It's almost midnight.
The two white cranes also came together. They seemed to have no interest in the crimson fruit on the tree next to them. They were standing on the edge of the pool, as if they were also waiting for the arrival of midnight!
The expression on Li Jian's face suddenly changed drastically. In his perception, something was coming upwards at an extremely fast speed from the depths of the pool!
"coming!"
When Li Jian spoke, the water in the pool had bulged up and overflowed out of the pool.
"That thing is so fast!"
Li Jian said again.
At this time, the pool was like a fountain, with a large water column rising up. The two white cranes fluttered their wings and each made a clear and long cry.
A dangerous feeling rushed upward from the ground, from the depths of the pool!
Then there is the pressure of pure power!
No one among the five people saw how the two white cranes interacted with the thing that came out of the pool. The process was very fast, and it almost ended in one meeting. In that short meeting, The five people felt that they were in the midst of some kind of pure power that they couldn't extricate themselves from. When that power burst out, there was no ear-piercing whistling sound or the roar of rocks collapsing, but it suddenly made the five people's eyes black. There was silence in my ears, it was difficult to breathe, I couldn't even move a finger, I just felt like my whole body was falling rapidly without any strength!
When this situation disappeared, the sound of water came roaring, and then they could see things clearly, but... it was over!
A white crane roared again at the churning pool water, seemingly dissatisfied that the guy in the water had escaped like this.
The other white crane used its long beak to hold something like a severed limb or a tentacle. The thing was still twisting. This should be the trophy of the two white cranes.
Then, the white crane with something in its mouth turned around and looked at the valley full of water, then spread its wings and jumped up and flew away.
The other one looked again at the hole where Qian Chao and others were hiding, then spread its wings and flew away to chase its companions.
"Is it over? It's too fast, I didn't even see it!" Lu Pingchuan said. He understood what happened just now. It was a battle between two huge forces that he could never match. Of course, he couldn't participate. Among them, he was too close and had to be affected. He did not regret that he did not have that kind of power. After all, the future was long. It was a pity that he did not see such a battle with his own eyes.
"I..." Li Jian said with some difficulty, "I sensed some, but not all. When they fought, my senses were suppressed, but I still barely sensed some, and I..."
Having said this, Li Jian looked at his companions with bright eyes and an excited smile.
“Benefited a lot!”
Two white cranes with two long beaks were fighting against enemies side by side, and Li Jian was holding two green bamboo spiritual swords. It seemed that the fight between the two white cranes had greatly inspired his swordsmanship!
"Congratulations, Brother Li!"
Being able to see it naturally brings rewards. Among the five people, only Li Jian has not seen it, but only vaguely sensed the scene. To make Li Jian, who is usually serious and unsmiling, like this, it seems that the reward must be not small!
"Is the crimson fruit ripe?" Yanxuan accidentally glanced outside and immediately reminded several companions.
It was just after Zi Shi.
Sure enough, clusters of tightly packed small fruits on the tree glowed red one by one, which was really attractive in the night, and the sweet smell became more intense. At this time, It took five people to discover that the red light originally floating in the valley was gradually fading away.
"We kept making trouble until midnight, and finally we're here. It's not easy. Hurry, everyone, go quickly. Don't wait for a while before it's too late."
Tang Ping said anxiously.
"What? Will something else happen?"
Yanxuan panicked when he heard that. Such a fierce fight between white cranes was over, what else could happen?
Others such as Qian Chao and Li Jian also thought the same way, secretly wondering after this night of tossing, could there be something more powerful coming?
After that, you will definitely not be able to come to Hongxia Valley again!
"Will you find out soon? In case of accidents, we can pick it as soon as possible so we can rest assured!"
The five people flew out of the cave. Now the valley was quiet. The previous clutter disappeared when the white crane arrived. Now the white crane also flew away, leaving only silence here.
This time, Tang Ping didn't let Li Jian or Lu Pingchuan be on guard. The five of them started working together and hurriedly picked the attractive red fruits from the trees.
In order to prevent the loss of the spiritual energy of the picked red heart fruits, Tang Ping also gave everyone a special bag. As long as the red heart fruits are placed in this bag, they can keep the appearance of when they were picked.
Of course, when picking, Lu Pingchuan couldn't help but stuff one in his mouth. His eyes lit up immediately. The taste was so sweet that he had never tasted it before, but he thought that these things were used to make good wine. It’s just for practice, that’s all.
As expected, Tang Ping was right!
When I had picked at most half of it, suddenly there were bursts of whistling sounds from far away in the valley!
That was the direction from which the five of them first entered the Hongxia Valley. The red light was already very dim. Several people looked over there with greatly changed expressions, and saw a black tide rushing towards them. Just like this underground river that had been dry for who knows how many years suddenly surged with raging water, with the arrival of the black tide, the dim red light that had been floating in the place completely disappeared. Seeing the red light getting shorter and shorter.
Tang Ping sighed, reluctantly picked another bunch of crimson fruits, and then shouted:
"Quickly, go back to the hole. Quickly, don't pick it, otherwise it will be too late!"
Although they were reluctant to leave, the momentum of the black tide was too shocking. Each of the five people grabbed the bags in their hands and fled back in a hurry.
Almost as soon as they entered the cave, the roar of the black tide swept around the pool.
Screams, slaps, screams, all kinds of sounds mixed together, poured into people's ears. Although the power was not strong and there was no sense of oppression, the five people also felt itchy in their ears. Looking out from the cave, the black tide was hovering near the pool, like a black hurricane, but the hurricane was caused by the flapping of the wings of countless birds.
