Chapter 186 Chalk Bird! (4K)

“The signal is unstable…”

“Signal interrupted!”

Xia An stared at the black remote control screen in silence, his eyes twitching. He didn’t expect that robot dog No. 2 would lose contact like this.

The cave is very large. After all, a giant snake tens of meters long can plunder enough food here, which means that the ecosystem of the cave world is quite large and complex.

Therefore, after the robot dog started exploring, the problem of communication distance became prominent.

But the commercially produced dogs can go down to the cave world to explore, and their overall performance has exceeded expectations, and we can’t ask for more.

Xia An sighed and sent out robot dog No. 3.

This time, the exploration focused on testing the communication distance, and then conducting a carpet exploration within the measured communicative area to organize the layout of this area into a map.

Xia An spent two days on this, during which time he lost dogs No. 3 and No. 4 due to signal interruption, until dog No. 5 successfully completed the detection mission and returned to the beach base covered in wounds.

In the base.

The expanded personal room is equipped with a computer.

Xia An used mapping software to create a map of the area.

“The lava riverbed where level 46 ruby ​​crabs live.”

“A group of level 3 magma rats. Although the individual levels are not high, their numbers are terrifying and can form a rat tide. That’s how dog number 4 was drowned…”

Here, Xia An paused and noted:
“There are multiple ‘snake paths’ nearby, proving that the magma rats are one of the giant snake’s food sources.”

The sight moved downwards and stopped at a circled area next to the rat colony’s habitat:

“Stalactite jungle and lava lizard tribe.”

Then, he used the mouse to draw a red exploration route that bypassed the stalactite jungle, Xia An’s eyes flickered.

“The terrain in this area is complex, and the lava lizards have keen senses. Dog No. 5 was detected from a distance and was almost caught up.”

His eyes followed the red line markings and moved to an unknown area without any words or markings.

After a little hesitation, his expression gradually became firm.

“It’s time for that exploratory dog ​​provided by the association to go out!”

Nearly two hours later.

Following the absolutely safe route that had been clearly explored, the association dog came to the junction of the detection map and the unknown area.

Xia An saw that the image on the remote control screen was still stable, with no intermittent signal interruptions, and he breathed a sigh of relief: “Cretaceous bird larva… where are you?”

During the following exploration, Xia An was extremely nervous.

There is only one dog in the association that can transmit images over long distances. If it explodes during the exploration, it means that the exploration will have to be terminated.

Unless he becomes a powerful High-Sequence Person in a short period of time, and is not afraid of the various monsters in the cave world, he can personally go and explore in the flesh.

The dogs of the association were walking on a red land that seemed to have no end.

suddenly!

A bare tree appeared in the robot dog’s field of vision. It had no green branches or leaves and its branches were gray.

When the dog approached, Xia An’s breathing became slightly rapid.

It turned out to be an unknown fruit tree!
On the branches, bunches of fruits similar to grapes hang.

Each “grape” looks like a lava gem, and even emits hot mist that is visible to the naked eye.

“Crack…”

Xia An took out his mobile phone, took a photo of the high-definition image on the remote control screen, and searched for the food illustrations on the igo app.

Unexpectedly, the igo application froze and a prompt message that had never been seen before popped up.

【Discover ‘unknown ingredients’! 】

[Do you agree to the privacy terms, provide more food information, and allow igo official authority to participate in the identification? ]

Xia An immediately nodded “no”.

If he agrees to the privacy terms, the coordinates of the points and the volcanic island he holds may be exposed.

In order to prevent the “backstage” from stealing personal data, Xia An has learned to keep it confidential. He only has the igo application installed on his new phone, and he has to format it and restore it to factory settings before and after each round trip.

“Unknown ingredients?” Xia An pondered and felt that he should be able to find records of the ingredients in the pile of books left by Senior Tang Meijun.

Moreover, these high-level rare tree fruit ingredients often have guardians!
Xia An once suffered a loss from [Earth Berries].

The drone was destroyed by a breath of a powerful unknown dragon beast.

then.

I didn’t even have the thought of stealing the fruits.

Quickly control the association’s dog to stay away from this bare fruit tree on the red land.

as predicted.

When the trees are shrinking in size and are almost invisible.

“Wow–“

A huge head suddenly emerged from the soft red soil. It was an unknown giant insect. It looked around and then slowly disappeared into the ground.

Oh shit, is there really a Sixth Brother?

Xia An’s eyes twitched wildly and he couldn’t help but complain. If he had a simpler mind and went out to explore and adventure in his physical body, he would not even know how he died.

Avoid unknown fruit trees.

The association’s dog continued to advance in the red wasteland for more than an hour.

Xia An, who was sitting on a lounge chair in front of the beach base, shuddered all over and stared at the remote control screen.

Suddenly, a pyramid appeared on the screen!

“Why is there a pyramid here?” Xia An muttered, not caring about the potential danger, and let the association dog move forward at full speed.

soon.

The dog came to the wonder of the pyramid.

