"They are coming." The insect mother and the ice dragon could see far in the air, and they shouted in unison: "Maybe they are enemies. Do you want to take action immediately?" "No, wait until the other party comes over before making a decision. Just wait and see what happens."
When he said this, Guan Heng found that the other party was still about half a mile away from him, and then continued: "I feel that the aura of these guys is different from that of ordinary creatures. Maybe they are some kind of spirit body. Let's take a look."
"Well -嗖 关 关-" Guan Heng's words fell, and the opposite guys have accelerated. During the division, their "first -headed troops" have arrived at everyone.
Taking a closer look, it turned out to be a group of strange birds with dull eyes and rigid movements. The sounds they made from their mouths were as dull as the roars of beasts that had just woken up. Very few birds would make such sounds, so everyone was confused. Very strange.
"Hey, this is the 'Solace Bird'?!" The Wind-warming Firebird, which was chatting with the beasts next to King Jiaxiu, suddenly heard a sound. After looking up, it whispered: "Ha, it's so fresh, it's already I haven’t seen this guy in years.”
"Are you talking about the comforting birds?" At this moment, the green-eyed Zhu Xiao also heard this and couldn't help but said: "I heard that they have been extinct in the local area for a long time, how come they still appear?"
"I don't know about this." Huo He shook his head and continued: "Usually comfort birds only appear in areas with a large number of dead beasts. Maybe there is some beast cemetery nearby?"
"Hey, don't just talk to yourself, talk to us too." Ruotao came to the side at this moment and asked: "What exactly is a comfort bird?"
"The comforting bird is also called the 'funeral bird'." Hearing her question, the blue-eyed Zhu Xiao took the initiative to answer: "They usually appear next to the spirit beast that has just died, waiting for the other party to derive its soul body, and then they will The animal soul is carried to its birthplace, hence its name.”
"Why would the comforting bird do such a thing?"
"I'm not sure. It's said that this is the habit of the comforting bird family from ancient times to the present. No one can give the answer. I guess they can't even explain it themselves."
Yufeng Huohe said: "It is precisely because of the weird customs of the mourning birds that the beasts in the ruins are unwilling to touch them. Anyone who sees the mourning birds will be considered to be near death, which is very unlucky and very unlucky. "
"Hahaha, isn't this superstitious?" Guan Heng smiled slightly and said, "I'm not afraid of seeing them, because I may have seen a thousand times more death than the comforting bird."
"What I'm saying is that we have eliminated not even 10,000 but also 8,000 evil sects like the ancient blood demon clan. Who would be afraid of seeing a few strange birds?" Qian Xin shook her head and did not take the other party seriously.
“Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo of of on of the comforting birds. Everyone was chatting about the comforting birds. These guys happened to fly nearby. Suddenly, a huge comforting bird headed by them saw Guan Heng, and surprise suddenly flashed in his eyes. color.
Immediately afterwards, this guy hummed a few times in front of his companions, and then immediately flapped his wings and swooped over towards Guan Heng.
"Hey, are you going to say hello to me?" Guan Heng saw that the other party was approaching fiercely, but he didn't take it seriously at all. Ruotao next to him said: "Sir, I think this guy wants to cause trouble. Why don't I Just chop it with a knife..."
"Qiang!" As he spoke, Ruotao's thunder-swallowing blade was already three inches away from its sheath. Guan Heng waved his hand and said with a smile: "This **spirit bird doesn't seem to have murderous intent. Don't be so nervous, so as not to scare it."
"Oh, that's it." Ruotao had never doubted Guan Heng's judgment, so she nodded and put the sword back into its sheath, "Oh, wow!" The next moment, the giant comforting bird was on Guan Heng and everyone. She folded her wings in front of her, then nodded towards him.
In this way, everyone was stunned for two or three breaths without speaking. Finally, Ruotao couldn't help but asked: "Hey, Big Bird, talk to us. Do you have anything to do with us?"
Hearing this, the giant comforting bird spoke: "Woo... Wu..."
This guy seemed to have something stuck in his mouth. First he made a harsh sound, and then he stumbled and said: "Sorry... I rarely open my mouth... to talk, so I have to think about the way first, so my answer is a little bit... slow……"
"Hahaha, that's it." Guan Heng smiled and nodded, and then asked: "You are here to see me, right? What's the matter? Tell me."
"You, the death energy on your body...can, can..." The Soul-Comforting Bird said with some difficulty, but Guan Heng understood the general meaning, and he asked: "Could it be that you want it on me?" The 'breath of death'?"
"Yes, yes, this thing is of great use to our clan. I also ask my guests to reward me with it... I don't need much..."
"That's right, I seem to understand a little bit." Guan Heng analyzed at this time: "It seems that you comfort birds are also refining the pure death energy by collecting the breath of dead beasts, right?"
"Exactly, our... abilities are limited, so the effect... is too poor..."
The giant comforting bird stammered for a long time, and everyone finally understood what it meant. In other words, for many years, the comforting bird family has been collecting the auras of various dead beasts to refine the pure death aura as a reward. , they will return to each other's hometown with the souls of beasts that died in a foreign land.
"Okay, it's just a little bit of dead energy. Anyway, I have plenty here, so it doesn't hurt to give you some."
As he spoke, Guan Heng reached out and patted the sword box behind his back: "Sword Spirit, come out for a moment."
"As you command, Master." As the voice rang out, a stream of air suddenly rolled out of the sword box and landed in front of Guan Heng, transforming into a sword spirit. "Give me some death air."
"Yes." After hearing Guan Heng's words, Jumang Sword Spirit was about to call out the "spiritual wheel of life and death" to take out the death energy, but at this moment, he suddenly saw the huge comforting bird next to him, and couldn't help but "Eh" There was a sound.
Guan Heng asked casually: "What's wrong?"
"This bird is very rare. The aura in its body...how should I put it, is quite mixed."
Jumang Sword Spirit said: "According to its own situation, living things like this don't live very long, but I think its lifespan seems to be very long, so I am a little surprised."
"You...are right..." Hearing the sword spirit's words, the giant comforting bird's eyes were filled with surprise, and then he continued: "The leaders of our clan... all give up their bodies... to find new bodies for their clan. , soul body...inheritance..."
After hearing the words of the comforting bird, everyone finally understood that the lifespan of the general comforting bird is only more than a hundred years. For other living beings in the ruins, this time is really too short.
Therefore, they would come up with the idea that whenever their leader is about to expire, they would look for a younger member of the clan and let the leader's soul share his body with them.
