There is a golden reflection on a crack in the mountain in the distance that is not completely covered by vegetation. It should undoubtedly be an open-pit mine.
It should be gold or pyrite, or maybe copper.
And in a crack just below the silver eagle's nest, red ore was exposed, which should be a cinnabar mine.
In Fang Xiaoyue's original world, cinnabar was just ordinary mercury sulfide.
But in the alchemy chapter of the Book of Immortals, cinnabar is one of the indispensable and important materials in alchemy.
After Fang Xiaoyue came to this plane, he has been looking for cinnabar, but due to the chaos in the post-war ruins era and the fact that cinnabar is of no use here, he has never found it.
Now that he has discovered the cinnabar mine, it gives him a little surprise.
After the silver eagle broke down the ox and fed it to the chicks, it spread its wings and flew away.
After all, these chicks are so edible.
The largest chick looks almost the same size as an adult silver eagle due to its fluffy down.
The youngest chicks have grown to the size of a bullock.
A chick like this can eat two-thirds of its own body weight in one meal!
Therefore, after the ox was eaten by the chicks, the adult silver eagle didn't even get a bite of the meat, so it had to continue to go out to look for food.
Fang Xiaoyue has already conceived a plan.
He was going to search for some herbs, ores, and refine some elixirs that would enlighten the blood.
It is a new attempt of his to connect the bloodline chapter and the alchemy chapter in the Book of Immortals.
In fact, there are many elixirs related to blood in the alchemy chapter.
After refining the elixir, Fang Xiaoyue planned to give it to a silver eagle chick to train a flying mount for herself.
After all, even if he catches another ox to use as a mount, it will still take a lot of time to get back to the hope gathering place from the ground.
And if you train a flying mount, it will be much easier for you to travel between the hope gathering place and the volcano in the future.
Now that the adult Silver Eagle has left, Fang Xiaoyue can just carry out the planned plan.
He turned over and slipped out from the gap in the branches, and descended to the ground along the trunk.
Perhaps it is the deterrent effect of placing the silver eagle's nest here. Poisonous snakes and poisonous insects that are common in other giant trees are not common in this tree.
Going down to the mountain, Fang Xiaoyue drilled into the cracks to mine cinnabar ore.
Although there is not much cinnabar ore in the crack, the exposed part alone is enough for him to use for the time being.
Fang Xiaoyue stuffed the mined cinnabar ore directly into the alchemy furnace, and used the sweat secreted from his hands to heat it up to decompose and refine the cinnabar ore into extremely pure cinnabar.
That's right, Fang Xiaoyue's heating ability is now not limited to hands touching water.
What's more, this sweat is also water, but it contains more impurities.
A high temperature of one thousand degrees is enough to heat, decompose and refine the cinnabar ore in the alchemy furnace.
After the refined cinnabar solidified into blocks, Fang Xiaoyue took it out and put it in his backpack.
After that, he followed the same method, searching for the required herbs and ores on the volcano, and decomposing and purifying them one by one.
Of course, since he was just a moving piece of meat in the eyes of other animals, many snakes, insects, rats, ants, and even foxes, wild cats, and leopards attacked him during this period.
However, these guys who tried to eat meat were either beaten up by him and fled in panic, or they became Fang Xiaoyue's food rations.
In the end, in order to avoid trouble, he hid in a cleaned crack and used an alchemy furnace to refine the bloodline pill.
However, counting the time, this is already the fourth day since his departure.
Fang Xiaoyue was in a hurry to return to the gathering place of hope, so she didn't waste any more time and went straight back to the silver eagle's lair.
The silver eagle is not in the nest, it must have gone out to look for food.
But what surprised him was that a war between brothers was breaking out in the lair.
Two larger chicks are working together to push a smaller chick to the edge of the nest.
The baby bird was standing precariously on the edge of the nest, and was about to fall.
As for the largest chick, it was lying in the center of the nest, monopolizing a piece of meat and eating it with gusto.
A moment later, the smallest chick let out a scream and fell towards the tree.
Although it flapped its wings, it was unable to fly back to the nest. It could only fall back and forth between the branches, and finally fell on the mountain. Afterwards, it rolled a few times and was blocked by a boulder.
Fang Xiaoyue did not get close to the fallen chick for the time being, because at this time, the silver eagle happened to return to the nest.
