The young birds are flying and insects are flying around, and the days are unfavorable when it is difficult to climb.

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

Even a few days later, recalling the thrilling encounter that day, Xinglan still felt like she couldn't hold back her tears......

Although we did pray for some interesting experience, but should we even make a broken shell so thrilling! What a terrible start!

Dissatisfied, squeezing the young bird next to him, asking it not to always lean towards this side, Xing Lan looked up at the white clouds floating in the blue sky with a hint of melancholy: "Really, why didn't you think that the young birds would have to stay in the nest for so long?" ”

Lazily spreading her little wings that had not yet grown full feathers, Xinglan lay directly on the shallow layer of soil, well, the land here is soft to the touch, as long as you don't mind the dust, it is much more suitable than plastic pavement or something.

"Chirp ......"

"Chirp ......"

In the nest next door, a few young birds were bouncing around, and these over-energetic little ones felt very incomprehensible to Xinglan, who always liked to laze on his stomach...... Hmph, people also have a good exercise of pterygoid muscles!

"Chirp ......"

The noisy noise of a group of little ones soon disturbed Xinglan's interest in napping on her stomach, and she stood up a little embarrassed like a pom-pom, shaking off some of the dust from her feathers, ready to teach the unbehaving bear children a lesson...... Hmm, bird kids?

However, as soon as he saw Xinglan standing up, a cold light appeared in his eyes, and those young birds immediately jumped back with a "chirp", it seems that this is not the first time that they have suffered a loss. Although the physical strength is about the same, after all, the wisdom and strategy of the two sides are not at the same level......

Yes, you heard it right, it's called ...... Martial?

"Hmph, it seems that the accident with the blue-spotted thorn dragon still established a little majesty." Xinglan folded her wings and jumped forward a few steps, looking at a group of young birds cowering at a safe distance in front of her, and for some reason suddenly felt a little like laughing.

"Yo, there is still a little guy who comes to the far door?" At a glance, Xinglan found that there were a few little ones with different looks mixed in the white puffin young bird group, she knew this kind of bird that was a little bigger than the white puffin, they lived in the gentle slope area in the front part of the perched ship beast, although they were much larger than the white puffin, they were very timid and shy by nature. Because of the gray feathers around the eyes of these slender birds, Xinglan called them gray-eyed cranes.

Of course, although the distance between the nests of the two families is not large, it is still a bit far away for the young birds that can only jump or roll, so there are not many young birds who are willing to run so far to visit the door...... Of course, there are exceptions to this.

Because the whole ring of mountains is concave, and the white puffin chicks are in the central flat area, the grey-eyed cranes like to build their nests on gentle slopes, so if there is a clumsy and unlucky grey-eyed crane chicks that falls...... Ah, yes, it rolls all the way down the slope to the chicks of the white puffin......

So...... Xing Lan silently glanced at the gray-eyed crane chicks who were covered in dust and seemed to be still spinning in circles, and decisively concluded: "These are definitely the kind of fools who roll down the crater all the way, yes." ”

Xinglan staggered forward a few steps, ignoring the white puffin chicks that were retreating one after another, and hugged the little gray-eyed cranes who had not yet understood the situation with her wings as if comfortingly, regardless of whether the other party understood: "Ah, it's okay, wait here obediently for the parents to come and take it back." ”

Don't think that you can use a bird's body to communicate in bird language! The animals are whispering to each other in their own languages, and everything is just fantasy...... No, fairy tales!

"It's very cute~" Xinglan watched a little gray-eyed crane stay there, happily rubbing the young bird that was half a body taller than her, "Let's play together~"

The little grey-eyed crane looked at the strange white puffin in bewilderment, and was completely involuntarily squeezed towards the other noisy young birds......

The other little white puffins finally confirmed that Xinglan was not aggressive at this time, and cautiously stepped into the cordon...... What kind of scene is this scene where I'm a villain? Xinglan felt a trace of distress inexplicably, she waved her wings, and looked at the way a flock of young birds hit me and I hit you, looking at the sky speechlessly...... So naïve.

"Chirp ......"

A few small black dots swirled in the sky, occasionally speeding low over the crater, the adult seabirds responsible for keeping watch at the nests, taking turns waiting in the nests, and the outers brought back a share of the food for the young.

Food......

Speaking of this, Xinglan couldn't help but look back at the depths of the nest, where there were still some reserve grains that the adult birds brought back yesterday. Of course, in order to prevent greedy young birds from stealing food, the flock even set up a special adult bird guard. Are you so talking? Young birds are also disciplined...... Probably? Xinglan thought a little unconfidently.

Thankfully, seabirds don't have to eat the disgusting food of bugs, and most of the adult white puffins bring back fragments of small fish and balloon jellyfish. Those colorful, soft jellyfish fragments don't know what strange it feels to eat...... Xinglan thought she was eating jelly, although she didn't know what it was like to eat the so-called jelly, but it should be about the same, right?

Ah, yes, and those funny little fish. The most brought back in this sea is a small silver fish with strong vitality that is still alive even on the back of the ship-inhabiting beast, and the taste is also crispy. As if with a hint of strange malice, Xinglan named it the baitfish...... I feel like this is a good bait if you want to fish!

