Chapter Seventy-Six: Sooner or Later, I Will Pay It Back......
Thunder and lightning mingle and heavy rain pours, and rock lizards bite and birds fall.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When the birds that were waiting for the food to be digested turned their eyes to the caves, Xinglan took the opportunity to close the distance further, in the hazy fog of the thunderstorm on the sea, both the sense of sight and smell would be greatly weakened, and the birds that had just successfully eliminated all the dragons present were also in a state of low vigilance.
The bird flew to the front of the cliff, its snake-like neck sticking its head all the way down to its body, and looked into the interior of a medium-sized cave, but it was only pitch black because of the light. Then, it hesitated and flew straight in.
Xinglan also quietly flew closer to the entrance of the cave, she couldn't see clearly in the dim light of the thunderstorm, so she didn't dare to fly into the cave rashly, but stopped at the rocks near the entrance of the cave, looked up at the dead corpses of the dragon, she suddenly laughed, and jumped up a few meters flexibly: "It seems, what interesting things have been found......
The dragons were completely dead, their bodies were injected with highly corrosive digestive juices by the birds, and the internal tissues were slowly dissolving into liquid, but on the surface of the corpses, there seemed to be something moving.
Tear and pull!
A huge bolt of lightning pierced the sky, and with that moment of pale light, Xinglan saw the restless little things clearly.
"It seems to be...... Something like a lizard? Xinglan tilted her head as the little creatures crawled around on the surface of the dragon's corpse, and playfully poked them with her wings, "These claws...... It's perfect for climbing on the cliffs, so let's call it a rock lizard...... Feed! ”
The seemingly cute little thing was extremely ferocious, and after being poked, it quickly jumped up, showed its sharp teeth, and bit the end of Xinglan's feather. Startled, Xinglan hurriedly flapped her wings and lifted into the air, relying on a quick flick to throw the rock lizard out......
Watching the rock lizard roll in the air, falling towards the sea that was roaring at the moment, and gradually disappearing into a small black dot, Xinglan breathed a sigh of relief and flew back to the corpse of the dragon. However, this time she didn't dare to provoke these vicious little guys casually.
"It's horrible, such a vicious little fellow." Xing Lan watched these little lizards that were only about two centimeters long stretch out their strange long tongues, lightly touch the surface of the dragon's corpse, and then quickly tore the skin on the surface with their sharp teeth, and began to gnaw on the flesh and blood that had not yet been dissolved into liquid, and couldn't help but feel a little chill in the pouring rain, "This carnivorous lizard shouldn't be poisonous, right?" ”
However, it was only the end of the feather that was bitten just now, and even if it was poisonous, it should be fine. Xinglan looked at the feathers that had appeared in the gap with some distress, and there seemed to be some slimy saliva sticking to them...... Disgusting to death!
Silently looking up at the gloomy sky, the huge rainstorm seemed to show no signs of subsiding for a short time, and Xinglan could hear the constant cries coming from the medium-sized cave below, and it sounded like the birds were hissing and turning the fruits. However, carnivorous birds should not be interested in vegetarian food, and their beaks are not shaped to eat fruits.
After a while, the long neck of the bird came out of the mouth of the cave again, and as Xinglan expected, it didn't care about the tossed fruits, but it didn't stop there, and spread its huge wings and flew towards another medium-sized cave, and then burrowed into the dark depths again.
"Strange...... And interesting. Xinglan impatiently shook off a few rock lizards that tried to climb onto her lap and flew into the torrential rain again, "There is no need for fruit at all, so what exactly are the birds looking for?" ”
In the distant sky, there were several chirps peculiar to the dragon. Xinglan followed the prestige and saw several dragons that seemed to be hurrying home were struggling to fly through the storm, and it took a lot of physical strength to keep the flight steady in this climate.
"The show seems to be about to start again." The white shadow of the white puffin floated like a ghost between the dark and chaotic heavens and the earth, without attracting the slightest attention from the birds and dragons.
As the distance grew, the dragons apparently realized that something was wrong, and they made a call that did not receive a response from the patrol, on the contrary, as the cries spread through the air, a huge figure in the dark cave that was churning the pile of fruit turned sharply.
……
There was no response, something was wrong.
One of the dragons barked at its companion with some trepidation, telling them to stay where they were, while it sped up its flight further and flew towards the cave in the cliff.
The dragon flew slowly through the air outside the small cave, its side eyes confirming the inside of the cave.
No problem.
The dragon's body relaxed slightly, but it didn't let its guard down and began to cautiously approach the larger caves.
Near the entrance of the medium-sized cave, the dragon stopped flying, using its sharp hook to secure itself to the rock, and slowly crawled towards the entrance of the cave. It poked its head out of the hole, but didn't seem to find anything, just as it was about to go deeper......
Surprise!
In an instant, a pair of huge eyes appeared in the darkness, and before the dragon could react, the attack was already coming. It only felt a slight numbness on the surface of its body, as if it had been pricked by something tiny, and then it completely lost consciousness.
