Leaving the desert and flying north, the greener gradually increases, and a huge dark green basin appears in Ralph's field of vision, which is the Congo Basin.

According to the guidance of the chest feather, this is where Aiden is located, the Congo rainforest, the center of Africa, and one of the three largest tropical rainforests in the world.

As the distance approached, the first thing Ralph felt was the humid moisture and the gradually rising temperature.

In Ralph's point of view, there was an extremely tall and stout tree growing in the northwestern part of the basin, and its body was so vigorous that it was about to overflow, and a glance at it from a distance made Ralph feel comfortable and transparent, as if it had been washed.

At the same time, there was a strong sense of magic in front of them, unlike the desert they had passed through before, the Congo rainforest was full of magic here, as if there was a star spring like the Forbidden Forest.

However, that huge tree can be compared to the star spring.

Ralph and Sophia approached the edge of the rainforest, and a ptarmigan had already rested in the canopy of a tree waiting.

His figure is not as streamlined as Ralph, but similar to Sophia, and strong, but Sophia is far inferior to him.

The wings are very strong, and although they are covered by feathers, they can still clearly outline the muscles underneath. There is also the protruding pectoral muscles, because Aiden is in a standing position at this time, the pectoral muscles are fully exposed, very full and linear.

Even the muscles of the legs have very obvious traces of exercise, and the calf, that is, the part of the chicken leg that is usually eaten, is wrapped by the muscle, making the part of the tarsal metatarsal bone connected to it look extraordinarily slender, that is, the part of the big bone of the chicken claw.

Seeing the sturdy wings of the second brother Aiden, Sophia suddenly felt that her bird's head hurt a little.

At this moment, Aiden was standing on the branch, looking into the distance, his eyes a little glazed, but he still paid some attention to Ralph's chest feathers.

After a while, he came back to his senses, and his dull eyes became sharper, a little sharper than the eyes of ordinary thunderbirds.

Sensing the proximity of Ralph and Sophia, he turned his head and saw two figures not far away, with some softness in their eyes.

The three ptarmigans soon reunited, and a heavy rain fell on the edge of the rainforest.

They hadn't seen each other for a long time, they cried to each other, touched each other's beaks, and flew and circled in the sky together, teasing each other's tail feathers.

Patches of thunderclouds, under the call of their magic, converged in the sky of this area.

Countless creatures raised their heads and looked at the dark clouds that had suddenly converged, and three huge shadows of different sizes loomed in the flickering thunderclouds.

Of the three siblings, Sophia is the smallest, while Ralph and Aiden are not very easy to compare. Aiden is physically robust, suitable for close combat, and widest; Ralph is the slender body of a normal bird, suitable for flying, and the longest.

Therefore, when the three brothers and sisters are together, they are still very different.

Some of the magical beasts that had a lot of time to do immediately bowed their heads, stopped looking, and hurriedly went about their own business.

At the same time, their hearts are also wailing, one thunderbird has made them unbearable, why two more, I hope they won't live forever.

Especially the magical beasts who stand at the top of the rainforest food chain are in a particularly bad mood, they don't want two more battle maniacs to fight with them every day, and they can't kill them yet, but they can't stop fighting.

This world is becoming more and more difficult.

After a while, thunder and lightning roared, and torrential rain poured.

However, a dazzling fire flashed, and the weather was clear again.

Both Ralph and Sophia were frightened by the intense danger within the firelight, and their feathers exploded.

It was Aiden, who had a dissatisfied but helpless expression, as if he had known it for a long time.

"Don't worry, she won't do anything to us little cubs."

Aiden explained to Ralph and Sophia, their curious gazes explaining the being.

In Aiden's solution

After being released, the feathers that Ralph and Sophia had blown up slowly recovered and returned to their original state.

It was a phoenix that lived in the Congo rainforest, I don't know how old it was, but it should be very big.

