Lin Shao had yet to react to what Bi Fang meant,
He only saw its figure flash in front of him,
It headed straight for the flock of Hongmen.
Lin Shao was feeling strange in his heart,
Bi Fang hadn't said what it wanted yet, so why did it leave? After a while,
Only then did he realize that there was a slight pain in his hand.
He lowered his head and looked,
He saw that there was a very small scratch on his fingertip,
A little blood the size of a bead seeped out,
But because the wound was really too small,
Lin Shao's attention was focused on the outside again,
Naturally, he didn't immediately notice this wound.
This... was it Bi Fang?
At this time, Bai Ze, the West Queen Mother, and Phoenix all went to help strengthen the cover that caught the falling birds,
Although it was not far from him..,
Bi Fang's actions were indeed caught off guard, and Bai Ze and the others did not react in time. This gave Bi Fang a chance. Otherwise, at any other time, it would not even have the chance to get close to Lin Shao, let alone make a move. No matter how fast it was, could it be faster than Bai Ze?
'So it came for my blood?'
Everything else was just a pretense,
Taking things was indeed an excuse to get close to Lin Shao.
Lin Shao thought to himself, my blood is not Phoenix's blood. When I donated blood in university, I even checked it,
It was the blood of an ordinary person,
How did Bi Fang think of it?
Did it really think that it could take a shortcut with a drop of its blood?
But no matter what..,
Bi Fang had already left..,
Lin Shao could not pull it back at this time. He could only keep a close eye on the situation over there.
He was not so stingy that he would get angry over a drop of blood. It did not hurt much anyway. However, after Bai Ze and Phoenix found out, their expressions turned ugly, especially Phoenix. He picked up Lin Shao's finger and looked at it carefully.
"I knew Bi Fang didn't have any good intentions," Phoenix said with a sullen face. "When the Hongmen pass, I'll settle the score with it sooner or later."
"It's not that serious," Lin Shao pulled his hand back. The small wound had stopped bleeding long ago. If one did not look carefully, one would not be able to see it.
"You don't know..." Phoenix wanted to say something but hesitated. "Sigh, I still have to keep an eye on you. You still don't realize how precious you are."
Lin Shao: "..."
He shuddered, as if he was being mushy. He quickly stood a little further away from Phoenix. He could not help it. He was still not used to the strange and indescribable look in Phoenix's eyes.
About three hours after the Hongmen passed, more and more birds fell. They rustled like trees with fallen leaves in autumn.
Originally, the birds were flying in batches, but now, there was a clear trend of differentiation. The few birds flying in front that had not yet fallen down were relatively conspicuous.
Lin Shao also took a pair of binoculars from the Human World and held it up to look at the situation over there. There were a few birds flying in front that he recognized. They were the three blue birds around the West Queen Mother. Although they were small in size, they looked flexible and their strength was not bad. The three birds flew forward in circles, and for the time being, they did not look tired.
However, after looking for a long time, Lin Shao still could not find the target of his task. He did not know what the couple of lovebirds were doing, but they did not appear. Perhaps they were hidden in the vast and endless flock of birds. Lin Shao could not find them even with binoculars. It was too difficult to distinguish them.
The Hongmen would last for about three days. This matter attracted not only the birds, but also other races who heard the news would come to join in the fun. For example, Taotie came with the little Taotie. The Celestial God Race came a little later and sat on the other side of the mountain to watch.
"Although I have wings, I don't count as a bird. Otherwise, I would really go up and give it a try." Ying Zhao flapped its wings excitedly. "It's really interesting."
Taotie opened his mouth to eat fruit as he turned to Lin Shao and said, "I don't know if one of them will succeed this time. If it does, it will be a big event that will shock the Mountain and Sea Realm."
Most of the birds had the mentality of witnessing a big event. Even if they failed, many of them did not look like they wanted to go back. After they had rested and were no longer in danger, they insisted on staying here to see if one of them could succeed.
Lin Shao held the binoculars and was also moved by the atmosphere. From time to time, he would raise them to look at the situation.
