank, and when they went up to the second floor, they saw Zhang Haixing standing at the window and leaning out of her small body, carefully observing the window lattice.
When Feng saw the two of them coming in, he hurriedly greeted them with a worried face, and asked in a low voice, "What about Mr. Bai?" β
"Bai Ci has returned to Kangbalo, we can't leave tonight, we have to wait for him depending on the situation." Wu Xie raised his chin to the window, "What is she looking at there?" β
Feng turned his head to look over, and an imperceptible darkness flashed in his eyes, "Miss Zhang is checking to see if the black shadow that flew away before has left any clues." β
As soon as the words fell, Zhang Haixing turned around and beckoned to them, "Feng, come and see, what kind of animal scratches are these." β
Wu Xie and the others also followed, and said strangely: "What did you find?" β
"The claw marks of the beast." Zhang Haixing pointed to a wooden board on the window lattice.
There are two sets of very clear paw prints on the board, slightly smaller than the human handprints, each group has four, three longer than the front and one shorter than the back, the shape is scattered and gathered, and the two ends are sharp, like two clusters of knife flowers deeply carved into the wood.
The construction of this lama temple is made of pineapple lattice wood that has undergone special treatment, and its toughness and solidity are extraordinary, and even if you use a knife to scratch on it, it takes a lot of effort to draw such a deep mark.
The fat man stretched out his arm, stretched his fingers and gestured in the direction of the claw marks, and the tips of the five fingers were put together and withdrawn, and then the little fingers were cocked to the side, staring thoughtfully at the four fingers that were together.
It didn't take a few seconds to hear him hiss, "Hey naive, don't you notice, this seal is a little familiar, where do we usually see this kind of similar mark?" β
Wu Xie also gestured with his hand according to his appearance, and a thought suddenly popped up in his mind, "There are only four toes, and the only ones we usually see are ...... Chicken feet! β
The fat man snapped his fingers proudly, "That's right, if this special trace wasn't for chicken feet, I wouldn't eat sweet and sour chicken feet for a year." β
Zhang Haixing glanced at him speechlessly, "Who cares if you eat chicken feet or not, open your eyes and see, have you ever seen chicken feet as big as a human hand?" That's got to be a phoenix claw. β
The fat man looked at Zhang Haixing with disdain, with a hopeless expression on her face, "Fat man, I just said that this shape looks like chicken feet, I didn't say that Ya is chicken feet." β
"Even if it is a long-tailed pheasant, it is impossible to fly to this high-altitude snowy field, in my opinion, such a large mark is estimated to be a large eagle, or some other bird of prey."
"You're right, comrade dung." The fat man pulled the animal associate professor Feng to prove to him.
Feng was already immune to his inconspicuous title, nodded and said: "This is indeed the claw marks left by eagles or falcons, and they are the only ones who can fly freely on the snowy plateau, but there is nothing else except this trace, otherwise I can analyze more detailed information." β
Zhang Haixing didn't answer the fat man's eyes, and said: "Look at this paw print, that bird of prey should be not small, living in a cold area can grow to this size, and can be domesticated, it is estimated that only the spear falcon, that is, the folk saying Hai Dongqing." β
"Domesticated?" Wu Xie grasped the point of her words, and said suspiciously, "Regardless of whether this bird is Hai Dongqing or not, how do you know that it was domesticated?" β
Zhang Haixing sneered and explained calmly, "Bai Ci quickly broke the window and jumped into the lake after hearing Hai Dongqing's movements, it is impossible for Hai Dongqing to enter the water, assuming that his goal is to catch Hai Dongqing, then there is no need to jump into the ice lake." β
"So that Hai Dongqing must have been domesticated and flew here to report to Bai Ci." Zhang Haixing was very sure.
Wu Xie and the fat man glanced at each other, and they both felt that what she said seemed to have some truth.
If it was a spear falcon domesticated by the Kangbaluo people, then he would definitely be able to recognize that this was a messenger falcon, and the messenger falcon didn't know what was lost in the water, so Bai Ci chased the thing and jumped in.
Bai Ci was concerned about the safety of the Kangballo people, and after receiving the message, he immediately used a method that Wu Xie and the others did not know, and went directly to Kangballo from the secret route in the ice lake.
And it is this that makes Zhang Haixing very dissatisfied, she feels that Bai Ci is hiding too much from them, since they are a team, and their goals are the same, any channel information should be taken out and shared.
"We'll rest here tonight for the time being, and we'll leave early tomorrow morning." Zhang Haixing patted Feng's shoulder and said, "This time your star map can come in handy." β
Wu Xie frowned, "You mean, we won't wait for Bai Ci?" β
Zhang Haixing sneered, "I am the leader of this team, his kind of person who left the team without permission did not care about everyone's safety and tasks at all, we don't need to wait for him." β
"Even if you old woman is old, there are a lot of things, what's the matter, people have to report to you when they go back to their own homes." The fat man said unhappily.
Zhang Haixing was angry at first, and then immediately reacted, his suspicious eyes turned around Wu Xie and the fat man, and said tentatively: "How long have you known each other, what kind of ecstasy soup did he pour into you, it is worth the two of you to defend him like this." β
The fat man reacted quickly, and immediately rolled his eyes at Zhang Haixing with disdain, "Just at his face, the fat man, I think it's pleasing to the eye, what's the matter, besides, he was a bodyguard we were naΓ―ve but spent money to hire before leaving, and this hasn't played a role yet, so we can't let the money go down the drain." β
Zhang Haixing didn't care if the dead fat man could go or not, the focus she wanted to focus on was Wu Xie, so she looked directly at Wu Xie, with a hint of threat in her tone, "Tomorrow whether Bai Ci comes back or not, we all have to go, you know, although it is inconvenient to take you away, it is not very difficult for me." β
"After all, we still have to cooperate, and I don't want to make things too ugly." Zhang Haixing glanced at the fat man with an arrogant expression, "As for this noisy fat man, I have the means to shut him up forever." β
Hearing her say this, Wu Xie also suddenly turned cold, and pulled out the pistol pinned to his waist, "You can try!" β
The gun on the fat man's back hadn't been put down yet, and he threw it into his hand in a second to pull the bolt and load, the muzzle of the gun was pointed directly at Zhang Haixing, raised his eyebrows, and looked angry, "You want to make trouble, right?" Then see if your bow and crossbow are fast, or the bullet in Lao Tzu's hand is fast. (End of chapter)
