The Burrowing Lizard was taken away by a bird's beak, like a bug being taken away by a domestic fowl.
If one ignored the bird's body, which was much larger than the Ingenious, and the pair of wings that covered the sky, it was indeed so … if one ignored the huge creature above their heads.
It was a big bird that took the Burrowing Lizard away like a bug.
Perhaps the big bird couldn't understand the concept of the other party's size. Perhaps it only thought that it was a strange bird that could crush the wings of others, swoop down from above with its claws, and easily capture hunters.
But this was a bird that was far beyond the concept of ordinary people. If the size of those dragon creatures was as huge as mortals expected, then no one would expect a bird to grow so big that it could cover half the sky.
If its wings had fluffy and smooth feathers, the creature above his head would be mistaken for a dragon from somewhere else.
But it was definitely not a dragon. It was a bird, but it was unbelievably huge. It was really just a bird.
No matter what kind of creature it was, even if it was a bug, when its body was infinitely enlarged until it became the size of a mountain, it would no longer be the same thing. It would become another kind of creature, a disaster of another level.
Lulunaka had taken Zendina to see such a disaster earlier. It was something similar to a bug, but its body was so huge that it was not inferior to a dragon.
And a disaster of this level appeared above Lulunaka's head.
Lurunaka raised her head and looked up. How big was this bird? It was so big that its beak was able to clamp down on half of the lizard's body. It couldn't resist at all and could only struggle in vain. It really did look like a little bug.
"Oh … It's the first time I've seen such a big one. What kind of good food is there around here to make this bird so fat?"
Lulunaka let out a rare exclamation. "I haven't been here for a while, and the ecology of this area has changed again. There are always strange things climbing to the top of the food chain. It's hard not to be surprised."
Lulunaka still remembered that the last time she came here, the biggest bird was not this big. It was about two-thirds the size of the dragon bird above her head, and it wouldn't have such beautiful feathers. The bird's feathers shone in the sun. They were brown with stripes, and the shape of each feather was beautiful. Each feather seemed to be able to wrap around an adult.
Such a creature soared above the plains like the highest predator. In its mouth was the Burrowing Lizard that could wreak havoc on the ground. The Burrowing Lizard that could easily devour wolves had now become the food of a higher creature.
While Lulunaka was surprised, the big bird did not care about the small thing below it.
For a creature of its size, something like the Ingenious that emitted an inedible smell could not pique its interest.
It was not only superior to the Burrowing Lizard in terms of size, but also in terms of intelligence.
The small thing below that was so troublesome to peck was not as delicious as the one in its mouth.
It did not immediately spread its wings and fly away. It was just patrolling the area.
The Ingenious was not a threat to it, so it did not pay too much attention to the insect-like thing on the ground and the smaller thing above. It spread its wings and slowly rose.
Its wings were not just for decoration. Just by flapping them, the grass and trees on the ground began to sway with the wind.
There were only a few trees scattered around the plains. The stubborn weeds on the ground raised their heads in the wind.
The Ingenious was not unaffected. The whole body of the ship swayed slightly as it ran, as if it was about to leave the ground and fly into the sky – this was just a nice way to put it. In fact, if the Ingenious was just a little bit lighter, it would probably be blown into the sky.
Lulunaka did not panic at all. Even if it really flew into the sky, it was fine to fly. She did not mind.
Right now, she was only interested in the mountain-sized bird above her head.
The thing on her head did not come from any special bloodline or race. If one were to ignore its appearance, it was just a simple bird. At most, it had the strength and body to survive because it lived in a place like the Plains of Magic Beasts. However, it would definitely not be this size.
What kind of change could have caused such a strange bird to appear in this place?
Lulunaka was very interested.
The thing above her head was no longer just a predator in a small area like the Underground Lizard. It was at the top of the food chain in this area. In a place like the Magic Beast Plain, it could already occupy a large territory and become a creature as frightening as the Colossal Dragon.
Although in a no man's land like the Magic Beast Plain, there would not be people singing about a bird that spread fear.
The Underground Lizard fell into the big bird's mouth. Lulunaka did not think that it could survive. The bird's mouth held its body. No matter how it struggled, it was futile.
No matter what kind of creature it was, in a life and death situation, they would always try to make a last stand. Smart people might give up and wait for death. But that did not include a magical beast like the Underground Lizard.
The Underground Lizard turned its head and stuck out its tongue toward the big bird's eyes. Black liquid sprayed out from its mouth and landed on the big bird's eyes.
The big bird let out a shrill cry. Its mouth loosened, and the Underground Lizard fell.
The Underground Lizard's venom had landed on the big bird's eyes. If it had landed on a human body, the flesh and blood would have melted in an instant, leaving behind only a tattered skeleton. And the flesh and blood in the venom would have become the Underground Lizard's food.
But it was not up against a creature weaker than itself. Instead, it was up against a superior predator that it could not resist at all. Its venom only made the big bird feel pain and loosen its mouth.
The big bird fluttered a few times in the sky. Before the Underground Lizard had completely landed on the ground, it had already swooped down and caught the little bug in its mouth again.
This time, the big bird did not leave any "warmth" behind.
A tearing sound could be heard from above. Then, Lulunaka saw a rain of black blood falling from the sky.
"What a filthy rainwater." Lulunaka shrunk her body so that she would not come into contact with the disgusting stuff.
Along with the rainwater, there were also residues that looked like organs. Some of them landed on top of the Ingenious. Lulunaka could not stop sighing. It was not an easy job to clean this up properly. At the very least, Dina, that rough child, could not do it by herself. She had to help.
Just as Lulunaka was sighing, a carriage appeared in her vision.
That's right, a carriage with a man, a woman, and an old man in it.
