Chapter Seventy-Four: Reciprocity
"Is this a reward?"
Fengyun looked at the black light beast that had broken two big trees before stopping, and looked quite surprised.
Thump!
The black light beast that landed flew up again, this time falling in front of Fengyun, and was thrown over by the white snake.
Immediately after, a white light appeared next to the black light beast, it was the white snake.
It cocked its tail, pointed at the Black Light Beast, and then at Fengyun, as if it was worried that Fengyun would not understand, and opened its mouth, imitating the action of eating eggs.
"You're letting me eat?"
Fengyun pointed with his finger and thought about it, still wanting to confirm.
White Snake didn't hesitate this time, and immediately nodded.
Fengyun was amazed.
As their communication increased, White Snake's comprehension ability was rapidly improving.
"Thank you for your kindness, I can't eat it, this thing is poisonous. ”
Fengyun is telling the truth.
Black light is poisonous not only on its claws, but also in its flesh and blood, and even the prey it kills is poisonous.
After eating, there will be severe abdominal pain, and blood will spurt and die.
The white snake's high head drooped slightly, apparently disappointed.
"You don't have to be too disappointed. Although the Black Light Beast cannot be eaten, it is not useless. ”
Unconsciously, Fengyun has regarded the White Snake as an existence that can communicate freely.
Fengyun walked towards the Black Light Beast, and did not retreat just because the White Snake was beside it, hesitating.
He had already seen that it had no intention of attacking him, otherwise with its terrifying speed and attack power, he would have died for a long time.
He had clearly seen that the Black Light Beast's fatal wound was in the head.
Its entire head had been completely shattered, leaving only the outer skin intact, soft and lying on its stomach like a water bag.
Fengyun picked one of the best arrows from the quiver and tried to use it to cut off the claws of the Black Light Beast's limbs.
The claws are poisonous and cannot be used to kill prey, but they can be used against enemies.
Fengyun tossed for a while before cutting off the four claws of the Black Light Beast.
According to Tyrant's introduction, the Black Light Beast is an intermediate-level brute, but it is the best of the intermediate-level brute beasts, even more terrifying than some high-level brute beasts.
Not only does it have a strong attack, but it also has good defense.
Its fur is so smooth that an arrow can even slip away when it hits it.
Fortunately, its numbers are very scarce, otherwise the hunters of the tribe would have suffered great losses.
When cutting its claws, the words of the storm were confirmed one by one.
The skin and tendons were very tough, and the fur was very slippery, and with his control, there were many slips.
"It's a pity. ”
Looking at the Black Light Beast, a trace of regret appeared on Fengyun's face.
If it weren't for the fact that its flesh was also poisonous, it would have been possible to make a good piece of armor by peeling it off.
Instead of taking the four claws of the Black Light Beast away, Fengyun set it aside and covered it with some dirt and dead leaves.
The White Snake tilted its head and looked at the place where the Black Light Beast's four claws were buried, and there was confusion in his eyes.
"The blood of the Black Light Beast is poisonous, and I am sucking its blood out. ”
Fengyun gave an explanation, which seemed natural, and he didn't feel anything wrong with it.
He stuck the blood-stained arrow into a nearby tree, pulled a large bunch of weeds, and tied a knot in it so that it could be easily found when he returned.
"It's a marker, and it's easy to find when you come back. Let's go. We continue to look for the eggs. ”
Fengyun nodded to the White Snake and turned to leave.
About a quarter of an hour later, Fengyun saw a forest like no other, with leaves divided into five petals, resembling the palm of a human hand.
Hand leaf tree, this is mentioned during the small talk of Storm and Fengyun, but he has never seen the real thing.
Seeing the handleaf forest, Fengyun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and the whole person was relaxed.
When Storm talks about the Hand Leaf Tree, he also mentions the creatures that live in it, including a kind of bird.
Toucans, their beaks are very long, even longer than their bodies.
They love to build nests in hand-leaf trees, and there are hundreds, if not thousands, of them in each hand-leaf forest.
They also have a special way of building their nests, using their long beaks to cut holes in the trunk of trees and lay their eggs inside.
Even if it's not the best time to breed, but the large number of billers can't stand it, and it should be able to find a lot of eggs to feed the white snake.
The subsequent search confirmed Fengyun's prediction, and it was indeed very rewarding.
There are usually two or three eggs in ten nests, and there are quite a few in each nest, with the least three or four, and the most close to ten.
The only trouble is that the toucan is more aggressive, and will attack Fengyun when he goes to collect the eggs.
But it's not a bad thing.
The long-billed birds weren't even beasts, and even if Fengyun stood still and let them attack, they wouldn't be able to hurt him in the slightest.
Especially after Fengyun shot a few of them, they didn't dare to attack anymore and only shouted from a distance.
"Here you go!"
Fengyun placed a large bag, at least a hundred bird eggs, in front of the white snake.
