Chapter 610: Heavyweight Mountain Eagle
The totem of the Hui tribe resembles an abstract curling cloud, and this tribe is also located on higher ground, belonging to the plateau.
The horses were running on the plateau, Shao Xuan could see a large herd of very energetic horses from the air, even if he didn't go down to take a closer look, but he could know by feeling that the average quality of the horses here was higher than that of the Feng tribe.
Gula didn't slow down, and flew towards the mountains not far away.
Most of the Hui people live in the mountains, like their totems, surrounded by clouds.
This section belonging to the Hui tribe is almost the highest part in the vicinity, stretching straight into the distance, and it seems that the mountains suddenly uplift here, and the perennial ice and snow on the high mountains, surrounded by clouds on the mountainside, and the people of the Hui tribe live here.
There were some eagles flying around the mountain, many of them were not very large, and they were young eagles in the population of giant eagles on the peaks, and some of them flew over curiously, but they probably felt the bad mood of chirping, and they screamed and flew away, flapping their wings through the clouds, and dispersing a white mist. The air currents driven by the wings swirled, and the white weapon swirled with it, and then a long tail was held out, which gradually dispersed.
Gula took Shao Xuan close to a place on the mountainside, and many stone houses were built around the mountainside, and some caves were dug directly and lived in the mountain. Shao Xuan saw that there were many people from the Hui tribe who were skillfully climbing on the mountain wall, there were children training, and there were not many adults guarding around, but there were more eagles, even if they were only small juvenile mountain eagles, it was still okay to catch a child.
When the eagles saw a child sliding down the mountain wall, they flew over and grabbed it, and then carried it down on the raised rock platform, which the Hui tribesmen had specially made out of the raised rocks of the mountain wall, for the rest of the children who practiced climbing the mountain wall.
Looking at the situation over there, Shao Xuan noticed that the chirp seemed to be a little hesitant. Just now, the rhythm of the flight diverged for a moment.
There was nothing else unusual around, there were eagles flying over, but those eagles flew in just now, even if the chirp reacted, it shouldn't have been shown now.
There was nothing unusual below, and there were no other eagles around. Shao Xuan looked up at a higher place, his eyes were fixed, and he found that on the mountain where the tribe was located, near the top of the mountain, at the boundary of the white snow layer, there was something that was not obvious, because its coat color was too close to the color of the mountain wall, if it weren't for the fact that it had just moved, Shao Xuan would have found it rarely.
Is that...... Eagle?
It doesn't seem to be the same as the others. It looks like a ball.
The mountain is not flat, and there are many steep and dangerous places on the mountain wall, and it is really rare for that thing to be able to stabilize its body on that cliff without falling.
"It's here!"
Gula stopped at a road around the mountain, which was the road dug out by the Hui tribesmen, and they usually used it to go back and forth, and on the whole mountain, only the road they carved out to circle the mountain could walk. In other places, if you want to go up the mountain, you can only use climbing.
The trail around the mountain is not flat. But the victory is wide enough, even if it is chirping, it can stop directly on the road, I believe that when this road was dug at the beginning, the people who returned to the tribe considered the situation of the mountain peak giant eagle stopping.
"Even here. Gula pointed to a cave not far away, and Shao Xuan looked over.
The entrance to the cave was huge, about 10 meters high. It is more than eight meters wide, it is inverted "U" shaped, and there is an inscription on the wall above the cave entrance, which is the "Hui" character of the Hui tribe, but the writing method uses a cloud scroll pattern. It looks like a curling cloud, and it has seven points of resemblance to the totem of the Hui tribe.
"Our witches and chieftains are there. Gula said.
In the Hui tribe, the cave is only used by any witch and chieftain, and it is like a mansion in which only the leader of the tribe is qualified to reside.
The people inside should have gotten the news in advance, when Shao Xuan landed, there were already people walking out of the cave, and waiting at the door was the elder of the Hui tribe named Heshe whom Shao Xuan knew.
"Welcome to our Hui tribe, Wu and the leader are inside, let's go in and talk again. Hersher laughed.
Shao Xuan followed Heshe to the entrance of the cave for two steps, and then turned back to chirp and said, "You go play by yourself and get in touch with the other eagles." ”
"This is ......" Heshe looked at the eagle behind Shao Xuan, puzzled.
"It's chirp. ”
"Is it?!It's back?!" Both Heshe and Gula were very surprised, and then relieved, they could enter Eagle Mountain again under that situation and successfully come out, no wonder it would grow so big, and it is estimated that it will continue to grow in the future, the transformation effect of Eagle Mountain has not yet been fully revealed, and it will take time to prove.
