After Ding Sitian's unintentional reminder, everyone remembered that this was not the time for them to chat.
As soon as Hu Ba thought of his doubts on the tree crown, he said directly: "Miss Yang, you are the one who knows the Morse code best among us. Can you translate what this paragraph means?"
Facing Hu Bayi's expectant gaze, Shirley Yang gently shook her head: "Although the current signal is still based on Morse code, it has been encrypted again, and I cannot accurately interpret it. I can only guess a rough meaning."
"If I guess correctly, the new Morse code is a warning signal, and it seems to contain the word death."
"Warning? Death?" Hu Bayi's eyes became more solemn upon hearing this.
Neither term is good news.
Wang Kaixuan said: "Just now it was asking for advice, but now it has become a warning. There must be some connection here."
"Maybe you discovered something while waiting for rescue?" Ding Sitian followed his train of thought and expressed her guess.
Hearing what the two said, Shirley Yang seemed to have thought of something, and asked Chen Ziyan: "Did you find anything else up there?"
It suddenly occurred to her that she hadn't asked them if they had found anything yet.
Chen Ziyan did not hide anything, and immediately briefly explained the experience of himself and others on it: "Just as we had guessed before, the wreckage of a transport plane was indeed found on it, but it must have been at least a few years old. It has been ten years, and there are some well-preserved weapons inside, and we brought them back together, and the only other thing is the eagle owl."
"The wreckage of a transport plane from decades ago?" When Shirley Yang heard this, she felt a chill on her back and subconsciously looked at the thick tree next to her.
The reason why she made the inquiry was to confirm whether there were really survivors of the plane crash here, but now the answer clearly showed that even if there were so-called survivors of the plane crash trapped in the tree, they would not survive. today.
Wang Kaixuan's mind was spinning rapidly on this matter, and he immediately took a few steps back, looking at the tree body that was still making knocking sounds: "Damn it, could it be that Lao Hu, the crow's mouth, really said that?" Hit it!"
After finishing speaking, he looked specifically at Hu Bayi, wanting to get confirmation from him.
Hu Bayi's face turned bitter when he saw this, and he said, "I can't say anything about this."
The next second, he thought of the professional knowledge Chen Ziyan had displayed when he went to the tomb several times before, and quickly asked: "Master Chen, what do you think?"
After several previous expeditions, Chen Ziyan's authority in this area had already been established, so seeing Hu Bayi like this, others also diverted their attention.
Chen Ziyan glanced helplessly at Hu Bayi, who was blaming him, and had no choice but to repeat what he had just said: "Don't worry about whether this is a ghost signal or whether there are undead pilots in it. We are not suitable here either." You can’t stay for a long time, let alone conduct research in the middle of the night, so if you have anything to do, we’d better wait until dawn.”
Although Chen Ziyan's suggestion was very ordinary, it was very practical.
Whether it is Wang Kaixuan, Ding Sitian, or Shirley Yang, a foreign girl who grew up in the United States, they all have a fixed impression deep in their hearts, that is, the undead, fooling around, and the like like to hang out at night. Haunting, on the other hand, sunlight would suppress it, so they immediately agreed to the proposal.
Wang Kaixuan immediately said: "Master Chen is right, we will wait until dawn. By then, no matter if he is a local ghost or not, we can't make him round or flat if we want."
The word "dawn" was like an elixir of enlightenment, instantly giving him great confidence.
Although the two women next to him didn't respond as fiercely as he did, they nodded silently.
Of course, the reason why they had this reaction was not only the fixed impression they had instilled since childhood, but also the relaxed and calm tone when Chen Ziyan spoke was also an indispensable and important factor.
Hu Bayi also reacted at this moment and said hurriedly: "Then don't stay here. Let's go back to the camp first. This tree won't grow legs anyway. Come over and study it carefully until dawn."
A few minutes later.
The group of people returned to the camp much faster than before. When they saw the bonfire that was still burning, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
After what happened just now, no one was in the mood to go to sleep.
