Lu Chen looked at it.
It also looked at Lu Chen.
The atmosphere was a little awkward.
Just as both parties were at a loss on what to do next, the system prompt that broke the deadlock sounded at the right time
. Kakapo (Primeval type!"
"The host has unlocked three S-class animal guides. Second Order Physique Enhancement Potion!"
？
Lu Chen was stunned.
The fat chicken looked a little familiar just now, and the name was already on the tip of his tongue. Before he could say it, the system said it first.
It was really a Kakapo that had been listed on the Red Critically Dangerous List!
Moreover, Lu Chen noticed that the system notification this time had the words "Original" behind the Kakapo's name.
Lu Chen was shocked when he opened the rare animal guide.
Normally, the Chinese Snow Leopard and the Flashing Python were S and S rarities respectively. In the illustrated guide, they were already at the peak of rarity with a golden background.
He did not expect this Kakapo to be even more impressive. Its illustrated guide was actually faintly wrapped in rainbow light!
The Kakapo was clearly not extinct yet!
How could this be?
Lu Chen quickly opened its illustration to check the details.
[Name: Kakapo (Original Species)]
[Chordate, Class Aves, Subclass Aves, Order Parrots, Family Parrots, Genus Kakapo]
[Other Name: Owl Parrot]
[Rare Grade: S-Grade]
[World Species Red List Assessment Grade: [
Note: This species of Kakapo is the original Kakapo. It is larger in size, more beautiful in color, and has stronger reproductive abilities.]】
After reading the last sentence, Lu Chen finally understood why the Kakapo was classified as a rarer species even though it was clearly not extinct.
Previously, the Xin Huo Special Task Force had said that many species in this primitive forest were primitive species that had not evolved due to environmental changes.
Compared to the existing evolved species, this primitive species more or less had some things that the evolved species had lost during the postnatal evolution process.
Nowadays, as the scope of human production activities grew larger and larger, the impact on the environment became more and more serious. It was already quite difficult to find primitive and rare animals.
Therefore, although the kakapo was not extinct, it was given a rarer color base because it was a primitive species.
When Lu Chen was checking the guide, the Kakapo had been shrinking its neck and looking at Lu Chen pitifully.
The people in the live broadcast room also started discussing at the speed of light.
[F * ck, what a big chicken!]
[What should I do? This big fat chicken looks so fragrant!】
[It's much fatter than my grandmother's walking chicken. How did this big green chicken grow?？】
[Brother Lu, can we have some meat today?】
[Roasted chicken! The whole roast chicken!]
"I'm afraid I can't eat meat.”
Lu Chen looked at the trembling Kakapo in his arms and shook his head with a smile,
"This is a famous one on the Red List of Endangered Animals in the World. If I roast it, I'm afraid I'll have to spend the rest of my life in prison."”
What?
A fat chicken that fell from the sky was an endangered animal?
What dogshit luck!
"This fat chicken…No, this fat parrot is called a Kakapo.”
Lu Chen lowered his head and used his hand to gently fiddle with the feathers beside the genitals of the Kakapo in his arms. He then looked at its claws and smiled
.”
[That's not right. Can't parrots fly? Why did it fall from the tree?】
[Could it be that his wings are injured and he can't fly?】
"That's not the case."
Lu Chen smiled and shook his head
. Because…it couldn't fly.
Yes, you didn't. It's the only parrot in the world that can't fly. It's also the heaviest parrot in the world.”
At this point, Lu Chen lowered his head and gently weighed the lady Kakapo in his arms who did not dare to move
.”
Ten catties!
Everyone's eyeballs were about to pop out.
[Ten pounds? [My cat is only around 8 pounds!]
[Does this thing eat meat every day? Why are you so fat?]
"No, it's a pure herbivore.”
Lu Chen smiled slyly.
Of course, I'm just joking."
Afraid that the Kakapo would be afraid, Lu Chen gently patted its fluffy feathers and gently placed it on the ground.
He thought that it would run away at the speed of light. Unexpectedly, it looked left and right and jogged two steps to a plant beside Lu Chen's feet.
Then, he lay down, lowered his head, and remained motionless.
Everyone in the live broadcast room: ?
Little Xue Feng had been very interested in it before. Now that she saw it hiding in the grass, she immediately went back and sniffed it with her little nose. From time to time, she would even nudge it with her little head.
However, this Kakapo pretended not to know anything. It closed its small eyes and puffed up its feathers, pretending that it did not exist.
[Brother Lu, it…what is it doing?】
"This, this is how it protects itself.”
Lu Chen grabbed the back of Xiao Xuefeng's neck and dragged it to the side. He explained with a smile,
"Everyone knows that generally speaking, birds that can't fly have some special skills.
For example, penguins were good at swimming, while ostriches had powerful legs that could kick enemies and run fast.
On the other hand, the owlparrot also had a special ability, which was to play dumb.”
Lu Chen stretched out his finger and poked the Kakapo squatting in the grass.
It remained motionless.
"It doesn't have a sharp beak or claws. It can't fly or run fast.
The only thing that could protect him was the protective color that could almost blend in with the surrounding environment.
Every time it felt that there might be danger, it would squat in the grass like this and chant in its heart,"You can't see me, you can't see me, you can't see me," in an attempt to escape the possible hunt.
Dumb and cute, right?”
"
It's also because it's harmless to humans and animals that it's in danger.
Before it was discovered here, there were only a few small independent islands in the world where this kind of kakapo was distributed.
In order for a species like the kakapo, which did not know how to protect itself, to survive, there could not be any carnivores or carnivorous birds on the island.
Before humans discovered these islands, they had been living well.
However, ever since humans discovered this dumb, cute, and easy to catch animal, its disaster had arrived.
Because it was very fat, it had a lot of meat and was easy to catch. After it was discovered, it became a popular delicacy.
The people who came to the island brought the cats over and started breeding them.
The kakapo, which were naturally soft and harmless, would only lower their heads and play dumb when they encountered wild cats. Naturally, their numbers were decreasing.
By the time humans realized this, there were only a few dozen Kakapo left in the world.
Even though there were now about 200 of them bred with human intervention, due to many inbreeding, the various bodily functions of the artificially bred kakapo were far inferior to those of the wild kakapo. It could already be considered a functional extinction.
Many people said that if the Kakapo could evolve a little to resist the enemy, it would not go extinct. It was because nature wanted to eliminate this species.
However, from another perspective, if it were not for the wanton hunting by humans and the invasion of foreign species, the Kakapo would not have been in such a miserable situation today.”
After Lu Chen finished speaking, everyone in the live broadcast room fell silent.
"Alright, let's not scare this cute little guy anymore. Let's continue walking.”
After saying that, Lu Chen stood up and carried Xiao Xuefeng in his arms. Then, he continued walking towards the forest.
However, after taking a few steps, Lu Chen heard a rustling sound behind him.
？
Lu Chen turned around and saw that the Kakapo was still lying on the ground.
However, the distance between them had moved forward by one section.
Lu Chen continued to walk forward, and the rustling sound rang out again.
When he turned back, he saw that it was still lying on the ground, but the distance between them had moved forward.
Lu Chen was amused by its behavior.
Why, do you want a human version of stalking?？
