After a lot of hard work, the young birds came out of the shell, and the attack and defense of the nest were twists and turns.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The shipmon slowly waved its tentacles all over its body, its wriggling muscles constantly squirting water, roaming the endless sea. As an island, the length of 200 meters may be a small amount, but as a creature, the length of 200 meters is a bit shocking...... At least, that's true for the inhabitants on its back, who are on average a few tens of centimeters in length.

As the sun rises over the distant horizon, obscuring the glow of the thundering moon in the middle of the sky, a new day descends on the region...... Of course, don't expect to hear the rooster announcing the dawn on the Arashi.

The Shipmon, which had been swimming for a long time, gradually stopped swimming, and as the warm sunlight hit the ocean, the huge tentacles around it gradually relaxed and stopped moving. The jets left behind in the tail faded away, and the calm sea returned.

Of course, this can't be the death of the shipmon, it's nothing more than ...... I was a little tired, so I just fell asleep.

The giant creature is also sleeping, but this does not affect the lives of the islanders. When the dwelling ship beast is completely asleep, it can still stay on the surface of the sea and drift with the current, while activities such as biogas replenishment for the white puffin are more akin to a stress response, even in sleep.

Although the brain of the shipmon is not small, it is even quite large, and it has five brains that form a neural network throughout the body, but its body is so large that it is not smart in terms of the weight of the brain in the proportion of the weight of the body...... It should be said that he is just a fool who eats and sleeps and eats.

Of course, if there is a danger such as a storm or a rocking, the sensitive nerves on those tentacles will naturally wake up the behemoth and make it swim away from the danger, so there is no need to worry about this kind of problem. Thanks to the ship-animals, the island's inhabitants have also lived a smooth life, avoiding natural disasters or the danger of marine animals destroying their eggs, which is one of the main advantages of nesting here during the breeding season.

In the middle of a large crater made up of biological tissue, in the middle of the dwelling shipmon, there was a flat ground covered with a thin layer of yellow soil. Some of this land is made up of sand and dust blown by the sea wind, and the other part is detached from the back of the perched beast...... Dead skin debris.

Well, it may sound a bit disgusting, but in fact, this phenomenon is quite normal. These dead skin fragments are rich in minerals, which provide sufficient nutrients for the growth of some of the vegetation on the back of the shipper, which also forms part of the island's seabirds.

To get back to the point, in these thin yellow soils, there are many shallow pits dotted around the area, which are filled with white eggs and some lazy nesting young birds.

This is the nursery of the white puffin during the breeding season.

……

Thump...... Thump......

Xinglan was woken up by the constant loud sound ringing in her ears.

"Hmm, what's wrong?" Xinglan, who was still a little confused, opened her eyes, but only saw darkness.

Ah, by the way, yesterday was ......

Xinglan woke up instantly, and after choosing a bird's egg yesterday, and then simply transferred the main consciousness to the sub-signal that controlled the creatures, she fell asleep directly......

Well, sleep, this is a feeling that you can't enjoy in the signal sub form...... The last time I was forcibly knocked out by a wave of dark energy from a supernova explosion doesn't count. Well, that plopping sound should be the sound of a heartbeat, which sounds very clear inside the closed eggshell.

Xinglan does not plan to use the huge computing power possessed by the signal subnetwork for the time being, and of course, she does not plan to rely entirely on the thinking ability of the white puffin, although the white puffin is indeed a smart creature, but there is undoubtedly a big gap from the standard of intelligent creatures.

Well, at this level, only these biocontrol sub-signalns inside the nervous system are sufficient. Thinking like this, Xinglan simply let the other signalmen return to space orbit, well, these are enough.

Xinglan first cautiously scanned the body now in use with these creature-specific sub-signal codens, confirming that the young bird was fully developed and not congenitally disabled. Immediately after that, the next step is naturally ...... Break the shell!

……

"Hah...... Haha......" After a long time, Xinglan looked at the darkness in front of her, and smiled awkwardly in her heart, "Broken shell or something, shouldn't it......"

Judging from the general progress of the story, isn't it just a matter of tossing around twice and knocking the hard shell in front of you with your beak and claws? This desperate flutter for a long time and no reaction at all, what kind of trouble? Coach, this difficulty is not scientific!

Xinglan, who had worked hard for a long time but didn't see any results at all, was inexplicably resentful, but unfortunately, even if the resentment really exuded some black unknown aura that he liked to see, I am afraid that he would immediately drown in the darkness in front of him.

If she uses the scanning ability of signal protons, Xinglan can directly scan the data of the entire shell of the bird egg and analyze the weak points of the structural strength, but if she doesn't scan, she can only rely on brute force...... At the moment, this brute force is really a bit tragic.

Sinai! I don't believe it!

Xinglan adjusted her direction, fumbled inside the eggshell with the young bird's immature head, found a spot that seemed to be relatively weak, and began to hit it with her beak at a point. In the continuous click, she seemed to hear a mysterious voice from an unknown place: "You deal 1 damage to the eggshell. 】

You deal 1 damage to the eggshell. 】

You deal 1 damage to the eggshell. 】

……

Click!

Finally, the long-awaited voice sounded in Xinglan's ears, and she was excited to find a small light in the darkness.

"Hmph, this is the moment you have been waiting for!" Xinglan muttered triumphantly, not caring that she was actually making the standard white puffin chicks, bouncing excitedly inside the egg, "Your perfect defense system has been broken!" Let's just get caught...... Ahhh ”

A star's triumphant declaration was instantly interrupted by a whirling sense of weightlessness.

