"Is that knocking sound..." Ding Sitian immediately thought of Morse code, but before she could finish her words, she stopped herself.
Although the movement of Chen Ziyan and others coming down temporarily attracted their attention, the knocking sound never stopped at all.
Ding Sitian only realized this after she subconsciously said her thoughts.
But no one would say anything because of this, because when Shirley Yang and Wang Kaixuan heard the half of her sentence just now, the same thought came to their minds immediately.
After Ding Sitian's unintentional reminder, everyone realized that now was not the time for small talk.
At this time, Hu Bayi recalled his doubts on the tree crown, and asked directly: "Ms. Yang, you are the most familiar with Morse code among us. Can you translate what the current paragraph means?"
Facing Hu Bayi's expectant gaze, Shirley Yang shook her head subconsciously: "Although this signal now belongs to the category of Morse code, it has been encrypted again. I can't interpret it accurately. I can only
Guess a rough meaning."
"If I guess correctly, the newly appeared Morse code is a warning signal, and it should contain a word that roughly means death."
"Warning? Death?" Hu Bayi's eyes instantly became serious when he heard this.
Neither of these terms is good news.
Wang Kaixuan said: "Just now it was asking for advice, but now it has become a warning. Why do I feel like there is something missing here?"
"Maybe you discovered something while waiting for rescue?" Ding Sitian followed his train of thought and expressed her guess.
After hearing what the two said, Shirley Yang seemed to have thought of something. She looked at Chen Ziyan who remained silent and asked, "Did you find anything else up there?"
It suddenly occurred to her that she hadn't asked Chen Ziyan what they had found above.
Chen Ziyan did not hide anything, and immediately briefly explained the experience of himself and others on it: "Just as we guessed before, the wreckage of a transport plane was indeed found here, but at least it has to be
It has been there for decades, and we brought back some of the well-preserved weapons inside, but the only one left is this eagle owl."
"The wreckage of a transport plane from decades ago?" When Shirley Yang heard this, she felt a chill running down her spine and subconsciously looked at the thick tree next to her.
The reason why she made the inquiry was to make sure there were no survivors of the plane crash.
But now this answer clearly shows that even if there are so-called survivors of the plane crash trapped in the tree, they will never survive to this day.
Wang Kaixuan's mind was spinning very fast on this kind of thing. He immediately took a few steps back and looked at the tree body that was still making knocking sounds: "Damn, ghost signal? Could it really let Lao Hu, a crow?
You must be right!"
When he said the second half of the sentence, he glanced at Hu Bayi specifically, as if he wanted to seek confirmation from him.
Hu Bayi couldn't help but look bitter when he saw this: "I can't say anything about this!"
The next second, he thought of the professional knowledge Chen Ziyan had shown when he went to the tomb several times before, and quickly asked: "Mr. Chen, what do you think?"
After several previous expeditions, Chen Ziyan's authority in this area had already been established, so after hearing Hu Bayi's words, everyone else also turned their attention to it.
Chen Ziyan glanced helplessly at Hu Bayi, who was blaming the blame, and had to use his previous rhetoric again: "Don't worry about whether this is a ghost signal or whether there are undead ghosts from the pilots who are still resentful. We are not suitable to be there."
I've been staying here for a long time, let alone doing research in the middle of the night, so I'd better wait until daybreak to talk about anything."
Although Chen Ziyan's words are very common, they are very true.
Whether it is Wang Kaixuan, Hu Bayi and Shirley Yang who are deeply immersed in local thinking, or Shirley Yang, a foreign girl who grew up in the United States, there is actually an unnoticeable subconscious deep in their hearts, that is, the spirit of the undead, the spirit of ghosts
Such things like to come out at night, and sunlight will cause suppression and harm to such unexplainable existences, so they immediately agreed to this proposal.
Wang Kaixuan even said: "Master Chen is right, wait until dawn. By then, it doesn't matter whether he is a local ghost or not. We can't make him round or flat if we want."
