Chapter 907 The Downed Thunderbird
"I didn't expect you to be an Animagus..." Rolf said in surprise.
"It's not a big deal, isn't it the same for you?" Ivan waved his wings and landed on the leopard's head, and replied.
How can it be the same? Rolf rolled his eyes. He had gone through a lot of trouble to become an Animagus... and Ivan transformed into a flying creature, and his stealth and detection capabilities were superior to the leopard he transformed into. There are many, the only drawback is that the combat effectiveness is a bit low.
But while feeling emotional, Rolf also didn't forget about business. Since Ivan is an animagus, it becomes much easier to hide his figure. There is no need to worry about bad things happening by exposing his figure.
"By the way, Hals, remember to obey my orders when the thunderbirds appear later. Don't act on your own. If you are really unlucky and encounter those poachers, don't force them. I will measure them. The number of people and combat power determine whether to give up this operation." Rolf reminded very seriously.
Ivan looked at him strangely, but finally nodded. "Okay, you are a professional, then I will do as you say..."
After reaching a consensus, the eagle and the leopard rushed into the dense forest together.
After a moment of delay, the half-grown goat had already disappeared. Even if Ivan had the advantage of high-altitude vision, he could not find his footprints in this complicated jungle.
Fortunately, this was not a problem for Rolf, who had experienced many battles. He was like a real leopard, lowering his body while sniffing the scent of his prey while moving forward quickly. He successfully located the target in just a few minutes. The location of the goat.
Rolf did not move forward, but deliberately kept a close distance, using a low roar to drive the other person to the top of the mountain, so that the thunderbird could more easily find the goat.
Ivan followed slowly, not daring to fly too high, lest he become the first target of the thunderbird's attack.
This pursuit lasted for more than half an hour. Rolf undoubtedly calculated the goat's physical strength very accurately. By the time they reached the top of the mountain, the goat was already exhausted and sat motionless in an open space.
"What should we do next?" Ivan slid down from mid-air, looked at the poor and helpless goat in the distance, and asked.
"Wait!" Rolf clasped his paws, covered his body in the dense bushes, and spoke in a low voice. "We need to be more patient than the Thunderbirds. As long as we can keep our composure, this plan will be half successful."
"Half? What's the other half?" Ivan was very curious.
"Luck! We'd better pray that the ptarmigan doesn't successfully capture prey during this period, otherwise it may choose to stay in the nest, and then our work today will be in vain." Rolf explained, with a look on his face Very peaceful.
In his years of researching and exploring magical animals, there are many examples of people who made adequate preparations in advance, but ultimately failed miserably and returned without success, so he has always been open-minded.
Ivan nodded, also knowing this truth, and landed directly on the low branch next to him.
Taking advantage of his spare time, Rolf suddenly became interested and whispered to Ivan about his thrilling adventures over the years, and by the way, he popularized various knowledge about survival in the wild.
The wait took longer than Ivan expected. They hid from morning until midnight without seeing a single shadow of the Thunderbird.
The half-grown goat had regained its vitality. It was jumping leisurely on the grass, lowering its head to nibble on a few grass leaves from time to time. It looked very leisurely and comfortable.
Ivan turned his head and looked at Rolf, only to see him lying in the bushes, squinting his eyes and dozing off, very calm.
Seeing this, Ivan also turned his body over, hung upside down on a branch, and began to meditate with his eyes closed...
…
In the early hours of the morning, the dazed Ivan was awakened by a burst of piercing thunder. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw several lightning flashes in the dense dark clouds, and golden light spots could still be vaguely seen in the clouds.
Thunderbird?
Ivan suddenly trembled, woke up from his confusion, and immediately turned his attention to the grass ahead. The half-grown goat was obviously aware of the danger. It whined "yoyo" in fear and ran into the woods like crazy.
Ivan subconsciously wanted to fly out to chase him, but Rolf's voice sounded one step forward.
"Don't move, that sheep can't escape, now is not the time to take action!"
Rolf had already woken up before the arrival of the thunderbirds. Like Ivan, he was concentrating on the movements of the goats and the thunderbirds, but he did not take any action because he was very aware of the hunting habits of the thunderbirds.
Sure enough, shortly after he spoke, a bolt of lightning suddenly burst out from the clouds and struck directly on the path of the goat. The dazed lamb was so frightened that it staggered and fell to the ground, and then lay there. The body was shaking and motionless on the ground.
Ivan held his breath and turned his gaze to the sky. Now that the prey has lost its fighting spirit, the hunter should also appear!
A golden bird flew out of the dark clouds. It was as fast as a beam of light. It jumped down from the clouds in a few dives, opened its sharp front claws, and grabbed the half-sized goat tightly with a single flick. Grip.
Ivan finally got a glimpse of the Thunderbird. It looked as big as a Muggle car and was covered in pure golden feathers. The most peculiar thing was that it had three pairs of wings, the largest of which It stretches more than five meters, and blue lightning can still be vaguely seen on the tail feathers.
After successfully hunting, the ptarmigan seemed to have no intention of enjoying the food on the spot. It flapped its wings again and flew away into the distance.
"Chase! But remember not to get too close. Our goal is to find its nest. Don't act without authorization!" Rolf said loudly, and rushed out of the bushes the next moment.
The leopard's speed is already extremely fast, and coupled with the blessing of magical power, it is enough for Rolf to keep up with the Thunderbird's movements.
Ivan's actions were not slow at all, following closely behind Rolf.
After flying for about ten minutes, a towering cliff appeared in front of the two of them in the distance. The Thunderbird did not continue moving forward, but kept hovering over the cliff.
A cheerful smile suddenly appeared on Rolf's face. It seems that the thunderbird's nest is here!
However, before he was happy for long, Rolf noticed something was wrong. The thunderbird looked very anxious and had not returned to his nest for a long time.
Just when both of them felt strange, several gorgeous magical beams suddenly shot out from the cliff, and the target was the thunderbird in the sky...
