Chapter 61: The Mysterious Giant Falcon
Zhao Yun searched everywhere, and saw that there were corpses of people along the way, and his heart was like a knife.
Suddenly, he saw a lame old man in front of him, and he stepped forward to inquire about the news. The old man pointed to the front right and said, "Madame is carrying the child and going over there." ”
He followed the direction to a dilapidated house, and saw a disheveled and disheveled woman sitting by a dry well by a broken wall, sobbing, holding a baby in her hand, crying incessantly. There were several corpses lying around her, and it looked like they had just gone through a fierce battle.
Zhao Yun recognized that it was Mrs. Mi, and immediately dismounted and said: "Zhao Yun should die, he didn't protect his wife effectively, which caused his wife and the young master to suffer!"
When Mrs. Mi saw him coming, she said happily: "General Zhao, you are here just in time, the young master is saved!"
She handed Adou to him and said, "This is Lord Xuande's own flesh and blood, please make sure the general sends him back safely to your lord." ”
"Yes, please come with me. Zhao Yun placed Adou on his back and said.
Mrs. Mi smiled wryly and shook her head. It turned out that her leg had been badly injured and she was unable to move.
"This is..."
"I was wounded by the enemy's spear just now, but fortunately the soldiers risked their lives to save me, otherwise I would have died early. ”
"It's okay, I'll help you get on the horse. Zhao Yun reached out to help her.
"No thanks, thank you, the general can go, I'm a dying man, I'm not leaving. Mrs. Mi refused to get up.
"Madame Gan asked me to tell Madame that she is fine, and that you must protect the young master and go back safely, so please Madame hurry up and get on the horse, otherwise I won't be able to explain to them!" Zhao Yun urged.
At this time, dust was gathering in the distance, and the enemy army was coming. Mrs. Mi said, "The general should go quickly." ”
"Madame, don't embarrass me, please get on your horse quickly, the enemy army is already coming!" Zhao Yun was a little anxious.
"I'm not leaving, as long as the young master is safe and sound. Please tell my sister: Take good care of the young master, and be a sister again in the next life. Mrs. Mi resolutely refused to leave, for fear of affecting them.
Zhao Yun knelt down and said: "If Madam doesn't get on the horse, I can't afford to kneel!"
Madame Mi shook her head, suddenly turned around and jumped into the dry well.
"Madam!" Zhao Yun flew forward, but unfortunately only caught the corner of her clothes.
Mrs. Mi fell into the water. Zhao Yun hurriedly looked into the well, and there was no bottom inside, and he could only vaguely see his clothes floating on the water.
He shouted into the well a few times, but there was no response, and it is estimated that the person has sunk to the bottom of the well. He thought that if he wanted to go down the well to save people, he must let go of the young master, and if the enemy army arrived first, the young master would definitely not be able to escape; in desperation, he had to give up saving people. He was extremely sad, but he didn't think much about it, so he knocked down the earthen wall and covered the wellhead to prevent Cao Jun from scooping up the corpse.
Mi Zhu came to the Changsaka Bridge, saw Zhang Fei immediately on the bridge, and said: "General Zhang, I will escort Mrs. Gan here, General Zhao has gone to find Mrs. Mi and the young master." ”
Zhang Fei pointed to the east and said, "There is a big tree five or six miles away over there, and my eldest brother and they are there." ”
Mi Zhu and his entourage crossed the bridge and came to the big tree. Mrs. Gan finally saw her husband, dismounted and hugged Liu Bei and cried.
"Madame has suffered!" Liu Bei helped her to the side to rest.
"My lord, I failed to protect Adou, I can't stand you!" Lady Gan cried.
"It's okay madam, Zilong has already gone to find them. Madame, don't think too much, let's rest in peace. Liu Bei comforted her.
Mi Zhu's left arm was still bleeding. Zhiming tore off a piece of shirt cloth and bandaged him.
Just as everyone was resting, three giant white falcons suddenly flashed in the sky. Everyone hurriedly looked up and was amazed that there was such a huge bird in the world.
Suddenly, the giant falcons turned around and swooped down towards Liu Bei. Zhiming realized the danger and quickly rushed in front of Liu Bei and pulled out his divine sword.
The falcons let out a sky-tearing scream and pounced on their prey with ferocity.
Zhiming saw the opportunity and slashed with a sword, but missed. The falcons flew high into the air, circled for a moment, and then swooped down again.
Zhiming understood that they were coming for him, so he hurried to the open field in the distance, and the giant falcons followed.
