Quiet.
Dead silence.
The whole room fell silent.
Dongling, cemetery... When these two words are put together, a series of images instantly emerge in everyone's mind.
"Hiss - I have goose bumps all over my body!" Qi Yue said while rubbing her arms and shivering while hugging Lin Weiwei.
Shen Ruoyan also moved a little closer to her sister.
The lone Liu Xiaoruan looked left and right, then moved stealthily towards Qiao Bai.
kindness.
The main reason is that Professor Qiao Bai's big bird looks very evil-repelling! Fu Tianguang stood still, but if you look closely, you will find that his eyes are empty. Li Gan and Lu Wentao are not much better. Their overly rich imagination makes the expressions on their faces unpredictable.
Zhang Hongyi stood there without moving, but the War Blood Lion King beside him already looked eager to try.
What? A cemetery?
No problem!
It, the lion king, is not afraid of difficulties and moves forward bravely for the cat in its heart!
If he hadn't known the way and if Zhang Hongyi had grabbed his tail with one hand, the War Blood Lion King would have really rushed out like this.
Seeing everyone's hair standing on end, Luo Yiming quickly said, "Dongling is indeed a cemetery, but it is not quite the same as you imagined... Let's not talk about whether there are ghosts. Even if there are ghosts in Dongling, they can't do such a thing!"
Everyone turned to look at Luo Yiming with some confusion.
Are you so sure?
Upon seeing this, the seniors from Honghu University nodded repeatedly.
"Don't be scared, Dongling is not an ordinary cemetery. Those buried in Dongling are all beastmasters who sacrificed their lives while resisting the beast tide!"
"Yes! Most of them have no family. Dongling is their resting place and proof that future generations will remember them!"
“Although I don’t know what happened to that egg thief… but even if there are ghosts in Dongling, they are definitely not bad people!”
"Some of our predecessors are buried there..."
Their voices became smaller and smaller.
The expressions of fear on the faces of other people who were still afraid gradually disappeared.
ah……
"There's really nothing to be afraid of." Qiao Bai nodded and said.
How could a place where the souls of heroes rest in peace be so scary? "Combining the existing clues... did you record the appearance of the extraordinary creature just now?" Qiao Bai continued, "There were those extraordinary creatures that originally lived nearby. Which of them is most likely to evolve?"
In fact, after seeing the appearance of that extraordinary creature, Qiao Bai had some ideas in his mind.
"That area is inhabited by pets with flying attributes, various birds and feathered creatures... After all, it is a new evolutionary form, and there may be quite a lot of them." Luo Yiming quickly flipped through the information in his hand, with an embarrassed expression: "In terms of tribes, there are mite bats and feathered nighthawks that are active at night and dormant during the day, four-winged white-throated birds and blue spirit birds that are active during the day and dormant at night, and there are also a group of scattered birds and other extraordinary creatures with flying attributes..."
Luo Yiming read out the names of those extraordinary creatures one by one.
It sounds like both are possible, but not certain.
"Hmm..." As she listened, a female beastmaster from Honghu University suddenly showed a hesitant expression on her face.
The classmate next to her noticed it immediately: "Sister Yan, is there something wrong?"
The two people's movements were a little big, and other people in the room also noticed them. Luo Yiming stopped and looked at the two people.
Qiao Bai also looked over.
"What did you find?" Luo Yiming looked at the female student who first showed abnormality.
"Weaver bird, Teacher Luo, you just said that this extraordinary creature is also nearby, right?" Yu Yan pulled the end of her medium-long hair, smacked her lips, and asked back with a somewhat conflicted expression.
Luo Yiming was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, there is a weaver bird nearby."
"Do you suspect that the extraordinary creature just now has some relationship with the weaver bird?" As he said this, Luo Yiming was about to retrieve the information of the weaver bird.
The Supernatural Creatures Park of Honghu University is very large, and there are many supernatural creatures inside. Finding them one by one is indeed like looking for a needle in a haystack. However, as long as they can accurately locate a certain supernatural creature, they can find out the origin and experience of this supernatural creature from the school's database.
