The eagle seemed to be attracted by the sound and attacked Xiao Yi again. Xiao Yi dodged the eagle's attack while looking for the cup of spiritual spring water. But in this dark and chaotic night, it was not easy to find the small cup.
Just when Xiao Yi was about to give up, he suddenly noticed a faint light flickering not far ahead. With a thought in his mind, he hurried towards the light. As he got closer, he saw that it was his cup, the spiritual spring water sparkling in the moonlight.
Xiao Yi carefully picked up the cup and held it tightly in his hand. He knew that this spiritual spring water was not only crucial to their expedition, but also the key to the challenges they might face in the future. He couldn't lose it.
The eagle's attack continued, but Xiao Yi was no longer as panicked as before. He calmly dealt with the eagle's attack while looking for an opportunity to approach the ancient tree. He knew that only by successfully obtaining something from the ancient tree could their expedition be considered a true success.
In this way, Xiao Yi, under the attack of the eagle and the troubles of darkness, moved towards his goal with difficulty and determination. His figure appeared lonely and determined in the moonlight, as if he had become a unique landscape in this dark butterfly forest.
Seeing the eagles' desire for the spiritual spring water, Xiao Yi's heart moved. He quickly took out a large bucket of spiritual spring water from the space and carefully placed it on the trunk of the ancient tree. Then, he quietly walked away and hid aside to observe.
Sure enough, after a while, the leading eagle spotted the spiritual spring water on the tree trunk. It slowly flew closer, gently dipped its sharp beak into the water, and tasted it. Its eyes seemed to gleam with satisfaction and joy, and then it let out a loud cry.
Other eagles also flew over and began to peck at the water. They seemed to like the taste of the water very much and chirped happily.
Xiao Yi was delighted when he saw this, knowing that his strategy had worked. He tried to communicate with the leading eagle: "We have nowhere to stay, and we hope to coexist peacefully with you. If you allow us to temporarily live in the ancient tree, we will respect you and will not harm your cubs. At the same time, we will also ensure that others will not attack you. In return, we can provide you with spiritual spring water regularly. Do you think this is okay?"
The leading eagle seemed to understand Xiao Yi's words. It raised its head and stared at Xiao Yi with its sharp eyes for a while. Then, it let out a long cry, as if to discuss with the other eagles.
After a while, the leading eagle looked at Xiao Yi again and nodded, as if to express its agreement. Then, it flapped its wings and flew high, leading the other eagles back to their nest in the tree canopy.
Seeing this, Xiao Yi was overjoyed. He knew that they had been recognized by the eagles and could temporarily take shelter in the ancient tree. He hurried back to the group and told them the good news.
Everyone smiled with joy upon hearing this. They knew that, although this expedition was filled with hardships and dangers, with wisdom and courage, solutions could always be found. And this peaceful coexistence with the eagles had made them deeply appreciate the importance of respecting nature and coexisting harmoniously.
Xiao Yi knew that the peaceful coexistence reached with the eagles was not easy. He solemnly summoned everyone, his eyes firm and powerful: "We have now obtained the permission of the eagles to settle here temporarily. But I want to warn everyone that we must strictly abide by the rules and not harm any eagle or invade their territory."
He paused, his voice sterner. "If anyone is found breaking the rules, they will bear the consequences themselves. We will not be held responsible for their actions. We are a team and must unite to maintain this hard-earned peace."
Everyone nodded, expressing their understanding and acceptance of Xiao Yi's warning. They knew that although this place was temporarily safe, it was not absolutely safe. Only by working together could they get through this difficult adventure.
Xiao Yi then led everyone to a main branch at the top of the tree. This branch was thick and stable, strong enough to support their temporary home. Next to it, branchlets coexisted with rocks, forming a unique landscape.
"We decided to dig some caves in the rocks to live in." Xiao Yi pointed to the rocks next to him and said, "This way we can avoid direct contact with the eagles and use the hardness and stability of the rocks to protect our safety."
Everyone got busy, using their tools to carve a cave into the rock. Although the work was hard, everyone was filled with hope and enthusiasm. They knew that only through their own efforts could they survive in this unfamiliar forest.
As night fell and the last ray of sunlight disappeared into the depths of the Dark Butterfly Forest, the team finally completed the excavation of the cave. Tired but content, they lay down in the cave, feeling the warmth and security brought by the rocks.
"We will definitely get through this difficult time." Xiao Yi looked at the starry sky, his heart filled with faith and determination. He knew that as long as everyone worked together, no matter how many difficulties and challenges lay ahead, they would be able to overcome them one by one.
Everyone brought various tools with them to escape. They originally thought that these tools would be of limited use in forest exploration, but unexpectedly they came in handy when building shelters. Although it was extremely difficult to chisel the rocks with bare hands, everyone worked together and always found a solution to the difficulties.
Someone suggested using fire to burn the rock to make it brittle and easier to cut. This idea was unanimously agreed to. So they lit a fire, heated the rock to a scorching heat, and then extinguished it with water. After repeating this several times, the rock indeed became much more brittle.
