Chapter 144: Falling Objects from the Outside
The eagle was even larger than the one they had brought them, and it looked like it had been a long journey, so tired that it didn't move, but gasped for breath after it had fallen on the ice.
Originally, it just glanced around casually, but it didn't expect to find Shao Xuan, and then stared at Shao Xuan like a rare thing.
Shao Xuan was still holding a piece of ice in his hand, and he couldn't bite it anymore when he was stared at by a giant eagle.
What exactly does that eagle mean?
Shao Xuan didn't feel malice in those eagle eyes, he just wondered about the eagle's reaction.
After staring for a while, the eagle looked away, looked at the icicle next to Shao Xuan, and then looked at Shao Xuan.
Is that what it means?
Shao Xuan took out his tooth knife and pried a piece from the icicle. When he turned his head, he saw the eagle staring at the tooth knife in his hand.
After thinking about it, Shao Xuan stuck the tooth knife on the ice on the side, didn't take the knife, and raised the ice cube in his hand towards it.
Shao Xuan was about to throw the ice cube on the ground, but he didn't think about it, the eagle opened its mouth directly, and seeing that Shao Xuan didn't move, it raised its curved beak again, as if urging Shao Xuan.
Shao Xuan moved over step by step, without a knife, and the eagle did not show any malice, but in the face of such a giant beast, he must be cautious.
After approaching, Shao Xuan quickly threw the ice cube in his hand into the eagle's beak, and quickly retreated.
The eagle didn't bite, the ice cube was thrown in and swallowed directly, and then it continued to open its mouth towards Shao Xuan.
Shao Xuan pried the ice cube from the icicle again, took it and threw it into the eagle's beak, and went back and forth more than ten times before the eagle flapped its wings and got up from the ground.
When it flapped its big wings and got up, Shao Xuan felt the ice debris and cold mist rushing to his face, and raised his hand to block it.
The eagle in front of them was compared to the big eagle that brought them over. It doesn't seem to be a stranger to people, and the reason why it was rare when he saw Shao Xuan was that Shao Xuan felt that he probably just didn't expect to see people in such a place.
Could it be that they also live in the mountains and forests around the hunting grounds?
Suddenly, Shao Xuan's gaze froze. I couldn't help but take two steps forward and stare closely at the eagle's talons. On it, there's a very fuzzy pattern.
Although he couldn't see it clearly, Shao Xuan could be sure that it was not a painting of the Yanjiao tribe.
In connection with the behavior of this eagle just now, it does not look like an eagle that has never been in contact with humans, and there are too many human things in its eyes, just like chirping. It seems that he often comes into contact with humans, so he has a different feeling from the giant eagle in the mountains.
With heavy steps, the eagle walked up to a tall icicle and pecked at the ice.
Shao Xuan followed, got closer, and took a closer look at the pattern on the eagle's claws.
Because the outer layer of the eagle's talon has begun to fall off, there are defects in the pattern. The missing part, Shao Xuan can only speculate.
Think of patterns that might have been left by people from other tribes. Shao Xuan was excited.
He had been in this world for so long, and he had never seen anyone outside the tribe.
Shao Xuan drew on the ground with a tooth knife. The eagle next to him had almost eaten, and it was much better than the state of not being able to stand up just now.
It lowered its head and watched Shao Xuan draw with a tooth knife on the ground, and at first it was very quiet to watch, watching. Shao Xuan drew a stroke, and it screamed, and then scratched the painting on the ground with the claws that had cracked.
"Wrong, I'll try again......"
I didn't make a few strokes, and another paw came.
"Wrong again? ”
A painting. grabbed a scratch, and when the surrounding ice surface had been scratched, the eagle finally couldn't stand it anymore, screamed at Shao Xuan, and then twitched its neck.
"Hey, what are you going to do, wait!"
As soon as he saw such a situation, Shao Xuan hurriedly took a few steps back.
Wow -
A puddle of vomit smashed in front of Shao Xuan, but fortunately Shao Xuan dodged quickly, otherwise he would probably be poured head-on.
The vomit also contained a portion of flesh from an unknown animal.
Shao Xuan: "......"
Just as he was thinking about whether to hide away, Shao Xuan's eyes were suddenly attracted by a stone in the pool of vomit.
It was an obviously polished stone, only the size of Shao Xuan's palm.
Ignoring the disgusting vomit, Shao Xuan quickly walked over and took out the stone that had been polished and flattened.
After picking it up, Shao Xuan wiped the giant eagle's feathers, and then took it aside for a closer look.
On the black flat stone, a pattern is drawn with white paint, which should be the same as the one on the giant eagle's feet.
The pattern looks like an abstract cloud rolling up. The material used in the painting is very peculiar, it was swallowed by the eagle, and the pattern on the stone was not blurred at all, and the stone was undamaged.
Although he didn't know why this eagle swallowed this stone in its stomach and spontaneously spontaneously, Shao Xuan was more concerned about where this pattern and this stone came from?
The eagle in front of him, looking at this stone, was very gentle.