The weaver bird is a supernatural creature with flying and fairy attributes. It is a small supernatural creature, about the size of a basketball, round, chubby and somewhat cute.
Looking at the cute appearance of the weaver bird in the photo that Luo Yiming found, and then recalling the glimpse of the egg thief not long ago, everyone really couldn't connect these two extraordinary creatures together.
"If this weaver bird is the one I know, then it may indeed have something to do with this matter." Yu Yan said.
"Can you tell me more about it?" Qiao Bai looked at the senior who looked to be in her twenties and had a calm expression. "Is there anything special about the weaving bird you know?"
Qiao Bai's attitude was gentle, without any aggressive emotion.
Yu Yan glanced at him, reached into her pocket and took out a box of mint cigarettes. Then she realized that there were people around and this was not a suitable place to smoke, so she leaned back and supported herself with her hands on the operating table behind her.
"The weaving bird I know is the pet of a senior student from the combat department who is two years older than me."
No one interrupted Yu Yan.
The senior sister's pet appeared in a park where other people can contract pets... Looking at Yu Yan's appearance, it is clear that this senior sister is not a bad person and will not abandon her pet.
"Senior died in the battle against the beast tide two and a half years ago. Most of her pets died with her. The only one who survived was the weakest one, Weaver Bird."
The room fell silent again.
But it was different from the eerie silence that one gets after hearing about a cemetery. It was really because... everyone didn't know what to say.
No tears.
But my heart inexplicably felt a little heavy.
"Su Que, a third-level beastman of the combat department of Honghu University, has been admitted to the Central Region Advanced Beast Taming Academy. He unfortunately died in the battle against the beast tide two and a half years ago while trying to protect ordinary people. A sixth-level fire dragon was killed, a fifth-level violent giant bear was killed, a fifth-level steel armor beast was killed, a fifth-level water dragonfly was killed, and only a fourth-level weaver bird survived." Luo Yiming read out the information about the weaver bird in the file in a flat voice.
Just a few lines.
It seems that one can glimpse traces of past battles.
"After going through school procedures to confirm that the weaver bird had no malicious intent to attack, it was ultimately placed on the school campus."
"Its beastmaster, Su Que, was finally buried in Dongling." Qiao Bai said in an affirmative tone.
Yu Yan nodded.
"That's right."
"Birds and Aventurine, these two words are combined together, and I just happened to hear the name of the weaving bird, so I subconsciously associated it with this incident." Yu Yan sighed and rubbed his forehead with one hand: "As for whether it is true or not, I am not sure, and I haven't seen my senior sister's weaving bird for a long time."
"I went to see it when it was first sent to the park...but the weaving bird is not in a good condition." Yu Yan shrugged and said, "For a pet that has lost its beastmaster and companions, this is understandable, right?"
No one can utter the words incomprehensible.
Suddenly, I lost my beastmaster and companions, and I am the only one who survived...
They don’t know what Weaver Bird’s mood was at that time, but if you put yourself in her shoes... it probably wasn’t very good. Not being emo until death was considered strong.
"I went there ten times a year and it was considered good to see it once. Later, my courses increased, the battle tasks became heavy, and I also had to train my pet. Gradually, I stopped going there. I don't know how senior sister's weaving bird is doing."
"If it suddenly evolves or suddenly awakens...it doesn't seem impossible?"
That makes some sense.
"But no matter what, stealing pet eggs and other people's pets is not something that can be understood." After Qiao Bai's words came out, everyone was stunned for a moment and then nodded.
yes.
Sadness is sadness, sadness is sadness, why don't you steal pet beast eggs and pet beasts after you evolve? "Go to Dongling." Qiao Bai made a decisive decision.
Luo Yiming would naturally not stop them, but it was unrealistic for so many people to go. In the end, the only ones who went together were Qi Yue, Lin Weiwei, Li Gan, who came with Qiao Bai, and Luo Yiming.
