Journey to the Plains Chapter 35 The Unknown Fierce Bird
The mountain peaks are numerous, the grass and trees are fragrant, Ah Ran and others have gone all the way, and they have reached the depths of the Jianhui Mountains, the road surface is getting narrower and narrower, and the originally flat road surface has begun to appear potholes, fortunately, such a road surface is not a big problem for A Ran and his party!
There are steep mountain peaks and cliffs on both sides of the road, and from time to time there are some insects and birds, which is very pleasant to listen to!
Ah Ran and the others walked on the road and observed the surroundings all the time, along the way, the two minotaurs took turns with the elder brother, fortunately, the elder brother's body is not too heavy, and it is not a problem to sit on the burly minotaur at all, as long as you pay attention when you are in too low places, don't touch it!
While walking on the road, Ah Ran listened to the brother's introduction to the white-headed mountain eagle: [The white-headed mountain eagle] has a body length of three meters and a wingspan of six to eight meters. It is a large bird of prey with a beautiful appearance and a fierce temperament. The mouth and claws are very sharp and hooked, and the eyes are keen. Like most carnivorous birds of prey, females are larger than males, with pale yellow eyes, beak and feet, white head, neck and tail, and dark brown on the rest of the body.
The size of the bald head mountain eagle varies with age, gender, and living area. Juvenile eagles tend to be larger than adult eagles, because young eagles have longer tail feathers and wing feathers, and despite these longer feathers, juvenile eagles do not weigh as much as adult eagles. The plumage of the juvenile whitehead eagle is dark brown, and the feathers on the head, neck and tail of the bald eagle gradually turn white as an adult.
The white heads hit the mountain carving eyebrow bones protruding, making them look very fierce in appearance. This protrusion can shield the eagle eye from the scorching sun, and can also protect the eagle eye from wind and dust. When the eagle flies up and down to perch on the tree, the broken branches and strips may bounce up, and the protruding eyebrow bone can play a good role in protecting the eagle's eyes. In addition, the protruding brow bone protects the carved eye from struggling prey.
The white-headed mountain eagle has excellent visual ability, its eyes are large, and its eye sockets have little room to move, so its eyes cannot be turned around. In order to compensate for this shortcoming, many neck bones have been carved so that the neck can move flexibly. The eagle can turn its head two hundred and seventy degrees – that is, three-quarters of a circle. Like many other birds, the eagle's eyes have a special layer of eyelids, also known as transient membranes. This layer of eyelids keeps the eyes in a certain state and blocks irritating rays from the eyes.
The white-headed mountain carving has a thin and hollow skeleton, and the gaps are filled with air. Many of the carved bones are cohesive or joined together, which makes them particularly strong. This skeleton is able to hold them up well as they fly. The skeleton of an eagle weighs less than half the weight of its feathers. The feathers covered in the bird's body are called feathers, and the white-headed mountain carving has a unique feather coat. For an animal that survives by flying, it is crucial to keep its feathers in a good condition. The eagle spends a lot of time cleaning and maintaining its feathers every day. i.e. finishing feathers. The head hits the mountain and the tail of the eagle has a special sphere. The orb periodically secretes an oily liquid, which the eagle applies to its feathers. This fluid helps to waterproof the feathers and keep them neat. Once the bird has groomed its feathers, it shakes itself vigorously to shake off the loose feathers and put the other feathers in their place. It takes a long time to tidy up a feather thoroughly.
When Ah Ran and his brother learned about the white-headed mountain eagle, along the way, nothing happened, but occasionally encountered some weak beast puppets, such as the kind of white-headed mountain eagle introduced by the elder brother, and I didn't see one, which made Ah Ran feel a little strange, but it was good that there was no harassment of the white-headed mountain eagle, at least the speed of the team would not slow down, otherwise, it was not certain whether it could reach the predetermined location today! Judging from this situation, it seems that there is no problem for his group to reach the expected location! Ah Ran thought in his heart
After walking for a while, the pig-finch that flew in the sky and was in charge of guarding flew down, and found that there were signs of a large battle in front of Ruth, Ah Ran told the pig-finch to check if there were any other roads around him that could be bypassed, and the pig-finch flew out, and came back after a while, telling Ah Ran that he did not find any other roads that could lead to the front, and if he continued to march, he would definitely collide with the battle scene in front!
After thinking about it, Ah Ran closed his eyes and began to use the primary earth element power that he had just reached, after he was promoted to the sand puppet level, he was originally a preliminary master of the earth element force, and it became the primary level of comprehending the earth element force, Ah Ran tried this so-called primary earth element force on the way, in addition to being able to change himself at will, he also researched a new way to use it!
