Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 728 Is there anyone (4000)

"understand!"

Wu Liang didn't need to say much, Bai Jingjing had already made preparations, and when she saw those figures, she immediately used her ventriloquism.

"call out--"

A pleasant whistle came from Bai Jingjing's mouth, and echoed 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 the others, but they did not respond to Bai Jingjing's whistle.

Is it useless?

Wu Liang had been guarding against this kind of situation for a long time. After all, this cave was isolated from the outside world. Even if Bai Jingjing's whistle was effective for most of the birds in the world, it might not be effective for them as well.

"Dian Wei, Yang Wanli!"

Not only Wu Liang, Dian Wei and Yang Wanli also held a "Sleepy Fairy Ball", ready to capture these birds.

It is not necessary to be able to catch all of them, even if it is just one or two, Wu Liang is able to research and verify them, at least try to figure out what kind of bird this is.

And at this time.

"Help! Help! Help!..."

Suddenly there was another messy and strange cry in the cave.

This is obviously human language.

And it sounds like there should be at least four or five people shouting at the same time, but the tone of voice is a little weird, as if they are shouting with their throats squeezed, a little sharp, and a little hoarse.

"Someone?!"

Everyone's spirits suddenly tensed up.

This cave has just entered the sea water, and it is an incalculable mass. It is very strange that a few birds can fly out of it, but now there are human voices, and it seems to be "Help", which is even more so. weird.

Most importantly, the pronunciation of this voice is very strange, it does not sound like a normal person...

"Don't panic, concentrate on capturing these birds first, and the rest of you be careful!"

Wu Liang also found it incredible.

But everything has a priority, he chooses to capture these flying birds that are close at hand first, if there are "people" coming out later, it will not be too late to concentrate on dealing with them.

"Hey!"

As soon as the words fell, Dian Wei threw the "Sleepy Fairy Ball" in his hand, and threw it straight at the birds.

His strength is amazing, if the "Sleepy Celestial Ball" hits the birds directly, it is estimated that they will be killed directly, but in this case, Wu Liang doesn't care about leaving alive, as long as he can catch one or two. , even if it is dead.

Immediately afterwards, Wu Liang and Yang Wanli also shot together.

Three "sleepy celestial balls" hit the birds one by one.

"Have it!"

Just like shooting a basketball, watching the trajectory of the three "sleepy fairy balls" flying in the air, Wu Liang had already predicted the result in his heart, and he only had to look back confidently.

really.

"Snapped!"

Accompanied by a crisp sound.

The "Sleepy Fairy Ball" thrown by Dian Wei did not hit the bird, but hit the rock on the top of the cave, and then exploded suddenly, a red fishing net was quickly opened, covering the two birds in one fell swoop. out of the net.

But the "Sleepy Celestial Ball" thrown by Wu Liang passed by a flying bird, fell into a deeper cave, and exploded suddenly after falling to the ground.

Yang Wanli's "Sleepy Celestial Ball" was also a little bit off, and he didn't gain anything.

But that's enough.

Catch two birds and still live, there is no better result.

Dian Wei had sharp eyes and quick hands, jumped over in two or three steps and picked up the fishing net. Two birds were flapping non-stop in it, and at the same time, the human voice just heard was even more urgent.

"Help! Help! Help..."

at the same time.

The few remaining flying birds that survived the catastrophe had already flown out of the cave above Wu Liang and the others, but they didn't run away immediately, but drew an arc in the air and flew straight towards Bai Jingjing.

"Help! Help! Help!..."

"This……"

Listen to this increasingly messy and urgent cry for help.

Even if Wu Liang and the others didn't have Bai Jingjing's extraordinary hearing, they had already heard some clues: This sound... seems to be made by these birds?

"careful!"

Seeing the few birds that escaped the catastrophe flew straight to Bai Jingjing.

Naturally, the accompanying soldiers of the Huren Army did not dare to take it lightly. They have all raised the "Warring States Repeating Crossbow" with their arrows loaded in advance. They can shoot many arrows in an instant just by pulling out the machine expansion. If these flying birds are not invulnerable The strange beasts, it is easy to take them down.

"Wait!"

Bai Jingjing finally stopped her ventriloquist, and shouted to the soldiers of the Huren Army, "I can feel that they don't mean me badly, don't hurt them!"

"?"

The soldiers of the Huren Army did not dare to make their own opinions. If Bai Jingjing was injured because of this, 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 shoot yet."

Wu Liang believed in Bai Jingjing's judgment and immediately waved his hands.

The soldiers of the Tuan Army had no choice but to stop when they heard the words, but they did not put away the "Warring States Repeating Crossbow", but held it in their hands to be ready to take precautions at any time.

A flash of God's kung fu.

A few birds had already flown in front of Bai Jingjing.

They really didn't hurt Bai Jingjing, but circled around Bai Jingjing's head twice, and 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 very clearly. The sound obviously did not come from the depths of the cave, but from the mouths of these birds. How could they speak human language? !

And the two birds caught in the net by Dian Wei were still shouting non-stop: "Help! Help! Help!..."

"!!!"

This not only did not make the people in the Tuan army relax their vigilance, but on the contrary clenched the "Warring States Repeating Crossbow" in their hands more and more, with a nervous look on their faces.

In their eyes, a talking bird is a strange beast, and they have to guard against it.

However, when Wu Liang saw the appearance of these flying birds clearly, he laughed and said to everyone: "Everyone don't need to be nervous, this kind of bird usually won't hurt people."

He had already recognized that the birds were actually parrots.

Perhaps many people in this era have never seen this kind of bird, but it has been recorded in the "Shan Hai Jing" as early as the pre-Qin Dynasty: "The bird is shaped like an owl, with green feathers and red beak, and a human tongue can speak."