Fu Tianguang, Liu Xiaoruan and others were eager to follow.
They also knew that this was not the time for them to cause trouble and that so many people were not needed.
最后他们只能望乔白兴叹——哎！为什么他们就不是乔白的好基友呢！不然这个时候不就能抱上大腿了吗！
然后……不要脸的就出现了。
“嗷——吼——！”战血狮王摩擦着爪子猛地跳了出来。
带上狮带上狮！
狮也要一起去！
根本不知道战血狮王对猫猫虫一见钟情这件事的其他人，瞬间都用震惊的目光看向了张弘一，像是在说：没想到你原来是这样的张弘一！
突然就被迫社死的张弘一：“……”
如芒在背。
如坐针毡。
他成为亚军的时候接受的注视都没有这一刻炙热而伤人。
张弘一对战血狮王伸手，像是想要劝阻战血狮王。
在他行动之前，小乌先一步地行动了起来。
小乌：（`へ*)ノ
烦死了！ 闭嘴懂不懂？ 不懂鸟帮你懂！
小乌悍然出手！
小乌一翅膀直接把战血狮王扇飞十多米远！
击晕！
战血狮王KO！
顿时房间里陷入了一片诡异的氛围中。
众人疯狂地用眼神和眼神进行交流。
‘看到了没有？一翅膀！只用了一翅膀！’
‘好家伙！决赛的时候还没有拿出真正的水准来啊！这才是小乌真正的实力！’
‘这是正常人能培育出来的宠兽吗？服了服了，我真的服了，我甘拜下风！’
一群人挤眉弄眼的就差没有眼皮子抽筋了。
乔白看了一眼收回视线，就当没有看见他们在交流什么吧，这些都不是重点。
“小乌，别打了。”乔白对愤怒的小乌招了招手，小乌这才放弃了追着战血狮王继续狂揍的行动，落在了乔白的手臂上，还是一副羽毛炸开气呼呼的模样。
小乌：╭(╯^╰)╮
鸟的小弟都不见了，蠢狮子还在那里炫耀肌肉？
看它不顺眼！ 揍一顿！ 乔白好笑地拍了拍小乌头上的呆毛，心里有些哭笑不得又有些欣慰。
嗐。
大宝长大了。
和乔白知道猫猫虫大概率没问题，并且现在好像还挺美滋滋的不同，在小乌的视角看来就是小弟当着它的面被拐走了。
别看小乌平时总是和猫猫虫争宠，还一副挺嫌弃猫猫虫的样子。
但是。
小乌：鸟的小弟只有鸟能欺负？其他家伙欺负它？ 受死吧！ 张牙舞爪.jpg 咳咳。
总之有战血狮王的惨状在前，其他人都老老实实地安静了下来。
“那个……”余烟迟疑好一会儿还是站了出来：“能带我一起吗？要是那只超凡生物真的是学姐的织鸟……说不定我能帮你们和它沟通一下。”
“它还记得我的话。”
唰唰唰——
其他人都用看勇者的目光看向了余烟。
勇者余烟本人：“……”
乔白：“那就一起吧。”
……
东陵。
从鸿鹄大学到东陵来也有相当长的一段距离，越是往东陵的方向就越僻静，人烟也逐渐变得稀少起来。
没有奢华的装饰。
没有大张旗鼓地宣扬。
东陵就这么静悄悄的，却又坚挺地伫立在城市的边缘，远远地就能看到城墙，视角再高一点就能看到城墙外无边无际的禁忌之地。
“这个位置是不是有点不太好？”面对东陵，戚月的声音不自觉地都小了起来：“想来给他们扫墓都很难，再加上不远处就是城墙……”
“不，这个位置刚刚好。”罗一鸣闻言笑了起来：“东陵的选址是星城御兽师们一起挑出来的，就为了将来在他们死后，还能在最前线看到一波接着一波被消灭的兽潮。”
“他们也想着，如果人死后还有灵魂的话，他们能祝福、保佑新生的走上第一线的御兽师平安归来。”
戚月瞬间不说话了。
乔白也扭头看向外面那一排排白色的墓碑。
一块接着一块。
没有墓地的阴森，反而带着一种说不出来的安全感——就好像他们依旧在死后守护着这座城市，抵抗着兽潮的入侵。
像是注意到了乔白他们的眼神，罗一鸣语气淡淡的，里面带着几分无奈：“随着科技的进步和对超凡生物更深一步的挖掘和研究，其实近百年来，在兽潮中牺牲的御兽师数量越来越少。”
“但每一次兽潮毕竟都是战斗，既然是战斗就免不了牺牲，数量再少，只要降临在个人的头上那就是死亡到来。”
“苏雀她是个优秀的学生……哎。”罗一鸣说着摇了摇头。
“两年半前的兽潮……感觉我完全没有听说过。”林薇薇眨了眨眼睛，眼神中带着几分迷茫的情绪。
罗一鸣又笑了起来：“星城是一座特殊的城市，兽潮来袭的次数比其他城市都要多得多，战斗的情况也比其他城市都要惨烈严重得多。”
“只要不是巨大型兽潮，在密集的中小型兽潮都不会宣扬出去的，没有必要引起其他城市的恐慌。”
对星城御兽师和普通人来说，司空见惯。
他们有着最快的反应速度和最好的应急措施。
作为首都的行程无论是在科技还是经济又或者是其他方面，都远胜于其他城市和省份，在各种政策上国家更是大力扶持，这里面不是没有原因的。
“乔教授，我不是说宠兽进化专业不好，但是你念这个专业实在是太浪费天赋了！”说着说着，罗一鸣不由得痛心疾首地看向乔白：“要你是战斗系的话……”
“罗老师，个人有个人的选择。”乔白没说什么，是余烟打断了罗一鸣的话：“再说了，宠兽进化专业不也挺好的嘛，人家乔白教授将来说不定还是这行的翘楚呢。”
