"In this case, let's not go back to Luzhou now to save trouble. Xiaoying, please take us directly to where the group of mutated sparrows are..." Xia Daxue said suddenly.
"Ah, I have to travel all night, and I want to find a place to sleep for a while," Xiaoying said depressedly, "Don't you guys have to sleep?"
"You are a bird, so it doesn't matter if you sleep less. As for us, you happen to have a broad back, so we just need to fly more steadily."
Xia Daxue said matter-of-factly, then she asked Shen Rui for a blanket and a pillow, put them on her body, and lay down to sleep.
The cold wind in November is still a bit cold. Although the bird has a protective layer of particles on its back, it is not airtight.
"I really want a blanket." Xiaoying muttered.
"There's nothing you can do about it. How can you fly with a blanket on your body? You're covered in bird feathers and are very warm. You don't have to worry about that."
In the midst of the bickering between one person and one bird, Shen Rui leaned on the eagle's back and read a book with his eyes closed.
What he is reading now is the latest newspapers and magazines brought back from Jihe Fort.
After staying at Liu Feihong's place for a few days, he would not waste his time in vain. When he was resting at night, he had already scanned all the books and magazines accumulated in Liu Feihong's residence into the "Game Concept", and now he was "ruminating".
The magazine is released once a week, and many small castles cannot get it in time. It often takes a month or two to collect all the weekly magazines for these weeks.
Dabao is much more convenient. They have the ability to send and receive messages in real time through high-power radios, copy them, and reissue them themselves.
They can even get local newspapers published by First-Line Castle, which are updated once a day.
Although the small castle also has such a high-power radio station for external communication, it does not have such a large manpower and technical personnel to engage in secondary distribution.
"The latest news is that the East Coast Development Team killed an eighth-level mutated reverse shark with zero casualties in history. According to reports from the ship, the mutated sea beast weighed 25 tons and had a total value of 3.75 million. Many of the materials on it were available. It is used by level 1 to level 7 physical arts practitioners, and three high-quality crystal nuclei were found in the fish’s brain. We hope that interested buyers will contact them in time.”
"There has also been good news recently from the Northern Defense Force. They successfully prevented three aberrant infiltration incidents and once again defended the human world."
"The third eighth-level powerhouse appeared, and everyone gathered to watch."
"Since the beginning of autumn, the activity of special particles has increased, and many northern fortresses may experience the strongest abnormal tide in history. Please prepare in advance."
When seeing this news, Shen Rui frowned. Behind this simple prediction is likely to be countless casualties in the future.
Xia Daxue indeed has inside information. We can know this from the fact that she urged Xiaoying to catch sparrows overnight.
It's just that the other party didn't want him to worry too much and affect his cultivation, so he didn't make it clear.
Thinking of this, Shen Rui was slightly moved.
Even for the sake of these people who care about me, I can't waste time, I have to hurry up and move forward until I can bring them shelter.
The night passed quickly. Shen Rui browsed through a large number of magazines and newspapers, and had a grasp of the current situation in Kyushu, which greatly broadened his horizons.
At dawn, Shen Rui saw a mountain range full of cold leaves appearing in front of him. There were withered and broken trees everywhere, and occasionally there were a few "chirping" birds.
He suddenly woke up and asked quickly: "Xiaoying, we set off at 10 o'clock at night. It is now around 6 o'clock in the morning. You have been flying north for more than 8 hours at a stretch. Where did you fly to?"
Even if you fly slowly at night, if you fly 500 kilometers in one hour, it will still be 4,000 kilometers in 8 hours. Going north from Province L, you must leave Kyushu, right?
"Oh, I didn't fly in a straight line. You two were sleeping the whole time, but I took a long detour to get to the XX Mountains in the North." Xiaoying said angrily.
"Don't make it so easy for people to misunderstand. In fact, I am reading a book. Forget it, what am I explaining to a bird?" Shen Rui said sarcastically, "Why did you take a detour?"
"There was a powerful guy in the middle of the road. He occupied the sky for hundreds of kilometers nearby, and no one was allowed to fly over it, so I could only go around the edge in a big circle." Xiao Xiao Yingxin said with lingering fear.
"Niu, I've only heard of road bullies before, but now there's actually air bullies."
