Chapter 60: Show off
By daybreak, the exploration team led by Feng Dust had left the camp five kilometers away. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The little Orion took advantage of the instructor's situation, and Amphines said that the protection of the camp was withdrawn at dawn, and several men set out to explore before dawn. This will ensure that the members of the team will not encounter danger for the first few kilometers, and will allow them to spot the powerful predator species as far away as possible.
Nearly 100 square kilometers of valley, three people trying to find a monster's lair is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, not to mention avoiding ferocious monsters at all times. Feng Dust's people knew from the beginning that this was a difficult and boring job, so while searching for the traces of the painted birds, the members of the exploration team had to try their best to provide the two people guarding the camp with information on any large monsters in the vicinity to reduce the pressure on the defense.
"So where do we start?" Feng Chen kept yawning, he slept too late last night, and got up too early today, even the cool morning mist in the forest couldn't bring him a moment of sobriety.
"You said you were familiar with the nearby terrain, and I thought you already had eyebrows." Shentu Miaoling spread her hands. She wore her beige hunting outfit today, and her legs were replaced by Dog Dragon Boots made by Amphines. Beauty is like a hanger, despite such a mixed style, there is no sense of disobedience on her body.
"At the bottom of this valley is a narrow flat land from west to east, the southern slope is steeper, the northern slope is much gentler, suitable for most land monsters, if you count the mountains and mountain caves on both sides, the place we are searching may be more than a hundred square kilometers." The corners of Feng Chen's mouth twitched, "I can't do anything if I don't know the habits of the colored birds." ”
"When it comes to birds, they usually nest in trees." Nie Xiaoyang said.
"Colored birds are bird dragon species." Shentu Miaoling corrected, "And it's huge, and the trees around here don't have branches that can support the weight of its nest. ”
"You know this monster?" Nie Xiaoyang remembered Shentu Miaoling's remarks on the day the instructor arrived, she was the first person to know what the instructor was doing.
"It's not an understanding." The girl pondered, "I've only vaguely read some of the accounts. ”
When everyone's eyes were smeared, some vague impressions were already very good, and Feng Chen motioned for the girl in yellow to continue.
"The birds are bigger than the monsters we've hunted, with strong wings and good flying." Several people listened to the girl's narration while following one direction, "Its coat color is mostly yellow-green, it has a huge developed pouch on its chest, and its beak is also trumpet-shaped to facilitate vocalization, and it is very aggressive." ”
"What about habits?" Feng Chen asked, "What does it eat?" Where do you like to nest? ”
"I don't know." Shentu Miaoling was a little apologetic.
"It's okay." Little Orion smiled, "That's pretty much enough." ”
The appearance of the monster is already very valuable information, at least the exploration team knows what kind of monster to find. Not only that, but the general appearance can also allow Feng Dust to infer the habits of the colorful birds.
"It's big, so it doesn't build a nest in a tree. Their nests should be on flat, open ground. "The platform that is too narrow is not conducive to take-off and landing, and it will be very troublesome to get out of the nest and go home." ”
"Then we can focus on finding open flat land?" Nie Xiaoyang asked.
"That's not going to work." Shentu Miaoling pointed to the trees around her, "These trees are too fragile for large monsters, and any medium-sized predator can easily create a clearing in a very short time. She glanced up at the sea of trees in the distance, "If the birds hide in the depths of the woods and carve out a random clearing, we won't be able to find them anyway." ”
"Then we'll go to the heights." Nie Xiaoyang pointed to the high cliff at the top of the valley, "You can always see it there." ”
"And then let's all three of us have dinner for the Wyvern?" Feng Chen said jokingly.
The group fell silent, and Feng Chen took a man and a woman around the corner and searched south.
"Do you have an idea?" Seeing that the guide was no longer moving forward aimlessly, Shentu Miaoling was keenly aware of something.
"Yes, we don't go looking for the birds, let them come to us." Feng Chen smiled mysteriously.
…………
"What are you doing here?" The girl asked, puzzled.
On the south side of the camp was a river, and after walking two kilometers along the river, Dust Sealing stopped at a narrow part of the channel.
He began to chop branches from trees by the river with his one-handed sword, collecting them and piling them into piles.
"Xiao Yang is here to help, I can't handle these branches alone." Sealing the dust beckoned.
Although he didn't know what medicine was sold in the little Orion gourd, Nie Xiaoyang still didn't think much about it and went to help. Although the skill of sealing the dust hunt is still at the bottom of the team, he has a surprisingly many ghost ideas, and many difficult hunts have been saved by his various gadgets and small traps.
At this point in time, the longer people stay in the dense forest, the more dangerous they and those who stay in the camp become. Regardless of whether the dust boy's method was good or not, Nie Xiaoyang still decided to try it first.
With the combined efforts of the two men, all the branches on the surrounding trees were cut down. The two of them pushed the branches into the river under the command of Feng Chen.
"You want to stop the river?" Shentu Miaoling still couldn't understand it.
The native trees in the valley are linden and oak trees, with slender branches and broad leaves, which are typical of temperate zones. Although the branches could easily reach across the river, the water could easily flow through the cracks in the embankment, and the rudimentary arrangement had no effect.
Nie Xiaoyang's eyes lit up, "It's a fish!" ”
Although there were many gaps in the piles of branches, they were enough to stop the larger sardines and sashimi in the water, and after only a while, a lot of fish species were piled up upstream of the wooden embankment, and Xiao Yang, who saw that the tall ones, wanted to go into the water to catch some to eat.
"Painted birds have trumpet-shaped beaks, so they are not good at pecking at insects and can't crush fruit shells." Feng Chen looked at the fruits of his and Nie Xiaoyang's labor, "If you insist that they feed on large animals, then they won't have such a strange habit as 'summoning predators'. ”
"Will the monsters you recruit grab food from you?" Shentu Miaoling said thoughtfully.
"So you're going to conclude that they're eating fish?" Nie Xiaoyang asked.
"Yes, the food source with a large quantity, small size, and stable source excludes the ones just now, and there are only fish when you think about it." Little Orion nodded.
"That's why male birds have to fly hundreds of kilometers to hunt for food, also because they have to chase migratory fish." Girls can see through at all.
"That's it." Little Orion laughed, "I've created an area here where a large number of fish gather, and I'm not afraid that it won't come." ”
"I have one last question." Shentu Miaoling's expression was a little strange, "Why didn't you make it clear to us from the beginning?" ”
"Come on, one of you knows the information of the colored bird, and the other will use the magic shield mechanism, if I don't leave myself some mystery, how can I show it off in front of you?"