"Congratulations!" said Hesher enviously. Mountain eagles generally only go to Eagle Mountain when they are forced to do so, and it is rare for them to pass again before the bottleneck period is reached, and they also succeed in coming out.
It's just that the chirp who was stared at by Hersher and Gula didn't give a charity, and even when Shao Xuan spoke just now, the chirp didn't respond, but looked up at the mountain, as if he was on guard against something.
Shao Xuan followed the chirping gaze.
Whew-la-la-la-
Some stones and small stones rolled down from the mountain wall, and at the same time, the mountain was accompanied by a "popping" sound, but compared to other eagles such as chirping, it appeared to be more brittle and tender, but it was different from the ordinary call of young eagles.
As soon as they saw this movement, the expressions of the surrounding Hui tribesmen changed suddenly, and the next moment they avoided it in the distance.
A dark shadow fell from above, accompanied by the sound of gravel and small stones sliding.
The fluttering fluff flew away in the wind, and the chirp and the mountain knives that were also resting on the road were shielded in front of them with their wings, like a shield, blocking the falling stones and the fluff that made them unpleasant.
Heshe and Gula raised their hands to remove the fluff that had drifted in front of them, and looked over there, and their faces turned pale.
"Shao Xuan, Shao Xuan, are you okay?!" Gula hurried over.
The figure that fell from the mountain happened to fall where Shao Xuan was standing, which made the people around who saw this scene open their mouths wide, and some of them already showed a miserable look on their faces, covering their faces, as if they were embarrassed to look over there.
Hersher also passed nervously.
However, it doesn't seem to smell blood, so it should be ...... You weren't stoned, were you?
The Hui tribe witch and the leader who had just come out of the cave happened to see the scene just now, and they were so frightened that the staff in the hand of the Hui tribe witch fell off. If the Great Elder of Yanjiao was stoned to death here, how could they give Yanjiao a satisfactory explanation?
Fortunately, it was fast. Shao Xuan's voice came from below.
"Damn, this guy is really heavy!"
With a sound, the smashed mass was lifted a little.
Shao Xuan propped up with his hands up, looked at it, and found that where his hands were propped up. It seems to be a claw. Those who can grow such claws are generally birds or birds of prey.
If you look closely, you can see that the fluff flying everywhere is actually falling from the feathers of the young birds.
Young birds?
Shao Xuan thought of the lump he saw near the top of the mountain when he came, and his propped palm propped it up twice, weighing its weight.
It's really heavy!
It's so heavy, how can it fly?
Also, where did you get such a big young bird? It shouldn't have been too long since it was born.
The faces of the Hui tribesmen who saw this situation around couldn't help but twitch.
And not only did it lift. He also slapped it twice!
This, this, this......
Is this the Flamehorn Man?
For those who did not go out with the expedition, the most profound impression of Yanjiao was the scene in front of them at this time, no matter how much others said, it was not as good as what they saw with their own eyes.
The strength of the Yanjiao people is really great!
No one in their tribe has been smashed, after all, everyone is paying attention, but some of the heartless mountain eagles were smashed when they stopped on the road. There was once an eagle as big as a mountain knife that was smashed and fractured, and it was not able to fly for a long time. Since then. The giant eagles of the surrounding peaks avoided the movement far away.
It's just that I didn't expect that the Yanjiao man who was smashed head-on was not only unharmed, but also lifted the whole guy up and shook it twice!
Strange Flamehorn Man!
In front of everyone's eyes, the young eagle that was held by Shao Xuan. It seems that he also feels that something is wrong under his feet, and he still hangs his neck to look down, but because he is too fat and round, he rolls down directly.
The young eagle that had rolled around on the ground shook the feathers on its body, and a lot of fluff flew around.
It was a young eagle that wasn't much smaller than a chirp. Even the mountain knife stood next to the young eagle, and he looked thin. Such a large young eagle is also rare.
Moreover, the eyes of this young eagle seem to have been drawn with an ink pen, and there is a circle of black hair, which is different from chirping. The feathers of the giant eagles on the peaks are not exactly the same color, but most of the young eagles are inherited from their parents, and it is understandable that they are different from the chirping.
After rolling around to stabilize the young eagle regained its footing, he glanced back at Shao Xuan, not paying attention to the vigilant eyes chattering on the side, nor looking at the warriors and other flying eagles around him, his wide round eyes looked at the mountain wall again, and then moved his claws and walked over step by step.
