Chapter seven hundred and twentieth seventh is anyone (4000)(1/2)
"clear!"
Wu Liang didn't need to say anything, Bai Jingjing was already prepared and immediately started ventriloquism upon seeing those figures.
"call out"
A sweet whistle came from Bai Jingjing's mouth, echoing far away in the dark cave.
And those figures were getting closer and closer, and in the blink of an eye they were only three or four feet away from Wu Liang and others, but they did not respond to Bai Jingjing's whistle.
No use?
Wu Liang had long been on guard against this happening. After all, the cave was isolated from the world. Even if Bai Jingjing's whistle was effective on most birds in the world, it might not be able to have the same effect on them.
"Dian Wei, Yang Wanli!"
Not only Wu Liang, but Dian Wei and Yang Wanli also held a "trapped fairy ball" and were ready to capture these flying birds.
Not necessarily catching them all, but even just one or two, Wu Liang was able to study and verify them, at least trying to figure out as much as possible what kind of bird they were.
And at this time.
"Help! Help! Help!..."
Suddenly there was another chaotic and weird cry in the cave.
This is obviously human language.
And it sounded like at least four or five people were shouting at the same time, but the tone was a little weird, as if they were shouting with their throats squeezed, a little sharp, and a little hoarse.
"Is there anyone?!"
Everyone's spirits suddenly became tense.
This cave has just been filled with sea water, and it is an incalculable amount of water. It is already very strange that a few birds can fly out of it, but now human voices can be heard again, and they seem to be shouting "Help", which is even more...
Weird.
The most important thing is that the way the voice is pronounced is very weird, it doesn't sound like a normal person...
"Don't panic, concentrate on catching these birds first, and the rest of you should be careful!"
Wu Liang also found it incredible.
However, everything has a priority. He chose to capture these flying birds that were close at hand first. If there were "people" coming out later, it would not be too late to concentrate on dealing with them.
"Hey!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the "Trapped Immortal Ball" in Dian Wei's hand had already been thrown out, hitting the flying birds directly.
His strength is very impressive. If the "Trapped Immortal Ball" directly hits the birds, it will probably kill them directly. However, in this case, Wu Liang does not care about leaving alive, as long as he can capture one or two.
, even if he is dead.
Immediately afterwards, Wu Liang and Yang Wanli also took action together.
Three "trapped fairy balls" were thrown at the birds one after another.
"Yes!"
Just like shooting a basketball, watching the trajectory of the three "trapped fairy balls" flying in the air, Wu Liangzhong had already predicted the result, and he just had to turn back with confidence.
really.
"Crack!"
Accompanied by a crisp sound.
The "Trapped Immortal Ball" thrown by Dian Wei did not hit the birds, but hit the rocks at the top of the cave. Then it exploded suddenly, and a red fishing net quickly opened, covering the two birds at once.
In the network.
The "Trapped Immortal Ball" thrown by Wu Liang missed a flying bird, landed in a deeper cave, and exploded suddenly after falling to the ground.
The "Trapped Immortal Ball" thrown by Yang Wanli was also just a little short of the mark and did not yield any results.
But this is enough.
There is no better outcome than catching two flying birds and still living.
Dian Wei, with quick eyes and quick hands, jumped over in two or three steps and picked up the fishing net. Two birds were flapping in it, and at the same time, the human voice he just heard became more urgent.
"Help! Help! Help..."
at the same time.
The few remaining birds that had escaped the disaster had already flown out of the cave above Wu Liang and others, but they did not escape immediately. Instead, they drew an arc in the air and flew straight towards Bai Jingjing.
"Help! Help! Help!..."
"this……"
Listening to the increasingly messy and urgent cries for help.
Even if Wu Liang and others don't have Bai Jingjing's extraordinary hearing, they have already heard some clues: This sound... seems to be made by these birds?
"careful!"
I saw the few birds that had escaped the disaster flying straight towards Bai Jingjing.
