Chronicles of Primordial Wars

Chapter 718 Dead Leaf Birds

When Shao Xuan arrived, he was seeing a group of people surrounded there, all concentrated under the mountain where they lived, did not go up the mountain, the area below the mountain was a bit more spacious, and the birds brought back needed further treatment, too noisy to take to the mountain.

Before approaching Shao Xuan, he heard all kinds of birds. The iconic feather costume of the feather tribesmen can be seen from afar.

Many feathered tribesmen hold large and small bird cages, woven with canes or grass rods. Different bird species use different cages, and the shape of bird cages varies.

Flaming Horn Man This is the first time I've seen so many figured bird cages.

It has to be admitted that the feather tribesmen seem to care extra about the shape, the knitted birdcage is decorative and grumpy.

“Are you all back?” Shao Xuan asked a warrior over there who was looking inside his neck.

The man looked back at Shao Xuan and hurried, “Yes, they all came back, but the big boss brought back all the bird eggs, unlike those of the feather tribe, except the bird eggs also brought back adult birds. ”

Just bring back the eggs? Are you going to hatch yourself?

Because when I saw Shao Xuan come, the crowd there made way.

Shao Xuan saw that the people of the Yu tribe were showing the birds they had captured. Some of them were simply released. They should have begun to domesticate, and most of them were only shown across the cage.

The birds captured by the feather tribe are basically beautiful feathers, either gorgeous tail feathers, or strange crown feathers, or other parts of the body with distinctive feathers.

As soon as he saw the birds captured by the Yu tribe, Shao Xuan feared that they would recommend the tower as a stubborn bird species. Although he had said before that he did not want appearance, he wanted only pragmatism, but no one could guarantee it until he saw the results.

Not much to see the birds brought back by the feather tribe, Shao Xuan went straight to the tower.

They were already there, standing there listening to the tower.

“The people of the Feather tribe say that the dead leaf birds are most active during the day and night, especially at dawn and dusk. The night is a little longer than the day. I think we mainly need some protection at night. After all, there are not many people and the night limits are huge, so if possible, try domesticating these dead leaf birds. ”

The tower held a beast leather roll. Shao Xuan went over and looked at it. There was a painting on it, which should have been painted by the people of the feather tribe. Although the painting was still abstract, the main features were painted out and can be seen at a glance.

Seeing Shao Xuan come over, the tower directly handed over the animal skin roll in his hand to let Shao Xuan take a good look. After all, Shao Xuan is only one of the main decision-makers.

“Why call it Dead Leaf Bird?” Shao Xuan asked. The name must have been given by the wings tribe.

“They say the bird looks like a pile of dead leaves, and when it hatches, it buries the eggs in the dead leaves.” The tower doesn't remember the original words of the Yu tribesmen, so it just said it in general.

Although incomplete, Shao Xuan also understood.

Overall, the dead leaf birds were given this name by the feather tribesmen because of their fur color and the way they hatched.

Dead leaf birds hatch less frequently than other birds and are closer to reptiles. They bury bird eggs in bags that have already been prepared, with dead leaves, which produce heat when they rot and ferment, and dead leaf birds use that fermentation heat to hatch bird eggs.

It adapts to this method, and the hatching rate is still high, at least the bird is not too silly, which is a little satisfying in the hearts of the flaming horns. Just don't be silly, they look ugly at all.

Shao Xuan looked at the painting on the animal's skin roll again. He painted a few rounds of concentric pattern around the bird's eyes. It looked like a radar, and he said, "What's the length on his head?” Stand up like an antenna.

The dead leaf bird in the picture has a thin long hair on its head that exceeds one-half the length of its body.

“Oh, this is the crown feather of a dead leaf bird, and the crown feathers are not visible to the people of the feather tribe, so they have not been reared, except hundreds of years ago. They said, however, that the birds were vigilant and that when they perceived danger, the crown feathers on their heads would rise. Moreover, there are many different sounds of dead leaf birds, and in different situations, they can be easily distinguished and not suitable for long-range flights, basically moving only in one place, without worrying about their departure. So the feather tribe people suggested that we raise dead leafbirds, and I thought we could try it first. ”

Ta explained once again what the Yu tribesmen had said. He was not so easily ignored by the Yu tribesmen, but it was the reason given by the Yu tribesmen, and he agreed.

“Why don't the Yu tribesmen feed themselves? Is it really just because it doesn't look good?” Someone asked.