Zhiming had heard from his master that the Falcon was the king of killers among the hundred birds, and its speed and attack power were above those of the falcon. Once they encounter prey, they will pursue mercilessly and tear the prey apart in the shortest possible time, with three attack characteristics of "fast, accurate, and ruthless". It's just that he thinks that these falcons are out of the ordinary, not like ordinary birds.
The giant falcons took turns attacking Zhiming with their sharp beaks, and it was difficult for the Excalibur to exert its power at this time. Because of the speed of the falcon, and there were more than one of them, within a while, all parts of his body had been pecked open, blood was splattered, and his clothes were in tatters.
In desperation, he created an airflow shield. The falcons took turns striking the mask, but to no avail.
Zhiming originally wanted to use the air flow waves, but in front of everyone, it was inconvenient to show his special skills, so he could only rely on ordinary moves to solve them.
Seeing that he was in danger, Liu Bei ordered someone to go over to help him. Liu Feng rushed over with a few archers.
"Old fairy, are these giant birds falcons? It stands to reason that falcons shouldn't appear in this area!" Zhiming wondered.
"This is not an ordinary falcon, it is a divine falcon, a falcon formed by the gathering of the qi of gods and humans, or the killer falcon, which is similar to the nature of the violent spirit beast, but it is just an energy body, not a real bird, but I don't know who made them. The old fairy said.
"Then what should I do with them?" Zhiming began to feel overwhelmed. They are too aggressive, and the energy of the shield is constantly decreasing.
"It's the same as with the Shadow Corps, using the method of sensing airflow. The old fairy pointed out the maze.
Zhi Mingmao suddenly opened, these falcons and shadow soldiers have the same attack principle, as long as they can sense the changes in the surrounding airflow, they can accurately judge their position.
The falcons attacked for a while, but when they saw that it was still ineffective, they paused their attacks and flew high into the air, waiting for the opportunity.
Zhiming saw that Liu Feng had brought someone over, and hurriedly let the protective shield disappear.
The falcons sensed that the shield was gone, and swooped down again. Zhiming accurately sensed its attack path through the faint change in the airflow, and quickly lowered his head and leaned over.
They swept over their heads. Zhiming quickly turned around and slashed down one, and the other two circled in the air, thinking about countermeasures.
Liu Feng ordered the archers to release their arrows, and several arrows were fired simultaneously in an instant, but unfortunately all of them were missed, and the arrows did not work on them.
One of the Falcon changed its target and took Liu Feng directly. Liu Feng panicked all of a sudden, at a loss.
Zhiming was not in a hurry, and when it was about to rush in front of Liu Cover, he used his left palm to send out a small air wave and shoot it down. The falcon struggled on the ground a few times, but did not move.
The last falcon seemed to be frightened, swirling in the sky, and did not dare to come down for a long time.
Liu Feng was stunned and didn't know what was happening, and the archers were at a loss.
Suddenly, the Falcon seemed to have become smarter, and it rushed directly towards Liu Bei.
"Oh no! Uncle Huang is in danger!" Zhiming was shocked, he was now far away from Liu Bei, and it was inconvenient for him to use his divine power.
The people around Liu Bei also realized the danger and escorted them one after another.
"Protect Uncle Huang!" Mi Zhu shouted, and several people lined up in front of Liu Bei.
The falcon came quickly, and crashed into several people in a row.
Mi Zhu couldn't see his figure clearly, and saw the people in front of him flying to both sides one by one. A white shadow came in an instant, and before he could raise his sword, he had already been knocked out and fell to the ground.
Liu Bei couldn't see the enemy, so he could only draw his sword and wave it forward, but there was no response. The falcon suddenly clasped its shoulders with its claws from behind, and plunged into the sky at a 75-degree angle to the ground. Liu Bei was caught in the air, frightened, and the double-strand sword also got out of his hands in a panic.
Seeing this, Zhiming was so anxious that he didn't have time to think about it, and flew away with a sword. Excalibur is full of energy and takes the Falcon directly.
Frightened, the Falcon immediately let go of its claws and avoided the sword. Liu Bei's body fell straight down.
Everyone rushed over and wanted to catch the lord, but unfortunately the distance was too far and it was too late. Zhiming also knew that even if he tried his best to sprint now, he couldn't compare to the speed of free fall, so he was at a loss for a while.
