Reincarnation Paradise: The Crucible

Deep in the canopy, a bird's nest like a small fortress lies across the connection between the trunk and branches.

The bird's nest occupies a very large area, showing an almost perfect circle. The overall color is grey-brown. It is formed by a large number of branches, vines, grass stems and dead leaves. The bottom is wide and deep, and the upper end is constricted.

The height of the outer wall alone reaches an astonishing two meters, which is slightly higher than Xu Yue. The intertwined walls are even more tightly intertwined, with no gaps leading to the interior exposed. You can see the bird's nest in front of you. The weavers are very skilled.

The top of the bird's nest is also dotted with many green leaves and flowers for decoration, making it not only practical, but also a bit more romantic. It is hard to imagine that such a large and exquisite work of art is made of two birds. It is woven bit by bit with the inflexible sharp beak and claws.

It seems that this mysterious factor can increase small creatures in all aspects, not only physical attributes, but also intelligence.

You can know a leopard by looking at a spot, and you can know autumn by falling a leaf. Just from the birdcage in front of you, you can know that the bird couple who created this product are not only tall, but their intelligence is far beyond the level of normal animals.

"Let's go, move quickly before the master comes back."

Although the outer wall of the tall birdcage could block Xu Yue's sight, it could not block his vibration perception. Before he got close, he had already sensed that there were no birds in the cage, only four round oval objects. This should be the source of the aroma of food that squirrels smell.

After that, one person and one mouse jumped up with all their strength, and they all easily crossed the outer wall and entered the birdcage.

The interior of the birdcage is very clean, and there is no peculiar smell. There is also a thick carpet made of animal hair and soft grass blades at the bottom. It feels particularly comfortable when stepping on it. In the center of the carpet, there are four 30-year-old birds. The giant bird's egg is about 1.5cm tall and is completely green-blue in color with bright luster.

Different from the common white eggs, bird eggs in nature have various colors and complex patterns, and are not limited to one shape. The green-blue color in front of you is not uncommon in the bird family, such as brown-headed crows and purple-winged starlings. , Thrush, Zhigeng, etc. may all be produced.

Xu Yue's knowledge of the wild has not yet reached the level of determining the species of their parents based on their color and appearance alone, but this does not prevent him from packing up all four eggs and taking them away.

This kind of egg that has just been born and has not yet hatched has a high probability of not containing the mysterious factor. The huge size of 30 centimeters is nearly a hundred times the size of an ordinary egg. One egg can meet his food needs for half a day. This is Excellent ingredients.

Without hesitation, the two of them pulled out several canes from the inner wall of the bird's nest beside them, and then wrapped the eggs properly, putting them in groups of two, and Xu Yue and Squirrel each carried them. After doing all this, the group Pick up the egg and run away immediately.

Before leaving, in order to reduce the burden and as a reward, Xu Yue also left the roasted bird legs he made last night in the bird's nest. He could only say that he hoped to come back at some time. Birdbirds will love his craft.

Not long after Xu Yue and others left, a thick branch at the edge of the giant tree suddenly began to twist. A snake head that was almost integrated with the color and texture of the bark was raised. The cold snake eyes opened and stared. He was pointing in the direction where the group of people were leaving, speaking hesitantly.

…………

After leaving the birdcage, Xu Yue and others did not rush on their way. Instead, they first found a tree crown without any living creatures to rest for a while and solve the problem of food and clothing.

After setting off from the tree hole this morning, they fought fiercely against dung beetles and rushed on the road. Both Xu Yue and Ah Fu are now in a state of empty stomachs.

Along the way, Xu Yue also killed several creatures that actively attacked them, but without exception, these creatures contained more or less mysterious factors and were inedible at all. Therefore, most of them were killed by Ah Fu's two puppets. Swallowed by the puppet, now we can only hope that these eggs can be eaten normally by the two of them.

Everything on the mysterious island is extremely huge. At least to an outsider like Xu Yue, it feels like he has strayed into a country belonging to giants. The tree canopy he is currently in is like a green high-rise building.

He found an extremely thick branch in the crown of the tree. He summoned the Thousand Blades of the magic knife and swept across it. The sharp blade extending to more than ten meters long passed by. Large pieces of bark and sawdust suddenly flew out from the surface of the branch. A wide wooden flat immediately formed.

