The next moment, those creatures disguised as "short branches" suddenly move, they are beating fast on the thick branches.

    In the dim light, Renault couldn''t see them clearly. He could only see that in the crown of the surrounding giant trees, there were a lot of shadowy shadows moving. In the crown of the trees, there were many voices of wings waving and many cries.

    After hearing these sounds, he immediately understood what the shadow was.

    They are some kind of bird!

    It turned out that the "broken" branches were disguised by these strange birds. Their feather color and standing posture are very similar to those of branches. In addition, they can keep still for a long time, which is very deceptive.

    Renault moved before these strange birds.

    In his soul space, the book of thermodynamics suddenly emerged. The first page of the book opened automatically. The rune array representing reverse heat conduction suspended on the page, and the light golden light began to flow.

    Then Renault looked at a strange bird more than 20 meters away. A lot of magic energy jumped to its vicinity, and the air became extremely hot in the blink of an eye.

    Under the control of Renault''s mental power, magic can jump to nearly half a meter in front of the strange bird. Then it meets an inexplicable resistance and can''t move any further.

    This strange bird jumps on the branch a few times, and then bumps into the hot air area. After the hot air touches its feathers, it immediately burns up.

    The strange bird cries in panic and tries to escape from the hot air area by waving its wings. However, after the wings are opened, the contact surface with the hot air becomes larger, and its behavior increases the fire and the fire becomes more fierce.

    In the blink of an eye, the strange bird turned into a fireball, illuminating the nearby area.

    Then Renault could see what the birds looked like.

    Their body length is close to 1 meter, which is not too big in this world. Their feathers are yellowish brown, which is exactly the same color as the bark. Their legs are extremely strong, and their wings are short. Obviously, their flying ability is weak.

    It is particularly noteworthy that their sharp beaks, though also yellowish brown, have some kind of brilliance flowing on the surface under the fire light.

    Due to the existence of magic energy, most organisms also have magic energy. In the long process of evolution, many organisms adapted to the magic energy environment, and some parts of the body also changed.

    The beak of this strange bird obviously belongs to the same situation.

    The burning bird just struggled for a moment, then it fell down from the branch. The fireball fell to the ground, still burning. A kind of meat fragrance diffused.

    When Renault smelled the fragrance, he began to secrete a large amount of saliva uncontrollably in his mouth, and the feeling of hunger became more and more intense.

    Mu Si looked at the strange bird with a trace of confusion in his eyes. He seemed to be remembering something. Then he changed his face and roared: "Damn it, this is the stone cracker. You quit immediately. I''ll cover..."

    When she heard the word "stone cracker", Angela thought of something in a moment, and her face showed the color of fear.

    Cleft stone owl is a rare social bird in the world. The number of bird groups is often as high as more than 100, and a few large bird groups even more than 300.

    Their beaks are extremely hard and harder than steel. When they peck with their beaks, they can even pierce rocks, which is the origin of the word "crack stone" in their name.

    It''s not too strong to be a single cleft stone owl, but once they gather in groups, their power is quite amazing when they start pecking at the same time. They can instantly kill huge prey, so even many powerful beasts dare not provoke them in the forest.

    But the most frightening thing about them is not their beaks, but their strong camouflage ability.

    They can change the color of their feathers to simulate the bark of trees. With the increase of age, their simulation ability will become stronger and stronger. In the middle age, they can simulate the bark of more than 10 kinds of trees at most.

    They like to stand on the branches of trees and imitate the shape of the branches, which makes them very difficult to distinguish.

    Camouflage is also their most important hunting method. Birds will choose a place in the forest and collectively camouflage as branches to wait for their prey to fall into the trap. Once the prey breaks into the trap, they will attack them and kill them with sharp beaks.

    They are also very cunning. They only attack single or small number of prey. If the number of targets is large, they will only continue to camouflage and will not attack.

    Therefore, if a large group of human beings encounter a group of cleft stone owls in the forest, there is no need to worry. But if the number is small, the extraordinary will surely die, and the death is extremely tragic. Their bodies are pierced with countless blood holes, and finally become the food of the birds.

    However, the number of birds is not large. They usually live deep in the forest and are almost not close to the gathering place of human beings. There are relatively few bloodshed cases, so there are not many people who know about these birds.

    At this time, an extremely loud cry came from the distance. All the craggots were quiet for a moment, and suddenly they started to cry madly. The frequency of jumping on the branches increased significantly, and the forest became noisy immediately.Mu Si''s face became extremely ugly, and he knew that the group of cleft stone birds were about to attack.

    Some of them, who were closer to them, suddenly spread their wings, jumped up from the branches, quickly flapped their wings and dived down at the three.

    During the dive, they fold up their wings, straighten their feet, keep their bodies streamlined, and rush towards them with sharp beaks.

    If the falling stone owl is a very large dart, then the beak is the sharp sharp spines on the dart, or the super sharp spines strengthened by magic power.

    It can be imagined that once the "darts" hit them, these sharp "spikes" would certainly poke big holes in them.

    At this time, more rippled stone owls came from afar, launched a fatal dive, and a "dart" swept through the air.

    When the front group of stone cradles dived to the place more than ten meters away from them, their feathers suddenly burst into flames, and seven or eight bright fire balls appeared in the air in the blink of an eye.

    It turns out that Renault has quietly arranged a large area of hot air around them, forming a hot hot hot air shield to surround them.

    After his magic power has been greatly increased, he can do it effortlessly.

    In this moment, the original "prey" finally showed ferocious claws.

    And this group of intruding cleft stone birds became prey.
