Bird Battle
The world of immortals and heroes has always been recognized as a tricky little world.
Because there are so few small worlds with connotation and value, most of the fairy-tale small worlds are just covered with the shell of a grand narrative, while the actual plot only revolves around the love affairs of the protagonists, giving people a sense of restraint as if they were in love without caring about the life and death of others.
Especially when the audience begins to empathize with the mortals in this world, all the exaggerated settings in the original works become original sins.
Comparing looks and partners? Fighting against each other for the opposite sex? Using living things to please your partner?
...No, what are these!
If you can be an immortal, do it well. Get out of the immortal world if you are in love!
In order to distinguish them from the serious and structured world of immortal heroes, the audience affectionately gave these small worlds filled with love-minded people another name, the world of immortal dolls.
As the name suggests, it is an idol drama starring gods.
Today, another fairy world is about to face the audience's judgment.
The audience came in droves.
【I'm ready to start spraying. 】
[The introduction has all the elements, including the female competition, sadomasochism, and melodrama... I suspect that this live broadcast room is just to provoke us. No matter what kind of beauty is in it, I will not be convinced. ]
[Uh ah ah there are multiple branch lines, is the feeling of stomachache still wholesale? 】
[What? Killing an entire clan just to pursue a lover. Isn't this a villain? Damn it! ]
Amid the audience's condemnation, the live broadcast footage finally emerged.
Just one glance and the audience was silenced.
The crane with a slender neck raised its head, its wings erected, and the whole crane bent into a soft and elegant arc.
A loud and high-pitched cry emanated from its narrow and pointed beak and lingered for a long time.
"Oh--"
It was like the opening speech of a grand ball.
The next second, the camera suddenly pulled away, and accompanied by the sound of flute and piano, many different scenes flashed across the screen rapidly.
Or the reed fields at sunset, where the graceful birds, still or moving, are only silhouettes in the sunset, like an ink painting;
Or beside a quiet lake in autumn, a bird with a slender neck preens its feathers and stands up after its lovebird returns, what a loving couple;
Or in the endless sky, birds flying in groups of two or three spread their wings, and the tips of their wings are smudged with deep black, as if they were stained with ink.
And the heaven and earth are decorated with them.
The beauty of nature and the beauty of cranes were displayed to the viewers unreservedly in these few short seconds. The impact was so great that even the audience forgot to comment.
But the beauty of cranes goes far beyond this.
"Oh--"
Another crane cry.
The camera returns to the protagonist at the beginning.
The crane with a bright red head is the red-crowned crane.
It almost satisfies all people's fantasies about fairies. Just standing in the snow, it looks like a carefully carved ink painting.
The dark white flight feathers at the ends trembled slightly in the wind, and each feather was almost distinct, looking extremely soft and pure.
Then, it moved again.
Bend down, spread your wings, raise your head...
It is a rare crane dance.
Only by seeing it with your own eyes can you understand why the red-crowned crane is called the fairy crane, and how captivating that little bit of red in the black and white ink painting is.
Then, all the cranes that had appeared before began to dance, as if following the footsteps of the fairy crane.
The audience was silent for a long time, until the picture and BGM ended, then they started to post comments in a daze.
[Aaaaaah, I just saw Wonderland!!]
[So beautiful, so beautiful, so beautiful, I am completely at a loss for words, I can’t wait to watch it again!! ]
[Mom, I saw a fairy! How could there be such a fairy-like animal! ! ]
[Red-crowned crane! The national bird in my heart! So beautiful! 】
It was not until several comments filled with exclamation marks were posted that the audience vaguely realized that something was wrong.
Didn’t you say you were going to see the fairy dolls?
How did it become a mix of birds?
When I was in doubt, the narrator spoke slowly:
"What I just saw is the fairyland."
"There are countless fairies with stunning looks, and just looking at them is enough to make one dizzy."
