Chapter 84 Umbrella Bird
After a brief confrontation, the umbrella bird landed on the water.

He stood up on the spot and folded his wings in front of him.

Call ~
The eye-like feather crest is raised, and the wings are spread out with all their strength.

Li Ming, who was moving forward with his shield on his back, showed no reaction to the intimidation.

Stepping into the sand step by step, the body moves forward firmly.

The umbrella bird changes its posture and stands on one leg.

The ball usually flies from a distance and directly hits the feather crown, causing the light brown feathers to scatter.

Umbrella Bird moved sideways to break through and attack Chuying in the rear.

Li Ming moved his legs laterally, using the "lateral movement" of the small shield crab to move the shield forward and continue to block.

The umbrella bird turns sideways, swings its wings back to accumulate force, and then flaps forward violently.

Phew!
The wind pressure temporarily stopped the rapids, and the wing bones hit the shield with a crisp sound.

Li Ming's upper body was completely suppressed by the huge wings that were flapping.

The strange thing is that except for his body moving slightly backward, his position has not changed significantly.

The unbelieving umbrella bird pressed forward, its claws stepped into the sand and kicked, constantly exerting force on its wings.

Li Ming then began to slide backwards slowly.

After pushing it away, the umbrella bird flapped its wings back and became alert.

Through the trial just now, Li Ming also gained a better understanding of the power of the umbrella bird.

The wing flapping force is not weak and the range is large enough.

If I were hit while not holding a shield, even I might be slapped away.

While thinking about countermeasures, the umbrella bird stepped forward with its paws, raised its head, and struck down with its red beak.

Li Ming's shield face was tilted, and he moved one foot back as a support, quickly changing his posture.

The peck landed on the shield, sending up large sparks.

Li Ming's defensive posture was not broken, but his body became shorter.

It's not that there's something wrong with my power of the earth, it's that the "earth" isn't very good.
Li Ming felt that the soft sand on the river bed could not provide stable support for his body.

It would be okay if the attack to be resisted is pushed backwards, but if it is pushed downwards, it will only continue to sink into the river bed.

Damn it, you can't lift the defense, so you can only be suppressed like this. Okay, since you can't counterattack, just stack up your armor.

Seeing his body sinking a little bit, Li Ming simply threw the charged sword into the water.

After freeing up one hand, replace the fog ball on the spot and load it with [Milt Armor].

The mud in the river bed quickly covered the surface of the leg armor.

What he didn't know was that Umbrella Bird wasn't having a good time here either.

The impact of the beak was like pecking on a rock, causing a buzzing in the head.

However, the tip of the beak was still the focus of all the strength. When Li Ming's figure stopped and sank, a very thin crack began to expand upward with the tip of the beak.

swoosh~
The umbrella bird waved its neck and took a few steps back before stopping.

Li Ming put his palms on the ground, quickly got out of the sand, picked up the energy-charging sword, and moved forward.

After testing the Umbrella Bird's power, Li Ming felt confident and decided to switch from defense to offense.

The umbrella bird's neck is bent downwards, and its head is arched into the water.

The crown of the head hangs down in a backward swing, and the spikes at the end are exposed forward.

The claws of his feet moved and he started to rush and charge.

Li Ming squatted on the spot, activated [Leap Frog Shock], jumped in the air, and assembled the sword and shield.

Unfortunately, there was no obstacle, and the umbrella bird sprinted far across the river before stopping.

Just focus on the collision and don't even look at where the person is?
The attack distance was not enough, and Li Ming felt speechless.

After falling on the river, you can only pick up the shield and ax and start chasing.

The umbrella bird raised its head, looked around and was curious, why was the hunter missing?
Hearing the sound of treading water behind him, he turned around and at the same time, one of his wings bent inward to accumulate strength.

As he turned around, his wings flapped again.

Li Ming stopped suddenly and took off from a squatting position.

Call ~
The wings swung across from under my feet.

Remove the sword and shield and assemble it into an axe.

Due to the extra step, Li Ming's [Leap Frog Shock] missed the highest point of its descent.

But still relying on sufficient jumping height and skillful shield and ax assembly skills, he can still prepare to slash in the air.

The Umbrella Bird's wing swing was temporarily terminated without any obstruction.

After one blow, the umbrella bird changed its wings and made a second wave.

The surroundings were empty, so naturally it was still in vain, but Li Ming knew the intention of the umbrella bird.

This is to allow the body posture to maintain the inertia of the wing swing, which facilitates the launch of subsequent force attacks.

Hunters will also take similar actions when fighting.

For example, even though he knows that the attack will fail, he will still swing the weapon with all his strength, in order to provide the inertial power of the swing for the next derivative move that is likely to hit.

To put it simply, it is driven rotation, which is faster than static rotation and can produce stronger explosions.

