Chapter 45: Out of the Mountain
But just like just now, such a sonic skill that didn't hit the body couldn't fundamentally hurt Tianjihong. The real reason why the Rabbit King did this was that Tian Jihong, who had stopped being dizzy at this time, had just woken up from his hesitation, but he was horrified to find that at the end of his vision, there was a group of rabbits and rats that were still more than two or three minutes away, and at this time, it seemed that he had suddenly gone crazy, and his speed suddenly increased to a terrifying level.
The rat tide, which was already pushing forward without fear of death, seemed to have rioted under the stimulus of sound waves, and even ignored the obstacles of the rocks around them. The swarm of rats that suddenly rolled like wheels in the rear rolled directly over the ground in front of them, and despite the scarlet corpses left between the dirt behind them, a brown wall was formed between the rocky slopes. At this time, the rat swarm looked exactly like the overwhelming wave of the tsunami, and rushed towards the Tianji Hung that was close in front of them.
And under such a violent way of advancement, before Tianji Hongdu could recover from the shock, he found that the rat tide in front of him was approaching less than 100 meters in front of him, and he could even see the rabbit rat squirming desperately forward in the wave, and his eyes exuded a strange blood red like a drop of blood.
At this time, he didn't have time to care about the life or death of the Rabbit King next to him, and turned around and prepared to run for his life in the dense forest behind him. You must know that the speed of the rat tide that has suddenly accelerated has surpassed itself, and if you don't escape in time at this time, you will be swallowed by the brown wall behind you that is completely crazy in less than a breath interval; Even if he started in a hurry at this moment, when he thought that there was still a long mountain road of nearly ten miles ahead, Tian Jihong was already prepared for the worst plan to fight the rat tide head-on before leaving the mountain, and he knew that he might not have time to get out of the woods smoothly before the latter caught up with him.
However, just when he turned his head and just ran out of the next two steps, Tianjihong faintly felt something strange behind him. At this time, the shadow at the bottom of his feet was suddenly covered by a huge black shadow rising from behind, and at this time, the sky above his head, which was still bright, became gloomy for a moment, and even the slowly westward sunset on his side seemed to be obscured by this inexplicable figure in the air. Tian Jihong, who didn't have time to look back at the beginning, thought that the rat tide in the sky had covered up the sun, and was about to prepare to fight to the death with the approaching rat group, but there was a cry in the air that was completely different from that of the rabbit rat king just now.
Tianjihong, who looked up at the sky, only realized at this moment that the figure dancing extremely fast in the sky was a big bird with a wingspan of four zhang wide. The fiery red bird was twice as large as the salamander, and its body was bright red without a single feather, and even its three-foot-long beak was bright red, and it looked like a perfect creature made by heaven and earth. At this time, this fierce bird is soaring in the air more than ten meters high, constantly emitting a crisp long cry; Every time it flapped its wings into the air, it flickered under the vibration of its wings, and small hurricanes hit the surface.
The fierce bird didn't seem to pay attention to the tiny Tianjihong at all at this time, but continued to hover over the rat swarm that was rolling like a wave. I don't know if the rabbits and rats all over the mountains angered the former, but I saw that the big bird in mid-air suddenly stopped, as if standing upright in mid-air, flapping its wings with its claws towards the ground, and staying firmly above the crest of the wave piled up by the rat tide.
A flash of anger flashed in its round eyes, and a pillar of fire with a thickness of two meters suddenly erupted from its open beak, and the terrifying heat wave immediately spread, distorting the surrounding space. Suddenly, the rain of fire that fell from the sky caught the advancing rat tide by surprise, and countless brown figures were swallowed up by this sea of fire, and there were not even ashes left.
Obviously, the big bird released no ordinary flames, not to mention the fragile rat swarm, and even the rocks in the ground were melted in an instant. In less than half a minute, the rocky area where Tianjihong had just fought with the Rabbit Rat King had been swept away by the flames into a scorching red clearing, and the daunting heat in the middle of it isolated the unwilling rat tide behind. No matter how fierce this raging group of rabbits and rats was after being brainwashed, but at this moment, in the face of the forbidden area of death with rising flames in front of them, its survival instinct still made the rabbits and rats behind them slow down, looking at the rolling sea of fire in front of them and not daring to take half a step.
