Chapter 7 Interest

During the day, the fluorescence of the trees and flowers melted the ice cubes hanging outside the tent, and the outside world warmed up. Madara told me that she was going to take me to catch food. I agreed.

"When the loach snakes reach the spawning season, they go to the lower reaches of the rainforest, and the ponds formed in the concave area are also home to grass turtles and green tadpoles. Food is abundant there, and if you want to survive, you must master the laws of nature. Madara was talking to me, and we had two thick planks strapped to our feet to get into the swamp safely. The pond is in a swamp.

When we arrived at the pond, there were already many clever orcs and babies foraging for food in the pond.

The female loach snake excretes her eggs in the murky water, and the female orcs stand in the murky stream to collect the eggs and collect them in rattan containers. The newly grown jumping frog will swim in the water with a sticky tail. They can be easily caught by orcs.

The pond is shallow and the water is often cloudy. As a result, a lot of mud with aquatic plant seeds is deposited in the cracks on the dorsal carapace of the grass tortoiseshell, and it will not be long before a lush grassland grows on the tortoiseshell.

Adult turtles carry aquatic plants that exceed the height of adult orcs. When the roots of the grass penetrate the shell of the old turtle and dig into the soil, many small grass turtles emerge from the grass. Clever orcs often use their keen vision to observe the movement of grass. Judging by this, you can get delicious turtle meat.

Underwater animals also have their own survival instincts, with octopuses using their tentacles to pull through dense algae mosses in search of edible green tadpoles and snails. The shell of the snail can emit different colors of light depending on the water temperature and the water area. In most cases, this concealment avoids the threat of octopuses, but river crabs, which are extremely sensitive to light, can sense it. Fortunately, the snail is also very fast in the water. So eating rock shells has become a helpless choice for river crabs. This is extremely troublesome, and the river crab has to use a pair of iron tongs to knock and smash the ground for two nights before it can pry open the rock shell and eat the meat inside. It's also risky, as the clamshells are social shellfish, and when a clamshell is damaged, the closest companion will bravely open its shell to flank the enemy, even at the cost of dying. This practice of protecting one's own kind has flourished in nature, and rock shells have spread almost all over the ponds.

The beast child tried to swim across the pond and took the risk of picking up a rock shell, but it was quite dangerous, and when he jumped and fled, his feet were still caught by several rock shells, and the beast child's foot was injured, and it fell to the shore. A few of its companions helped it stone the dead rock shell, and the red blood seeped through the flesh of the shell.

"This group of kids, this is so risky!" I couldn't help but exclaim. Madara calmly told me, "It's just a thrill. ”

In nature, survival is under the coercion of many dangers. Relatively easy and safe prey, animal children prefer to wait for the rabbit, and when the female rabbit has cubs in the nursery bag, she will hide in the den, and the male rabbit will forage for food. There is a gelatinous plant flower called a cloud. When the timid marsupial rabbit touches the vine leaves of the clouds, the flowers change into strange shapes. Scare the rabbits. The timid rabbit remained alertly motionless, and as a result, the beast child easily caught the rabbit.

The hard-won hunt made the orcs have a tired excitement. On the way back, the harvest of prey added to the burden of walking through the mire, and in order to keep the mud flat, Madara and the others walked hand in hand in line. In the twilight sky, flocks of camel ducks quacked and flew by......

It's time for the edelweiss trees to bloom, and the dry season is approaching, when the reindeer that live here leave with their newborn children and embark on their migration journey. There are also flocks of fluttering butterflies, whose slender bodies cannot flap their huge snow-colored wings, and can only rely on the power of the night wind to float in this world. From one place to another.

Swaying in the wind, the butterfly will not break its wings, because the butterfly reproduces and lives in the wind, and the world is white at night and dusk.