Sitting down on the flat ground, he placed four bird eggs in the center of the flat ground. Looking carefully, Xu Yue discovered that one of these bird eggs was particularly conspicuous. Not only was it slightly larger in size, but it was also green and blue. There are also some imperceptible pattern spots on the surface of the eggshell.

"Cuckoo?"

Although it is not yet known which bird the other three eggs were laid by, Xu Yue is more than 80% sure that this bird egg that looks unique in comparison is a cuckoo egg.

Only this kind of bird will secretly lay its offspring in the nests of other birds, in order to achieve the purpose of occupying the magpie nest.

The cuckoo, or cuckoo, is a bird with very special habits. Although its name is beautiful, its reproduction method is extremely cruel. They will not raise their own offspring, but will disguise their offspring as those of other birds. My child, this is a fool's errand.

Even because the hatching speed of cuckoo chicks is generally fast, soon after birth, it will push the remaining unhatched eggs out of the nest and let them fall from high altitude, using this murderous method to ensure its own survival. Survival rate, this is a creature with cruelty in its blood.

"It seems that we are not just a wave of guests visiting that bird's nest."

While speaking, Xu Yue took out the cuckoo egg, pressed the surface of the eggshell with his palm and shook it slightly. The whole egg began to tremble continuously. The life that was gestating inside died immediately, and the egg white and yolk also quickly mixed into one in the trembling. divide each other.

Then Xu Yue summoned the Earth Tower Shield and rinsed it with clean water. Golden red flames burst out from the palm of his hand, and the entire tower shield was heated. Soon a huge baking pan appeared in front of Xu Yue.

Pick up the cuckoo egg on the side and crack it into pieces. The golden egg liquid gushes out from the crack. It rolls and solidifies on the baking sheet. The rich aroma explodes. After ten seconds, a large plate of simple scrambled eggs is freshly baked.

Xu Yue has finished the work, and Ah Fu has also made a simple set of tableware from cut branches and made preparations for the meal.

……………

Decisively ignoring the description of the item, Xu Yue looked at the effect of the food. Sure enough, the egg liquid that had just 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 is some kind of foreign substance, which has transformed and influenced the organisms on the entire island in some way to form The current mysterious island.

"Gudong."

While thinking, an obvious sound of swallowing saliva sounded in his ears. Xu Yue looked sideways. The sound came from the squirrel squatting next to Ah Fu. At this time, it was staring at the golden scrambled eggs, with a faint trace of saliva between its lips. secretion.

"The eggs are fine and can be eaten."

The specific information on 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. After Xu Yue divided it into two, it was still full of two washbasins. wooden bowl.

Passing the two wooden bowls to Ah Fu and Squirrel in front of him, Xu Yue took out a bird egg to make. Since the bird egg can be eaten normally, the food source on the mysterious island is still sufficient. The number of birds he saw was more than enough to last him at least ten days.

Ten minutes later, after the group had eaten and drank enough, and packed up their belongings, especially after properly fixing the two remaining eggs on both sides of the squirrel, they set off again towards the water source.

According to Ah Fu's translation, we should be very close to our destination now, but the closer we get to the water source, the denser the distribution of dangerous creatures, so the squirrels choose to live in the more remote big tree.

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

A fine tingling sensation suddenly spread throughout the body, and the beast's intuition warned wildly. Xu Yue lowered his eyes and saw that a bloody mouth had opened under him. A snake kiss several meters long was like a terrifying abyss of flesh and blood, with sharp edges on both sides. The snake teeth flashed with a faint green light, and the pungent fishy smell hit his face. At the same time, there was a strange suction force that surged out from the bottom of the abyss, wrapping Xu Yue's entire body and dragging him downwards. .

In this lush forest, fatal threats always come suddenly and inadvertently. The snake kiss below is about to come. Xu Yue's eyes condensed, and his skin turned into silver in an instant, and a pair of flaming wings quickly spread out on his back.

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

[You are affected by the effect of ‘Dizziness and Snake Crying’, and your constitution is being determined...]

[If the judgment fails, you will be forced to be stunned for 2 seconds. Due to the resistance of the hunter's will attribute, the stun time will be changed to 0.4 seconds. 】

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

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