Shiro: The Secret Hero
74. Ruins
After killing Thunder Bird, Shiro checked the arrival spot of the Thunder Bird earlier.
Shiro was surprised to find 3 eggs that seemed to be eggs from Thunder Bird that Shiro had fought before.
With a happy feeling of finding a windfall, Shiro took the three eggs. It also increased the number of monster eggs present in his Inventory room.
After that, Shiro went back around the floating island. Maybe he could find something else valuable.
He finds some fruits that he does not know, Shiro keeps them in his inventory. Mother fruits are quite useful after being identified by the Appraiser.
` cit~ cit~ cit~ cit`
While walking around, Shiro heard a squeaking sound. Shiro approached the source of the sound, he saw a scene of a fight between prey and predator.
The battle between Lightning Mouse and Thunder Bird.
It looked the size of a Lightning Mouse as big as a cat, against a Thunder Bird of 5 meters. From the size alone, it already looks the difference in strength.
Lightning Mouse repeatedly tried to sting using his electric tail. However his attacks did not impact Thunder Bird much.
In fact, the Lightning Mouse was struggling to avoid the claw attacks of the Thunder Bird. Repeatedly, Lightning Mouse was almost captured by Thunder Bird.
Some time passed, from his second fight, Thunder Bird was above the wind. His body had no scars. Repeatedly he tried to attack Lightning Mouse and managed to land several attacks.
While Lightning Mouse, many feathers are standing and burning due to the sting of Thunder Bird.
Feeling unable to win, Lightning Mouse tried to escape. Thunder Bird tried to chase after Lightning Mouse who tried to escape.
Although Thunder Bird had a fairly fast speed, but still he could not catch the blurred Lightning Mouse. The Lightning Mouse managed to escape through several bushes and into the dug hole of his hiding place.
The Thunder Bird flew away with a feeling of disappointment, as it could not catch any already exhausted prey.
But he did not expect, as a predator, now it was his turn to be the victim.
While flying, Thunder Bird saw a shadow figure that jumped from the top of the tree to where he was.
The Thunder Bird was shocked, he let his guard down.
A shadowy figure had landed on his body and hit the Thunder Bird's head very strongly. Making the Thunder Bird consciousness disappear and fall to the ground.
The figure stood upright on the body of Thunder Bird. The figure was Shiro who had been staking out the Thunder Bird fight from earlier.
Shiro followed the direction of Thunder Bird's movements silently. Then he made use of the Thunder Bird that was flying low, trying to find prey.
Shiro climbed onto the tree, and jumped towards the Thunder Bird. Using the Aura Fist, Shiro hit the Thunder Bird with all his might.
His efforts were not in vain, he pin back get the monster corpse intact. This time, he tried to grab the meat from the Thunder Bird to eat. Because the first Thunder Bird meat was contaminated with poison from his Kerambit so he could not eat.
In the middle of a forest on a floating island, smoke was high. Shiro coolly cooked in the middle of the neighborhood, as if having a picnic in a park.
Leisurely, Shiro prepared a tent and started cooking meat from the Thunder Bird. He burned the Thunder Bird's flesh using a variety of spices.
The smell of the grilled meat is very must, from the aroma alone has evoked appetite, Shiro can not wait to eat it.
` kresek~ kresek~`
A rustling sound rang out in the bushes not far from Shiro's location.
"It looks like the target was lured by the smell of grilled meat" Shiro said lightly.
But Shiro did not care about it, he continued cooking. In addition to being useful for filling the stomach, the aroma of this grilled meat can also be used to attract prey to approach it.
After the grilled meat had matured, Shiro called out to Unseen and started eating together. The two of them paid no heed to the little monsters lurking nearby.
They saw Shiro and Unseen who were busy eating their food.
The Lightning Mouse's saliva fell down, a look of lightness in their eyes. Impatiently, they rushed towards Shiro.
Shiro smiled and pelted a knife and killed one of the Lightning Mouse. But seeing the death of his comrade, the Lightning Mouse was not affected in the slightest. They stayed close to Shiro, it seemed like surrender had dispelled all of their common sense.
Shiro glanced at Unseen and gestured for a move. Unseen nodded, understanding Shiro's intentions.
Unseen stared at the Lightning Mouse numbering over 10.
With his speed plus the blade of his extremely sharp arm Unseen managed to kill several Lightning Mouse in a single move.
The stench of blood from the deaths of the Lightning Mouse, ignited the anger of the other Lightning Mouse. The remaining Lightning Mouse became sugar and ate the dead Lightning Mouse, they became cannibals.
Seeing this scene, Shiro and Unseen became disgusted. Unseen quickly, instantly killed the Lightning Mouse.
Unseen returned to Shiro's side, his voice reaching Shiro's mind. "Done."
"Yes, good job." Shiro praised Unseen's performance.
The smell of blood was still around the site. Shiro frowned. "Let's move locations."
Unseen nodded, his appetite both gone as a result of the stinging smell of blood from the deaths of dozens of Lightning Mouse.
Shiro and Unseen went looking for another picnic spot. They left the corpses of dozens of Lightning Mouse lying around just like that, not even they picked up the Crystals that were on Lightning Mouse's body. They let the corpse be eaten by the creatures that are on this floating island.
Sure enough, after Shiro and Unseen left. Some of the beasts on this floating island came to the location of dozens of Lightning Mouse corpses. They seemed to be attracted by the smell of blood and scattered. They also started eating the body of the Lightning Mouse.
This event was unknown to Shiro, but he had expected it. Shiro and Unseen again found a pretty good picnic spot. A green meadow that is not too broad, accompanied by a fairly large lake.
Shiro and Unseen return to picnic in this beautiful place. They continue their eating activities that they have not been able to finish.
" AAAARGGH~"
Shiro and Unseen were riding together, they were very enjoying and were satisfied with their meal this time. Especially from the Aura contained within the Thunder Bird's flesh.
But Shiro's sense of satisfaction suddenly disappeared, the look on his face instantly changed. Shiro was startled by the arrival of an overwhelming number of creatures approaching their direction.
From his perception, Shiro could see thousands of Auras of living beings slowly approaching them. Although the aura is small, but with a number of thousands like that. It will be very difficult to beat them all.
Shiro hurried to warn Unseen to pack up, then the two started flying. Unseen was on Shiro's shoulder.
They see the view down there. They saw a type of small bird that had sharp teeth that flooded the meadow.
Seeing this scene, Shiro shuddered in horror. Fortunately, he nodded and flew away. So that he was spared from these troublesome little monsters.
Shiro looked around the meadow and finally realized that there was not a single creature in the meadow except this little bird-like creature. It seemed like all the creatures in this meadow had already been eaten by this little monster.
Fortunately, it seemed like this little bird-like creature could not fly. Shiro was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.
Shiro and Unseen flew over the vast Lake. Suddenly Unseen's voice rang out in Shiro's mind. "See Shiro, there seems to be an island in the middle of the lake."
Shiro looked in the direction that Unseen pointed. Sure enough, there was a small island in the middle of the lake.
Shiro frowned, He was confused as to why there was an island within the island. But he was still curious about what was on the island in the middle of the lake.
Shiro decides to look around the neighborhood on the small island.
Arriving there, Shiro was surprised to see the scenery on the island.
