Chapter 92: White-footed Albatross
The black-topped albatross of the Land of Water, the white-footed Albatross of the Land of Soup.
I don't know that there is actually no second choice in the fire genma.
In the current situation, the country of water may fall into the trap of the country of fire at any time, the two countries are suspicious of each other and wary, if he goes to the country of water to find the black-capped albatross, he will not even have to leave his life.
And the land of Yu is an ally of the country of fire, and the two sides have a good relationship, even if they pass in the open, there will be no problem, and maybe even be treated as a "super citizen".
So naturally, I don't know that I can only go to the land of the soup to find the white-footed albatross.
After making his choice, he went on to find several books and carefully read a lot of information about the habits, characteristics and other information about the albatross, especially the white-footed albatross.
After some research, he finally confirmed that the white-footed albatrosses, which inhabit the eastern coast of Yuno Kuni, spawn from the end of July to the beginning of October every year.
It's March '44, in other words, he's going to have to wait at least four months before he can leave.
After all, according to the experience of predecessors, for bird psychic beasts, human incubation is also a very important part, and the potential of avian psychic beasts cultivated from eggs will obviously be greater.
In the waiting of the ignorant fire genma, five months passed quickly.
August 44.
In the past few months, the chaos in the Land of Rain has become more and more prominent, with more and more traitors, wandering ninjas, and local forces.
The battlefield of Kawanokuni is the same as before, Konoha is attacking fiercely, and although Shagakure is very hard, he is still gritting his teeth and struggling to resist.
Clearly, Shagakure was still waiting for something that could turn the tide of the battle......
"What? You're going to the land of Yuno to dig up birds' eggs! Jiraiya, who was working on an outline for his new work, widened his eyes.
"Uh...... Be. After a long period of consideration, I decided to use the albatross as my psychic animal, and now that the white-footed albatross is in breeding season, I am ready to take a month off from you. ”
As soon as Huo Xuanjian finished speaking, he picked up a manuscript at hand, patted the table and said, "Then what about the remaining illustrations of this "Affectionate Life"? I'm getting ready to contribute! ”
"Is my reputation as "never delayed" going to be ruined just because you caught the albatross?"
For more than a year, with the delicate illustrations of the ignorant fire genre, a number of short stories have been published one after another, which has unsurprisingly set off a lot of movement in the adult (harmonious) literary world.
There are followers, but more often than not, it is the traditional adult (harmonious) writers who accuse the combination of the two of being too naked, seriously hurting the sanctity of literature and art, and causing a wave of controversy.
However, contrary to the literary world, readers have responded to this very enthusiastically, but anyone who has read Jiraiya's novel has read it a hundred times and never gets tired of reading it.
By word of mouth, the name Jiraiya is about to become a symbol of adult (harmonious) literature in the new era of the ninja world.
Fortunately, I don't know that Huo Genma didn't sign his real name.
Otherwise, he may also have the honor of being honored, and most likely even go further, becoming the "youngest underage adult painter in history" with an even more terrifying name.
Although there is no reputation, the manuscript fee is real.
So far, relying on the 20% share of the manuscript fee paid by Jiraiya, I don't know that Huo Genma has earned millions of taels, and he has gained a lot.
Jiraiya stared, and was about to say more, but he didn't know that Huo Genma seemed to have been prepared, and took out a few pictures in his arms.
"My lord, I have already drawn the pictures, and I will definitely not delay the publication of the novel."
Zilai was also stunned for a moment, took the picture and looked at it intently for a while, and his old face gradually turned a little red: "You kid...... This time it's pretty neat. ”
"Then, Jiraiya-sama, I'll leave for the land of Yuno in the afternoon."
Jiraiya looked at the illustration carefully, then touched his chin, as if he was about to make some important decision, and asked, "Are you so interested in psychics?" ”
Listening to his tone, I don't know that Huo Xuanma's heart suddenly jumped, and he inexplicably gave birth to a little sense of expectation.
Jiraiya was silent for a moment, as if hesitating about something.
After a while, he sighed slightly and said, "Okay, I'll allow you to go to the land of Yunoku to catch albatross - remember not to overdue." ”
“……”
……
In the afternoon of the same day, I didn't know that Genma had cleaned up a little, so he put on his backpack and went straight to the country of Yuno.
Yunokuni is basically directly east of the rain country, and he set off from Konoha camp and traveled east, taking less than three days to reach his destination.
On the east coast of Yuno Kuni, somewhere sea cliff.
I didn't know that Huo Xuanma walked to the top of the cliff, looked up, and saw many white-footed albatross soaring in the sky, and birds chirping. Above the sea, there are also many albatrosses swimming.
"Phew-"
As the name suggests, the white-footed albatrosses' feet are snow-white, as if painted with a layer of paint, which is the most distinctive feature that distinguishes them from other albatrosses.
Of course, not only the feet, but most of their bodies are white, except that the wings are black in some places.
In addition, compared to most albatrosses, the white-footed albatross has a more streamlined body shape, which is flexible and faster.
No compared to what he had seen and heard in his previous life, the animals in the ninja world often did not have many frameworks or boundaries that were difficult to break, and the white-footed albatross was naturally no exception.
For example, after only a cursory look, I didn't know that Huo Xuanma saw several giant albatross with a wingspan of six or seven meters, each of which was majestic.
According to various books, as a large albatross, the white-footed albatross has a wingspan of at least three meters and a length of more than one meter, which is enough to carry an adult.
White-footed albatross are scattered along this large stretch of coast, so he stopped for a moment and continued along the cliffs, observing the many albatross in the sky.
"Phew-"
When the birds chirp, you can sometimes see the albatross burrowing into the water like lightning, and then the fish and shrimp of the mouth can jump out again.
Now is the peak season for white-footed albatrosses to lay eggs, and the monogamous often take turns to take on the responsibility of hatching.
Therefore, after catching fish and shrimp, the white-footed albatross flies directly back to the nest on the cliff wall with food, and then comes back to continue hunting.
For nearly ten days, I didn't know that Huo Genma had been observing and recording the white-footed albatross on this coast, preparing to pick out a better qualified one and then dig out the egg.
That morning, he was walking on a cliff, looking at the sky not far away.
"Whew-" A sharp birdsong suddenly sounded.
After a rather large albatross with a wingspan of seven or eight meters, it did not enter the water to feed like other albatrosses, but shook its wings, and the sea water below suddenly burst into a column of water, and countless fish and shrimp soared into the air.
Then it opened its mouth, swooped down and glided like lightning, and in an instant it did not know how many fish and shrimp it had clung to, and then flapped its wings and leisurely returned to its nest on the cliff wall.