If you have a deeper understanding of the cutting distance, you can also adjust the attack distance with the help of move linkage.

The second slap missed, the umbrella bird turned its body sideways, changed its wings, and prepared for the third attack.

Seeing the opponent raise his head, lock the enemy's position.

The fallen Li Ming could not escape, so he decided to use his strength to fight.

"Go to hell!"

The ax blade split the air and swung a white arc in mid-air.

The umbrella bird flapped its wings slightly upward and collided head-on.

Boom!
Li Ming flew out upside down, and the wing bone that was hit was bent immediately.

The umbrella bird stepped back and stood still, flapped its wings several times, and found that although only one wing bone of the injured wing was broken, the whole wing was loose and unable to stand upright.

He immediately jumped on the spot several times, roared, flapped his wings and took off.

Waves of hot air overflowed from his mouth.

Li Ming fell into the river and quickly got up.

I just felt a little heavy in my chest, so I guessed the injury was not serious.

Before further inspection could be done, several bouncing flame balls flew over the river.

Li Ming stood upright with a smile on his face.

In order to deal with this move, he loaded the only cyan fog ball [Fire Resistant Dragon Scale (Emerald)].

However, after these flame balls bounced into the water several times, they were immediately extinguished, leaving only an empty honeycomb-shaped spherical shell.

pat~pat~
The empty shell hit the armor with a crisp sound, then bounced back to the water and floated away with the river.

Compared with the fireball of the fire dragon, the flame ball of the umbrella bird is also generated by the flame bag.

But the spray force and size are completely incomparable.

The Umbrella Bird can only spit out multiple flame balls while hanging in the air, ejecting them to increase the range and hit rate. The killing power is all due to the accompanying burning.

Li Ming wiped the black dust on his armor and frowned slightly.

I thought your flame ball wouldn't be effective, so I wouldn't load it in vain.

He didn't want to be burned voluntarily, but Umbrella Bird obviously didn't know about his ability to resist burning.

Then when the opponent launches an attack with a flame ball, it is an excellent opportunity to attack.

Umbrella Bird's eyes darkened slightly. Although he didn't show much externally, he was extremely angry inside.

wow~ wow~
Li Ming turned sideways and ran quickly, and Umbrella Bird followed.

One person and one bird soon came to the shore.

Ow!Ow!
The umbrella bird made an excited cry, apparently deciding that the shore was more suitable for its performance.

"Humph! Humph!"

Li Ming stepped on the ground a few times and raised the corners of his mouth.

Both sides are very confident, and Umbrella Bird seems to be eager to regain the situation.

It takes off again and hangs in the air, spitting out projectile flame balls.

Li Ming rushed forward quickly and launched an attack.

Puff~Puff~
Two flame balls were glued to the leg and chest armor.

There was no detonation, it just continued to burn.

Li Ming did not stop and continued to move forward.

"Li Ming! You're on fire!"

Chuying shouted loudly. "It's okay! Keep attacking!"

Li Ming said, speeding up his running pace.

The Umbrella Bird hadn't seen any clues yet. It just felt that the hunter in front of it might just be more tolerant, so it spewed flame balls more frequently.

Five flame balls adhered to Li Ming's body, and black smoke floated around him.

The hunter in front of him has become incomprehensible to the umbrella bird.

Under normal circumstances, the opponent should be rolling on the ground while constantly howling in pain.

Remove the shield and axe, feint with the shield on top, and slash out with the charged sword.

The sword blade left a cut mark on its beak, and the pain made the umbrella bird wake up suddenly.

The paws fell down and touched the ground, and they immediately jumped on the ground.

During the jump, the umbrella bird turned its direction, with its tail facing Li Ming. At the same time, it bent its neck back to observe his movements.

Li Ming suddenly understood the move the other party was about to launch.

He immediately changed his posture and tried his best to block and resist.

The wings flapped and the umbrella bird flipped on the spot.

The hook-shaped toe claws cut the ground, hanging upside down and kicking.

when!
At this time, Li Mingben used a softened defensive posture to ease the impact and slide back.

Seeing the strong obstacle encountered by its paws, the umbrella bird's body was unbalanced, and its feet immediately pressed down to stop.

Use your body to offset the impact, assemble your shield and axe, and strike vertically with one axe.

The ax blade cut into the crown of his head, which caused Umbrella Bird, which was already on the verge of losing balance, to fall to the ground from mid-air. Li Ming moved back to adjust the distance, aimed at the head and released the six-series lightning axe.

Pooh!Pooh!
Under the continuous blows, the umbrella bird's crown was broken and shattered, and its beak was split.

The feet are on the ground and the wings are beating.

The Umbrella Bird stood up again and quickly moved back to widen the distance.

Seeing that the most powerful killing moves, somersaults and flying kicks, failed to shake the opponent, the flame ball was also ineffective.