……

"Chirp ......"

"Chirp ......"

At this moment, the outside world is turning upside down.

Although the Shipmon provides a good mobile breeding site for the White Puffin, and the high crater prevents some animals in the ocean that can climb up to the ground from causing damage to the nest, the defense has limitations after all, and you can't expect the Shipmon to grow three-dimensional anti-aircraft weapons that can identify friend and foe, so some enemies are unavoidable...... The most typical is the blue-spotted spinosaurus.

Blue-spotted spinosaurs are known to be carnivores, so it's easy to imagine that it was not only interested in white puffins, but also in their eggs.

Although the white puffins can burst out with incredible speed, they are too far from the blue-spotted spiny dragon with a wingspan of five meters in size, so they can't use themselves as kinetic missiles to collide, right? In that case, you might as well offer to have some of the white puffins sacrifice themselves to feed the blue-spotted spiny dragon!

In the long path of co-evolution, the blue-spotted thorny dragon also learned to find the nesting ground of the white puffin on the perched shipmon, and the huge perched shipmon had no way to take these blue-spotted thorny dragons, so the problem had to be solved by the white puffin itself.

By the time the blue-spotted thorny dragon had only revealed a faint dot at the end of the sky, the white puffin, which was in charge of nest reconnaissance in the sky, had already sounded a sharp alarm. After hearing the alarm, the remaining adult white puffins quickly moved out to gather all the unhatched eggs and young birds in the nest and surrounded the core site.

Seeing so many adult white puffins resisting together, the blue-spotted thorny dragon was also a little jealous, and it hovered in the sky, keenly looking for any chance of attack...... Patience is in the nature of predators.

However, Xinglan, who was still in the egg at this time, had no idea about the life-and-death duel outside, she just stared frantically at the tiny hole that had finally appeared, pecking non-stop, trying to get herself out of this narrow eggshell that couldn't even turn over, and there was constant noise.

The cracking of the eggshell seemed inconspicuous to the chorus of countless adult white puffins, but little by little the cracking of the eggshell still attracted the attention of some of the more observant adult white puffins, who leaned slightly and looked at the cracking egg out of the corner of their eyes.

The change here did not escape the attention of the blue-spotted spiny dragon, which hovered high in the sky, and although it did not have the ability to fly as a jet like a white puffin, it could still swoop down at any time at a galloping speed.

At this moment, the egg, which had incidentally become the center of the incident, jumped twice under the curious onlookers of the young birds around it.

Rush!

While many white puffins were looking at the egg, the blue-spotted spiny dragon suddenly retracted its wings and swooped down on a lone young bird on the other side!

"Chirp!"

A large number of adult white puffins that had been prepared for a long time instantly turned on the jet propulsion and rushed forward, ready to force the blue-spotted thorny dragon to give up the action, but the cunning blue-spotted thorny dragon only tilted its wings slightly, and its target became the bird's egg...... No, that's what it was aiming for in the first place!

The adult white puffins who were caught off guard hurriedly tried to turn around, but how could the inertial speed that rushed out directly after turning on the jet propulsion be so easy to counteract? They staggered directly with the blue-spotted thorn dragon, and watched as the blue-spotted thorn dragon quickly grabbed the bird's egg that was rolling on the ground with its claws, and flew straight away!

The real is the virtual, and the virtual is the real.

……

"How...... What's wrong? Xinglan panicked and felt a continuous dizziness, and she hurriedly used all her strength to desperately peck at the crack of the eggshell......

Click......

With a series of breaking sounds, Xinglan suddenly stuck her head out of the eggshell, and she couldn't wait to look up......

Ah, the head of the blue-spotted thorny dragon, it looks so big eye to eye......

"It's ugly to look at it so closely, you scum!" Glancing at the bird's nest and the large flock of white puffins below, Xinglan instantly understood the situation, and she glared defiantly at the blue-spotted thorny dragon, who couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded, "Goodbye stupid dragon!" ”

The young bird quickly lowered its head and pecked at the last junction fiercely, and the eggshell of the egg suddenly made a crisp sound, and it split into countless pieces directly in the middle of the claws of the blue-spotted spiny dragon. Xinglan just rolled slightly, and her small body leaked directly through the claws of the giant thorny dragon......

"Wow, that's pretty exciting." Xinglan looked down at the white puffins rushing upwards, and then looked up at the blue-spotted thorny dragon that was chasing after him who was trying to turn around, listening to the whirring wind in her ears, and concluded very calmly, "I can already foresee how exciting life will be next......

The next moment, a terrible scream pierced the sky......

"Chirp......" ("Ahhh......h Come and save the birds! ”）

Countless adult white puffins rushed up, trying to slow down the falling of the young birds with their bodies, and Xinglan was whirled around in the dense flock of birds, so that when she fell to the ground, she was extremely glad that it was finally over......

"You won't suffer from dense phobia in the future, will you?" A young bird, which was tightly surrounded by its elders and almost suffocated, thought.

In the sky, the blue-spotted thorny dragon let out a clear long roar, and when he saw that he couldn't do anything, he finally turned around and left unwillingly. Having exhausted the calculations, it probably never imagined that the food it had tried to get by all means would end up with only a bunch of eggshells......

…… At least it's good for calcium, isn't it?
