Chapter 279 Big Fat Bird

Three hours later——

Everyone stood in front of a forest, with monster corpses all over the ground behind them.

"This is it!" Xiao Jie said as he looked at the gloomy forest in front of him.

The Soul-Breaking Forest is a wild place located in the northwest of Canglin Prefecture. It is full of towering trees, dense woods, primitive mountains, and monsters. Ying Baiyu became a monster here and gathered a group of monster subordinates, including many bird monsters.

Xiao Jie and his companions were attacked many times by these flying monsters along the way.

For this purpose, everyone changed to long-range weapons. Fantang Fagao and An Ran also summoned their respective pets, a giant eagle and a big crow.

Even so, the battle is still very difficult. The monsters on the ground are easy to deal with, but those flying in the sky are more troublesome. It is basically impossible to attack them unless they land. Even if they land, they will generally hover in the sky and swoop down to attack, which is quite troublesome to deal with.

Fortunately, although these bird monsters can fly, if you want to attack them you still have to engage in close combat. Some of them can also launch feathers for long-range attacks, and their attack range is no longer than that of a bow and arrow, so although it is a bit harder to fight them, it is not impossible to fight them.

I killed quite a few monsters along the way.

However, looking at the dense forest in front of them, everyone began to worry. Once they entered the Soul-Breaking Forest, even if they entered the monster's lair, it was very likely to trigger a monster tide.

Moreover, this game is not about crushing opponents simply by having a high level and good equipment. Many conditions such as terrain, field of vision, and the first and last moves will affect the outcome of the battle.

Even though Xiao Jie's team is strong, it is still very dangerous to rashly enter this dense forest and be attacked by groups of bird monsters.

Hao Mie said in a deep voice: "As usual, we scout the terrain first and then make plans. Who will come this time?"

This is also what the title implies. The previous two BOSS battles were like this. It is said that one should plan before taking action.

Xiao Jie said, "Let me do it this time."

"You?" Haomie was a little surprised.

Others were also quite surprised. This person's level of strength was recognized by everyone, but they still didn't expect that Xiao Jie could also conduct reconnaissance.

Haomie asked doubtfully, "What are you going to do? There are many flying monsters in this forest. It's not easy to deal with them just because you have good Qinggong skills."

Ye Luo also said: "Why don't I go? I can sneak in."

"Haha, don't worry, everyone. Only I can do this, because not only do I have to investigate, but I also have to make sure the boss is there. As for how I'm going to investigate, just watch."

As Xiao Jie spoke, he walked to the edge of the forest. As he was about to enter the Soul-Breaking Forest, he equipped the Phantom Spirit Pearl.

Then directly activate the equipment special effect of the Phantom Pearl - transform into human form!
[Transform into human form: Allows you to randomly transform into a human form and make it fit in with the surrounding environment. ]

With a puff, Xiao Jie was covered with white mist. When the mist dissipated, he turned into a half-human, half-bird monster.

With fluffy feathers and a pair of cute big eyes, it looks a little silly and inexplicably funny.

It looks a bit like the Eagle in The Return of the Condor Heroes - the one played by Louis Koo.

It's a bit like the Cuckoo in World of Warcraft.

Looks very wise.

Xiao Jie tried to operate it and found that only his appearance had changed. In essence, he was still the same himself. He could even use his wings as hands to hold weapons.

He tried to fly again, but found that the wings were just for show and could not fly at all. Each jump was just a flap.

Fortunately, the Qinggong can still be used. I did Feiyun Zhuyue and then Yanxing. You know what, looking at the fat bird spreading its wings and gliding in the sky, it really looks like it is flying.

Okay, that's about it.

"Brother Feng, what kind of magic is this?" Drunken Swordsman asked in surprise.

An Ran was even more surprised. "I said, you can actually turn into a bird? I haven't even learned how to turn into a bird yet, where did you learn this magic?"

"It's just equipment and skills. You guys level up here first. I'll go in and investigate. I might stay for a long time. Contact me through YY."

Xiao Jie said this and walked into the forest on his own.

Xiao Jie was still somewhat nervous. Although he had transformed, it was still hard to say whether he could hide from the monster's eyes. He placed the invisibility talisman and escape talisman in his bag in the shortcut bar, ready to use at any time.

Not long after walking, a strange cry sounded above my head - "Quack."

The cry was very familiar. It was a common monster in the Soul-Breaking Forest - the Bone-Eating Bird.

We killed quite a few on the way here. They were some kind of demonized birds.

He looked up and saw a bone-eating monster bird looking at him warily.

Xiao Jie was not in a hurry and directly activated the beast language technique. In this monster group of monsters, there are often two types of monsters, demons and monsters. Demons are more advanced and can transform into human form to a certain extent. They are also more intelligent and can even communicate like humanoid monsters.

As for the monster, it is a completely demonized beast.

The thing in front of us is obviously the latter.

