After packing up everything, Xu Xin walked to the altar and placed the other offerings in his hands on the altar. A cold wind blew and the blood-red spread once again. The blood on the stone pillars with the cat statues and the wild boar statues climbed up from the bottom and gradually dyed the patterns on the stone pillars red.
The blood color spread to most of the stone pillar of the cat statue, while it only spread to a small half of the stone pillar of the wild boar statue.
The original rabbit statue stone pillar was completely stained red with blood. Compared with the patterns on the altar, the patterns on the stone pillar were as dim as coagulated blood, and the stone pillar was empty, as if to show that this part of the sacrifice had been completed.
Xu Xin looked at the sky. It was almost dark and it would be night soon.
Although Xu Xin has the ability of night vision, his physical fatigue has reached its peak and he needs to go back and rest.
Before leaving, Xu Xin glanced at the place on the altar stone brick that was scratched by the blood-marked rabbit's ear, and was surprised to find that the place had returned to its original appearance, still so bumpy and full of age, but the deep scratch was gone.
"This altar can repair itself?" Xu Xin swallowed his saliva, "Is this not a living thing?"
Then he shook his head and rejected the idea: "No way, no way, how can a stone be alive?"
But the more he thought about it, the more terrifying it seemed, so he quickly rode on the Silver King and left this strange altar.
From a distance, Xu Xin looked back and through the gaps in the jungle, he could still see the stone pillar covered with dark red patterns standing in the jungle.
Although he was very tired, Xu Xin did not idle along the way. After all, no one can have too many points. He shot and killed many small wild animals along the way and finally returned to the tree house.
But when he arrived at the tree house, he was shocked.
There was an area around the tree house that looked very messy, with a heavy crossbow bolt stuck in the ground, one stuck in the tree trunk, and another lying next to the scattered wood.
On the trunk of a poplar tree, there was a large bird with black feathers whose wings were nailed by a heavy crossbow arrow. Its wings were covered in blood and feathers were scattered all around. It could be seen that it struggled hard for a while after its wings were nailed by the heavy crossbow.
Xu Xin had already reconstructed the situation in his mind.
The big bird flew low over the book house and was immediately locked by the heavy crossbow. Because of its high speed, the crossbow did not hit it, but it dodged in panic and fell into the jungle. After dodging several times, its wings were still nailed to the tree trunk by the crossbow. So it struggled hard, but it was useless. Instead, it was in more pain and bleeding, and finally hung here helplessly.
Xu Xin rode forward on the wolf and saw the full view of the big bird nailed to the tree trunk. He was a little surprised: "Hey, isn't this Eagle? Do you want to catch fish in the lake?"
The big bird nailed to the tree trunk had black feathers except for its head, which was white. Its bright yellow beak was curved downward and extremely sharp. Its eyes were closed and its body was motionless. Its two sharp claws were like barbs, one drooping down and the other digging into the tree trunk.
The tree trunk behind it was covered with deep scratches, with traces of blood in them. One could imagine the tragic struggle of this bird of prey.
The scientific name of the bald eagle is Bald Eagle. It usually lives in rivers, lakes or seashores, and feeds on fish, water birds and small mammals. This bald eagle was most likely targeted by a heavy crossbow while hunting at low altitude.
Xu Xin tapped the bald eagle's head with the broken stone spear, but it didn't respond at all.
"Dead? Or faking it?"
This bald eagle is a bird of prey. If it can be tamed, it will be a great help. Although it may not be successful, it never hurts to try when the enemy is injured.
Coco suddenly jumped onto the tree trunk and patted the bald eagle's white head with her little claws, but there was still no response.
"Come back!" Xu Xin grabbed Coco's Fate by the scruff of its neck and put it back on his shoulder.
After considering for a moment, Xu Xin held the crossbow in one hand and aimed it at the bald eagle nailed to the tree trunk. With the other hand, he held the heavy crossbow arrow tightly and pulled it out suddenly.
Kill the bald eagle and get 30 points.
Xu Xin: “…”
What happened? Was he killed
Or was he already dead, but being shot by a heavy crossbow doesn't count, so he needs to touch him
Forget it, let him die. At least he knows that there are bald eagles active nearby. If he can get a similar contract in the future, he can tame one directly and he won’t have to deal with small wild animals himself.
Xu Xin took out a boning knife and dismembered the bald eagle on the spot.
Obtained feathers (green) * 10, bald eagle meat (green) * 7kg, bald eagle bone (green) * 1
"Ten feathers! Wow, with the feathers I picked up from killing wild cats before, I finally have enough arrows for my crossbow. But the meat is really scarce."
Although a bald eagle is so big, with a wingspan of more than two meters, the bird is really light, otherwise it would not be able to fly.
This one is relatively larger than the ones on Earth. Female birds of prey are generally larger, but even female bald eagles usually weigh only about five or six kilograms, and the meat removed is even less.
After recovering the heavy crossbow arrows in the jungle, Xu Xin searched the surroundings but only found four heavy crossbow arrows. The other one must have flown far away.
Back in the tree house, Coco and Silver King started playing and chasing each other, which made Xu Xin smile bitterly. These two guys are really energetic.
He first counted today's harvest.
The power of the two blue-grade mutant rabbit ears has been confirmed by him himself. They can even penetrate blue-grade armor. They are definitely high-grade materials suitable for making weapons.
Several animal skins, well, the animal skins were free, and a blue-grade animal skin was obtained from the blood-patterned rabbit.
He also obtained a lot of animal tendons, including two blue-level animal tendons from a wild boar and a blood-marked rabbit.
There is also a blue-grade animal bone, the meat of several small wild animals, deer antlers that can be used to make medicine, and the most special thing, the meat of a mutant wild rabbit.
Keep the blue-level animal skins and bones for now, and when you have enough, make a set of blue-level leather armor to show off.
As for the animal tendons, Xu Xin planned to use one to make a crossbow and the other to make a heavy crossbow.
As for the green-level crossbow in his hand...
Xu Xin sent a message to Li Wenxi: "I want to trade some iron blocks and exchange them with you for the crossbow."
Xu Xin has mastered the technology in his own hands and can use the products to exchange for raw materials, making him a veteran capitalist.
A message came in very quickly: "Crossbow? You have a crossbow? You you you... I've been practicing archery for a whole day and just got some skills, and you tell me you have a crossbow!"
Xu Xin laughed and said, "Just tell me whether you want to change it or not."
"Change, change, change, wait for me to go back, I'm still on my way back."
Li Wenxi doesn't have a mount like him, so it will take some time for him to come back.
Xu Xin set up a grill, took out the bald eagle meat and various mushrooms, and prepared a grilled eagle sauce.
Coco and Yin Wang, who smelled the food, also came over. Xu Xin threw a few kilograms of animal meat to Yin Wang and stuffed an apple into Coco's hand.
The Silver King started to eat with relish, and Coco sat next to him with an apple in her arms. She ate the apple while staring at the meat on the grill.
"Why, do you want to eat barbecue again?" Xu Xin asked with a smile.
"Hmm!" Coco nodded and licked her lips with her little tongue.
