Chapter XXIII. Strange birds

Golmud City.

On the top floor of Daxing Apartment, Huang Xiao was sitting cross-legged on the sofa and telling a few colleagues about the discoveries of the trip into the mountains.

Among them, the girl sitting next to Huang Xiao, a little chubby and wearing black-framed glasses, flipped her mobile phone, pointed to the picture of the claw marks on the mobile phone and said:

"Xiaoxiao, are you sure this is not a forgery?

If such a large paw print is real, I really can't imagine the extent of this snow leopard individual. ”

Huang Xiao nodded and replied:

"I'm basically sure that after a long time of research, at least we can still distinguish between the real and the fake.

However, it is true that the snow leopard is not certain by looking at the claw marks alone, but the bloody footprints of the snow leopard when it ran away here are almost exactly the same as those of the snow leopard, so I think it is very likely that it is a snow leopard or its undiscovered subspecies. ”

At this time, the elderly man sitting on the sofa next to him put down his mobile phone and spoke:

"We must go into the mountains, whether it is a new species or a special individual, it has great research value, and we can't give up this clue."

"It's definitely not enough for just the four of us to go into the mountains, but since it's certain that it's likely to be a super individual or even a new species, then we're definitely going to look for it.

Well, I'll contact the civilian search and rescue team to get us in, otherwise it's too unsafe, and I don't want to be torn to shreds like poachers. ”

The thin white man sitting on the arm of the sofa touched his chin and said.

"Okay, that's it.

Xiao Huang and Xiao Liu went to buy supplies, Xiao Zhang contacted the search and rescue team, and I went to the reserve to report for entry procedures, and when the formalities were completed, we set off immediately.

I'll pay for all the expenses of this event. ”

The older man immediately made a decision.

When the thin white man named Zhang Xin heard this, he immediately turned on his mobile phone and began to contact the civilian search and rescue team.

Huang Xiao and Xiao Liu on the side also hurriedly changed their clothes and went out to buy.

The older man took out his mobile phone and dialed a number.

"Hey, Lao Zhang.

It's me Lao He, I'm going to take my apprentices into the reserve, are you in the office?

Well, this time I'm going to conduct a survey of the current situation of snow leopards in a protected area.

Okay, I'll come to the office with the materials to find you. ”

The older man surnamed He just hung up the phone and immediately went downstairs in a hurry.

His excitement can be seen in the pace at which he does not fit his age.

He Zhanqiang has been engaged in animal research for more than 30 years and is known as an old professor-level figure in the western region.

He didn't think of this discovery as a special individual or some new species like the three apprentices, he knew better.

According to his guess, this trace is likely to be left by the so-called aura creature mentioned in the previous high-level aura investigation meeting held some time ago.

Recently, this kind of discovery has been made in various parts of China, and it was officially mentioned at the meeting, and individuals who see anomalies will report it immediately.

He Zhanqiang took out his mobile phone on the road and thought about it, but still dialed the phone number of the department claiming to be the Reiki Research Bureau.

When the phone was connected, there was a very calm voice on the other side of the phone, as if nothing could make him make waves.

After He Zhanqiang introduced himself, he truthfully informed him of the information he knew.

After listening to the calm voice on the other end of the phone, he only replied with a yes, thank you, and told him not to touch it without permission, and hung up the phone because it was dangerous.

The man who answered the phone spoke very briefly, and he was not polite because of He Zhanqiang's identity.

But I don't know why, He Zhanqiang can't afford to be angry, as if this voice has magic power.

After hanging up the phone, He Zhanqiang hesitated, but still didn't listen to the words of the peaceful voice and canceled the action.

At this point, just on the other side of the phone.

A young man in a wide and simple robe, with long hair pinned into a bun with a wooden hairpin, was smiling and muttering to himself.

"It is suspected that the snow leopard has transformed, in addition to those few in Kunlun Mountain, how many creatures have embarked on the path of cultivation?"

At this time, Ying Bei didn't know that Ying Yun's existence had been preliminarily mastered by the human aura research department.

He was cultivating in the bird's nest in the center, and on the stone platform next to him sat spirit beasts such as Ying Bai and Ying Yun in turn.