But the shadow in the sky had no intention of stopping there. Looking at the rabbit rats that were still mostly hovering outside the flame area, the former let out another cry and changed his position again and soared towards the top of the rat colony. This time, the big bird's body suddenly burst into a sky-high momentum, and thousands of bright feathers on its body actually broke away from its body in the blink of an eye, and shot towards the rats below like sharp arrows. The flying feathers covered almost the entire rocky area, and under the powerful impact, the rabbit rats were pierced by their wings after being hit, and the rat wall that was several feet high before it crumbled like a collapsed roof in an instant, leaving only a blood-stained corpse on the surface.
And that's just the beginning. I saw that the death arrow feather that was deeply embedded in the soil at this time, after just taking thousands of lives, was urged by the fierce bird in the sky, and turned around and flew straight along the same path in the direction of the big bird in mid-air at almost the same speed when it landed.
When the thousands of flying feathers were reembedded in the latter's body, the big bird, which had looked a little bald after the feathers fell off, regained its previous glory, and even the stunned Tianjihong could hardly notice that it was different from the beginning. If it weren't for the constant dripping of blood from between the feathers, it would be hard for anyone to imagine that the feathers that came and went freely just now had been growing around this fierce bird.
In the next few minutes, the same thing happened several times in succession, and under the strong attack of the big birds, the few rabbits and rats left in the rocky area had already retreated, and began to flee in groups in the direction of the distant grassland; For the rats, the dying Rabbit Rat King not far away was no longer in care at this time, and the distance in front of them, which was only more than ten meters apart, was the difference between life and death in their eyes.
After witnessing this almost one-sided massacre, Tian Jihong, who was standing on the side, was shocked and doubted one after another. At this time, of course, he understood that the fiery red spirit bird in the wings of the sky had a strength far beyond his own, and he was afraid that even ordinary monks could not compete with it, and the rat tide that made his scalp tingle not even have room to resist in front of this spirit bird, so it was already swept away.
And what made Tian Jihong wonder was why such a terrifying existence appeared on the periphery of this mountain range? And the most important thing is that after the big bird dispersed all the rats on the rocky slope, it missed the area where it was staying. You must know that with the speed of Tianjihong, if the other party has murderous intentions, it is impossible for him to escape from the hands of this fierce bird. The other party's deliberate behavior of treating himself as nothing really made Tianjihong a little unpredictable.
Looking at the red dots that continued to chase the remaining rats in the sky, Tian Jihong finally fell on the rock at his feet out of breath. The various crises he encountered in this small half a day were really beyond his ability to bear. Until now, seeing the threat behind him disappear at the end of his vision, Tian Jihong finally sat down on the side of the road with relief, and simply dealt with the injuries in the battle just now.
Fortunately, this day's efforts were not in vain, and after nearly an hour of hiding, chasing and fighting, it was finally time to harvest. Needless to say, the elixir he brought out from the snake turtle's lair at the risk of death, at this time, Tian Jihong set his eyes on the rabbit and rat king who fell to the ground next to him and did not wake up. You must know that such a living giant beast that is two or three times the size of its own physique, although it has not yet evolved to the level of a spirit beast, and the demon core has not yet formed in its body, but the fur, flesh and blood around its body, and even the natal spells inherited in the bloodline, can still be worth a lot of silver taels when sold in the outside market.
Just now, Tian Jihong was still struggling with whether to end his life ruthlessly, but now he has no worries and has enough time to carry this big guy out of the mountain completely. But before he could do that, he had to make sure that the Rat King wouldn't attack him halfway, a few minutes ago because of his relent, so that this cunning guy found an opportunity to manipulate the rat swarm through sound waves, and almost put himself in prison, this time he couldn't say anything to let this happen again.
Tian Jihong, who had already learned the previous lesson, dragged the Rabbit Rat King to the woods not far away, and then found a large number of dead vines to use as ropes, tying up the huge Rabbit Rat King with five flowers, especially using a few of the thickest vines to firmly bind his upturned beak and limbs. In this way, even if the other party still has the strength to break free, it will inevitably take a lot of time and make a lot of movement in the process of struggling, which is enough to deal with the situation that may occur. In the end, Tian Jihong found a huge hollow dead wood and cut it in half, threw the body of the Rabbit Rat King on the half of the dead wood used as a plank to fix it, and then easily pulled the rope fixed on the plank and headed home.
