Chapter Seventy-One: The White Snake
Fengyun immediately gathered his gaze and looked at the spoiler in the sky.
The first thing that caught his eye was a flash of gold, coming from the top of the spoiler's head.
The spoiler is actually a big bird named Golden Feather Eagle.
It gets its name from the tuft of golden feathers on the top of its head, which are very pure in color, as if they were made of gold, which is very conspicuous.
Especially under the sun, the golden light is shining and dazzling.
The Golden Feather Eagle is very fierce and will often dive directly down from the air, attacking the brutes on the ground and even the hunters of the tribe.
It flies very fast and is very alert, and its defense is not bad, so it is extremely difficult to hunt, and few hunters in the tribe have successfully hunted it.
Because of this, the golden feathers on the top of the golden feather eagle have become a symbol of glory, and whoever can have it, people will look up and cast envious and admiring eyes.
Hunters who have hunted golden feathered eagles are also very fond of golden feathers, and on weekdays, they will not take them out at all, except on extremely important occasions such as sacrifices or awakening ceremonies.
"It turned out to be a golden feather eagle, so it's no wonder. ”
After recognizing the Golden Feather Eagle's identity from the peculiar golden feathers on its head, Fengyun immediately understood why the argalus in charge of the guard had raised the alarm.
The golden-feathered eagle is also one of the natural predators of the Horned sheep.
Rolling Stone Mountain can stop most of the brute beasts walking on the ground, but it can't stop the golden feather eagle flying in the air.
Although the Golden-Feathered Eagle does not have a weight advantage over the Panehorn sheep, and is not even a tenth of the largest Panehorn sheep, they are still a huge threat to the flock.
The Golden Feather Eagle also knows its own disadvantages, so when they attack the flock, their first choice is often the lamb.
The lambs are fundamental to the continuation and growth of the Horn sheep race, and attacking them is very unacceptable to the flock.
Therefore, as long as the Golden Feather Eagle is spotted, even if they do not attack the flock, the flock will immediately go on alert.
Fengyun's gaze moved away from the golden feather eagle and looked at the flock, wanting to see how they responded, and most importantly, to see if there was any opportunity to take advantage of it.
The result was a little disappointing for him.
The sheep are nervous but not flustered.
After the initial panic, the arricorn sheep quickly calmed down and began to move methodically.
Some of the tallest argahorn sheep gathered in the middle of the flock, and the little lambs immediately ran under them and hid.
The other argaihorn sheep surrounded them in a tight defensive formation.
It is almost impossible to attack the lamb directly.
Looking at the changes in the flock, Fengyun immediately knew that they should have a lot of experience in dealing with the attacks of the Golden Feather Eagle.
Fengyun moved his gaze to the Golden Feather Eagle again, wanting to see what method it would use to break the flock's defensive array.
Storm introduced him to the Golden Feather Eagle, knowing that its temperament is very persistent and tenacious, once it has chosen a target to attack, it will never give up easily, and will do everything possible to launch an attack until it succeeds.
If he could disturb the flock and draw all their attention, he would be able to fish in troubled waters.
Of course, if he had the chance, he wouldn't let go of the Golden Feather Eagle.
To be honest, he didn't have much interest in hunting the Golden Feather Eagle, mainly because it didn't have much meat and it was very difficult to hunt.
But the golden feathers on its head could give him a higher prestige and status in the tribe, which was what he needed.
The Golden Feather Eagle's behavior greatly exceeded Fengyun's expectations.
It had no intention of attacking the sheep at all, just circled in the air.
"Could it be that the sheep are too tightly guarded and have nowhere to start?"
Fengyun speculated about the Golden Feather Eagle's thoughts, but he soon realized that his idea was wrong.
The golden feather eagle has been hovering in the air and does not fall, not because it can't find the flaws in the flock, but because it doesn't want to fall at all.
At this time, the height of the Golden Feather Eagle had dropped a lot, and with Fengyun's eyesight, he could already see it very clearly, and he could even see the changes in his eyes.
He saw pain, anger, and helplessness.
At first, he thought it was his wishful thinking and his own speculation, after all, the difference between humans and the golden feather eagle is too far, and it is difficult for people to identify the emotions of birds to ensure accuracy.
But what happened next confirmed that he was right about the way it looked.
The golden-feathered eagle chirped, but it was completely devoid of the pride and confidence of the sky soarers, only pain and helplessness, low and hoarse......
The emotions revealed in the golden feather eagle's chirping were so strong that even if they were of different races, Fengyun could be sure that he would not be mistaken.
"Was it coerced?"
A possibility crossed Fengyun's mind.
He looked away from the Golden Feather Eagle and looked higher, looking for something that could pose a threat to the Golden Feather Eagle.
The Golden Feather Eagle is certainly very fierce, and some brute beasts are afraid of it, but it is not yet the overlord of the sky, and there are still flying brute beasts that are more terrifying than it.