Out of blood kinship, Aiden once asked, but was beaten up and told that the age of the girl should not be asked.

Since then, he hasn't talked about age in front of the old phoenix.

The elderly phoenix is revered as queen by the creatures of the Congolese rainforest, but no one knows her real name.

Aiden asked many of the elders who had survived here for a long time, but to no avail.

He also learned from the young creatures and called her Grandma, or Grandma the Queen.

As you can imagine, he was educated again.

And it is a crushing education from the side that Aiden is best at, and the colleague who makes Aiden doubt his life has to call her aunt or aunt with a shy face, of course, the queen She doesn't mind.

Although he was crushed by his aunt in terms of melee combat, Aiden was even more excited because he had found a good teacher.

Facts have proved that as long as you are studious and live a long time, you can become proficient in all aspects.

Under his aunt's teaching, Aiden also learned that he couldn't just focus on melee combat and abandon others, and his own talent should be developed, and it would often have unexpected results in battle.

For example, the talent of the phoenix, the ultimate flame affinity, can almost be said to be the embodiment of flames.

When giving Aiden special training, the queen of the rainforest often used flames to fascinate Aiden's vision, and a phoenix teleported, came to him, raised her wings, and slammed Aiden's head.

This allows Aiden to experience what Sophia once felt, but unlike Sophia, he enjoys it.

Like his aunt, Aiden felt that he could only improve if he was beaten, so instead of fearing pain, he enjoyed the uneasiness that this physical warning brought him.

The Queen of the Rainforest is known as the Queen not only because of the years she has lived here, but also because of her contribution to the rainforest.

Although she has a somewhat irritable personality and beats people at every turn, she is still a very caring phoenix, but the long years have taught her how to restrain and implement this kindness.

In the Congolese rainforest, a large number of trees grow with the help of sunlight, sending a lot of water vapor into the sky, which affects the climate of the region.

The clouds converge, bringing heavy rain and thunderstorms.

In the rainforest, the tall and magical trees are especially popular with lightning, and lightning often visits their canopies, leaving deep scars on their bodies that are difficult to remove or rob them of their lives.

At this point, the Queen of the Rainforest will come to her rescue, and she will help the older or magical tall trees, and some magical vines are also within her range.

She doesn't give a second glance at the tall trees that don't have magical powers, and let them fall and die, turning them into fertilizer to nourish the land and give birth to more life in the future.

The towering giant tree that Ralph and Sophia saw is still alive today, and it must be the queen's credit to it.

Thunder and lightning are only a small part of the existential crisis for the creatures here, and what makes them even more desperate is the forest fire.

In the face of such a large-scale natural disaster, whether it is a magical animal or an ordinary creature, the danger is the same.

There have been more than one forest fire in the Congolese rainforest, and the title of queen has become louder with each fire.

In the face of disaster, the Queen of the Rainforest will rescue all magical creatures that deserve to be saved, depending on their rarity or importance to the rainforest.

But for those ordinary creatures, she will not cast a gaze and let them fend for themselves, unless a magic species appears in one of the families.

The long years have made her deeply aware of her responsibilities.

Like Ralph, she has been recognized by the will of the rainforest, which will help her in times of danger.

It can be said that within the confines of the rainforest, she is invincible.

It is also because of the place that needs to be guarded that she has always stayed in the world, unwilling to leave, this land, poured into her countless years of hard work.

She knew that it was the will of the rainforest that chose her, and what made her active and gave birth was the fading magic.

Therefore, what she needs to protect is the magic of this land and the ecological environment that maintains the cycle of magic.

It's not that she looks down on non-magical beings or dismisses them, but she knows that non-magic is the choice of the world, and that one day in the future, they will eventually occupy the soil of magic and destroy it completely.

At that time, she would be gone, and there would be no more on this planet for her to fall in love with, and perhaps she would walk before that, she had guessed for herself.

Survival in the rainforest may seem tough, but for magical beasts, it's very comfortable.

