After the fog, I became a birdman

"Ooo! Ooo! Ooo!"

The sound of raging wind and sand came, and Qi Jiang seemed to hear Jin Jin's cry in his sleep.

He woke up slightly, closed his eyes to pay attention to whether he heard it again, at first he thought it was a dream, and wanted to continue to sleep, but suddenly heard a few faint calls, he opened his eyes abruptly, and subconsciously sat up.

Su Qing was startled awake, and opened her eyes in confusion: "What's wrong?"

"There seems to be something wrong with Jin Jin, I'll go and have a look." Qi Jiang threw off the quilt and hurried out without even having time to change his clothes.

Su Qing immediately regained his energy and felt that it was too slow to go out, so he spread his wings and flew out from the door. When he came to the door, he took out the mask and handed it to Qi Jiang who was behind him: "Brother Jiang, wear a mask."

The door opened, and a gust of wind blew in. Su Qing's wings shone slightly, and the rushing yellow sand fell outside as if encountering a wall, and was quickly blown away by the gust of wind.

The wind and sand blowing into the house were easily dispelled by Su Qing, but when they took a step out of the gate, even if Su Qing's wings were as bright as a light bulb, it would be difficult to resist such a force of heaven and earth, and they would be powerlessly crushed after taking a step. Blowing back half a step.

Qi Jiang found that he couldn't fly out, so he simply folded his wings and let out a roar, the sound waves were sent far away, warning possible intruders.

Su Qing finally remembered that there was another method, his eyes flashed, and the screams spread farther than Qi Jiang's.

Qi Jiang didn't sit still, and walked into the sandstorm one by one as soon as he finished shouting.

His foot was very stable, and after gradually getting used to the wind, he quickly picked up his speed, his voice was very blurred by the wind: "I... that's fine, you go back..."

Su Qing probably guessed what he said, but how could Su Qing let him go out alone?It is impossible for him to wait at home by himself.

Uncle Li Qi from the room ran out in a panic: "What's wrong? Something happened?"

"Well, the child in the family lives outside and was barking just now." Su Qing nodded quickly, then walked outside with difficulty, and raised her voice while walking, "Uncle Qi, don't come out."

The door was closed with a slam, and Su Qing was blown back half a step. He no longer tried to resist the wind and sand when he leaned against the door, but flew roughly along the traces of the wind. beyond the mountains.

In the wind, Jin Jin's cry became more and more clear, Su Qing could hear that he was very flustered, but there was no other sound besides that, and Jin Jin's voice seemed full of air, it didn't seem like there was any intrusion look of the person.

But why so flustered?

Qi Jiang was carrying the wind hard, and his speed was no slower than Su Qing, but he was going up and down the mountain, which caused Su Qing to enter the Jinjin Cave, and he was still on the way.

"Aoooooooooooo!"

As soon as Su Qing appeared, Jin Jin, who was shrunk at the entrance of the cave, screamed and rushed over. Such a big man shivered and crawled behind Su Qing, panicking like a baby who was in danger at birth and was seeking the protection of a mother chicken. chicks.

"what happened?"

"Aoooooooooooo!"

Jin Jin stamped his feet nervously, pointing the tip of his wings at the ground, feeling that the threat hadn't moved after Dad came in, and he wasn't relieved either.

Fearing that his father didn't understand what he meant to him, and would leave him as soon as he saw nothing had happened and put him in danger again, Jin Jin yelled very hard, as if he was facing an enemy.

Su Qing looked at the ground suspiciously, and walked around the branch nest in the cave. Seeing Jin Jin nervously pointing at the center of the cave, which is the exact center of the nest, he continued to walk up, looking at Jin Jin while walking. .

"Aoooooooooooooooooo!" Jin Jin nodded fiercely, and the tips of his wings continued to point to the middle position.

When Su Qing came to the center of the nest, seeing that Jin Jin was even more agitated, and the tips of his wings did not make any other movements, he squatted down carefully to check the nest, but found nothing unusual.

