0004 Piercing eggs
Goyu Mountain is composed of two parts, north and south, and the junction is a long and narrow cliff, if you look down from the sky, the overall shape is like a thin gourd.
Tribal fishermen live in the slightly smaller northern part of the island, which is relatively gentle, centred on a small mountain with a stream flowing down from the summit, providing an abundance of fresh water for fishermen, all surrounded by tall eucalyptus trees and low bushes, providing a safe habitat for fishermen.
The southern part was much larger, and the peaks were taller and more steep, and the jungle was so dense that wild beasts were infested, and no one was allowed to set foot alone without the unanimous consent of the patriarch and the elders of the clan. According to the old patriarch, the southern peak is the real Goyu Mountain, and compared with the north, it is a different world.
It was obviously not the first time that Ouwa had gone to steal holes and bird eggs, she was familiar with the lead in front, and Ji Taifeng followed behind to be vigilant. Taking advantage of the night, the two of them hurried all the way, until they were far away from the residential area and made sure that they had not been discovered, and the gull baby stopped, patting her chest and panting while resting.
"Brother Ji, don't tell grandpa about this, otherwise I will be miserable. By the way, my brother can't let him know, otherwise he will threaten me again!" Ouwa pouted impatiently and told Ji Taifeng.
"This bird's nest can't be in the South Island, right?" Although he is not familiar with Gouyu Mountain, the old patriarch has repeatedly emphasized the danger of the South Island, Ji Taifeng himself is not afraid, but he can't ignore the safety of the gull.
"Oh, don't worry, it's not in the South Island, it's in the Goyu Valley!"
The valley of Goyu is the junction of the south and the north, the terrain is very narrow, and there are cliffs on both sides, what is more peculiar is that it seems to have been cut by the gods with a giant axe, there is a deep and wide ravine, blocking the road between the north and the south.
"That's fine, hurry up, steal the hole eggs as soon as possible, and come back as soon as possible, so that the old patriarch will not find out!" As long as he didn't go to Nandao, Ji Taifeng would be relieved.
The two advanced for another half an hour, and Ouwa suddenly stopped and squatted down, and shouted softly: "It's here, hurry up and lie down!"
Ji Taifeng didn't ask why he wanted to lie down, so he squatted down with Ouwa, and then the two of them crawled forward. Ji Taifeng had this action in military training, so his speed was faster than Ouwa, and he traveled about dozens of meters like this, when he was suddenly blocked by a huge rift in front of him.
It was the first time for Ji Taifeng to see the natural ravine of Goyu Mountain, and he had a feeling of being shocked. Lying on the top edge of the ravine and looking down, it is as if you are standing at the end of the universe, and the magic of nature is breathtaking. The howling sea breeze hissed wantonly in the ravine, and the closer it gets, the more poignant the sound becomes, and the listener is creepy.
"Brother Ji, I'll go down and dig out the eggs, you pick me up here!" Ouwa also climbed over, side by side with Ji Taifeng, and whispered.
"Wait! Where are the bird eggs, where are you going to dig them?" Ji Taifeng said confusedly.
"The bird's nest is on the cliff below, and the eggs are naturally in the nest!" said the gull.
"Let's go down, you are here to sweep the battle for me!" Ji Taifeng was shocked by the fearlessness of the little girl, this ravine was bottomless, the wind was gusting, and he couldn't help but shiver when he saw it.
"Hee-hee, it's fine, but you have to be careful not to wake up the bird. Ouwa handed the animal skin bag to Ji Taifeng and said with a little joy.
The words have been spoken, naturally there is no way to regret it, Ji Taifeng adjusted his breathing, and then climbed down. Fortunately, when he was in the Marine Corps, this kind of rock climbing-like training was also commonplace, and Ji Taifeng couldn't help it. However, he had no knowledge of the terrain, which was the biggest difficulty.
