Those rumors are as dangerous as mirages to those who lack discernment
…
This time, everyone knew what the source of the voice was.
——Who would have thought that this ferocious-looking fat bug in front of them could actually imitate human voices!
It fluttered its wings and flew into the air, its fat belly was still trembling, it looked like a mass of fat, turned upside down, with barbs standing up all over its body, like a bloated puffer fish.
“What the hell is this…?” Shu Hua and the others backed away unanimously, their scalps tingling.
Lu Liran has never seen this kind of thing before, but the name and information of this thing jumped out of his mind. He knew it was the common biological knowledge of the primary detection skill being gradually turned into his own——
“Stinging sound bird, the saliva and the spikes on its body are corrosive, and can imitate the sound of creatures. It often uses this method to trap prey.”
After he finished speaking, Shu Hua took a light breath: “Can this thing be considered a bird? It’s clearly a big and ugly bug!”
As soon as Shu Hua finished speaking, he saw the pair of thin cicada wings behind the thing covered with a layer of bright green feather. At first glance, it looks like a moldy mass full of mold.
But at least, it barely looks like the wings of a bird.
Seeing this, Shu Hua felt disgusted again.
After putting on the flying equipment, the stinging sound bird obviously flew higher. It fully spread its wings, with a wingspan six times the width of its plump body, and it suddenly looked bigger and more ferocious.
Xian Dan gasped: “So you think it doesn’t look like birds! Now it does!”
Shu Hua swallowed: “It’s not that I said it doesn’t look like it, it doesn’t have wings, anyway it’s none of my business!”
As he spoke, he immediately took out the remaining torches from the back of the camel horse, and asked Xian Dan to light them: “Quick, let’s light up the remaining torches! This thing can fly, and torches are very useful!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Liran yelled “Be careful!”.
Shu Hua subconsciously lay down, then he felt a gust of wind blowing over his head.
Shu Hua and Xian Dan looked over with lingering fear, and saw the stinging sound bird jumping to the other side, and its speed was astonishingly fast, which did not match its fat figure at all.
The stinging sound bird slammed on the brakes and hovered in the air, then turned back, staring at their group with its green protruding eyes, and opening and closing its circular mouth parts with inverted teeth——
“Old Six! Old Six!”
Shu Hua and Xian Dan seized the time to light the torches, and asked Lu Liran in a low voice: “The one that called us earlier and this one, are they the same one?”
In the next second, they heard —— “Xiao Qi!”, “Xiao Qi!” came from the direction they had just come from.

Qin Qi nervously held the dagger in his hand, and when he fell off the camel horse, the wound on his calf was torn, and a piercing pain made him break out in a cold sweat.
He panted, as he leaned limply on the camel horse, with the dagger placed across his chest, he fixed his eyes on the monster in mid-air, not daring to relax at all.
The three camel horses were restless and agitated, constantly shifting their hooves and making “wheezing” noises.
Across the sky, in the mist, they saw another vague silhouette flying this way and growing larger.
When they got close enough, they could see what it looked like—— the other stinging sound bird was much bigger than the previous one, almost three meters long. The barbs and carapace on its body have faded to a deep red like rust, and they are as shiny as if they have been smeared with oil.
“What’s the difference between an adult and a fledgling?” Qin Qi opened his eyes slightly.
“It doesn’t matter if it’s an adult or not, if it flies over, just turn it into roasted wings!” Shu Hua cursed and cursed, and finally he and Xian Dan lit the torch.
The remaining three torches were distributed to Lu Liran, leaving Qin Qi and Ke Ji, a medical soldier Beta with almost zero combat power, and an Omega with incredible strength. Interstellar has a consistent default, Omega is still the one that needs to be protected in the group team, even if Mr. Ke is infinitely powerful.
Ke Ji was forced to be surrounded by three people in a protective circle, with three camel horses behind him, like erecting a three-meter-high fence.
He frowned and looked into the air, and saw the two stinging sound birds hovering in the sky not far away, as if they were thinking about how to get the five of them together as a meal.
The sound of “gash, gash” came from the mouths of the two stinging song birds, and the sound was sometimes fast and sometimes slow.
Qin Qi lowered his voice: “Why do I feel like they are communicating?”
“These two birds don’t look very smart, why don’t we back away quietly?” Shu Hua asked.
The corner of Qin Qi’s mouth twitched: “Those two birds can imitate our speech, but they don’t look smart? Brother Shu, I don’t think you look very smart.”
Shu Hua: “Little brat!”
Lu Liran squinted his eyes and said: “The imitation of human voices is an animal instinct, but creatures with the ability to communicate have a certain IQ, and they should not be underestimated.”
He said, but the words changed, and then said: “But Shu Hua is right. We can move slowly. This open area is not good for us. Even if we can’t avoid their attacks, we can’t be on their favorable terrain.”
He raised his hand decisively and chose the direction to evacuate: “Let’s go!”
The group moved immediately.
