Chapter 240 Death roll call, parroting!
“Sister Hongyao!”
Hua Yueyu climbed out of the Feather Mountain, with his head exposed and breathing heavily.
Xia Hongyao wanted to go, but there were too many feathers under her body and they were too soft. She seemed to be trapped in a huge sponge, making it difficult to move.
“This is...a birdcage?”
Gu Qingqiu got out and looked around. This was a huge birdcage made of gold. Everyone was like a canary in a cage.
There were some horizontal metal rods above the head. As everyone emerged one by one, a group of parrots with colorful feathers flew over, got in through a small iron door on the top of the birdcage, and landed on on metal rods, lined up in a row.
“Twelve in total!”
Gu Qingqiu counted them and estimated that the key to passing the rules lies in these parrots.
“Report!”
A parrot with a bunch of comb feathers on its head shouted loudly. The one on the far left immediately shouted "1", and then they counted one by one, with loud and neat voices.
The cockatoo waited for them to finish shouting, then immediately flew up and hovered over everyone's heads.
"Count!"
"Count!"
The cockatoo shouted.
"You want us to count, right?"
After Gu Qingqiu finished speaking, he looked around and shouted '1'.
"Where's the Forest God?"
Little Fairy Ya was very panicked. Before she could finish her words, the cockatoo flew over and pecked her head hard.
“Ah, go away.”
Little Fairy Ya held his head with his left hand and waved his right hand wildly, trying to drive away this annoying parrot. However, the parrot was very difficult to deal with, and the beak was very powerful. In just a few blows, it pecked through Little Fairy Ya's head.
There was blood flowing down.
Gu Qingqiu guessed that after the parrot called out the count, everyone could not say anything else, otherwise they would be attacked.
Because she didn’t know if she would be attacked by a parrot if she reminded Little Fairy Ya, Gu Qingqiu remained silent. She looked at Hua Yueyu and Xia Hongyao and made a ‘counting’ gesture.
“2!”
Lin Baici's voice sounded.
“Xiao Bai!”
Hua Yueyu looked happy and immediately walked towards Lin Baici.
“3!”
Xia Hongyao shouted.
"4!"
The luxury man also roared, but after shouting, he regretted it. This number was so unlucky, he should have waited.
“5! 5!”
Little Fairy Ya shouted twice, and the cockatoo was satisfied and let her go. However, Little Fairy Ya’s face had already been scratched by the parrot’s claws. Yes, there are several wounds.
The Cockscomb parrot hovered above the bird cage. After everyone finished counting, he sat down on the metal rod with satisfaction. After combing his feathers with his beak a few times, he said: "Choose a parrot and imitate The more similar they are to what they say, the greater the chance of survival!”
When Little Xianya heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Stable!
She has the gift of parroting and can imitate the sounds of any creature in the world, not only people and animals, but also plants.
"Lin Shen!"
Xianya saw Lin Baici appearing at three o'clock, she immediately walked over there, because there were too many feathers here, so she looked Going up is like swimming in the 'Feather Sea'.
"No. 4!"
The cockatoo called the roll call.
“Huh?”
The Qingshe man was startled, then his expression froze, and he became filled with deep worry.
Isn’t it?
What are you afraid of?
This number 4 is indeed unlucky!
The cock-cockatoo flapped its wings and flew towards Qingshe Man.
“What do you mean?”
The luxury man was frightened.
"Shout 'arrive', no!"
Lin Baici reminded.
"Here! Here!"
The light luxury man roared twice, and then the cockatoo flew back to the metal rod: "Let's start!"
" Choose a bird? ”
The Qingshe Man raised his head and looked at the parrots standing on the metal rods one by one.
How to choose?
Is there any difference?
The light luxury man looked at Lin Baici and wanted to ask for help on the spot.
“Just try your luck, I don’t know!”
Lin Baici stood among the feathers and shrugged his shoulders. There was no discernible difference between these parrots in appearance.
"I...I choose that one!"
The luxury man did not rely on his feelings, but wanted to seek good luck, so he chose the eighth one.
The cockatoo flew up again, looking like it was going to attack.
“Eight, the eighth one!”
The light luxury man shouted quickly.
The selected parrot suddenly opened its beak and uttered a strange syllable.
The light luxury man’s face suddenly turned green.
Can you speak human language?
The cockatoo waited for a minute, and when he saw that Qingshe Man had not moved yet, he immediately urged him.
"Imitate!"
"Imitate!"
Gudu!
The light luxury man swallowed a mouthful of saliva and looked at Lin Baici desperately: "Help me?"
"Can someone else imitate it for him?"
Lin Baici asked.
The cockatoo turned its head and stared at Lin Baici: "Okay, but when it is your turn, it will be more difficult for you to imitate!"
Xiao Xianya originally thought that these people were They were her water friends, and she could imitate them, so she could help these people, but after hearing these words, she immediately gave up.
Can’t help! Can't help!
May everyone wish you good luck!
Lin Baici sighed. He didn't want to take risks because he wanted to leave the number to Hua Yueyu and the others.
Seeing this, Qingshe Man knew that he could only rely on himself. His mouth trembled and he uttered a syllable.
“No!”
The cockatoo yelled.