A few people simply sat around the fire, watching the dark forest around them, and talking about what they had just discovered.
Chen Ziyan thought that Shirley Yang seemed to know something about eagle owls, so he asked: "Shirley, what do you think we should do to eliminate the eagle owls around here?"
He was just asking casually. It would be great if he could gain something, but even if he didn't, it would be okay.
When Shirley Yang heard this, she couldn't help but frown slightly: "Why do we want to eliminate the Eagle Owl?"
She said she couldn't understand this. Compared to the Eagle Owls, they were just outsiders, and the Eagle Owls here didn't attack them. Why did they think of completely wiping them out?
"Here." Chen Ziyan noticed her doubts, nuzzled at the eagle owl sitting obediently next to the flower fox, and said, "Have you seen the eagle owl over there? If we hadn't reacted quickly enough, we would have been there sooner. I was injured by this guy. If I was seriously injured, it would be a matter of doubt whether I could get out alive."
After deliberately aggravating the threat of the eagle owl, Chen Ziyan continued: "It can be seen that the eagle owl here is not gentle and may attack us at any time. Normally, it's okay to say that if you be careful, nothing will happen. But if we are here At the critical moment, maybe this thing will be the last nail in our coffin."
Even Shirley Yang, who felt a little cruel, couldn't say anything to refute after hearing Chen Ziyan's words.
Some things are like this. Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the eventuality. Compared with their own safety, it is necessary to nip possible dangers in the bud.
Wang Kaixuan responded positively: "Mr. Chen's words make sense. We can't risk our lives with Mr. Wang's organization while guarding against these flat-haired beasts that may appear at any time, right?"
But while saying this, he secretly glanced at the eagle owl, wondering what it would taste like after roasting.
After Ding Sitian was silent for a while, she no longer mentioned cruelty or not, but said: "Creatures like eagle owls generally live together in the form of a group. However, due to fertility, the size of this group is There won’t be too many, but I don’t know if there are any creatures here that can hunt them, otherwise even if the fertility is low, the number of eagle owls here will definitely not be too low.”
Speaking later, she understood Chen Ziyan's worries to a certain extent. If there were a large group of eagle owls living here, it would really not be a good thing for them.
"Quantity... If these eagle owls are also behind Xian Wang's arrangement, then after thousands of years of reproduction..." Hu Bayi did not say the next words, but everyone present understood what he meant.
Even if the fertility is low, but with such a long period of time, it will probably be a terrifying number.
However, compared to their worries, Chen Ziyan shook his head slightly: "The number of this eagle owl group should not be too large."
"Master Chen, what do you say?" Hu Bayi asked.
Chen Ziyan explained: "The activities of this kind of bird are not restricted by the environment, but this creature is not mentioned in the information we obtained, which shows that their valley can meet all the needs of their group. .”
"Furthermore, judging from the human figurines and saber-toothed viper fish we encountered earlier, King Xian is used to setting up chain mechanisms, which can be said to be dedicated to killing with one hit. However, if there is only an eagle owl, it cannot do this. So if this eagle owl is really raised by King Xian, then there must be a creature here that can restrain the eagle owl."
In fact, this latter point is the real reason for Chen Ziyan's judgment.
He knows that the old guy Xian Wang has built the entire Bug Valley into a Feng Shui bureau, so he will definitely not let the Feng Shui bureau created by him to be destroyed, so the overall peace of this valley must be guaranteed. .
What's more, in addition to the ancient creatures, the most numerous poisons in this place are countless poisons, and even the eagle owl cannot resist them all.
"This makes some sense, but if it is true, then this kind of creature that can restrain the eagle owl must be more dangerous." Shirley Yang said.
After saying this, the girl couldn't help but sigh. She had encountered so many things before even arriving at the Worm Valley. She really couldn't imagine what the real Tomb of King Xian would be like.
Ding Sitian saw her worries and consoled her: "This is the real tomb of the princes. Otherwise, how could it be that to this day, no one has been able to open the tomb of Emperor Qin? The wisdom of the ancients cannot be underestimated."
