There are more than a dozen fierce beasts lurking in the cedar forest. Their fur is either gray or white, which perfectly blends into the surrounding environment.

Once a fight starts, people are likely to be attacked by them if they don't notice for a while.

"It's the giant beast that escaped before!" Captain Lie Yang saw the problem with sharp eyes, "They're here for revenge!"

The giant white beast that was wounded by them obviously had a high status in this group of beasts, and it was probably the leading one.

The ferocious beasts seemed to know that they would attack from a long distance, so they deliberately opened a safe distance, hid behind the pine trees, and waited for the opportunity to move.

"Are they waiting for something?" The little Taoist asked his master in a low voice, as he was on guard for a long time since the beasts attacked.

But his master didn't know either.On the other hand, Uncle Seven guessed something, "I guess they are waiting for the leader."

Demon cultivators are also considered half of the beasts, and Uncle Seven relied on his own instincts to speculate that there may be other creatures that will take the lead.

Wild beasts don't judge the situation as well as humans. Since they come for revenge on a large scale, they won't be afraid of the large number of humans. Even if they die, they will bite off a piece of the enemy's flesh, such as the snow leopard that bit the cat slave Warlock before.

It was already quiet at this time, and most of the people present had keen senses. They also heard the conversation between the two, and their nerves became more tense, and they were secretly on guard.

"Guwa - Guwa -" a hoarse and ugly cry came from the distant sky.

A large black mass moved quickly towards the cedar forest.

"What is that?!" Xiao Wu exclaimed, she was worried that the devilish energy had spread over.

In fact, there are not a few people whose first reaction is demonic energy.The devil, the demonic energy, is a sharp sword hanging over everyone's heads all the time, so they are naturally afraid of it falling suddenly.

"It's not magic energy. There's a voice..." Leader Lie Yang has rich experience in the field and has seen many scenes, so he quickly judged, "It should be a bird."

"Screaming so badly, it can't be a crow, right?" Xiao Wu added following this train of thought.

"What's wrong with the crow? Have you eaten your rice?! Don't listen to me if you don't want to hear it! Did you listen to the human crow!" Uncle Seven suddenly possessed himself and yelled at Xiao Wu.

"Ah? That's not what I meant..." Xiao Wu was aggrieved and at a loss.

The people in the Tian|Xing team looked familiar, and the little Taoist reluctantly revealed to Xiao Wu that "crow" is a forbidden word of the Seventh Master Uncle and cannot be said.

Although the others felt that Uncle Seven's reaction was inexplicable, they didn't have the heart to delve into it in the face of the crisis.

Mo Zifei, the wallflower who has been silent and transparent all this time, knows what Uncle Seven is really like.In my heart, I feel that my seventh uncle's roots are too ordinary, and it is not easy to have the current cultivation base.

"Guwa-guwa-guwa-"

After the group of dark birds flew close, everyone finally saw their whole picture clearly.

A single head is as big as a vulture, with a beak and claws like a goshawk, and feathers like a crow. The whole is pitch black, except for a white belly.

This group of birds swooped down towards them fearlessly, their sharp claws aimed at everyone's heads.

"Damn! Shouldn't cats and birds be natural enemies? Why can they drive this group of birds?" The cat slave warlock was already injured, and now he was attacked by several birds, and he was stretched for a while.

Others can improvise to help each other fend off the flocks, but no one wants to help him.

Ever since they knew it was the giant white beast that had come back for revenge, the others really hated the cat slave warlock who stopped Lie Yang's arrow.It is impossible to help, if you don't take the opportunity to hack him to death, it will be regarded as a teammate's affection.

"The Beastmaster can drive all beasts. It belongs to the Forest of Purity. Maybe its ability is more special." Someone speculated.

A strange bird sprang up from the ground and rushed towards the Snake Staff Warlock, but was shot to death by an arrow from a nearby mercenary. "Thank you." The Snake Staff Warlock thanked him and cast a spell to shoot down a swooping strange bird.

The strange bird is very tenacious, as long as it is not dead, even if it is shot down, it will still be injured and attack people.

In contrast, the group of ferocious beasts were much smarter. They took advantage of everyone's busy dealing with the strange birds, and sneaked up on them from time to time.

"The strange bird's IQ is very low," said the Snake Staff Warlock, "Usually, creatures with low IQ will act according to instinct, and it is difficult to obey the orders of others."

"So, there must be something else."

When people are busy, they don't have extra brains to think about problems, and they don't understand.A certain mercenary spoke out in dialect anxiously: "What did you say? What do you mean?"

Of course, there must be smart people who understand, such as Bai Fu, "The strange bird does not necessarily follow the instructions of the giant beast. There are other factors that cause the strange bird to target us."

Bai Fu and the twenty silver knights kept the Holy Son close to each other.Their usually bulky armor effectively resisted some of the attacks.The combination of shield and sharp sword is like a heavy armored soldier.

"What's the reason? Ahhh, let go of my hand!"

Someone was approached by four or five strange birds, and their claws bound their arms, making him unable to fight back effectively, and then they took him into the sky.

"Help! Ahh—put me down—"

He was thrown down as he wished.The strange bird is aiming at a big stone and throwing it. When they encounter difficult prey, they will choose to drop the prey to death.

But today's prey was even more difficult to deal with. His teammates who knew magic sent a wind to help him land safely.

"Do you still remember the snakes and snake fruit? The situation now is very similar to that at that time." Mo Zifei waved back a strange bird, and saw that everyone had no clue for a long time, so he reminded him aloud.

"Snake fruit?" Captain Lie Yang recalled the inexplicable appearance of the snake fruit. The snake group at that time was chasing and attacking them like this group of strange birds now.

He realized Mo Zifei's meaning, "Check your body for anything you shouldn't have! Something lured this group of strange birds!"

As for whether the original snake group was also deliberately attracted by giant beasts, he was unable to get to the bottom of it.

"Look, what are you looking for? I don't know..." Someone shouted anxiously.

Along the way, a lot of grass clippings and flower juices got on their clothes, how could they know what attracted the strange birds?

Those who were willing to spare, took off their coats and threw them out, and then ran away.The first person to do this found that the strange bird really didn't chase after him any more, and immediately shouted excitedly, "Take off your clothes! Quick, quick!"

However, undressing is just a symptom, and they haven't found the essential reason, so they are destined to take off their clothes and there is no guarantee that they can avoid the attack of the strange bird.

A small half of the people were not chased by the strange bird after fleeing.Some of them took off their clothes, some didn't. Those who were well protected like Shengzi, even the strange bird didn't target him too violently in the beginning.

The other half of the people are still entangled by the strange bird, and some people are useless even if they are naked.The monster bird still attacks when it should attack.

Some people who have left the battle circle, in order to help their teammates, went up to help again, and some seized the time to start looking for the root cause.

Mo Zifei noticed very early on that there were many animal scratches on the cedar trunks in this forest, and the bark was scratched to pieces.He dipped a little tree sap, smelled it, and found it had a delicate, sweet taste, nothing unusual.

What really made him discover the truth was that he saw a snow leopard being attacked by a strange bird.

The snow leopard broke away from the strange bird and rushed into the forest. After rolling around on the ground a few times, it quickly fled to another place.The chasing monster bird wandered around where the snow leopard was rolling for a while, then left.

After the strange bird left, Mo Zifei stepped into that place against the eyeing beast.

Grass clippings, snow, fallen leaves... the only unusual thing is a small piece of dried blood.

Looking back at the torn tree trunk, Mo Zifei's mind flashed.
