Chapter 004: Thorn Bird
But Delhi was so honest, and Ling Feng obviously underestimated his preference for monsters. When he heard Ling Feng say he had met, Delhi's excited expression was undoubtedly revealed. He immediately asked, "What did you meet?"
Ling Feng felt so depressed that he lowered his head and continued to prepare for the lying language with some difficulty.
The others were not as brainless as Delhi, and it was obvious that Ling Feng's hesitation was seen.
"Derry!" Li Lin shouted. At this time, he felt that it was inappropriate to gather so many people to ask. After all, Li Lin was more experienced in dealing with people. Ling Feng, a young man, looked very strong. If he met some low-level monsters, it would be just to increase embarrassment. Rona and others also had this kind of thought. So they all looked at Delhi a little angrily. However, Qianqian seemed to be curious about Ling Feng.
"This, I rarely go out. I don't know what that kind of monster is called." Ling Feng could only make an excuse for himself. "It looks like an ordinary bird, but it is bigger than a bird, so big." Ling Feng stood up and stroked the approximate size, and then continued, "The eyes are crimson, with a scarlet crown on the head, and its pointed mouth is open. The feathers are gorgeous, especially the tail part, which is colorful and beautiful. We met four of them at once. Under their attack, my companions and I were dispersed, and the injuries on my body were also caused by them. It took me a lot of effort to escape."
Ling Feng didn't lie about this passage. He did meet four, and he met them as soon as he traveled over. Ling Feng suspected that he fell directly into their nest and was attacked by them fiercely. He chased him for a long time.
Most of his injuries were also given by this kind of bird. Of course, Ling Feng had suffered severe internal injuries when he came through. If he hadn't been sneaking out while running away, and then killed the last one with all his internal strength, Ling Feng would have become the food of the monster now.
Of course, if it hadn't been for meeting Qianqian and others, Ling Feng would probably have been treated as food by other monsters. Because at that time, Ling Feng knew very well that he had no combat power at all.
The reason he mentioned this kind of bird now is entirely because he himself wanted to know what kind of monster it is, which is so powerful. This is something he has never seen on earth. And if he wants to lie, he usually says nine true words, and one false sentence, then it will not be easily exposed.
I believe that after hearing this, everyone would take the initiative to ignore what he said about having parted with friends and focus on the monster. This is also Ling Feng's purpose.
But the expressions on everyone's faces were all weird. The atmosphere was very wrong for a moment. The scene was so quiet that you could hear your breathing.
Ling Feng muttered in his heart when he saw this, could it be that he was not clear enough about the description of the monster? But that look was indeed just like that. Just when he was confused, Qianqian gently pulled him and asked in a low voice: "Like a bird, sharp-mouthed, scarlet eyes?"
Ling Feng glanced at Qianqian strangely, then nodded. Qianqian asked again: "The tail is very beautiful and colorful?"
"Yes, what's wrong?" Ling Feng began to ask in confusion.
Qianqian sighed, as if she was unwilling to give up a book from her backpack, turned over a few pages, handed it to Ling Feng, pointed to the page and asked, "Is it such a monster?"
Ling Feng saw a black and white picture, which looked like the monster he had seen. So he nodded solemnly and replied: "That's right, it should be it!"
As soon as the words finished, everyone's eyes changed significantly, not a look of fear, but a look of surprise and incredible. One of the young mercenaries even showed a slight sneer on their faces, and they sneered: "If you don't want to say that you have encountered, we won't force you. But there is no need for you to fool us by meeting a few low-level thorn birds." There was a strong dissatisfaction in their tone.
Delhi, who had thought of seeing the middle and high-level monsters, looked disappointed, and even the group leader Li Lin's eyes were full of doubts when he looked at him.
Ling Feng was really stunned this time, almost unbelievable. The monster that made him almost die was actually the low-level monster they said. He had thought that his lies would be found by the sophisticated Li Lin, and even thought of some lies about his team to make up for possible questions. However, now it was a fatal blow to him in the most real part he said. So, his face was stunned.
Then, Ling Feng looked carefully at the black and white picture. Below it, there were a few lines of small words: Thorn birds, first-level monsters, in groups of three or five, with little strength and bad temper. He lives by eating various small insects growing on thorns, which poses a certain threat to ordinary civilians.
After looking at it for a while, Ling Feng sighed softly and said dejectedly: "I'm a little tired, I want to go and take a rest first." There was an indescribable sense of sadness in his tone.
Seeing his appearance, everyone lost the interest of continuing to ask. Qianqian glanced at Delhi. Although Delhi was a little disappointed with Ling Feng's statement, he still couldn't bear to caress the little princess Qianqian, so he stood up and said, "Why not, let's live in a tent with me tonight."
Ling Feng glanced at Qianqian, obviously noticed her little behavior, smiled bitterly at her gratefully, then nodded slightly at Delhi, and said, "I'll bother you."
Seeing Ling Feng so polite, Delhi said honestly: "There is no trouble or not, come with me." As he said that, he took the lead and led Ling Feng out.
Everyone was silent for a moment, and Mickey suddenly asked, "Is it really a thornbird? Could he be lying?"
"Probably not," Ramos said. "He doesn't look like a lie."
"Well, when I helped him heal, I found that there was no fighting spirit in his body, nor the fluctuations of magic elements. So I think it is very likely that he can't deal with the Thorn Bird personally." Rona said.
Li Lin thought about it and said, "I wonder if you have noticed that Ling Feng's eyes and hair are black. This is rare in the mainland. Only some secret clans and people from Gaochang in the eastern part of the mainland will do this. Looking at his words and deeds, he is more elegant, but his understanding of the outside world is very limited, and he doesn't even know the thorn bird. Anyone who walks around the mainland will definitely not do this. Therefore, it is more likely that he is a child of the hidden family."
"Didn't it mean that the children of the hidden family are all outstanding in strength?" Ramos asked.
"Haha, that's in general." Li Lin's words are not difficult to understand as Ling Feng is an extraordinary type. "As for his friends, they should be similar to him, or they are from the same place. Young people, who are always ignorant of the world, have come to the forest of monsters. Perhaps, you can grow up with some lessons." As he said that, Li Lin also looked at his daughter. Isn't that the case? He always has to worry himself.
After listening to Li Lin's explanation, everyone accepted this statement. Ling Feng's demeanor, words and deeds, etc., thought carefully, it was really different from everyone. With his dark eyes, everyone's doubts gradually became smaller.
Afterwards, everyone naturally started to discuss the secret clans that Li Lin said. Li Lin did not hide his own personal information and introduced some strange people, some were rich in the world and lived in seclusion, some escaped from war and lived in seclusion, and some were purely interested in natural and peaceful life, which allowed the young mercenaries to gain a lot of knowledge.