The entire Lingyun Stone Platform is full of aura in the cultivation of several people in Yingbei, and it has a bit of the charm of the Immortal Cave Mansion.

Suddenly, Ying Bai's ears in cultivation moved twice, and then he immediately got up and jumped out of the Lingyun Stone Platform.

It was the wolves who came back, but the second wolf king in the wolf pack was whining, and when he saw Ying Bai hearing the sound, the second wolf king immediately stepped forward to communicate with Ying Bai about something.

Ying Bai has established a simple wolf language system in the wolf pack, which is more accurate than the wolf pack in the wild.

After hearing the report of the Second Wolf King, Ying Bai's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he glanced back at the entrance of the Lingyun Stone Platform and immediately took the wolves out.

Ying Bai had just gotten a message from the mouth of the Second Wolf King.

To the west of the cave, opposite the poachers' camp, the wolves were hunting when they noticed a strange sound in a crack in the rock.

The wolves obeyed Ying Bai's instructions and found that the anomaly did not approach, but came back to tell Ying Bai.

Ying Bai originally wanted to tell Ying Bei, but after thinking about it, he couldn't find Ying Bei for everything, otherwise it would be useless for Ying Bei to cultivate them.

So Ying Bai followed the wolves to the crack in the stone where the strange sound was found.

Before he got closer, he heard a cry from a distance, it was a human voice, Ying Bai was immediately vigilant, thinking that someone might have fallen into a stone crevice.

Because Ying Bei is not allowed to contact humans, Ying Bai does not intend to ignore it.

But Ying Bai asked about the taste of aura in the crack in the stone.

Ying Bai howled, and one of the wolves, a relatively small wolf with white and gray fur, stepped forward to enter the stone crevice to check.

After a while, the gray wolf walked out with a strange bird with a snow-white body and only two eyes with a circle of black.

The aura that Ying Bai smelled came from the strange bird.

At this time, the strange bird kept saying something in human language, but there was no aura resonance in the voice, so Ying Bai couldn't understand it.

can only ask the gray wolf to continue to take it back to the cave and hand it to Ying Bei Faluo.

As soon as Ying Bai brought the strange bird back to the cave, Ying Bei felt the movement outside the cave and withdrew from his cultivation state.

How can a human speak?

According to Lingyu's feedback, it is obvious that Ying Bai is back, how can there be any people, could it be that Ying Bai has caught someone back?

Flying out of the Lingyun Stone Platform, Ying Bei saw a strange bird in the mouth of the gray wolf that kept scolding the street in human words.

The pair of dark circles under the strange bird are really eye-catching.

"What's going on?"

A little strange Ying Bei fell next to Ying Bai and asked.

Ying Bai replied that the claws of the strange bird were stuck in the small cracks in the stones, and the wolves dragged them out of the cracks.

As soon as the strange bird saw Ying Bai, he immediately stopped spitting fragrance, but trembled all over, and he didn't dare to look at Ying Bei.

Well?

Ying Bei, who noticed the strange bird's posture, was so anthropomorphic that this bird's posture obviously had a strong intelligence.

Then he motioned to Ying Bai to put down the strange bird, lowered his head to control the laryngeal muscles, and asked in a somewhat obscure Chinese dialect:

"Where are you from?"

Hearing that Ying Bei could also speak human language, the strange bird was stunned for a moment, and then immediately jumped up excitedly and said incoherently.

I'm afraid that I will be eaten if I say it is later.

Later, Ying Bei learned that the strange bird was a raven, which was originally kept as a pet at home by a person with a very large family.

I don't know when it began, it found itself more and more sober, and the people who raised it often lamented that the raven was smart.

However, the dark-eyed raven has actually learned to hide, and he makes humans just think it's smarter.

In ordinary times, when human beings watch various film and television dramas, dark circles have already learned a truth, people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong.

Although sometimes they sneak out of the house while humans are not there to let out the wind and then sneak back.

But the dark-eyed raven has always kept his differences well hidden.

Until the black-eyed raven finds that its feathers are also starting to turn white little by little, it can usually hide its intelligence, but its coat color cannot be hidden.