Lu Liran went to the direction of the shadows of the tree. The shadow of the trees is dense, at least after entering there, the stinging sound bird with a figure of more than three meters will be restricted a little, then they will have an advantage.
The two stinging sound birds were still hovering in the air, keeping a close distance from Lu Liran and his party.
They walked through the pool and passed the body of Old Six. Xian Dan couldn’t bear to close his eyes, and said in a low voice: “Half of his body is gone…”
“It took less than an hour.” Shu Hua clenched his fists, “We didn’t even hear his call for help. That bird was too poisonous.”
Qin Qi’s face was ghastly white, his eyes glued to the corpse of Old Six, and his mouth muttered the question: “Will the others also…”
“No, we didn’t see their bodies, so they are still alive.” Xian Dan interrupted Qin Qi.
Qin Qi didn’t say anything anymore, he forced himself to look away and look at the shadow of the trees directly in front of him.
The mist dissipated little by little, as if everything was getting better.
“They are still there and have no intention of rushing down.” Shu Hua paid attention to the tracks of the two stinging song birds, and reported in a low voice.
Lu Liran nodded. They were about to go in, but they had to maintain a normal pace, so that the two stinging sound birds could not feel that they were fleeing.
However, at this moment, a camel horse suddenly uttered a loud cry, raised its two front hooves, and jumped out without warning.
Lu Liran’s pupils shrank, he cursed secretly, and immediately said: “Quick! Go into the woods!”
Shu Hua picked up Qin Qi, who had difficulty with his legs: “Run!”
Xian Dan followed closely, and called out to Ke Ji at the same time.
Ke Ji responded perfunctorily, but looked at the ground, and saw that in the hoof hole where the camel horse stood just now, there was a thing like a stem slowly shrinking into the sandpit.
He narrowed his pupils slightly, and clearly saw that the part that hadn’t been fully retracted was the green and red mouthparts, which were bright in color and full of fangs.
Ke Ji pulled out the machete and slashed it down extremely fast, directly cutting off the mouth part. The surrounding sand and dust rose high, and the severed mouth part was picked out of the sand, twitching and twisting a few times, and then no longer moving.
Ke Ji tore off a piece of clothing, then picked up the mouth part through the fabric and put it away hastily, and then hurried to catch up with Xian Dan and the others.
[Fuck…this Omega is so cruel]
[Ah, what what? I was just watching Brother Lu and the others run away!]
[The Beauty in the background panel seems to chop off something with a machete, and wrap it up?? I suspect I saw it wrong]
[I have a hunch that it won’t be long before we can see the true owner of that thing]
[A one good tiger O]
The two stinging song birds suddenly screamed above their heads, with one shouting “Xiao Qi” and the other yelling “Old Six!”. Qin Qi covered his ears, and almost couldn’t resist his psychological shadow.
“Be careful!” Ke Ji bumped Xian Dan away abruptly, and he quickly raised the machete above his head. After a block, there was a crisp clang like metal colliding, and a few barbs hit the machete blade.
Xian Dan was in a cold sweat, if Ke Ji hadn’t blocked him in time, these barbs would have stuck on him.
Before he had time to thank him, he saw that there were obviously a few small pits left on the machete, as if it had been corroded.
Ke Ji also noticed it, he frowned, turned his wrist, and shook off all the barbs and the residual corrosive body fluid on the blade surface.
He then pushed Xian Dan and urged in a low voice: “Go!”
Xian Dan regained his senses, he quickly grabbed the torch on the ground, and quickly followed Lu Liran.
A group of people ventured into the woods, and the two stinging sound birds rushed in regardless.
The stinging sound bird more than three-meters long was stopped by a dense tree trunk, and it knocked over several strong branches in one breath before stopping. The whole bird was tumbling in the woods, and the movement of wings being broken from the impact could be heard clearly.
In the end, it fell heavily on the thick accumulated leaves, its wings skeleton twisted and folded over, and all the rusty-red feathers on its body fell off strangely, as if the wings had fallen off of their own accord because they had been broken and separated from the supporting mother body.
The stinging song bird opened its mouth and made a faint “gash gash” cry for help.
Lu Liran didn’t expect that the stinging sound bird would end in such a dramatic suicidal ending. He walked over, then looked down at the strange bird, he raised his battle ax violently and swung it down heavily without blinking his eyes.
Blood flowed from the severed neck and flowed all over the ground.
Seeing this, the other stinging song bird screamed “Old Six!”, “Old Six!” flapping its wings and flying away.
[Ah, this bird is really not very smart…can it be killed by this?]
[Its body is too big and the weight is heavy, and it flies so fast, it can’t just brake, right]
[Sure enough, if you encounter such a big bird, you should run into the dense forest! Learned! But I hope I would never use it orz]
[Fuck, Brother Lu and the Beauty both like to use such big cold weapons so much, machete and battle axe are too hardcore]
[Easy to use]
[Really]
[Not to mention, just looking at it, I feel that these two cold weapons are really suitable for them, so cool!!]