The secret threat didn't make any moves, Jin Jin walked in cautiously, stood on the edge of the nest and stomped his feet: "Aww!"

"underground?"

"Aww!"

The moment Jin Jin nodded desperately, Qi Jiang ran into the cave out of breath: "What underground?"

"You came just in time." Su Qing frowned, feeling that Jin Jin's appearance was too flustered, and she didn't dare to take it lightly, "I didn't feel anything under my feet, what about you?"

Qi Jiang took a few breaths and coughed twice from exhaustion. After hearing the words and feeling them carefully, he did not feel any strange breath.

"Aoooooooooooooooooo!" Jin Jin stomped anxiously.

"Just dig." Su Qing made a decisive decision, "Let's see what's going on."

Jin Jin nodded quickly, and Qi Jiang and the two saw it, and immediately emptied the center of the branch nest, and then one dug the hole and the other collected the stones and soil, they cooperated very tacitly.

After digging about 100 meters down, the sandstorm also stopped. As they approached, some kind of creature underground seemed to realize that it was impossible to succeed tonight, and immediately turned around and left.

As soon as it moved, the aura on its body was exposed, confirming that a thief really ran into their territory, Qi Jiang and the two had anger in their eyes.

"Chase!"

The two parents chased them out immediately, but Jinjin didn't dare to stay at home alone, and flew out of the cave in shock, heading for the safest little cliff.

Uncle Qi was anxious at home for more than two hours. When the sandstorm stopped, he hurried out, but it was pitch black outside. Even if he had night vision, all he could see was a deserted forest with no human habitation. arrive.

Aww~!

A thick and strange cry came, and a golden mutated bird like a hill flew straight down like a fighter jet. The rapid approach of the huge creature created a sense of oppression for Uncle Li Qi.

Jin Jin's aura was a bit strange, like a monster but not quite like it, Uncle Li Qi couldn't control his strength, so he didn't dare to go forward immediately.

Seeing that the mutated bird was getting closer and closer, Li Qishu pulled out his spirit sword as if he was facing an enemy, drew a sword flower, and shouted: "You evil beast, dare to attack!"

Jin Jin, who flew over in a panic, suddenly found that there was a strange man at home, and his aura was so powerful that he couldn't beat him, so he staggered in fright, and a few feathers fluttered down, and howled in fear: "Aoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo !"

dad!dad!There are still people here!

His dad didn't have time to talk to him and was chasing the intruders.

Jin Jin stopped in the air, staring nervously at Uncle Li Qi who was as tense as him below, but the latter was cunning and cunning, he could see the hesitation in Jin Jin's eyes at a glance, and immediately flew up with his sword.

Uncle Li Qi made a formula in his hand, pulled out a spare soft sword magic weapon from his waist, and flew towards Jin Jin with sharp eyes: "You beast, take your life!"

Seeing this, Jin Jin opened his mouth to breathe fire, but suddenly found that Uncle Li Qi was wearing pajamas, so he must be a friend of Dad and the vicious uncle to appear here.

Thinking of this, Jin Jin swallowed the ball of fire in his mouth, and a puff of black smoke came out of his nose, not caring at all that Uncle Li Qi was flying towards him with a sword and wanted to kill him, so he yelled obediently at Uncle Li Qi, Then he flew non-stop to the backyard and hid in his room.

Uncle Li Qi didn't expect him to dare to come over, he snorted coldly and sent out the soft sword, but Jin Jin, who was faster than him, adjusted his distance and brushed past him.

Li Qishu, who almost ran into Jin Jin, hurried after him. A few seconds later, he saw Jin Jin fall to the backyard and open the back door with ease, and then froze in place.

Jin Jin huddled into a ball when he entered, and didn't even close the door. Li Qishu blinked his eyes and didn't realize it. He flew in carefully and found that the room was abnormally large, obviously prepared for large war pets.

In other words, this golden mutated bird is Su Qing's favorite in battle.

Uncle Li Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief, put away his sword as if nothing had happened, and quietly left the room, not forgetting to close the door, and continued to wait at the edge of the cliff.

