The Seven Seas Traveler stopped quietly among the fjords, with towering cliffs on both sides, like two silent and loyal guards, standing silently in the clouds and mist.
Fang took a sip of the cold liquid sloshing in the flat pot, looked at the silver sail rising in the mist, and squinted his eyes.
Regardless of the objections of Tian Lan, Ai Xiaoxiao and all the ladies, Luo Hao and the others hung up the bloody arrow head.
According to Baggins, this is the tradition of hunters. Skarner sailors will also hang up the largest and most ferocious monsters they have captured, as if displaying trophies.
Skarner was on the south side of the Treasure Staff Coast, and Sylvide smiled and thought that the sailors there did that just to show off their goods to the merchants, and had nothing to do with showing off their bravery or anything like that.
But the experienced sailor obviously couldn't agree with his eldest daughter's statement.
But the real value of the arrow tail is its carcass. Nearly two and a half tons of meat and bones. Although the meat of predators is probably not very tasty, at least it is food. And after it is cooked to a crisp, seasonings are added. What ingredients are there?
Even in the hands of Miss Attila, magic can be shown. At least today there will be a hot meal of broth that people can look forward to.
There is also a set of iron feathers. The market price is not much different from the long feathers of the dragon-feathered emu, but the output is not in the same order of magnitude. There are at least hundreds of feathers available for this arrow tail, which is a trophy of one hundred thousand levels. Although the current Seven Seas Brigade
The tour is not short of money, but no one would mind having too much money, right?
Fang was even a little pity.
Hunting such a large bird of prey from the air and sea is a rare thing, and it was a stroke of luck that they could defeat this arrow tail and have a box in it.
Otherwise, the arrow tail cannot hit them, and it is easy to escape calmly in such an environment.
Moreover, this kind of vengeful creature will probably continue to harass you in the next few days. Except for the three- and four-masted ships, small ships like the Seven Seas Traveler are still easily threatened by arrow tails. Therefore, people who make a living in the air and sea will try their best to make a living in the air and sea.
Avoid conflicts with large creatures of this level.
Later, even though the big bird landed, they still spent a lot of effort to subdue it. Luo Yu almost consumed all his mana and the elemental crystals he had reserved in advance. In addition, he also used several valuable wind crystals.
Fang shook the kettle and felt his body warm up. The kettle was actually filled with water mixed with wine. The fjord was filled with mist and it was very cold. The boatswain told him that this method could make him feel less uncomfortable.
And the proportion of alcohol is not high, so it will hardly make people drunk.
After a while, Box and Luo Yu came over. Baggins told them that the arrow tail living here had probably never seen humans, and its behavior of dodging firearms seemed a bit worrying, because they speculated that the big bird's nest was
It's nearby, so I plan to go explore it.
Look for a water source by the way.
They were divided into two groups, and the remaining people had to stay to inspect the Seven Seas Traveler. Xiang Xiang and Luo Yu were with him. Fang looked at the two of them and asked, "Everything is ready. Have you brought the tent?"
When venturing deep into the interior, we are not yet sure how far away the water source is, and we may encounter a situation where we cannot come back, so camping tools are a must.
Both of them nodded.
Fang looked at the other side of the boat again and found that Tang Xin was in a daze on the shore. He thought for a moment and called out: "Tangtang, do you want to come with us?"
Tang Xin is actually collecting sacred ether.
When she heard her cousin calling her, she turned around and glanced here, and was about to refuse, but Ai Xiaoxiao beside her was already nodding her head like a chicken pecking rice, "Okay, okay!"
Tang Xin gave her best friend a slap on the back of the head, but finally nodded.
She put away her magic wand and walked over. She glanced at her cousin and could see that he was in a good mood. Secretly, she was also happy about what happened to the Seven Seas Traveler.
Of course, on the surface, it's still cold.
Fang looked at his cold-tempered cousin and suddenly felt a little regretful. The crybaby had been so cold recently that he couldn't bear it.
