alone as a fairy

The black falcon also found the enemy, flapped its wings, and sped away, but the red hawk was faster, with a speed that was difficult to catch with the naked eye, and caught up with the black falcon in two or three blinks, and slammed its beak from behind. Pecking on the black falcon's neck, the black falcon let out a miserable cry, was caught by the red eagle's claws, and fell to the caravan's position.

Chen Zining was worried that he would be misunderstood and would attract the attack of the caravan, so he hurried forward a few steps and rushed out. With a long howl, the red eagle in the air echoed and flew towards him.

Under the shocked eyes of everyone, the red eagle threw the dying black falcon in front of Chen Zining's horse, and landed on his wrist. After chirping at Chen Zining a few times, it spread its wings and flew into the sky.

These two red hawks peck twenty black jade fruits every year, and they have reached the peak of the first order. After eating the thousand-year-old lotus seeds given by Chen Zining, the two red hawks met with each other on the second day after Chen Zining left. On the seventh day, they respectively broke through to the second level. With Red Eagle's already top-notch speed, it is now almost the natural enemy of most first-level spirit birds!

After a while, Fan Dongcheng, Lu Wei and even Meng Chang all came over, and Fan Dongcheng said in an inconceivable tone: "Brother Chen, is this red eagle raised by you?"

Chen Zining nodded, and said with a smile: "I was raised at home since I was a child." He can't be said to have been captured alive, and he even entered the first rank in his own hands. Such a spirit bird, even a master of the Wuzong level, can't touch it. , had to tell a lie.

No wonder Fan Dongcheng was shocked. Although beast taming is very common, they are generally mortal beasts or low-level spirit beasts. High-level spirit beasts and spirit birds must have the secret beast taming technique to have a glimmer of hope. The conditions are extremely harsh. , there are still some people on the mainland who are gifted, can understand animal language, and communicate with spirit beasts. Such people are called "beast whisperers", and they can often use spirit beasts to do things that other people cannot. He is a natural animal trainer and is valued by all major forces.

Lu Wei also said from the side: "Brother Chen, if you are willing to come to the Qinghe Chamber of Commerce, you can mention the conditions as you like, and the treatment will definitely satisfy you."

Fan Dongcheng also nodded with bright eyes.

Chen Zining smiled, kicked the black falcon under his feet, and changed the subject: "Do you know who raised this black falcon?"

Fan Dongcheng said with a bit of bitterness: "Nine times out of ten, it's a horse bandit group called Gust of Wind. I heard that their third master domesticated two black falcons."

"This group of horse thieves is very famous. Although there are only five or six hundred people, they are all of extraordinary strength, and they are not afraid of death. They are the most difficult to deal with." Lu Wei added.

"I'll let Red Eagle monitor the movement within twenty miles around, and I'll notify you if I find anything."

When Fan Dongcheng and Lu Wei heard this, they couldn't help thanking them happily and leaving.

After the two left, Meng Chang said with a smile: "You kid gave me another surprise, but when you arrive in Tsinghua City, try to keep this a secret as much as possible, otherwise many forces will attack you. I am transferred to Dongcheng City this time. The commander of the City Guards happens to be in charge of the Changfeng Academy, so you can come to me if you have anything to do."

A day without incident.

About two hours after setting off the next day, Chen Zining received a message from Red Eagle. Twenty miles ahead, a caravan of more than 100 people was being besieged by a group of horse thieves twice that size.

The red eagle blew a few times in front, and circled a few times over the place where the incident happened. After making some gestures for others to see, Chen Zining notified Fan Dongcheng.

After Fan Dongcheng asked a few more questions and learned that there was no enemy within more than 20 miles around, and that the caravan was only at a disadvantage and was not defeated, he discussed with Lu Wei and Meng Chang and decided to send some The pioneers went to ask for help, and the brigade arrived later.

Lu Wei selected more than 20 mercenaries and more than 20 guards from Ma Kuai, and set off after gathering. Chen Zining was also on this trip, flattering the horse and galloping ahead.

The distance of twenty li was reached in less than a quarter of an hour under the fast speed of the horse. When the sounds of weapons clashing and shouts of killing came to the ears of everyone, they also saw the two sides that were fighting.

The two sides had reached the moment of hand-to-hand combat. More than 200 horse thieves surrounded more than 100 caravan members and were fighting fiercely. From time to time, some people fell off their horses, and the caravan was obviously at a disadvantage.

Fifty riders came galloping at thunderous pace, startling the two sides who were fighting inextricably. Chen Zining smelled the strong smell of blood in the air, and a rush of fighting spirit filled his chest. Guangying yelled violently and crashed into the group of horse thieves with a murderous look, and suddenly a group of people in front of them turned their horses on their backs.

The people in the caravan were overjoyed when they saw the reinforcements coming. They cheered in unison and summoned up all their strength to fight back against the enemy. The horse thieves also panicked. It was always their duty to raid others, but now they were raided by others. The leader of the horse thieves yelled , issued several orders, wanting to separate some people to block the incoming enemy.

It's a pity that it's too late. One side came prepared and ready to go;

Chen Zining and the others sprinted back and forth, cooperating with the caravan guards inside and out, and killed the horse thieves to pieces. Seeing that the situation was helpless, the horse thieves broke away from contact with a roar and fled one after another.

Some mercenaries and guards who couldn't kill enough to kill followed up, killing the horse thief who fell behind, until they chased half a mile, and then drove back with the scattered ownerless horses.

A caravan leader in his forties, who claimed to be surnamed Du, thanked the people who came to help, and said that he would give them all the spoils he got from the horse thief. , also went to Tsinghua City, was raided by horse thieves, and more than 20 people were killed or injured.

Suddenly, there was a loud eagle cry in the air, Chen Zining's face darkened, and he hurriedly said to Lu Wei: "Captain Lu, there are horse thieves attacking twenty miles to the west!"

Lu Wei was surprised: "How many people are there?"

"Five or 600 people, there is a black falcon hovering above their heads, it should be the gust of wind you are talking about."

"Oops! Steward Fan and the others are still about ten miles away from here. We have to gather together to resist. Xiao An, hurry up and inform Steward Fan and them to speed up to meet up. Leader Du, you should clean up immediately, and you will also be able to fight." We have to rush to meet up."

Immediately, everyone panicked, bandaged the wounds of the wounded, put the slightly injured on the horses, and put the seriously injured and unable to move on the two carriages in the caravan, desperately driving the pack animals back.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the two teams finally joined together. In a woodland, they cut down some trees and formed a simple barrier around them, and scattered four-cornered barbed wire on the ground tens of feet away from the team. On the road, there was room for a sprint, and within the range of the bow and arrow, all the pack animals gathered in the middle, and several leaders discussed it, assigned tasks, and performed their duties.

At this time, the horse thief was less than five miles away from here, and Chen Zining didn't need to remind him. The large cloud of dust and smoke rising in the distance indicated that a large group of horses and horses were approaching quickly.

War is imminent!