"Young master is right. If the old man's guess is correct, this kind of bird should be a parrot. It was recorded in "Shan Hai Jing". Although it is a strange bird, it is also one of the most common flying birds in "Shan Hai Jing". .”

Yu Ji, who was hiding behind everyone, also came out, stroking his beard and saying.

Parrots can indeed be regarded as one of the most common flying birds in the "Shan Hai Jing". This thing does not hurt or eat people, and there is no bad omen when it appears, and after eating it, people will not get the benefits comparable to supernatural powers. The only peculiarity is that it can speak like a human.

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 still needs some training, at least someone needs to repeat some content next to it, so that it can form muscle memory for it, so as to realize "parrot learning".

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 parrot they are.

"The old man is indeed well-informed. This thing is a parrot."

Wu Liang took the opportunity and said, "This kind of bird can only imitate human speech, so it can be judged 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 fallen into trouble."

Zhen Mi pondered and said, "Otherwise, how would the parrot learn the words 'Is there anyone' and 'Help'? Only people in trouble would shout like that."

"However, it takes more than ten years for this cave to appear every time, and each time it lasts for at most one day, it will be submerged again by sea water. Can anyone survive in sea water?"

Yang Wanli raised his own doubts.

Not only can people not survive in sea water, but they also cannot speak in sea water. This is indeed a question worth pondering.

"That is to say, it is very possible that there is another cave in this cave, as Brother Youcai guessed before, so even if the sea water submerges this cave again, people who enter it can survive for a while, and may even live forever. Now... After all, the young master and Yu Ji both said that although these parrots are strange, they are still ordinary birds in essence, if parrots can survive, then humans can also survive."

Zhuge Liang used his little brain to try to explain the current situation.

Everyone discussed in an orderly manner, none of the backbone of the Huan army was mediocre, and every word they said was not useless nonsense, which quickly made up for Wu Liang's guess.

"Jingjing, tease these parrots again and see if they can say something else?"

When everyone was about to discuss, Wu Liangcai said to Bai Jingjing again.

The more these parrots spoke, the easier it was to restore what happened to the people who entered the cave before, and it never provided a reference for Wu Liang's actions this time.

"I'll try my best."

Bai Jingjing nodded, took out some dry food from the cloth bag she carried with her, broke it up and fed it to the parrots on her shoulders and arms.

However, no one knows what words parrots can say, and because parrots learn to speak from humans is actually a kind of muscle memory, so that in many cases, if you want parrots to say more words, you need specific things and situations to guide them , this is obviously a job that takes time to try.

However, the time for the ghost cave to appear is very limited, making it impossible for Wu Liang to waste too much time on this matter.

"Well, try as you go, we only have four hours, we must seize the time to explore as deep as possible into the ghost cave, once the four hours are up, no matter what the result is, we have to turn back."

Wu Liang waved his head, and then ordered everyone, "Go into the cave!"

……

After entering the cave.

Wu Liang finally took out the "Suihou Bead" that had not been seen for a long time, and everything in the cave was immediately illuminated.

However, Wu Liang also brought another habit to the Huan army, that is, no matter what the field of view is, as long as they enter a relatively closed space, the Huan army will definitely carry an open flame.

In the beginning it was a torch.

It was later changed to candles.

But this time it was replaced with an oil lamp placed in a sheltered lantern. This is not an ordinary oil lamp, but an ever-bright oil lamp made from shark oil obtained in the underground secret realm of Jinyang City. Well, just such a lamp can be passed down from generation to generation and used for many lifetimes.

Needless to say, the role of the open fire is self-evident, everyone in the Li army understands that it is to prevent "ghosts from blowing out the lights".

It was obviously the first time Miko Hu had entered this underground secret realm.

At the same time, it was also the first time for her to see such well-equipped "special forces", not to mention those weird but extremely convenient weapons. In the past, I also know that long-bright pearls like the "Suihou Pearl" are definitely not vulgar objects, and they are priceless. They are said to be the cities of the Celestial Dynasty. In their Wa Kingdom, even if they sell the entire Wa Kingdom, they may not be able to exchange for it.

But at this moment, the witch is also a marginal person.

Wu Liang has been guarding against her all the time, she can only follow behind the Huan army, and there are four Huan army soldiers guarding her at any time, her every move, even if it is just a look, can't be done in private.

that's it.

A group of people walked in the dark cave.

They need to always pay attention to the surrounding situation, so the speed cannot be too fast, but with the "Suihou Pearl" providing a wide field of vision, they will definitely not be too slow.

However, after going like this for two full hours, Wu Liang still got nothing.

There is still no end to the sloping cave that extends downwards, surrounded by rock walls with traces of sea water, and the air still exudes a fishy smell that belongs to the ocean. Nothing else.

"My lord, we've walked about forty miles, haven't we?"

Yu Ji's physical fitness was the worst, and he came to Wu Liang out of breath and said.

"It should be sixty miles. I have been secretly measuring the distance with steps."

Wu Liang said.

Two hours, four hours, an average of fifteen miles per hour, this speed is really not slow... But to be honest, Wu Liang also felt a little anxious now.

"This ghost cave is really bottomless, no wonder it can swallow so much seawater..."

Yu Ji sighed with a wry smile.

When talking like this.

"Wow!"

An extremely abrupt sound suddenly came from the depths of the cave.

"There's water ahead!"

Wu Liang could hear clearly that it was definitely the sound of water, and it was the sound of something relatively large tumbling in the water.

"!"

Immediately, everyone's spirits became tense again, and they walked peacefully for two hours, expecting something to happen, but also worrying about something happening in their hearts.

"Twenty feet."

Bai Jingjing said at the right time, "If I heard correctly, the sound is about twenty feet away from us."
