The four of them were all in a sorry state, but when they reunited with Fimonloa and the others, they found that they were in an even worse state.
Seeing the group looking like beggars, Sang Ning, feeling as if her legs were no longer her own, sat down on the beach, panting, and said, "What did you do to get yourselves in this mess?"
His face was covered in scratches, his clothes were filthy, and the dark circles under his eyes were so thick they resembled those of a panda.
Seriously, with those dark circles under their eyes, they wouldn't even need eye makeup to play a panda.
And hair...
Good heavens, it's a complete mess, like a bird's nest.
"Chirp!"
Just as she was thinking about the bird's nest, a small round ball appeared on the top of Philoloya's head.
This is a small white bird, really small, about the size of a ping-pong ball.
It's all white, with a round and chubby little body, a tiny creamy yellow mouth, and two black bean-shaped eyes, making it look incredibly cute.
The bird circled her head a few times, then found a comfortable position and squatted down again.
Then the bird disappeared, leaving only a small white dot on its head.
Why is there a bird on your head?
Sang Ning was incredibly surprised, while Fimonloya and the others had no way to express their suffering.
“It’s not just Loya, we all have birds on our heads.”
Clyde reached up and touched his head, pulling out a pearl bird and showing it to Sang Ning. Monet and the others were not to be outdone.
Sang Ning fell silent upon seeing this. Very well, it seems everyone has a bird on their head.
Elliott looked knowing. "The Pearl Bird holds a grudge against you."
That's right, this little white bird is called a pearl bird. It's not a protected species; it's just a very common bird.
But their cute appearance makes them very popular with intelligent life.
The zebra finch has consistently ranked first on the list of most popular pet birds.
This little guy is really cute and easy to take care of.
Therefore, market enthusiasm has remained high.
However, while pearl birds are easy to raise, their temperament is truly hard to describe.
Scientific research shows that pearl birds hold grudges, the kind that hold grudges extremely well.
However, their understanding of hatred is quite different from that of intelligent beings. When intelligent beings harbor hatred towards each other, it may be due to affection, love, or self-interest.
It could also be for other reasons; in any case, there are always traces to the hatred between intelligent beings.
Pearl birds are different; they hold grudges for no apparent reason.
Even if you raise them like royalty and treat them the best, they will inexplicably dislike you and hold a grudge against you.
Then, they'll treat your head as a nest, and no matter how you try to drive them away, they won't leave unless you kill them.
But such a cute little thing, no intelligent life would be willing to kill it.
Thus began the era of the pearl bird reigning supreme.
In bustling tourist and residential planets, you can see intelligent creatures with pearl birds on their heads everywhere.
But Sang Ning was unaware of this situation. Upon hearing that these little birds held a grudge against Fimmonloya and the others, she asked in surprise, "How did you offend these little birds?"
"I haven't offended anyone."
Monet was so upset that she burst into tears and sobbed, "We just went into the woods and then we got harassed by this flock of pearl birds."
"Waaaah, if we don't let them nest on our heads, they cry all night long, making so much noise that we can't stop them from crying."
Sang Ning looked at Mu Tao and the others, and they nodded in agreement that Mo Nainai was right.
Emmanuel and the others looked on with sympathy. Sang Ning was quite puzzled. She said with some difficulty, "You can't hear them chirping even if you lock them outside at night. You don't care if they chirp or not, just don't give in."
"Also, if I remember correctly, most birds have straight intestines. How can you tolerate them nesting and defecating on your heads?"
"Pearl birds are clean birds."
Elliott explained, "They don't defecate in the nest. They leave the nest to defecate and come back after they've finished."
There are birds like this?
Sang Ning was puzzled, but showed no sign of it on her face, and asked, "What was that sound?"
"Strong penetrating power!"
Louis then spoke, saying, "The calls of the pearl bird have two different frequencies during the day and at night. During the day, their calls are the same as those of normal birds, but as night falls, their calls become loud and sharp, capable of penetrating thick rocks and reaching places more than a hundred kilometers away."
Sang Ning's expression changed drastically. "So, we'll have to endure the calls of these pearl birds every night from now on?"
The sound could penetrate rocks and travel over a hundred kilometers away. Even without experiencing it firsthand, just imagining it sent chills down her spine.
"That's most likely the case."
Clyde looked dejected and said, "Unless we can bring ourselves to kill them."
"But the pearl bird has a nickname: the emotion radar detection system. It is extremely sensitive to malice, which means that it will fly away the moment an intelligent life shows malice and before you have time to act. It will only come back after it is sure that the malice has disappeared."
Sang Ning understood. She said, "So you went to the forest and brought back a bunch of ancestors."
"There wasn't a group either."
Luo Tianya said somewhat guiltily, "There are only a few on our heads."
Do they like to make noise at night?
If they don't like to chirp, she can tolerate their occasional chirping because they are cute. But if they chirp frequently, then she's sorry, she'll have to find a way to drive them away.
"They love to bark."
Touching the dark circles under her eyes, Philoya opened her listless, sleepy eyes and said, "We haven't had a good night's sleep in over a week."
Sang Ning was truly at a loss. She looked at Emmanuel and the others, "Is there really no way to drive away the pearl birds?"
Emmanuel and the others exchanged glances. "This...this one will do."
"There hasn't been a good solution yet, but I've heard that zebra finches are sensitive to smells."
As soon as Louis said this, everyone looked at him.
"Sensitive to smells? What kind of smells?"
Louis couldn't answer this. He said, "I don't know. I've only heard about it. I can't verify whether it's true or not. I've never seen a live pearl bird before."
There was no chance to meet, and no time to meet.
If he weren't surviving on a deserted planet, he's most likely either on his way to the research lab or busy in his workspace right now.
The pearl bird, with its cute and adorable appearance, is something he can't appreciate, and something he's destined not to be interested in, as it doesn't actually improve his armor-making skills in the slightest.
Sang Ning said "Oh," and stood up, her legs aching and weak with exhaustion. "Let's not sleep anymore. Let's get our things back home first, and then we'll figure out what to do."
"We're here to help!"
Upon hearing this, Fimonloya and the others immediately rushed forward to take the baskets, crates, and other items that Sang Ning and the others had unloaded to help them lighten their burden.
