Chapter 477 Blackbird's Revenge
Chapter 477 Blackbird's Revenge
Lei Xiu's unusual behavior didn't last long. Before he had even finished his meal, there was no sign of anything amiss, at least not on the surface.
Lezhi wanted to ask, but the best opportunity had already passed.
There was nothing he could do; his entire focus was on eating at the time, and by the time he remembered, Lei Xiu had already calmed down, so he didn't know how to ask.
I went to sleep with a heavy heart, thinking I wouldn't be able to sleep, but I actually slept very well. When I opened my eyes, it was already fully light, and the other people in the camp had already started their activities. Occasionally, the chirping of birds could be heard, and the noise was lively and bustling.
Wait a minute, birds and animals are calling?
Her pure white eyes suddenly opened, meeting the gaze of the little black bean-like eyes beside her pillow.
Okay, the fluff ball is still there, so what's outside must be the cola, right? Hmm, wait a minute...
As consciousness gradually returned, the sounds outside became clearer.
"Ah, ah..."
"Chirp chirp... Cry!"
"........."
? ! ! !
This was clearly not a sound a bird could make. The eyes of both the person and the bird gradually widened in fear. Lezhi quickly tidied herself up, and Maoqiu casually pulled open the tent flap. Light streamed in, and at the same time, the chaotic campsite outside came into view.
"Hey, stop that bird! Don't let it cause any more damage. If it spills the food again, we won't have anything to eat this morning."
"Ah...ah..."
"Oh, I've already apologized, that's enough, why are you still so persistent..."
"Lieyu, you deserve it! Who told you to be so impulsive..."
"Stop talking nonsense and get to work."
"what…………"
boom……
The screams of birds and beasts echoed through the sky. As soon as Lezhi stood still, he saw a large black bird fall vertically like a cannonball.
…………
"So, you came to retaliate because you were attacked by him for no reason, not to cause trouble on purpose."
"Ah, ah..."
With his arms crossed and a ball of fur on his head, Lezhi was talking to the culprit who had caused chaos in the camp.
—A large bird, entirely black, with feathers, a sharp beak, claws, and eyes that are all uniformly black.
Compared to it, Lezhi realized that their Cola wasn't black enough. At least Cola's color still showed some layers. It was estimated that the color scheme would be finalized after it molted its feathers again, but one thing was certain: it wouldn't be as black as the bird in front of them.
However, what caught Lezhi's attention, besides the bird's unique color scheme, was its intelligence.
Yes, it was the first time he had ever felt so comfortable conversing with birds and beasts.
Intelligent; this impression was deeply etched into Lezhi's mind shortly after the conversation began.
Because the bird was intelligent and rational enough, it didn't hesitate for long before accepting the bird's request to talk, realizing that Lezhi's ability to communicate with it was causing huge trouble for the camp and that the bird had no intention of stopping.
And so, we have the present.
Hearing the story of the attack from the bird, Lezhi looked at Lieyu with a half-smile.
So you were the culprit!
Under the condemning gazes of the crowd, Lie Yu shrank back, glanced at the captain whose face was somewhat dark, then at Lie Zhi, and whispered in his defense, "I didn't do it on purpose. I just noticed something was wrong while on patrol, so I went to check it out, and then..."
"It turned out to be a bird or beast that shouldn't be here. Out of curiosity, you tentatively launched an attack..."
"........."
Not speaking is the default.
Le Zhi suppressed a laugh. He couldn't be blamed; Lie Yu looked rather pathetic now, after all, he was Blackbird's main target for revenge.
Lie Zhao glared at Lie Yu, then stepped forward helplessly. "Since it's a misunderstanding, let's talk it out. I intervened to prevent things from escalating further. If they're not satisfied, they can ask for any compensation they want. As long as it's not too excessive, I can accept it."
As the guardian responsible for the safety of an entire battalion, Lieyu's caution was certainly justified.
His mistake was launching an attack without fully understanding the situation.
Birds and animals are rarely seen on the Yanyang Plain, but that doesn't mean there's a problem if they do appear.
In particular, the tree spirits and birds and beasts have always kept to themselves, so it's unreasonable for them to take the initiative to attack.
