Because the distance is still far, it is impossible to accurately judge the specific number of birders. It is roughly estimated that there should be thirty or forty, or thirty or forty people. It is difficult to define whether they are humans or birds like this.

These birds did not move fast, and the reason they did not fly quickly is that most of them were in a weight-bearing state, with at least more than half of the birds carrying injured companions and the bodies of their dead companions.

Whether a population rescues injured companions and whether they will bury their corpses are important criteria for judging whether they have social attributes. The failure of these birds to abandon their companions means that their level of civilization has reached a certain level. Compared with birds, they are more inclined toward humans.

Judging from the birdman's movement speed, it takes about three minutes for them to fly here. Within these three minutes, Wu Zhongyuan had to make a decision, which is to contact them head-on or secretly track and find their settlement.

The second method is more secure. As long as you go to their settlement, you can have a more detailed understanding of them. However, the second method also has its disadvantages. If you are discovered by the birdman during the tracking period, the birdman will regard it as an enemy. Once the first impression is formed, it will be difficult to reverse, and it will not be easy to gain their trust again.

After considering it, Wu Zhongyuan chose the former and decided to have a direct contact with these birdmen to show his light and openness, and to show his sincerity first. If the birdmen responded with hostility, he would no longer have any concerns no matter what he did next.

These birds will definitely speak, but they may not be the common language at this time. This must be considered. If the language is not clear, how to communicate.

Soon, the group of birds flew near, but did not land with their wings, but hovered from above. The reason they did not land was because they saw Wu Zhongyuan below.

Wu Zhongyuan looked up and observed them at a close distance. None of the birds were wearing clothes, and they were holding weapons such as swords, sticks, and axes in their hands. Their weapons were obviously different from common weapons, with different materials and shapes.

This group of birds is half a man and a woman. Women may be more women than men. In fact, it is difficult to judge the gender of birds, because female birds do not have women's breastfeeding organs, but are slightly smaller than males and have softer facial features than males.

In addition, most birds are injured, mostly due to bites and scratches. Several feathers are burnt yellow and covered in dust, as if they have been burned by fire.

Just as Wu Zhongyuan was considering how to express kindness to these birders, one of the male birders spoke. Although the pronunciation was different, it was still the common language at this time, "Who are you?"

Seeing that the birdman could speak, Wu Zhongyuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. What he was most worried about was that he could not communicate with the other party. As long as the birdman could speak, the next thing would be easier.

"I am Wu Zhongyuan, the leader of the bear clan." Wu Zhongyuan said. He did not call himself Huangdi because Huangdi was just a false position. Many people did not know what Huangdi was, but the bear clan is one of the three major tribes in Zhongdi. Since these birds said it was a common language, it means that they were not completely isolated from the world and must know the existence of the bear clan.

Facts proved that his guess was correct. After reporting the origin, most birdmen showed shock on their faces, and at the same time, they looked at two of the female birdmen at the same time.

These two women look very similar and have beautiful facial features. They should be sisters. They are about twenty-five to thirty years old. In addition to the weapons in their hands, they also carry a rattan bag on their bodies. This is a slanted shoulder bag woven from rattan. The rattan bag is not big and should contain emergency medicines.

Two young female birds tilted their heads and exchanged eyes, and one of them said, "How can the bears wear armor?"

"My mother is a member of the Bird tribe." Wu Zhongyuan said, and he leaned out with his left hand, silently chanted a spell to exert the wrath of thunder, and a thunderous lightning flash fell from a hundred steps away.

The casting of spells can not only show his identity as a wizard, but also show his Taixuan cultivation. This can prove his leadership position in the bear clan in just one move.

Both of them are thunder wrath, their spiritual cultivation is different, and the power of lightning is also different. The loud bangs and the splashing wood and stones made the birds secretly shocked.

After confirming his identity, the woman raised her hand to greet her, "Hello, Chief Wu, I am Li Shangshang, the leader of the Yu tribe. This is my sister Liu Shangshang, and she is also the leader of the Yu tribe. What's wrong with you?"

Modern people often use hello to say hello to each other, but hello is not a special word for modern people. This word is also available at this time, which is a more polite statement.

"Two patriarchs, you are polite," Wu Zhongyuan raised his hand to return the salute, and pointed to the corpses of the human-shaped monsters and said, "These monsters have attacked me. When I learned that they appeared here, I came over to find out. May I ask the patriarch Li, why do you fight with them?"

Li Shangshang did not answer immediately. After hesitating, he turned to look at his sister, "You take them away first, I will say a few words to the leader Wu."

Both sisters, the two have the same names but different surnames. When Li Shangshang heard Li's words, Liu Shang showed worries. Seeing her hesitation, Li Shangshang raised his hand to him, "You go a hundred miles north to wait for me."