The rift is a scary sight to watch, but when you actually climb it, it's easier than you think, with layers of edges and holes in the cliffs, perfect for climbing. It's just that the light at night is too dim, and the canyon is filled with the mist of sea water, and the hazy vision is blurred.
Suddenly, a fierce gust of wind blew, blowing away a lot of fog, and Ji Taifeng suddenly became agitated, and his feet almost stepped on the air. On both sides of the cliff, huge bats hung one after another, densely packed and motionless, like a group of stone statues.
Is this a peacock?
Ji Taifeng didn't dare to move, for fear of alarming these unknown giant bats. After careful observation, he was shocked again, this big bat is very huge, two claws like two iron pincers, stubbornly picking at the abrupt part of the rock wall, a pair of meat wings curled up on the rock wall to maintain balance, the most special is its beak-like beak-like mouth, sharp and long, like a sharp giant sword.
Isn't this the legendary air overlord pterosaur? Could it be that the hole bird in the mouth of the gull is actually a pterosaur?
Ji Taifeng felt a cold sweat all over his body, not because he was afraid of this bird, but because he suddenly remembered a terrible fact, has this pterosaur been extinct for tens of millions of years? Why did he suddenly appear in this Goyu Mountain? Could it be that the era he is living in now is the ancient era of 10 million years ago?
A series of questions made Ji Taifeng's limbs sore, and he almost collapsed.
Impossible, there were no human beings tens of millions of years ago, it must be that modern society has not found these lost species, Ji Taifeng constantly comforted himself!
After widening his eyes and observing carefully, Ji Taifeng found that all of these holes had their eyes closed, and they were not aware of his existence, just like Ouwa said, it would be fine if they didn't wake them up.
Since the hole bird has appeared, the hole bird nest should be nearby, although there are many doubts in his heart, Ji Taifeng still decided to find the hole bird egg first, and then go back to ask the old patriarch about the hole bird.
The holebird's nest is built in the potholes of the cliff wall, just like the ordinary bird's nest, made of branches and dry grass of varying thicknesses. Ji Taifeng slowly approached the nearest bird's nest, perhaps the bird's nest was too small, the hole bird was too big, and the adult hole bird did not lie in the nest, but hung on the cliff wall on the side like a bat. Of course, maybe that's what they do.
I can't care about that much, Ji Taifeng approached cautiously, very lucky, there are three hole eggs in this bird's nest, the shape is similar to ordinary bird eggs, but the size is very large, about the size of an ostrich egg, and one hand can barely grab it.
Ji Taifeng hadn't stolen anything since he was sensible, even if he stole this wild bird's egg, he felt trembling with nervousness. The trembling hand touched the bird's egg, and a biting coldness came into the palm of his hand. Ji Taifeng was ruthless, grabbed one and stuffed it into the animal skin bag on his waist, and three hole bird eggs just filled the animal skin bag. And the adult hole bird on the side is still unaware.
Ji Taifeng was overjoyed in his heart, and said silently: I'm sorry, Brother Kongniao! Suddenly, a faint blue light flashed under the bird's nest, could it be that there was a bird's egg underneath? Reaching out and digging it out, there was indeed another egg, but strangely, this egg was only the size of a ping-pong ball, and it was perfectly round. Apparently it's not a peacock egg, not even like an egg. The egg flashed with a blue light and vanished.
Ji Taifeng was surprised, but he didn't think much about it, stuffed the blue light egg into his trouser pocket, zipped it up, and then calmly crawled back.
The egg-digging operation went very smoothly, much easier than Ji Taifeng's own estimate, and his nerves, which had been tense, couldn't help but relax.
Ouwa, who had been waiting anxiously above, poked out a small head, obviously she also saw Ji Taifeng crawling back, and shouted excitedly: "Brother Ji, have you succeeded?"
Before Ji Taifeng could answer, suddenly there was a dull rolling sound on the other side of the ravine, and the sound was getting closer and louder.
"Huh-" A huge roar fell from the sky like thunder, and before Ji Taifeng could react, a huge black shadow fell sharply from above, vaguely looking like a giant beast.
