Chapter 1346 The Rhythm of Getting
Rich Leyun quickly removed the ointment that covered her eyes, climbed up to a sitting position when she could see, fetched water, cleaned the residue of the medicine stuck to the eye sockets and eyelids, cleaned the eye medicine, and then checked Fortunately for me, the internal injuries and bone cracks have healed.
The advantage of having a strong recovery ability is that you recover quickly from injuries. Even if you suffer internal injuries, you can still be alive and kicking after lying dead for a day or two.
Xiao Le, who was proud of his ability to recover, jumped up and down, feeling no side effects and full of energy. He didn't want to waste time recalling the feeling of being injured before, so he handed over the task of taking care of the space to the little fox and Little Huihui, hurry back to nature.
It was quiet inside the talisman array, and outside the talisman array there were birds chirping and flowers fragrant.
After observing the talisman array for a while, Le Yun removed the talisman array and put the trees damaged by the Iron-backed Rhinoceros into the space. First, she went to the nearby river to take out the Iron-backed Rhinoceros' carapace and wash it. The time for dissection was too tight. There was no time to clean the iron-backed rhino’s skin.
After scrubbing the mud off the Iron-backed Rhinoceros' leather armor, she took a bath herself, washed the clothes stained by the mud thrown by the Iron-backed Rhinoceros in the past two days, and put them in a place to dry.
Her hair was not dry yet, so Le Yun did not wait for it to dry naturally, nor did she collect plants. She threw her flying sword and flew towards the direction from which the rhinoceros came.
Rhinoceros are very stupid and naive animals, and usually do not actively provoke other animals. She and Jin Maohou had not sensed the existence of the iron-backed rhinoceros before, and she would not run away if she sensed a demon-level monster. If provoked, take the initiative to retreat.
She didn't even know that there was a demon-god-level iron-backed rhinoceros nearby, let alone stimulate it. It came out to attack them out of nowhere, and it was still in a furious state, which was obviously not normal.
Classmate Le felt that it was necessary to find out the reason for the Iron-backed Rhino's anger. He followed the smell of mud on the Iron-backed Rhinoceros' armor and flew in one direction. He flew over a thin forest and a forest, and flew about 120 miles to a swamp.
The swamp is very wide, with small hills in some places. The aquatic plants in the swamp are luxuriant and there are patches of reeds.
The season is around mid-May in summer, when plants are luxuriant, many plants are blooming, and the swamp areas are also colorful.
Le Yun, who was flying her sword in the air, didn't find anything strange in the swamp. She tied up her hair that had been dried by the wind before walking slowly.
There are many fish and birds in the swamp, all of which are low-level beasts or first- and second-level monsters. Because they are too weak, they can live in harmony with the iron-backed rhinoceros.
After searching for a while, Le Yun finally found the place where the iron-backed rhinoceros had stayed. The ponds in some higher areas of the swamp had dried up, and the ground was covered with green plants. There was a big pit in a puddle among the green. The silt is still fresh.
The iron-backed rhinoceros should have been sleeping in the mud before, and it should have been a cultivation-style sleeping method that lasted for years or decades. I don't know what caused it to wake up.
Demonic beasts at the level of demon gods have a very wide territory. Rhinoceros live in places with abundant water sources and have certain restrictions on their range of activities. They rarely go to grab the territory of other demonic beasts. They are the most docile and easy to get along with among the demonic beasts.
The territory of a demon-god-level iron-backed rhinoceros is generally four to five thousand miles to ten thousand miles wide.
Although she felt that being attacked by the iron-backed rhinoceros was an unreasonable disaster, Le Yun also expressed her understanding. She and Golden Retriever were only a hundred miles away from the place where he slept. It is likely that the iron-backed rhinoceros felt that its territory was being violated and became angry.
In Dongchen Continent, big fists are the rule. Don't try to communicate with monsters. It is basically useless. Unless you are very lucky and encounter a silly, sweet, herbivorous monster, communication may be effective. With monsters like tigers and bears, communicating with them is a waste of time, or you are doing stupid things to anger them.
Therefore, Golden Retriever and Little Loli never thought of communicating when they were attacked by the iron-backed rhinoceros. Communicating with a rhinoceros monster that was in a state of rage would only make its anger soar.
After finding the place where the iron-backed rhinoceros slept, it was speculated that it should be sleeping in seclusion. It had been sleeping for at least thirty years and would hardly wake up. Le Yun couldn't figure out why it suddenly woke up from seclusion to cause trouble.
After studying for a while, she flew to the swamp, dug up dozens of aquatic plants, and then flew to the aura-filled mountains not far from the swamp. The aura in a certain place was very strong, and that was why she and Golden Retriever walked to the Iron-backed Rhinoceros. Perching direction.
The iron-backed rhinoceros is a herbivorous animal, and spiritual plants are its food. The medicinal plants nearby are not very old, only the roots of the perennial plants are longer.
Student Le flew nearly a hundred miles, crossed the swamp, and went around two small hills to find the most spiritual mountain. The mountain was more than 30,000 feet above sea level. There was a huge cave about a thousand feet away from the foot of the mountain. The spiritual energy came from the cave. Flowing out.
There are ferocious monsters like the iron-backed rhinoceros, there are no high-level monsters nearby, and there are no guardian monsters near the cave, so it is very safe.
After reconnaissance and consideration of the scene, I flew with my sword. I was still far away from the cave. I saw swallows flying in and out of the cave, murmuring and singing songs as they went to look for food or came back from looking for food.