The first day of the Hongmen operation passed quickly. Lin Shao woke up from his sleep and found that the situation had changed.
One of the birds flying at the front had fallen, and the replacement was Bi Fang.
Its fiery-red body was like a ball of fire, and its figure was particularly obvious. Lin Shao was surprised that Bi Fang's strength was not bad. Then, he heard Phoenix snort and say, "As expected, it's relying on that drop of blood of yours."
"My blood is not a stimulant." Lin Shao could not help but say.
Phoenix spread out her hands.
She said, "I won't argue with you about this. However, Bi Fang's little tricks are useless. If the Hongmen could take shortcuts, how could the failure rate be so high? There are many birds with heavenly treasures, but I've never seen them succeed."
However, although Phoenix said so, Bi Fang seemed to be more relaxed than the other birds. Not only did it catch up, but it was now faintly surpassing the birds in front of it.
However, Bi Fang could not attract too much Lin Shao's attention. Lin Shao had more important things to do.
But he soon had good news.
Lin Shao found the lovebirds this afternoon. The lovebirds' position was not as conspicuous as Bi Fang's. They were in the middle, often covered by the larger birds next to them. Lin Shao also found them with great difficulty.
Lin Shao clearly saw that Ling and Wu were flying together. The two birds flew around each other. Sometimes they overlapped, as if they were supporting each other.
The lovebirds should be more familiar with this. This could be regarded as a rare advantage. After all, without enough trust, it was rare to spend energy supporting other birds before the Hongmen. This kind of combination was more difficult in the later stages. After all, every bit of physical strength was very precious at this time.
Ling had indeed come for this.
Lin Shao frowned and lowered his head to think. It was natural for Ling to come for the Hongmen, but he still could not figure out the reason why Ling had to separate from Wu. Just for this?
That's not necessary, right?
Now that they were cooperating with each other, the success rate would be higher.
Lin Shao was puzzled as he stared at the situation over there.
From his point of view, Bi Fang, who was flying at the front, was only a little distance away from the Hongmen's golden-red line. It seemed that it could cross the line with just a few more flaps of its wings, but it seemed like it would never cross the line. Lin Shao saw Bi Fang flapping its wings hard, but it did not move forward.
"This is the last hurdle."
Phoenix said, shaking her head and sighing, "Every time, many birds can make it there, but this last hurdle is also the most severe one. Luck, talent, hard work, and patience are indispensable. Even if you have these, the success rate is very low."
Bi Fang stopped moving forward, and the birds behind it quickly followed. However, they all stopped in the same place, including the three green birds led by the West Queen Mother. Sometimes, when they managed to move forward a little, they were quickly beaten back to the same place.
"What are you afraid of?" The West Queen Mother did not seem to care. "It'll be good if they pass, but if they don't, it means they don't have the luck."
Lin Shao stared intently at the Lovebirds. In fact, from what he knew about the Lovebirds during this period of time, he did not think that the Lovebirds would succeed.
The Lovebirds only had a little talent in resisting Spiritual Pressure, and they had received some good modifications from Phoenix. However, in terms of overall strength, the Lovebirds were no match for many birds with excellent talent and acquired strength.
Therefore, Lin Shao subconsciously did not think that Ling and Wu would succeed. They might not even make it to the last hurdle. He kept staring at the Lovebirds, thinking that if they fell, he would hurry up and save them. Regardless of whether the mission was successful or not, he could not let anything happen to the target of the mission.
Wu was even more so. A few days ago, when the modification was completed, she left with blood dripping all over her body. She must be weak now.
However, to the surprise of the canopy, the closer they got to the front, the more the birds in the middle began to fall down one by one. Only the two lovebirds continued to persevere. There were several times when they were on the verge of falling, but they relied on each other to support themselves and flew forward. They flew all the way to the last hurdle before stopping.
This did not mean that they were resting. On the contrary, it meant that they were under greater pressure. Several birds in front had failed at the last hurdle and fell. The higher they flew, the more tragic their fall was. Even with Phoenix's support, it was not enough to cushion their fall. Every one of them was seriously injured, and no one knew if they could survive.