In fact, she didn't say anything. Where did she go? Compared with the imperial mausoleum in the Central Plains, the manpower and material resources that the princes in the border land of King Xian could mobilize were completely different.
Hearing Ding Sitian's words, Shirley Yang felt inexplicably. She thought it should be comforting, but she didn't know how to describe the effect.
Fortunately, she was not a narrow-minded person. She immediately put these things aside, looked at Chen Ziyan and gave her suggestion: "The eagle owl should live on the nearby cliff. If we want to eliminate this threat in one fell swoop, The last chance is to wait until they all return to their nests."
This was the most likely way she thought of it. If it came to that, the Eagle Owl's habits would also be a strategy point that couldn't be ignored.
As long as we can attack all the eagle owls in the nest without alerting the eagle owl group, it is really possible to catch them all.
But this depends on luck, but even if there are a few owls that slip through the net, it won't be a big deal at that time.
"This is a good idea..." Chen Ziyan rubbed his chin habitually.
If Shirley Yang's method was followed, there would be at least a 90% certainty that the Eagle Owl group would be wiped out.
They only need to set up a fire suppression net before the eagle owl reacts, so that no eagle owl can escape.
But there is a problem with this, that is, it is not in line with Chen Ziyan's expectations, and he can only receive one reward.
Moreover, such a large-scale shooting may attract other creatures, which is very likely to happen.
Just when Chen Ziyan was thinking about whether to do this, Ding Sitian suddenly glanced at the eagle owl that had been squatting beside the flower fox and asked, "Can the flower fox command this eagle owl?"
As soon as she said these words, others knew what she had in mind.
Chen Ziyan said with some uncertainty: "I can command it, but Huahu is an eagle owl that has been tamed in a special way. Once it leaves too far or for too long, it is likely to lose control."
On the way back, he also secretly communicated with Huahu, but because Huahu's expression was very vague, Chen Ziyan didn't know the extent of the flaws of this alternative taming.
"Actually, I just thought of a way, but it requires the cooperation of this eagle owl. If there is no way to cooperate, I'm afraid it won't be possible." Ding Sitian's tone was filled with regret, but the doubt in her eyes was faded away.
In fact, she was extremely shocked after seeing the flower fox tame an eagle owl like this.
You must know that among her former colleagues, there are people who are good at domesticating birds, but if they want to train a raptor that can be driven like an arm, the time can be measured in years.
Ding Sitian learned a little bit about it once when she helped prepare medicine, and she knew that there is no quick fix for domestication.
So when she learned that Hua Hu had tamed an eagle owl that she had just met, although her face didn't show it, she was filled with doubts in her heart.
Although the eagle owl is not as difficult to tame as the eagle, it is not something that can be tamed casually.
When I heard Chen Ziyan's words at this time, I immediately felt that it was much more reasonable. If this were the case, it would make sense.
However, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart. With Huahu's skills, it would be much easier to train a raptor than others.
Hu Bayi asked curiously: "Sitian, if you have any idea, put it aside for now and let's talk about it."
When Ding Sitian heard this, she said: "I thought that this method is actually simple. It is to prepare some medicine that can attract birds, then hide it in food or other things, and let the eagle owl take it back to the nest. , then just stun all the eagle owls, and the rest will be easy to handle."
There's really nothing surprising about her method, it's just that she used her own advantages.
"You can really try this method." Hu Bayi looked at the eagle owl next to Huahu thoughtfully.
If they can really do this, then they only need to do the last hit.
Even the last-ditch procedure can be omitted, and Huahu can directly control the eagle owl and throw down the others.
However, Hu Bayi felt that Huahu's control over the Eagle Owl should not be able to reach this level.
So the following thoughts just flashed through his mind, and he subconsciously ignored them.
Chen Ziyan also looked at the stunned Eagle Owl, simulating the success rate of the matter in his mind.
I'm considering whether to take the gamble.
