Chapter 26: The Lost Story (Part II)
"Flame Spirit Silk~" Luo Xian pinched a magic decision in his hand, only to see that the white flame that rushed to the sky suddenly turned into dozens of transparent gossamers in the middle of the way, scattered in all directions, and went towards the human-faced demon birds wandering in the air one by one.
The human-faced demon birds are larger, and they are taller than the size of ordinary women when they fall on the ground, and their wings are spread out to be comparable to a galloping horse, so they mostly glide in the air with the help of air currents, not real flight, and the speed is naturally not fast. It's just that most of the objects they hunt are ground animals that can't fly, so there is often no way to take them.
The only fear is human crossbow arrows, so they don't dare to attack the army, and even if an army comes to destroy them, it usually just abandons the nest and comes back again. Moreover, the places they choose to live are often cliffs, places that are difficult for ordinary people to climb and cannot be reached by the army.
The terrain here is dangerous, and it is close to swamps, and there are no villages for dozens of miles nearby, so it is inaccessible, only some hunters who are greedy for shortcuts will pass through the mountains, they have no natural predators here, and Chang'an is fine.
At this moment, seeing a white flame shooting out of the man's hand, all the demon birds scattered into the air.
Unexpectedly, the white flame suddenly disappeared halfway, and when I was surprised, I felt that my body was slowing down and getting heavier, and I couldn't help but look down. I didn't know when, my wings and body were wrapped around a thread of transparent silk.
The thread was very peculiar, and everywhere it passed, the flesh and blood turned gray, and gradually stiffened, and lost control.
After a few thoughts, those demon birds broke off their control of their bodies and fell from the sky one after another.
In the dull sound of puffing, many demon birds saw that they were smashed by the stubborn rocks in the mountains, as if their agile bodies on weekdays had become crispy at the moment.
The few demon birds that did not have broken bodies also had broken limbs and broken wings, lost the ability to fly, and became fish meat.
In an instant, the noisy sky was quiet, and the human-faced demon birds fell to the ground and shattered their corpses.
The transparent gossamer in the air gathered together again, turned back into the appearance of a white crow, and was retracted into Luo Xian's body.
Geralt bent down and picked up a few pieces of the demon bird's corpse to take a closer look, only to see that the flesh and blood had turned into gray and white lumps. After contemplating it slightly, he thought of Luo Xian's mention of killing a petrified chicken snake entrenched near a crow's nest.
Recalling the content of the "Demon Hunter Code", the characteristic of condensing flesh and blood into stones in front of him is the special talent of the petrified chicken snake, and it is also the effect of the wizard after making the petrified potion, and I am secretly vigilant in my heart, this visitor from the other world is mysterious, I am afraid that he has the ability to snatch biological abilities, and he must not be taken lightly.
Leaving aside Geralt, who had been thinking about everything, the most active person on the scene at the moment was Xiao Di Ling.
I saw his short body emerge from the pile of rocks in three or two, and quickly ran to the nest of the human-faced demon bird, and jumped in without hesitation.
After a while, he jumped out with his nose in one hand and a round-bellied bottle made of brass in the other.
Under the sunlight, the bottle reflected a golden light, which was particularly dazzling, no wonder the little earth spirit found it in three or two clicks.
The little earth spirit found the bottle, and it seemed that this was his goal, because of the stench of the lair, so he covered his mouth and nose and was reluctant to speak, but no one could stop the excited expression on his face. Vigorously waving the small hand holding the yellow bottle, he beckoned Luo Xian and Geralt to leave this disgusting place quickly.
When they came up, they were slow, and when they went down, they were much faster, and the three of them reached the bottom of the mountain in a short time.
With a muffled sound, the cap of the brass bottle was pulled open by the little earth spirit, and a ball of magical energy like a fire immediately erupted from the bottle.
The little earth spirit hurriedly put his nose up, sucked the energy gushing out of it vigorously, until the bottle was empty, and then casually threw the bottle aside.
Luo Xian glanced at Geralt with a puzzled look, and Geralt nodded with his hands in his arms, indicating that this was indeed the appearance of normal sealing magic when it was released.
"Whiskey!slippery!ringworm!garbage!bumblebee!surprised!hahahaha!I'm finally able to speak again!" The little earth spirit suddenly made a sound, and was still alive, and said a lot of words that people couldn't think of the meaning of, and it was probably held back for a long time.
It seems that the little brother Ling is a lively character, but after being deprived of his voice, he seems quiet.
"Eat grapes without spitting out the skins, and don't eat grapes but spitting out the skins. Johnny was excited to talk about the tongue twister for a while, and it seemed that he was really happy to be able to recover the lost voice.
"Is there enough to celebrate? The white wolf's cold voice always appears out of place, pouring cold water on reality.
"These are my favorite words. If I never be able to say something like 'lice on a lion's head' from my mouth, then my life will not be meaningful!" The little earth spirit was excited, and did not mind Gerald's cold words, "Thank you Demon Hunter, and thank you, unknown Lord Mask. I wish you a long and 100 years old. ”
"That's not a good blessing for me. The centenarian Geralt couldn't help but tease again.
"You wait a little longer and be happy, we went to great lengths to help you, and now it's your turn to help us. ”
As soon as Xiao Di Ling heard this, his face immediately fell, and after a sigh, he said, "Why do you people always like to turn such a beautiful and selfless act of kindness into an incomparably utilitarian act?"
"That's probably why humans are able to dominate the continent, while you can only live in seclusion in the mountains and forests. Geralt sneered, his actions not yet reprimanded by a small earth spirit, "Well, tell me how your voice got lost, and why did it end up in a bottle?"
"About ten days ago, I woke up one morning with the intention of learning how to call birds as usual. God, I can't make any sounds. I tried all sorts of things, but I was so anxious that I was about to break my head. Then I ran to the nearest human village, for I had overheard from a passing merchant that a new witch doctor had arrived near the village of Midkaups. I wanted to ask them about the witch's whereabouts, and I had two pheasants in return, but when the people of the village saw me, they cried out, 'Little dirty monster!' and chased me with a wooden fork, and let out hounds to bite me. ”
Gritting his teeth as Johnny described his misfortune, he asked aggrievedly, "Do I really have to look like a little dirty monster?"
"No, you're not like it at all. In the eyes of ordinary people, there may be no difference between the two, that is, people don't understand these little earth spirits, Geralt knows the character of these little guys very well, so he rarely speaks to comfort them.
"That must be the old witch's ghost, who else would have put such a curse on me?" I had no choice but to ask a few crow friends who were passing by to find my voice. However, it was hidden in the nest of the human-faced demon bird, and I could not reach it at all, and even if I could, I would not be able to defeat them, and could only be their food. Xiao Diling said aggrievedly, "Fortunately, God blessed me and let me meet you two kind people." ”
