Chapter 613 Birds and Pioneers

There has always been a group of very stubborn ear flies in the tree hole community.

They firmly believe that the predatory birds that are regarded as a disaster are not invincible.

"Ear flies will die, mosquitoes will die, wild animals will die, trees will die, flowers and plants will die. Why shouldn't birds of prey die? They will die too, of course. We just haven't found a way to kill them all."

The birds of prey kill all living things. Even the most powerful beasts in the forest cannot defeat them. These bloodthirsty demons will swarm over and tear the beasts into pieces of flesh and blood.

Even if wild beasts manage to kill a few birds of prey by chance, these dead birds of prey will become nutrients for other birds of prey, and they feel no guilt at all when devouring the corpses of their companions.

Even if the ear flies found a way to kill the predators, they would not be able to stop the flocks of tens of thousands of predators.

The ear flies in the tree hole tribe initially planned to use powerful sound energy to kill the flock of predatory birds. However, it takes the same amount of energy for ear flies to make sounds, and the energy required to kill predatory birds is completely beyond the level that ear flies can bear, so they have to seek other methods.

As they were confused, an earfly asked a question:
"Do birds of prey have language?"

If there is language, ear flies can take advantage of this.

They asked the old ear flies that had experienced the massacre by predatory birds, but the old ear flies did not know that most ear flies were so scared when they encountered a flock of predatory birds that they just ran away and had no chance to study the sounds made by the predatory birds.

During the migrations of generations, the ear flies have lost the courage to fight against the birds of prey. They have never thought about understanding the habits of the birds of prey or their weaknesses.

There was no other way. After a period of entanglement, this group of ear flies made a bold decision.

They are going to look for birds of prey.

It is always the birds of prey that chase the ear flies, and no ear flies have ever actively sought out the birds of prey.

They did not make this decision rashly. During their investigation, they found that ear flies have the hearing ability to clearly hear the sounds of predatory birds outside their hunting range.

So, as long as they control the distance, they can continue to study birds of prey from a distance.

Having made up their minds, this group of pioneer ear flies set out on their journey.

They followed the migration route and soon found the traces of the flock of predatory birds.

After arriving at an area, a flock of predatory birds will hunt in that area for a period of time while raising their young. They will only move to the next area after the food in that area is exhausted.

In this way, this group of pioneer ear flies hid outside the hunting range of predatory birds and listened to the sounds of predatory birds.

Soon, they found the pattern of the birds of prey's pronunciation.

Although the birdsong was full of madness and chaos, there was also a hint of logic in it.

With their powerful hearing, pioneer ear flies began trying to imitate these bird calls.

"kill!"

"eat!"

"Fight me!"

"That'smine!"

"Till death!"

"..."

By studying the sounds made by predatory birds when they performed different behaviors, they classified the different meanings of different bird calls.

The bird calls of these predatory birds are very simple, and the meaning of their language is also very simple, basically meaning various kinds of "fighting and killing" and "competing".

This was pretty much what the ear flies had expected; the language of the predatory birds was just like their habits, full of madness and warlike intent.

Even when facing their young, predators will not show any mercy. They will only throw some leftovers into the nest and let the young fight for them. Sometimes they will retain the fighting ability of the prey and let the prey fight with the young in the nest.

"kill!"

Birds of prey would watch from the nest, fanning the fire as they watched their prey and their young being slaughtered.

Most of the cubs will tear the prey into pieces during the fight and then eat them all, but some prey will burst out with a strong desire to survive in critical moments and kill the cubs in the nest.

But even if all the young birds were killed, the adult predatory birds would not help, but would just continue to fan the flames and watch the blood flow in the bird's nest as if nothing had happened.

Only after the prey has killed its young will the bird of prey take action, begin torturing the prey until it dies, and then swallow it in one gulp.

As for the dead cubs...

Just give birth to a new nest. Those who can be killed by the prey are all weak ones. The predatory birds will not even take a second look, nor will they make any mournful sounds. After a sharp scream, they will join the new hunt.

Such cruelty strikes fear into the hearts of ear flies.

They thought that no matter how cruel a creature was, it would show gentleness when facing its cubs, but these predatory birds were completely merciless.

The same is true for predatory birds towards their companions, and cannibalism is commonplace.

There is no concept of hierarchy or leader in a flock of birds. They just fly to the direction where there is more food. If there is no food and they feel hungry, they will attack their companions.

"fighting!"

After a bird call, the predatory birds will attack their companions without mercy.

Countless birds of prey have been killed by sneak attacks from their companions. The winners will be the kings and the losers will be the bandits. These dead birds of prey will soon be eaten by their companions.

The scramble for it would lead to a fight, which would eventually turn into a huge melee with blood and flesh flying everywhere and no mercy shown to each other.

The final winner will devour all the flesh and blood, and leave without looking back, leaving only debris on the ground.

The pioneer ear flies monitored the flocks of predatory birds and were shocked by the scenes more than once. They also felt frightened and wanted to give up more than once, but they persisted.

When birds of prey adjust their hunting range, they also adjust their positions accordingly, always hiding in the most ingenious position.

After a long period of sound collection and verification, this group of ear flies finally summarized a language system of predatory birds.

But as luck would have it, the hunting range of this group of predatory birds will soon cover the tree hole population.

So the pioneer ear flies hurried back to the tribe and reported their harvest to the tribe leader.

"We have completely mastered the language of predatory birds. These creatures are not very intelligent, and their language system is very simple. Moreover, they are extremely irritable and are easily irritated by the calls of their companions..."

"So what? What are you going to do?" asked the leader of the Tree Hole Tribe.

"We need to provoke them to fight. Once they start killing each other, it will attract more predatory birds, which will join the fight without hesitation until the entire flock is consumed."

The pioneer ear flies told the patriarch their plan.

They can imitate the calls of predatory birds, causing flocks of birds to kill each other.

As long as they hide in the tree holes in advance and wait for the predators to arrive, and make bird calls to provoke fighting, the predators will immediately start attacking their companions. When the winner emerges, they will attract the winners together and start another melee...

In this way, the number of the entire flock of predatory birds will continue to decrease. When only a few are left, they will be led to a narrow place and eliminated with echo sound waves.

Although the sound waves produced by ear flies are not enough to kill an entire flock of birds, they are more than enough to kill a few individual birds. However, this requires many ear flies to make sounds at the same time and resonate...

After listening to the plan of the pioneer ear flies, the chief was silent. He thought for a long time before questioning:
"Are you going to let me put the entire Tree Hollow Clan in danger?"