After the silver eagle returned to its nest, the chick that fell under the tree immediately started chirping.
But the silver eagle that came back with food completely turned a deaf ear to the cries of its young. It just lowered its head to break up the food and fed it to other chicks.
There is no doubt that after falling out of the nest, the chick has completely lost its chance of survival. Even if the parent bird returns, it is impossible to accept it back.
As the silver eagle decomposes the food, another battle for food breaks out in the nest.
By the time the silver eagle left the nest, the chick that fell under the tree was already dying of hunger.
This is not surprising. In fact, this chick has not been able to eat for more than a day, and all the food has been snatched away by the other three chicks.
This is the survival of the fittest in nature, and even the top raptor, the silver eagle, is no exception.
Fang Xiaoyue immediately came to the chick.
Compared with the chicks that are still in the nest, the chicks that cannot compete for food and fall down are more in line with his requirements.
Because the silver eagle is an extremely wild creature, many human gathering places have tried to tame the silver eagle, but no one has succeeded.
After the silver eagle reaches adulthood, it will even bite its owner.
Therefore, few people can domesticate this kind of raptor now.
However, a chick that fails to compete for food will undoubtedly suffer a great psychological and physical blow, so it will be more eager to obtain food and will be more docile.
Fang Xiaoyue took the hungry chick away from the tree and brought it to a crack. Then he took out a field mouse he had just beaten, cut it into strips of meat, and fed the chick.
There is no doubt that even the chick that failed to compete for food is extremely wary of strange creatures. It even extended its beak in an attempt to attack Fang Xiaoyue.
Of course, it is impossible for a baby bird like this to attack Fang Xiaoyue.
Fang Xiaoyue dodged easily.
What he needs to do now is actually to boil the eagle.
He kept teasing the chicks so that they could not sleep. Finally, driven by hunger, they had to eat the meat strips they fed.
Only in this way can both parties establish a master-slave relationship.
In fact, this process is not too fast, because compared to the raptors before the war, the silver eagle, an extremely powerful top raptor, has a more ferocious personality. Even in the fledgling stage, it is difficult for them to be friendly to other creatures.
mood.
Think about it, even their brothers of the same bloodline will meet each other in life and death, let alone other creatures.
After all, for silver eagle chicks, most creatures are within their diet.
As for humans, they are little bugs that are worse than food!
Would you surrender to a little bug?
You know, the IQ of the silver eagle is not low.
Generally speaking, among birds, the intelligence of raptors is quite high, among which the silver eagle has reached the level of a ten-year-old child.
Therefore, even a young bird knows that the little insect in front of him is trying to make him surrender.
If it were an adult silver eagle, Fang Xiaoyue would not be able to make him surrender even if he tried all kinds of means.
But the young bird is always weaker in will.
So after the two sides were in a stalemate for six hours, the chick lowered its head towards Fang Xiaoyue and took away the smelly meat stick.
No way, it's too hungry.
I was so hungry that everything looked like meat strips.
Under such circumstances, the survival instinct defeated its tenacity.
After the silver eagle chicks had a good meal, they were able to accept Fang Xiaoyue's hand to touch them, instead of being pecked when Fang Xiaoyue approached.
In the next day, Fang Xiaoyue spent all her time cultivating a relationship with the silver eagle chick.
Although he has means to control living creatures, such as opening the passage to the Kingdom of God, introducing divine power, and directly engraving the ideological stamp on the mind of the silver eagle chick, turning it into a loyal slave who only obeys him.
But the cost is too high, and the gain outweighs the loss.
This plane has great restrictions. Opening the passage to the Kingdom of God will inevitably attract the attention of plane consciousness.
And after Fang Xiaoyue's observation, perhaps because of the death of a large number of creatures due to the war, the plane consciousness in this plane is somewhat manic.
To put it bluntly, it is as if he is suffering from mania. If he switches to another plane of consciousness, if Xiaoyue opens the channel to the Kingdom of God, at most he will be noticed by the plane of consciousness for a while. If it does not open later, it will be fine.
But with this plane consciousness, Fang Xiaoyue suspected that as soon as she opened the channel to the Kingdom of God, she would probably be directly targeted by the plane consciousness.
Being targeted by plane consciousness is not a good thing.
It's equivalent to 12 layers of bad luck buffs. It's a trivial matter to step on dog poop when going out. It's possible to encounter meteorites at every turn.
