Chapter 7 Digging Birds' Eggs
When the thin monkey led Xiao Lin Yan to hurry to the entrance of the village, he saw Da Zhuang and the others who were already waiting in a hurry from a distance, and unexpectedly in addition to the second egg, Lin Tian also came, and the two of them sped up their pace and walked over.
"Skinny monkey, why are you so slow, it's too late if you don't hurry." Da Zhuang urged.
"What are you urging, the little master's leg is about to break!" The thin monkey spat bitter water in dissatisfaction.
"Don't make any noise, it's not that urgent." The second egg on the side saw that the two were about to quarrel again, and hurriedly said.
After hearing this, the thin monkey spread his hands and said to Erdan: "Listen...... The second egg said that he was not in such a hurry. ”
Da Zhuang became even more angry when he saw him like this, and said, "That's the second bastard, I'm embarrassed to say you...... You ......"
Seeing that the "war" was about to escalate, Xiao Lin Yan hurriedly separated the two, changed the topic, looked at Lin Tian on the side and asked, "Brother Lin Tian, are you here too?"
Lin Tian nodded with a smile and said, "I have some experience in cultivation recently, so I just happened to go out for a walk with you."
The thin monkey quietly approached Xiao Lin Yan and whispered in his ear: "This guy has been practicing the exercises for so long, he must be very capable of fighting, and it is safe to follow him."
When Xiao Lin Yan heard this, he also smiled helplessly: This kid is still so shrewd!
Now that everyone has arrived, Erdan took everyone out of the village and walked towards the mountains.
This mountain is called "Sun Moon Mountain", which is a branch of the Tianjue Mountain Range that stretches for tens of thousands of miles and spans several states. Legend has it that this mountain was not originally called by this name, because the top of the mountain is purple sandstone, which is red, and it is called "Chiling". Later, there was a fairy who eliminated the demon here, holding a yin and yang treasure mirror to cut off a man-eating black Jiao, but unfortunately the treasure mirror was also divided into two with the fierce battle, turning into the "Sun Moon Mountain" here.
Of course, the young people in the village naturally don't believe much in these mythical legends, and "Treasure Mirror Slaying Dragon" is just a story to deceive children. However, although people do not think that there really is a man-eating black Jiao here, there are many beasts that hurt people, and even experienced old hunters only dare to wander around the periphery, not too deep. As for the Tianjue Mountain Range, it is even more inaccessible, it is a paradise for all kinds of plants, a paradise for fierce beasts, and it is said that there is an old demon living in the depths who has survived the thunderstorm, waiting to be devoured by people; It is also said that there is a bewitching beautiful snake that specializes in confusing people who come here, and once they fall into it, they will be eaten to the point that there are no bones left. All kinds of bizarre and terrifying legends have raised the danger level of the Heavenly Absolute Mountain Range by several levels, which can be described as a fierce name! Considering that they might encounter danger, the group naturally brought some weapons with them when they came, and Lin Tian even carried the horn bow he had obtained in the clan competition.
Xiao Lin Yan and his party walked for a while, and then came to the outer entrance of "Sun Moon Mountain". Everyone lined up, Erdan led the way in front, followed by Lin Tian, who was responsible for opening the way and protecting them, followed by Da Zhuang and Thin Monkey, who were cut off by Xiao Lin Yan. As they walked forward, they avoided all kinds of plant branches, and from time to time they had to guard against poisonous snakes and beasts that might suddenly burst out.
Walking and walking, the second egg in front of him raised his hand to let everyone stop, and then pointed ahead, it was a dense poplar forest, the trees were towering, more than ten meters high, and some of the trees were very thick, and some of the trees needed three or four adults to hug the waist. It is said that these trees can live for more than 200 years at most, and it is estimated that they are nearly 100 years old. The eagle's nest they were looking for was deep in this poplar forest.
The group slowed down and slowly moved deeper into the woods, trying not to make a sound, so as not to alarm the target. As they went deeper, there was no eagle's nest in sight, only the occasional rustle of people walking.
