It was a demon that was not in the disguised diagram of Buddhism's hell, a monster that had never appeared in the countless nightmares of living beings.

A huge bird, with a shrunken neck and shoulders, bare above the chest, and countless black spots scattered on the layers of folded skin, only five long crimson feathers grew on the top of the head, like the tassels on the general's helmet, and the long iron-gray beak resembled two steel knives that opened and closed up and down, with a pattern like rust spots.

His eyes were blood-red, like burning rubies.

The feathers on the giant bird's body are not very many, sparse, with a lock, sticking to the body, which makes it look like a high-spirited soup chicken, only on the two wings, the feathers are rich, and a row of long feathers like swords are erected at the tips.

The chicks grew up, and apart from their incredible bodies, they did not look like their proud and upright parents, but like ugly old men in tattered black robes, with fierce eyes and a crazy heart.

It stretched its wings and stood on the edge of a cliff like a wall, casting shadows that almost completely enveloped the three humans.

It was hungry, and had not had food from the sky for many days, and at last it smelled a familiar smell, so it desperately clung to the trees and rocks on the cliff and climbed up, - it could not fly yet.

The three of them were so shocked that they couldn't speak, Gu Shenwei couldn't imagine that he fed the corpse of the killer apprentice with such a monster.

Ignoring the three living people, the red-topped roc paused on the edge of the cliff for a while, and ran to the boulder in two steps, where the corpse that Gu Shen had resisted was thrown there. The first two mouthfuls pecked out the eyeballs, which was its favorite, and the third bite penetrated the chest, swallowing the heart, and in a moment, the red-capped roc had already eaten half of the corpse.

The three living people next to them remained motionless, as if frozen by an evil spell.

Shangguan Yuxing was the closest to the red-topped Dapeng, and from the moment it first pecked out the corpse's eyeballs, his legs were so frightened that his legs were weak, and at the same time he was so disgusted that he couldn't bear it anymore, knelt on the ground and vomited, then raised his head and said tremblingly: "What the hell is this? Clouded leopard, kill it." ”

"Don't mess with it. ”

Gu Shenwei reminded in a low voice that he had seen the scene of those two Dapeng birds killing many masters of Jinpeng Castle, although the red-topped Dapeng was only a half-grown chick, it seemed that it would not be much weaker than his parents.

Gu Shenwei's persuasion did not work, the clouded leopard seemed to feel both ashamed and annoyed by the panic he had just had, and in order to save face, he carried a narrow knife, ran two steps, jumped high, and slashed at the neck of the red-capped Dapeng.

Gu Shenwei also jumped up and went to block the clouded leopard's knife, he wanted to protect the ugly Dapeng bird, and he didn't want the clouded leopard to die in vain.

The red-capped roc was eating happily, but it was a natural killer, and as soon as the human attack came behind it, it slammed to its feet, turned to face the enemy, and its outstretched wings brought a gust of wind to blow Shangguan Yuxing to the ground, and pecked at the daring offender with its beak like lightning.

The clouded leopard threw away the knife and fell from the air, as soon as its body touched the ground, it bounced up, covered its eyes with both hands, twisted its body frantically, opened its mouth, made a terrible ho-ho sound from its mouth, lost its way in extreme pain, did not take a few steps, tripped over the chain on the edge of the cliff, turned over and fell into the abyss.

He's a mute.

Gu Shenwei fell in time and retreated to the wall, not sure that the chicks still knew him.

Shangguan Yuxing was already paralyzed with fright, using his hands and feet together, trembling and crawling towards the exit, barely noticing the fate of the clouded leopard.

Tasting the eyes of a living person as delicious and delicious, the red-topped Dapeng had a great appetite, jumped up more than a foot high, and landed on the body of a cowardly human, his claws penetrated deep into his skin, and his beak pecked twice, Shangguan Yuxing didn't say a word, but he couldn't bear it, as early as when the big bird jumped in the air, he was already scared to death.

There was only one human left, and the red-capped Dapeng turned around and forced Gu Shenwei under the corner of the wall step by step, and the long feathers on his wings stood up in a threatening manner.

Gu Shenwei could shout for help, attracting the killers of Dongbao to besiege the flightless bird, but he didn't speak, but hoped that it would recognize himself again, so he threw down the narrow knife and slowly walked towards it.

The red-capped roc was a little puzzled, it didn't remember the appearance of this human, but it smelled a familiar smell, which stayed in the memory of its first eggshell, and also lingered on every piece of food that fell from the sky.

It stopped, slowly folded its wings, tilted its head, and surveyed the strange creature as it had when they first met in the nest.

Gu Shenwei stretched out his hand and touched the scattered feathers on its chest, the red-capped Dapeng shrank vigilantly, its wings opened slightly, but the human touch awakened more memories, it let down its guard, and a sound similar to a human hiccup came out of its throat.

Gu Shenwei was so excited that he burst into tears, as if he had found another family member, and hugged the red-topped Dapeng tightly with open arms.

The red-capped roc was not used to this expression, and at first he was a little resistant, and then a little reluctantly accepted the human, and even patted him lightly with his wings, and pecked him on the shoulder with his beak.

His shoulder hurt very much, Gu Shenwei let go of the big bird, and laughed again, "You are still so ugly, when can you be as powerful as your parents?"

