Chapter 425 - Meeting Gongjia Heng Again
The fact that these wild ducks chose to build their nests in the forest near the tribe meant they had accepted and adapted to the environment. Perhaps the fat duck was part of the reason. No matter what, to the tribe, it was not a bad thing.
Now, the daily patrol teams expanded their patrol area to the forest near the tribe. In the past, they would only go there once every two days. Now, they would slip into the forest every day.
The patrol team had another hobby– looking for eggs.
After finding all the different nests, they would bring back the cracked or eggs that had shattered after falling on the ground. If they were edible, they’d eat it, anything else was used as fertiliser for the Thousand Grain Gold. These broken eggs would likely not hatch chicks.
Shao Xuan wanted to check if every egg contained an embryo but when he looked at it against the sun, he could not see anything. These eggs weren’t translucent so he gave up, only telling the rest to bring back broken eggs.
The patrol team were careful not to scare the ducks in the forest too. They usually approached the nests if the ducks had left or they would not go near.
These ducks were very smart, the ones who had their nests amongst tall grass would cover their eggs with grass. At a glance, it did not look like there was a nest here. It was only when a few of the warriors followed the ducks secretly when they discovered the nest.
Compared to the hard working mothers, that bright green, fat duck was living a very carefree life. Of course, it would patrol around the forest. Whenever a wild rat or smaller animals appeared, the ones that it could defeat, it would go into a defensive mode. It could become a battle duck in a second. However, when it saw an animal that it could not beat, it would start screaming. When the warriors on patrol heard its screams, they would rush over to save the ducks.
Clang!
The golden sword made contact with the rock and created a sound that almost pierced their eardrums.
Stone powder flew.
Thud! Grr…
The rock rolled on the ground.
The sword was still perfect, there was no dent.
The rock had a small chip.
Shao Xuan: “…”
Gongjia Heng: “…”
Zheng Luo, Duo Kang and the rest: “…”
I guess… this kind of counts as splitting rock?