Liu Shangshang nodded and led a group of birds to fly north.

Wu Zhongyuan didn't know the Yuren, but unfortunately the old blind man was not here. The old blind man was knowledgeable and should know their origins.

After everyone left, Li Shangshang gathered his wings and landed, "Captain Wu, it's not to be hiding from it. We fought with the devil to fight for the leopard and dragon axe, but unfortunately, we failed."

Although Wu Zhongyuan was concerned about the whereabouts of the leopard dragon axe, he wanted to know the origin of those human-shaped monsters. "Why did the Chief Li call them devils?"

When Wu Zhongyuan asked such a question, it means that he did not understand this creature. Li Shangshang asked in confusion, "Don't the leader of Wu know their origin?"

Wu Zhongyuan shook his head, "I would like to ask Chief Li to solve his doubts."

Li Shangshang casually explained, "The devil is the puppet of the demon clan. They were all humans. They became like this after being occupied by the demon clan. They were already dead at the moment when the demon clan seized the body, so they were called devils."

"They come from the devil's way?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"Yes." Li Shangshang nodded.

Wu Zhongyuan nodded slowly. Although he had seen this creature many times before, he did not know their true origins. However, he always suspected that this creature was the same thing as the Western devil. Now it seems that his guess is correct. This human-shaped monster is the Western devil. However, the name of the devil was not given by Westerners, but first came from the East and then passed to the West.

When many people hear the devil, the first thing they think of is Western myths. This is completely a kind of cognitive obsessive-compulsive disorder caused by narrow knowledge. Just like the word dad, many people think it was passed down from the West. In fact, this word was first found in China and is older than dad and father.

"Why did the Chief Li know them so well?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

Li Shangshang shook his head, "This is the first time we have seen the real devil, and I don't know them either."

"Since it's the first time I've seen them, how do you know what they are?" Wu Zhongyuan asked, not a question of doubt, but a question of doubt. He believed that Li Shangshang was telling the truth, but he didn't know why she said that.

"The ancestors once followed the Human Emperor and pacified the Six Paths. The Ice Temple of the Feather Clan has detailed records about the Six Paths. One of the icicles records the situation of the demons, which contains descriptions of the devils." Li Shangshang said.

"Do you have detailed records of the situation of the Six Paths?" Wu Zhongyuan's eyes lit up. To this day, he did not know much about the other five paths, all of which were fragmentary clues.

Li Shangshang hesitated for a moment and nodded, but then said, "Forgive me, Chief Wu, the Yu tribe does not like to disturb others. The Ice Temple is a holy place for the Yu tribe, and outsiders are strictly prohibited from entering."

"Understand, understand." Wu Zhongyuan nodded. Every tribe and race has its own rules and customs. It is understandable that the feather tribe does not like to be disturbed. He is not afraid that the feather tribe has rules. Any rules can be broken as long as the time is ripe or the reward is rich enough.

"My tribe members are still waiting for me. If Chief Wu has nothing to do, I will leave." Li Shangshang said.

"President Li will stay for a while," Wu Zhongyuan hurriedly tried to stay, "Five seals are about to disappear. Does Chief Li know about this?"

"I know, this is also the reason why we look for the leopard dragon axe," said Li Shangshang. "That is the weapon used by our ancestors. It is very magical. The ancestors also left behind ways to find it. Unfortunately, the devil appeared at a critical moment, ruining the holy objects, and making us lose all our efforts."

"Destroyed?" Wu Zhongyuan frowned.

Li Shangshang sighed, "There is a fire cracking place eight hundred miles southwest. The leopard dragon was forced into the fire by the devil. My tribe members took the risk of rushing in, but it was half a minute late. The leopard dragon had fallen and the flames melted away."

"Drop into the volcano and burn it?" Wu Zhongyuan was stunned. No wonder there were several birds with signs of burning. It turned out that they rushed into the volcano and wanted to catch the leopard dragon axe.

Li Shangshang nodded and sighed.

"The Leopard Dragon Axe is a spiritual divine weapon. It is not only invincible but also replenishes spiritual energy. Now it is destroyed by a burning sound, which is a pity." Wu Zhongyuan said.

"Yes," Li Shangshang shook his head in frustrated, "The nine-day golden bamboo slips are hidden in the Leopard Dragon Axe. Now the golden bamboo slips have been destroyed, and we are at a loss."

"Captain Li, don't be depressed. If the feather tribe needs to practice Qi, I can give it to you." Wu Zhongyuan said. Li Shangshang and others have not had high spiritual energy, and they don't even have blue spiritual energy. This is probably the reason why they are eager to get the Leopard Dragon Axe.