On weekdays, it didn't take Qi Jiang and the others a few minutes to fly from the outside to the house, but in fact the snow-free mountain range is so huge that you can't see the edge at first glance. Uncle Li Qi waited for a long time, but he didn't find anyone in his sight range.

"I don't know where the two children have gone."

The two children went after the monster.

The underground monster doesn't know where it came from, and the hole it dug started from nowhere. It's terribly long. Su Qing and the others have been chasing it for more than [-] minutes, but they still haven't reached the end of the passage.

The underground passage was very winding and tortuous, and the monster was running fast in it, as if digging the passage and preparing its way back at the same time.

The speed of Su Qing and the others is obviously much faster than it, but many times they wanted to fly to the front to intercept, this monster immediately changed direction, either turning or turning back and turning, there was always a way to get rid of them.

After chasing for so long, Qi Jiang was annoyed and held two knives in his hand: "Susu, if you can't block it, then don't block it. I will chase into the passage, and you will force it to move on the top."

Su Qing took out the light hunting bow and nodded calmly: "Be careful."

Qi Jiang fell to the ground with a bang, the dragon horn knife was inserted into the soil, and his wings drove him to spin, turning the dragon horn knife into a drill bit, and quickly came to the dark passage fifty meters underground amidst the mud and stones flying randomly. middle.

There was a stench in the passage, Qi Jiang took out the lantern from the Qiankun bag and ran in the passage.

On the ground, Su Qing sensed Qi Jiang's position while following the monster, and when the distance between the two sides was less than 200 meters, he shot three arrows in the sky.

shhhhhh!

Three spiritual arrows shot straight into the ground, plunging into the ground, just happened to block the monster's way forward, forcing it to turn around, but met Qi Jiang.

The underground battle quickly started. Su Qing continued to shoot arrows in the sky. Just like when he was besieged before, he felt that the spiritual arrow hit a very solid object. His spirit arrow, which has always been invincible in battle, only pierced a little and exhausted its strength. .

But there is no need to worry at all, because Qi Jiang is right below.

Roar!

The roar of the dragon came from the ground. The battle caused the underground passage to collapse. A huge hole appeared on the ground. A round-toothed worm six to seven meters thick and [-] meters long flew out from the ground. Yellow-green mucus flowed from several wounds. It flowed out, sizzling and corroding the ground, exuding a stench.

Qi Jiang leaped high from the passage, slashed upwards twice, and slashed on the round-toothed worm with a bang, sparks flew everywhere, leaving only a very shallow wound, just like other places.

The huge force knocked the whole worm into the air, as if it flew out of the ground just now, the mid-air with no point of force made the worm lose its mobility, and could only wriggle powerlessly.

Qi Jiang flew up and slashed twice from the top, the whole worm fell to the ground again, leaving a deep hole on the ground with a bang, the round-toothed worm opened its mouthparts full of fangs and screamed in pain.

Su Qing glanced around, finally found its weakness, drew the bow and shot three more arrows into the small pink circle on the neck of the scalloped worm, and the spirit arrow that passed through the neck continued to shoot into the soil.

Like squeezing juice, the yellow-green blood spurted out, the snail-toothed worm hissed, and its body twitched a few times before lying motionless in the pool of blood, and the breath on its body also quickly disappeared.

Su Qing was able to observe the qi and blood of other creatures, and found that the vitality of the round-toothed worm disappeared rapidly, but he finally took a breath, and the breath was relatively stable, so he knew that the worm was just pretending to be dead.

call out!

A new spiritual arrow shot into the neck of the snail-toothed worm, and brought out another piece of yellow-green blood. The scalloped-toothed worm opened its mouth and stood upright, screaming in pain, but soon bang again. Hit the ground.

This time, its aura completely disappeared, and its vitality completely returned to zero.

Qi Jiang jumped near the worm's neck, cut it open carefully, and took out a khaki bead the size of a fist inside with a knife.

