I saw a piece of feather and a few drops of blood on the ground inside the basket.
I could tell with my toes that a bird must have just died here.
It seems that the missing bird did not fly away, but was killed and eaten.
Su Jing first thought of cats, because cats like to catch small animals such as mice and birds, and then hide and eat them. Dogs and golden eagles, even if they catch small birds to eat, cannot get into the basket.
"Who is so greedy? I have to find out, otherwise the other birds will be in danger."
Su Jing glanced at the little tabby cats and other animals playing around, watered the vines calmly, and then returned to the house, but she hid behind the window and watched every move in the backyard.
I have to say that it is quite interesting to occasionally secretly observe small animals. When there is no owner around, many animals will become unscrupulous, naughty and cute.
Of course, what Su Jing focused on observing were those few birds. She saw them flying happily on the branches, sometimes flying over the yard, sometimes flying back down. When they flew over the heads of the two little civet cats, The two civet cats jumped up and stretched out their paws to catch the bird.
Su Jing squinted her eyes, wondering if the murderer was indeed a civet cat
I saw two civet cats jumping a full meter high. Their athletic ability was much better than that of ordinary cats. They were just like two clouded leopards. However, they were still young after all, lacked hunting experience, and failed to seize the right opportunity. , not only failed to catch the nimble bird, but also lost its balance in mid-air, causing me to meow in fright. However, the cat's ability to balance in the air was not limited after all, and it suddenly flipped in mid-air and landed firmly on the ground.
"It seems like these two little guys can't catch the bird at all. It wasn't them."
Su Jing continued to observe, and saw that this group of birds seemed completely restless. They flew almost to every corner of the yard, flying past dogs, parrots, and golden eagles. The golden eagles were attracted by Su Jing. The lesson is not to hurt the birds, but it seems a little annoying to see the birds. It spreads its wings and flies high into the sky, and instantly turns into a black spot. Su Jing is not worried about this. The golden eagle flies out to play every day, but Will always come back.
Su Jing was a little confused. Cats, dogs, golden eagles, parrots, etc. didn't seem to be the murderers who ate the birds. Could they be foreign animals
At this moment, this group of birds flew over the vines. Su Jing didn't pay much attention to it at first, but suddenly she caught a glimpse of a vine shooting out like a spiritual snake. The next moment, a little bird fell behind. He was caught and dragged into the basket.
"Damn, it's actually the murderer?"
Su Jing was stunned for a moment, then rushed out quickly and ran to the side of the vines.
Looking down, I saw that the vines were binding the bird, like a python, and they were getting tighter and tighter. They also secreted a kind of mucus that stuck to the bird. At the same time, several tree roots stretched out from the soil at the roots, like several tree roots. Like hands, welcoming the birds.
"Nima, is this a man-eating tree?"
Su Jing suddenly reached out her hand, grabbed the vine that bound the bird, and then broke it open with all her strength.
He felt that the binding force of the vines was quite strong, and the mucus actually had a certain anesthetic effect, making Su Jing's hands numb. The bird was tied up, and it was basically impossible to have a chance to struggle. Of course, this is limited to small animals. It is estimated that kittens, puppies, etc. will not be difficult to break free.
Not sure if he felt Su Jing's power, the vines quickly retracted, and a few tree roots underneath also drilled back into the soil. The whole tree remained motionless, looking like an ordinary plant.
"This tree can actually disguise itself, and it's also a bully. When me, kittens, puppies, golden eagles, and even parrots fly by, it doesn't move at all. It only attacks when birds fly by. .”
Su Jing didn't have time to sigh, so she quickly wiped the mucus on her hands and the bird's body. She checked the bird's injuries and found that its bones didn't seem to be broken, but its mouth was bleeding and it was dying. It was probably strangled. If you don’t treat your internal organs, you will definitely not survive.
Su Jing quickly took out a piece of monster meat, tore it into very small strands, and stuffed it into the bird's mouth. The bird swallowed the monster meat with difficulty, but every time it swallowed a morsel, it regained a little strength, and by the end it had recovered a little bit of strength. The spirit can make a cry, but it can't stand up yet.
Su Jing fed the bird meat with monster meat until it was full, then found the nest they built on the loquat tree and put it in it. The other birds did not wait for Su Jing to go away, and flew down directly, chirping around the injured bird.
"What should I do with this man-eating tree?"
Su Jing returned to the man-eating tree, holding her chin and looking at the plant that was motionless and pretending to be innocent.
In fact, there are many carnivorous plants on the earth, such as piranha, pitcher plants, Utricularia japonica, and earweed. However, they mainly attract small insects by smell, and then stick to or shrink-wrap their prey, like the vine in front of you. It's absolutely not possible to reach out and grab it directly.
There is no doubt that this vine must come from the One Piece world.
In the world of One Piece, such plants are not uncommon, especially on the Boeing Islands where Usopp trained for two years. The entire island is full of carnivorous plants. This huge island itself is a piranha. On this island Ordinary people cannot live for more than a day and will definitely be eaten by plants and become plant food. After gaining experience, Usopp even directly used various carnivorous plant seeds as super weapons.
However, this man-eating tree is magical, but it feels really useless. We have to prevent it from eating small animals. Now it can only eat small birds, but when it grows up, it will probably eat cats and dogs. Even people eat it.
"Or you can wait until it grows up and use its seeds as weapons?"
Su Jing didn't know if the seeds of this man-eating tree could be like those used by Usopp. After being shot out, they would directly turn into a tree and tie up the enemy. But even if it could, it couldn't be used indiscriminately. It was much better. Shocking.
Su Jing thought about it and couldn't figure out the use of keeping this man-eating tree, but she still couldn't bear to kill it. Firstly, she planted it herself, and secondly, it felt a pity that such a magical plant died.
Su Jing decided to keep it, but she had to guard against it and couldn't let it kill other animals randomly. After thinking about it, she went to get a lot of miscellaneous fish and threw two of them at the roots of the man-eating tree. After a moment, several roots of the man-eating tree stretched out, caught the two fish, and dragged them under the soil.
Su Jing whistled, and the golden eagle flew down from high altitude.
"From now on, you are responsible for throwing a few fish here every day, do you understand?" Su Jing taught the golden eagle with her words and hands. It must be said that the golden eagle became smarter and smarter after eating the meat of World of Warcraft. Su Jing only taught a few The next time, it understood. It grabbed a fish, flew to the sky above the man-eating tree, and accurately threw the fish into the basket. It seemed to know that the man-eating tree was not a kind person and would not approach easily.
"You're so sensible." Su Jing touched the golden eagle's head and rewarded it with a large piece of monster meat.
