Blue Star Survival Project: Animal Edition

Hello everyone, I am Lantern, the eldest of the three brothers of the Red Horned Owl.

In my impression, there was chaos in front of my eyes for a week after breaking out of the shell. I can only feel that there are two cubs like me crowded beside me. There is always a warm source of heat to hold us firmly. Cover up, although at that time my body was only covered with sparse fluff, and I never felt cold.

Judging from the tactile sensation of the heat source, there should be two different individuals.One is very gentle, and will caress us gently with its beak from time to time; the other is quite rough, sometimes stepping on us, and jumping away when we hear our screams.

But when I was one week old, the gentle heat source left for a long time and never came back. The one on the top of my head became more and more disturbed. After stepping on my body for the fifth time, it also left, leaving me and my two little friends to depend on each other. .

The fur of the three of us has gradually become thicker, but it is still not enough to resist the cold alone.There was a thick pile of sawdust in the corner of the tree hole. We instinctively crawled over and cuddled together.

I feel like my body has sped up my metabolism to fight off the cold, and my hunger pangs come on extra early.I opened my mouth wide and let out a sharp cry.

There was no food stuffed in my mouth, the tree hole was empty, only my voice echoed.

I suddenly felt very scared. I was so worried that even the violent heat source would never return, so we could only wait to die in this cold tree hole.

In the past few days, I could vaguely see a faint light in front of my eyes, as well as a shadow moving in front of me. Under the dual stimulation of cold and hunger, I opened my eyes for the first time.

Beside them are two squirming balls of hair, one with hairy legs, and one with a few black hairs on top of its head, their eyes are half-closed, looking dumb.

It's ugly.I poked them both in distaste, but seemed to forget that I was actually like this myself.

In order to save my energy, I just sat there with my eyes open, waiting and waiting, until my stomach ached from dull pain to unconsciousness, and when the two guys next to me also opened their eyes, the familiar heat source still didn’t come back.

I saw a ray of light come in from the hole, and dust danced in the beam, marking the path of its movement.

I was idly counting a few grains of dust in the light, when a black shadow suddenly appeared at the entrance of the cave, and a tall body appeared in front of us.

I looked up, and the first thing I saw was a pair of huge claws, then a body covered with black markings, and then up... a pair of golden eyes were watching us.

This male bird should be my father.I wonder.

Seeing our eyes open, its beak slightly opened, it seemed a little surprised.

I saw that there was no food in its mouth, and the hope of a full meal was instantly shattered. It opened its mouth wide and cried, and the long johns and Daimao beside me also started to play a trio with me.

But the male bird in front of us was unmoved. It even walked to the corner farthest from us and dozed off on its own.

unacceptable!I was very angry and screamed harder: I'm hungry, so don't even try to sleep in peace!

"Ok... toitoink?"

The effect was beyond my expectation, my lord father suddenly yelled, scaring the three of us into silence immediately.

His eyes were very strange, he looked left and right, he was in doubt, and he even stepped forward to pick us up, like a different bird.

When he put his empty beak in front of us, we finally couldn't bear it anymore and pecked his big face with our still immature beak—if there's no food, don't mess with us!

OK, he's out and hopefully will come back with food this time.

I pray silently.

Although our mother is gone forever, my father is struggling to get life back on track, although I feel that the quality of food has plummeted these days, and nothing but moths are moths.

So when Father came back with a silkworm baby in his mouth, we were all very excited.

I still remember that when my mother was still there, grabbing food was a technical job. Whoever stretched out his head the highest, opened his mouth the biggest, and screamed the loudest, was most likely to get the best food, so We turned against each other openly and secretly, and my mother seemed to encourage us to do the same.

But when we did the same thing again this time, when we twisted into a ball in front of my father, my father beat us up hard, and then made a bunch of weird moves, I just remembered a sentence: "From now on, infighting is prohibited!"

Well, those who know the current affairs are Junjie, we maintain the superficial friendliness, but secretly compete secretly.

Daimao is too weak, long johns are too stupid, these two are definitely not my opponents.I am very confident in myself.

It wasn't until later, when Dai Mao won the long johns under the guidance of his father, that I realized something was wrong. It turned out that my father really wanted us to live in peace and even make progress together!

Why did he do this?I could not understand.

One night, my father caught a scarab beetle. I thought I could handle it alone, but in the end I teamed up with Daimao to catch it.

