Chronicles of Primordial Wars

When Shao Xuan arrived, he saw a group of people gathered around the mountain where they lived. They didn't go up the mountain. The place under the mountain was more spacious, and the birds that were brought back needed to be further processed, and it was too noisy to bring them up the mountain. ?Hunting ?? ??????? ?

Before approaching Shao Xuan, he heard all kinds of bird calls, and the iconic feathers of the Yu tribe people could be seen from far away.

Many Yu tribe people hold large and small bird cages in their hands, woven with rattan or straw, different bird species use different cages, and the shape of the bird cages is also different.

This is the first time that the Yanjiao people have seen so many bird cages.

I have to admit that the people of the Yu tribe seem to be very concerned about the appearance, and the woven birdcage is also decorated, which is very angry.

"Everyone is back?" Shao Xuan asked a soldier over there who was craned his neck to look in.

When the man looked back and saw that it was Shao Xuan, he quickly said, "Yes, the chiefs of the tower and the others have all returned, but the chiefs they brought back were all bird eggs, unlike the people of the Yu tribe, who brought them back in addition to bird eggs. become a bird."

Only bring back bird eggs? Is this going to hatch by itself?

Because seeing Shao Xuan coming, everyone who squeezed in there gave way.

Shao Xuan saw that the people of the Yu tribe were showing the birds they caught. Some of them were just released directly. They should have started domestication, and most of them were just showing them through the cage.

The birds caught by the Feather Tribe basically have beautiful feathers, either gorgeous tail feathers, bizarre crown feathers, or other parts of the body with distinctive feathers.

As soon as he saw the birds caught by the people of the Yu tribe, Shao Xuan was worried that what they recommended to the tower was a flashy bird species. Although he said before that he did not seek appearance, but only practicality, but before seeing the results, no one would Not guaranteed.

Without looking at the birds brought back by the Yu tribe, Shao Xuan went directly to the tower.

Guihe, they are already there, and they are standing there listening to the tower talking.

"People from the Feather Tribe say that deadleaf birds can be active during the day and night, especially at dawn and dusk, and they are more active at night than during the day. I thought that we mainly need some precautions at night, after all There are not many people now, and the restrictions at night are also big. So, if you can, try to tame these dead leaf birds."

The tower held an animal skin scroll in his hand, Shao Xuan went over to look at it, and there was a painting on it. It should be drawn by the people of the Feather tribe, although the painting is still very abstract,

But the main features have been drawn and can be seen at a glance.

Seeing Shao Xuan coming over, the tower directly handed over the animal skin roll in his hand and let Shao Xuan take a good look. After all, Shao Xuan is only one of the main decision makers if he can leave the eggs of these dead leaf birds.

"Why is it called a dead leaf bird?" Shao Xuan asked. This name must have been given by the people of the Yu tribe.

"They said that this kind of bird looks like a pile of dead leaves, and. When hatching, they buried their eggs in the dead leaves." Ta didn't remember the original words of the Yu tribe people, so he just said roughly said.

Although not completely, Shao Xuan also understood.

In general, the dead leaf bird was given such a name by the people of the Feather Tribe because of the color of its coat and the way it was hatched.

Compared with other birds, the hatching method of dead leaf bird is relatively rare, and it is closer to the hatching method of reptiles. They will bury the eggs in the soil bags prepared long ago, which contain dead branches and leaves. When those things spoil the leaven, they will generate heat, and the dead leaf bird uses the heat of the leaven to hatch the eggs.

Can adapt to this method, and the hatching rate is still high, at least this bird is not too stupid. This made the people of Yanjiao slightly satisfied. Don't be stupid, they don't mind if they look ugly.

Shao Xuan looked at the painting on the animal skin scroll again. There were several circles of concentric circles around the bird's eyes, which looked like radar, and, "What's on its head?" similar.

Drawing of a dead leaf bird. There is a thin long hair on the bird's head, which is half the length of its body.

"Oh, this is the crown feather of the dead leaf bird. The people of the Feather Tribe despise this kind of crown feather, so they have never raised it except when they were raised hundreds of years ago. However, they say this Birds have a strong sense of vigilance, and when they sense danger, the crown feathers on their heads will stand up. Also, there are many kinds of calls of dead-leaf birds, and the calls are different in different situations, which are easy to distinguish and easy to distinguish. It is not suitable for long-distance flying, and basically only moves in a certain place, so there is no need to worry about them flying away. Therefore, the people of the Feather Tribe suggested that we raise dead-leaf birds, and I also think we can try it first.”

Ta Jiang explained what the Yu tribe people said again. He is not so easy to be fooled by the Yu tribe people, but it is the reason that the Yu tribe people said, and he agrees.

