What the hell is this? Why is it so fast? ”

Looking at Wang Yue, who was furious but had no choice, Shang Ji asked in a somewhat frightened voice.

Although the strange bird did not launch a substantial attack on Wang Yue, Shang Ji did not feel that this strange bird had no ability to attack.

Wang Yue's long sword struck the claws of the strange bird, and the deafening roar like gold and iron was enough to show the attack power of the strange bird. If this strange bird took the opportunity to come up to Wang Yue's head with one paw, Wang Yue would be seriously injured even if he didn't die.

In the same way, if Shang Ji is put in Wang Yue's position, the end may not be better!

"Everyone prepare, target that strange bird!"

With a wave of his hand, Shang Ji immediately gave the order to the four thousand crossbowmen, ready to shoot the strange birds in a rain of arrows.

The four thousand crossbowmen immediately drew their bows and arrows, took aim with bated breath, and waited for Shang Ji to give the final order.

"Chirp!"

The strange bird also seemed to notice the military formation here, and with a long roar, its body immediately flew up a hundred meters. Then he gave up harassing Wang Yue, and instead flew above the military formation, hovering and shouting provocatively.

The distance of 100 meters was not enough to exceed the attack range of the Starlight Strongbow and the Sunshooter, but the speed of this bird was as fast as lightning, one second it was still in the east of the military formation, and the next second it flew to the westernmost place.

Leaving a reddish afterimage in the air, what is even more excessive is that the flight path of this strange bird is completely irregular, and it is impossible to attack in a predicted way.

Seeing that Shang Ji did not give the order to attack, the name of the strange bird became more and more proud, and circled in the air a few times. With a high-pitched chirp, his wings shook, turned into a streamer and galloped eastward, disappearing from Shang Ji's sight in a blink of an eye.

"The last general is incompetent, please punish the lord!"

Wang Yue, who was full of embarrassment, turned red, came to Shang Ji with a twist, and said in a low voice.

"It's okay, this strange beast is very strange, I haven't seen it before, no wonder Mr. Wang."

Shang Ji comforted Wang Yue first, and then said: "Mr. Wang, let's go down and sort it out first, such an image is too unseemly!" ”

At this time, Wang Yue's whole body was in tatters, and his clothes were hanging on his body in the form of strips of cloth. The hair was messy, and even a faint mass of white unidentified material that appeared to be bird droppings could be seen.

"The subordinates are rude, please forgive me!" Wang Yue also realized that his image was inappropriate, so he covered his face with his sleeves and quickly retreated.

"Farmer, what's going on? The language written in Wang Yue's war report is unknown, I wonder if the peasant old man knows the inside story? ”

Seeing Wang Yue retreating, Shang Ji had a lot of questions, and he could only hope that Nong He would answer his doubts.

"Envoy, as early as a month ago, this strange bird appeared in the Hundred Herbs Garden. When it was first discovered, it was pecking at a freshly ripe spiritual rice. At first, it was very timid, and as soon as a servant came within 100 meters, it flew away. Later, when he saw that the servants in the garden of herbs could not help it, he gradually grew bolder. Stealing rare and exotic fruits is becoming more and more unscrupulous!

Later, when the old man saw that it was getting more and more excessive, he informed Mr. Wang, hoping that Mr. Wang would stop it. As a result, who would have thought that this strange bird was amazingly fast, and with Mr. Wang's skills, he was helpless against it.

It's just that at that time, the envoy was at war with the foreign barbarians, and in order not to affect the envoy's military affairs, he didn't dare to report it to the envoy. Later, this strange bird became more and more excessive, and even often teased Mr. Wang Yue, so he had to disturb the envoy! ”

"It was there a month ago?" Shang Ji was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then asked: "The farmer is well-informed, do you know where this strange bird came from?" ”

Nong He showed an apologetic look on his face, and said in a low voice: "Let the envoy be disappointed, although I have a lot of ancient peasant books, they mainly focus on agricultural planting, and I may know more about strange flowers and fruits, so I am a little powerless to deal with this strange beast!" ”

"I also consulted the male ruler before, and the old man has never seen what this is!" Finally, Nong He also specially added.

"This strange bird...... Seems to be a bit like a vermilion bird? ”

Liu Shi next to him hesitated for a moment, and said with a hesitant face.

"Vermilion?"

"Vermilion?"

As soon as Liu's words fell, there were two exclamations, the former was Shang Ji, and the latter was Nonghe. Then I heard Nong He say: "This is impossible! Although the old man is not talented, he is not so bad that he does not know the Nanli Vermilion Bird of the Four Great Rui Beasts, and Madame must not be joking. ”

was denied by Nong He, but Liu's expression became more and more determined. With a thoughtful look, he nodded solemnly and said, "It should be Nanli Suzaku!" ”

"It's not ......"

Before Nong He could finish speaking, Liu Shi waved his hand and interrupted him: "Dare to ask Mr. Nong, what does Vermilion Bird look like?" ”

"Although the old man has not seen the Vermilion Bird with his own eyes, he still knows the records of ancient books, the so-called Vermilion Bird, the elephant of the phoenix, the front and back of the deer, the head of the snake and the tail of the fish, the back of the dragon turtle, the swallow-jawed chicken beak, and the five-color preparation. Where does this strange bird look like a red bird? ”

"Yes, the farmer is old and modern, and the concubine admires him. However, does the farmer know what the Suzaku looks like when he is young? ”

"Young ...... When? Nong He suddenly froze, frowned and thought for a while, before he said, "Madame means that this strange bird is the cub of the Vermilion Bird?" ”

"Dissatisfied with the farmer, the concubine was inherited by the ancient Three Emperors Shennong because of some chance. It was recorded in the Herb of the Fire God that the Vermilion Bird cub was like a red flame, fast as lightning, and liked to eat spiritual things, just like this strange bird! ”

"I see, the old man is shallow, but he made a joke, please don't blame Mrs.!" Nong He obviously had a very good attitude towards knowledge, and immediately admitted his mistake and apologized to Liu.

"The farmer is serious, the concubine is just a chance acquaintance by chance!"

"However, this is a little wrong, isn't Suzaku one of the rumored Four Great Rui Beasts? Why did they attack humans? At this time, Shang Ji was finally able to interject a sentence and raised his doubts to the two.

As soon as the envoy said this, the old man realized that this strange bird had been wreaking havoc in the Baicao Garden for more than a month. There is no evil other than stealing spirit plants. With the strength of this strange bird, no one in the garden was its opponent, but it was not seen to harm anyone. Even to Mr. Wang, he mainly played tricks and teased, and he never really hurt Mr. Wang! ”

"According to the records of the fire god Baicaolu, the Vermilion Bird is a fire, lively and active. This alien bird is a red bird cub, slightly ...... It's a little lively, and it should be reasonable! ”

When talking about this strange bird, Liu paused slightly, and finally used the word lively to describe it.

"It is rumored that Suzaku is full of treasures, wings are the materials for making artifacts, and blood can make the top-grade elixir Nirvana Pill. Even the place where it often inhabits will gradually be infected by the rich fire attribute spiritual power, becoming a treasure land! ”

Hearing what the Liu clan said, Shang Ji's eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn't wait to say: "I'm going to give an order to all the generals to temporarily stop training, and all of them will gather in Baicao Garden, waiting for the opportunity to hunt the Vermilion Bird!" ”