罗一鸣咳嗽了两声，露出了不好意思的表情。
乔白好奇，如果他是战斗系……怎么样？ 在乔白询问之前，车停在了东陵的门口，乔白将心中的疑惑暂且放下，一行人下车朝着东陵里走去。
进入大门。
走上台阶。
中间的路并不宽敞，两边是一排排经过风吹日晒后颜色发黄的墓碑。
最前面几排，几十排的墓碑分布得比较密集，磨损程度也非常相似，应该是同一个时期的墓碑。
上面没有照片。
只是简单地记录着生卒年日，记录着他们的名字和宠兽的名字，墓碑后则是有着几行篆刻上去的他们的过往。
乔白认真地看了看，这些墓碑的时间大多数都是五六百年前。
那个时候玉龙和鸿鹄都才刚刚建立。
再往后走中间的道路逐渐变得宽阔起来，两边的墓碑精致了不少，上面也有了照片，颜色从黑白逐渐地过渡到彩色。
时间也从四百年前逐步地接近近代。
“最开始的东陵是由这座城市的普通人在兽潮结束后，自发的、自愿的集结起来，一点点地建造出来的。”
“包括那些墓碑和上面的文字，都是被救下来的普通人又或者是死去御兽师的同伴纂刻下来的。”
“再到后来，东陵才统一纳入了御兽联盟的管理。”罗一鸣带着乔白他们往后走，发现乔白在观察两侧的墓碑，他淡淡地说道。
“在不破坏原本墓碑和民众心意的基础上，联盟修建了后面的部分，同时也将前面纳入日常管理。”
“在每一次兽潮来临之际，战斗开始之前，星城的御兽师们就会自发地来东陵祭拜。”
先辈英魂保佑。
我辈奋勇杀敌。
若能平安归来甚好。
若是不能平安归来……那大家将来就一起常做伴。
每走一步他们的心情就沉重一点，就连乔白也忍不住在心里微微地叹了一口气。
哎。
或许这个世界没有他的国家伤痛的历史，可这个世界也有着另一个层面上的伤痛，和到现在为止依旧没有结束的、日久持续的战斗。
终于。
众人来到了靠后的墓碑。
和前面大多数墓碑比起来，这一片的墓碑都要更加的崭新，上面的照片颜色也更加的鲜艳。
活泼的年轻人甚至早早就给自己准备好了死后的墓志铭。
【拜拜，我先挂了！】
【你说公主请起来】
【当你看到这行字，说明你离我太近了，这太暧昧，tuituitui！】
【墓志铭仅三天可见】
【谢谢你来看我，有空我也会去看看你】
……
“噗嗤——”
几人先是忍不住笑出来，紧接着表情又变得难过起来。
这些生动活泼又玩梗的文字，不正说明了，他们都还是年轻人，拥有年轻的灵魂和年轻的生命，如果还活着他们应该有大好的人生，而不是只能沉睡在这冰冷冷的墓碑之下。
“This is really…” Lin Weiwei’s expression was somewhat confused, and she seemed to be hesitant to speak: “Weren’t they afraid when facing the beast tide? Didn’t they think about dying when they learned that they had to resist the beast tide?”
What she wanted to say more was...didn't these beastmasters ever regret it?
"Logistics, support... In addition to the front line, there are still many jobs that need beastmasters, but they are safer."
"Even the beastmasters who were about to go to the front line to resist the beast tide had the choice to regret and become deserters. Life is only once, and how to live is a personal choice."
"But..." Luo Yiming paused for a moment, "Whenever a beast tide comes, there are many beastmasters who volunteer to go to the front line, but only a handful of them would desert."
Yu Yan heard a snort from the side.
"What kind of deserter?"
"I can't afford to lose this person."
Luo Yiming laughed.
Qiao Bai also exhaled from his chest.
Why.
This atmosphere is created... As long as the egg thief didn't do anything excessive, Qiao Bai felt that it was not surprising that he was not angry, right?