Bone-chewing Bird: Level 18, HP 460.

"Good morning, have you eaten?" said the bone-eating monster bird.

Xiao Jie thought that this bird was quite polite, and immediately replied: "Good morning, I haven't eaten yet."

"Quack, big fat bird, did you see anyone coming?"

"I see. Those people are outside. They look delicious."

"Quack, yummy, I want to eat it, where is it?"

"It's just outside the woods. Just keep flying out. It's in the southwest direction."

The bone-eating monster bird was eager to fly over and catch him, but hesitated for a moment, and suddenly looked at him warily, "Gua, why don't you fly?"

"I ate too much and got too fat, so I couldn't fly."

"Quack, quack, so funny, so funny, the big fat bird can't fly, so fat, so stupid." It flew away with a strange laugh.

Xiao Jie was speechless. Okay, I take back what I said before. The local monsters are too rude.

But fortunately, it seems that the magical effect of this Phantom Pearl can be judged by monsters.

Xiao Jie continued to move forward. The further he went, the more birds there were on the trees. At first, they were all demonized birds, such as bone-eating demon birds, bloodthirsty demon birds, and bone-chiseling demon birds.

Soon some real bird monsters appeared.

Eagles, vultures, crows... there is even a monster eagle, all kinds of them, looking half human, half bird.

Circling in the air or landing on the branches of big trees, the sky above your head is full of red dots when you look around.

Xiao Jie felt a little nervous. No matter how confident he was in the magical effect of the Magic Pearl, he was still a little scared walking alone among the monsters.

Fortunately, although these monsters looked curious at Xiao Jie, no one attacked him.

Xiao Jie also noticed that there were some monsters on the ground. For example, next to a row of wooden cages not far away, Xiao Jie saw a two-meter-tall rooster, which was holding its waist and sighing at the sky.

"None of these guys are good birds. Is it a big deal that they can fly? They actually let me do such menial tasks as picking wild fruits and chestnuts. This is ridiculous. My ancestor is a famous monster!" As he spoke, he poured the fruits collected in the basket into a large bamboo basket for storage.

Suddenly he turned his head 180 degrees and looked at Xiao Jie behind him.

"Hey, you look a little unfamiliar, friend?"

"Hey, I'm a new member, but I eat a lot. Look at my body shape?"

The big rooster nodded. The difference between this monster and a demon is mainly in the change of body shape. Demons are generally humanoid creatures. Even if they have a cow's head and a horse's mouth, they generally have the outline of a human. With a set of clothes, there is no difference between them and humans.

However, once a monster eats a human, its body shape will gradually change, either bigger or smaller, in short, it will become less and less like a human. Moreover, monsters generally do not wear clothes. Xiao Jie's current appearance is 70% not like a human.

"Hey, brother, you are so miserable too, are you being laughed at?"

"Oh, isn't it? These flat-haired beasts are really abominable. They can fly, birds can fly, what's so great about that? On the contrary, people like us who are down-to-earth are worth a fortune."

"Oh oh! Brother, you are so right. These guys flying around in the sky don't know how to be down-to-earth and be human - no, not a monster." The big rooster rarely met a monster friend who shared the same suffering, and he complained bitterly.

It turns out that this big rooster was originally a ruffian from a nearby city. Because he owed a lot of gambling debts, he was forced to eat his creditors and ran to this Soul-Breaking Forest to become a demon.

Although it is a bird demon, it cannot fly and can only walk like a chicken. As a result, it is looked down upon by the monsters here and can only do odd jobs.

Xiao Jie tried to ask some questions, and the two of them chatted back and forth, and soon they were getting along well.

Perhaps it's because they share the same suffering, these free-range chickens can talk about anything.

"Where's our boss?"

"It's in the house. You know that."

Xiao Jie looked in the direction the big rooster pointed, and saw that a huge tree house had been opened up on the thickest tree. It was particularly conspicuous among the bird monsters that didn't even have a bird's nest.

It seems that this should be the BOSS room, but how can I get in to find Ying Baiyu without attracting attention?

As I was thinking about it, I heard a shrill bird cry coming from behind me.

"Quack, quack! Look! Look!"

When Xiao Jie turned around, he saw several bird monsters, accompanied by a group of bone-eating monster birds, escorting a group of "humans" in.

Among them was the one that had previously talked to Xiao Jie.

Damn, they actually caught me?

These humans were obviously local residents of Canglin Prefecture. Some of them had sheep-headed and ox-headed people, and were dressed in rags. They seemed to be farmers. There was also a fat pig-headed person in a brocade robe, who was looking at the monsters around him in panic.

Seeing the food, the bird monsters on the treetops circled and flew over.

"Where did you catch this human?"

"It's right on the edge of the woods. It came from the village in the south. It's delicious. Guagua, delicious."

The surrounding bird monsters hovered and landed on the surrounding branches, staring at these "humans" with eager eyes.