That kind of bird is not big, just as big as a pigeon, with green feathers all over its body. It's just that there are too many of them, and they fly too closely together and fly very fast, so they look like a swarm in the valley at night. Black tide general. Now they are circling around the pool, forming a spiral shape. However, this three-way intersection is not very wide, so many birds will fly upwards, but within this spiral, they are like a Hurricane stocks generally get higher and higher.
Although the sound is astonishing, the highest grade among these birds is also the top grade, so the five of them are hiding in the hidden spirit formation without having to worry about being discovered.
Due to the obstruction of the birds, the tree growing on the cranberry fruit could no longer be seen from inside the cave. Tang Ping sighed, knowing that once the birds left, the tree would definitely be empty. She felt it was a pity. It would be a beautiful thing if they could all be picked off.
"My darling, there are so many birds that I can't stop them. It's over. It's a waste. There are still a lot of fruits on the tree!" Lu Pingchuan said regretfully, and then he couldn't help but reach into the bag to touch Jiang Xin. As a result, Tang Ping snatched it away, and she laughed awkwardly.
Yanxuan looked outside. She was startled by the momentum of the flock of birds arriving and asked, "What kind of bird is that?"
Tang Ping smiled and said: "Don't worry, Sister Yan, I will tell you after reading the rest, otherwise it will be boring!"
The noisy waves gradually moved higher, revealing the tree that had been swept away by them. It was pretty good, the branches and leaves of that tree were still there, but the red-glowing crimson fruits on the tree were gone. .
"Sure enough, it's gone, alas!" Qian Chao also felt it was a pity. Only then did he realize that he still had a bag of crimson fruits in his hand, and handed it to Tang Ping.
Then, the sound that seemed to have gone away came again, but this time it came not from another direction, but from high down!
The sound of "puff, plop, plop" came, and it could be distinguished at first, but soon it became loud and loud, and in an instant, the pool was boiling again.
It was those birds!
They hovered high in the sky, and after accumulating momentum, they swooped down quickly and plunged almost vertically into the pool, causing a splash of water. With the little remaining red light from other directions in the valley, the cave inside Several people watched helplessly as countless birds rushed straight into the pool of water without any hesitation. The water splashed and the water stirred up had no time to rise before being crushed by the bodies of the seemingly endless birds above. Go down.
"this……"
Except for Tang Ping, the other four people looked at it blankly. No one had ever seen such a scene before, and they couldn't figure out why such a large flock of birds was acting like this!
Tang Ping thought of something, looked at the look on Li Jian's face, and knew what he would find, so she smiled and said:
"Brother Li, if you find anything, don't say anything yet and let me sell this out!"
Li Jian nodded in disbelief.
The other three looked at Tang Ping inexplicably, but after all, the scene outside was too shocking, so they ignored it for the time being.
Until the valley was completely shrouded in darkness again, the sound of boiling water continued to be heard.
Lu Pingchuan asked loudly:
"Sister Tang, we just picked some fruits and left half of them for them. Why are these birds so angry that they will dive into the water and commit suicide if they lose something?"
At this time, outside the cave, the sound of water was still noisy, as if the entire huge flock of birds was about to dive into the water.
Qian Chao used a talisman to fill the cave with soft yellow light.
Tang Ping said with a smile:
"That kind of bird is called a grain-breathing bird. When the grain-breathing bird enters the water, it becomes a fish and when it comes out of the water, it becomes a bird. They are not committing suicide. They are returning to the sea from underground along the waterway!"
"What……"
"ah?"
"And there are such strange birds!"
"It's true," Li Jian said, "If you don't see it with your own eyes, you won't believe it. I can feel that after the birds enter the water, they fly faster than they fly in the sky. They dive straight down, and then I don’t know where to go.”
Seeing that several of his companions were still looking at him with disbelief after hearing this, Tang Ping smiled again and said:
"Really, if you don't believe me, let's take a look later. Not to mention the birds in the pool, I'm afraid there won't even be half a feather."
After a while, the sound of birds entering the water outside slowed down.
After the last Grain Breathing Bird fell into the water with a "plop", the entire valley became completely silent.
"Oh my God!" Yanxuan said, "There are so many wonderful things in this world! I never dared to think that there are birds that can turn into fish."
Qian Chao said: "So it seems that what happened about Kunpeng is also true?"
Tang Ping said: "Kunpeng? The things described in worldly articles are mostly speculative, but there are indeed spiritual beasts like that, but I don't know if there is one as big as that?"
Li Jian leaned against the cave wall behind him and said with some expectation: "If we can go further in the future, we may be able to see even more strange things."
Lu Pingchuan asked: "Sister Tang, is it a bird or a fish?"
"When it enters the water, it becomes like a fish; when it comes out of the water, it becomes a bird."
Tang Ping replied, but she didn't know what Lu Pingchuan was really thinking. What he was thinking about was whether the bird would taste like fish or bird after it was roasted...
At this time, the bags in everyone's hands had been handed over to Tang Ping. Tang Ping looked inside, then took out ten crimson fruits, two for each person, and said:
"Come on, we are finally done tonight. Let's try this crimson fruit. Although eating it like this is not very beneficial to practice, the taste of crimson fruit is a rare delicacy in the world. We have been waiting for it for half a night. It’s better to know what it tastes like. Humph, Brother Lu, you ate it secretly when you were picking the fruit, right?”
"hey-hey"
When the crimson fruit entered their mouth, several people were intoxicated by the wonderful sweet taste.
"This whole night of hard work is worth it if you eat this fruit!"