"Where is the third-level monster here?" Su Qing flew down in confusion, took out a spirit arrow from the quiver, picked the beast pill aside and washed it with water, and then put it away.

Qi Jiang started to dissect it, but after searching for a long time, he couldn't find the worm's natal weapon.

"No natal weapon?" Su Qing was a little puzzled, "Don't all monsters have natal weapons?"

They always thought that monsters also had natal weapons, but for so long, except for the ape in Fengwai Mountain, they have not found a second monster with natal weapons.

Qi Jiang checked carefully and found that there were indeed no weapons or anything like that.

"Is it possible that the evolutionary route of each race is roughly the same? The so-called natal weapon is just a medium to strengthen a certain ability? And in every race, or every creature, there is such a medium, just Some are exposed and some are hidden."

Qi Jiang gave examples of some of the monsters they hunted and the characteristics of the monsters they encountered. Each monster has its own unique skills.

For example, the snow leopard I met before, the cold pearl in its mouth is a medium to strengthen the ability of ice, and the mace of that ape, the horn of the Yinyue Wolf King of Fengwai Mountain, these are all exposed mediums.

Another example is the biggest feature of this round-toothed worm is the defensive ability of the leather armor, even their weapons can only cause minor injuries to it.At the same time, the leather armor also endows the round-toothed worm with a strong concealment ability.

Apparently, the leather armor is the medium through which the worms hide.

When you think about it, this medium theory can explain what they found better, and it is also more comprehensive than their previous hypothetical natal weapon theory.

Su Qing nodded lightly, whistled to call Jin Jin, and then went to retrieve her spirit arrow.

Soon, Qi Jiang peeled off the entire leather armor.

The leather armor is not complete, because there are several knife wounds and many arrow wounds on it, but the leather armor is very thick and soft, which is very suitable for making utensils.

The rest of the insect flesh is white, with a strong aroma that makes people appetite, but it is covered with yellow-green blood vessels, but it is very smelly. Without the protection of the insect beetle, these insect flesh are very fragile. went in.

Seeing such worm meat, Su Qing had an inexplicable urge to eat it, and then took a few steps back with a bit of aversion in the next moment, almost vomited out by his own thought.

"This is the monster with the strongest defense ability that we have encountered so far, isn't it?" Su Qing shifted his gaze to the land below, "It seems that not all powerful monsters will go to Fengwai Mountain."

"Well, maybe there are many monsters hidden in places we don't know." Qi Jiang put away the knife, looked at Jin Jin who was flying in the distance, and looked at Su Qing with some puzzlement, "Ask Jin Jin to do it." What?"

"Although Jin Jin has not yet fully awakened, so he is not yet on the fourth step, but when he encounters a monster on the third step, he is afraid of being like that before he shows up. I feel that this should be Jin Jin's natural enemy." Su Qingyou Suo guessed, "Everything in the heaven and earth generates and restrains each other, maybe it is good for Jin Jin to eat it?"

As Su Qing thought, Jin Jin's eyes lit up as soon as he approached here, and he pounced viciously on the insect flesh. The corrosive blood inside splashed on its feathers and white smoke rose, but the eagle claws and long beak were not affected. In any case, Jin Jin didn't seem to feel uncomfortable eating insect meat.

"It seems that you guessed right." Qi Jiang narrowed his eyes slightly, "So, the round-toothed worm came here specially to find Jinjin, and Jinjin should have the blood of the golden eagle. Although it is far from Fengwai Mountain, it smells like worm flesh If it is too big, it may attract other golden eagle monsters, you stay here and guard, I will go into the passage to see where this worm's lair is."

"it is good."

As Qi Jiang thought, the pungent taste of insect meat soon attracted many eagles, eagles, and roc monsters that Su Qing had never seen before, and they all came with their families, dragging their families in the sky Eyeing.

Su Qing's different pupils lit up with red and blue lights. His aura made these monsters dare not act rashly, but the temptation of insect flesh made them reluctant to leave.

Two hours later, the two golden eagles screamed and approached quickly, and the monsters in the sky retreated to the side one after another, but they were not willing to leave, but formed an alliance.