Seeing that the beetle was about to enter Daimao's mouth, of course I would not allow this to happen, and I was going to use force to grab the food back, but who knew that I would let the food go away instead.

I was hungry and thought about it for a long time that night, and I felt that I understood my father a little bit. With our current strength, three birds can indeed do more than one bird.

Anyway, cooperation will not lose a piece of meat, and it can also avoid being beaten, so why not do it?I think I figured it out.

So I tentatively sent a friendly signal to Daimao and Qiuku, but I didn't expect them to have the same intention, and we quietly reached a truce agreement.

Who knew that the typhoon would come the next day, not only did I lose my home, but I was touched by two white two-legged beasts every day. My father didn't stop them, and he even seemed to enjoy it a little bit. I express my gratitude to this. very angry.

But because they have prepared a new home for us, let's forgive them for now.

I clearly felt that I was growing up, and soon, I learned to fly. My father generously shared his secret base with us, but I really don’t want to eat moths and scarabs anymore!

My father seemed to have heard my heart, and took us to watch the neighbors hunt. I saw those two two-legged beasts again. I really don’t know what they are doing to us every day, so angry!

Impressed by the way the neighbors are cooperating, I tried to organize a magpie hunt, and if it worked, we could have a feast tonight.

It's dangerous!Fortunately, Qiu Yu learned the lantern move, and we finally succeeded in taking down the magpie.

The long johns deserve the most credit, well, let him eat the fattest part this time.

After we were full, my father suddenly passed out.

I quickly flew to his side, patting and pecking, trying to wake him up.

I suddenly discovered that my father's body was not as tall as I had imagined. Under the shaggy fur was a skinny body, which looked weaker than the dumb one.

Is it because of us?I feel sour.

No one expected that Father would be furious after waking up, chasing us and beating and cursing until he kicked us out of the campus.

In fact, I have always had a premonition that there will be such a day sooner or later, because even if we leave our father now, we can live well.

But I am still very concerned about one thing. Why did my father look at us with gentle eyes before, but now he seems to look at strangers?

It can even be said... like watching the enemy.

I could feel that Daimao and Qiuku were as puzzled and sad as I was, and I could only comfort myself that this was the last scene my father played to force us to leave.

However, there is always a sadness in my heart, and I always feel that the old father who loved us clumsily will never come back.

On the way of wandering aimlessly, we met two neighbors who had been peeping before.

The two of them were also kicked out of the house by their parents, and now they have nowhere to go.Best of all, they are two females!

Qiuku and Daimao pursued them fanatically, and soon they became two couples, and they both said goodbye to me and went to start their own small families.

Now, I am left wandering alone.

I want to fly further and see the world beyond the campus.When you are tired from flying, find a place with rich resources to live in, and if possible, find a lovely partner and have a few smart children.

I hope they are not as naughty as I was when I was a child,

I walked through the night, thinking about my future life, and couldn't help but secretly laugh.

A moth flew by, I turned sideways slightly, and took it into my palm.An updraft happened to form below me, and I rode it into the high night sky, as if I could pick off the stars in the next second.

I had a bird's-eye view of the peaceful land below, and thought to myself: The sky is high and the birds can fly.

The author says:

This is the end of the story of the screech owl. The inspiration for this story comes from a family of scops owls who live outside my friend’s dormitory. There is no follow-up (laughs)

So, see you in the next story!

[Put a pre-received copy]

In the Elemental Continent, strange beasts are rampant. There are 118 citizens in total, all obeying the system's orders.

Jumping on the mecha to fight monsters and mine is their boring and boring daily life.

Na opened his eyes, desperately thinking that he would be greeted by the miserable life of the monster-fighting tool man.However, she soon discovered that this group of newcomers had their own ideas.

Some people focus on farming, some focus on love, and some... just want to make trouble.

The system jumped anxiously: "You are so disobedient! What will you do if you encounter a strange beast?"

Na Xiemei smiled: "Look, our nirvana is - use mechas to synthesize various compounds, let them understand what element suppression is!"

While talking, the sodium and chlorine mechas merged, and salt spewed out from the muzzle, and sprinkled it on the huge slugs one after another...

The system looked at the slug that turned into water, and was stunned: "Is this how to use the fusion skill I gave you?"

Until one day, Na mysteriously proposed:

"Everyone has had enough of fighting monsters, how about we go to the restricted area in the northern border?"

Everyone exclaimed:

"It turns out that you are the real master of death—so when shall we set off?"

The truth of this strange world may be hidden within the restricted area...