At the same time, the exterior details of the pyramid are presented in high-definition images. It can be seen that its bricks and stones are already very dilapidated, with an obvious sense of age.

Xia An was silent for a long time, and many speculations flashed through his mind.

such as.

The volcanic island was actually once part of the first continent in the food world, but it was separated from the land plate due to a major change like moving mountains and filling the sea.

Another example.

There was once an ancient civilization on the volcanic island, but now only a pyramid remains…

At this time.

“Woo——”

A weak but sharp cry, like a cry, came from the crumbling door of the pyramid.

Xia An heard the voice and his face changed slightly:
“Birds chirping?”

“The chalk bird, could it be that they are kept in there?”

Oh My God.

If you use ancient relics as a “birdcage”, this operation is very cool and breathtaking.

The Cretaceous Bird might be inside, and even if the association’s dog was scrapped on the spot, it would be a worthy death.

Xia An didn’t hesitate and let the robot dog rush in.

Da da da……

The strong light illuminated the interior of the pyramid ruins.

A big bird lying on the ground appeared in the dog’s field of vision.

It has antlers on its head, a head that is like a bird or a dragon, a long neck, and wings that are elegantly folded on both sides of its body. Its long tail, covered with pure white feathers, is curled up on the ground, and perhaps because it has sensed the visitor, it is shaking with a little excitement.

“so beautiful!”

Xia An exclaimed that if this big bird stood up in good health, with its elegant and white appearance, people might mistake it for a giant white dragon.

The name Cretaceous probably comes from the hybrid characteristics of this dragon and bird.

I used the igo app to take the photo and confirmed again and again that it was indeed a white crested bird.

call.

Exhale gently.

The thumb pushed the joystick of the remote control in his hand, allowing the association’s dog to approach the big bird, which was about three or four meters long.

The chalk bird opened its eyes, and its pupils, which were obviously full of intelligence, stared straight at the robot dog.

Until it was confirmed that this was a “dead thing” without any breath of life.

Its eyes suddenly turned dim.

The feeling of seeing hope and then immediately feeling disappointed shows that it has great wisdom.

Xia An clicked his tongue.

OK, this “mountain guardian beast” has been figured out.

Before, he was afraid that the Cretaceous Bird was a fool, no different from those ferocious beasts out there that were used as food and had no intelligence.

But now seeing with my own eyes, it is clear that its intelligence is no less than that of the Silverback.

“Why are you so weak?”

Let the dog circle around the crouching white bird twice.

what.

Xia An found some food residues scattered on the ground nearby. After zooming in, he identified them as withered petals or a small piece of plant rhizome. They were so dry that they seemed to break if touched.

Eat plants?
Are you a vegetarian?
He vaguely understood why Senior Tang Meijun planted so many flowers and plants in the crater pasture. But since Senior had been gone for many years, it was impossible for this chalk bird to always eat fresh plants.

How did the chalk bird survive?

“Perhaps there is some kind of ‘feed’ with highly concentrated energy and very high level!”

Xia An was confident and asked the dog to conduct a carpet search. Sure enough, he found a pile of debris in the corner of the pyramid’s interior space.

In fact, there are several kinds of residues similar to “fruit peels” in this mass of stuff.

One type emits a faint golden light, but its actual base color is scarlet red.

The second.

The skin is colorful, psychedelic and poisonous, which makes people afraid.

“After taking these ‘peels’ back, can we identify the original ingredients?”

Xia An was very interested and controlled the dog to extend its mechanical claws.

Fortunately, these “peels” were obviously torn from huge fruits and were large pieces, making them easy to pick up and load, and they would not fall off during the bumps on the return journey.

About two hours later.

Wow!

The sound of drone blades rang out from above the beach base.

The association’s dog was firmly placed on the ground.

Xia An couldn’t wait to go forward and try to use the “data eye” to pull the panel. After a long period of no response, he sighed and shook his head to give up. He put on gloves and put the two “fruit peels” into sealed food boxes.

As for who to ask for appraisal, he had decided to ask Tsuyoshi Higashino and Senzaemon Nakiri.

Both are authoritative enough.

Higashino Tsuyoshi’s status may be a little lower in comparison, but he is quite reliable. Recently, Xia An asked him to help with import and export, and the relationship has become familiar.

Unplug the association’s dog and charge it.

Xia An sent a message to Dongye Gang, leaving one of the food boxes and asking Dongye Gang’s people to come to the warehouse to pick up the goods.

Xia An took the other box back to the Nakiri residence.

“Commander-in-Chief, I have something that I would like you to help me identify.”

Xia An found the white-haired old man who was leisurely drinking tea in the teahouse, explained his purpose, and took the initiative to open the box.

“puff–“

Unexpectedly, Senzaemon sprayed tea on the spot, and his hand holding the teacup began to tremble.

Xia An: “???”

Senzaemon looked at the confused young man in silence: “Didn’t you notice the strong fluctuation of gourmet energy?”

Seeing Xia An shaking his head.

Senzaemon was even more speechless: “I forgot, you haven’t decided which cell sequence to take, and you don’t have any gourmet cell energy in your body yet!”

