“No way, I clearly saw them flying out of the sea while spinning like boomerangs, before diving back into the water!” Zhao Manyan exclaimed.
What Featherless Birds? Zhao Manyan was more inclined to believe the creatures were a strange kind of fish demon instead. How could a bird stay in the water?
“The Featherless Birds have no feathers, so they are not afraid of being drenched. Their skin is as smooth as leather. Not only can it fly by perfectly utilizing the airflow, it can move freely in the water, too. It’s a unique species that can move in the sky or the water,” Tangyue informed him.
“A species that can move in the sky and the water? It’s my first time encountering anything like this,” Mo Fan murmured.
Most amphibious creatures were suited for both land and water, like some lizards, and crocodiles who had some special lungs. However, it was rare to see a creature that could fly in the sky and stay in the water!
“They can freely move in the sky and the water without compromising their strength. It is the main reason that many countries have tried to domesticate them, but the Featherless Birds are naturally aggressive, with a strong sense of territory. It will take dozens of years to domesticate them, requiring taming them over at least ten generations,” Tangyue said.
“If it’s actually possible to tame these creatures, that would be extremely useful, considering our current situation,” Lingling said.
The Featherless Birds’ attributes were perfect for cities along the coast. They could scout the sea while flying in the sky and fight the sea monsters in the water. The Heavenly Eagles were only useful for scouting purposes. There was nothing they could do once they were caught in the water!
“Yeah, the ideas are always brilliant, but it didn’t work out, and even left such a huge threat behind.” Tangyue let out a sigh.
“So you’re saying that not only can’t we reach the island by boat, we won’t be able to fly to it either?” Zhao Manyan asked.
“Mm, it’s actually harder to fly to the island,” Tangyue replied.
Mo Fan finally realized why Tangyue was so troubled by the case. The Featherless Birds could move freely in the sky and the water, and the inaccessible island beyond; he bet even the military bases were not as heavily guarded as that island!
“I think we should ask the old soldier whom we stumbled into the other night for help. He might not know the Totem Beasts, but he should be familiar with the Featherless Birds. We should learn more about the species so we can figure out a way to deal with them,” Lingling said.
“That’s right, I’ll go ask,” Mo Fan nodded.
“Forget it, considering your wild train of thoughts when you were talking to him the other day… Lingling, the two of us will go,” Jiang Shaoxu said.
“Fine, go ahead.”
