Chapter 47 Paws and ears

Judging from the map left by Ranger Carl to Zhao Mai, the Farmer Forest where the Druid community of the Instagram is located is still quite a short distance from Nebo Town, but Joseph has no intention of hiring a car and riding a horse. Zhao Mai thought that he could not stay here for too long no matter what. If he doesn't, driving in a car can at least save some time.

Unexpectedly, the druid's solution was much better than driving.

As soon as he left Neibo Town, Joseph shook his arms and turned his body around in place, and then turned himself into a giant eagle. This is a giant creature with a wingspan of more than 20 meters. It can directly hunt large creatures such as bison, lift it up with its claws, fly high, then fall to death, and then feast on it. In some film and television works on Earth, there are also scenes of such giant eagles charging into battle.

Watching this huge creature up close will only bring shock to Zhao Mai. Anyone picking a feather from it is like a banana fan, covering it as a quilt is absolutely fine. The huge bird beak can directly penetrate the human body, or cut off the body when it opens and closes up and down. This is a great creature and one of the legends in nature.

Zhao Mai first stuffed the reserved grain into his backpack, and hung it on his chest despite its protest. After that, he happily reached out and wanted to climb onto his back. Joseph's bird head turned around, and his huge brown eyes stared at him. Zhao Mai felt a little furious, pointed to the bird's claws and said, "How about I stay there?"

It is definitely not a good experience to be lifted up and flew to the sky with both claws. In less than three minutes, Zhao Mai vomited all breakfast and other things. This is different from taking a plane. You can also enjoy the scenery outside through the window. There is no seat or seat belt, and air leaks from all sides. Below your body, except for bird claws, there is no sense of security at all.

When birds fly, their torso basically remain unmoved. When their wings are flapping up and down, their heads, tails and claws will move accordingly to maintain the dynamic balance of their whole body. In other words, Zhao Mai is like a boat drifting with the flow, and is still moving up and down. This experience is really too nerve-training, especially Joseph is still constantly increasing his height.

It was estimated that it was close to one thousand meters, because Zhao Mai had clearly felt the cold. Fortunately, the druid did not continue to raise the height to prevent Zhao Mai from becoming a popsicle. It spread its wings and started gliding for a long distance with the help of the airflow. Zhao Mai shrank as much as possible, maintained consciousness of his limbs, and prayed that he could reach his destination as soon as possible.

Looking down from the sky, the earth is all in your eyes. The route of the giant eagle is basically along the west bank of Ashes Lake, so there is always a part of the view that is shining water. Unlike the continuous forest on the east bank of the lake, this side of Ashes Lake is mostly plains and low hills, and the shore is dotted with strings of villages, like a necklace for the beauty of the lake. They pass by two larger towns, one is Garduria and the other is Wolf-ear Town.

Langer Town is located at the northernmost end of Ashes Lake. Here a turbulent water flow called the Oil Smoke River flows into the lake. It is one of the two main water sources of Ashes Lake (the other is injected into the waterfall next to the Viper Cliff Fort). Here we will not describe the origin of the strange name of the Oil Smoke River. We only need to know that after flying over Langer Town, we will reach the sky above the Farmer Forest.

The giant eagle began to dive, and the slight sense of weightlessness made Zhao Mai excited. After more than five hours of straight flight, he had already fallen in love with this feeling. No wonder many people like to fly and glider. It turns out that only after experiencing the wind blew in his ears and clouds blew in his eyebrows can he understand what the real happiness is.

There are no traces of human life in the dense forest, and Zhao Mai is still trying to find the location of the druid community. He widened his eyes and tried to resist the tears caused by the blowing wind, but he could only see the deer scared away by the shadow of the giant eagle and the brown bear roaring angrily into the sky. Even if there were no water droplets on his head, he made a sweat wiping position. How could he not understand after seeing the bear? The forest was full of beasts, and it was impossible to leave without the druid's ability.

The giant eagle continued to descend and soon passed the treetops. It put its wings away, flicked its way through the middle of the canopy, shaking Zhao Mai to the point of dizziness. Just as the poor earthlings were worried that they would be hit by a head-on death on the trunk, Joseph turned back into a human form, and with a wave of his staff, the two of them landed on the ground lightly.

From a high altitude, I would never imagine what it looks like under the trees. A small village is hidden under the dense branches and leaves. The house built with dead branches and straw mats is very small, probably similar to the Eskimo icy houses. One can stuff three or four people into it. Most of the druid communities are like this. Many are covered with a layer of soil outside and then plant beautiful wild flowers to dress up. This is definitely a natural camouflage, no wonder it can be invisible to the sky.

After counting, there were fifteen houses in the field of vision, which means there were thirty or forty people here. There were old people, middle-aged, young people and children here. Especially children, they chased and played, and in a short while they ran over five pairs from Zhao Mai.

"The basic function here is to train and educate young people, so there are more children, and they are protected in the center," said Joseph. "In the forest, there are several such places, which have the functions of planting, feeding and research. In combination, these are our Druid community."

"I'm just learning here, right?"

"Yes, I'll take you to meet the teacher, she taught me back then."

Zhao Mai looked at Joseph's face with suspicion, and no matter how he looked, he looked like he was in his sixties or seventies. When he was in Neibo Town, Joseph still appeared as a middle-aged man, but after returning to the community, he returned to his true form, which was what Zhao Mai saw in his dream conversation. How old would he be to be Joseph's teacher? I guess he had to be close to 100 years old. Can you still teach?

He forgot that in this world, humans can only be considered short-lived races, which only have longer lifespans than orcs, kogmen, and goblins. Following Joseph, Zhao Mai met the first elf he saw, and would also be his teacher: Olaura Celine.

The dark green hair is spread on the shoulders, with fine flowers in the hair, emitting a pleasant fragrance. A pair of pointed ears poked out from the hair, and a pair of pearl earrings hung at the top. This long hair is paired with her delicate and small face, setting off the image of a gentle and pretty woman.

Zhao Mai gestured at the height, and he was more than 1.7 meters tall. The elf woman was shorter than him. However, her slender figure and the right proportions did not make people notice this. On the contrary, it would make people feel a desire to protect. Even if Zhao Mai knew very well that his body would be slapped directly by her, she felt that it would not change because of the contrast of strength.

"Elder Joseph, are you asking me for something?" The elves' common language has a ethereal smell, or the preconceived impression gives her a certain bonus. Ms. Olaura Celine introduced with a smile: "The three apprentices in the Eagle Wing community are all good seedlings. They have made great progress in recent times and should be able to enter the study of natural perception."

"So quickly, I thought they were still consolidating the druid language." Joseph rubbed his eyebrows and said to the elf: "I found a good seedling outside and wanted to send it to you to study. Let him listen to the lectures together, and you will teach him the basics of druid language."

The elves did not object, but asked strangely: "Why not start with cultivating animals and plants?"

"Mc's situation is a bit special. Because of plane travel, the previous druid learning was interrupted." Joseph explained: "He actually has a foundation in caring for animals and plants, just like the apprentices in the Eagle Wing community, so he has put it here."

"Okay, I'll accept him, my name is Mike, right?" Ms. Celine turned her head and said to Zhao Mai: "Do you have any ideas?"