"Yes, this Kongba is amazing. I won't mention it anymore. The place is here. Those sparrows are spending the winter in the mountains. They are very smart. During the autumn harvest, they stole your food. After stealing it, they stored it in the mountains for the winter. I feel more comfortable than before." Xiaoying said with envy.
"Well, it seems they are not kind-hearted guys either..." Shen Rui shook his head.
"No, they are much better than mice. At least they can help farmers drive away a lot of strange monsters. The nearby castles like them very much and actively give them food, but they don't want it and insist on stealing it themselves..." Xiaoying said with admiration. .
"Weird, very individual, they seem to be a group of guys with strong autonomy. They are not easy to control." Shen Rui said worriedly.
"I have no choice but to use your charm, big brother." Xiaoying spread her wings, and Xia Daxue, who was sleeping on his stomach, almost fell down, but Shen Rui quickly caught him.
"What's going on? Are there any enemies attacking?" Xia Daxue quickly took out a pistol and looked around.
"No, it's just that Xiaoying was having a good time and couldn't help but make a gesture." Shen Rui said sarcastically.
"This guy is not honest even as an airplane."
"Okay, okay, it's all my fault. Let's go down quickly. I haven't had breakfast yet." Xiaoying said depressedly.
"You are a transport plane yourself, how can you miss breakfast?" Xia Daxue directly exposed its thoughts.
"Forget it, you're helping me with something this time. Of course I'm here to treat you and we'll eat later." Shen Rui said.
Xiaoying found a clean mountain top to fall down on. The wind here was so strong that dust could not be left on the rocks. The two of them sat down on the top of the mountain.
Shen Rui looked at Xiaoying's figure, which was more than ten meters tall, and suddenly felt a little worried. Sister Daxue was still smart...
But after the words were spoken, I could only grit my teeth and give it hundreds of kilograms of the exotic animal meat I used to feed it...
"Brother, you are so generous. I have been with Lao Xia for so many years, and she has never treated me to a meal." Xiaoying smiled brightly, and started pecking at her.
"He is a rich man and I am a poor man, so there is no comparison." Xia Daxue said angrily while eating the bread and milk that Shen Rui took out.
The meat was all raw, and it was impossible for her to compete with a bird for food.
In less than half an hour, all three of them had finished their breakfast.
At this moment, before they could leave, a group of big gray sparrows flew over.
"Dad, that's the guy, I saw it coming from a long way away!" A small sparrow with a slightly yellowish beak chirped at the largest sparrow behind.
Shen Rui looked over and saw that the other person's figure was that of a normal golden eagle...
Is this still a sparrow? But the others are fine. They are only as big as two adult palms. They should be able to deal with those wasps flexibly.
"Yeah, it seems that it didn't peck it hard enough last time, and this time it dares to come to our mountain. I don't know how many claws our sparrows have!"
"What do you want to do?" Although Xiaoying is big, she shrinks her body and hides behind Shen Rui, "My eldest brother and eldest sister are all here, so don't mess around!"
"Tsk, do you think that two people here can protect you? This mountain was designated for us by humans to prevent others from entering the mountain to harass us. Do you know how much your coming will affect me? Dan’s wife?” The sparrow leader, who was as big as a golden eagle, accused him righteously.
"Mr. Sparrow, I'm here to do business with you," Shen Rui said forcefully.
"For the sake of being a human being, tell me what kind of business you want to do?" The leader of the sparrows temporarily stopped attacking Xiaoying and turned around to ask.
"I want to hire you to deal with a group of poisonous bees doing evil in this place." Shen Rui got straight to the point.
"Then how much food can you produce?" the sparrow leader said skillfully.
Hey, it seems very simple?
Shen Rui was overjoyed and immediately said: "I don't know the local market."
"Well, I see that you are a real person, not one of those liars. I like you," the leader of the sparrows said, "Well, I'll send a group of children to follow you to see how strong those poisonous bees are first, and then give them to you. A suitable price for you.”
"This is as it should be. Thank you, chief."
"It's nothing. If you hadn't just said business, but wanted to conquer us like everyone else, I would have pecked you down the mountain." The sparrow leader said straightforwardly.
"Haha, that's really lucky."
Shen Rui came up with this idea after hearing that they would rather steal food than let humans support them.
However, looking at the current situation of this sparrow leader, they should have reached a long-term employment agreement with humans. Xiaoying's intelligence is obviously lagging behind.
