Chapter 134: Sightseeing
We're back to the perilla sparrow now.
Anyway, after the night fell......
Shiso also arranged for a few young sparrows to take turns on duty at night, and the rest perched on the branches of a dozen large trees nearby for the night.
Nothing was said all night.
The next day, everyone had a whole day of fun.
In the evening, the leader Zisu, who was not troublesome in the eyes of the birds, gathered the big guy and said that he would take everyone to the primeval forest thousands of miles away in the early morning of the next day, so that everyone could go to bed early.
After five or six days of hard flight, everyone finally found that in front of them was a primeval forest that stretched for hundreds of miles and was shrouded in clouds and mist at an altitude of two or three thousand meters.
In the forest, the branches and foliage of the trees almost completely obscured the sky, and the vines clinging to the large trees were thick, and some ferns were covered in damp and dark places.
Each of the trees struggled to grow in all directions, and its tall and dense branches and leaves were staggered left and right, greedily catching every bit of sunlight, so that although the sun was still high in the sky, the forest was as dark as evening under the shade of the leaves and branches.
Ancient trees, hung with dead vines, swayed in the dim light in the dim environment, like ghosts.
There are golden snub-nosed monkeys, split-fronted monkeys, mandrills, wild cats and raccoons on the trees, but poisonous insects and beasts such as poisonous scorpions, poisonous snakes, poisonous mosquitoes, marching ants, snow wolves, wild boars, snow leopards and tigers live on the ground.
The ground is fertile black soil, but unfortunately there is a lack of sunlight, otherwise the ground would be overgrown with all kinds of plants.
Outside the forest, there is an ethereal and unpredictable, turbulent and vast sea of clouds, while the mountains near and far are like isolated islands in the sea, with only verdant peaks faintly visible.
The sea of clouds is ever-changing, sometimes clustered like a mountain, sometimes flowing like a river, sometimes tiled like a flocculent, sometimes divided like a cave.
Thousands of peaks and mountains are endless, some strange peaks are high into the clouds, and some cliffs are steep and secluded.
Looking up, the clouds cover the heavenly pillars, the goshawk soars back under the sun and clouds, and there is peace and tranquility under the long sky.
Overlooking the Chihiro Valley, the fog locks the river stream, shrouded in gloomy thickets, and no one knows what surprising mysteries are hidden in this mysterious forest.
At about ten o'clock in the morning, with curiosity and excitement, Shisu led a large group of sparrows to this primeval forest.
What I saw in front of me made this group of sparrows who had never been here excited to chirp endlessly.
The sudden sound of sparrows wakes up a raccoon who was sleeping in a tree, and he angrily scolds, "Where did this stupid bird come from?" is so ignorant of the rules, stunned to mess up other people's good dreams. ”
"But the average bird likes to chirp in the middle of the day, and never cares about night owls like us who like to work overtime." An old wildcat chimed in.
At this time, a black-haired split-fronted monkey grabbed a branch from a big tree not far away, shook it and then swung over and said, "I'll blow them away for you." With that, he swung to the big tree where the sparrows were perched, and the sparrows flew away in fright.
Some sparrows flew to other trees, and some sparrows flew to the ground in search of food.
However, I didn't expect that the ground was full of traps.
Many grasses, thorns and small trees were covered with large and tough cobwebs, and if you were not careful, some sparrows fell into the cobwebs and could not move, and soon they were slowly eaten by the poisonous spider Black Widow, who was waiting for the big poisonous spider.
However, there are also lucky people who were rescued by their companions. One sparrow is responsible for pecking at the back of the black widow, a poisonous spider who is trying to inject a poison needle, to prevent her from approaching, and the other is responsible for jumping to the edge of the spider's web and using its beak and feet to help the sparrow that has fallen into the spider's web to get out of trouble.
In addition to poisonous spiders, poisonous snakes also attack sparrows that fall to the ground, and if you are not careful, they will be swallowed by poisonous snakes hiding in grass and tree holes.
In addition, from time to time there are poisonous scorpions on the ground, once they are stung by it, they will definitely die, and one or two sparrows are stung by poisonous scorpions and cry out.
The sparrow, stung to death by the poisonous scorpion, was soon gnawed by a large group of marching ants nearby, and only a pile of white bones remained.
Sometimes, the snow wolf will occasionally come to join in the fun, and rush up to bite it, although its success rate is not high, but it also scares the sparrows.
Of the thirty or forty sparrows that landed this time, as many as thirteen or fourteen died, this is really the Forest of Death, and as soon as it lands, its life is in danger.
After Zi Su found out, he hurriedly led everyone to leave here and flew to another higher cloud forest.
There are relatively few animals here, so it's also relatively safe.
However, there are some young snow leopards on the branches here, and they are indifferent to the arrival of this group of sparrows, which is just right for the appetite of the sparrows, and everyone is reassured.
A few sparrows, who were in charge of reconnaissance, crept down to see what danger there was, and found that there were very few poisonous spiders and poisonous scorpions.
So, the big guys flew down from the trees in a swarm to find insects to eat.
Soon, we found a lot of adults such as beetles, ladybugs, and larvae such as crickets, dragonflies, mosquitoes, butterflies, and earthworms.
Then, fly back into the tree and start chattering.
This morning, Shiso was chatting with the big guy in the tree with nothing to do.
Suddenly, a magpie flew over and said, "Hey! Good morning! Friends, you are new here! Welcome! This is a primeval forest, do you know where the most mysterious and fun is? ”
Shisu said, "We just came, so naturally we don't know." I hope you will give me more advice, brother! ”
Magpie Says:
"Eight hundred miles from here, in the southwest, there is a blue forest at an altitude of 2,500 meters.
There are hundreds of species of birds, and not only is the air exceptionally fresh, but the breath of the air will leave you feeling refreshed and energized.
And there are all kinds of insects, birds, and animals. Do you want to go? ”