Seeing that Liu Bei was about to fall to the ground, in a hurry, Zhiming let out a wave of applause. Liu Bei was knocked away by palm qi at the moment when he was about to fall to the ground, and hit the soldiers who came to save him, and several people fell to the ground together.
Everyone hurriedly helped Liu Bei up. He vomited a mouthful of blood and clutched his chest, in pain.
Zhiming ran over and was relieved to see that Liu Bei was not dead. It was difficult for him to control the strength of the palm just now: if the force was too small, if he couldn't hit it, Liu Bei would fall to death, and if the force was too strong, Liu Bei would die from a heavy blow.
The Falcon had not yet stopped, and it howled loudly and shot like an arrow. Zhiming can't hesitate any longer, if he doesn't use his divine power, someone will die.
He was about to perform his work, when suddenly a lightning bolt from the sky struck the falcon, and it was instantly shattered in the air.
Zhiming knew that it was Thor who was helping him, so he nodded to the sky to show his gratitude. Suddenly, all the bodies of the Falcon set themselves on fire and turned to ashes in an instant.
"Their self-destruction method is the same as that of Storm Spirit Beasts!" Zhi Ming was extremely surprised, and suddenly realized that the maker behind the scenes was very powerful, and he could control their self-immolation remotely.
"Zhiming, we must find out about this matter and find out who is behind the scenes! All I can do at the moment is to help you recover from your wounds. ”
As soon as the old fairy finished speaking, all the wounds on Zhiming's body had healed, but his clothes had not recovered. He thanked the old fairy.
Liu Bei returned to the big tree to rest with the support of everyone. Fortunately, Zhiming's palm qi didn't hit his vital point.
Liu Feng and Zhiming remained in place. Liu Feng suddenly found that all the injuries on Zhiming's body were healed, and asked in surprise: "General Lei, are you okay? I saw you covered in blood just now, why are you all healed all of a sudden?"
Zhiming hurriedly made up a lie: "Oh, maybe you lost your eyes, it was when I cut them down, their blood splashed on me, I have already wiped them clean just now." ”
Liu Feng was puzzled. Zhiming quickly changed the topic: "Actually, you don't have to come over, I can solve it myself." ”
"Uncle Huang was afraid that you would not be able to support you alone, so he ordered me to come and help you. By the way, what happened to Uncle Huang just now? It seems that he fell to the ground under the action of an external force, and he was seriously injured. ”
"Maybe there happened to be a strong wind blowing and saved Uncle Huang's life. Due to the dual effects of gravity and wind, the emperor suffered internal injuries. "Zhiming is making it up.
Liu Feng recalled: "There was indeed a strong wind at that time, but it disappeared in an instant. ”
Zhiming smiled and prepared to find the Excalibur that had fallen nearby. Liu Feng suddenly asked again: "It's strange, when the big bird pounced on me just now, it suddenly disappeared, and then I saw it fall aside." ”
Zhiming knew that he didn't understand the qi vein, so in order to avoid extraneous branches, he said: "Its speed is too fast, you can't see it clearly." Maybe it was badly injured and collapsed before it could attack you. ”
Liu Feng's face was full of suspicion, and Zhiming also felt that this explanation was too inexplicable.
"Then what happened to the lightning just now?" Liu Feng was puzzled and continued to ask.
"I don't know, maybe it's a natural phenomenon by chance. Doesn't it happen from time to time that lightning strikes people?"
"They spontaneously combusted, what the hell is going on? What kind of birds are these, and they are so huge?" Liu Feng staggered.
"It's a falcon, but not an ordinary falcon, it's supposed to be a trained falcon, like a carrier pigeon. They are trained to be professional killers who specialize in sneaking up on enemies. They are supposed to have a special flamming substance hidden in them, which will spontaneously combust once they die. Maybe the trainers don't want us to know their secrets. I don't know the specifics, but it's okay anyway, let's go back to the lord first. Zhiming patiently explained randomly.
Liu Feng was confused, there were too many strange things today.
Zhiming retrieved the sword and returned to Liu Bei with Liu Feng. Zhiming felt that the current situation was quite unfavorable to Liu Beijun, and he must gather men and horses as soon as possible and join the reinforcements in time. He thought, if it weren't for the Excalibur in his hand, it would indeed be difficult to fight the White Tigers to the end, but the Excalibur is not omnipotent, like the situation just now, it didn't play a big role, maybe he didn't know how to use some of its functions yet? He knew in his heart that the day of the decisive battle with the core figure of the White Tigers was approaching, and he was ready for everything.
