Chapter 794 Hunting the Big Monster Bird
After reaching an agreement with the wind weasel, Zhou Xu rested in the garrison camp for one night and set out on his return journey early the next morning.
At the same time, in Green Forest City, Li Ce, the defender of Green Forest City, received a report from Jie Liancheng.
"A huge strange bird..."
I had thought that the recruitment mission would not be troublesome, but an unexpected event occurred at this time.
[If that huge strange bird is really a supernatural creature, a supernatural creature with the ability to fly, it is indeed a problem. It seems that I have to go there in person. Before that, I still have to write a report to His Majesty.]
As his thoughts raced, Li Ce quickly spread out a piece of white paper and began to write a report.
Obviously, facing the extraordinary creatures with the ability to fly, he was not as helpless as Jie Liancheng.
The fundamental reason is that he possesses the mantra of 'beast soldier control' bestowed by their Majesty.
This was the mantra bestowed upon him by His Majesty after he took command of the Lizardmen's southern border troops, considering that there were too many beast units of various kinds over there.
Extraordinary creatures are also within the scope of "beasts", so this mantra can naturally work.
After writing the report and sending it out, Li Ce turned around to arrange some matters in Green Forest City, and then went to support Jie Liancheng in person.
Originally, Li Ce wanted to fly there directly on a hot air balloon, but then he thought of the existence of the giant monster bird, and for safety reasons, he gave up the idea.
Judging from the current situation, leaving aside the possibility that the strange bird did not attack the hot air balloon, their hot air balloon had not been attacked by the strange bird during its two previous flights, so it was most likely due to good luck.
Li Ce obviously had no intention of taking chances, so it was better to keep a low profile at this time.
The price of keeping a low profile was that it took him some more effort to finally reunite with Jie Liancheng.
"What? Do you have any way to deal with that big monster bird?"
At this moment, Xie Liancheng looked at Li Ce with a bit of surprise in his eyes.
Putting aside his ability to lead troops, in Xie Liancheng's eyes, Li Ce didn't look like a particularly capable general.
Seeing this, Li Ce did not hide it.
"Your Majesty has given me a mantra that can control beasts. Extraordinary creatures are also beasts, so I should be able to control them."
Now that things had come to this, Li Ce took the opportunity to talk to Jie Liancheng about the next plan.
"When the time comes, I will use the mantra to control the giant bird, and you can kill it when the time is right."
Li Ce said this simply, as if he could easily deal with the big monster bird.
But in fact, the risks involved are quite great. If there is any mistake, both of them may be killed by the giant monster bird.
After explaining the plan in relatively detail, the two men did not waste any time and quickly led a small team of soldiers to the top of the mountain.
During this period, all soldiers in the team were equipped with bows and arrows, even Jie Liancheng was no exception.
The closer they got to the top of the mountain, the more nervous the tribesman who was responsible for leading them became.
"We can't get any closer, or the giant bird will discover us.
Hearing this, Li Ce looked outside.
I don’t know if it was the work of that huge monster bird, but the closer you get to the top of the mountain, the fewer trees and vegetation there are, and the top of the mountain is completely bare.
This is undoubtedly a good thing for the big strange bird that builds its nest on the top of the mountain.
After all, in this way, no one can approach its nest quietly under the cover of the mountains and forests.
But on the other hand, this situation is a very bad thing for them.
"We can't see the top of the mountain from here, let alone the nest of the giant strange bird. Judging from the current situation, it will be difficult for us to take the next step if we don't go out."
After hearing what Li Ce said, Xie Liancheng stood up without saying a word.
"I'll lead it."
Xie Liancheng did not say this without thinking.
On the contrary, he has thought things through very clearly and he is the best candidate at the moment.
Among the rest of the people, Li Ce needs no introduction. In the next action, Li Ce is the most important controller. When the big monster bird appears, he needs to use the mantra to control the opponent. He must need a safe and stable environment so that he can concentrate on seizing the opportunity and using the mantra.
Under this premise, the task of killing the big monster bird undoubtedly fell on Jie Liancheng.
The armor on him is stronger than that of ordinary soldiers, and his overall strength is also stronger than other soldiers. He will be used as bait. By then, he will be closest to the big monster bird. As long as Li Ce controls the target, he can immediately launch lethal means.
As for the other soldiers who followed him, the most they could do was hide in the woods and provide cover for him with bows and arrows.
If even Jie Liancheng could figure it out, how could Li Ce not figure it out?
This was the first time they had worked together on something like this. Now that he saw that Jie Liancheng was so decisive in doing things, Li Ce naturally did not hesitate either.
Considering that they were fighting in the mountains, he did not bring his three-pointed double-edged sword. This time, his main weapons were the bow and arrow and the crystal iron sword on his waist.
Now Jie Liancheng is also a skilled and courageous man. With one hand on the hilt of the knife, he walked out of the forest that obscured his figure in a carefree manner.
But he did not go far. After all, their goal now was no longer to go to the top of the mountain, but to lure the big monster bird over.
It is not difficult to see from the words of those tribal members that the big monster bird has a very strong sense of territory. Once you break into its territory, you will be attacked immediately.
At this moment, Xie Liancheng was not polite at all. After walking a few steps and standing still, he yelled at the top of the mountain...
"You stinky bird on the mountain! Grandpa is here, why don't you get off and die?!"
When Xie Liancheng started shouting, his voice was so full of energy that it made Li Ce and the others' ears buzz. In the past, when the various countries were fighting, he was an expert at challenging the enemy outside the city and scolding them in front of the battle.
At this moment, Xie Liancheng was about to continue firing, but at this moment, a loud scream came from the top of the mountain.
Faced with provocation, the big monster bird on the mountain really didn't tolerate them at all.
In the blink of an eye, the sun above Xie Liancheng's head was blocked by a black shadow with a wingspan of at least four or five meters.
“Here it comes!”
The huge monster bird moved swiftly. Almost as soon as it appeared, it showed its claws and pounced towards Jie Liancheng who was standing below.
Faced with the attack, Xie Liancheng immediately drew his sword and made a parrying move.
At the same time, inside the forest, Li Ce saw the opportunity and quickly launched the mantra.
[Beast Soldier Control! ]
In an instant, the invisible power of the mantra was transformed into a powerful controlling force, which was drawn towards the huge monster bird.
At that moment, affected by the power of the truth, the big monster bird's movements were obviously slowed down.
Li Ce's original intention was to directly control the huge monster bird and let it be killed, but this matter was obviously not as simple as he thought.
The big monster bird's will was unexpectedly strong. Even though he had used the truth to make it lose self-control, he was unable to control it any further. The momentum of the bird's sharp claws pouncing down on him could no longer be stopped.
In the split second between life and death, Jie Liancheng stood with a knife in his hand, and one difficult-to-pronounce mantra after another came out of his mouth.
In an instant, tiny flashes of lightning shot out from Jie Liancheng's body! [Lightning Dance!]