"And the fairy in white with a little sand between her eyebrows, who is particularly cold and noble, is the white moonlight recognized by the fairy world."
Audience: …
Wait a moment? !
[What? What? The narrator just spoke? ? ]
[Immortal world? What immortal world? I was on the wrong channel just now? ? ]
[What I mean is... the red-crowned crane is the white moonlight in the introduction, so are the various cranes we just saw all the immortals in the immortal world? ]
[Ahhh, is it set up like this?! My head hurts so much, I really want to grow a brain...]
[Although, it suddenly makes sense... Cranes are so fairy-like, and many birds are very beautiful...]
In order to help the audience whose worldviews were shaken accept the novel setting of the live broadcast room, the narrator kindly led everyone to browse some small clips from the original work.
Narrator:
"When one's cultivation reaches a certain level, one will become extremely beautiful, so all fairies in the fairy world are of peerless beauty."
In the camera, there are a group of male birds whose beauty is brought to the extreme.
Those heading towards the cooler direction are undoubtedly the red-crowned cranes and the oriental white storks.
One is a fairy among birds, the other is a gentleman among birds. Black and white are the main colors that make up their bodies. Wherever you look at them, it's like a landscape painting, which makes people dare not disturb them.
Various chubby passerines are competing fiercely in the cute direction.
There are long-tailed tits that look as clean and cute as rice dumplings, bluebirds with pale blue feathers that look like porcelain, and even colorful warblers with colorful feathers...
If you want to see those curled in the gorgeous direction, just look at the Golden Pheasant.
Extremely rich and bright colors gather on the body of a bird, which is so gorgeous and beautiful that when it flaps its wings, people may wonder if they have seen the legendary phoenix.
There are various styles...
The audience couldn't bear to watch it.
[Slow down! Switch slowly! What was that just now? It's so beautiful! Help me! Such long and flowing tail feathers, it's a fairy! ! ]
[Fuck, how come this bird still has eyelashes? How come it is so delicate? Help me, what is this? ! ! Is it because it secretly applies mascara at night to make its eyelashes so curled? ! ]
[This blue is so beautiful, how can they grow feathers like this? Have they really never dyed it? ]
[Is this an eagle? So handsome with red eyes... Even in the fairy world, it must be a martial god or something like that, hiss.]
[Hahahaha, little Shrike, although cute, it is very fierce! ]
[Wait, I noticed a blind spot. These beautiful birds are all males, right?]
After the last barrage appeared, the audience fell into an eerie silence.
Of course, nature needs to take care of the males who are trying to court mates, so in terms of appearance, most males are good-looking.
As for those situations where they go to great lengths to eliminate competitors and even fight with the same sex, these usually only happen between males.
…Is there anything wrong with that?
No problem!
[Great! Male-male competition is the normal law of nature! ]
[Okay, okay, the original story of several fairies scheming and framing a man is really unreasonable!! But here it is the natural law of reproduction, so it is normal, hahaha. ]
[That’s very correct, haha. The curly appearance is also very normal. After all, birds are like this ()]
[It’s so funny. We were complaining earlier that the original characters were all about love, but what do the birds know? Courting during the breeding season is a normal thing, and it’s not about love! ]
[Speaking of which, those strange plots...]
As if seeing the audience's guess, the narrator naturally introduced some interesting things about the "immortal world":
"The fairy world has always been peaceful. What deserves attention is the disputes between some fairies."
"Today, a great immortal will destroy all the evil spirits for the sake of his beloved's smile!"
Under normal circumstances, the audience would definitely find fault with it.
If you say it is an evil spirit, then it is an evil spirit?
Is there no innocent person in this family?
You are a hypocritical love-brained person, you are not worthy of being a fairy, get out! !
But now, the audience who have accepted the setting of this live broadcast room are ready to go and are looking forward to the actual development.
The camera switched and arrived at a plain.
On a green leaf full of vitality, there are a few green locusts lying.
