Deep in the canopy, a small nest sits across the trunk of the tree at the junction of the branches and leaves.

The bird's nest covers a wide area, showing an almost perfect circle, the whole is gray-brown, and is formed by a large number of branches and vines, grass stems and dead leaves, etc., the bottom is wide and deep, and the upper end is surrounded and contracted.

The height of the outer wall alone has reached an astonishing two meters, which is faintly higher than Xu Yue, and the intertwined walls are particularly tight, and there is no gap leading to the interior exposed, and it can be seen that the weaver of the bird's nest in front of him is quite skilled.

At the top of the bird's nest, there are also many green leafy flowers for decoration, so that in addition to practicality, but also a little more emotional, it is hard to imagine that such a huge and exquisite work of art is woven little by little by two birds with not very flexible pointed beaks and claws.

It seems that this mystical factor has an all-round increase for small creatures, not only in terms of body size, but also in terms of intelligence.

Just from the bird cage in front of you, you can know that the bird couple who created this product is not only a head, but its wisdom is far beyond the level of normal animals.

"Let's go, while the master's house hasn't come back yet, move faster."

Although the outer wall of the tall birdcage could block Xu Yue's vision, it could not block his vibration perception, and before he got close, he had already sensed that there were no birds in the cage, only four round oval objects, which should be the source of the aroma of the food sniffed by the squirrel.

After that, a man and a rat jumped up with all their strength, and they all easily stepped over the outer wall and entered the birdcage.

The inside of the cage is neat and smellless, and the bottom is covered with a thick carpet of animal hair and soft grass blades, which is particularly pleasant to the touch when stepping on, and in the center of the carpet are four giant bird eggs about 30 cm long, all of which are blue-blue and shiny.

Different from the common white eggs, the natural bird eggs are diverse in color, the patterns are complex, and they are not confined to one form, and the blue color in front of them is not uncommon in the bird finch family, and brown-headed jay, purple-winged starling, thrush, and robin may be produced.

Xu Yue's knowledge of the field had not yet reached the point where he could judge their parent species based on their color and appearance alone, but this did not prevent him from packing all four bird eggs and taking them away.

This kind of bird egg that has just been born and has not yet hatched a young bird has a high probability of not containing a mystery factor, and the huge size of 30 centimeters is nearly 100 times the size of an ordinary egg, and one can meet his food needs for half a day, which is the best ingredient.

Without hesitation, the two of them took out a few rattans from the inner wall of the bird's nest on their sides, and then wrapped the eggs properly, in a group of two, Xu Yue and the squirrel each took it, and after doing all this, the group immediately picked up the eggs and ran away.

Before leaving, on the one hand, in order to reduce the load, on the other hand, it can be regarded as a reward, Xu Yue also kept the roast bird leg made by him last night in the bird's nest, and he could only say that he hoped that the bird couple who didn't know when they would come back would like his craft.

And not long after Xu Yue and the others left, a thick branch at the edge of the giant tree suddenly began to writhe, and a snake head that almost fused with the color and texture of the bark was raised, and the cold snake pupils opened, staring at the direction in which the group left, and the snake in his mouth was full of words.

…………

After leaving the bird cage, Xu Yue and the others were not busy continuing to hurry, but first found a canopy without living creatures to rest for a while, and also solved the problem of food and clothing by the way.

After setting off from the tree cave this morning, it was a fierce battle against dung beetles, and it was rushing around, whether it was Xu Yue or Ah Fu, they were now in a state of empty stomachs.

Along the way, Xu Yue had also killed several creatures that actively attacked them, but without exception, these creatures contained more or less mysterious factors in their bodies, and they were inedible at all, so most of them were devoured by Ah Fu's two puppets, and now they could only hope that these bird eggs could be eaten normally by the two of them.

The things on the mysterious island are extraordinarily large, at least for outsiders like Xu Yue, it is like entering the realm of giants, and the canopy of the tree where he is now is like a green high-rise building.

Looking for an extremely thick branch in the canopy, he summoned a thousand blades of the magic knife and swept it, extending to a sharp blade more than ten meters long, and a large piece of bark and sawdust suddenly flew out of the surface of the branch, and a wide wooden flat ground was immediately formed.

Sitting down in the flat ground, he placed the four bird eggs in the center of the flat ground, and after a closer look, Xu Yue found that one of these bird eggs was particularly conspicuous, not only was it slightly larger, but even the surface of the blue-blue eggshell had some imperceptible pattern spots.

"Cuckoo?"

Although it is not known what kind of bird the other three eggs were laid by, Xu Yue is more than 80% sure that this bird egg, which is different in comparison, is a cuckoo egg

Only this bird will secretly give birth to its offspring in the nests of the rest of the birds, so as to achieve the purpose of occupying the magpie's nest.