The golden eagle couple from Fengwai Mountain came with their two children. They wanted to fly down directly, but when they saw Su Qing, the golden eagle couple hesitated.

Just like Su Qing said, as long as the blood of the king is awakened, it is easy to challenge the challenge.

In terms of realm, although he is only the third step and the golden eagle couple is the first step, but seriously, the strength of the two is actually about the same. If they really want to fight, the golden eagle couple may not be able to defeat Su. clear.

They also heard that Su Qing was extremely fast, which made the Golden Eagle couple even more hesitant.

Most of the worm meat below has been eaten by Jin Jin. After the golden eagle couple arrived, Su Qing was a little nervous and wanted to put the worm meat back into the space, but he saw that just one drop could corrode the ground into a big hole His yellow-green blood, and looking at his well-maintained, seemingly fragile hands, gave up the idea.

It's better not to touch it, if one hand is corroded, I don't know who to cry to.

Aww~ hiccup!

Jin Jin ate until his stomach became full, hiccupped non-stop, and he ate a few more mouthfuls even though he was full. The sufficient energy made his eyelids start to fight, and Su Qing couldn't help but laugh.

Qi Jiang suddenly crawled out from the underground passage. His joining broke the three-legged situation and made some mutated birds retreat.

Seeing so many mutated birds, Qi Jiang slightly raised his eyebrows, seeing that Jin Jin was almost finished eating, he said, "Let's go."

The two parents flew away with their children. Seeing this, the golden eagle couple immediately flew down to occupy the food below.

They are all about the same strength, but the golden eagle couple who don't have the blood of the king are not as powerful as Su Qing in deterring the mutated birds.

The female golden eagle took her two children to feast, while the male golden eagle hovered at low altitude to fight off the mutant birds that wanted to fish in troubled waters. It took 5 minutes for the couple to start changing shifts.

Qi Jiang took Jin Jin back to his cave, threw the sleeping child into the nest, and clapped his hands: "Let's go back first."

They tossed about for almost three hours, and it was almost dawn.

"Where is the lair of the round-toothed worm?" Su Qing asked while flying.

"In a very long underground abyss, it should be the base camp of worms. There is a lot of atmosphere in it that is not inferior to the first step of Mount Fengwai. As you said, their food is indeed relatively powerful birds and other beasts. I also eat it, and I feel that the recipe is very wide."

Su Qing landed on the small cliff and went in with Qi Jiang: "We have never seen most of the mutated birds that came tonight. It seems that there are super-large lakes in other places, and maybe there are some herds of animals there."

Uncle Li Qi, who had been worried all night in the room, heard their voices, and hurriedly opened the door and walked out. A series of questions came over: "Are you back? Are you okay? Where is the pet? Why didn't you come back with me?"

Su Qing smiled: "We're fine, Jin Jin went to sleep in his lair."

"Uncle Qi, did you see any other super-large lakes on the way to Fengcheng?" Qi Jiang blew out the candles in the lantern and put them by the door, closing the door by the way.

"A lot." Li Qishu nodded solemnly, "The number of mutated animals is beyond our imagination. Almost every super-large lake has a herd of beasts. There are even millions of monsters living near the largest lake I have ever seen. beast."

"Millions of people?" Su Qing and Qi Jiang gasped and said in unison, "Monster?"

Uncle Li Qi sighed deeply: "I couldn't believe it at the beginning, but the fact is true. The monsters around the major cities are mainly monsters that escaped from zoos or farms. After all, they are still not as wild as real wild animals. "

Uncle Li Qi told them what happened along the way.

At first they sailed along the Jade River, but when the Jade River dried up, they abandoned the boat and walked.

Later, when they woke up, they suddenly found that the cave they were in was far away from the Yuhe River, as if traveling through time.

Because of this accident, they lost their way, so they encountered many powerful monsters, and realized how terrifying the monsters that really grew up in the wild were, terrifying to their diplomatic team of more than 100 people, and finally Only 13 people survived.

