Chapter 571 Coercion and inducement
Bathed in sunlight, hyacinth macaws fluttered and circled above their heads.
The blue feathers, like high-end velvet, wrapped around its body, making it reach its peak of beauty at this moment.
Last night, especially when it was put in a net, the flickering firelight only served to highlight the majesty of the hyacinth macaw.
Bai Mengyan was momentarily mesmerized, her gaze filled with admiration as she watched it flutter its enormous wings and dance.
"Tsk, in this daytime light, I believe it's worth 200 million."
Lan Yu glided and finally landed on a horizontal branch of a tall tree in front of the group, staring intently at them below.
Su Jiancheng quickly walked a few steps to Leng Yuexiu's side, "This guy has really been tamed by Hui, he's here to deliver a message to us?"
Leng Yuexiu activated the light screen on the wristband, established a communication connection with the gray wristband, and saw a series of new contents.
He raised an eyebrow. "Grey has temporarily converted his wristband into a mini base station, which contains the latest survey maps. However, it seems that his wristband is still offline, and we still cannot contact them."
Su Jiancheng hadn't expected that Gray could provide such important documents. She looked up at the macaw and asked, "Could it be that this guy collected the survey map of the terrain while flying around?"
Leng Yuexiu didn't even look up. "Very likely. Judging from its wings, it does quite a bit of that kind of activity."
Su Jiancheng couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement, "Tsk, I never thought I'd be raising a spirit pet one day."
He was sighing, "Wait a minute, our equipment includes at least eight heavy-duty shooting drones and a swarm of drones. Why aren't Gray and his crew using drones for surveying?"
Leng Yue was carefully comparing the terrain mapping map with the offline terrain map she had previously received on her wristband, and was trying to find the most convenient route.
Blue Feather was indeed there to lead the way, but it flies in the sky and can go anywhere without any obstacles. However, the people in their team walk on two legs and cannot rely entirely on the macaw. Analyzing the map is essential.
Without even looking up, he said, annoyed by Su Jiancheng's chatter, "Use your pig brain. If the terminal device had a signal that could control it, would he go out of his way to train a mutant parrot?"
"Don't get in my way. Instead of wasting your time, use it to improve your abilities. You're the worst in the team."
Su Jiancheng's face fell, her eyes filled with sorrow, and she muttered, "It's not even certain who's the worst yet. Hui and Wu Wei probably haven't even awakened their superpowers..."
The others in the group exchanged glances, but no one said a word.
Yan Lina was very bored. She greeted Bai Mengyan and left alone down a side path.
Bai Mengyan glanced at Cheng Kaixi and whispered, "It seems this parrot is a mutated one. Its stupid behavior yesterday was probably just an act."
Cheng Kaixi looked at the macaw standing elegantly on the branch and confirmed, "It seems that's right. We were all attracted by the news about the gray wristband, and its constant repetition of phrases was a novel experience for us, so we didn't use our abilities to perceive it more deeply for the time being."
"With Captain Leng confirming the authenticity of Gray's wristband, we subconsciously associated it with Grayification, and naturally trusted it more, so we became less vigilant about it."
Cheng Kaixi's eyes were complicated. "Actually, this guy's attack power is not low, but it is known as the flying hydraulic shear. We have been a little too lenient with it."
Bai Mengyan didn't think the macaw was any intimidating. "In my opinion, the greater threat is the life shielded by the location signal."
“Actually, we could have gone down the mountain and taken the road that leads directly to the zoo, but Leng rejected the plan. Something must have happened in the mountains.”
She thought for a moment and continued, "If there are a lot of plants like the mutated banyan tree, it will be a lot of trouble for us."
Cheng Kaixi knew her concerns, sighed softly, and then put on a relaxed expression, "If Brother Hui can set up camp comfortably inside, there shouldn't be any major problems. Let's just deal with it as it comes."
Bai Mengyan looked up at the macaw taking off, and Leng Yuexiu had just turned off the light screen on his wristband. "Let's go, it seems there are results and we need to set off."
"Ah."
The group continued their march, this time at a much faster pace than the previous day.
With the macaw providing general direction and the latest terrain mapping on Leng Yuexiu's wristband, they bypassed the second, not-too-high mountain in just half a day.
Of course, they didn't climb to the top, but instead took a winding path around the mountainside.
At noon, they found a relatively flat, sunny platform to rest.
The macaw landed and, with light, quick steps, accurately found Cheng Lu, asking for water.
"Give me a sip, sweet water, Lanlan wants to drink sweet water~"
Lan Yu's voice is playful, and her affected manner is very comical.
Bai Mengyan seized the opportunity to sidle up to it, first showering it with praise, "Wow, you're not only beautiful, but also so smart, and you even know how to beg for water! Lulu, quickly pour it some water, the little guy is exhausted from leading the way."
Praised by Bai Mengyan's flattery, Lan Yu immediately puffed out her chest and half-closed her eyes like a peacock spreading its tail feathers.
Bai Mengyan suppressed a laugh, "So, according to you, your name is Lanlan? Can we call you that?"
When Lan Yu drank the water that Cheng Lu had prepared for it, it made exaggerated sounds of enjoyment and kept chirping and praising it.
Bai Mengyan moved the water in front of her, "You can continue drinking if you answer yes."
Lan Yu clearly only regarded them as ordinary people. Apart from Black Hawk, who captured him yesterday and showed some skills, the others seemed harmless.
It feigned anger, its crest slightly open, its claws slapping against the makeshift table, as it approached Bai Mengyan step by step, spreading its wings to make itself appear larger and more imposing.
Bai Mengyan's smile slowly faded, her eyes still fixed on the macaw. Layers of supernatural energy surged around her, her power steadily increasing as she engaged in an invisible battle with the macaw.
Everyone else noticed Bai Mengyan's supernatural energy fluctuations and looked over. Su Jiancheng chuckled, "Oh, you dare to mess with the little princess? You're asking for trouble."
He made a move to walk forward and said to Bai Mengyan, "Why are you wasting your breath talking to it? If you want to ask something, why don't you just hang it up and interrogate it?"
Leng Yuexiu glanced at Su Jiancheng, signaling him to step back.
Su Jiancheng was also happy to watch the fun, so she retreated to Leng Yuexiu's side and stood there loosely with her arms crossed.
Lan Yu saw ripples spreading across the water in the bottle cap in front of Bai Mengyan, and the increasingly intense sense of pressure made it somewhat flustered.
It let out a howl, which sounded a lot like a duck's voice, as if it had been startled and let out a strange "ah" sound, as if it was about to flap its wings and take off.
His disheveled escape did not escape the eyes of everyone present.
