Nightmare Maker - Sleeping Bird:

Primarily found in the sea of trees, the Sleeping Bird is adept at darling down in the air and attacking with its feet, its sharp beak and iron feet with steel claws can deal a fatal blow to its prey, and it can also spit out terrifying sleep gases that will instantly put opponents to sleep.

Although some people call it a "lurking insidious killer", the sleeping bird is actually a very docile, even timid, animal. It has the most bird-like beak of the ornithosaur species, a slender beak that cannot chew or burrow, and must swallow stones to digest food. Judging from the dissected samples, the internal organs were mostly plant seeds and fruits, and only occasionally one or two small fish could be seen. As for the clawed feet, they were not intended to be used for attack, but to facilitate escape.

Sleeping birds usually live alone, like quiet, afraid of shock, all kinds of noise and other animals, even the interference of the athlon will affect the growth and development of the sleeping bird, reduce its egg production and fertilization rate. Although it is very large, it weighs much less than the average large ornithistosaurus, so it has a strong ability to fly. Sleeping birds do not hibernate and prefer to chase warm climates. When the cold season arrives, they migrate to the edge of the desert closer to the sea of trees.

When it comes to sleeping birds, it is natural to think of its housekeeping skills, hypnotic gas. This is a highly concentrated anesthetic that is normally stored in a sleeping bag that is converted from a part of the stomach. When encountering a predator, the valves on the walls of the organs automatically close, and then the hypnotic gas mass coughs up down the esophagus. When the enemy beckons to sleep, the sleeping bird will flee. According to laboratory analysis, the components of hypnotic gas are mainly mandalin and hypnotin, and its pharmacological effect can relax muscles and inhibit the secretion of sweat glands, which is generally used to make tranquilizers. According to eyewitness reports from hunters, the habitats of sleeping birds often find leftover sleep grass and mandala flowers, both of which contain high amounts of mandalin and hypnotin, so the source of hypnotic gas can be determined.

During the breeding season, it is common to see the seven-colored sleeping birds that open the screen. These dormant birds are all males, and they erect beautiful feathers, which may be a gesture of affection to the female, a demonstration to the same sex, or a warning to the enemy. Colorful feathers are a weapon for male sleeping birds to show themselves and scare their enemies. But that unusually beautiful appearance was so popular with the noble ladies that it brought them destruction.

In recent years, the Zamir Territory has issued regulations restricting hunting during the breeding season, and some ranches have begun to experiment with the domestication of this iodine-rich ornithischian dragon, and the population of wild dormant birds has gradually returned to normal levels.

"Alright, Josh, you can open your eyes, you've made it!" Michael praised.

"Daddy! I'm so desperate to catch something! Joshua got up from the ground and cried out excitedly.

"Yes, Josh. You've been able to feel the mana and control it intuitively. ”

"What is my talent! Dad, I feel like it's the power of the wind, but mana doesn't have the concept of wind, does it? Joshua was a little confused, which was contrary to what his father had told him and his common sense.

"Yes, there's no mana that can directly carry the power of the wind, but that doesn't mean we can't unleash the power of the wind." Michael paused, then continued, "You know, Josh, mana is actually the origin power of the Aisha world, and they are mutually opposed, mutually influential, and interdependent. When we unleash multiple colors of mana at the same time. In fact, we can combine different things. That's what I'm saying that everyone has a different perception of mana. Because the forces of the world are ever-changing, we can use a theory or cognition to trigger a phenomenon of how much mana is generated, which is what we call cognition. ”

"For the spellcaster, the more phenomena and carrying capacity they have, the more they can find the ability to unify and root their roots, the closer they will be to the origin of the Aisha world, and the stronger their mana will be."

"Is my mana strong or not?" Joshua asked.

Michael laughed and said, "Josh, Josh, Josh." Your mana is not very strong, but you are indeed talented. ”

"So what is my talent? What color of mana is it, huh... Affinity? Joshua was desperate for answers and praise from his father. However, the cover-up was very clumsy, and Michael saw through his son's careful thinking at once.

However, Michael didn't shy away from his praise for the children, first complimenting his son and then saying, "Josh, your talents are essentially blue mana affinity and red mana affinity, and I think you've inherited some of my mom's talents." As I said earlier, I'm good at white mana and blue mana, and your mom is good at red mana and black mana. Although your power is in the form of wind, among the casters we do not call this power wind, we call it 'fire and water'. ”

"What does the power of the wind have to do with blue mana and red mana? Why is it called 'fire and water'? Joshua apparently didn't understand the reasoning.

Michael motioned to Joshua not to be in a hurry, he took out the bento made by his wife, and said to his son, "Josh, go and call Lena to eat first, and we'll talk while we eat." ”

The three of them worked on a flat stone, and Michael took out a sandwich, bread, and jam and handed it to the children, then took out a water bag and added a piece of squeaky grass to it. The creaking grass gently floats into the water bag, swirling in the water bag and slowly melting, making a 'squeak' sound.

"Josh, 'Fire and water' is a talent that induces a harmonious relationship between blue and red mana, two mostly opposing mana. How do you think the wind is generated? Michael didn't fully explain, but asked his son.

"Wind, well... Wind is a natural occurrence. Joshua said uncertainly.

"Of course ... That's wrong! Stupid son! The essence of wind is the movement of air. When water heats up, it turns into water vapor, which means that the energy generated by red mana causes the blue mana to change its form, so it creates a flow of air, which becomes wind. Of course, the gift of 'fire and water' is not limited to this, wind is only its simplest application, and on top of that, we also have ... ”

"God, Lena, Daddy is talking at length again, don't you say?" Joshua complained to his sister. However, Lena has now decided to use her stomach to understand the world, so she just nodded and dealt with her brother hastily.