The umbrella bird uses one paw to land on the ground and uses its strength to fly up into the air.

Using an unbeautiful gesture, he flapped his wings and fled quickly.

Li Ming jumped into the river, and bursts of green smoke rose.

"Li Ming! Are you okay, meow!"

Looking at the shocking burn marks on the surface of the armor, Midoduo asked worriedly.

"Wow."

Li Ming raised his head from the water and responded: "I'm fine. Did you throw away the dyed ball?"

"I threw two, and they both hit Meow."

"Then collect the feathers left behind by the umbrella bird, especially those on the crest. I have to check the armor."

"Check the armor. Are you really okay, meow?"

Midoduo still couldn't stop worrying.

"Don't worry, go collect it quickly. Recruiting cats depends on these feathers."

One person, two cats in the team, and the rescue team immediately got busy.

Soon the remaining feathers at the scene were gathered together.

Li Ming found a long bamboo pole, tied the feathers on one end, and placed it on the cat cart.

"I understand, you want to use the feathers of the umbrella bird to inform Elu and Melu at the ruined shrine that Nuanyang Camp Ten can provide safety."

Chuying expressed her speculation.

"Yes, semi-wild cats are not very familiar with camp recruitment, let alone fully wild cats, so we must let them intuitively understand our strength."

"Are you going to chase the umbrella bird next?"

"My physical strength is very high, and it seems to be timid. If I continue to pursue it, it may escape from the area. The hunting can be postponed for a while."

Li Ming expressed his opinion.

"Okay, then I'll send you back to the camp to rest, and we'll contact the Wild Cat Tribe."

"Actually, as long as there is food, there is no need to rest in the camp."

"Then what do you mean"

Chuying didn't understand.

Li Ming turned to look at Maocha.

In the bamboo forest, Li Ming was lying on the cat cart, holding the cat statue and resting with his eyes closed.

"It's meow."

After Midoduo shouted, he came to the rock wall with red graffiti and peered in from the narrow crack.

"Meow meow?"

A warning cry came from the rock crevice.

Midoduo said nothing, took a few steps back, summoned all members of the rescue team, and stood in a row.

An ensemble of musical instruments sounded, and several cats danced.

Bamboo poles tied with umbrella bird feathers and cat-paw flags of the Nuanyang tribe are waving alternately on the left and right.

The lively scene made the tired Li Ming get up from the cat car and watch.

The dozen or so wild plum blossoms watching from behind the crack in the rock had never seen such a scene before.

All the cats' eyes were widened, staring blankly.

"Is this rock crevice the entrance to the tribe?"

Li Ming asked curiously.

"As far as map annotation goes, yes meow, what's the problem?"

Bubu asked confused.

"Is it really possible to get in and out of such a gap between the rock crevices? Or cats have to dig their way through here."

"You don't understand cats and cats, as long as there is a gap, we can do it"

Bubu said, retracting his belly.

Phew~
The belly contraction failed and rebounded again.

"Okay, I'm still a little short, meow."

Driven by music and dance, the black cats Melu emerged sideways from the cracks in the rock one by one.

The cats have sticky fur, are skinny, and have dull eyes. Each Melu looks lifeless.

But the other side still lined up, followed the etiquette between cats, and communicated through dance.

"It's so pathetic."

Chuying said with emotion.

"I'm going to unload the raw meat, meow."

Bubu immediately took action.

After confirming that there was no threat to the team, leader Melu, the only leader in the tribe who could speak human language, started negotiations with Midodo.

Mido took advantage of his eloquence, while Mao Zhao gestured and spoke hard at the same time.

Chief Melu was skeptical at first, but he quickly dispelled his doubts when he saw the crest made of umbrella bird feathers on the top of the bamboo pole.

Choose to take the 17 melu in the tribe, follow the ruthless team, and join the warm camp.

The team moved on.

Some semi-wild cat tribes have more convenient communication, but most of them have formed their own tribal rules.

Some just want to make money, some don't believe in cats, and some have a grudge against humans.

Although most people have heard of Nuanyangyang Camp, they are not very interested in joining.

The team didn't fight hard, left some raw meat, and continued to the next place.

Some lone cats met in the forest and saw that there were many cats, so they followed the cat cart.

Li Ming asked the other party what he was doing, but the other party couldn't explain clearly. Anyway, he just kept following him.

Whatever everyone does, the lonely cat will imitate it and work very hard. It feels like it really doesn’t want to be abandoned by this group.

Cats can also be recruited in this way, which is quite surprising to the team.

When we returned to the camp late at night, the number of Ellu and Melu recruited together reached an astonishing 43. The results were beyond expectations.

Look at the cats gobbling in front of the campfire.

Li Ming realized that in this extremely chaotic natural ecology, humans were not the only ones who were becoming increasingly unsustainable.