"Why don't the people of the Feather tribe keep them? Is it really just because it doesn't look good?" Someone asked.

"No," Ta continued, "People from the Feather Tribe said that deadleaf birds are more noisy, not that they are noisy themselves, but that they are easy to quarrel with other flocks of birds, so once they start, The Feather Tribe will fall into a commotion."

The Feather Tribe has raised so many birds, imagine the situation when all those birds chirped...

"Isn't there no other flock of birds in our tribe? Guihe and Chacha will definitely not quarrel with them. Those ducks basically don't leave around the lake now. If we tame dead-leaf birds, we should be able to. "

"You can indeed try it. By the way, how big can a dead leaf bird grow?" Shao Xuan asked.

"It's not big, that's all." Ta raised his hand and gestured, probably only two palms long, not as good as those ducks.

However, I heard that many dead-leaf birds are in flocks, and the tower brought back forty or fifty eggs. Even if the final hatch rate is only half, it is enough. You can try it first.

It's not big, so naturally it can't carry people, which is a bit regrettable, but if the dead leaf bird is really like what the Yu tribe people said, it can also satisfy everyone. Hopefully they will work when there are fewer people.

"I made an agreement with the people of the Feather Tribe, and let them leave a few people to help hatch the eggs. After all, they have experience. I heard that even if the eggs are buried in earthbags, they have to be looked after every day. It would be better to leave them to them. ."

In fact, these eggs were dug out of earthbags buried with dead branches and leaves. Not all of them came from the same earthbag, but five to ten eggs were taken from each of several earthbags. If it wasn't for the protection of the feather tribe's people with their own skills, these eggs that were dug up and brought back might not have hatched.

"They say it will hatch in about ten days."

Since the incubation needs to be watched by the people of the Yu tribe, the people from the Yu tribe over there also need a few days to stay here to observe the adaptation of the birds caught, so they have not left for the time being.

After the more than 40 dead-leaf bird eggs hatched, the members of the Yu tribe left.

The chicks of the dead-leaf bird are early birds, and they can walk and forage on their own when they are out of their shells, which saves a lot of things. This is one of the reasons why the tower decided to choose the dead-leaf bird.

People with rich breeding experience were selected from the animal pen to take care of these newly hatched dead-leaf birds, because the breeder saw them after they broke their shells, and saw them the most times, and also fed them, so These chicks are very dependent on the breeder, sometimes lining up to follow the breeder.

When Shao Xuan went, he saw the forty-two gray-brown hairballs following the breeder to the trough. Probably the time of hatching is still short, and although it can walk, it cannot fly freely.

"Why doesn't he seem so energetic?" Shao Xuan asked. Those chicks all had their eyes half-open, and they staggered when they walked, as if they had not woken up.

The breeder explained with a smile: "No, they are usually like this, but they are more energetic when they eat."

Sure enough, as soon as they got to the trough, those chicks who didn't seem to wake up began to compete with you.

Seeing that these chicks look so fragile when they break their shells, the breeder is still very proud. Those bird food was also taught to him by the people of the Feather Tribe. Sure enough, these dead leaf birds are growing well.

But the breeder was not proud for two days, and the chicks dumped him.

The reason is that the pterosaur threw half a fish into the bird pile when it was idle. At first, the breeder was worried that these birds would not get used to it. Unexpectedly, these dead leaf birds have a very strong adaptability. Not only that, but later The pterosaur threw some small beasts, and after each throw of food, it looked over.

Later, the chicks got closer to the pterosaur and stopped following the breeder.

However, when the people in the tribe saw that the dead-leaf birds were not at all wrong, they were more active, so they ignored it. The skills of the Feather Tribe will not be taught to them by the people of the Feather Tribe. They have to figure out everything by themselves, but these dead leaf birds are not suitable for engraving.

Therefore, the people in Yanjiao thought, just take it slow, and when these dead leaf birds grow up, they may be able to understand some instructions.

However, Shao Xuan always felt that the pterosaur had other intentions for doing so.

The reason why the pterosaur was so daring recently was because Shao Xuan didn't have time to stare at it all day recently, because the artificial river channel in the Yanhe trading area was almost completed. The bridge that needs to be built has also been built, and Zheng Luo recently discussed the gate with him.

They will set up two sluices at the two intersections of the river and the Yan River, mainly to block some dangerous fish or river beasts along the river.

The completion of the artificial river means that the upstream and downstream will not be blocked by the Yanhe Bridge in the future. Ships can bypass the stone bridge through the artificial river, but they must pass under the eyes of Yanjiao, which is impossible. Avoid the eyes and ears of flaming horns. (To be continued.)