Hearing Chen Ziyan mention the word "dawn" just now was like a magical elixir that gave him great confidence in an instant.
Although the two women next to him didn't react as fiercely as him, they nodded silently.
Of course, the reason why they reacted like this was, in addition to the fixed impression that had been unspoken since childhood, Chen Ziyan's soft and calm tone when he spoke was also an indispensable and important factor.
Hu Bayi also reacted at this moment and said hurriedly: "Yes, let's not stay here. Let's go back to the camp first. The tree won't have legs to run away anyway. Let's come over and study it carefully until dawn."
A few minutes later……
The group of people returned to the temporary camp much faster than before. When they saw the bonfire that was still burning, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
After what happened just now, no one is in the mood to go to sleep now.
A few people simply sat around the fire, talking about what had just happened, while keeping an eye on the dark forest around them.
Chen Ziyan thought that Shirley Yang knew something about eagle owls, so he asked: "Shirley, what do you think we should do to eliminate the eagle owls in this area?"
He was just asking casually. It would be great if he could gain anything, but it didn't matter if he didn't.
When Shirley Yang heard this, she couldn't help but frown slightly: "Why should we eliminate the Eagle Owl?"
She said she couldn't understand this. Compared to the Eagle Owls, they were just outsiders, and the Eagle Owls here didn't pose any hindrance to them. Why did they go so far as to completely eliminate them?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Here." Chen Ziyan couldn't see her doubts. He pursed his lips toward the eagle owl sitting obediently next to the flower fox and said, "See over there
There is no Eagle Owl. If Lao Hu and I hadn't reacted quickly enough, we would have been injured by this guy long ago. If it was seriously injured, it's a matter of whether we can come back alive."
After deliberately aggravating the threat of the eagle owls, Chen Ziyan continued: "It can be seen from this that these eagle owls are not gentle and may attack us at any time. Normally, it's okay to say that if you are careful, nothing will happen.
But if we are attacked at a critical moment, these flat-haired beasts might become the last nail in our coffin."
Even though Shirley Yang still felt that this precaution was a bit cruel, she couldn't say anything to refute it after hearing Chen Ziyan's words.
Some things are like this. Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the eventuality. Compared with their own safety, it is necessary to nip possible dangers in the bud.
When it comes to one's own safety, those methods have nothing to do with whether they are cruel or not.
Wang Kaixuan responded positively: "Mr. Chen's words make sense. We can't risk our lives with Mr. Wang's organization while also guarding against these flat-haired beasts that may appear at any time, right?"
But when he said this, he secretly glanced at the eagle owl, wondering what it would taste like after roasting.
One thing he said, his fat man really wanted to try it.
Shirley Yang was slightly silent after hearing this, and no longer mentioned whether it was cruel or not, but instead said: "Creatures like eagle owls generally live together in the form of a group, but because of their low fertility, the size of this group
They won’t be too big, but I don’t know if there are any creatures here that can hunt them. Otherwise, even if their fertility is limited, the number of eagle owls here will definitely not be large.”
Speaking later, she understood Chen Ziyan's worries to a certain extent. If a large group of eagle owls really lived here, it would not be a good thing for them.
"Quantity... If these eagle owls are also behind Xian Wang's arrangement, then after thousands of years of reproduction..." Hu Bayi did not say the next words, but everyone present could understand what he meant.
Even if the fertility is low, after such a long period of time, it will probably be an extremely shocking number.
However, compared to their worries, Chen Ziyan shook his head slightly: "The number of this eagle owl group should not be too large."
"Master Chen, how do you say this?" Hu Bayi asked.
Chen Ziyan explained: "First of all, we must be clear about a premise, that is, the range of activities of birds is not restricted by the environment. However, in the information we obtained, there is no mention of creatures like eagle owls at all, which means that they
The valley where we are located can completely meet all the needs of the entire group, so they are not allowed to appear in the sight of outsiders."