But the next moment, Tang Xin asked softly: "Brother, do Xiaoxiao and I need to prepare anything?"
Fang then breathed a sigh of relief and shook his head. "We have brought enough tents. You and Ai Xiaoxiao can live together."
Tang Xin nodded.
There is a winding path on one side of the canyon leading to the cliff, which they discovered after checking the harbor after docking.
The group of people walked upwards through the path, Fang holding a compass in his leather gloves, trying to determine the location.
He released a few clockwork goblins, but in such a foggy environment, they had little effect. He could only use his feeling to determine the general direction of the Seven Seas Traveler when the previous battle took place.
After a while, two silver lights flew back from the mist, and Fang took back the Clockwork Fairy. He found two roads heading north and west, but he felt that the previous battle on the Seven Seas Traveler should have occurred in the north, so he moved his
Opinions were asked from others.
Everyone else agreed.
The road to the north became more and more rugged, as if the mighty force of nature was cutting out of the cliff. It was only wide enough for two people to walk side by side, walking through the canyons shrouded in clouds and mist.
From the open sea, this mist-filled fjord looks dead and lifeless. But when we get down to the canyon, we find that there is actually some vegetation here.
They are mainly mushrooms. There are patches of glowing spores growing on the cliffs, and there is also a fern plant that seems to have absorbed enough wind elements. Among the open pinnate leaves, red velvet whiskers are actually floating.
There is fluorescence in the air.
Fang also observed the subterranean ecology here, a white worm moving in and out between rock formations and soil, feeding on glowing moss lichens.
But after they eat too much, they themselves will also glow due to the accumulation of ether, thus becoming an eye-catching target for predators in this foggy world.
The predators on the upper level are mostly small creatures such as lizards, and fish living in the sea of fog.
Then he saw a fish floating in the mist, like a balloon covered with spinous fins, and it made a living by devouring these worms.
With low-level fish schools, there must be predatory fish and large fish, so it is understandable that the arrowtails nest here.
However, this also meant danger. Fang secretly increased his vigilance while taking pictures of what he saw.
Everyone was a little silent, and there was only the sound of rustling footsteps in the canyon. The water-rich mist from Kukai made the cliffs wet and slippery, and everyone had to pay some attention to prevent themselves or their companions from slipping.
The box was probably pretending to be cool. Luo Yu was not a talkative by nature, and Tang Xin didn't like to talk too much in front of strangers. Ai Xiaoxiao was the only one asking questions along the way.
But this little girl must have learned a lesson from the previous scene, and her voice was small, like a whisper.
"Cousin Ed, I've upgraded."
"How can I add more archers?"
"No need to add more."
"Ah? Then how to play this game?"
"This is not a game."
"Generally speaking, archers have two main directions: melee and long-range. The long-range is developing towards rangers and dragon-hunting archers, while the melee is towards forest guards or war dancers."
"so complicated."
"Actually, I have also upgraded," Tang Xin said softly. But of course she didn't need Fang's advice on the route. Because of Fang, she only knew a lot more about the world.
"The experience of the arrow tail is much higher than that of ordinary level 27 creatures." Luo Yu also said at this time.
"That might be an elite individual," Fang replied, "ordinary nock adults don't grow that big."
"You mean it might have some special experience?"
Fang nodded, this was exactly why he and Baggins cared.
If the nock recognizes firearms, it must have seen humans.
But the chance of humans appearing here was too low, and he had to figure out whether it was a coincidence or another reason.
If there are humans nearby, you should be able to find clues in the nest at the tail of the arrow.
Fang was very familiar with the creatures of the sea. Birds like the arrow tail like to build nests on cliffs and especially like to use old caves. In fact, they found the cave not long after walking north.
The cave was located at the other end of the canyon, looming behind the mist. When Fang saw the scratch marks left by the arrow tail on the rock, he realized that they had found the right place.
He visually measured the distance, then raised his left hand, launched the grappling hook, and flew over. Although his right hand had recovered, it would take at least several months before he could use it as usual.
