Chapter 497: The Chicken Thief's Bird
The humidity in the air is getting higher and higher.
Walking in this dark dense forest, the turtledove felt that the exposed skin became wet, looked down at the back of his hand, and the hair was even covered with crystal clear water droplets, and then sniffed hard, and the two lung lobes were instantly filled with cold and damp air.
The outside of the woods is dry and abnormal, but the inside of the woods is such a scene, turtledoves used to know that plants have a strong purification and moisturizing effect on the air, but they didn't know that they could still achieve such an effect, where is this a tree, it is clearly a high-power humidifier.
Also, why is this place so cold?
"Hiss ......"
Turtledove hugged two arms, he had a tattered single coat on his body, dirty and couldn't see the original color, not that turtledove was too lazy, not paying attention to personal hygiene or anything, you must know that he had just experienced a sandstorm, it was not easy to survive the sandstorm, and then encountered such a series of situations, how could he have time to deal with this kind of problem.
The insect was in slightly better condition than the turtledove, but it wasn't much better, but at least she had a smiling face that was cleanly washed, like a turtledove, and her face was covered with a layer of sand, dirt, and water, which was almost enough to withstand a shot.
No wonder when he first saw the turtle dove, the little worm thought of him as a wild man, in fact, even a wild man could not be sloppy like a turtle dove, the turtle dove was even more wild than a wild man.
"What about the people from Vulture Castle, didn't they chase them in?"
Looking back at the direction when he came, he didn't even see half a figure, and now the little worm's heart was a little drumming, and after staying in the depths of this dense forest for such a little time, the little worm felt uncomfortable anywhere, and there was a feeling of cool air coming out of the bones.
With a woman's unique intuition, the insect could sense that some danger was slowly approaching her and the turtledove.
"It's good that I didn't chase in," the turtledove was still as nervous as ever, and its reaction was a little slower than that of the small insects, "The air in this place is quite fresh, it's just these trees, the birds on the trees, it looks a little strange, it's a big deal, let's just not look at them." ”
At first, the turtledove thought that there were some demons and monsters in the woods, but he and the little insect stayed here for more than ten minutes, during which they also intermittently advanced deeper into the dense forest, and there was nothing terrifying coming out, except that the atmosphere was a little weird, it seemed that this forest was not as dangerous as he imagined.
However, the turtledove did not take this lightly, he still remembered how the big spiders outside had bitten all the people of the vulture castle to death, and the turtledove did not want to be like them, and he must have suffered greatly when he was dying.
"Come here, there's water over here!"
While the turtledove was thinking wildly, the little worm found something good,—— it was several bushes with broad broad leaves, the little worm did not know their names, but the open leaves of these shrubs were almost a handful of clear water.
Due to the high humidity and low temperature in this forest, the water vapor that is diffused in the air due to plant transpiration is not evaporated by sunlight, but re-condenses into water, which adheres to the leaves of nearby plants and accumulates more and more.
From a certain point of view, this is a kind of distilled water, which should be drinkable.
……
The water found by accident finally made the turtle dove regain some vitality, he was about to die of thirst, the two pots of water that came by the way before were not enough for him to drink, if it wasn't for the small insects to find out, it is estimated that the turtle dove would have to hold the bark next to it to gnaw.
"Quack!"
It was a sudden bird call, or the strange bird with red eyes before.
The turtledove wiped his mouth, he looked up at the strange bird standing on a nearby branch and looked down, and said to Xiao Chong, "Look at its eyes, it must be pink eye, right?" I remember coming across it when I first got into the woods, has it been following us all along? ”
"Indeed," the little worm had already noticed the strange bird, "did you know that there is a bird called the honey fish, which is very chicken-thief, and it is only slightly larger than a sparrow, but it is very fond of honey and beeswax, and the larvae of bees, and guess what it will do when it knows that it is not capable of destroying the hive and fending off the attack of the swarm?" ”
"How?"
The turtledove felt that if it was himself, since he couldn't get the bees, he wouldn't eat it, and replace it with other small insects to fill it, otherwise what else could he do, could it be that he would be stung to death by bees for some food? That's unwise.
"You might as well be a honey eagle," the insect stared at the strange bird on the branch without blinking, "the honey eagle does not act rashly when it spots the hive, it will look around for the honey badger that is foraging, then peck at the other's head, and lure the honey badger to the hive with its call. ”
Hearing this, the turtledove suddenly felt that maybe he was really not as good as a bird.
"That's right, after bringing the honey badger to its destination, the honey eagle will stand on a nearby branch and quietly wait for the honey badger with thick skin and strong claws to destroy the hive, so that the homeless bee colony will gradually disperse, and the honey eagle will come down to pick up some leftover 'feast' of the honey badger."
After listening to such a wonderful story, the turtledove realized that the honey eagle in the mouth of the insect is a very intelligent bird, but he has not yet grasped the real point of the insect's story.
"So, you mean...... Is this bird a honey duck? ”
Seeing the turtledove's retarded performance, the little worm hated to go up and kick him.
"Stupid!" The worm pointed to the bird on the branch and said to the turtle dove, "Look where it resembles the honey eagle I said, is this guy only a little bigger than a sparrow?" What I'm saying is that it's probably like a honey eagle, calling out to a nearby 'honey badger'! ”
Let the little worm say this, the turtledove only then understood what the little worm meant, and his face suddenly realized, and the turtledove also dragged out a long voice "oh".
"'Oh' you're big!" The little insect jumped up and slapped the turtledove on the back of the neck, "Why don't you hurry up and catch that strange bird for me, and wait for it to call a few times, who knows what it will attract to it!" ”
Slapped by the insect for no reason, the turtledove still felt a little aggrieved in his heart,—— it turned out that the insect was to let himself go up the tree to catch birds, since this is why not say it directly, I have to talk about what the honey duck does not sound the honey duck, what is wrong with the young people now, if you don't agree with it, you will popularize science.