Yes.
The closer they got to Dongling, the clearer the connection between Qiao Bai and the Maomao Chong became. He was sure that the Maomao Chong was indeed here.
The atmosphere in Dongling is solemn, and the deeds of our ancestors make people admire them and shed tears.
But...
The premise is that Qiao Bai did not feel the excited, throbbing, and seemingly ready to burst (×) mood of Maomao Chong.
Qiao Bai: “…”
Suspect.
Very doubtful.
What on earth is Catworm doing?!
As they walked, the group suddenly stopped.
"Is that... the tombstone of Senior Su Que?" Although everyone had never been to Dongling and had no idea in advance where Su Que's tombstone was, they still recognized it at a glance - oh, that tombstone must be Su Que's tombstone.
Because there was a large black mass curled up in front of the tombstone.
Even when curled up into a ball, it still looks quite substantial.
"It's that extraordinary creature."
"It's Senior's weaving bird."
Luo Yiming and Yu Yan spoke at the same time.
Yu Yan stepped forward and said, "I don't know what the situation is with Zhiniao now. I will try to see if I can get close to Zhiniao and communicate with him."
Luo Yiming was a little hesitant, but then he looked at Qiao Bai and his group behind him - they were all high school students.
Except for Qiao Bai, the others didn't even get a college admission letter.
Who knows what the mentality of the evolved weaver bird will be like? Will it suddenly go crazy? "Then be careful." Luo Yiming warned: "Release your pet, just in case."
After hesitating for a moment, Yu Yan released a bird pet, Luoyin Bird: "My Luoyin Bird is the one that my senior sister helped me contract. Zhiniao knows it, so I'll go over first."
After saying that, Yu Yan walked step by step towards the weaver bird, which looked a little more weird and ferocious after its evolution.
"Zhizhi." Yu Yan stood two meters away from the evolved weaver bird and called its name softly, which was also the name that Su Que, her senior schoolmate, told her.