Fang took out a pulley set and nailed it into the roof of the cave, then passed it through a set of ropes, mounted it on the flying claw and flew it back again, creating a temporary cable.
He rolled one end of the cable into the miniature winch in his glove, and pulled up Ai Xiaoxiao, Tang Xin, Luo Yu, and the box one by one.
The cave used as a nest in the tail of the arrow is deep and long. Although this kind of raptor almost always lives alone outside the mating season, there is no guarantee that there will be no accidents.
Unable to summon the Orphan Twins in a small space, he only used a sword-wielding man to block the front. After the battle in the sand sea, he was so embarrassed that he couldn't even bring out a powerful angel.
This is also the reason why he called Luo Yu and others up. If his combat power is complete, I have the confidence to explore this place by himself.
At least enough to ensure a safe escape.
There was a faint odor permeating the cave, and occasionally animal bones could be seen on the ground. Judging from their appearance, they should mostly be fish.
They even found the incomplete skeleton of a rock shark. Unfortunately, the horns were damaged, but Luo Yu still cut them off with a knife.
Halfway through, Fang suddenly heard a chirping sound coming from inside, and several people couldn't help but be startled.
This was not the domineering cry of an eagle at the end of an arrow. But Fang reacted quickly, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
What's in that nest may be the cub of Jianwei.
He quickened his pace, and after turning around a stone wall, the inside of the cave appeared in front of him.
The cave was covered with a thick layer of moss to keep it warm. In the center of the layer of moss, there were three small arrow tails that had not yet fully grown. They stretched their necks and chirped at the strange intruders.
Fang took one look at these cubs and couldn't help but feel a little pity, "They have been hatched for a long time, and it will be difficult for us to keep them alive after seeing the female birds."
"Ah!?" Ai Xiaoxiao was startled, "Cousin Ed, you don't want to kill them, do you?"
"Just leave them alone," Fang shook his head. "Without the female bird, they can't grow big."
"Can't we raise them?" Ai Xiaoxiao looked at these fist-sized chicks, huddled together, and her heart suddenly softened.
"They don't know how to live. They won't eat food if it's not sent by the female bird." Fang shook his head. He was very familiar with these Kukai creatures. Half of them came from the community and half from books.
Humanity has been studying Aitaria for nearly a century, and it is certainly not in vain.
Ai Xiaoxiao was silent for a moment, looking a little sad. She thought for a moment and turned around and said to Tang Xin in a soft voice: "Tangtang, think of a solution quickly, don't you have the best solution?"
Tang Xin was speechless, thinking that this little girl was treating her as a know-it-all, but looking at those chicks, she felt a little pity.
Birds of prey like arrowtails are just like giant eagles and pterosaurs. Naturally, some people train them into flying mounts.
Moreover, the giant eagle at level 17 and the pterosaur at level 25 are no match for Arrow tail. Arrow tail cubs are rare on the market, so naturally they are more valuable.
She thought about it silently, and actually thought of a way. "Isn't Miss Attila a Druid?" she suddenly said, "Maybe she can find a way?"
Fang Yi was startled, and his eyes lit up slightly. Yes, he almost forgot about this incident. But other people couldn't do it. Aren't the believers of Forest Lady Amaya the best at appeasing animals?
He was also a money-lover himself, so he naturally knew the value of the arrow tail, so he did it as soon as he thought of it, and immediately arranged for everyone to wrap the chicks in warm clothes.
These young birds at the tail of the arrow really accepted life and resisted fiercely, but no matter how powerful they were, they were only the size of a fist. Soon they were wrapped tightly one by one, leaving only their furry little heads exposed and chirping outside.
The movement here even alarmed Nini, who jumped out of Fang's spiritual world and looked at these new 'guests' curiously.
However, Nicol Bolas' faint dragon breath had a miraculous effect on these lower-level creatures. As soon as she appeared, the young birds all fell silent.