The accompanying soldiers of the Hu army naturally did not dare to take it lightly. They had already raised the "Warring States repeating crossbows" that had been loaded with arrows in advance. They could shoot many arrows in an instant by just removing the crossbow. If these birds were not invulnerable,
of strange beasts, taking them down is a piece of cake.
"Wait!"
Bai Jingjing finally stopped her ventriloquism and shouted to the soldiers of the Hu army, "I can feel that they have no ill intentions towards me. Don't hurt them!"
"?"
The soldiers of the Hu army did not dare to make independent decisions. If Bai Jingjing was injured, they would not be able to explain to Wu Liang, so they could only subconsciously look back at Wu Liang.
"Listen to Jingjing, don't cum yet."
Wu Liang believed in Bai Jingjing's judgment and immediately waved his hand.
The soldiers of the Hu army had to stop after hearing this, but they did not put away the "Warring States Repeating Crossbow", but held it in their hands to be ready for precautions at any time.
A flash of divine skill.
Several birds have already flown in front of Bai Jingjing.
As expected, they never harmed Bai Jingjing, but after circling twice around Bai Jingjing's head, they finally landed on Bai Jingjing's outstretched arm.
at the same time.
Another voice sounded in everyone's ears: "Is there anyone? Is there anyone? Is there anyone?..."
This time everyone not only saw clearly, but also heard clearly. The sound obviously did not come from the depths of the cave, but from the mouths of these birds. They can actually speak human language?!
The two birds captured by Dian Wei in the net were still shouting: "Help! Help! Help!..."
"!!!"
Not only did this not make everyone in the Hu army relax their vigilance, but they tightened their grip on the "Warring States Repeating Crossbow" in their hands, with a look of nervousness on their faces.
In their eyes, talking birds are alien beasts and must be guarded against.
However, when Wu Liang saw the appearance of these flying birds clearly, he started laughing and said to everyone: "Don't be nervous, everyone, these birds usually don't hurt people."
He had already recognized that these birds were actually parrots.
Perhaps many people in this era have never seen this kind of bird, but as early as the "Book of Mountains and Seas" written in the pre-Qin Dynasty, there are related records: "The bird looks like an owl, with green feathers and a red beak, and its human tongue can speak."
"Young Master is right. If my guess is correct, this bird should be a parrot. It was once recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. Although it is a strange bird, it is also one of the most common birds in the Classic of Mountains and Seas."
.”
Yu Ji, who was hiding behind everyone, also walked out, stroking his beard and talking about popular science.
Parrots can indeed be regarded as one of the most common birds in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas". This thing does not hurt or eat people, and there is no bad or good omen when it appears. Moreover, after eating it, people will not gain any benefits comparable to supernatural powers.
The only strange thing is that he can speak like a human being.
But in fact, the records in "Shan Hai Jing" are not comprehensive.
Because the parrot does not have a human tongue, nor does it speak with its own thoughts, but can only imitate the sound of human speech.
And this kind of imitation often requires some training, at least someone needs to repeat some content next to it, in order to form muscle memory for it, so as to achieve "parrot copying".
It's a pity that Wu Liang is not a bird lover and has no research on parrots. Although he knows that these birds are parrots, he can't tell what type of parrots they are.
"The old gentleman is indeed very knowledgeable. This thing is exactly a parrot."
Wu Liang took over the conversation and said, "This kind of bird can only imitate human speech. From this, we can judge that someone has indeed entered this cave before, and they should have survived in the cave for a while."
"If so, the people who entered the cave before must have been in trouble."
Zhen Mi pondered and said, "Otherwise, how could the parrot learn the words 'Is there anyone here' and 'Help'? Only people who are in trouble would cry out like this."
"But it takes more than ten years for this cave to appear, and each time it appears, it lasts for at most one day before being submerged by sea water again. Can anyone survive in the sea water?"
Yang Wanli raised his own questions.
Not only can humans not survive in seawater, they also cannot speak in seawater. This is indeed a question worth thinking about.