The white snake immediately pounced, shook his head, and ate very happily.
"Oh, yes. I have a question for you. Why do you want me to help you find the eggs? It shouldn't be difficult to find the eggs with your abilities, after all, you can even coerce the Goldenfeather Eagle into handing it over the eggs itself. ”
Fengyun saw that White Snake was in a good mood, and tentatively asked a question that had been bothering him for a long time.
But he didn't expect to get an answer.
Although the White Snake's comprehension ability has improved greatly, it can't speak after all, and if it's a little more complicated, I'm afraid it won't be able to express it.
The white snake just raised its head and glanced at Fengyun, without making any indications, but Fengyun still saw a trace of strange emotion in its eyes.
It's a pity that the existence time was too short, and he disappeared before he could see it.
If it weren't for the sharpness of his gaze, I'm afraid it would have been an illusion.
Without a satisfactory answer, Fengyun still came to a conclusion based on the strange emotion in the white snake's eyes.
The White Snake will follow him, and asking him to help find food is definitely not the main reason, there must be a deeper reason.
Fengyun was ready to go back and ask Wu, hoping that he could give him a satisfactory answer.
The white snake's appetite was indeed amazing, and it was enough to eat more than two hundred eggs of the long-billed bird before it stopped.
The eggs of the toucan are not small, they are larger than the eggs.
"You're full. Can you stop following me? I'll give you all these eggs. ”
Fengyun pointed to the nearly 100 eggs left on the ground, and tried to discuss it with the white snake.
The white snake didn't say anything explicit, just tilted his head and looked at him.
"Okay. Follow along if you want. ”
Fengyun understood what it meant at once, and wanted to let it go, but it was impossible.
"You're full, I'm hungry. I'm going to look for something to eat now. Well, don't worry, I'll keep these eggs for you. ”
Fengyun found some large leaves, made a few more thin rattans, and strung them together to make a simple basket.
Put some soft weeds in the basket and put the eggs in.
Fengyun carried the basket and turned around to walk out of the handleaf forest.
The white snake's tail lightly touched the ground and flew towards him.
Fengyun couldn't help but be shocked, but he soon realized that it had no intention of attacking him, and that it was targeting the basket with the bird's eggs in his hand.
"Wouldn't it be hungry again? If you just help it find eggs, you can exhaust yourself to death. ”
Fortunately, the situation was not as Fengyun imagined, after the white snake fell into the basket, he did not eat the bird's eggs, but the bird's eggs were plated on a plate, and his head drooped.
"It turned out that I was full of food and sleepy. It scared me. ”
Fengyun carried the basket and walked out of the handleaf forest, and began to look around, searching for traces of the prey.
Luckily, it didn't take long for him to reap the rewards.
He saw a pile of feces, very fresh, judging by Professor Tyrant's experience, it shouldn't have lasted more than two hours.
Following the trails left behind, Fengyun soon spotted a forkhorned deer in a relatively sparse wood.
Fengyun was very happy, the pronghorned deer was not only large and delicious, but also an intermediate brute.
Fengyun got closer, placed the basket on the ground, raised his spear and prepared to shoot.
But before his spear left his hand, the pronghorned deer fell to the ground.
The White Snake struck again, appearing at the top of the forkhorn deer's head at an alarming speed, and then slapped its tail on the door of its head, and it immediately fell to the ground.
After the white snake knocked down the fork-horned deer, its tail was a little on the forkhorn deer, flew back upside down, and landed in front of Fengyun, looking at him, as if asking him for credit.
"Thank you. ”
Fengyun thanked the White Snake and walked over to the Pronghorn Deer.
Before carrying it, he touched its head with his hand, and the large piece of the teacup on its skull had been completely shattered.
Back at his lodgings, Fengyun set the basket aside and began to dispose of the pronghorn deer.
The White Snake also stopped staying in the basket, ran to his side, and watched him busy.
Fengyun didn't care about it, he was just busy on his own, he was really hungry.
Soon, the pronghorned deer was pierced by Fengyun with the heart of a mutated ancient tree and roasted on the fire.
White Snake didn't leave, and stayed by the fire with Fengyun.
The firelight danced in the eyes of the white snake, but its performance was very calm, not at all afraid.
After roasting, Fengyun couldn't wait to cut off a deer leg and prepare to feast on it.
But suddenly he remembered something, put the deer's leg aside, cut a large piece of meat on the deer with his knife, cut it into pieces of moderate size, and placed it in front of the white snake.
"Eat. It's delicious. It's guaranteed to taste much better than bird eggs. ”
Fengyun is still very confident in his cooking skills.
But this time he was hit, and White Snake just sniffed it and turned his head to the side, not at all interested.
After eating, Fengyun walked into the cave and tied the heart of the mutated ancient tree, and he prepared to go back to the tribe to ask Wu Wu to find out why the White Snake followed him.
It didn't mean to attack him, but if he didn't understand the reason, he was still unsure.
