Chapter 210 Condor Bazooka (Seeking votes and subscriptions)
The largest eagle on earth is the golden eagle. Adult birds can grow to one meter in height and have a wingspan of more than two meters. Among the extinct ancient creatures, the largest eagle is the Argentine giant eagle. Adult birds can grow to more than two meters in height and have a wingspan of seven meters. The largest can even reach more than ten meters, and they are quite long-lived, with a lifespan of 50 to 100 years.
Of course, the giant eagles of the Eagle Tribe are not that exaggerated. The largest eagle they raise is only 1.6 meters in height, and the average height is about 1.5 meters. The wingspan is about five or six meters, which is actually about the same size as a giant goose, but this is a carnivorous bird of prey at the top of the food chain, and the giant goose is just a dish in their menu. "
Crack-crack-
accompanied by a few high-pitched eagle calls, a group of giant eagles with golden heads and tails, covered with golden brown patterned feathers, a row of white flight feathers on the edges of their wings, and black gold beaks and claws, brought their prey of all sizes, one by one, landed on the floating islands of the salt lake.
"Father Da, my Azuka is back. It caught a pony that's bigger than the last prey."
A little boy, only eight or nine years old, took back his eagle and showed off the miniature pony it brought back to his father, the chief, happily. The 'Azuka' he mentioned is the general name given by the Eagle Tribe to all the eagles they raise, which means 'the god who controls the sky'.
"This means that it is growing up like you. You should encourage it more and give it the best meat today." The leader of the Eagle Tribe, 'Rui', said to his son.
"Yes, Father Da." As
the little boy spoke, he started to cut open the miniature pony with a stone knife, fed all the internal organs to his eagle, and gave about half of the horse meat to his eagle, leaving only the limbs and a small half of the meat, and a piece of horse skin.
The relationship between the tribesmen of the Eagle Tribe and Azuka is not a master-servant relationship, but more like a friend or brother, because Azuka has a long life span, generally can live to fifty or sixty years old, can accompany a person throughout his life, usually, one person and one eagle for a lifetime, which is more solid than any sincere and unswerving love.
The little boy watched his Azuka eating food, and carefully combed its feathers, then turned his head to look at the sun that was about to set on the horizon, and asked his father again.
"Father Da, why hasn't Bazuka come back today? It's almost dark."
The Bazuka he was talking about was the eagle raised by the Eagle Chief Rui, and it was also the most powerful eagle in the tribe. It means "God of Gods", which means Eagle King.
呖——As
soon as the little boy finished speaking, a domineering eagle cry came from a distance. The Eagle Tribe's Bazuka came back. It was a unique eagle, nearly 1.7 meters tall, with the same black gold beak and claws, but the main body of its feathers was white, with some bronze fine patterns in between.
The bazooka came back late today, but the prey it brought back was huge. It was a python as thick as an adult's arm, more than ten meters long, and the snake's head had been pecked to pieces by the bazooka's sharp beak.
The bazooka did not land, but dived to a low altitude and dropped the python, then flew up into the sky again, circled in the air for several circles, and finally called loudly twice toward the west before landing on the floating island, waiting for Rui to divide the food for it.
"Father Da, what did the bazooka say?" the little boy asked.
"The bazooka just turned six times and called twice toward the west, which means that six people came from the west. They should come to the salt lake to collect salt again. There is nothing to be surprised about. There are many people who come to collect salt every year."
Rui explained to his son while skillfully dividing the food.
"Father Da, will there be girls coming this time?"
"You little bastard, you're not even as tall as Azuka, and you're already thinking about girls." The Eagle Chief slapped his son on the head and scolded him with a smile.
The little boy covered his head and chuckled twice, but did not refute.
"Let Bazuka see if he can help those people collect salt tomorrow, otherwise the long teeth by the lake will definitely eat them. It's not easy to run so far to collect salt."
"Well, I'll let my Azuka go too." The little boy nodded vigorously. The
Eagle Tribe is very friendly in this regard. They are very happy to help other tribes and often send their own eagles to guide the humans who come to collect salt, or help drive away wild beasts.
Because they are companions with eagles, rely on falcons to get food, and live on floating islands, there are no enemies that can threaten them, so the people of the Eagle Tribe feel that they are superior to others. They are friends and brothers with God, and disdain to be enemies with other humans. Most of them are in a mentality of saving all living beings.
On the second day, the huge bazooka really went to "help" Luo Chong, and it kept hovering over Luo Chong and his group.
"Chief, follow the white eagle, and we can quickly reach the Fairy Lake." The guide said to Luo Chong.
"Follow the eagle? Can it lead the way for us?" Luo Chong asked in surprise.
"Well, it's a sacred bird that lives on the floating island. Every time we collect salt, it will keep watch for us in the sky, and sometimes it will help drive away wild animals." The guide replied.
"So magical? It can really be said to be a sacred bird. In this case, let's go quickly. I'm really getting more and more curious about the floating island. I wonder what else is on it."
As Luo Chong spoke, he patted Huishan's head again, asking it to run faster. The other five people also urged the horned deer under them to speed up.
When the group walked halfway through the morning, Luo Chong saw the herd of zebras from yesterday again. The herd was not small, with nearly 300 zebras. They only started to form a large group near the salt lake because there were many predators here. Only by forming a large group could they resist the predators' attacks.
Luo Chong ignored them because he had already seen the outline of the floating island. It was a huge flat island, not in the shape of a hill. If there was a pointy part, it would be the bottom of the floating island.
It seemed to confirm Luo Chong's conjecture and speculation that the floating island might have really been separated from the land below. The bottom of the floating island was not flat, but uneven, and slightly pointed overall, like a gyroscope or an inverted hill.
After walking for nearly two hours, the floating island appeared in front of Luo Chong. The close observation gave people a huge visual impact. This was a spectacle that Luo Chong had never seen before in his two lives. The flat land floating in the air was as big as 20 to 30 football fields, and it was just floating motionlessly above the salt lake.
