Chapter 20 Encounter

  Early the next morning.   The three set out.   Three palm-sized cloud birds stood on the shoulders of each of Lu Qingfeng's three siblings.   Lu Qingyu picked up a nail cap sized yellow chestnut pill from the small cloth bag on his waist and placed it in his palm.   "Ki ki ki ki!"   The cloud sparrow bird on her shoulder let out a happy chirp and swallowed the yellow chestnut pill in a single hover, its small face revealing contentment as it returned to stand on Lu Qingyu's shoulder.   "Little Nine is good."   Lu Qingyu teased the cloud sparrow bird, even the tension of being about to enter the county town dissipated quite a bit.   "Kirik!"   "Kirik!"   Seeing that his partner had yellow chestnut pills to eat, the cloud finch bird on Lu Qingfeng and Lu Qingshan's shoulders got anxious and chirped.   "Qingyu, the Cloud Sparrow Bird is so small, just give it two Yellow Chestnut Pills every day, don't feed it all the time, causing Little Eight to follow!" Lu Qingshan complained, and again had to feed the 'Little Eight' on his shoulder a Yellow Chestnut Pill.   "Little Nine they are working so hard, what's wrong with eating more!"   Lu Qingyu choked, and Little Nine on his shoulder also shook his head at Lu Qingshan in a provocative manner.   Lu Qingfeng had long gotten used to it and shook his head helplessly.   A few months ago, on their way to escape, they saw a nest of lark bird eggs on a tree, as well as an adult lark bird that had died of poison.   Lu Qingyu brought the bird eggs back and carefully incubated them.   After Lu Qingfeng discovered it, he was inspired to study the art of beast mastery in The Flood for a while. Although it wasn't even fur, it wasn't difficult to tame a few Cloud Sparrow Birds.   The nine Cloud Sparrow Birds that hatched were raised by Lu Qingfeng with the Yellow Chestnut Pill that contained a hint of spiritual qi, and had themselves opened up to a hint of spiritual wisdom, being able to understand human speech, and were quite animated.   [Pill: Yellow Chestnut Pill   [Grade: Low]   [Diffraction: Five times strengthened]   [Note: Bird food, used to feed the lark birds]   When they were in the deep mountains, at first they would still be coldly attacked by wild beasts, or they would mistakenly enter the territory of fierce beasts, or they would be caught up by the pursuers of the Returning Truth Sect, and they would not even be able to sleep soundly.   But since the domestication of the lark bird, the situation has greatly improved.   The lark bird was only the size of a palm and did not have any combat power. However, it is fast and can speak human language, so it is the most suitable for scouting.   Once there was a dangerous situation, with the cloud sparrow bird's first warning, the three of them would be able to deal with it comfortably.   The abbreviated map in Lu Qingfeng's hand was also done through the Cloud Sparrow Bird.   "Kirk!"   While the three of them were traveling, a Cloud Sparrow Bird that was scouting ahead returned, traced a beautiful arc in the air, and landed in front of Lu Qingfeng shaking its little head.   Shaking its head meant that there were no humans or large beasts in front of them, so they could pass through peacefully.   With the cloud sparrow bird scouting the way, Lu Qingfeng's trio avoided the wild beasts along the way, and kept moving towards the northeast.   After about ten days or so.   There was finally a change!   "Humans?"   "Five?!"   Lu Qingfeng looked at the cloud sparrow bird that was chirping and reporting in front of him, and his heart gave a beat.   "Big brother, what now?" Lu Qingshan asked out loud.   "Go up and make contact to understand the situation in the neighborhood. If it's someone from the Returning Truth Sect, just kill them! If the opponent is too powerful, use the Earth Escape Talisman to escape!"   [Talisman: Transportation Talisman]   [Grade: Low Level]   [Diffraction: five times strengthened]   [Description: Use to escape from the earth]   Rushing out of the mountains and forests and entering the human gathering place was equally risky. If we could learn some basic information from these five people, it would undoubtedly be more secure.   With the Earth Escape Talisman in hand, there was a good basis for entering and exiting, so I don't think there would be too many mistakes.   "The talismans are all ready, put them in the smoothest position." Lu Qingfeng looked at Qing Shan and Qing Yu and reminded.   "Don't worry big brother, put them in place!"   Lu Qingyu patted the position on his waist and returned.   Lu Qingshan also nodded.   After getting ready, the three of them followed the guidance of the cloud sparrow bird and rushed towards where the five people were in front of them.   ......   "This is already within the boundaries of Zhanjiang County, right?"   "Almost, bypassing the mountain in front of us, then going all the way to the east, it's the border of Interceptor River County. Going north, it's the territory of Hengshan County."   In the mountain forest, five men dressed in rough linen clothes were dressed as townspeople, but their hands were nimble as they traveled through the jungle.   Listening to the conversation of the five men, it seemed that they were going to Hengshan County or Zhanjiang County.   Just don't know what boundaries these two counties belong to.   Suddenly.   The eagle-nosed man in his late thirties at the head of the five raised his hand and said in a low voice, "There is movement!"   The other four immediately stopped and were silent.   It wasn't long.   Bang!   Bang bang!   Bang bang bang!   A burst of heavy footsteps came, the hawk-nosed man Yan Zhang's face changed, and he exclaimed, "Blind bear!"   This kind of footsteps, there was no other possibility except for mountain bears!   Yan Zhang held his breath.   "Kirk!"   But a lark bird chirped overhead, breaking the calm.   Rumble!   The sound of footsteps came closer!   "Damn!"   "Run!"   Yan Zhang cursed angrily, his foot clicked on the tree, and he took the road and ran wildly. The mountain bear's defense was strong and powerful, even if he was hiding sharp blades and had kung fu, he didn't dare to fight hard.   "Run!"   The other four people are also shocked, see Yan Zhang ran, followed by a wild run.   Anyone who lags half a step behind will be reduced to mountain bear rations!   Boom boom boom!   Behind the movement came, Yan Zhang turned back to look, only to see a nearly ten feet tall black bear a leap of several feet, pounced over.   It was horrifying to the extreme!   The five people fled in haste!   At this time, three figures appeared in front of the side - two teenagers, and a young girl of eleven or twelve years old.   This combination appeared rather odd in the middle of the deep mountains.   "Are they the townspeople from the nearby villages?"   "Use them to distract the blind bear!"   Yan Zhang's mind raced and he immediately responded. He reversed his direction and ran straight towards the three people. The other four people understood and followed.   Lu Qingfeng looked at the five people running head on and sighed in relief.   He was worried that he didn't know how to get the information about the earth boundary from these five people without any reason, and it was not good to use violent means. Now, since the five people were evil-minded, there was no need to worry about any means.   "Qing Shan, Qing Yu, protect yourself."   Lu Qingfeng's Heaven's Eye Technique swept through and found that the cultivation level of these five people was about the same as the peripheral law enforcement team of the Returning Truth Sect, and the strongest middle-aged man with the hawkish nose was only at the third level of the Fetal Breath Realm.   With his current strength, even if there were three or five times more, he would be able to take them down with ease.   "Good!"   Lu Qingshan and Lu Qingyu answered, cupping Golden Light Talismans in their hands to defend against all enemies.   Lu Qingfeng, on the other hand, stood at the very front, holding the brightly shining Nine Ring Sword in his hand!   The Authentic Grade 'Qing Yuan Sword Skill', together with the five times strengthened 'Cloak Blade Technique', was more than enough to deal with these few people who were even afraid of the black bears!   "Kid! Get out of the way!"   Yan Zhang's rampage, drawing the black bears behind him to this direction where Lu Qingfeng's trio was wasn't even enough, as he shouted violently under his breath, he actually tried to pass right through the middle of Lu Qingfeng and the rest of them.   In his hand, a short blade with a cold flashing light was half exposed.   Killing intent shrouded it!   Obviously.   This person did not place Lu Qingfeng and the others in his eyes.   That being said, after all, it was just two teenagers, plus an eleven or twelve year old yellow-haired girl, what could they be capable of?
