Chapter 82: Bird's Egg
According to what they said, the fire spear is a plant, after a failure, it will not come back for a short time, plus their "blood" will also prevent some creatures from approaching, so for the time being, this tree hole is still safe, even much safer than in the past few days. It is speculated that the two fire spears are for the green thief, and the tower did not waste time, so he took a few people to the swamp to get some mud, wrapped a layer of mud on the outside of the stone box containing the green thief, and then wrapped it in a large fragrant leaf, tied it with a straw rope and tied it tightly, so that it could block the smell of most of the green thief, and it was also the masking method used in the past when looking for plants with a strong smell. The smell of green thieves is difficult for people to smell, but some plants and animals can sense it through other means. It's also good to take precautions. Now everyone no longer underestimates Shao Xuan, even if they still think that setting a trap is a small way, but it is undeniable that the benefits this method has brought to them, and with it, everyone's attitude towards Shao Xuan is much better. Maybe Shao Xuan was really protected by the ancestors, so that they could find the green thief, and at the same time, Shao Xuan's ability cannot be ignored, at least in the eyes of everyone, so far, Shao Xuan is much more successful than most of the newcomers in the tribe. After resting for a while, Ta and some of the others continued to look around to see if they could find a few more green thief seedlings. And Shao Xuan followed Tuo and Gulp and they climbed up the tree. The hole in the tree is in the middle of the trunk of the giant tree, and further up, the canopy part with dense branches and foliage is occupied by all kinds of birds, although it is not a big bird, and the largest wings are only about a meter, but it is superior in numbers, so the advance party usually does not run to it to provoke them. However, because of the scuffle of the fire spear, many birds were frightened, and the people who stayed in the nest during the day were basically scared away, so after returning to the tree hole, Shao Xuan followed Tuo and Tuo to climb the canopy to copy the bird's nest and pick up a lot of bird eggs. When eating bird eggs in this place, they eat them raw, and all kinds of bird eggs are not refused. Shao Xuan took out three eggs from a bird's nest, the strange thing is that in the same bird's nest, the three eggs look different, in terms of size, the big one is a little bigger than an adult's fist, and the small one is similar to the eggs Shao Xuan had seen in his previous life. In terms of color, there are three eggs, one purple and red, one with blue and white spots, and one is earthy yellow with some circles on it. "Can you eat these?" asked Shao Xuan. She looked back, "Yes, I've eaten it all." "How can the eggs in the same bird's nest look different?" asked Shao Xuan, carefully placing the eggs in the animal skin bag filled with leaves. "Maybe the birds stole it from somewhere else. "I don't care about the authenticity. "Stole?" Shao Xuan was surprised. "Of course, their size can give birth to such eggs? That's probably the kind of bird in your nest," he gestured with his hand, "how is it possible that a little bird can lay several fist-sized eggs at once?" "The eggs on this are all stolen?" Shao Xuan was surprised. "Both. "Definitely authentic. It's really like things gather and birds are divided into flocks. These are all egg-stealing birds, regardless of the species, they all gather together, and they are not afraid that the eggs in the nest will be stolen by other birds, anyway, they are not their own eggs, and they are not distressed if they are stolen. Presumably, these birds should have their own spawning grounds, which are also more secluded, or in other more special ways. When digging birds' eggs, Shao Xuan also found that there were peck eggs in many birds' nests, there were leftover egg whites in the eggs, and some eggs had formed larvae, but they had been pecked incomplete. The birds in the canopy steal their eggs back as a food store. After filling the bag with him, he went back to the hollow of the tree. They searched for most of the day, but they didn't find a single green thief seedling, probably robbed by other creatures. Judging from the table xiàn of the fire spear, the green thief is indeed very popular. Fortunately, Shao Xuan's set set caught the green thief at night, and he got up early in the morning, and the green thief was not snatched away. At the same time, it can also be speculated that the creatures that are interested in the green thief may be those who are active during the day, while the plants and