Chapter 5: The Eternal Sleeping Battleship(1/2)
The Qihai Traveler quietly stopped between the fjords, with towering cliffs on both sides, like two silent and loyal guards standing silently among the clouds and mists.
Fang Yu took a sip of the cold liquid in the flat pot, looked at the silver sail standing in the clouds and squinted his eyes.
Regardless of Tianlan, Ai Xiaoxiao and the ladies' opposition, Luo Hao and the others still hung up the bloody arrow-tailed turtle head.
According to Baggins, this is the tradition of hunters, and the Scandinavian sailors will also hang the largest and most hideous Akira monsters they have captured, just like displaying spoils.
Scana was south of the coast of Treasure Staff, and Silvede smiled and thought that the sailors there did it just to show the goods to the merchants, and it had nothing to do with showing courage or something.
But the experienced sailor obviously cannot agree with his eldest lady's statement.
However, what is really valuable about the arrowtail turtle is its corpse. Nearly two and a half tons of meat and bones, although the meat of predators is mostly not delicious, it will leave at least about half of the reserved food after being air-dried. Moreover, after being cooked sour and added seasonings, any ingredients can show magic in Miss Aitela's hands. At least there will be a hot broth today, which can be expected.
There is also a body of iron feathers, whose market price is not much different from that of the long feathers of the dragon feather emu, but the output is not on the same order of magnitude. There are at least hundreds of feathers available at the tail of this arrow, which is a 100,000-level spoil. Although the Seven Seas Brigade is not short of money at the moment, no one will think that the money is too much, right?
Fang Zhu is even a bit of a pity.
Hunting such large sky-sea raptors is hard to come by. They defeated the arrowheads and had a lucky chance in the box.
Otherwise, the arrow-tailed turtle would not be able to beat them, and it would be easy to escape calmly in such an environment.
Moreover, this kind of revenge creature will most likely harass you in the next few days. Except for the three- and four-masted ships, small boats like the Qihai Traveler are still easily threatened by arrow-tailed gusts. Therefore, people who are generally seeking a life in the Kūkai Sea will try their best to avoid conflicts with large creatures of this level.
Later, even though the big bird landed on the ground, they still took a lot of effort to subdue it - Luo Yu almost consumed all his mana and the elemental crystals he had reserved in advance, and also used several valuable wind crystals.
Fang Zhu shook the kettle and felt his body warm. The flat pot was actually filled with water mixed with wine. The fjord was filled with fog and it was so cold that it was so cold that the sailor told him that this method could make it feel less uncomfortable, and the proportion of alcohol was not high, so it would hardly make people drunk.
After a while, the box and Luo Yu came over. Baggins told them that most of the arrow-tailed turtles living here had never seen humans, and their behavior of dodging firearms seemed a bit concerning. Since they speculated that the nest of the big bird was nearby, they planned to explore it.
Find a water source by the way.
They were divided into two groups, and the remaining people were to stay and repair the Qihai Traveler number. Box and Luo Yu were with him. Fang Yu looked at the two and asked, "Are you ready, are you carrying the tent?"
If you go deep into the inland adventure, you are still not sure how far the water source is here. You may encounter situations where you cannot come back. Camping tools are a must.
Both of them nodded.
Fang Zhu looked at the other side of the boat again and found that Tang Xin was dazed on the shore. He thought for a while and shouted: "Tangtang, do you want to be with us?"
Tang Xin is actually collecting the sacred ether.
When she heard her cousin calling herself, she turned around and looked here, and was about to refuse, but Ai Xiaoxiao was already lit up her head as if a chicken was pecking at rice, "Okay, okay!"
Tang Xin slapped her best friend in the back of the head, but eventually nodded.
She put away the magic wand and walked over, looked at her cousin, and could tell that the other party was in a good mood. She was actually very happy about the Qihai Traveler's account in secret.
Of course, it's still cold on the surface.
Fang Rong looked at her cousin with a cold temperament and suddenly felt a little regretful. The crying man was so cold that he couldn't stand it recently.
But the next moment, Tang Xin asked softly: "Brother, what do Xiaoxiao and I need to prepare?"
Fang Yuxi then breathed a sigh of relief and shook his head. "We brought enough tents, just live with Ai Xiaoxiao."
Tang Xin nodded.
There is a goat intestine path on one side of the canyon leading to the cliff, which they discovered after checking the harbor after docking.
The group walked up the trail, holding a compass in the leather gloves, trying to determine the position.
He released a few clockwork fairies, but in such a foggy environment, it did not play a big role. He could only determine the approximate direction of the Qihai Traveler when the battle occurred before.
After a while, two silver lights flew back in the fog. Fang Zhu took back the clockwork fairy and found two roads north and west, but he felt that the Qihai Traveler had probably fought in the north before, so he asked the others about his opinion.
Others also agreed.
The road to the north became more and more rugged, like the power of nature carved out from the cliff, but only allowed two people to walk in parallel and through the canyons surrounded by clouds.
From the sea of the sky, the foggy fjord was dead silent and lifeless. But when I arrived at the bottom of the canyon, I found that there were actually some vegetation here.
Mainly mushrooms, with glowing spores growing on the cliffs, and a kind of goat-tooth plant, which absorbs enough wind elements. Among the opened feathered leaves, the red whiskers actually float in the air and emit fluorescent light.
Fang Zhu also observed the lower ecology here, a white worm entering and exiting the rock formation soil and feeding on glowing moss lichens.
But after eating too much, they will shine because of the accumulation of ether, thus becoming the eye-catching targets of predators in this foggy world.