This new method is to use the geo-element force to obtain the frequency and strength of the ground transmission to determine the strength of some things, or a certain even!
Ah Ran stood still with his feet, carefully feeling the tremor from the ground, from the trembling sensation of the ground, the battlefield should not be particularly far away from Ah Ran, which is basically consistent with what the pig and the bird said, in terms of intensity, the strength of several participants in this battle is not low! In terms of frequency, it should be a war between groups, but I don't know what level this war has reached!
Ah Ran looked at the sky, thought about it, the old man in his team didn't have much combat power, and the two minotaurs were only level nine, although the strength was okay, but the speed was completely insufficient, he shook his head and muttered: "No!" and looked at the old leopard again! "The running speed is okay, and he can protect himself!" After commenting, he immediately looked at the piggy, "Well, although this guy's combat effectiveness is not very good, his flight speed still has nothing to say!" But when he thought of his current strength, he immediately shook his head!
It's still early, if you want to rest immediately, there is no good place here, it is better to go to the predetermined location, which is still more suitable for camping. But now that he was facing the battle ahead, Ah Ran still wanted to go over and see if he could find a chance to get past it!
In his own team, the old brother and the two minotaurs were directly dropped, and the remaining pigs and leopards could still escape if they couldn't beat them! But the old leopard is too big, and it is directly Paz off, the strength of the pig and the bird is not good, if it is really a fight, he can't take care of him, and after thinking about it, the pig and the bird can't be brought, Ah Ran can use the power of the earth to hide the breath, and can also detect the enemy, and the strength is at the level of a sand puppet, even if it is discovered, it is easy to escape by himself, and the more people he brings, the easier it is to be discovered!
Thinking of this, Ah Ran told his brother about his thoughts, and the brother knew that Ah Ran would not easily change what he had made up his mind about, so he thought about it and gave Ah Ran some suggestions, and told Ah Ran about the weaknesses of some birds of prey and beasts of prey that often haunt here. Ah Ran also remembered them one by one in his mind!
Ah Ran waved his hand and received the recovery space for the two minotaurs, the old leopard, the pig and the brother, and began to hide his figure with the power of the earth element, while probing the situation ahead, while paying attention to the nearby environment! Ah Ran's figure slowly approached the battlefield in front of him along some cover!
Although the road is not very far, Ah Ran is indeed extra careful when walking, and almost always walks when he is sure that there is no danger!
As the journey progressed, some clay puppet corpses gradually began to appear on the road, most of which were white-headed mountain eagles that the old man had explained, and there were also some birds that were not too strong, and the corpse of one of them was indeed not within the scope of the brother's description!
Ah Ran observed that its appearance and the whole body size is larger than the white-headed mountain eagle, Ah Ran saw the largest corpse, the height reached nearly four meters, the wingspan is estimated to be about ten meters, the body is strong, with a short and side-flattened huge hooked mouth, the face is black, the upper body feathers are dark brown, the lower body is light yellow or interspersed with white, and there are many spear-like crown feathers about the length of an adult's forearm clustered behind the head, and the color is yellow with spots.
These crested feathers are high in a semicircle. The eyes are grayish-blue, the hooked beak is grayish-black, the throat is white striped, and the thighs are covered with feathers. The extraordinarily long tail has black stripes on it. It is similar in appearance to the young birds of the bald eagle, but the back and wing feathers are heavily trimmed with white feathers, and some have scale shapes.
Ah Ran has sent about seventy or eighty such corpses along the way, and the corpses of the white-headed mountain eagle are even more, along the way Ah Ran found that there are no less than three hundred, basically, every white-headed body of the mountain eagle is torn apart by a sharp beak, and the wound is shocking!
Listening to the sound of the fight ahead, it is estimated that it will not be over for a while, and the corpses of these birds do not know if they have no time to clean up, you must know that if the corpses are not cleaned up for a long time, it is very bad, then I will be a good person for free and help you collect the corpses!
Just do what you want, this is Ah Ran's code of action, Ah Ran, who was holding hands and feet, nervously observed the surroundings, came to the corpse of a bird, and with a movement of his mind, the broken bird corpse arrived in the recovery space!
One or two... Four or five, and soon the bird corpses on the ground were all collected by Ah Ran into the recycling space! Looking at the clean appearance on the ground, Ah Ran stretched out his hand and patted himself and said: "We never leave a name for doing good deeds, if you have to know my name, then call me Lei Feng!"