And then blessed with magical abilities, they survive here very well.

Due to the Queen's presence, magical beasts rarely kill each other, and the objects they prey on are ordinary creatures. Unless they are really hungry, they will leave the rainforest and go outside to fight tooth sacrifices.

With Aiden's briefing, Ralph and the others learned that the vigorous giant tree was the residence of the Queen of the Rainforest.

Known as the Optimus Wood by local magical beasts and wizards, it grows on the north side of the Congo River.

There is a large tree hole in it, and the queen of the rainforest usually rests in it, which can be regarded as her dormitory. Outside the tree hole, there is also a small platform with evergreen rain-sheltering leaves growing on it.

There is also a large bird's nest in different styles on the canopy of the supertree, some are open-air, some have rain platforms, and those are her palaces for her to play and watch the rainforest scenery in different directions.

Aiden's dwelling was on the other side of the river in a tall canopy, where he had built his nest.

Compared to the Queen, his lair is rather rudimentary, with all sorts of loot on it.

Due to the abundance of thunderstorms in the rainforest, the yield of lightning strike wood is also abundant.

The basic structure of Aiden's lair is made of lightning-struck wood, large and small, of varying lengths, and covered with a delicate layer of leaves, feathers, and animal hair.

Above the nest is a rain curtain made of the tree's own branches and the leaves growing on it, preventing the nest from being wetted by rain.

But Aiden still complains to them that he still needs to use magic every day to dry the nest.

The reason is that the humidity here is so heavy that every morning, the fog condenses on the rain curtain and drops down as water droplets.

Aiden was woken up by water droplets every day, and when he felt a little moist and cool on his body, he knew it was time to get up and dry the nest.

The rain curtain is not a complete and smooth curtain, but is made up of interwoven tree branches, so that there is a place for water droplets to collect and drip on it.

Although ptarmigans like to be in thunderclouds, when it comes to nesting, they, like most birds, prefer to be dry and refreshing.

If the large nest entered the three ptarmigans, it was obviously a little crowded, so they came closer.

Ralph and Sophia also took this opportunity to see the scars on Aiden's body, and they couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable, and stepped forward to touch the corner of Aiden's mouth, which made Aiden a little confused.

However, when talking about these scars, Aiden was very excited, and excitedly shared with them the origin of each scar on his body.

It turned out that this was all left by him on purpose, that is, he had feathers, and Aiden also changed the color of the feathers so that the scars could be recognized.

Therefore, these scars are all glory for him.

At this point, Ralph and Sophia had nothing more to say, so they obediently listened to Aiden tell him about his combat experience.

Maybe it's because he hasn't met much communication with the same clan before, but as soon as Aiden talks about these things, he has a posture that can't stop, and he talks endlessly.

Ralph and Sophia also used this to explore Aiden's lair, where they smelled a strange, not-so-pleasant smell.

The shell of the color-changing conch is embedded in the edge of the nest, changing colors, and instead of making this dark-toned nest more beautiful, it is more earthy.

On the trunk of a tree on one side, two ptarmigan feathers were stuck there, and on top hung the tail of an inexplicable creature, and under the border with the nest, there were a few teeth, not here.

Not far away, there was a huge horn that shimmered red, the size of Sophia's head, and Ralph recognized it, it was the horn of a poisonous horn, which contained a poisonous substance and could explode, and it was not this.

Not far from Sophia, there is a snake head with an egg in its head, such an obvious feature, at first glance, you can know that it is the head of a runi snake.

I don't know if this is Aiden's trophy or picked up, after all, this snake has three heads and likes infighting.

The eggs inside have lost their vitality, but the insurance measures are well done, they are not rotten, and they are not them.

As time passed, the smell grew stronger and stronger within the lair, and even Aiden himself could smell it.

"Big brother, why do you smell like you?"

He sniffed, looked at Ralph, and asked suspiciously.