Finally, the thin monkey couldn't help but whisper: "Erdan, are you sure it's here?"
Hearing this, Erdan scratched his head and said, "I remember that this is the right place!"
Then, Erdan carefully identified the direction again, and said firmly: "That's right, it should be almost there!"
After walking some distance, they finally saw a tall poplar tree in front of them, which stood out even in such a dense forest. At a height of about 20 meters above the ground, there is a huge nest, which is built on the top of a big tree like a house, and it must be an eagle's nest.
When the thin monkey saw it, he shouted excitedly: "Oh my God, such a big eagle's nest, the eggs inside are estimated to be small, and now I can pick up a treasure!"
Everyone hurriedly said, "Be quiet, don't let it find out!"
The thin monkey hurriedly covered his mouth with his hands and nodded embarrassedly. Now that the location of the target has been determined, the next step is to observe the situation, and everyone scattered and hid behind the nearby poplar tree, looking up to observe the eagle's nest at the top of the tree not far away.
But everyone waited left and right, and they did not see an eagle flying out of it, and they did not even hear an eagle's cry.
Da Zhuang asked uncertainly, "Isn't the eagle inside?"
Lin Tian was the eldest of these children, and he knew more, he thought about it and said, "At this time, I may have gone out hunting."
When the thin monkey heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "Then what are you waiting for, take advantage of the fact that you have taken out its bird's nest now!"
"Who's going to go?" Erdan looked at the towering tree and asked weakly.
Everyone thought about it, and a pair of eyes looked at the thin monkey in unison. The thin monkey was also stunned, and asked rhetorically, "Me?"
Da Zhuang gloated and smiled: "Who doesn't know that your kid is a good tree climber in the village, who will go if you don't go?"
Everyone nodded in agreement, and the thin monkey looked bitter after hearing it, and immediately turned his gaze for help to his good brother Xiao Lin Yan, who could only helplessly spread his hand to show that he could not do anything, and made a cheering gesture to the thin monkey.
Seeing that he couldn't get rid of it, the thin monkey complained a few words and responded: "Alas, let me do all the dirty work, really!" No way, who made me have this ability, is this what people often say, 'the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility'? ”
The crowd ignored his soliloquy, and the thin monkey prepared and bandaged his hands with strips of rags to increase friction. However, although he is good at climbing trees, such a tall tree is still "the first time that the big girl gets on the sedan chair", but the cowhide has been blown out, and he can't admit it in this situation! Okay, what's the big deal, once born and twice cooked, is the master still afraid of this? Thinking so, the thin monkey rubbed his hands together and began to climb from the bottom of the tree.
As time passed, the skinny monkey slowly moved upwards and before you knew it, it had climbed to the middle of the tree. Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead from time to time, and his palms were also full of sweat, if it weren't for the strips of cloth, he probably wouldn't have been able to catch them.
Everyone reminded the thin monkey in the tree to pay attention to safety, and they felt terrified when they looked at it below, let alone the thin monkey in the tree. The thin monkey took a few deep breaths, adjusted his state, and was about to climb upwards again, when suddenly, the expressions of the people below were like ghosts, and the second egg was even more frightened, his lips trembled, his upper and lower teeth kept chattering, and he shouted in horror: "Rear ...... Back ......"
The thin monkey in the tree also heard the trembling cry of the second egg, and felt a gust of wind from behind, and his heart suddenly felt a second. As soon as he turned around, the skinny monkey was almost so frightened that he peed out. Less than two meters behind him is wrapped around a gray-brown python, its body is more than ten meters long, its body is as thick as a bucket, at this moment it is slowly approaching the tree where the thin monkey is located, and from time to time it makes a "hissing" sound, and you can even smell the stench coming from its mouth when you get close.
At this moment, the thin monkey was already frightened, his body stiffened in place, and he was left with instinct and hugged the trunk tightly and did not let go. Just when everyone was anxious, a loud cry resounded through this poplar forest.
Not good, the eagles are back!