……

Seeing that the young birds were still playing tirelessly, Xinglan, who was a little tired of it, simply started a walk away from the nest alone...... Or is it a workout?

"From the young bird's point of view, the circular mountain range on the back of this perched ship beast is quite large......" Xinglan looked up at the tall mountain wall, it was almost impossible for a non-flighted creature to cross the steep barrier, "and the environment is not bad, well, the goal of today's conquest is decided...... Ahh What the hell? ”

Xinglan, who was so sick that she was rushed into her mouth by an unknown species because of her habit of opening her mouth and screaming, turned a little blue, and she looked down at a strange insect that was spit out on the ground......

"Nasty vampires! It's these things again! Xinglan impatiently stomped on a certain unlucky bug with her little feet, this flying insect named Curved Tube Worm is very common on the back of the Shippering Beast, it is almost like a mosquito...... No, far more annoying than mosquitoes!

This little flying insect can fly fast by vibrating two pairs of transparent wings, and its strange mouthparts resemble a tiny miniature horn, similar to those intricate curved pipes, causing the air to flow through the thin twisted pipes as it flies through the air, emitting ...... Quite a terrible noise!

Xinglan strongly suspected that they had evolved this strange mouthpiece entirely for courtship, right? They don't really know any creature that likes this terrible sound. In addition, this curvature has an even more nasty trait, yes, it sucks blood like a mosquito! And I especially like to bully young birds that are not thickly feathered!

"It's really quite a nasty bug...... Xing Lan looked at the dense flying little bugs in front of her resentfully, and quickly jumped over this troublesome area, while thinking in a broken thought, "If it weren't for the fact that the Ship-Habitat Beast is asleep again, how dare you guys come out and hang out so arrogantly......"

The Shipbeast habitually makes a loud call by shaking the entire crater, although it will not cause a landslide or anything, but the lethality of this sound wave is also extremely huge, especially against the internal organs of the animal. Creatures such as the white puffin and the grey-eyed crane have long evolved a well-developed protection mechanism against sound waves in their internal organs, but a creature like a small tube worm is obviously not so luxurious, but it can't do without it. They can only fly as high as they can when loud noises are coming, avoiding the biggest sound waves, though...... Xinglan recalls the last time she heard the whistle-like sound of the Ship-Habitat Beast, the dead insects falling from the sky were truly spectacular! Of course, Xinglan wouldn't be as curious as other young birds to eat those insect carcasses......

"Hmph, if the ship-dwelling beast suddenly wakes up and roars now, see if you bed bugs will die?" Irritably, flapping her wings against the curved tube worms that landed on her body, Xinglan finally broke through the slope where the insect swarm was most densely populated and climbed further upwards.

"Ahead is the nest group of gray-eyed cranes......" Xinglan looked at the nest group on the gentle slope in front of her from a distance.

Unlike white puffins, grey-eyed cranes do not dig a hole as a nest like white puffins, and the sea is not far from the land, so they will bring back something that seems to be a tree branch and build a nest at a certain slope. At the same time, their nests are also the terminus of the area at the bottom of the crater...... Beyond that was the almost vertical mountain wall, Xinglan knew that flightless young birds would definitely not be able to cross it, and likewise, dangerous sea creatures from the outside world would not be able to break in.

"Then, this time, let's go straight to the Grey-eyed Crane Nest!" Xinglan clenched her claws in high spirits to show her determination, as long as they did not encounter dangerous flying predators like the blue-spotted spiny dragon, the young birds could be said to have nothing to fear in the interior of the crater...... The bites of the Curved Tube Worm are just a small fight, and they are not life-threatening.

Climb the mountain and climb the mountain......

"Hey, hey, hey......" Xinglan tried to use her claws to dig a place to step on in the soft soil, flapping her wings that weren't fully feathered in an attempt to add a little buoyancy to herself. If you are lazy now, you will not be able to fly in the end, and you will not be able to fly!

The slope here is not large, only about forty-five degrees, so Xinglan can still insist on climbing up with her beak and claws, but her idea of climbing all the way to the Grey-eyed Crane's nest today seems doomed to be unrealizable, because ......

"Huh...... Huh? A drop of water suddenly dripped on her head, Xinglan looked up at the sky in a daze, and the boundless black clouds had almost covered the sky, "It's actually raining at this time?" ”

Do you want to keep climbing? Apparently this is no longer possible, so now the only question is: how to get back?

The first way is to just close your eyes and roll back in a rounded ball, and the second way is to jump back slowly down the hill, this huge difference in shame may seem like nothing to hesitate about, but ......

It is obviously impossible to return to those special nests with rain-sheltered structures before it rains, and once it rains, the thin loess here will turn into mud, and finally eighty percent will slip and roll all the way back, and the mud will be covered with feathers all over the body and even paste into the eyes. Although there was indeed a small pond on the back of the ship-perching beast for bathing, Xinglan had always strongly suspected that it was some organ of the ship-perching beast, and it was snot or something......

So, Xinglan, who had been hovering between convenience and shame for a long time, made a decisive decision, turned around, used the white puffin's ability to control feathers to make the feathers of her whole body close to her body, tucked her wings at her sides, pointed in the direction, and took a deep breath......

Closing her eyes, Xinglan slowly took two steps forward, and then ......

I jump!