"Furthermore, judging from the human figurines and sword-toothed viperfish we encountered earlier, King Xian was accustomed to setting up chain mechanisms. It can be said that he is committed to killing with one hit after interlocking. And if there is only one kind of eagle owl,
Living things cannot do this, so if this eagle owl is really raised by King Xian, then there are probably two kinds of creatures that are closely related to it, and they are at the upstream and downstream of the entire food chain."
The latter point is the main reason for Chen Ziyan's judgment.
He knew that the old guy Xian Wang had transformed the entire Bug Valley and most areas of the valley into part of the Feng Shui Bureau, so he would never let the Feng Shui Bureau he had worked so hard to build be destroyed, so the Feng Shui Bureau here was
The overall ecological environment must be protected.
What's more, in addition to those ancient creatures, there are countless poisons in this place. Even a raptor like the eagle owl will not be able to get away with it.
"This makes some sense, but if it is true, the creature that can restrain the eagle owl must be more dangerous." Shirley Yang said.
After saying this, the girl couldn't help but sigh. She had encountered so many things without even seeing the shadow of Chonggu. She really couldn't imagine what the real Tomb of King Xian would be like.
Ding Sitian noticed her worries and comforted her: "This is the real prince's tomb, otherwise it would not have been opened to this day. The wisdom of the ancients cannot be underestimated."
In fact, she still had something to say, where did she go? Compared with the imperial mausoleums in the Central Plains, the manpower and material resources that princes in border areas like King Xian could mobilize were completely different.
Hearing Ding Sitian say this, Shirley Yang also felt inexplicable. She felt that this should be a comfort, but she didn't know how to describe the effect.
Fortunately, she was not a narrow-minded person. She immediately put aside these messy thoughts, looked at Chen Ziyan and expressed her opinion: "Eagle owls live on nearby cliffs. If you really want to eliminate this hidden danger,
To eliminate it, the best time is when they all return to their nests."
This was the most likely way she could think of in a short period of time. After all, if you want to deal with birds like eagle owls, their habits are a strategic point that cannot be missed at any cost.
As long as we can attack all the eagle owls returning home at dawn without alerting the eagle owl group, it is really possible to catch them all.
However, in order to achieve this, in addition to strong mobility, it also requires luck. However, once you can succeed, you will definitely be successful in one battle. Even if there are a few trapped owls, it will not make a difference.
"This method...is not bad!" Chen Ziyan rubbed his chin out of habit.
He calculated in his mind that if he followed Shirley Yang's method, he would be at least 90% sure that all the eagle owls could be wiped out.
They just need to set up a fire coverage network before the Eagle Owl reacts.
But this also led to a problem, that is, it was not in line with Chen Ziyan's expectations, and he could only receive one reward.
Moreover, such large-scale shooting may also attract other creatures. This is entirely possible.
Just when Chen Ziyan was thinking about whether to do this, Ding Sitian suddenly glanced at the insignificant eagle owl squatting next to the flower fox and asked: "How can the flower fox command this eagle owl?"
To what extent?”
As soon as she said this, others had no idea what she was thinking.
Chen Ziyan said with some uncertainty: "The command can do it, but after all, it is tamed using a special method. Once the distance from the flower fox is too far or the time is too long, it may lose control."
On the way back, he also secretly communicated with Huahu, but because Huahu's expression was a bit vague, he couldn't tell how big the flaws of this alternative taming were.
"I just thought of a way, but the requirements for this method are a bit high. The prerequisite is the cooperation of this eagle owl, otherwise I'm afraid it won't be possible." There was a little regret in Ding Sitian's tone, but there was a deep look in her eyes.
The doubts subsided.
In fact, she was extremely shocked when she saw the flower fox taming an eagle owl.
Some of her former colleagues were good at domesticating birds, but if they wanted to train a raptor that could be driven by arms, it would take years.
Ding Sitian has helped prepare some medicines, so she knows something about this and knows that there is no quick fix.
So when she saw the flower fox letting the eagle owl follow him so obediently, although her face didn't show anything, there was no doubt in her heart.
