Fairy Ocean Fireworks

Just when Xinyi was about to take out the camera and take pictures.

"Yah, ah, ah -"

Several long roars were heard, and two swift figures swung from the tree canopy in the distance.

There are two more hyperactive apes, are they also from this group?

Xinyi and Chengxia looked over curiously. The two hyperactive apes that were approaching quickly looked much older than the previous two hyperactive apes. Their fur was slightly dull, and the tuft of hair on their heads was also darker red. that color.

Huh?Is there more behind? .

I saw two swaying apes when they were about 30 meters away from here, they stopped, turned around and shouted towards the back.

At this time, Xinyi and Chengxia noticed that there were seven or eight lazy men behind them. Like hyperactive apes, they used their ancestral claws to hook onto branches, and then swung their long arms. Swing to the next tree.

However, the movements of the lazy men swinging the tree are still slow and leisurely, which is in line with their temperament. However, the movements are slow, but very coordinated, and have a natural beauty of power.

One minute later, two new hyperactive apes and seven or eight lazy apes came to the woods. The hyperactive apes and lazy humans who were originally here had already stood up to greet their companions who had just returned.

It seems that they belong to the same tribe.

1, 2, 3...

Xinyi counted them carefully and confirmed that there were four hyperactive apes and thirteen lazy men in this small group.

This is a typical size of a small group of Lanrenweng. The Lanrenweng tribe is accustomed to living in groups, and the number of small groups is generally five to twenty.

A lazy man group with more than thirty members is a medium-sized group, and the probability of the hyperactive ape in the group evolving into a leave king will increase significantly.

For example, on the distribution map of the Lazy Man population that Xiao Mao provided to the two of them, only a medium-sized population of more than thirty individuals was recorded, so this small population was not marked on the map.

But are they a group that has lived here for a long time, or did they migrate here later?

It can be seen from various traces nearby that these lazy people and hyperactive apes should have lived here for a long time, but further confirmation is needed.

"Chengxia, let's investigate nearby. If the traces of their activities here are within one or two years, or even within a few months, it is still possible that they migrated from elsewhere after the incident."

"Okay, I'll go this way, you go that way."

"Row."

Then, the two of them split up to investigate in two directions.

There is a rough but simplest way to judge how long a group of lazy people has lived in a place.

Whether it is a lazy man or an ape swinging between trees, they will leave scratch marks on the branches. When they crawl and play on the trunks, they will also leave scratches on the trees.

Some trees that they often hang on and crawl on often have their phloem layers damaged by their sharp claws.

There is a kind of tree that is common in the habitat of the loon. After repairing these wounds, "scars" of a specific shape will be left. Some are like long worms, and some are like a tumor.

These "scars" can be judged by observing the various details of their appearance to determine the year they occurred. Both Xinyi and Chengxia had learned relevant knowledge before when they were in the research institute.

"This tumor lasts for about a year."

"These scratches are deep enough. They must have been caused by a fight last week."

"This, within a year."

"These two, it seems...at least two or three years old, which means we need to confirm again before the incident happened."

Then, Xinyi used a few tree fruits to have a friendly exchange with a hyperactive ape, and then climbed up a big tree where they often stay.

"These marks, as well as this tumor, are all ten years old, so it can be confirmed."

After confirming, Xinyi immediately ran to Chengxia and explained the situation to her. Chengxia also said that she had discovered several "scars" that were about five or six years old.

"Then let Meng Que ask."

The main reason why Xinyi didn't ask Meng Que directly just now was because they didn't care much about the concept of time and didn't have the habit of remembering the year. If asked, they could only give a rough answer, such as how many winters they have experienced. , but often misremembered.

Therefore, their answers can only be regarded as one of the supporting evidence.

Hearing Xinyi's words, Meng Que didn't wait for him to tell her, and consciously floated up from his head, came to the oldest hyperactive ape, and lassoed him.

The communication with the hyperactive ape went smoothly, and Mengque quickly returned to the top of Xinyi's head.

"They have been here for several generations. The older hyperactive ape met his grandmother and lived here at that time."

"That's no problem. This small ethnic group did not migrate after the incident."

Subsequently, Xinyi and Chengxia began further discussions.

The two of them were discussing whether to stay here for two more days to observe and record various information about this small group. ,

According to Xinyi, the special situation of the Lazy Man clan that Xiao Mao told them before was almost all related to those large clans with leave kings.

So, could the truth of the incident be hidden in the activities of the small ethnic group?

The discussion ended quickly, and both of them thought it would be better to stay here for two more days.

Most of the knowledge they had learned about the Lanrenweng tribe before came from books. Now that they had the opportunity to personally understand the life of the Lanrenweng wild tribe, they still had to seize it.

This independently planned and implemented survey was also regarded by the two as a test for themselves.

As a result, the two immediately formulated an action plan for the next few days.

