There are sparkling eyes everywhere above the forest. Until now, with the combined efforts of everyone, at least thousands of ferocious birds have been killed by the sword energy, but it seems that the number of those ferocious birds has not decreased.
Unexpectedly, there were so many ferocious beasts in the ferocious forest. Although they were not strong individually, if they were gathered together, they would be a force that no one could ignore. Lu Yunyou only sighed that he could not help, but after thinking about it, he He also felt that even if he could help, it would not have any effect on changing the current situation.
While retreating, he observed Princess Lan Rou. The light blue sword energy kept streaking towards the night sky, which looked very unique in the dim forest. Lu Yunyou clearly saw that every attack of Lan Rou could kill at least A fierce bird, but compared with others, her performance is not outstanding.
The lights and shadows of the swords above had already made him feel dazzled, but he always knew in his heart that the stronger the better, no matter what, he was very envious of the tyrannical strength displayed by those sixth-level martial arts cultivators.
"Okay, right here." When Lu Yunyou thought about when he would become a sixth-level martial artist, Wei Ran's voice suddenly sounded: "Your Highness, take the princess, little brother Lu, and Lin Hong and you four to leave first. The others stayed behind and continued to lure away the ferocious birds with me."
"Yes," after receiving Wei Ran's instructions, Lan Jing took the lead and agreed, then pulled Lan Rou and ran out of the crowd.
"Brother Lu, Brother Liu, let's go quickly," Lan Jing did not forget to remind Lu Yunyou and another martial artist who was slightly less powerful while running.
Lu Yunyou naturally wanted to leave, but he still held the luminous pearl in his hand and was responsible for providing lighting for everyone. He wanted to leave but couldn't leave.
"Throw the night pearl to me," at this moment, Wei Ran's voice came in time. After being reminded, Lu Yunyou threw the night pearl over without hesitation.
"We continue to lead the ferocious bird forward, and you go back along the original path," Wei Ran called to everyone again when Lan Jing was about to leave with a few people.
Immediately afterwards, in order to help the four people leave smoothly, the remaining people successively increased their attack power and slaughtered the vicious birds above in a larger area.
At the same time, Lu Yunyou and the others who were leaving the crowd noticed that some ferocious birds were chasing them. In desperation, Lan Jing and the others kept attacking the ferocious birds with sword energy. Soon, there were no more ferocious birds behind them. The birds are chasing.
"Let's run faster," Lan Jing quickly urged the other three after getting rid of the vicious bird's pursuit.
"Okay," knowing that the situation was urgent and there was no time to waste, the three of them all wanted to speed up their pace. However, the light in the forest was too dark, and they had to try to avoid trees during their march, making it difficult to move quickly.
While running, Lu Yunyou was thinking about how those behind him could get rid of those ferocious birds. In his opinion, those ferocious birds had already been angered by everyone and would not let Wei Ran and the others go easily. It seemed that Wei Ran and the others had no choice but to escape separately. This method is feasible, but in the end a few people will have to face attacks from more ferocious birds.
"It's too dark in the forest, be careful." While Lu Yunyou was trying to think of a way for those people, Lan Jing almost hit a tree because he was going too fast. After he avoided the danger, he kindly reminded the other three.
They had just led those ferocious birds to a location several miles away from their resting place. Now it would take time to go back. When they lured the ferocious birds away, the four of them were already very tired, and now the continuous running made the four of them even more tired. However, the current situation does not allow them to cry tired.
After some time, several people vaguely saw fire flickering in the forest ahead. Since they were returning along the original path, they all felt that the bright place was like the place where they rested.
"Why is there light there?" Continuing forward for a while, after making sure they saw it correctly, the man named Liu Hong asked directly.
"Weird!" Then Lan Jing muttered with the same puzzled expression.
Looking from a distance, the area with fire over there was very large, and it didn't look like there was only one fire. Thinking that they had only lit a fire before, several people were a little unsure.
"Did the fire we extinguished just now start again?" Immediately afterwards, Lan Rou spoke out the questions in the other three's minds.
Unfortunately, no one answered. As they ran closer and closer, they all discovered that there were several places with fire in front of them. Considering that they had only lit a pile of fire before, they had no idea where the fire came from. Very confused.
