Chapter 65: One Day's Harvest



After packing up everything, Xu Xin walked to the altar and placed the other offerings in his hands on it. A cold wind blew, and the blood-red color spread again. The blood on the stone pillars with cat statues and wild boar statues climbed up from the bottom, gradually dyeing 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 part of the wild boar statue.

The stone pillar that originally held the rabbit statue was completely stained red with blood. Compared to the patterns on the altar, the patterns on the stone pillar were now as dim as congealed blood. The stone pillar was completely empty, as if to indicate that this part of the sacrifice was complete.

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-patterned rabbit's ear, and was surprised to find that the place had returned to its original appearance. It was still bumpy and full of age, but the deep scratch was gone.

"This altar can repair itself?" Xu Xin swallowed, "Isn't this a living thing?"

Then he shook his head and rejected the idea: "Impossible, impossible, how can a stone be alive?"

But the more he thought about it, the more terrifying it seemed, so he quickly mounted 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 was not idle along the way. After all, no one has 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 in front of 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 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 large bird flew low over the library and was immediately locked onto a heavy crossbow. Because of its speed, the crossbow missed, but it panicked and dodged, falling into the jungle. After dodging several times, it was still pinned to the tree trunk by the crossbow. It struggled hard, but it was useless, only causing more pain and bleeding. Finally, it hung there helplessly.

Xu Xin rode up on his wolf and saw the full view of the large bird nailed to the tree trunk. He was surprised: "Hey, isn't this Eagle Sauce? Is it here 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 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 miserable 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 success may not be guaranteed, it is always a good idea to try if the other party 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 Destiny 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, and with the other hand, he held the heavy crossbow arrow tightly and pulled it out suddenly.

[Kill the bald eagle and gain 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 knew that there were bald eagles active nearby. If he could get a similar contract in the future, he could just tame one and he wouldn'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 Feather (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 too little."

Although a bald eagle is so big and has a wingspan of more than two meters, the bird is really light, otherwise it would not be able to fly.

This one is also relatively larger than those on Earth. Female birds of prey are generally larger, but even female bald eagles generally 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 everywhere 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-quality materials suitable for making weapons.

Several animal skins, well, the animal skins are free, and a blue-grade animal skin was obtained from the blood-patterned rabbit.
