Chapter 314: Zhunti Bird
Shen Cheng and his companions were lucky. After almost a whole day of heading in one direction, they saw the forest that Shen Jufeng described.
The direction was just slightly off, and the forest still appeared on their left side. It was easy to find because it was so different from the surrounding trees. After knowing the correct direction, everyone immediately turned around and headed towards the forest.
After walking for a while, they found the mark left by Shen Jufeng, and they followed the mark.
After learning that his uncle had found the forest and the mark, Shen Jufeng and Lu Jiu walked along the route they left the mark.
The humanoid creature who was watching them from a distance noticed this and immediately followed.
After walking for a long distance, Shen Jufeng finally met Shen Cheng's team. Seeing that the two were safe, Shen Cheng patted Shen Jufeng on the shoulder and said, "Luckily, no one is wrong."
Now that they have met, they will stay here for the time being and wait for subsequent reinforcements.
The humanoid creature in the dark had its pupils constricted when it saw these two people with so many companions, but soon began to relax, turned around and flapped its wings to leave. She had to tell the patriarch.
·
In the tent, Shen Jufeng began to tell his uncle about their brief time with the humanoid creatures.
"This humanoid creature is a bit special. She eats our food without any discomfort, and after breaking down this crystal, she can speak our language. I wonder if they have some kind of system."
Chen Cheng supported his chin with his right hand, "Maybe there is a system. Maybe it consumed this crystal to gain the ability to communicate with us."
After all, he had never quite believed that only their world had mutated, while nothing was wrong here.
I originally thought that the high technology here made the earth become like that, but now it seems that both planets are controlled and merged by an unknown force.
Lu Jiu: "She's been very polite these days. Although she hasn't said much, she gives us this crystal every time she comes to eat. It seems to be a reward. She also hasn't concealed the fact that she has been secretly monitoring us."
After listening to this, Shen Cheng looked outside, but unfortunately, apart from the trees that could be seen everywhere their people followed, he really didn’t see anything suspicious.
"That means she has to show up herself every time, otherwise you won't be able to find her."
Lu Jiu nodded, "Yes, at first we could clearly sense her surveillance and determine our general location. After she discovered this, she moved further away, but she was still able to monitor us unnoticed."
The opponent was stronger than they had imagined, and the so-called talent she mentioned reminded Lu Jiu of the description in the magic set, which said that equipping this equipment could triple the talent damage.
I don't know if there is any connection between them.
Chen Cheng sighed secretly, "It seems that the other party has already known about our arrival. Now it depends on whether they are willing to show up and communicate with us."
They certainly can't conduct a large-scale search here, as that would give people a sense of intimidation.
Fortunately, Lu Jiu and the others had communicated with this type of creature before, and at least they knew that the other party had no intention of attacking them.
·
After settling down here, everyone stopped eating instant food, and the logistics staff started preparing hot food. However, the biggest reason for doing so was what Lu Jiu had revealed, that kind of humanoid creatures quite liked their food, especially the sweet ones.
As expected of a logistics department that cooks for the troops, the food is very rich, with all kinds of vegetables and meat available.
They were in this woods, some of them would patrol first while the other would go to eat, and then they would switch places.
Unfortunately, the humanoid creature did not appear again until the next day.
Maybe because there were too many people, it attracted quite a few Cundi birds to come here.
However, this time, the Zhunti bird did not rush up to take a bite like it did to Lu Jiu and Chen Jufeng before. Instead, it landed on the tree trunk and stared at the soldiers on guard with its scarlet eyes.
Lu Jiu had told Chen Cheng about the ferocity of the bird, so the soldiers were on alert, but not prepared to take action first.
"What on earth are these birds trying to do?"
Lu Jiu felt a little uneasy as he spoke. Shen Jufeng looked around at the increasing number of Zhunti birds and felt that if they continued, the excessive number of birds would only make things worse for them.
Shen Jufeng: "I'll go ask my uncle if we should evacuate here first."
If this goes on, who knows how many more Cundi birds will surround them. These birds are still very powerful in combat and vitality.
Lu Jiu nodded, "You go."
Shen Jufeng quickly went to tell Shen Cheng about this. Originally, Shen Cheng and the others were discussing in the tent how they should express their sincerity if that kind of humanoid creature came.
I didn't expect that wild creatures from this planet would appear outside again.
When the captains came out of the tent, they saw a large number of Cundi birds resting on the tree trunks. Everyone's faces suddenly became ugly. Ding Ying and the others even thought of the short creatures they had dealt with before.
The properties are similar to the two-headed birds described by Shen Jufeng.
Chen Cheng hesitated, but after thinking about it, everyone's life is the most important, "Then prepare to evacuate and try to stay away from these creatures."
At the commander's command, the soldiers began to move, while observing the movements of the Cundi birds.
But they packed up their things, making quite a big movement, but the birds seemed unmoved and continued to perch on the tree trunks.
The things were packed up quickly, and the army of about a hundred people gathered and left.
After walking for a while, everyone's expressions became more serious because the birds were still following them.
This made Lu Jiu and the others feel strange. Could it be that these birds were determined to follow them?
Chen Cheng thought for a moment, "Keep going forward. We should explore this forest carefully. Everyone should not take the initiative to attack."
"receive!"
The clear and neat echo of the sound made the birds on the tree trunks flap their wings.
·
It just so happened that they had eaten before, so they could walk for a long time without any problem, but the Zhunti birds did not stop tracking them.
Near dusk, Chen Cheng stopped the team and prepared to camp here.
The number of Cundi birds is increasing, and there are considerable numbers of birds perched on almost every tree.
To be wary of the birds, everyone decided to continue having instant food for dinner.
As the sky began to darken, the Cundi birds resting on the trees began to become restless, and the soldiers grabbed their weapons, ready to fight at any time.
In a few minutes, all the birds spread their wings and flew up, circling overhead and surrounding them.
Shen Cheng was not in a hurry, because knowing that there were such creatures here, the officials asked the follow-up reinforcements to bring heavy weapons that had recently been confirmed to be usable.
Soon someone took out a weapon from his backpack. It looked like a heavy cannon, but it was not that big. It sat on the ground and could not be ignored.
A total of five heavy weapons were brought out, and each weapon had two soldiers standing on both sides to operate it, one to adjust the angle and the other to be responsible for shooting.
The red feathers of the Cundi bird are very conspicuous here, and your ears will be filled with their "lilele" calls.
Lu Jiu soon heard a very obvious chirping sound, which penetrated through all the other sounds and entered his ears.
The Zhunti birds seemed to have received instructions and all turned around and dived towards them.
"Launch a counterattack!" Shen Cheng roared.
When the triggers of those heavy weapons were pulled, blue-purple flames spurted out from the muzzles, instantly enveloping the rushing Zhunti birds.