Obviously, he was only a young eagle, and he was not able to fly yet, and he did not hunt alone, but his claws were extremely sharp, and when he walked on the ground, he drew traces on the stone and ground mountain road.
When he came to the mountain wall, the young eagle flashed its wings vigorously, jumped up on its feet, and then grabbed the mountain wall, and grabbed many small stones, and its seemingly bulky body was firmly nailed to the mountain wall.
"What is it doing?" asked Shao Xuan.
"It's practicing. Hesher looked at the mass of eyes on the mountain wall, gentle and reverent, and his tone was quite emotional.
"The young birds of the mountain eagles begin to practice from a short time of birth, practicing climbing, flying, using wings, beaks and claws. Every young eagle will go through thousands of exercises, and the timid and incompetent may die due to various accidents in the connection, but it is precisely because of such a cruel elimination that there will be the mountain eagle that soars today. ”
Heshe told Shao Xuan that the young birds during training might break their wings in front of them, but even if the people who returned to the tribe were in tears, they would never interfere with them, and they should not have compassion for the young birds in training, which was something that everyone who returned to the tribe had been admonished since they were sensible.
It's not that they're ruthless, it's for the good of the young birds of the mountain eagles. If they want to become a qualified mountain eagle in the future and have the ability to go to Eagle Mountain, they have to work hard in the young bird stage, otherwise, when they encounter the first bottleneck, they may die for various reasons in the middle, even if they can successfully reach Eagle Mountain, the chance of coming out of Eagle Mountain alive is smaller than that of other eagles.
Therefore, the current blood and sweat are all for the future trip to Eagle Mountain.
"The mountain eagle has been challenging all his life. ”
Even if you have been beaten countless times and suffered countless bumps and injuries, don't be cowardly, get up and fight again!
This is also the reason why the Hui tribesmen have always worshiped the mountain eagle, and they also use this behavior of the mountain eagle to motivate themselves.
The hairy ball moved up the mountain wall step by step, and it looked like it would fall down the next moment, but it was still firmly nailed to the mountain wall, moving up little by little.
From time to time, small stones and fine stones will roll down, these Hui tribe people have become accustomed to it, they have special people who will be responsible for cleaning up the fallen stones and large and small stones on the road every day, which is the norm of the Hui tribe.
Everyone who returned to the tribe looked at the climbing figure with obvious admiration and encouragement in their eyes, but the young eagle could not see it.
"I have a question. Shao Xuan asked suddenly.
"You say. Hersher withdrew his gaze.
"It hasn't been born for long, has it?" asked Shao Xuan.
"Not bad. "The Wu of the Hui tribe has come over and taken up the question, "It broke out of its shell in the past winter and was born in the coldest part of the winter. ”
No wonder it has such thick hair, and it looks like catkins flying wildly when it shakes. Shao Xuan said in his heart.
"It's just a young bird now, it shouldn't have grown much, it's big when it was born, right?" Shao Xuan asked again.
"It's huge. "The Wu of the Hui tribe is quite proud of this, and it is worthy of pride to be able to have such an eagle.
"How big is the eagle that gave birth to such a big egg?" asked Shao Xuan.
"The eagle that gave birth to it?" The Hui tribe witch looked at Shao Xuan, as if he thought this question was very interesting, and the corners of his eyes narrowed slightly with a smile, "Haven't you seen it?"
"I've seen it?" Shao Xuan was puzzled, and quickly thought of something, took out the stone tablet, pointed at it and looked at the smiling Hui tribe witch, "Is that one?!"
Hui Tribal Witch nodded, "Yes." ”
it!
That's the gap!
How old was a chirp when he was born? Not much bigger than an egg, right?
But look at the one in front of you, you can easily crush a cow, right?
Shao Xuan remembered what Gula had explained to him about the mountain peak giant eagle.
The higher the rank of the mountain eagle, the larger the young eagle will be born, and vice versa, the lower the rank, the smaller the egg.
It's no wonder that Chirp is unhappy to see it, it's like a poor-born dick when he sees the rich second generation with a golden key, and he is unhappy.
The starting point is too high, far more than the other mountain eagles, and it is no wonder that the other mountain eagles are quite afraid of that one. However, the young eagle didn't pay attention to the sights around him at all, no matter what you think, anyway, Lao Tzu ignored it, but there was a kind of "genius is always lonely" artistic conception.
