There was blood dripping from the mouth, and it was chewing up and down, as if it was still eating something. A long hoof could be seen in the beak that was constantly opening and closing.
This Chongming bird is as big as a hill, and its short wings behind it are constantly flapping to maintain its protruding lower abdomen.
There was a strong sense of domineering as he looked around, like a spoiled child at home.
Phew!
Lifting its fat and short neck and calling out, the Chongming Bird, which was as big as a hill, rushed downwards, and opened its sharp and sharp claws to grab the beast below that was struggling to stand up.
.
Bah!
The sound of flesh being scratched instantly appeared in their ears, and Fei's flesh and blood was immediately torn apart under the claws.
Moo...
The beast screamed in pain, its whole body lying on the ground, and did not get up for a long time.
The scholar did not know when he stood not far from the autumnal equinox, holding one hand on the tree trunk, looking solemnly at the Chongming bird that swooped down again, pecked at the beast, and then began to swallow its flesh and blood.
Phew!!!cough...cough cough...
The Chongming Bird suddenly spit out a half-digested horseshoe from its beak, whether it had eaten too fast or something.
There are no other carriages around!
Han Qiu Equinox and the scholar looked at each other instantly after seeing the horse hoof.
Go back quickly!
The scholar shook off his robe, his whole figure turned gray, and he quickly moved towards where Mr. Wei was.
The Chongming Bird raised its head, tilted its head to look at the scholar's back, shook the feathers on its neck, and continued to devour the beast beneath it that gradually stopped breathing.
He raised his hand to condense an ice arrow, and threw it towards the belly of the Chongming Bird!
Bah! Bah!
Streams of dark red blood spurted out from where the ice arrows were inserted. The Chongming Bird made a painful sound, its claws softened, and it fell to the ground, whimpering.
Han Qiubin ignored the whining Chongming bird on the ground, jumped up, and followed the scholar's footsteps back to the clearing in the woods where Mr. Wei was.
The ice arrow carried his breath and had entered the Chongming Bird's body along the blood. If something happened to Mr. Wei, he could find this beast anywhere in the world.
After whimpering for several times, the Chongming Bird turned over again, flapped its wings that did not match its size, flew up into the sky, and returned the way it came, not even leaving the corpse of the beast on the ground.
Pay attention again.
.......
The carriage frame was shattered on the ground, the coachman had long disappeared, and the scholar
He rushed to the clearing in the woods first. Looking at the mess in that place, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
"Old Guard!!"
"Old Guard!!!"
"here......"
As the scholar shouted loudly, Mr. Wei's weak voice came from the weeds not far away.
"The groom ran away, the cart was broken into pieces, and the horse was eaten by a fat bird that just ran over suddenly. Let's make do with it tonight and wait until the autumnal equinox comes back. I want to tell him that we will find a carriage and driver to come back tomorrow.
.”
Mr. Wei was helped by the scholar and walked out of the weeds. He said with a wry smile and put one hand behind his back to rub his waist.
After a while, the autumnal equinox came back. Seeing that Mr. Wei was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the firewood he brought back, lit it with a fire stick, and then turned around and went out to find water again.
"That bird doesn't eat people, it looks like it was raised by people." Mr. Wei put his hands in his sleeves, leaned against a tree, looked at the fire in front of him, and said to the scholar next to him.
"I guess so...and that size...have you seen it?" The scholar picked up a stone from the ground and threw it into the fire in front of him, causing a small cluster of sparks to splash.
, replied.
"With such a size, ordinary officials could not afford to raise them. The plague spread for several months and never subsided. It was not until Prince Qi was deposed and sent to Wubei that disasters and floods also occurred. Natural and man-made disasters...
...He didn't miss anything." Mr. Wei murmured as he scratched the ground with a branch.
"How did you meet that Chongming bird just now?" Suddenly Mr. Wei changed the topic, stopped the branch that was sliding in his hand, and asked the scholar next to him.
"First we met the Fei, and then the Chongming bird appeared and preyed on the Fei beast."
rustle......rustle
After listening to the scholar's words, Mr. Wei said nothing more and just continued to scratch on the ground.
"That bandit king... the deposed prince may not be far from us."
After saying this, Mr. Wei ignored the scholar sitting next to him, fell slightly, leaned against the tree trunk behind him, and closed his eyes.
"He is the supreme leader in this county. What does he have to do with us even though he is so far away..."
The scholar looked at Mr. Wei with some confusion and mumbled something, but his voice became softer and softer.
Mr. Wei fell asleep beside him...
...
"Prince! My Chongming Bird is injured!"
On the other side under the night sky, there was a roadside where countless fires were burning, and clusters of barracks and tents were put together in an orderly manner.
middle
In a tent surrounded and patrolled by countless soldiers, an angry voice sounded.
inside the account,
The prince was currently placing his hands on his knees, looking through a book with gusto.
Suddenly Moji's voice came from outside the tent.
Snapped!
The prince quickly stuffed the book in his hand under his buttocks, then sat upright, picked up the teacup on the table in front of him, and took a sip of tea.
With a breath, Moji, wearing a scholar's crown on his head, rushed in holding a fat pigeon that seemed to be a little bigger.
The pigeon lay listlessly on Moji's hand, tilted its head, raised its eyes and looked at the prince sitting above, gave a faint "chirp" and then turned its head.
"Where is it?" The prince tilted his butt and asked seriously.
"This!" Moji said distressedly, carefully turning over the fat pigeon in his hand and pointing to a small, undetectable hole on it.
"I was carrying an ice arrow feather just now! I pulled it out." Holding the fat pigeon in both hands, Moji carefully lifted it in front of the prince.
He stretched out one hand and grabbed the fat pigeon. Moji frowned as he looked at it, but he didn't feel like saying anything, so he just stood beside the prince worriedly.
The prince looked at the wound carefully. Then he threw the fat pigeon on the table and said, "Hey!"
"Tomorrow let this stupid pigeon keep an eye on the person who planted the aura on him. Wherever they go, we go."
"Prince! We still have to go to the fiefdom to fight!"
"It's two days too late. It's only two days too late. Anyway, I'll be demoted to a prince. If I'm demoted again, I'll be a commoner." The prince stretched lazily and said casually.
"Then...then I'll take Chongmingniao back to rest first."
Ma Ji couldn't persuade the prince. From the first day he became Chunfang's attendant, he had nothing to do with the prince. The prince wanted to play leaf cards, so he persuaded him and finally accompanied him. The prince wanted to go to the street to tease him.
Little lady, he advised, take one back with you in the end.
He's used to it.
Ma Ji took Chongmingniao away, and the prince was left alone in the tent again.
"This smell is very familiar..." The prince squinted his eyes, looked at the candlestick in front of him, and muttered silently in his heart.
Subsequently,
He took out the book from under his butt again, dipped his fingers in some saliva, and continued to read with relish.
The breeze blew in through the curtains and lifted the cover of the book.