The red-capped roc shook his head, and several top feathers swayed with it.

Gu Shenwei suddenly woke up, the situation of the red-topped Dapeng was very dangerous, once the news leaked, the Dubu King would catch it no matter what, even if he sent someone to hang down the cliff.

"Go, go. ”

Gu Shenwei pushed the red-topped Dapeng and urged anxiously.

The big bird obviously couldn't understand the human behavior, it was still immersed in the joy of reunion, and its stomach was not fully fed, and it didn't want to leave just like that.

"You have to learn to fly, go down there in search of food, don't come up again, never. ”

Gu Shenwei pushed the red-topped Dapeng to the edge of the cliff and helped it spread its wings, "Go, the wind is holding you, you will fly, think about your parents, fly, don't eat the dead anymore, go peck the fresh eyes of the wild wolf, that is your favorite food, stay away from humans, don't get close to the stone castle again, spread your wings, fly." ”

The red-capped roc seemed to understand it, and wanted to bypass the familiar human, and there was food it hadn't finished eating behind it.

Gu Shenwei used all his strength to push, although the red-topped Dapeng was born ugly, but the ugliest thing in the world was the stone castle behind him, and he would never allow the only relatives he cared about to be hurt again.

The red-topped roc fell, sliding down the rocks on the cliff wall.

Gu Shenwei knelt on the ground, listened nervously, and prayed to the unknown divine will in his heart not to let the Dapeng bird not fly, and not to let the noise attract the killers in the fort.

After a waiting that seemed to never end, a gust of wind suddenly blew in his face, blowing Gu Shenwei unsteadily on his knees, and then a large black cloud broke through the sky, causing the clouds and mist to disperse, and made a circle in front of the human race, and the black cloud staggered and fell, and there was no trace of it.

Gu Shenwei sat on the ground, let out a long breath, and then found himself in a dangerous situation, a killer apprentice with strong martial arts fell off the cliff and died, and another son of the Shangguan family was lying on the edge of the cliff, how could he explain all this on the premise of protecting the fledglings?

The top priority was to destroy the corpse, and he stood up and grabbed Shangguan Yuxing's feet, intending to throw him off the cliff.

"Need help?"

Gu Shen looked up and saw a lotus girl with an expressionless face.

There were two narrow knives nearby, neither of which were within reach, and Gu Shenwei froze for a while.

"Take off his clothes. ”

"What?"

Gu Shenwei didn't understand what the lotus girl meant, and he couldn't even figure out whether she was friend or foe, this unsmiling girl always hid it deeply.

"If you throw him down like this, everyone will suspect you, and there is no time, take off his clothes. ”

The lotus girl did seem to want to help, Gu Shenwei didn't have time to think too much, and took off Shangguan Yuxing's clothes three times and five by two.

"Don't get bloody, and take off the clothes of another corpse. ”

The lotus girl turned away and continued to give orders, speaking as if her master were treating a slave.

Gu Shenwei had already understood her intentions, and immediately went to take off the clothes of the corpse he resisted, his shirt was stained with too much blood, so he could only take off his pants.

Gu Shenwei got busy, first threw the two sleek corpses off the cliff, folded a set of half-clothes, put them under the boulder, and then found a broom stored here, cleaned the ground as much as possible, and covered the blood stains that could not be removed with dust to make it look a little old.

The apprentices were all dressed the same, and some of Shangguan Yuxing's trinkets could prove his identity.

After a little arrangement, the scene looks a bit like two men who are doing something but accidentally fell off a cliff, as for how many people can be fooled, it depends on how much Shangguan Yuxing is valued in the fort, if Jinpeng Fort is bent on finding out the truth, this little trick will not be blinded for long.

Even so, Gu Shenwei was very grateful for the help of the Dutch girl, which at least bought him a little time.

When Gu Shenwei faked the scene, the lotus girl kept her back to him, and then turned around, "Go back and ask your master to help dredge it, the Alchemy Academy won't care too much about these two people." ”

Gu Shenwei wanted to say "thank you", but felt that something was wrong, "You are also following me?"

The lotus girl said "two people", definitely not including the corpse of Huan Nu Kanglai, since she knew that the clouded leopard that had fallen off the cliff, she naturally peeked at it for a long time, and it was likely that she also found the red-topped Dapeng.

"I have a test today, and now everyone is like you, throwing corpses from the cliff to and from the cliff by themselves. ”

The Lotus Girl's explanation seemed to be impeccable, the Cliff of the Dead was very close to the boulder cliff, and the chicks made such a big noise, and it was normal to hear the sound and come to check, but ...... Gu Shenwei didn't understand why he had to guard against her, the two had no grudges and no hatred, they were both pawns controlled by Xue Niang, and now they are facing the fate of falling into the devil and dying within three years, so they should trust each other.

"Thank you. Gu Shenwei finally said these three words.

The Lotus Girl didn't care about this, there was still no expression on her face, Gu Shenwei couldn't help but think again that the Lotus Girl's expression was becoming more and more like the dead Snow Lady, if this layer of disguise was removed, she would be a rare beauty.

"Thank you for that, but when are you going to tell me that you've found a cure for going mad?"

The Dutch girl's voice was still flat, and Gu Shenwei was surprised.