“Nor is it.” The tower continues to explain, "the people of the Feather Tribe say that the Dead Leaf Birds are noisy, not that they themselves are noisy, but that they tend to quarrel with other birds, so once they start, the Feather Tribes get into a quarrel. ”

The feather tribe has so many birds. Imagine how those birds wake up...

“Aren't there other birds in our tribe? The ducks will hardly leave the lake area now. If we were to domesticate dead leafbirds, we would be fine. ”

“Sure you can try, by the way, how old can a dead leaf bird be?” Shao Xuan asked.

“Not much, that's all.” The tower raised its hand a little bit, probably only two palms long, but not as good as those ducks.

However, it is said that many of the dead leaf birds are clustered, and the tower brings back forty or fifty eggs, even if the final incubation rate is only half enough. You can try it first.

It's a pity that it's not big enough to be able to carry people naturally, but if the dead leaf birds are what the feather tribesmen say, they can satisfy everyone. It is hoped that when there are fewer people, they will play a role.

“I made a deal with the Yu tribe people to leave a few people to help hatch the eggs. After all, they have experience. I heard that even after burying the eggs in the dust bag, they will have to look after them every day. It will always be better to give them to them. ”

In fact, these eggs were all dug out of a bundle of dead leaves, not all from the same bundle, but five to ten of each of several bundles. Had it not been for the feather tribe's own skill to protect them, perhaps none of these bird eggs that were dug up and brought back would have hatched.

“They say it's going to hatch in about ten days. ”

Since hatching requires people from the feather tribe to watch, the people from the feather tribe over there also need a few days to stay here and observe the adaptation of the birds caught, so they haven't left yet.

Feather tribesmen left after more than 40 dead leaf bird eggs hatched.

The chicks of dead leaf birds belong to early adult birds, shells can walk to feed themselves, saving a lot of things, which is one of the reasons why the tower decided to choose dead leaf birds.

People with extensive breeding experience were picked from the beast rings to look after these freshly shelled dead leaf birds, because the breeder was seen after they broke the shell and saw it most often, and fed them, so the birds were very dependent on the breeder and sometimes lined up to follow the breeder.

As Shao Xuan went, he was seeing the forty-two taupe-brown hairy dough following the breeder to the trough. Probably a short shell time, and although it can walk, it can't fly easily.

“Why doesn't it look spiritual?” Shao Xuan asked. All the chicks had half-opened eyes and walked like they weren't awake.

The breeder laughed and explained, “No, they're usually like that, but they're more spiritual when they eat. ”

Sure enough, as soon as I got to the sink, the seemingly sleepless chicks started competing for me.

Seeing these birds grow so spiritually from the fragile appearance of the broken shell, the breeder is still proud, the bird food is also taught by the feather tribe, it is true that these dead leaf birds grow well.

But the breeder wasn't happy for two days, and the chicks dumped him.

The reason was that the dragon was idle and threw half a fish into the bird pile. At first, the breeder was worried that the birds would not get used to it. Not only that, but the dead leaf birds were quite resilient. Later, the dragon threw some small beasts, and each time it threw food, it looked down on the side.

Later, the chicks were closer to the dragon than they were to the breeder.

However, when people in the tribe see that the dead leaf birds are not sick, they are more active, and they don't care, even think that if the dead leaf birds can follow the wing dragon to learn some instructions, after all, the trainers' skills, the feather tribe people won't teach them, they have to think for themselves, but deviate, these dead leaf birds are not suitable for engraving.

So, the Horn thinks, just take your time, and when these dead leaf birds grow up, you may be able to understand some of the instructions.

However, Shao Xuan felt that the winged dragon was doing this, and seemed to have other thoughts.

The reason that the Wing Dragon was so bold lately is because Shao Xuan didn't have time to stare at it all day lately, because the artificial river channel, over the Yanhe trading area, is almost finished. The bridge that needs to be built has also been built, and Xuanluo recently discussed the gate with him.

They set up two water gates at the two intersections of the river with the flaming river, mainly blocking dangerous fish or river beasts along the river.

The completion of the artificial channel means that upstream and downstream will not be cut off by the blockage of the Flame River Bridge. The ship can bypass the stone bridge through the artificial channel, except that it must pass under the eyelids of the flame corner, and it is impossible to bypass the ears and eyes of the flame corner.
