Chapter 203: The Giant Monster Birds During the Breeding Season
Link was lucky and slept very soundly on his first night in the Ruins Plain. Although it was a bit troublesome to get up to keep watch in the second half of the night, he lit a campfire and read a book for a while.
He bought the book in the bookstore last time. The New World Monster Atlas records a lot of useful hunting tips, and he benefited a lot from it.
“Yes, although the big tongue of the poisonous bird is poisonous, it tastes very good and is the best choice for hot pot and barbecue.
The dragon head meat under the hard head shell of the sand dragon is very soft and suitable for making soup.
The fat belly of the Rockthief Dragon is the best material for pan-fried dumplings..."
Holding a book, reflecting the firelight, sitting by the campfire in the camp, accompanied by the chirping of insects at night, Link wiped the tears flowing from the corners of his mouth.
The illustrated book not only records the methods of hunting monsters, but also records many recipes for monsters from the New World.
Although he couldn't go to the New World in the short term, the Old World was home to many monsters of the same kind as those in the New World, and if Link wanted, he could go hunt them.
Earth Sand Dragon, Dragon Slasher, Black Wolf Bird, Ice Fang Dragon, Horned Dragon, Broken Dragon, Golden Lion, Fire Dragon Family...
There are many overlaps in the types of monsters between the New and Old Continents. Some monsters even migrated from the Old Continent. This is not surprising.
"I heard that the ley lines in the New World are very active and the monsters are stronger than those in the Old World. I wonder if that's true."
Link looked up at the faint light in the distance and closed the book in his hands.
It was almost dawn and he should prepare breakfast.
We had honey-baked fish last night, and Link wanted something light this morning, so he made a pot of fish soup.
After making breakfast, it was already bright outside. Link entered the tent and woke up Chuchu who was still sleeping like an old mother.
Then eat.
"Hoo, let's go and hunt the giant monster bird."
After eating, Link put on his beloved Meteorite Cannon, looked up at the towering mountain in front of him, and decided to climb to the top of the mountain to take a look.
Find a high point to find the nests of the giant birds.
Link took a step forward and began his climbing journey.
The mountains in the Ruins Plain are steep and the rock walls are precipitous. If you are not careful, you will fall down and die.
Fortunately, Link is agile, and with the help of his grappling hook and Kinsect, as well as the assistance of vines, climbing the mountain is not difficult for him.
He was like a nimble mountain cat, jumping lightly on the rock wall, looking for the best climbing path.
For Chuchu, this kind of terrain is basically not difficult. Although the Felynx are small, their claws are extremely sharp and can easily insert into the rock wall to create a foothold for themselves.
The man and the cat climbed very smoothly, but they needed to be careful to avoid some monsters' nests.
"There are so many strange monkeys and foxes here."
Link and Chuchu hid in the crevice of the cliff and observed their surroundings carefully.
The nest of the strange monkey fox is built on the steep cliff to avoid attacks from ground predators.
The long claws on their hands and the tail hooks on their tails are natural climbing tools that help them move on the cliffs as if they were walking on flat ground, forcing Link to avoid them.
Fighting with the strange monkey fox in such a place would be too disadvantageous for a long-range hunter like him.
If you accidentally fall off the cliff, you might end up dead.
Of course, it is also possible that you survive a disaster and encounter some adventure or something.
Link carefully observed the actions of the foxes and found the right moment. With the help of vines and hooks, he successfully avoided the foxes' nest and reached the halfway point.
On the mountainside, the terrain is very peculiar, with cliffs one level after another, like the stairs of the giant kingdom, forming this strange scene.
And Link also found his goal here.
A shield bug crawling around on the ground.
Wherever there are shield insects, there must be the nest of a big monster bird.
This golden insect, which curls up into a ball when in danger, is the favorite food of the giant bird.
Therefore, they usually build their nests in areas infested by shield insects.
"Quack, quack, quack."
Speak of the devil, here he appears. While Link was still wondering where the giant bird was, an early-awakened giant bird swooped down from the sky, flapping its wings and swallowing the shield insect on the ground into its mouth.
"...The early bird catches the worm, and the early worm is caught by the bird. The ancients were right."
Watching the big monster bird open its sharp beak and swallow the shield worm, which was about the size of a basketball, into its mouth, Link moved his feet slightly and moved behind a rock with Chuchu.
Just as Link dodged, he saw several large strange birds flying out from the top of the cliff, including two green strange birds.
"Sure enough, now is the breeding season for the big monster birds."
As early as when he received the task, Link knew that this business was not easy to do.
During the breeding season, the giant birds are gregarious creatures. They will gather together to court, then mate, and finally lay several fertilized eggs to end the mating process.
If anyone dares to disturb them at this time, they will attack in groups.
Even the flying dragon had to go around the giant monster birds working together.
"Tsk tsk tsk, it's my first time watching a bird movie, and I have mixed feelings."
Looking at the huge strange birds rubbing their ears and embracing each other happily, Link shook his head slightly and did not disturb them.
"Let's go up the mountain. Judging from their appearance, it may take a while to finish. Let's go to the top of the mountain and take a look. The scenery here is pretty good."
Although the big strange bird was found, the timing was not right and it was not a good time to hunt.
Link took Chuchu and quietly continued to climb up from the other side of the cliff.
The sky over the Ruins Plain was not peaceful. There were huge strange birds on the mountainside and flying dragons living on the top of the mountain. Link could see one or two fire dragons flying through the air from time to time.
There is even a scene where a fire dragon and an electric dragon fight.
The electric dragon here is the real electric dragon Lezex.
Its body is covered with olive-green scales, its shell has spikes, and its head has a longitudinal fan-shaped crest, which, from a modern perspective, looks a bit like a Mohawk hairstyle.
The body length of an electric dragon is not much different from that of a normal flying dragon, with an adult individual ranging from seventeen to twenty meters.
The battle between the Fire Dragon and the Electric Dragon did not last long. The Electric Dragon won the fight and the Fire Dragon was defeated in humiliation.
The electric shock of the electric dragon has a paralyzing effect, which will cause the fire dragon's muscles to spasm and lose air superiority. In addition, the fire dragon is weak to electricity. Therefore, under normal circumstances, the fire dragon is usually no match for the electric dragon.
It's quite embarrassing that the king of the sky lost to other flying dragons in an aerial battle.
Link and ChuChu Cat watched a pleasing battle on the cliff, then continued to climb upwards and finally reached the top of the mountain.
The scenery at the top of the mountain is great, the lighting is excellent, and looking down, you can see many landscapes you have never seen before.
Link pulled out a bottle of clairvoyance potion from his bag and drank it.
This potion can temporarily improve the hunter's vision and is one of the potions that many hunters carry when they go out.
Link blinked after drinking the potion. As the effect of the potion took effect, he could even see the scenery in the ravine clearly.
The Ruins Plain is roughly divided into five areas.
A valley fissure below the elevation line.
There live a large number of beetles and a small number of foxes. The two often fight for territory, and the foxes usually have the upper hand.
But above the beetles is the queen, the heavy beetle, who commands them.
Under the leadership of the heavy beetle, the battle between the strange monkey fox and the thorough beetle was a mixed bag.
In addition to the valleys, there are also plains on the horizon.
This is a relatively peaceful place where many herbivores live.
And forest areas that are at the same altitude as the plains but are covered with dense vegetation.
It is a paradise for strange monkeys and foxes, mixed with groups of dog dragons, including dog dragons and jumping dog dragons.
Unlike the dog dragons, the jumping dog dragons are covered with forgiveness-colored shells and have well-developed muscles in their tails, like springs, making their jumping attacks extremely amazing.