The cuckoo, or cuckoo, is a bird with a very special habit, although it has a beautiful name, but the way of reproduction is extremely cruel, they do not raise their own offspring, but will disguise their offspring as the children of other birds, so as to confuse the pearl.

Even because the cuckoo chick hatches at a generally fast rate, it will push the rest of the eggs in the nest that have not yet hatched out of the nest as soon as it is born, and let it fall from the sky, using this murderous method to ensure its own survival rate, a creature that integrates cruelty into its bloodline.

"It seems that we are not a wave of guests visiting the nest."

As he spoke, Xu Yue took out the cuckoo egg, and his palm pressed the surface of the eggshell and shook slightly, the whole egg began to tremble continuously, and the life that was being conceived inside died immediately, and the egg white yolk also quickly mixed into one in the trembling, regardless of each other.

Then Xu Yue summoned the earth tower shield, and after rinsing it with water, golden red flames gushed out from the palm of his hand, and the entire tower shield was roasted and heated, and soon a huge baking tray appeared in front of Xu Yue.

Pick up the cuckoo eggs on the side and crush them, the golden egg liquid gurgles out of the crack, rolls and solidifies on the baking tray, the rich aroma explodes, and a large plate of simple scrambled eggs is freshly baked after more than ten seconds.

Xu Yue's side has been completed, and Ah Fu's side has also made a simple set of tableware from the truncated branches, and has prepared the preparation before the meal.

Introduction: The most natural ingredients, the purest heating, congratulations, you have found your own way of cooking, at least this time you are not burned.

……………

Decisively ignoring the introduction of the item, Xu Yue looked at the effect of the food, and sure enough, the egg liquid that had not yet given birth to life was not affected by the mysterious factor.

This shows a very interesting phenomenon, that is, the mysterious factor does not naturally exist in these organisms, but some kind of foreign substance, which in some way modified the organisms on the entire island, and formed the current mysterious island.

"Boom."

While thinking about it, an obvious saliva swallowing sound sounded in his ears, Xu Yue looked sideways, the sound came from the squirrel squatting beside Ah Fu, at this time it was staring at the golden scrambled eggs, and there was a faint saliva secretion between his lips.

"The eggs are fine, they can be eaten."

The specific information of the mysterious factor still needs to be collected slowly, but it is more important to solve the problem of food and clothing first, there are a lot of scrambled eggs on the tower shield, and after Xu Yue divided it into two, he still filled two wooden bowls the size of a basin.

Handing the two wooden bowls to Ah Fu and the squirrel in front of him, Xu Yue took out a bird egg again to make it, since the bird eggs can be eaten normally, the food source on the mysterious island is quite sufficient, and with the number of birds he saw along the way, it was more than enough to support him for at least ten days.

Ten minutes later, after the group had eaten and drunk enough, packed up their belongings, and especially the remaining two eggs were properly fastened to the sides of the squirrel, they set off again in the direction of the water source.

According to Ah Fu's translation, it should be very close to the destination now, but the closer to the water source, the denser the distribution of dangerous creatures, so the squirrel chooses to live in the more remote tree.

And just as the two of them and a rat jumped out of the canopy and were about to land on the branch of the next big tree, suddenly a huge gray-brown snake shadow jumped up from below.

The fine stinging sensation suddenly spread all over the body, the beast's intuition was crazy warning, Xu Yue lowered his eyes, and saw a large mouth of blood basin opened under him, the snake kiss several meters long was like a terrifying flesh and blood abyss, the sharp snake teeth on both sides flashed with a faint green light, and the pungent fishy smell came to his face, and at the same time, there was a strange suction, the suction poured out from the bottom of the abyss, wrapping Xu Yue's entire body and dragging it down.

In this dense forest, a deadly threat always comes suddenly and inadvertently, the snake kiss below is coming, Xu Yue's eyes are fixed, his skin turns all over silver in an instant, and a pair of flame wings quickly spread on his back.

The wings flapped to resist the suction drag, and at the same time, Fang Tian's halberd appeared in his hand, and just as he was about to swing it, a silent and strange hissing sound burst out from the snake kiss below.

[You are affected by the effect of 'Stun Snake Roar', and your Constitution is ......]

[If you fail, you will be forcibly stunned for 2 seconds, and the stun duration will be changed to 0.4 seconds due to the Hunter's Will resistance.] 】

In the moment of life and death, let alone 0.4 seconds, even if it is 0.1 seconds, it is the difference between life and death, the moment it was affected by the silent snake roar, Xu Yue only felt that his brain was buzzing, and he instantly lost all his sense of the outside world.

And at this moment, in Ah Fu's horrified gaze, his master was swallowed by this leaping giant snake.