The large ball on the ground heard the familiar name and moved slightly twice, but its wings still firmly protected the two eggs and a pet in its arms. It only showed its head and turned to look in the direction where the voice came from.
The golden-gray eyes revealed a strange and alert expression, and the sharp beak did not show any cuteness that belonged to the weaverbird.
"li——ji——"
It flapped its wings but did not attack Yu Yan, but it was scolding and warning Yu Yan - don't come near.
Yu Yan subconsciously took a step back, then wanted to move forward.
“li——lili——!”
A gray tornado suddenly rushed towards the direction of the remaining smoke.
Yu Yan: "Shield!"
At the same time, Yu Yan retreated quickly, not daring to take a single step forward.
The Luoyin bird used its shield to deflect the attack of the weaving bird and quickly retreated to Yu Yan's side.
"This..." Luo Yiming frowned when he saw this: "Did it recognize you or not?"
“And he attacks humans just by getting close…” The safety factor of the Weaver Bird needs to be re-evaluated, and there’s a good chance he’ll be killed for failing to meet the standards.
Different from other cities.
There are no rules in Xingcheng regarding releasing pets into forbidden areas.
The situation is stable and they have been released back into various parks.
The situation is unstable, kill.
"Teacher Luo, Zhiniao didn't do it on purpose!" Yu Yan quickly interrupted Luo Yiming: "I suspect... I suspect... I suspect..."
After a long while of grunting, Yu Yan finally managed to utter, "Right, right, right! I suspect the weaving bird is trying to protect the pet egg in its arms, so it attacks anyone and any pet that approaches it!"
"This is a biological instinct to protect its cubs!"
Luo Yiming: “…”
Luo Yiming: Go ahead and keep making it up. It just depends on whether I believe it or not.
"Don't even mention that those two pet eggs are not weaverbird eggs. Even if they are, maternal instinct and protective behavior are rare among supernatural creatures." Luo Yiming said with a look of sarcasm.
This is not just a casual remark.
Most supernatural creatures, especially the wild ones.
It’s hard to survive in the wild by yourself, let alone protect the cubs?
When they are safe, they can still show a little maternal love.
Danger?
Being attacked? Those who abandon their cubs and run away, and come back to check on them when they are safe, are considered to be relatively loving mothers.
What's worse is that they just push the egg out and run away.
The egg is gone? Just create another one.
Some extraordinary creatures become endangered because of their own actions.
As for the extraordinary creatures that protect their cubs... there are some, but not many, and even if they do, they are protecting their own cubs.
Which extraordinary creature is protecting a cub that was snatched away and is not its own child at all?
Yu Yan: “…”
I can’t continue making up stories. I really can’t continue making up stories.
But Yu Yan really couldn't bear to watch Senior Su Que's last pet die.
"Professor Qiao, have you seen anything?" Yu Yan's mind moved, and thinking of Qiao Bai's identity as a professor of pet evolution, she turned to Qiao Bai for help.
I hope Qiao Bai can say a few words. As long as Qiao Bai really discovered something and has evidence, the weaver bird will not face death.
Thinking of Yu Yan, I felt a little guilty.
After all, it was Zhiniao who wronged Qiao Bai first, and she wanted Qiao Bai to speak for Zhiniao...
"I know you want to save the weaver bird, but Professor Qiao Bai is a human being, not a machine. He can just take a look at it..." Luo Yiming was interrupted by Qiao Bai before he could finish his complaints.
"Well... I think what Senior Sister Yu Yan said makes some sense." At this time, Qiao Bai spoke up: "The Weaver Bird evolved, and it should be protecting those three... two pet eggs."
Swish, swish, swish——
In an instant, all eyes fell on Qiao Bai.
Different from the remaining smoke.
Yu Yan might have made up stories out of his desire to save the oriole.
But for Qiao Bai.
There is absolutely no need.