A few dragons not far away saw that their companions suddenly twitched all over their bodies, and the claws that were holding the rocks suddenly lost their strength, and their whole bodies fell downward, and then at the same time, a huge claw stretched out from the cave and grabbed its body violently.
Bird Hunting!
Obviously, this thing is as well-known as the blue-spotted thorny dragon among the white puffins, and several of them instantly recognized their opponents and turned around and fled without hesitation!
The bird flew out of the mouth of the medium-sized cave, rested the body in its talons on a protruding rock, and then spread its wide wings in pursuit. It was fast, and although its feathers were a little damp in the heavy rain, it was still able to catch up with the dragon quickly. The downpour seriously affected the accuracy of the Poison Needle's shot, but it didn't stop the bird from relying on its size to tear the dragon to shreds with its claws.
Despite this, a few of the dragons escaped the pursuit and fled into the rainstorm in all directions. The bird returned to the cliff and did not re-enter the medium-sized cavern, but threw the newly acquired corpses on the cliffs, infusing them with digestive juices, while sweeping away the annoying rock lizards from the old ones, which were almost digested and ready to eat.
……
Laugh at......
The bird pulled its tubular beak out of the carcass, ignoring the sticky liquid that was still dripping, and casually kicked the carcass, which had eaten only an empty shell, into the sea below, including the lizards that were still lying on it.
The bird took a look at the cave he had entered before, and re-selected a medium-sized cave that he had not entered to burrow, and soon, the sound of rummaging things came from inside.
"That's weird, what the hell is it doing?" Xinglan was even more curious, it was obviously not interested in berries, but it was persistently rummaging through the berry pile, what was it looking for?
It's unclear what it is, but it doesn't seem to have been very lucky, and when it has gone through all the medium-sized burrows and eaten all the corpses, it still hasn't found what it's looking for. Eventually, the bird turned its attention to the most likely place: the large cave.
Unlike the other caves, the entrance to this large cavern is a passage that seems to lead all the way to the rocky interior of the cliff, so deep that even the rays of lightning cannot reach such depths.
The cave is large, at least accessible to birds. After the massive creature entered, Xinglan also quietly followed it into the large cavern.
"Oops, I can't see clearly." Xinglan was a little unwilling, but in the end, she used the signal to strengthen her eyes, "The night vision ability of the white puffin is not very good......
After a few curves, they came to the end of the cavern's interior. It's a huge space with a huge amount of berries piled up, and the sheer amount of them is staggering.
The bird's eyes did not stop at these mountains of berries, and it flailed its huge wings and violently overturned a large pile of berries. Countless purple fruits poured down like a landslide and smashed to the ground.
With a few distinct sounds, the bird suddenly came to its senses, and it knew that it had found what it wanted.
The dragon cubs of this large group.
Xinglan stayed at the top of the cave, watching the huge bird predator beneath it, overturning one berry after another, while the dragon cubs who didn't seem to be able to fly were scattered and fled, desperately trying to hide behind the berry mountain, but with the huge movement of the birds, many dragon cubs were seriously injured or even died directly by a large number of berries falling from the sky.
If the bird hunting continues to be destroyed like this, the future of this dragon-filled group will fall into despair.
At this moment, there were countless flying sounds from the entrance of the cave, and the huge bird bird looked back, only to see a large number of dragons flying in from the mouth of the cave, and frantically began to pounce on the back of the bird and bite it. The bird shook its body angrily and smashed the dragon into pulp on the rock, but there were too many dragons, and the huge body of the bird was inconvenient to move inside the cave, and it was soon bitten into a blur of flesh and blood.
The bird retreated, and it forced its way out of the cave and back into the stormy ocean.
Suddenly, all the dragons on the bird bird flew apart, and a dragon rushed to the bird with a long sharp object in its mouth, and stabbed it into the bird's body fiercely. The bird screamed, and its sharp claws directly tore the dragon apart, and then quickly flew into the distance......
The dragons did not pursue, and in the open field, the only result of doing so was to increase the casualties, and their speed could not keep up with the birds. They just flew around the remains of the dead dragon's corpse, wailing as if they were singing an elegy.
In the pouring rain, a white puffin stood silently on the top of the vertical cliff, staring at the predatory birds that were moving away, as if thinking about something......
Thundered...... Thundered......
The dull thunder sounded in the sky again, and lightning surged through the clouds, and suddenly, a huge white beam of light cut through the barrier between heaven and earth, and cleaved through the endless dark clouds, right in the middle of the small black dot that had disappeared in the torrential rain......
There was no scream, and the lightning of tens of thousands of degrees of heat instantly destroyed the birds. This seemingly incomparably powerful predator became a charred black carbide and plunged into the endless sea, only to bring a small splash with it, and then disappeared completely.
The rain is still falling, the sea is still surging, and this is nothing more than an insignificant ...... of nature A small vignette.
……
"Lightning on a thunderstorm......"
Looking back at the wailing dragon, Xinglan remembered the long, sharp object that the dragon would rather sacrifice his life than forcibly insert into the back of the bird, and seemed to be vaguely visible at that time......
A bright metallic reflection.