animals that are active at night are not very interested in the green thief. Anyway, I was lucky to be able to catch the green thief this time and find a few green thief seedlings. "Boss, will this seedling die soon after it is torn off?" said Asso, looking at the turquoise seedlings in Ta's hand. As soon as Asso said this, the others thought of it too. They had encountered similar things in the past, and after the seedlings were torn off, no matter how carefully or wrapped in soil, they would die quickly, far less long than the adults could keep. "It's possible. "Why don't we eat the seedlings? "Yes, yes, what if I wake up tomorrow and the seedlings die before they die? After all, the seedlings are not big green thieves, and they are not stored for a long time." "Everyone gathered around to discuss, if it was other plants in the past, they wouldn't be so nervous, but now it's a green thief, how many years have they not encountered it, and the death of any seedling is a great loss. In the end, Ta Clapper decided to eat all the six green thief seedlings in his hand first. He also wanted to wait for the twenty members of the other team to meet before parting, but he already felt that the vitality of the seedlings in his hands began to drain rapidly. Ta first pulled half of the leaf and ate it, he was the strongest here and the leader of the team, and he planned to try it himself first, and if there was no problem, let the other members eat it. Everyone stared at the tower, watching him eat the small half of the leaf, and their eyes were reluctant to blink, for fear of missing any detail. "How is it, how does the boss feel?" asked Asso. Ta felt it carefully and shook his head, "I don't feel anything except for a few things." Everyone was disappointed, but even so, everyone ate the seedlings. Shao Xuan got a leaf, which weighed more than the others, but no one complained, and Shao Xuan was more credited than them combined. If it weren't for the rules handed down by the tribal hunting team, if everyone had to share the things they hunted, Shao Xuan would have taken the green thief for himself, just like Shao Xuan hunted the thorny black wind in the last hunt, and it would belong to his own hunting results. Therefore, everyone knew in their hearts that they had taken a big advantage, and they also planned to help Shao Xuan hunt more food on the way back. When the sun goes down, there are not many birds that fly back to their nests, and most of the birds that are chirping in the trees are less, and the surroundings are much quieter, and those birds have other nests, and if one place is affected, they hide in another place, and come back when it calms down. Before nightfall, he asked Shao Xuan to set up a set around to see if he could put something on at night. The rope connected by the white hair was gone, and could only be replaced with thin vines and grass ropes that were carried. However, Shao Xuan has a feeling that he probably won't be able to get anything tonight. And when night came, everyone was unusual, and did not prepare to sleep and rest, but crowded into the hole. "How do I feel, it does have some effect?" Tuo said, looking at an inconspicuous small protrusion more than ten meters away from the entrance of the cave. "I feel it too!" "I can't see clearly, but I do have to see a little farther than before. "It's true! This is just a seedling, if you eat a big one, will you be able to move freely in the dark?" Even the tower can't move completely freely in the dark, and its vision is not as good as that of those fierce beasts with night vision, and its movement will inevitably be restricted. The effect of the green thief seedlings made everyone happy, but they would not eat alone, they would bring the green thief in the stone box back to the tribe intact and hand it over to the witch. This made Shao Xuan admire Wu even more in his heart. Even in the face of great temptations, these people are able to stick to their principles. This is all the result of witch training. It was an extraordinarily quiet night. The crowd was dreaming, and the night watchmen were keeping their ears up to the movement under the trees, hoping to catch some more thieves. Shao Xuan slept well this night, but he didn't dream, and he didn't dream of those flowing greens anymore. The next day, before the sun came out completely, everyone was in a hurry to go down the tree to see Shao Xuan's lasso, in addition, other people who knew a little bit of the technique also set up a few, but today everyone was disappointed. Nothing is put on. And the ground, which was full of red liquid yesterday, has been covered by a patch of green, and the knee-high grass is dense, and it has risen overnight. The "blood" of the fire spear became their nourishment.