No, Commander, I do have one…

Xia An complained inwardly.

【One Hundred Thousand Foods】is not just for show, it turns his body into a container of food energy.

But he is not a Sequencer after all, so it is normal that he cannot sense the energy fluctuations.

“The origin of this dandruff must be extraordinary.” Senzaemon narrowed his eyes and looked at the food box.

Xia An couldn’t help but ask: “Even you, the commander-in-chief, want to call it an extraordinary ingredient?”

Senzaemon chuckled twice and looked away:

“I think even the IGO archives do not include any information about this ingredient.”

What?
Xia An couldn’t remain calm and asked, “Is it too rare, or is it too high level?”

As soon as these words came out, Xia An complained about his own nonsense literature.

In the food world.

Rarity is one of the two major variables that determine the level of ingredients.

Senzaemon smiled without saying anything, poured a cup of tea for Xia An, and then poured himself a cup. After drinking a cup of hot tea with a smile, he suddenly said something shocking:

“It’s close to level 100!”

“puff–“

This time, it was Xia An’s turn to spray tea.

Nearly a hundred levels of ingredients!

That means the “feed” left by Tang Meijun is indeed high in energy. No wonder it was able to support the young Cretaceous bird to survive for so long and grow into an adult.

Xia An did not doubt Senzaemon’s judgment.

Putting aside Senzaemon’s status, just the background of the previous generation of dragon chefs in the Nakiri family’s treasury is enough to give Senzaemon an extraordinary vision.

Wait for Xia An to leave the teahouse after thinking about it.

Senzaemon put down his teacup, looked at his departing figure, and said to himself in a voice that could be blown away by the wind:

“Is this the nearly 100-level food residue obtained from Dong Ye Gang?”

……

Half a day later.

A seaside mansion in Odawara City, Kanagawa Prefecture.

Dongye Gang checked the food box that someone brought back from Tokyo. He was stunned for a while because the cellular energy dissipated when he opened the box:

“Is this the nearly 100-level food residue obtained from the Nakiri family?”

Afterwards, with a fanatical look on his face, Higashino Tsuyoshi put on protective gloves and brought the colorful, seemingly poisonous dandruff and residues in the box to the food research laboratory.

……

Let Higashino Tsuyoshi and Senzaemon study it.

It doesn’t matter even if the original ingredients are not identified. Xia An’s move is just a one-shot attempt.

“The chalk bird has probably been starving for a long time due to lack of food.”

Testing for the condition is simple.

Just make a delicious dish and serve it to them and you will know.

“Let’s make ‘Golden Bread’.” Xia An hammered his hands and quickly decided on the recipe for feeding the chalk bird.

Skillful.

The core ingredient of the recipe “Golden Bread” is golden wheat!

You know, Senior Tang Meijun planted an acre of golden wheat in front of her cottage. Perhaps this was one of the ingredients she fed herself.

There is still some golden wheat in stock, and there is no need to worry about the transportation capacity of the association’s robot dog. Hundreds of kilograms of food can be easily carried to the steep mountains.

Shortly after.

The association’s dogs set out again.

Only this time, a sealed food box was fixed on the dog’s back.

In this way, there is no need to worry about the smell leaking along the way and attracting various ferocious monsters.

“arrive.”

The weak Cretaceous Bird opened its eyes slightly, glanced at the cold and lifeless dog, and prepared to close its eyes again to fall asleep and reduce its metabolism.

A strange fragrance suddenly came, filling the entire space inside the pyramid.

Seeing the chalk bird was obviously stunned for a moment on the high-definition screen, Xia An couldn’t help but smile: “Eat it, just eat it, we are here to feed you, no need to thank me.”

slam-la-

The chalk bird suddenly stood up and spread its wings, its posture was white and elegant.

Its eyes were full of surprise and excitement.

Make a cheerful chirping sound.

The dragon-like and bird-like head approached the already wide-open food box on the robot dog’s back, picked out a “golden bread” that was still slightly steaming, chewed it, and swallowed it quickly.

“Ouch!!”

After eating the 100% perfectly made bread, the chalk bird seemed to have tasted a familiar flavor, its eyes became moist, and its cry revealed a sense of attachment and calling.

Xia An stroked his chin and thought:
“Well, these recipes created by Senior Tang Meijun, especially those using fruits and vegetables or crops, are not all for feeding the chalk birds?”

Not surprising.

Several ingredients of nearly grade 100 are used as highly concentrated energy “feed”.

The corners of Xia An’s mouth twitched slightly.

It’s really…very unnatural, humans are not as good as birds!

The food box was filled with 100% perfectly made golden bread. Xia An let the chalk bird enjoy it happily. He asked the robot dog to put the box down, and then controlled the dog to continue exploring the interior of the mysterious pyramid ruins.

Lights shine on the wall.

The murals and the mysterious and profound words made Xia An let go of the joystick of the remote control.

at the same time!

A prompt message suddenly popped up on the Kitchen God panel.