The evolved Weaver Bird snatched away the pet egg that Qiao Bai rewarded, and then snatched away Qiao Bai's pet. A simple word "grudge" cannot summarize what the evolved Weaver Bird did.
Qiao Bai also took the initiative to stand up and speak for Zhiniao's evolution...
"Don't look at me like that. I'm not just saying that casually. I really heard and saw something."
Facing the gazes of Qi Yue, Lin Weiwei, Li Gan, Luo Yiming and Yu Yan, Qiao Bai smiled and said.
Just when Yu Yan went to contact the weaving bird.
Qiao Bai unlocked his talent skills
【Eye of Insight】
【The power that should be given】
start up!
[Pet: Night Bird]
[Attribute: Dark + Fairy]
【Variety: Intermediate and Advanced+】
[Level: Advanced Level 6]
[Skills: Pecking, Ghost Bird Crying... Night Wandering]
[Successfully evolved*]
[Bloodline Awakening: 50%]
[Talented Skill: Raising Children]
[Raising Children: The talent in the blood allows Night Bird to have a special sense of all unborn and soon-to-be-born pet eggs, and can adjust the state of pet eggs to the best and the talent to the best in the shortest time (not fully developed, can evolve)]
Nocturnal bird... Qiao Bai was stunned for a moment, and then he found another name for this bird from his memory, which is also a more widely known name but only known by him now - Guhuo Bird.
It is recorded in the ancient books of his original country.
The daughter of the Emperor of Heaven, a night-flying bird, and the Guhuo bird.
The three names correspond to the same legend.
Then Qiao Bai discovered——
More than once, certain extraordinary creatures corresponded to other legends he knew.
For example, the evolutionary path of the little crow is the three-legged golden crow, and the nocturnal bird in front of us evolved from the weaver bird.
coincide?
Originally, Qiao Bai thought that this world also had mythological stories like the Three-legged Golden Crow, but after a year of study and filling in the gaps, Qiao Bai discovered - no, there weren't any at all.
Maybe it's because the world is different.
Or perhaps it is because there are extraordinary creatures in this world that some myths, especially those involving imaginary legendary creatures, do not exist in either the East or the West.
Qiao Bai felt that this was no coincidence.
But now is not the time to dwell on this.
Save the cat and bug first !
Qiao Bai understood the meaning of the nocturnal bird through his innate skill [Power of Response].
Ji——li——Don't come near my child! Or I will attack!
Li——lili——Back off! Don't come near me again!
Qiao Bai couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.
The nocturnal bird sounded very fierce in the first sentence, and the second sentence... Qiao Bai took another look at the nocturnal bird. Only a fifth-level intermediate nocturnal bird could withstand the attack from a sixth-level advanced nocturnal bird and deflect the attack. As for why the nocturnal bird showed mercy... Qiao Bai didn't believe it anyway.
No matter how fiercely it spoke, the night bird actually restrained its strength when facing the sound bird and the remaining smoke.
It doesn't want them to get hurt.
The nocturnal bird simply wanted to drive away Yu Yan and Luo Yin Bird. "My innate skill is [Affinity]. Maybe it's because of the two pets, or maybe it's because I use it so often, I have developed new uses for my ability. I can vaguely understand what other extraordinary creatures mean." Qiao Bai was familiar with it, and he used his trickery without blushing or beating his heart.
Fooling around?
A skilled worker.
Nine true and one false.
I conceal things that I cannot say and do not want to say, but I absolutely do not tell a single lie.
"The evolved form of the weaverbird just now, well... it didn't really have the intention to attack Senior Yu Yan and the nocturnal bird." Qiao Bai restated what the nocturnal bird said.
Luo Yiming was stunned.
There was moisture forming in Yu Yan's eye sockets.
"Can I go up and communicate with it?" Qiao Bai looked at Luo Yiming and Yu Yan who were standing in front of him and said with a sigh.
Luo Yiming: "Just because it has no intention of attacking Yu Yan and Luo Yin Bird, it doesn't mean it won't attack you!"