It's a pity that this eagle can't speak, and Shao Xuan doesn't understand eagle language, so he can only guess the general meaning from some body movements. However, it spit out the stone, obviously seeing Shao Xuan draw that pattern wrong again and again, it couldn't help but show Shao Xuan the correct pattern.
The stone is very good, at least of the best quality.
The fine stones, special pigments, and the ones painted on them are generally very important patterns that the painter considers, such as tribal totems. From this painting, Shao Xuan can feel the admiration that the painter carries when painting.
I don't know if this eagle lives in a human tribe like Chirp, but because they can't be imprinted, they leave a pattern on their feet.
Shao Xuan had never seen this pattern on the stone wall of the cave near the foot of the mountain, but the animal skin scrolls left by the ancestors might be able to find relevant information.
When I go back, I'll draw it for Wu to see.
Thinking about it, Shao Xuan handed the stone back to the eagle, but the eagle just lowered its head, pressed its curved beak against the stone, and pushed it towards Shao Xuan.
"Give it to me?" Shao Xuan asked in a low voice. There were other giant eagles coming and going, and Shao Xuan didn't want to alarm them.
The eagle screamed, then turned back and walked over to the icicle it had gnawed on, and fell next to it. However, the eyes look very clear. The breathing was also strong, there was no Yan zhòng injury, no fractures, it was just too tired and a little unsteady on its feet.
Poured next to the icicle, it opened its mouth. You can bite into an icicle.
Shao Xuan smiled and shook his head, how far has it flown and how many fights it has gone through to become like this?
Looking at the stone in his hand, Shao Xuan carefully put it in the animal skin bag, and when he returned, he would show it to Wu, and it was best to find some relevant information from the ancient scroll.
Originally, I wanted to find a stone with a good material and carve a tribal totem in exchange. After thinking about it, Shao Xuan gave up, even if he knew that other tribes existed, but he didn't know if the tribe had enemies with other tribes, Shao Xuan didn't dare to act at will.
Every day, giant eagles of all sizes arrive, some flying alone, some in groups or in groups.
But. With that eagle by its side, other eagles won't come and grab territory. I won't notice Shao Xuan.
The eagles around him became more and more silent, and even the eagle standing next to Shao Xuan looked like he didn't want to care about the outside world, except for eating, he stood quietly next to the icicle, and sometimes Shao Xuan talked to it. It only responded slightly.
When the fog thinned, Shao Xuan knew that the time had come.
The sun shone on the ice sheet, the fog completely dissipated, and the familiar chirping of eagles rang out again.
Whoosh whoosh -
A huge and vigorous figure. appears in the sky above. They chirp loudly, venting their excitement, as if celebrating a new life.
Wow――
The eagle beside him shouted at Shao Xuan, it was leaving.
"Good luck!" Shao Xuan waved at it.
Wow――
Another eagle chirped, but this time it wasn't the eagle next to it, it came from the air.
Shao Xuan curled his finger and put it in his mouth and blew a whistle.
A figure broke away from the flock of eagles flying above and flew to the place where Shao Xuan was.
After not seeing him for so long, Shao Xuan couldn't recognize it.
The last time I saw him, he was not as tall as Shao Xuangao, but now he has nearly doubled his swelling, and he is more than three meters on the ground.
The eagle on the ice field has begun to fly down towards the abyss, and Shao Xuan and Chirp are also going back to the tribe.
There was another eagle cry in the sky not far away, it was the big eagle that had brought them before, it was also nearly twice in size, its sharp beak, sharp claws, powerful wings, the old state had completely disappeared, and in its place, it was a body full of strength like a young man.
After the eagle chirped at Shao Xuan and Chiao, it flew away, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"It's time for us to go back. Shao Xuan patted the chirp next to him who was flapping his wings as if he was flapping his wings, and walked towards the steep slope.
This time, Shao Xuan didn't need to grasp the chirping claws, and could jump directly onto the back of the eagle. However, before that, Shao Xuan still has something to take.
"I'll bring something later. ”
Shao Xuan went down the steep slope, came to a place, and began to dig with a tooth knife. Seeing this, Chirp also helped with his paws.
In the past, when I was scratching rocks, I could only leave shallow traces on the rocks, but now I can claw a large piece of rock with one claw, and it is easier to claw ice cubes, like grabbing tofu.
Soon, the skin shed by the white worm buried in it and the silk collected by Shao Xuan were dug out by Shao Xuan.
The skin and silk are intact.
"This one is very heavy, can you do it?" Shao Xuan raised the three rolls of white worm skins in his hand and said.
"Whew-"
"Okay, try it first. ”
Shao Xuan carried three rolls of white insect skin and silk balls and jumped on the back of the chirping.
"Take off!"
"Whew-"
After a chirp, the chirp swooped down.
Shao Xuan looked back at the top of the mountain.
The top of the mountain, towering into the clouds, was hidden in the mist.
Surrounded by clouds and mist, the mountains are still the same.
Tens of millions of years have passed, and this ice field on the top of the mountain has been circulating day after day, alternating between the old and the new. When he came, he was old and in poor health, and when he left, he was reborn. (To be continued......)