If they encounter birds or beasts with gentle temperaments, they'll simply retaliate briefly and then retreat.
This is also the result that Lieyu most hoped for.
No one expected that the black bird he encountered would be such a fierce one.
It not only has a bad temper, but also holds grudges, and its attack power is not weak.
Although the Golden Armor Clan is immune to attacks from birds and beasts because of their copper skin and iron bones, if they can't harm people, can't they harm other things?
After realizing that attacking people was not very effective, the clever bird immediately changed its target, ruining the food that the group had just taken out to prepare for breakfast all over the ground, and also messing up their tents that had not yet been packed up.
Even worse, this bird uses aerial droppings to attack, occasionally sending down a stray dropping, which is what drives them crazy the most.
If you're going to fight, then fight. What's the point of being disgusting?
No wonder their elders repeatedly warned them not to provoke birds and beasts.
For the tree spirits, who are naturally fond of cleanliness, such an attack method is indeed somewhat beyond acceptable limits.
No wonder Lieyu has become the target of public criticism.
Fortunately, the birds were clear about their grudges and only harmed the Golden Armor Clan. Their camp was some distance away, so the birds judged that they were not together and did not cross the border to attack.
This is how a patch of pure land was barely preserved.
After Lezhi left, at least he still had a place to stand.
It's too late to hold anyone accountable now. Things have already turned out this way. The bird has already sought justice for itself, and Lieyu and the Golden Armor Clan have also paid the price. What Lezhi needs to do is mediate.
Actually, before he came out, Lei Xiu had already tried to get Cola to come forward and help, but the effect was not as immediate as when Le Zhi came forward.
After discovering that Lezhi could communicate smoothly with birds and animals, no one else present showed any unusual reaction. Perhaps because of the example set by Maoqiu and Kele, they assumed it was Lezhi's talent.
Hinting to Lie Zhao that there was nothing to worry about, Lezhi turned around and began to comfort the black bird.
"...Now that you've vented your anger and the apology was sincere, let's just let this matter drop. By the way, have you eaten breakfast yet? If not, we're about to have breakfast, do you want to join us?"
In his mind, no conflict can't be resolved with a meal; if one meal isn't enough, then two will do.
Human life is nothing more than eating and drinking, and this is even more true for animals.
This trick worked! It vented its anger, got revenge, and the culprit apologized. Although it had just been thrown around badly, the bird said it had no complaints for Lezhi's sake. Xiangxiang, an alien, invited it to dinner, which it certainly couldn't miss.
"Ah, ah..."
Um, it's the sound of the blackbird, it's really a bit creepy.
Having promised to treat everyone to a meal, Lezhi had no intention of lying. However, before eating, he needed to deal with the mess that the Golden Armor Clan had left behind.
Everything else was fine, but the excrement was unbearable. Luckily, they chose a location near the water first, otherwise, if the water source had been polluted, this matter would not have been so easily forgotten.
It's also possible that the Blackbird thought things through before attacking and aimed quite accurately.
With its intelligence, it's quite possible. Lezhi stood at the edge of the camp, looking at the tragic scene, shaking his head, but in his heart he had a clear understanding of the blackbird's sense of propriety.
"Lezhi, don't bother with this. We'll handle the trouble caused by our people, it just might take a little time."
Actually, you can just leave the excrement there. This is the wild, and nature has a strong self-cleaning ability. After a while, there won't be any traces left.
But this oasis is close to the Yanyang Plain and is the only way for the tribesmen to enter the Yanyang Plain. This open space is also a rare and suitable campsite. They cannot be so inconsiderate.
So Lie Zhao decided to use breakfast time to lead the team to clean up the place.
If they did that, they wouldn't have time to eat breakfast, and even Lie Zhao was worried that there wouldn't be enough time and they would be late for their departure.
Lezhi wasn't considering that. Leaving earlier or later wouldn't cause much of a delay; at worst, they could stay an extra day. What he was curious about was something else: "What are you planning to do?"
It's not what he thinks, is it?
Lie Zhao's answer confirmed his thoughts; they really were planning to use the simplest and most foolish method—to just bury it!
"That's too inefficient. I have an idea..."
Fine, considering how hard the Golden Armor Clan had worked to escort him all this way, he'll do this one good deed for the day!