In the treetops in the distance, a cold little figure was staring at them.
After a moment, it moved.
The little bird was so ferocious and decisive that it didn't match its size. It reached the locusts almost instantly, grabbed the prey, flew off, and then nailed it to the sharp thorns on the treetop.
Its movements were so fast and decisive that the other locusts didn't even have time to react before they were impaled on the spikes on the tree one after another by the bird.
After making sure that no fish had escaped the net, the ferocious bird called it a day with satisfaction and leisurely landed back on the treetop where the incense was.
Red-backed shrike is a voracious eater.
However, no matter how greedy it is, it would not catch so much. The little shrike worked so hard just for another bird on the treetop.
"Bang Bang!"
In the distance, a female shrike chirped happily, constantly expressing her intimacy and affection.
“Hoo! Hoo——!”
The male shrike, which had behaved ferociously just now, now chirped loudly as if to show off, and jumped around on the treetops, making sure that the female bird had come to eat before flying away satisfied.
The fact that the shrike hangs the carcasses of its prey on the treetops has earned it the nickname "the butcher among birds", but this is actually a necessity for survival.
After all, only when birds are high in the sky can they avoid being contaminated by the air and water on the ground and eat safely, and this ability is also an important assessment indicator for birds' courtship.
It's all life.
[What's wrong with a little bird pecking at a bug?]
[Is this evil spirit a locust? It’s a pest! Even from a human perspective, I have to say that the little shrike did a great job, hahaha. ]
[So cute!! As expected, the high blood pressure plots become very reasonable when they turn into birds. The birds are just pampering their wives~]
The plot in the new context was well received. Some viewers finally raised questions about the "little raptor" Shrike, which looked cute but was actually ferocious.
[Hey, if this is the background, who is the protagonist? ]
[There is a crane in front and a golden pheasant behind. The protagonist can't be too lame, right? ]
[The introduction mentioned some ancient bloodline... Could it be some ancient bird? ]
As if to answer the audience's questions, the camera switched to another place.
Then, the audience was stunned.
New birds appear...
Uh, it doesn't look like a bird at all. It's gray and looks like a little quail.
It forms a sharp contrast with the various birds mentioned above, which are either ethereal or gorgeous.
The narrator spoke seriously:
"At this time, our protagonist is still a child."
In the camera, the protagonist, suspected to be a little quail, was pecking at food on the ground. From time to time, it would stop and tilt its head, looking dazed.
Because the camera was quite close, even though there was an adult next to it, the audience could only vaguely see its feet and could not really tell what kind of creature it was.
“Meow—meow!”
Especially when the "little quail" opened its yellow sharp beak, a sound like a cat's meow was heard in the picture, which was even more confusing.
Audience: ? ?
[No, what is this? ? ]
[Uh, uh, an ordinary protagonist? Actually, I like this, but I just saw so many beautiful birds and my mind is so wrong...]
[Hahaha but this cry is so cute, like a kitten! ]
[Ah? Are you serious? You really don't recognize what this is? That's not what it's called.]
[Hmm? What? I don’t know much about birds… let alone their chick stage.]
"boom--"
There seemed to be a sound coming from the sky. The little fellow who was originally looking for food obediently was startled and ran away in a panic.
It is at this time that the camera slowly pulls away to reveal the truth.
The gray little fellow chirped and hid under an umbrella.
And that "umbrella" is actually a lush green peacock tail with iridescent circles.
Like an extremely gorgeous skirt.
——It’s a green peacock.
Little Peacock: So scary, hiding under daddy’s skirt (bushi)
The little peacock also makes the normal chirping sounds of a little bird, but this cat's meow is that of a big peacock, mainly to create a show effect ()
The description in the first version was misleading, so I changed it here.
Don't worry about it not being finished. Including this world, it is expected to end in three worlds.
The remaining two worlds need to be carefully selected... The extra chapter will briefly write about the underwater world, and a killer whale is reserved!