Therefore, Fang Xiaoyue is not willing to open the channel to the Kingdom of God for matters that can be handled with his current means.
Because Fang Xiaoyue was given enough meat strips, she cared for the silver eagle chick as if it were a baby. Therefore, the silver eagle chick quickly became very close to Fang Xiaoyue, especially when Fang Xiaoyue returned from hunting.
The chick immediately stretched out its neck, flapped its little wings and came up to beg for food, as if it were its own parents.
At this level, the intimate relationship between the two parties has basically exploded.
So Fang Xiaoyue immediately took out a blood-red bloodline pill and fed it to the silver eagle chick.
This silver eagle chick was so stupid that it thought it was something delicious, so it rushed up to it and swallowed it in one bite.
But a moment later, the silver eagle chick fell to the ground, its body began to twitch continuously, as if it was having epilepsy, and some white foam flowed from the corner of its mouth.
This is when the bloodline pill takes effect in its body and begins to transform the silver eagle chick's physique.
Soon, the parts of the body surface of the silver eagle chick that were not covered by feathers were soaked in blood.
At the same time, the silver eagle chick became unconscious, opened its mouth wide and began to beg for food.
This is not surprising, this is not a high-demon or high-energy plane, even if the bloodline pill refined by Fang Xiaoyue itself cannot provide the energy and nutrients needed to transform the body.
Therefore, Fang Xiaoyue had to feed the meat strips prepared in advance to the chicks one by one.
At this time, the silver eagle chick has an astonishing appetite and eats more than three times its body weight in just one meal.
Seeing that the belly of the chick was so enlarged that it was almost transparent and you could see the strips of meat inside, Fang Xiaoyue was a little worried that the belly would explode accidentally.
The blood wrapped the silver eagle chick little by little, forming a bloody flesh cocoon with a diameter of more than two meters.
Fang Xiaoyue knew that the silver eagle chick had entered a state of bloodline evolution, so he immediately left the crack and wandered around, looking for prey to kill.
No way, after the bloodline evolution of this silver eagle chick is completed, it will definitely need a lot of meat to make up for the consumption of bloodline evolution.
If Fang Xiaoyue does not prepare enough food at this time, she will be in trouble when the silver eagle chick emerges from the cocoon.
Extreme hunger can even cause tamed silver eagles to attack their masters.
After all, just because Fang Xiaoyue tamed the silver eagle chick doesn't mean that the other party will always be loyal to her.
About six hours later, the blood cocoon burst from the inside.
The silver eagle chick emerged from the inside, all wet, but its feathers had grown fully. And when it got out of the cocoon and stretched its body in the air, it could be seen that its body had grown larger than the adult silver eagle.
Big circle.
It's just that he looks very thin at this time, there is not much meat on his body, only his skeleton is visible.
Fang Xiaoyue then placed the hunted food at the feet of the silver eagle, and it grew into adulthood in just a few hours. Even the silver eagle, whose body was boosted to a taller height, was already hungry and jumped at the sight of meat.
Go up.
After a voracious meal, a small mountain of food disappeared, and the silver eagle's body quickly became plump from a skeleton shape, and it even called out to Fang Xiaoyue affectionately.
At this time, the silver eagle is no longer the thin and thin chick that didn't even have all its feathers. Its bloodline has been purified and its body has become a full adult. At the same time, its IQ has also been greatly improved.
Fang Xiaoyue gave the other party a name: Xiao Yinzi.
Okay, the name actually doesn't sound good, but the silver eagle doesn't understand human language now, so after Fang Xiaoyue repeatedly prompted and called a few times, the silver eagle started singing along happily.
However, five and a half days have passed now, and Fang Xiaoyue needs to rush back to the hope gathering place within half a day.
So he turned over and got on Xiao Yinzi's back, patted the other person's neck, and signaled the other person to take off.
The silver eagle has tried flying several times before.
But in this manned flight, the silver eagle was still not afraid. It flapped its broad wings and jumped out of the crack, diving towards the bottom of the mountain.
After gliding down the mountain for less than thirty meters, the silver eagle's flapping wings caused the silver eagle to raise its head and fly upward.

A few days ago, I originally planned to go to the hospital to have the permanent hemorrhoids removed, but something went wrong and I had to wait before going.
