It was nearly evening, and the setting sun was like blood.
On the top of the low peak, hidden among the lush trees, are twenty figures, none other than Tang Huan, Li Tianen, Hu Kai, Shen You and others.
It took five full days for everyone to get here.
"The 'Wind Chime Crane' should be dispatched soon."
Li Tianen gave instructions gently, staring intensely at the huge pothole a thousand meters ahead. The pothole was red, extremely deep, and seemed to have heat rising continuously. However, within tens of meters around the pothole, it was all bare and barren of grass.
"Ding ding! ding ding..." After a while, a ringing sound suddenly spread from the pit, like beads falling on a jade plate, extremely clear and crisp.
"coming!"
Everyone was refreshed and held their breath.
After a while, red figures flew out of the pit. It was a giant fiery red bird with slender legs and neck and a huge body. There was no color on the whole body. There was a round fleshy crown the size of a fist on the top of its head. The blood beads to be collected for this mission were inside.
After capturing the "Wind Chime Flamingo" alive, cut open the flesh crown to obtain blood beads. After the wound heals, in another five or six years, new blood beads will be produced.
After a while, hundreds of "Wind Chime Flamingos" appeared high in the sky.
“Ding ding—”
With a clear chirping sound, three fiery red figures suddenly swooped down from the peak where Tang Huan, Li Tianen and others were.
At this moment, a few pebble-like objects were scattered in the open space between several big trees, each one as bright red as fire and as big as a fist.
There seemed to be clouds floating inside the stone, and a hot breath seeped out all the time.
They are the "Red Cloud Fire Crystal", a type of crystal derived from extremely hot places, which has a fatal attraction for the "Wind Chime Fire Crane".
Every time a mission like this is carried out, dozens of "Red Cloud Fire Crystals" need to be prepared, but in the end, less than ten can be left.
"call!"
The three "Wind Chime Cranes" were extremely fast. In an instant, they were only a hundred meters away from the top of the mountain.
Everyone was focused and did not dare to make any sound. They had to take action before the "Red Cloud Fire Crystal" was swallowed by the "Wind Chime Fire Crane". If eaten, the "Red Cloud Fire Crystal" will melt quickly, and even if the flamingo is killed, it will be impossible to take it out again.
“Ding ding—”
But just when everyone was expecting the "Wind Chime Fire Crane" to tear apart the branches and leaves above the "Red Cloud Fire Crystal" and plunge into the forest, the three fiery red figures suddenly turned around and shot straight into the sky, leaving only a string of crisp and clear traces. The sound of the sound made everyone stare in the forest.
Li Tianen didn't say anything, he just signaled everyone to be calm and continued to lurk.
"Ding Ding! Ding Ding..."
After about ten breaths, the clear cry approached again, and another fiery red figure approached, and there were ten "Wind Chime Flamingos".
However, the scene that happened before quickly happened again.
Those "Wind Chime Cranes" also flew past about a hundred meters away from the peak, and then rushed up to a thousand meters in the air.
If it was just once or twice, that would be enough, but not long after, this scene appeared more than ten times in a row. The "Wind Chime Crane" swooping down, either three or two, or dozens of them, all held back. The temptation of "Red Cloud Fire Crystal" is just to look at it from above, but not to eat it.
The old team members such as Luo Xingkong and Tong Ge were still able to maintain their composure, but some of the new team members who joined the 50th team were a little unable to keep their composure.
And when this situation happened dozens of times in a row, even Li Tianen and Hu Kai began to worry.
Tang Huan and Shen You couldn't help but look at each other. On the way here, they had heard Li Tianen and others say countless times that the "Wind Chime Crane" was very spiritual and very alert. Judging from their behavior during this period, it turned out that they were unusually alert. There was no sign of wanting to enter the forest.
"Ding ding..."
More intensive chirping sounds approached the peak. At least hundreds of "Wind Chime Cranes" rushed down, pairs of huge wings flapping at the same time, strong winds roared. At the top of the peak, the sky was full of fallen leaves, and the trees were all facing towards the peak. He fell down in the same direction, and the "Red Clouds Fire Crystal" on the ground was also blown away.
"oops!"
A member of the Tianyu Peak team couldn't help but let out a low cry when he saw this. He subconsciously rushed out from his hiding place, jumped into the air, and grabbed the "Red Cloud Fire Crystals" one by one. Almost at the same time, the hundreds of "Wind Chime Fire Cranes" also traced an arc-shaped trajectory and climbed rapidly.
As soon as the team member landed, he seemed to realize something and stood still in a daze.
"Exposed!"
Hu Kai punched the ground and jumped up in frustration. Li Tianen and others also walked out of their hiding place one after another. At this moment, almost all the "Wind Chime Cranes" flew over, crowing triumphantly at an altitude of a thousand meters, and the sound was deafening.
Everyone's faces turned dark, they were actually being laughed at by a group of ferocious beasts.
"Yes... I'm sorry..." The team member was dejected and extremely apologetic.
"Don't blame yourself, I can't blame you for this."
Li Tianen smiled bitterly and waved his hand, comforting, "Even if you don't take action, I will take action after a while. Otherwise, these 'Red Clouds Fire Crystals' will probably be eaten by the 'Wind Chime Fire Crane' soon. Unexpectedly, These guys are so alert, so savvy."
Having said that, there was still a trace of regret in his eyes.
When Tang Huan heard this, he couldn't help but said: "Captain, they should have discovered that there is a trap down here."
"oh?"
Li Tianen was startled.
Tang Huan mused: "When Ban Lei showed up to collect the 'Red Cloud Fire Crystal', the group of 'Wind Chime Fire Cranes' above didn't panic at all. I guess they knew someone was hiding here."
"Listening to what you said, it's really true."
Li Tianen frowned and said, "About ten years ago, a team came here to collect flamingo blood beads. It seems that they still remember it."
Looking up at the "Wind Chime Crane" flying in the sky, Li Tianen said helplessly, "Everyone, we have to change places."
"Going to 'Wolong Valley'?" Hu Kai said hesitantly.
"We can only go there." Li Tianen sighed, "The blood beads of the 'Wind Chime Crane' in other places have been collected, and we are afraid that it will be difficult for us to succeed again. Even if we can succeed a few times occasionally, there will be no success in a year. Time, I’m afraid it will be very difficult to complete this mission.”
Everyone was helpless.
There are only a dozen or so known flamingo nests in total. There are only two places where blood beads have not been collected. One is the "Wolong Valley" mentioned by Li Tianen and Hu Kai. From here they arrived at "Wolong Valley" "Valley" will take at least twenty days, and there is another place that may not be accessible in a month. The most important thing is that these two flamingo nests are located deeper in the Yanlong Mountains and are very dangerous.
"Captain, it's not that far yet."
Tang Huan's eyes flashed slightly, and he suddenly said, "I have a way, which may help us collect enough flamingo blood beads here." (To be continued)