The rift valley is very wide, about more than ten zhang away, so the falling black shadow is not dangerous to Ji Taifeng. But the black shadow roared and fluttered around as it fell, clawing violently at the cliff face. It didn't matter if it was a catch, but it woke up all the holebirds perched on the cliff.
"Bang la-la-" The holes on the wall fluttered their wings and flew into the air almost at the same time, densely packed like a black canopy.
Ji Taifeng was shocked, and several holes scurried up against the rock wall, and once they touched him, the huge impact force was enough to knock him off the cliff.
The more dangerous it was, the more Ji Taifeng didn't dare to act rashly, and his whole body was stuck to the rock wall, avoiding the touch of the hole bird as much as possible. The exclamations of the gull baby also kept coming, and the sudden change frightened her.
"Tai Feng, tie the rope around your waist, and I'll pull you up!" Hai Sheng's deep voice came from above, and then a thick tendon rope hung down.
Ji Taifeng was overjoyed, stretched out one hand to grab the rope, wrapped it around his waist several times, and then bit one end of the rope with his teeth, pulled hard, and fastened the rope.
"Haisheng, pull quickly!" Ji Taifeng yelled.
With the help of Haisheng's pull, Ji Taifeng quickly climbed the last ten meters, and the whole person collapsed on the grass like a collapse, the feeling was particularly sour, both a little after the catastrophe, and a little thrilling.
The frightened Ouwa cried and pounced on Ji Taifeng, she was not a cowardly and weak person, but felt that it was because of her that she almost killed Ji Taifeng, and she felt guilty and annoyed.
"Go back and clean you up! Hurry up now, these holes are very dangerous, and none of us can run away if they target us!" Hai Sheng glared at the gull baby viciously, pulled Ji Taifeng and ran wildly in the dense forest in the direction of his residence.
Ji Taifeng looked back as he ran, countless holes hovering in the sky, the huge fleshy wings were several meters wide after spreading, the more he looked, the more he believed in his own judgment, these holes were the legendary pterosaurs. And that black shadow that fell, huge and majestic than an African elephant, what kind of shocking species could it be?
rushed all the way into the eucalyptus forest, and the hole birds generally did not enter the forest, and the three of them were temporarily safe.
Ouwa was still sobbing, Ji Taifeng reached out and rubbed her hair, then untied the animal skin bag, and raised her with a smile. Although there was an unexpected situation, but fortunately, there was no danger, and most importantly, the hole eggs were in hand, so everything was worth it.
Sure enough, when she saw the bird's egg, the gull baby burst into tears and laughed. Then he snatched the bag and opened it to see that there were as many as three, and he couldn't help but cheer softly.
Hai Sheng pinched her ears fiercely, smiled pityingly, and was reluctant to say anything more.
"Haisheng, what did you fall into the rift just now?" Ji Taifeng couldn't help but ask.
"That's Yi Pig, haven't you always praised Yi Pork for its deliciousness?" Hai Sheng said with a smile.
"Is that a pig? such a behemoth?" Ji Taifeng imagined that the pig should be the size of the pig he knew, but he didn't expect it to be bigger than an elephant.
"Fortunately, the Yi pig is huge and fat, so it can provide us with enough food for Gouyu Mountain, otherwise the people in our tribe would have starved to death. By the way, tonight Grandpa has already gathered the elders of the clan to discuss and go to the South Island for the last hunt of the year in three days. "Haisheng didn't go to Ji Taifeng's wooden house tonight, just because he attended the meeting with his grandfather, but he didn't expect Ouwa to take this opportunity to secretly pull Ji Taifeng to dig out the eggs. Fortunately, Haisheng went back and found that Ouwa and Ji Taifeng were nowhere to be seen, and he guessed their whereabouts at once, so he hurried over, otherwise Ji Taifeng would really be more auspicious this time.
"Don't you think it's strange, why did that pig suddenly roll down the valley?" asked Gullwa suddenly.