"It feels like the rhythm is getting more developed." Seeing the group of swallows that were only as big as a finger from a distance, Le Yun couldn't help but chuckle. The smell in the air showed that there were golden bird's nests in the nearby area. Swallows came and went in the cave, so the cave was golden. The habitat of the swiftlets.
There are countless spiritual plants in her purse, but there are no bird's nests. It's not that there are no bird's nests in Dongchen Continent, but the Immortal Sect of Dongchen Continent is not interested in bird's nests that are not as spiritual as the spiritual plants produced in Lingtian, and no one collects them. That kind of thing.
The Dongchen Continent is rich in spiritual energy. Swallows breathe the spiritual air and eat spiritual food. Bird's nests are naturally more precious.
In a good mood, Le Yun rushed forward with her flying sword, getting closer and closer to the cave, and the silhouette of the swallow became clearer and clearer. Living in the cave was a kind of swiftlet that did not exist on the earth - the golden-rumped swiftlet. , the difference between it and the gray-rumped white-rumped swiftlet is that there is a circle of golden feathers on its back near the waist and tail.
The animals in Dongchen Continent are larger than those on Earth, and the same is true for swallows. Golden swiftlets are two or three times larger than swallows on Earth, with smooth body lines, light body, strong and agile.
Most of the swallows in the cave are larger than ordinary swallows. The smallest swallows are as big as an adult's fist when they pluck out their hair.
Looking closely, Le Yun also confirmed her guess - some of the golden-rumped swiftlets have evolved and been promoted to first- and second-level spiritual beasts.
The nests of the spiritual animal swiftlet are even more precious and rare.
Le Yun was pleasantly surprised and rushed to the cave. The cave was nearly a hundred meters high. A stream flowed out from one side of the cave. The aura of the water was as rich as the aura of the spiritual spring of Yulan Yuheng Sect.
Observe that there are no ferocious beasts in the cave, and rush forward with your sword. The cave is in the shape of an arch, high on the outside and low on the inside, with a sense of hierarchy.
The swiftlets came and went, paying no attention to the sudden appearance of humans.
Less than twenty meters into the cave, there is a place where swiftlets live. The walls of the cave are covered with bird's nests.
Swiftlets build nests with saliva or saliva mixed with down feathers and other materials, and the nest is a bird's nest.
Swiftlets must build a nest every time they lay eggs. If the nest they built for the first time is still there, they will build another layer on top of the old nest instead of laying eggs in the old building. They will hatch about three times a year.
When swiftlets build their nests for the first time, they have the most abundant saliva. The nests are usually pure white, called white bird's nests, and are of the best quality. When they build their nests for the second or third time, if there is insufficient saliva, the mixed down feathers increase and are called feathers. Bird's nest; sometimes the saliva is yellowish-brown or darker in color, also known as blood bird's nest.
Le Yun observed the bird's nests on the cave wall and found that there were bird's nests of various colors, some were pure white, some were tawny, some were gray, and some were black.
Black bird's nests are very old bird's nests, which have been abandoned for a long time and have no nutritional value. Gray bird's nests have too much fluff.
There are also some bird's nests stacked several times, like a string of bird's nests strung together. In some places, the bird's nests are crowded together, and the new nests are tightly adhered to the old ones.
It is the season when swiftlets are raising their offspring. There are many baby swiftlets in the nests. Their feathers are all or almost full. Whenever a parent flies back, the baby swiftlets open their mouths and wait for feeding.
There are more than 200,000 swiftlets living in the cave, and there are at least 70,000 to 80,000 pairs of swallows nurturing their offspring. The sounds of young swallows begging for food come and go, like waves.
The sound of the swiftlets echoed in the cave, making the cave feel like a battlefield.
Le Yun thought it was nothing at first, but as she walked further in, the sounds became denser. After walking less than two miles, her head hurt. She initially estimated that there were 200,000 swiftlets, but she actually guessed wrong!
Judging from the nests on the cave wall and the immobile flocks of swallows, there are at least 600,000 of them. Such a huge flock of swiftlets can cover a whole sky when they fly out.
Keep walking inside, the cave is very deep and dark, the swiftlets can come and go in the darkness, and the depth of the cave does not stop them from building nests.
After flying about five miles, the cave bifurcated. One cave entrance was only about twenty meters high, but the big cave was still very tall.
Leyun walked along the main cave for about five miles. There was a faint light ahead, and the golden bird's nests were denser. About four miles further, a large hole like a sinkhole appeared above. Many swallows flew in from the mouth of the sinkhole. fly out.
There was a cave at the other end, which was also the reason why she misjudged the number of swiftlets. As for the smell, well, don’t try to tell by smell. The smell in the cave was very confusing because of the swallow excrement.
Classmate Le's nose was fumed by the smell for a while. It wasn't until he went to another exit and was blown by fresh air for a while that his nose returned to normal smelling function.
The tiankeng at the other end is very large. There is a very thin stream of water on one side of the pit. It flows down from the stone wall and forms a small pool at the bottom of the pit. The pool is very shallow and you can see the bottom. The water that cannot hold it flows to the lower level. place and come out through the cave.
Tiankeng and caves are the private territory of iron-backed rhinoceros. Iron-backed rhinos used to live at the bottom of tiankeng or in caves. The feces of iron-backed rhino and swiftlets accumulated in the tiankeng and outside and inside the cave.
After exploring the main cave, Leyun walked back to the bifurcation of the cave, and then walked towards the small low cave. There were also swiftlets nesting in the small cave. The terrain on one side of the cave was slightly lower, and there was a thin stream of Lingquan stream. , the water flow is very small, and the combined water volume is only a trickle about a finger thick.
