A fight between monkeys and birds.
Gao Ertai quickly described the scene in detail. In fact, a group of fruit-stealing monkeys were attacking an eagle: "The bird built a nest on the coconut tree, and there seemed to be bird eggs in the nest. Stealing a bird's egg."
He took this as an anecdote.
But Liszt got on his horse and announced on the spot: "Today's logging work ends here, everyone leaves Thorn Ridge. Mr. Marcus, you come with me to the Oyster Village." There is no doubt that the bird is the Peregrine Falcon, Lying in the bird's nest is the chick waiting to be hatched.
That is his task reward.
At the order of the lord, the logging team immediately stopped working and returned to the town along the half-built gravel road. Liszt has already taken Marcus and four retinue knights, and galloped towards the oyster village first. When we arrived on the east coast, we saw the patrol surrounded a fragrant coconut tree.
There are a lot of monkey corpses under the tree.
"My lord!" The patrol members saluted one after another.
Liszt raised his head and looked at the crown of the fragrant coconut tree. This kind of tree is tens of meters high. The lowest one is four stories high, and the tallest one is twenty stories high.
The tree in front of me is the tallest one. It grows obliquely towards the sea at a 60-degree angle. Looking up, the crown of the tree is almost a small point.
The canopy at this time is very lively, chickens are flying and dogs are jumping around, and occasionally a monkey's body will fall down, and it will die on the spot. Cut open wound.
"There are monsters on it. It looks like a wound caused by a magical wind blade." Marcus vigilantly picked up the corpse of a fruit-stealing monkey.
Liszt pointed casually: "It's the peregrine falcon. This group of fruit-stealing monkeys is attacking the peregrine falcon's nest. There should be its eggs in the nest. The battle is fierce. Mr. Marcus, what can you do to save the eggs?" If you get it, it will probably hatch a new Peregrine Falcon."
"It turned out to be a peregrine falcon." Marcus nodded suddenly, and then frowned, "If it's a tree, it's easy to climb up, but there are a group of fruit-stealing monkeys and a peregrine falcon on it, which is very dangerous. The nest guard Warcraft are the most vicious, and the fruit-stealing monkeys themselves are also a group of vicious beasts."
"Then just wait, maybe, they will both lose." Liszt said uncertainly.
Since it was a task reward, it shouldn't be difficult to obtain, otherwise, it would be an impossible task to get the bird's eggs from a group of combat-capable fruit-stealing monkeys, or from a combat-capable peregrine falcon.
Waiting for another quarter of an hour.
There were more and more monkey corpses, and the patrol members happily picked up the corpses. These are the best game, even though they can't eat them, all the territory belongs to the castle and Liszt, but the lord will definitely reward them with some benefits.
Liszt thought for a while, and told the patrol team: "Put away all the dead fruit-stealing monkeys. Seriously injured ones should be mended, and those not seriously injured should be tied up first. I want to live."
He didn't forget his previous idea, he wanted to train the fruit-stealing monkeys to go up the tree to pick coconut nuts.
"Yes, my lord!"
Marcus suddenly said: "My lord, be careful, the remaining monkeys are about to escape!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Liszt saw about a dozen or so fruit-stealing monkeys running quickly down the trunk of the fragrant coconut tree. And behind them, a big bird whose feathers were almost gone, flapped its wings and chased after them.
"Marcus is with me to intercept the peregrine falcon, and everyone in the patrol team intercepts the fruit-stealing monkey. No one is allowed to escape, and the ones that can be caught should be caught as much as possible!"
Two dogs fight, play off.
With such a good opportunity, Liszt made a decisive decision.
"Yes!" Faced with the opportunity to beat the dog in the water, the patrol members were very excited, each drew their weapons and stopped them under the tree.
Marcus undocked his bow and arrow, bent it and nocked it, ready to shoot. Liszt himself drew out the red blood sword that he carried with him, and the gem weapon made him confident.
in the blink of an eye.
A dozen or so surviving fruit-stealing monkeys have already jumped under the tree, and the patrol members howled and rushed up to beat them. The fruit-stealing monkey has been exhausted after a hard fight, and has no decent counterattack at all. It is like a headless chicken. It doesn't know where to run, so it can only be beaten.
The long gun hit the monkey, and he lay down on the ground a few times, unable to move.
On the other side, the fluffy peregrine falcon was chasing a fruit-stealing monkey. Unexpectedly, Liszt had already rushed over on horseback. The red blood sword was attached to a raging flame. A large piece of fire rain fell, even if the peregrine falcon avoided it very cleverly, it was still stuck by the fire rain, igniting its few remaining feathers.
But after this blow, the Peregrine Falcon sensed the danger, let out a long chirp, flapped its wings vigorously, and flew towards the sky.
Liszt couldn't let it go away, and shouted: "Marcus!"
Marcus had been prepared for a long time, let go, and the bowstring catapulted. The two arrows moved side by side, accompanied by a short, sharp howling sound, and pierced the body of the stroke peregrine falcon hard.
The peregrine falcon wobbled and fell headfirst on the beach.
…
When the last fruit-stealing monkey was smashed to the ground by a spear, it was then surrounded by patrol members and captured alive on the spot. In this battle between the monkey and the bird, there was no winner in the end, and it was all won by the fisherman Liszt.
Take stock.
There were a total of forty-six fruit-stealing monkeys, a total of thirty-nine were dead or seriously injured, and the remaining seven were not seriously injured and were all tied up.
The body of the Peregrine Falcon was picked up. It was not big, only the size of a dog.
A patrol member with quick hands and feet carefully climbed up the crown of the fragrant coconut tree, found the bird's nest, and took out a bird's egg that was slightly smaller than a pineapple.
"Lord, there are really bird eggs!" The patrol members excitedly held the eggs and offered them to Liszt.
Liszt reached out to take the egg, but before he could appreciate it, the egg suddenly made a slight clicking sound.
"My lord, the egg has hatched!" Marcus was taken aback.
Liszt was also taken aback, thinking in his heart that the smog task is really powerful, and the bird eggs started to hatch just as soon as he touched it. In a daze, the cracking sound of the bird's egg was endless. After a while, the shell case was pecked open, and a bare and ugly bird head was exposed, with its mouth open, making an unpleasant "creak" and "creak" sound.
The huge eyes on the bird's head looked at Liszt, and kept shouting, as if wanting to eat.
Liszt coughed lightly: "Mr. Marcus, what do young peregrine falcons eat?"
"Should... eat small fish and shrimp?"
"Then, patrol members, go to the fishermen's house in Shenghaotun and bring some small fish and shrimps. Remember, they must be alive." He vaguely remembered that in "Man and Nature" he had read, there were seabirds feeding The chick is holding a small fish that is still moving around in its beak, obviously it is a live fish.
However, I seem to remember that some birds eat small fish and shrimps in their stomachs, bring them back, and spit them out for the birds to eat.
All in all, let's feed some living things first.
Today's harvest is already huge, but I don't care so much about a little bird of warcraft—the big problem of the fruit-stealing monkey is solved, the coconut trees can pick fruits as much as they want, and there are even "workers" who pick fruits; the big peregrine falcon The corpse is also a fortune, whether it is sold or eaten, it is a great supplement.
There are also upcoming tasks that will reward the town's scarce population.
"What a beautiful day!" Liszt was in a particularly happy mood as he watched the chicks of the Peregrine Falcon munching on small fish and shrimps. "Mr. Marcus, let's go back to the castle together. We will continue to hold the banquet tonight, um, barbecue fruit-stealing monkeys!"