The light luxury man’s heart trembled and he changed the syllable.
"No!"
The cockatoo's voice was louder and seemed to be angry.
“…”
The Qingshe man’s lips were open, and he was too scared to make any sound.
The cockatoo did not move, but the 'eighth' parrot flew up from the metal rod, like a bomber, and dived towards the luxurious man.
Qingshe Man didn't want to sit still and wait for death. When he clenched his fists and prepared to fight, a Tang knife fell in front of him. It was quietly thrown by the red clay figure.
The light luxury man’s eyes lit up and he picked it up immediately.
But he didn't expect that when the parrot flew over his head, it suddenly became bigger, like a dragon in mythology.
The luxurious man drew his sword and slashed.
Ding!
The blade struck the parrot's beak, and a ball of sparks burst out. Then the parrot bit him half of its body. Then it raised its head and swallowed the luxurious man into its belly.
Afterwards, the parrot flew back, shrunk, and landed on the metal rod.
The survivors remained silent.
“No. 1!”
Without giving everyone time to adjust their mentality, the Cockscomb continued to call the names.
"Qingqiu!"
Xia Hongyao was worried.
Gu Qingqiu is truly a crazy woman. She didn’t panic at all. She tapped her lips with her right index finger, as if she was standing in front of the cloakroom, looking at the cabinet full of clothes, and choosing which one to wear tomorrow. of.
The whole person is calm, calm and elegant!
“Leave No. 1 to Lin Baici, I’ll choose No. 2!”
Gu Qingqiu raised his finger.
The selected parrot raised its head, swayed and muttered something.
“It’s over!”
Xia Hongyao felt like he was going to suffer because what the parrot said sounded much longer than the one just now.
The longer it is, the more difficult it is to imitate.
Gu Qingqiu raised his eyebrows, with a look of astonishment on his face.
“Xiao Linzi, it’s up to you!”
In Xia Hongyao’s view, Lin Baici is omnipotent and must have a way.
But before Lin Baici could help, a faint smile overflowed from the corner of Gu Qingqiu's mouth, and he spoke.
Everyone looked at each other, they couldn't tell whether what Gu Qingqiu said was right or not, but Xiao Xianya looked dumbfounded.
"Oh!"
Little Xianya was shocked, what is the origin of this woman? Although there are some places where the tone is not quite accurate, it’s generally pretty much the same!
But then she felt relieved.
Yes, she is a divine hunter from the Jiuzhou Security Bureau, so she must have powerful divine grace to help her pass the test.
“Qingqiu, what’s going on?”
Xia Hongyao asked in shock. She knew Gu Qingqiu very well and knew that she didn't have any imitative grace.
"I'm lucky. What this parrot said is a sentence from Rabindranath Tagore's "Birds", and I happened to have read this book!"
Gu Qingqiu smiled slightly, without any It was meant to show off, but others were shocked when they heard it.
“What are you talking about?”
Xia Hongyao blurted out subconsciously.
"It speaks Bengali, and the translation is, I am a bird that has flown through the wild and found the sky in my eyes!"
Gu Qingqiu explained.
“Bengali? Do you know this?”
Hua Yueyu was shocked, is this a minority language? Who would learn this stuff when they have nothing to do?
“When I was twelve years old, I liked Rabindranath Tagore’s poetry, so I studied it.”
Gu Qingqiu's tone was matter-of-fact, as if learning a language was as easy as drinking water and eating.
“…”
Everyone was shocked. Who would learn a person’s mother tongue just because they like his works?
Everyone wants to ask, are you sick?
In fact, the translated works lose their original flavor.
This was also Gu Qingqiu's original intention to learn Bengali.
“If my prediction is correct, these parrots should all be able to speak a sentence in a certain language. If you are lucky and catch up, you will definitely be able to pass!”
“ ..."
Everyone started to pray and met one who spoke Chinese.
“No. 15!”
Cockatoo roll call.
No. 15 is a young man who chose parrot No. 6.
The parrot said something.
“Damn, English, you are so lucky!”
Li Junsheng was envious.
Young man No. 15 had a bitter look on his face: "I...I don't know how!"
I knew I would have worked hard to learn English.
The parrot flew down, grew in size, and swallowed No. 15 into its belly like a bug.
"..."
Li Junsheng felt that this guy was at a huge loss. If he was given the opportunity, he would definitely pass.
The cockatoo continued to call names.
Lin Baici has divine grace and is so recited that he can remember it after listening to it once. It is not a big problem to pass the test, but he does not want to wait passively.
Who knows if there are any more levels below?
Of the nearly 400 fans of Little Fairy Ya, only about 20 are dead, but there should be some survivors in the forest ahead.
With their abilities, they will definitely die if they continue, so Lin Baici can save a few more lives if he purifies this sacred object earlier.
Lin Baici thought of the Black Cat Scale, a taboo object obtained from the Provincial Museum's Shrine. What if it could eat these parrots?
Anyway, it was a dead horse being treated as a live doctor, so Lin Baici immediately quietly took out the Black Cat Scale, injected divine power into it, and activated it. A black cat appeared and meowed. The cockscombs who were about to speak, as well as the twelve on the metal rods, suddenly stiffened, as if they were mice being stared at by a cat and did not dare to move!
