This way, we know that the arrival time of these two creatures is no more than 12 days ago, but certainly more than 6 days.
Again, they appeared directly underground on the Sky Island, which means inside it.
Ten days ago, there was an incident where Funa and the others were thrown off the Sky Island, the cause being that they pressed an unknown button within some ruins.
Later, after getting a little familiar with Kane and the others, they talked about this incident while chatting, but Kane and the others didn't pay much attention to it.
Now, after encountering these two strange creatures and noticing the timing overlap, Kane began to take it seriously.
It's not that rare for there to be ruins on the Sky Island. After hundreds of years, these places have long been thoroughly explored.
So Funa and the others were just curious and took a stroll inside, pressing the button lightly without much mental burden.
After all, it has been pressed countless times, but the moment they pressed it, they were indeed thrown straight out of the outskirts of the Sky Island.
It seems to have triggered some kind of mechanism.
However, this process didn't hurt them; they were just simply thrown out and forcibly fell downward, covered by a protective film during the fall, making it more like an emergency descent.
And since they had already completed their objectives, they didn't think much of it.
Things like these already comprehended traps that do not harm the Explorers are often concealed for pranking others coming later.
Although Kane discovered some slightly useful information, to gather more, it's necessary to enter the ruins or the place where these two eggs emerged to examine it carefully.
Kreya, who was standing next to him, saw Kane lost in thought for so long and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong, Kane? Did you discover something?"
Kane nodded, "I found some information, but it's not complete yet. Maybe we will discover more in the ruins later."
"Should we go to the ruins now?" Kreya asked.
"No rush," Kane shook his head, "Remember Funa's encounter? Let's capture the task objectives first before heading into the ruins."
After saying this, Kane turned to Lirulu and said, "Since you can communicate with those two eggs, I'll leave them to you. No problem, right?"
Upon hearing Kane's words, Lirulu immediately stood up straight, saluted, and said, "Yes, Officer Cain!"
Seeing Lirulu's action, Kane helplessly rubbed his forehead and sighed.
Kreya covered her mouth beside him, stifling a laugh.
"Now let's follow the original plan to wander around this Sky Island, and then complete the task objective capture," Kane said.
After speaking, Kane led the team forward again, while the two eggs flapped their wings, following behind Lirulu, occasionally exchanging signal waves between the three creatures.
They seemed to be chatting.
The area of the Sky Island wasn't very large, but besides birds, most creatures living on it had the ability to float.
These creatures either had a pair of wings behind them or could float or fly briefly using various organs or Magic Ability.
Like the one Kane held in his hands now, an animal that resembles a squirrel.
This squirrel had pure white fur, looking very beautiful, but it didn't use its limbs as flying squirrels do to fly; instead, it relied on its enormous tail.
Its tail could rapidly inflate to a size four or five times larger than its body.
The inflated tail was filled with gas that allowed it to float. This way, it could remain suspended in the air for a long time, then use some sort of magic to control its flight and steering.
The reason such a small creature got caught by Kane was not for eating, but because its appearance was extremely lovely, catching Lirulu's interest.
This was already the sixth squirrel Kane had captured.
He stuffed the squirrel into Lirulu's world, "How about now? Enough? Should I catch more?"
After enlightening the squirrel, Lirulu nodded and said, "Enough, enough, no need to catch more."
Kane nodded, noticing that they were nearing the end of the island, looking ahead, he could vaguely see the far edge.
They hadn't been wandering for more than three hours, and this was while not rushing and leisurely exploring the whole island.
It indeed verified that the size of this Sky Island was not large.
They got to the island's edge.
"This Flying Wing Hunter hides quite well, we circled around but haven't spotted its track," Kane said with some emotion standing at the island's edge.
"What are you eating?" Kane asked, seeing Lirulu munching beside him.
Lirulu kept chewing without answering Kane; instead, she pointed to a light pink cloud drifting past them.
Kane only glanced briefly and was about to make a move when Longbei jumped up and grabbed a handful from the passing cloud.
Smelling the cloud bundle in his hand, Longbei then stuffed it into his mouth.
Chewing for a while, he said, "It's strawberry-flavored cotton candy, tastes good."
Hearing Longbei's words, Kane tore a piece from a green-tinted cloud passing on his other side and stuffed it into his mouth, which was green apple-flavored cotton candy.
Turns out, these clouds truly were Cotton Candy, causing Kane to look up at the nearby floating cotton candy clouds.
Uh oh, that guy turned into a fake.
Since there was ample space in her Golden Space Equipment, Kreya did not hold back and grabbed different colored clouds stuffing them inside.
Such sweet treats were always welcomed by Kreya.
Having not found their target after wandering around, Kane no longer dawdled and swapped his skills.
A Silver Compass appeared in his hand.
In his mind, he began labeling and profiling the target.
Yet the compass needle kept spinning around, not pointing to a fixed target.
This indicated there were many Flying Wing Hunters on the island.
After some thinking, Kane decided to narrow it down to a male one, but the needle still spun, albeit with a reduced rotation frequency, implying there were fewer targets but still multiple ones.
He pondered a bit and adjusted it to a female with a baby.
Perhaps this way, they might catch not just one but a couple of cubs since these creatures were not only beautiful but had considerable strength, perfect for bringing into Lirulu's Fairy Tale World.
This time, the compass pointer finally stabilized, pointing in one direction.
Kane waved to his teammates, who were indulging in the cotton candy clouds, "Let's go, I've found the target's position."
Upon hearing Kane's words, Kreya and the rest stopped what they were doing and began following him towards the direction indicated by the compass.
By now, the sky had turned crimson, nearing twilight.
The needle was not pointing constantly in one direction; it kept veering left and right, indicating the target was moving and not resting.
Watching the compass needle keep turning left and right, Kane realized they had walked many unnecessary paths, prompting him to pause.
Looking at the now almost tranquil evening sky, recognizing from the Flying Wing Hunter's appearance that it might resemble a feline creature, maybe nighttime was its hunting period.
Perhaps it ran across the island all night, hunting food.
Thinking this over, Kane said, "Let's camp, and wait till morning to follow the pointer. Nighttime seems to be its hunting time."
Upon hearing Kane's words, no one voiced any objections. Another night or less wouldn't make a significant difference.
Finding a suitable spot, Kane began setting up a wooden cabin for camping.