Now the most powerful monsters in Fengcheng are concentrated in Fengwai Mountain, but all the mutant animals here don't add up to 40, and the number of monsters doesn't even reach [-].

But away from the city, in the real wild places, there are not only many monsters, but also powerful ones, and there are countless half-monsters.

"There are more mutated animals now, and the cubs grow faster, and the number of animals will increase in the future." Su Qing finally realized what he had been ignoring. "I even forgot about wild animals."

Qi Jiang also forgot about this, but he paid more attention to another thing in Uncle Qi's words: "So, the expansion of the land boundary does not only happen during the earthquake, if you happen to stand near the dividing line, it is possible to arrive after the expansion. a long distance away?"

"That's right." Li Qishu nodded, "It took us a lot of effort to get back to the Jade River from the gathering place of those monsters."

The sun is about to come out, and the indoor temperature has not yet risen, and there is still some time to rest, so they are going to go back to catch up on sleep after chatting for a long time.

Qi Jiang stopped by to Li Qishu's room to put some ice basins.

Seeing these ice cubes, Uncle Li thought to himself that what a fairy life it was, and was a little curious: "Where did you get the ice?"

"There is a cold pond a hundred kilometers away, I went there to get it." Qi Jiang patted the Qiankun bag on his waist with a smile, "I also want to thank Uncle Qi for bringing the Qiankun bag back, otherwise Susu and I would have to be like each other." They were packed in snakeskin bags as before."

Uncle Li Qi nodded with a smile, he didn't have it himself, he just saw it at his mother.

"By the way, give me the contents of the Qiankun bag when the time comes, and I'll take it to Zhou Yihan for you." Uncle Li Qi had already realized that they didn't really want to get in touch with people in the cultivation world, or they would have joined the cultivation department long ago.

Qi Jiang's eyes flashed brightly, and he raised his eyebrows slightly: "The Qiankun bag is empty, it seems that Mrs. Zhou wanted to give you the Qiankun bag from the very beginning, presumably she wanted something."

Li Qishu frowned, recalling the scene at that time, Zhou Yihan really seemed to want to say something, but later found out that the square seal he took out was a high-grade magic weapon, so he gave up the idea.

"I thought only Huang Lao's faction would like to drill camps instead of concentrating on cultivation. I didn't expect other monks to do the same." Uncle Li Qi was a little disappointed.

Huang Lao?

Qi Jiang's heart moved, and he asked casually, "Mr. Huang?"

"You don't know?" Li Qishu was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, it seemed normal, "It's no wonder that Susu was smart since she was a child, and she must have sensed something was wrong so she didn't tell you about Huang Lao."

"How do you say that?" Qi Jiang was a little curious.

Uncle Li Qi snorted coldly, looked up and saw Su Qing walking this way outside the door, closed his mouth hesitantly, and said with a dry smile: "It's nothing."

Su Qing came here only after hearing the word Huang Lao in the next room. Now that the conversation has come to this point, he doesn't want to miss it: "Uncle Seven, I used to be in poor health, and neither grandpa nor grandma Li Nan wanted me to worry about it. But I always have a question in my mind."

Uncle Li Qi sighed, it seemed that Su Qing really had a guess.

"I once asked my grandfather whether his sudden serious illness had something to do with Mr. Huang, but my grandfather said that he was poisoned because he was hit by a trap when he was exploring the ruins in the early years, and it had nothing to do with Mr. Huang." Su Qing With a serious expression, "But when he was dying, he didn't mention Huang Lao at all. Why?"

"This..." Li Qishu was a little distressed, "I just overheard my mother and my elder brother talking about this matter."

"So, there is indeed an inside story?" Su Qing's heart sank, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes, "Please don't lie to me, Uncle Seven."

Li Qishu opened his mouth, and seeing Su Qing's slightly murderous eyes, he knew that he already had an answer in his heart, even if he didn't know the inside story, he had murderous intent towards Huang Lao.

"That's all." Li Qishu shook his head, "Now that you are in good health, I shouldn't hide this matter from you."