Yu Yan: "Professor Qiao Bai, it's better to be careful. You'd better not go. If you have anything to say, tell me and I will convey it to you!"
Both of them had the same idea - Qiao Bai couldn't afford to get hurt, so let them go!
Qiao Bai: “…”
"It's okay, I'll take Xiao Wu with me." Qiao Bai said calmly.
Although Xiao Wu's strength is not as strong as that of the nocturnal bird, thinking of Xiao Wu's special deterrence to avian supernatural creatures, Qiao Bai feels that he can still protect his own safety.
"Some things can be communicated more efficiently face to face."
If it was the legendary Guhuo bird, Qiao Bai could understand why it stole eggs (crossed out), but legends are legends. The real nocturnal bird in front of him is not a legend, but a living being, an extraordinary creature with its own love and hate.
The innate skill of the nocturnal bird is only [raising offspring], not [stealing eggs]. This shows that stealing eggs is not an influence brought to the nocturnal bird by its bloodline, but the nocturnal bird itself wants to do so.
Qiao Bai felt that they needed to communicate.
Seeing that there was no way to stop him and Qiao Bai had safeguards in place, Luo Yiming and Yu Yan had no choice but to make way for Qiao Bai.
Qiao Bai brought Xiao Wu forward.
Before it reached the place where Yu Yan was just now, the night bird raised its head again and looked fiercely in the direction of Qiao Bai with a very fierce expression.
"Ji--jilili--" Don't... don't come over... don't come near! The night-flying bird's eyes were not on Qiao Bai, but on the little crow in Qiao Bai's arms.
The night bird looked at the little crow with deep fear and dread in its eyes. Even its advantage in strength could not stop the night bird from trembling and being alert.
Xiao Wu: o(｀ω*)o Scare you to death! I let you steal the bird's little brother! Hurry up and change the bird's little brother back!
Although the little crow did not make any sound, it was magical that the nocturnal bird seemed to hear what the little crow said.
"Li--jili--" They are all my children! They are not your little brothers!
Xiao Wu: [○｀Д○]!
angry!
Very angry!
What do you mean your child? The blue, fattest one is obviously the bird's little brother! Return it to me quickly! Otherwise, don't blame the bird for being rude!
Nocturnal Bird: (') My child!
Xiaowu: (╬◣д◢) Bird’s little brother!
The expressions of the two birds gradually became synchronized, and neither of them gave in. The nocturnal birds' natural and deep-seated fear of the little crow made them retreat in the face of the great maternal love.
Nocturnal bird: ∑(△｀)? !
What? Scared? No no no.
Not scared at all anymore.
If you get scared, your baby will be snatched away by the bad bird! Be strong Be firm Be indestructible!
Qiao Bai: “…”
Qiao Bai held his forehead with his hand.
These two birds... they have completely ignored the existence of him as a human, right?
"Xiao Wu, shut up." Qiao Bai stretched out his hand and pressed it on the ahoge on Xiao Wu's head, and said calmly.
The little crow that was arguing with the nocturnal bird suddenly stopped, and its big golden-red eyes looked down at Qiao Bai obediently with an innocent and lovely look.
Xiaowu: well behaved.jpg Beastmaster ~ Sticky ~
It's not the bird's fault.
It's all the fault of the egg thief on the other side! Bird loves the beastmaster~
The bird just wants to help the beastmaster get his little brother back~
The nocturnal bird on the opposite side: “???”
No...? You...! Night birds don't swear.
Back when it was a cute weaving bird, the pet of the beastmaster, it had never been exposed to swear words, and after the beastmaster was gone...

Nocturnal bird: "ji——jililili——" Damn it! Die! The nocturnal bird screamed to the sky, making a sharp sound that was hundreds of times more unpleasant than a shovel scraping a concrete floor or fingernails scratching a blackboard!

The little crow flapped its wings.
Xiao Wu: If the bird doesn't show its power, you will treat it as a sick cat! "——"