There were three chicks, two big and one small. Tang Xin concluded that the smaller one would not survive. "Usually three to four eggs will hatch in one birth, but usually only two chicks survive. This one is too weak."
, most likely they won’t survive and will fend for themselves.”
But Ai Xiaoxiao firmly disagrees with this view. "No, let me raise this one. I promise to raise it well."
Fang saw that she was about to burst into tears. In fact, there was no shortage of space on the ship. It was originally planned to raise livestock, but in the end, even the livestock were not transported aboard, which was perfect for raising these things.
When he said it, Tang Xin naturally didn't object, and Ai Xiaoxiao hugged her own one with tears in her eyes.
Luo Yu, who was inspecting the cave over there, came back and said to them: "Ed, come and take a look at this."
Fang looked back and realized that the shape of a skeleton next to Luo Yu turned out to be that of a human being.
It seemed that Baggins was actually right. He walked over and found that the human skeleton was somewhat scattered and could hardly maintain its human shape. It was obviously used as food by the arrow tail.
Only one of its hands, the bone-white right hand, was still holding a rusty magic guide.
Fang found traces of bullet hits on the other side of the cave, but they were old, probably at least ten years old.
Next, they found each other's magic furnace. Fang wiped away the rust stains on the magic furnace and recognized the origin of the magic furnace from its shape.
He raised his head and said to several people: "At least the model was produced four or seven years ago. When it was more popular, it was at least more than twenty years old... The owner of this magic furnace is a musketeer."
He looked around the cave. The owner of the magic furnace must have gone through a battle before his death, but he was obviously no match for the big bird.
That may have been ten or twenty years ago, but the lifespan of the arrow tail is as long as eighty years, so that's nothing.
There was nothing else on the ground to prove the identity of the skeleton, but when Fang glanced to one side, he suddenly made a soft eh sound.
He found a crack in the stone wall on one side of the skeleton, which seemed to lead to other places.
Could it be that the owner of this magic furnace was not caught by the arrow tail, but came in through this crack?
The more Fang thought about it, the more likely it was that if the arrow tail brought this person in, the battle should not happen in this place.
This man had a gun in his hand, and there should have been a fierce fight in mid-air. If he hadn't escaped alive, he would have been pecked to death by the tail of an arrow.
Fang thought for a moment and looked at the others. Tang Xin and others also noticed the crack. He asked with his eyes if he wanted to go over and take a look?
He apparently got an affirmative answer.
It is said to be a crack, but it is actually quite spacious, allowing at least one person to pass through it sideways, without even getting stuck in the magic furnace. If there is a clockwork fairy exploring the way in front, there should be no danger.
On the contrary, why did this person appear from this crack? What was behind the crack? It aroused everyone's curiosity.
It was only after a few people passed through the crack that they discovered that the crack was actually not that long, only about ten meters.
After that, the cave became spacious again, but Fang took out the lighting crystal and discovered in the weak and pale light that the caves here actually had traces of manual excavation.
This made him even more curious. As he walked forward, there were also some scattered tools on the ground, which were also rusty.
Then there was a row of steps. Everyone climbed up the steps and found the cave entrance not far ahead.
When Fang walked to the entrance of the cave, he suddenly let out an incredible cry and walked forward quickly with an "ah" sound.
In the goggles, the vision seen by the Clockwork Fairy was transmitted back.
The others followed, a little surprised, and arrived outside the cave entrance one by one. Then everyone froze on the spot.
Tang Xin and Ai Xiaoxiao raised their heads and looked at the scene in front of them.
In the diffuse fog, they were seeing a dark, huge five-masted warship lying across the canyon ahead.
It was quiet and motionless.
The battleship tilted slightly, and its bow hit the canyon wall on one side, almost completely destroying it.
The dark stern of the ship stood high, and the sails hanging from the mast were hanging down like rags.
Like a ghostly battleship.
Fang raised his head and looked at this scene, and couldn't help but make a growl in his throat.