The predators on the upper layer are mostly small creatures such as lizards, as well as fish living in the sea of fog.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! Fang Zhu saw a fish floating in the mist, covered with spiny fins like a balloon, living by swallowing these worms.
With low-level fish, there must be predatory fish, and large fish exist, so it is understandable that arrow-tailed turtles are built here.
However, this also means danger. Fang Yu secretly raised his vigilance while taking pictures of what he saw.
The few were a little silent, with only the rustling footsteps left between the canyons. The fog filled with water in the sky made the cliffs wet and slippery, and everyone had to pay some attention to prevent themselves or their companions from slipping.
The box is probably cool. Luo Yu is born to be disliked, and Tang Xin doesn't like to speak too much in front of a stranger. Ai Xiaoxiao is only asking this and that along the way.
However, this little girl probably learned from the previous scene, her voice was small, like a whisper.
"Cousin Ed, I've upgraded."
"How do you add some archers?"
“No need to add some.”
"Ah? Then how do you play this game?"
“This is not a game.”
"Shooters generally have two major directions: melee and long-range, and long-range move towards rangers and dragon hunters, while melee are Lin Wei or war dancers."
“So complicated.”
"Actually, I have upgraded too," Tang Xin said softly. But of course she didn't need Fang Yu to suggest the route. Because of Fang Yu, she only knows much more and more about this world.
"The experience of the arrow-tailed turtle is much higher than that of an average level 27 creature." Luo Yu also said at this time.
"That may be an elite individual," Fang Yu replied, "the general arrow-tailed turtle is not that big."
"You mean it may have some special experience?"
Fang Yu nodded, which was exactly why he and Baggins cared about it.
If the arrow-tailed turtle recognizes the firearm, it should have seen humans.
But the chance of human beings appearing here is too low, and he has to figure out whether this is a coincidence or another reason.
If humans appear nearby, clues should be found in the nest of the arrowtail.
Square leopards are very familiar with the Ark Sea creatures. Birds like to build nests on cliffs, especially those who like to use old caves. In fact, they found the cave not long after walking north.
The cave was located at the other end of the canyon, looming in the mist. Fang Zhu saw the scratches left on the rocks by the arrow-tailed turtle, and realized that they had found the right place.
He visually measured the distance, then raised his left hand, fired his claw hook, and flew over. Although his right hand had recovered, it would take at least several months to use it as usual.
Fang Zhu took out a pulley set and nailed it into the top of the hole, then passed through a set of ropes, put it on the flying claws and flew back again, making a temporary cable.
He rolled one end of the cable into the miniature hoist in the glove, and pulled up Ai Xiaoxiao, Tang Xin, Luo Yu and the boxes below one by one.
The caves used as nests by arrow tails are deep and long. Although these birds of prey are almost isolated outside the mating period, it is difficult to guarantee that nothing will happen.
The Orphen Gemini could not be summoned in the narrow space, and he only used a sword-holder to block the front. After the battle at the Sand Sea, he was so embarrassed that he could not even take out a powerful angel.
This is also the reason why he called Luo Yu and others up. If the combat power is complete, I would be confident in exploring this place alone.
At least it is enough to ensure a break.
There is a faint smell in the cave. The bones of animals can be seen occasionally on the ground. From the appearance, they should be mostly fish.
They even found a rock shark's incomplete bones, but unfortunately their horns were destroyed, but Luo Yu still cut it off with a knife.
Halfway through, Fang Zhu suddenly heard a chirping sound from inside, and the few people were stunned.
This is not the domineering eagle cry of the arrow-tailed turtle. But Fang Zhu quickly reacted, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
The nest may be the cubs with arrow-tailed turtles.
He speeded up and turned a stone wall, and the inside of the cave appeared in front of him.
The cave was covered with thick moss clothes to keep it warm. In the middle of the moss clothes, there were small arrow-tailed buzzards with three hairs that had not yet grown. They stretched their necks and chirped at the strange intruders.
Fang Zhu looked at the cubs and couldn't help but feel a pity, "They have hatched for a long time. After seeing the female birds, it's hard for us to raise them."
"Ah!?" Ai Xiaoxiao was startled, "Cousin Ed, you won't want to kill them."
"Just leave them," Fang Zhu shook his head, "Without female birds, they can't grow big."
"Can't we raise them?" Ai Xiaoxiao looked at the fists, shrinking into a ball of chicks, and suddenly felt soft.
"They recognize that they are not food sent by female birds, and they will not eat it." Fang Zhu shook his head. He was very familiar with these Akkaku creatures, half from the community and half from books.
Humans have studied Aitalia for nearly a century, and of course it is not in vain.
Ai Xiaoxiao was silent for a moment, looking a little sad. She thought for a while and turned around and said to Tang Xin with a glutinous voice: "Tangtang, think of a solution quickly. Isn't you the best way?"
Tang Xin was speechless, thinking that this little girl had used herself as a knowledgeable person, but it was a pity that she looked at the chicks.
Raptors like giant eagles and bipedal pterodactyls are like giant eagles and bipedal pterodactyls. Naturally, some people train them to fly mounts.
Moreover, the Giant Eagle Level 17 and the Bipedal Pterodactyl Level 25 are not opponents of the Arrow-tailed Gauze. The Arrow-tailed Gauze cubs are rare on the market and are naturally more valuable.
She thought silently and actually thought of a solution. "Isn't Miss Atira a druid?" she suddenly said, "Maybe she will have a solution?"