If there were a flying brute more terrifying than it, it could indeed be coerced.
The sky above the Golden Feather Eagle was empty, and there was nothing.
Fengyun expanded the scope of the search, but still found nothing, and there were no flying brute beasts that could pose a threat to the Golden Feather Eagle.
"If it weren't for the flying brute that posed a threat to it, why would it behave like this?"
Fengyun was confused by the Golden Feather Eagle.
It was at this time that the Golden Feather Eagle began to fall, and its foothold was the top of the Mountain that was supposed to be Rolling Stone.
Fengyun could strongly feel its reluctance and struggle, but in the end it had to give in.
"What happened to it?"
Fengyun had a strong curiosity about the Golden Feather Eagle in his heart.
He turned his head to look at the herd, and saw that they were still on high alert, and there was no way to capture one or two without them knowing.
After a slight groan, Fengyun made a new move.
He began to retreat, beginning to move away from the hollow where the sheep rested.
Pushing out the distance, confirming that the sheep could no longer see him, the storm began to approach the top of the mountain.
He wanted to see what had happened to the Goldenfeather Eagle.
At the same time, it is also to kill time and wait for the sheep to let their guard down and lift their guard.
In addition, he wanted to see if there was a chance to do it.
After about five minutes, Fengyun came to the vicinity of the top of the mountain.
At the top of the hill is a platform the size of four or five houses, which is relatively flat.
Fengyun hid his body behind a large rock near the edge of the mountain top, and quietly poked his head out to spy on the movements of the Golden Feather Eagle.
He found it standing in front of a groove formed by two stones.
Laid with many branches and hay in the groove, it is a bird's nest in which another golden-feathered eagle lies.
The two golden-feathered eagles let out a continuous low chirp, as if they were communicating something.
Fengyun didn't know the language of birds, so he didn't know exactly what they were communicating, but that didn't stop him from speculating about them.
The golden feather eagle that fell in the sky, that is, the golden feather eagle standing outside the nest, seemed to be persuading the golden feather eagle in the nest, as for what it persuaded it to do, Fengyun could not guess.
However, Fengyun is not in a hurry.
He believes that time will present the answer before his eyes.
After another quarter of an hour, the golden feather eagle outside the nest still failed to complete the persuasion of the golden feather eagle in the nest.
At this time, Fengyun was already a little impatient.
The incomprehensible bird whispers in my ears and the fact that I can't see anything new going on is indeed a challenge to patience.
Fengyun began to turn his attention away from the communication between the two Golden Feather Eagles, and instead prepared to study the attack plan and how to catch them all.
At this time, things changed in a way that Feng Feng never dreamed of.
Outside the nest, the feathers on the back of the golden-feathered eagle suddenly curled, as if something was about to emerge from it.
This new situation immediately attracted Fengyun's gaze, staring at the back of the Golden Feather Eagle.
After a few moments, another color appeared on the back of the golden feather eagle, which was white.
This color comes from something that comes out from under its feathers.
It's a creature that you wouldn't have thought of until you saw it.
It's a snake, a white snake.
It is not thick, only the thickness of a finger, the length is uncertain, and the lower part of its body is still in the feathers of the golden feathered eagle, and the exposed part is less than a foot, seven or eight inches.
Fengyun was a little resistant to snakes, but he didn't feel this way at all about the white snake that came out of the back of the golden feather eagle.
It's so beautiful, and it's white and flawless.
If it doesn't move, it will be regarded as a work of art carved from the finest mutton fat jade.
Its tongue is also very different from that of ordinary snakes, not dark purple nor black, but beautiful pink.
In addition, its eyes are also very beautiful, they are silver, with a dark golden vertical line in the middle, and there is no trace of the coldness that snakes are peculiar.
Fengyun was attracted by this white snake that appeared in an extremely special way.
The White Snake didn't seem to feel Fengyun's gaze, and after it appeared, it went to look at the two Golden Feather Eagles.
Its appearance frightened the two golden-feathered eagles greatly, and the one carrying it collapsed to the ground with weak legs, and the one in the nest also bowed his head deeply and trembled.
Seeing the performance of the two golden feathered eagles, Fengyun immediately equated the white snake with danger.
Beneath its deceptive exterior lies great danger, otherwise it would not have scared the two golden-feathered eagles like this.
Soon, the white snake pulled its entire body out of the feathers of the golden feathered eagle, and it was indeed not long, less than two feet.
It began to move, but it moved differently from normal snakes, with most of its body raised high and only its tail supporting it.
Watching the movement of the white snake, Fengyun's mind involuntarily popped up with an adjective - elegant.
Fengyun himself felt a little ridiculous, there was such a temperament of elegance on the body of a snake, but he did feel this way at the time.
Looking at it, for a moment, he will forget that it is a snake.
In a trance, he saw as if he was a well-educated lady, with graceful posture and elegant manners.