As the group got closer to that place, the scene became clearer. Indistinctly, they heard the howls of some ferocious birds. It sounded like those ferocious birds were injured.
"Everyone, slow down, let's go over there quietly." Thinking about what unusual things might happen over there, as the leader of the four, Lan Jing directly reminded the three of them after thinking about it for a while.
Under the leadership of Lan Jing, Lu Yunyou and the others slowed down, not even daring to take a breath, and cautiously approached there bit by bit.
When they were less than twenty meters away, several people were able to see clearly what was going on over there behind the tree. The fires were of different sizes and scattered in all directions. Some of the fires were still beating, accompanied by fierce birds. The screams made the burning things look like the ferocious birds themselves.
"No one is there, let's go there quickly." After careful observation, Lan Jing did not find any martial arts figures in that area. His frown gradually relaxed, and he wanted to check the specific situation closer.
"Those things on fire may be the carcasses of vicious birds," Liu Hong next to Lu Yunyou said about his discovery.
"Don't worry about what it is, let's go over and take a look first." Time was urgent, and Lan Jing just wanted to find out what was going on as soon as possible.
As a result, the four of them quickly walked over there step by step. The distance of twenty meters did not take long, but when they were still five meters away from there.
"Ah," Lan Rou, one of the four, suddenly screamed, and the sudden scream startled the other three who were nervous.
"Royal sister, what's going on?" Lan Jing, who was walking next to him, asked immediately as he didn't know what the situation was.
"I seemed to have stepped on something soft just now?" Because of fear, Lan Rou quickly ran to Lan Jing's side, holding Lan Jing's arms with both hands, whispering about the situation, but she did not dare to look at her feet.
After Lan Rou finished speaking, Lu Yunyou and others looked at the ground one after another. A black object was lying on the ground. It was neither big nor small and it was difficult to see what it was. So Lu Yunyou picked it with his sword, and then scratched it on the feathers. a feeling of.
"It's the corpse of a ferocious beast." When Lu Yunyou thought that it was the corpse of a ferocious beast, Lan Jing's voice came from the side.
"There are many more ahead," Liu Hong's voice came right after.
All of a sudden, the three of them looked ahead again. Sure enough, from their feet to the places where there were fires, there were many black objects scattered on the ground. Among them were some vicious birds that were seriously injured but not dead. They were twitching. Body.
"Strange, this shouldn't be the place where we fought those ferocious birds just now. Why are there so many corpses of ferocious birds?" After confirming that there were corpses of ferocious birds from in front of them to where the fires were, Lan Jing looked around again After observing, in the light of the fire, there were carcasses of vicious birds everywhere on the ground, scattered very scattered.
When Lan Jing was confused by what he saw, Lu Yunyou's eyes stopped on a ferocious bird ten meters away. The ferocious bird was obviously injured and not dead, but part of its body was covered with flames, and the flames grew stronger. The bigger.
Before it was burned to death by the flames, the fierce bird was seen struggling desperately, flapping its wings constantly, jumping up and down on the ground, like a beating fireball, until it let out its last whimper, and there was no more movement. .
The sound the ferocious bird made when it was struggling was exactly the same as the sound that several people heard in the distance just now, but when they got closer, the sound was clearer.
The scene looked a bit cruel, but it also made Lu Yunyou understand that those vicious birds seemed to be afraid of fire.
"Let's go over and take a look." In order to verify his guess, Lu Yunyou directly greeted the others. The other three people looked at each other. Since they didn't see any problems, they all hurriedly followed Lu Yunyou's pace.
After walking to the place where they rested just now, Lu Yunyou found that the fire they left before was indeed resurrected. Next to the fire were the charred corpses of vicious birds. The strong smell produced by the burning feathers of the vicious birds was very pungent.
Holding his nose, he picked out a burning piece of wood from the fire, and then walked towards the unburned carcass of a vicious bird next to the fire.
"Brother Lu, what are you going to do?" At the same time, after confirming that there was no one around, Lan Jing wanted to lead the horses away as soon as possible with the others. They had already been delayed for a while because they were not clear about the situation here. , now he just wants to speed up and leave.
"I want to see if those ferocious birds are afraid of fire," Lu Yunyou couldn't ignore Lan Jing and continued to walk towards the ferocious birds. Lu Yunyou said his thoughts directly.
