Chapter 505: Eagle Couple
The first thing Lido found when she arrived at the meteorite crater was that there was an uninvited guest here as expected.
It is a high-level magical beast, and a flying magical beast, and the pressure it brings has an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
Ah, I remember now! Didn't Li Duo sense a huge threat from high in the sky when she was at Qingyan City Junior Magic Academy? This is it!
It turned out that it was passing by!
At that time, Lido's strength was not very good, and she was frightened by it so much that she didn't dare to release her mental perception to high altitudes for a long time.
This is a huge bald eagle, but Lido is a little confused. As soon as she saw the airflow wrapped around its body, she knew that it was a wind-type magical beast. The magic elements here in the meteorite crater are all water-type magic elements, which are useless to it. What is it doing occupying this place?
Moreover, since it had been active in this area in the past, with its eagle-like eyesight and sensitivity to threats from other high-level magical beasts, it should not be difficult for it to discover that one of its favorite foods - the magical snake - lived here.
Since it was not seen causing trouble for the monster snake at the beginning, it means that it cannot defeat the monster snake.
Indeed, the aura of the bald eagle is a bit weaker than that of the demon snake.
Now, the magic snake has long become the nourishment for Lido's growth. Does the bald eagle occupy this place only because of the high concentration of magic elements here?
But being in an environment with magical elements other than its own would probably not be very comfortable, right? Didn't you see that its nests were all built on the cliffs away from the pool?
What exactly is the reason that makes it willing to endure the uncomfortable environment and build its nest here?
The mystery was soon solved.
Lido's arrival startled the bald eagle in the nest, but it did not fly up into the sky immediately. Instead, it continued to stay in the nest and spit wind blades at Lido from a distance.
Lido was discovered by the bald eagle when she was flying to the top of the meteorite crater using light skills. The wind blades came so fast and so many that Lido could only avoid them and dodge them. She quickly landed in the meteorite crater, where she was greeted by huge wind blades chasing after her.
Lido hurriedly dodged again. The wind blade did not fall on Lido, but it split the meteorite crater into pieces.
If the bald eagle flew high into the sky and escaped, Lido would really have no way to deal with it, but it stayed in the nest without moving. While Lido dodged the wind blades, she also unceremoniously released wind blades at it in return.
So the offense and defense changed, and it became that Lido continuously released wind blades towards the bald eagle, and the bald eagle continuously spit out wind blades to offset them in order to protect its own nest.
But this made Liduo even more curious. Why would the bald eagle rather be beaten than move? What was it protecting?
Just as Lido was thinking this, the bald eagle let out a long eagle cry, and not long after, another equally huge flying monster appeared in front of Lido. It was a fish eagle with a big fish in its mouth.
However, that fish eagle was just a mid-level magical beast.
The moment the fish eagle appeared, it discovered the crisis faced by the bald eagle, immediately spat out the big fish in its mouth, and flew towards the nest. It seems that these two flying monsters are a pair of partners.
But they are of different species, so how did they fall in love with each other?
But it is understandable. It is not easy for two magical beasts to appear in the same group, and the difference in levels cannot be too great. It is good enough for the bald eagle to find a partner like the fish eagle, which is not much different in size and only slightly lower in level.
I think with the help of magic, the difference between eagles and vultures is not very obvious, and there should be no reproductive isolation between them.
There is indeed no reproductive isolation. After the fish eagle flew into the nest, the bald eagle immediately flew towards Lido while spitting out wind blades. At the moment it took off, Lido found that there were two eggs under it. It turned out that the bald eagle did not move out of the nest because it was incubating eggs!
I just don’t know which one is the male and which one is the female. It’s obvious why they chose this place as their nest.
The fish eagle is a water-based magical beast, and the two eggs are likely to have an affinity for water magic elements. Therefore, hatching them in an environment rich in water magic elements will help improve their natural qualifications, and the fish eagle will also be able to grow faster by practicing here.
As a high-level magical beast, the bald eagle would definitely not just randomly find a bird-like magical beast of similar size and level as a mate. The qualifications of the fish eagle should be very good, and it has the potential to grow into a high-level magical beast. It is even possible that its natural qualifications are higher than those of the bald eagle.
Otherwise, it doesn't make sense that the eggs laid by the bald eagle, which is at a higher level, would inherit the water affinity of the fish eagle.
Of course, it is also possible that both eggs inherited the bald eagle's affinity for wind and the fish eagle's affinity for water, but it would be extremely difficult to find a gathering place for wind magic elements comparable to this place.
What's more, places with strong wind magic elements are bound to be surrounded by hurricanes and have harsh environments, just like the strong wind layer next to the stone peaks and cliffs in the center of the Hengduan Mountains.
Perhaps as a high-level magical beast with an affinity for wind, the bald eagle would be at an advantage in such a place, but it would be a bit difficult to build a nest in such an environment.
Moreover, as a water-based monster, the fish eagle can fly, but it probably cannot survive in such an environment, not to mention the cubs that are just two eggs.
However, the bald eagle and the fish eagle used the meteorite crater as a place to build their nests and raise their offspring, which happened to be a problem for Lido!
There is no way that Liduo would give up this natural place that is suitable for her retreat and cultivation. Without the pool of water in the meteorite crater, Liduo's future cultivation would be in big trouble. And it is even more impossible for the bald eagle and the fish eagle to give up!
Although it is not easy for large bird monsters like eagles and eagles to raise offspring, and it is pitiful for the two eggs to lose their parents before they even hatch, Lido still plans to give the bald eagle and fish eagle a ride.
There's nothing we can do. It's because they have such good eyesight that they chose this place. Now it's right in the muzzle of Lido's gun.
Having made up her mind, Lido had no intention of letting the bald eagle and the fish eagle, the ill-fated couple, go.
First, eagles and eagle-like monsters are extremely vengeful. If Lido just drives them away instead of killing them, she will definitely be harassed by them from time to time in the future. Then, should Lido still continue to practice?
Another thing is that by killing them, Lido can obtain a large amount of monster meat. High-level materials are still secondary. On the contrary, high-level monster meat is crucial to Lido's future training. So from this aspect, Lido has no reason to miss the bargain that is delivered to her door.
With Lido's current strength, it is no problem for her to deal with both the bald eagle and the fish eagle at the same time. Her only concern is that they might fly high into the sky and escape when they see that things are not going well.
However, the presence of those two eggs should make them cautious and hesitant, and they will not abandon their offspring with great difficulty and run away when they see the situation is not good. This increases Lido's chances of capturing them.
