Chapter 21: A Strange Flock of Crows
Two days later.
"Roar." [Xiaofu is hungry again! 】
Xiaofu flew in the air for two days in a row, which consumed a lot.
"The energy box is all gone, I still have a piece of jerky here, give it to you." Ji Wuliang searched the animal skin bag and handed over a piece of dried meat.
Xiao Fu glanced back at the jerky and didn't take it.
[Liang, let's eat it.] 】
"Careless, that guy Ding Chen has so many eyes, didn't he say that he could go to the Crow Forest in one day? It's been two and a half days! ”
Ji Wuliang looked around, and there was still a desolate sandy land below.
If this continues, they haven't reached the Crow Forest, and all three of them will have to die on the road.
Just as he was about to land in search of food, a pitch-black forest appeared in the distance.
"Xiaofu, look, there is the Crow Forest in front of you, hold on for a while."
Two hours later, Xiaofu landed outside the Raven Forest.
"It's so eerie, is this really inhabited by humans?" As soon as Ji Wuliang landed, he looked around.
There are a large number of tall black suzuki trees growing in the Raven Forest, and the leaves are pitch black and dense, making it difficult for sunlight to shine into the woods, and the forest is pitch black, not at all like a place where humans can live.
"Xiaofu, be careful, let's go in from above the Raven Forest!"
Xiaofu was too big to move in the Moyun Forest, and Ji Wuliang had no ability to protect himself, so he had to let Xiaofu enter the depths of the Crow Forest from the air.
"Quack!!"
As soon as he entered the area of the Crow Forest, Ji Wuliang heard a large group of iron-billed crows standing on the canopy of the Mosuzuki tree and shouting, which felt very infiltrating, but it quickly stopped.
"I hope I don't meet any Raven King or Raven Queen or something......"
Ji Wuliang stared down vigilantly, praying silently in his heart.
"Quack!!"
After flying for more than ten minutes, there was suddenly another burst of iron-billed crows.
In the Moyun Forest, you can faintly see some iron-billed jays jumping between the branches.
"Noise!"
Although he was irritable, Ji Wuliang didn't provoke them, but only reminded Xiaofu to restrain his breath.
"Ga ......"
Just as Xiaofu was about to fly away from this area, the iron-billed crows suddenly screamed collectively, and then fell straight to the ground, killing violently.
"Xiaofu, pull it up a little higher!" Ji Wuliang hurriedly said.
"Roar!!
[It's all dead, here's ...... There's dirt! 】
[Liang, let's go out, Xiaofu is not hungry! ] 】
After Xiaofu raised the flight altitude, he stopped in place, his eyes wide open, looking dumb and stupid.
"It's weird!" Ji Wuliang was also taken aback.
He couldn't think of anything that could make more than a dozen iron-billed crows die at the same time without making any movement.
Gas?
Each crow has a different physique, and it should be poisoned quickly and slowly, unless the poison is strong enough to ignore the difference in physique.
If it is said that it is the coercion of the fierce beast, Xiaofu has not been affected in any way.
"It's not a spirit animal, there must be something else."
Ji Wuliang remembered that Ding Chen had said that he had entered and exited the Divine Crow Forest three times before and after, and he had not encountered any danger, but he had not elaborated on how to enter and exit.
As long as he and Xiaofu are careful, even if they encounter danger, with Xiaofu's strong defense and flight advantage, they can evacuate in time.
So Ji Wuliang said: "Xiaofu, are you okay, let's go in a little more!" ”
"Roar~" [Hmm.] 】
Xiaofu took Ji Wuliang to fly, while shrinking his neck and constantly looking around, and even the speed increased a little.
Ji Wuliang was very curious, Xiaofu dared to go to the City Lord's Mansion to steal things by himself, he shouldn't be so timid.
Just as he was vigilant about the movements around him, an idea suddenly flashed through his mind, and Ji Wuliang hurriedly asked.
"Xiaofu, can you control the rock from attaching to your body?"
"Roar~" [Yes, but controlling the rocks will consume a lot of energy, and it's very tiring.] Xiaofu nodded, it's not that difficult.
"Really!"
Ji Wuliang suddenly became excited.
However, when he thought that he was still in the crow forest, he immediately calmed down again.
"Then we'll try it when we have time."
After flying for more than ten minutes, the endless ink clouds and trees were densely spread on the ground, wherever they went, wherever they went, they made Ji Wuliang feel like they were standing still.
"Quack Quack !!"
Suddenly, the screams of the crows were heard again.
One man and one beast were instantly on alert, staring closely at the crows.
"Again, this ......"
Before Ji Wuliang finished speaking, he saw an iron-billed crow at the front of the crow flock that was one size larger and had a white feather crown standing among the branches of the Moyun Wood.
He took a closer look and said in surprise, "Isn't that iron-billed jaw the one just now?" ”
In the last wave of the crow flock, he clearly remembered that there was also a large white-crowned crow standing on the black cloud wood, and it was also at the front of the crow flock.
"Is it the leader of the crows?"
Ji Wuliang was still guessing the identity of the white-crowned iron-billed crow, and the screams of the crows sounded again.
More than a dozen iron-billed crows fell to the ground again.
Seeing this, Ji Wuliang frowned, this crow forest was too weird.
He even had the slightest idea of going back the way he came.
Xiaofu didn't speak again this time, but his neck shrunk even shorter.
"Seventeen! The white crown is the first! Collective violent death! Ji Wuliang thought silently, his face a little ugly.
"Xiaofu, keep going, we may be stuck in a loop!"
Ji Wuliang's tone was solemn, and this unknown danger frightened him even more.
Xiaofu continued to advance into the depths of the Raven Forest.
"Sure enough!"
More than ten minutes later, Ji Wuliang saw the crows again.
When a man and a beast approached, the same scene appeared in front of him again.
Screaming!
Sudden death!
The same seventeen iron-billed jays, white-crowned iron-billed jays!
Ji Wuliang tore off a piece of animal skin and hung it on the top of a branch of the black cloud wood where the white-crowned ironbill rook stood as a marker.
"Xiaofu, let's go right this time!"
"Roar~"
More than ten minutes later.
The crow cries out, and the same hide is trampled under the feet of the white-crowned iron-billed crow, and a moment later the crow flock dies again.
"If you go on like this, you'll never get out!"
Ji Wuliang no longer hesitated, and ordered Xiaofu to fly towards the ground, and a large piece of ink cloud wood was crushed to the ground.
Once on the ground, he cautiously walked towards the flock of crows that had been killed.
I saw the iron-billed crows with their wings slightly open, and their heads twisted behind them at a strange angle, lying motionless on the ground.
"Roar~" [It stinks!] 】
Xiaofu smelled a smell of decay and tilted his head to the side.
"How could it rot so fast?" Ji Wuliang poked the white-crowned iron-billed crow with a wooden stick and wondered.
After a closer look at the surroundings, there was still nothing to be gained.
There is no special smell in the ink cloud wood forest, and the faint fishy smell of earth mixed with the heavy fragrance of deciduous rotting wood is a very common smell in the forest.
There was no movement of any spirit beasts in the forest.
The reason for the violent death of the crows shrouded Ji Wuliang like a mystery, making him puzzled and curious.