They are active during the day and rest at night. (Lazy man: I sleep the same during the day!)

Because the two of them have to observe and record around the clock, the camp must be moved here, and then the day and night are divided into two halves, and the day is divided into four parts.

During the day, in the morning, one person stayed in the camp to observe and record the lives of this group of slugs and animas. The other person went to the Big and Small Pingding Mountains and nearby areas to investigate whether there were any traces of the migratory slugs. In the afternoon, the two The task is reversed.

(When searching for straight bears on Dapingding Mountain, the entire mountain was not searched.)

It's the same at night. One person sleeps in the first half of the night, while the other person observes and records the nocturnal activities of the lazy man and the hyperactive ape, and then reverses it in the second half of the night.

Although most of them are sleeping at night, field inspections are like this. Only by carefully recording the whole process can we get the desired details and make more accurate judgments.

After making a plan, the two immediately returned to the original camp and moved their camping equipment to a clearing in the woods.

Of course, the two of them had already greeted the ape and the lazy man beforehand and gave them some tree fruits.

In addition, after obtaining the permission of the oldest animal, the two also arranged a dozen cameras near the area where the lazy man often moves.

Once everything was done, it was almost dark.

Xinyi and Chengxia started preparing dinner. Not long after, the Fiery Arrow Eagle and Junzi also came back. After catching the straight bear in the afternoon, Xinyi asked the Fiery Arrow Eagle to find Junzi and the others, and then they went to search for the lazy man together. Traces of migratory groups.

"Let's have dinner!"

Cheng Xia shouted, and the elves who had been busy all afternoon rushed to their food bowls like hungry tigers rushing to eat. The sight of eating made the lazy people and hyperactive apes nearby look at each other for a moment.

……

At night, the elves gradually fell into sleep.

"Cheng Xia, I'll be here to watch you for the first half of the night. You can go to bed."

"Then...well, remember to call me later."

"I will, good night."

"Good night."

After watching Chengxia enter the tent, Xinyi got up and went to a big tree. He climbed up in two or three times and sat on a thick branch. He took out his camera and notebook and started lazing around tonight. The man observes.

The lazy men had fallen asleep a long time ago. Through the bright moonlight tonight, Xinyi could even clearly see the pink round nose of the nearest lazy man waving incessantly, as if there were a few mosquitoes harassing him. it.

Xinyi turned on the night vision mode of the camera (provided by the institute) and started taking pictures of the lazy man and the hyperactive ape.

Two of the four hyperactive apes were already completely asleep, and the other one was lying on a thick branch, swinging his arms, and was about to fall asleep.

Only the youngest-looking hyperactive ape was still sitting on the ground, teasing a group of ants with a branch. Those ants were all attracted by the juice it deliberately sprinkled on the ground.

The hyperactive ape was teasing the ants intently, and Xinyi was focused on photographing the hyperactive ape.

About half an hour later, the hyperactive ape seemed to be tired of playing, got up and went into a bush, where it had a small nest made of hay.

Lying in the nest, it quickly fell asleep.

Xinyi continued to maintain the shooting posture for a while, then put down the camera and moved his stiff body.

Seeing that the lazy man and the hyperactive apes were all asleep, he leaned against the tree trunk and admired the woods at night.

Xinyi looked at the mottled moonlight on the ground and listened to the insects chirping nearby, and couldn't help but fall into memories.

Many experiences he had experienced some time ago emerged in his mind, especially the brief conversation he had with Chengxia before he proposed to Xiaomao to join the team.

At that time, listening to Xiao Mao's voice on the phone and recalling what Xiao Mao had just said about the Lazy Man Clan, Xinyi thought of many things——

The excitement when I first came to this world, I can conquer the elves!

The fear that emerged later was that I might be separated from my relatives and friends in my previous life forever...

Later, the love and care of his current family allowed him to gradually integrate into this world;

Later, the confusion about the future, the pain in the confusion, the severe headache, and the dual physical and psychological pain almost made him collapse.

……

Then, Xinyi thought about the elves he met in this life——

Uncle Big Mouth who saved his own life and grew up with him at home; King Carp who motivated himself with actions and helped him get out of trouble; and many wild elves in the island's forest, who at a certain stage had the same relationship with him when they were young. They were very close to each other, but then gradually drifted apart, and each had their own lives;

Also, everyone who is by my side now.

Arrow Eagle, Kodak, Junzai, Swampert, Squirtle...

I came into this world and have been helped by everyone. I walked out of the haze and moved towards the future.

Maybe it's time for me to do something for the world.

I am not a traveler.

……

Xinyi knew what he was going to do.

He raised his head, and in front of him was a familiar, beautiful, smiling face. He couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, and he also laughed.

"Xinyi, what do you want to do in the future?"

"Me? I want to travel the world."

"Then, let's go to Fangyuan first. My home is in Fangyuan and I haven't been back for a long time."

"Okay."