"Eat! Eat!"

"Don't be so hasty to eat it. Let the king take a look first."

"If the king doesn't eat, we will! We will eat!"

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

The bird monsters all croaked and screamed, it was really noisy.

"Shut up, you bunch of idiots!" Then an eagle's cry was heard and the whole place fell silent.

Then I saw a figure appear at the edge of the bird's nest.

He leaped forward and slowly landed like an angel descending to earth.

Xiao Jie took a look and immediately praised him inwardly for being such a handsome boss.

Unlike the half-human, half-beast forms of Niu Dali and Li Jinlin before, even before the transformation, he was still in the shape of a monster.

At first glance, the Ying Baiyu in front of him has a human appearance, with a handsome face and flowing black hair, but he has a pair of black eagle wings behind his back and white feathers growing behind his ears, revealing his identity as a monster.

Xiao Jie was not surprised by this. The longer the three heavenly books were cultivated, the more human-like their appearance became. There were many people in Xiaoyue City who looked mostly like humans, but still retained one or two animal features.

Some monsters even have completely human appearance, such as Master Xiaoyue.

It seems that Ying Baiyu is also very proficient in practicing the Heavenly Book.

Even though he has turned into a monster now, he still retains most of his human form.

However, it stands to reason that a youkai will quickly turn into a monster after transforming into a demon. Why can this guy still maintain such a complete human form?
Ying Baiyu asked coldly: "Why are you making so much noise?"

A crow monster explained: "My king, we captured some humans to improve our food."

The largest eagle monster grinned and said, "That's right, you've come at the right time. We were just about to pick one to present to the king. Since the king is here, just pick one. I think this one is good, with lean meat and the most chewy texture." Then he pointed to the thinnest sheep-headed man.

Ying Baiyu didn't say anything and slowly walked past the humans.

He pointed at a goat-headed man and asked, "Who are you?"

The sheep-headed man was almost pissing himself with fear. "Your Majesty, I am a farmer from the farm. Because the rent is too high this year, I can't make a living, so I thought of hiding in the woods, but was captured by the general under your command."

Ying Baiyu sighed after hearing this, "Don't you know there are monsters in the Broken Soul Forest?"

"I know, I know, but if you can't pay the rent, you will be beaten to death. If you enter the Forest of Judgment, you can always live a few more days. If you are lucky, you may even survive for a month or so. But if you are caught by the owner of the manor, you will definitely die. I can only take a gamble."

Xiao Jie thought to himself, how tragic! A harsh government is worse than a demon.

Ying Baiyu pointed at another minotaur.

"What about you?"

"I am also a farmer in the village, I came out to avoid paying rent."

I asked several questions in a row, and most of them were similar situations.

Ying Baiyu asked: "Are you willing to stay and become demons?"

"If you become a monster, you won't be able to enter the ancestral tomb when you die."

"Yes, my king. My father said that I would never become a demon even if I was beaten to death."

The bird monsters nearby couldn't hold back any longer.

"My king, why waste time talking to them? It's better to eat some meat instead."

"Eat meat! Eat meat! Eat meat!"

"Let's eat some meat!" Xiao Jie also shouted, fearing that his plan would be discovered.

"Shut up!" Ying Baiyu snorted in disgust, his eyes swept over the monsters one by one. When he saw Xiao Jie, he was obviously stunned for a moment, but he quickly ignored it.

The gaze was extremely cold and fierce, carrying a murderous intent. The monsters were all speechless after being glared at by Ying Baiyu.

Ying Baiyu said calmly: "They are all poor people, send them away."

The other monsters didn't dare to say anything, but the eagle monster said angrily, "What, my king, are you crazy? You don't eat it yourself, but you don't let us eat it either. What's the point of being a monster?"

"Are you questioning me?"

The eagle was obviously a little indignant. "So what? You have only worked in the Tianyu Army for a few years. I don't think you are that strong..."

Puff! A black light flashed, and an eagle feather shot into the eagle's chest like an arrow. The eagle was very angry and flapped its wings to gain height, but Ying Baiyu flapped his wings and rushed to the eagle monster in an instant. He raised his hand and stretched out a ferocious eagle claw.

Eagle Claw Throat Lock!
He grabbed the eagle's neck and made it unable to move.

He sneered and said, "Since you are seeking death, I will grant your wish!"

The eagle monster wanted to fight back, flapping its wings and struggling with its hands and claws, but it was meaningless in the face of absolute power.

Ying Baiyu's other eagle claw suddenly stabbed into the eagle monster's chest.

Eagle claws dig out the heart!
-
432 (vital hit)!

Puff, it was killed instantly. Throwing the bloody corpse on the ground, Ying Baiyu sneered, "It seems that we really need to eat meat today. Guys, what are you waiting for? Let's eat."

The monsters around rushed forward and cut the eagle into pieces in an instant.
