The game starts with escaping from the famine and flipping the table

In the golden month of October, the weather gradually turns cooler as autumn deepens. A cold current from the west sweeps in like a surging ocean wave, bringing the first snowfall of the year to the boundless and vast grassland.

This snow seemed to come earlier than ever before. In the few days before the heavy snow fell, the autumn wind was bleak and the chill was biting.

The young demoiselle cranes were unable to withstand the sudden cold because their bodies were not yet fully developed. They shivered all over, trying to find a little warmth.

The adult demoiselle cranes were not defeated by the predicament. They stood in an orderly formation in the cold wind, like an indestructible line of defense, firmly guarding the group of weak little cranes behind them.

The entire group of Demoiselle Cranes closely depended on each other and united to face this difficult and dangerous situation together. No matter they were old, weak, sick or young and strong, every crane contributed its own strength and tried its best to survive.

As the cold weather gets worse, the clever demoiselle cranes start to dance gracefully. They gently touch each other's feathers, generating heat through friction to keep warm. This unique way not only allows them to feel the power and warmth of the group, but also demonstrates the infinite wisdom and tenacious vitality of nature's creatures.

In this cruel natural environment, the Demoiselle Cranes successfully survive one cold winter after another by relying on their courage, wisdom and team spirit.

Facts have proved that no matter how great the difficulties are, as long as the ethnic group unites and moves forward courageously, it will be able to overcome all challenges and usher in a bright future.

As the heavy snow approached, the young demoiselle cranes in the flock began to become restless. Each family no longer quietly foraged for food as usual, but instead made "ga ga" sounds from time to time and stared at each other. The young cranes clung to their parents, revealing a hint of fear.

In this tense atmosphere, every crane knows that the time for migration has come. They are about to embark on a long journey to the far south and cross the towering Mount Everest.

The migration is finally about to begin.

The flock of Demoiselle Cranes stood quietly, like a group of silent soldiers, seemingly counting down to the fateful moment - waiting for the departure signal to be issued, just as nervously and expectantly as soldiers waiting for the drum to charge.

Boo!

A loud and high-pitched crane cry was heard, and dozens of huge cranes with strong wings first spread their broad and powerful wings, making passionate and high-pitched cries, and rushed into the sky like an arrow from a bow.

The quietly waiting demoiselle cranes began to flap their wings one after another and fly high into the sky in an orderly manner. Immediately afterwards, the entire flock of cranes seemed to be pushed by an invisible force, like a surging whirlwind, roaring into the sky. They closely followed the figure of the big crane in front of them, charging forward fearlessly, constantly challenging higher altitudes, and resolutely flapping their wings to fly high towards the south...

In the vast sky, the migrating army of hooded cranes is like a gray cloud, moving slowly forward.

When Su Xiaoya saw that the hooded cranes had flown far away, she set off and "flew" quickly towards Mount Everest.

Demoiselle cranes are in the sky.

Su Xiaoya is on the ground.

Both sides moved forward firmly towards Mount Everest, and were mentally prepared for battle. Everyone knew that the road ahead was difficult and no one wanted to give up halfway.

When the vanguard, which was composed entirely of strong adult demoiselle cranes, arrived at a new grassland, the "scouts" had already stopped above the grassland. When they saw the vanguard arrive, they made a special call - this was a signal indicating that the front was safe and they could continue to move forward.

These brave "scouts" shoulder a vital mission. They use their sharp eyes to carefully examine the grasslands, mountains and snow below...

Demoiselle cranes never let anything suspicious pass. They vigilantly search for places where predators or other dangers may be hiding, while also keeping an eye out for the location of food and water sources.

The main force will follow only when the "scouts" confirm that the surrounding environment is safe.

If they find a potential threat, they will not hesitate to send out a sharp alarm call to alert the entire group to avoid or change their route. This high level of alertness and quick response ability ensures the survival and reproduction of the demoiselle crane population.

As for these brave "scouts", they exposed themselves and their life or death depended entirely on God's will.

However, none of these "scouts" are cowards, and none of them desert the battlefield. They are the most loyal guards, protecting the tribe with their lives.

When danger comes, except for the "scouts", all the demoiselle cranes in the vanguard will serve as a solid backing to cover the retreat of the tribe.

Su Xiaoya had only followed them for two days, but she had already developed a deeper respect for the Demoiselle Crane community.

Su Xiaoya didn't know how to fly a sword yet, so she could only "fly" briefly a few meters above the ground. Fortunately, the tenth level of Qi Refining was not too demanding, and she could keep up with the speed of the Demoiselle Crane no matter how rugged and steep the mountain was.

Mount Everest is towering into the clouds and freezing cold, with little oxygen and a harsh climate.

The cranes did not back down. With their tenacious willpower and excellent flying ability, they tried their best to sprint high into the sky. There were many difficulties and dangers along the way, but these brave birds always remained firm in their beliefs and moved forward courageously.

The little crane's wings became extremely heavy, and its physical strength had reached its limit. However, its parents and other adult cranes did not give up. They surrounded the little crane tightly, holding it tightly with their strong claws, and faced the challenges ahead together.

The strong wind raged like a sharp blade, blowing the feathers of each crane wildly. They trembled in the strong wind, but flew forward firmly. Although their bodies were shivering from the cold, their eyes revealed incomparable perseverance and determination.

Not a single crane chose to retreat or give up. They knew that only by persevering could the little cranes reach their destination safely. This selfless love and team spirit was touching.

During this difficult journey, the little crane felt the strength from his family and tribe. They worked together and supported each other, showing their indomitable vitality. No matter how harsh the environment was, it could not shake their will to move forward.

Xiao He insisted that he also had to work hard and not fall behind.

A skinny little crane flapped its wings and tried hard to fly forward, but its strength was gradually exhausted, and its body became heavier and heavier. Every time it flapped its wings, it seemed to have used up all its strength.

It knew that its mother was also exhausted, and if it continued like this, they would not be able to move forward. The little crane was filled with pain and helplessness, and it did not want to be a burden to its mother, and did not want to see her suffer because of it.

At this moment, the little crane made a difficult decision - it suddenly opened its mouth and bit its mother's claws tightly. The mother groaned in pain and released her claws due to physiological reaction.

Instantly, Xiaohe opened his mouth and fell rapidly. The wind whistled past his ears, and Xiaohe closed his eyes tightly, feeling the dizziness brought by the free fall.

Xiao He felt at peace in his heart.

It knew that this might be a relief, at least it would not cause trouble for its mother anymore...

The mother crane wailed and flew down in the direction where the little crane fell. How could she abandon her child? As a mother, she would rather die than save her child's life.

Soon, the mother crane grabbed the little crane's thin legs. She was afraid that the little crane would do the same thing again in order not to drag her, its useless mother, down on her back. So she had no choice but to hold the little crane in her mouth, flapping her wings with difficulty, and trying her best to fly up.

Xiao He's father also flew down at this time.

Carry the little crane on its back.

The mother crane then opened her mouth and let out the last breath in her heart. The whole crane drooped its wings weakly and fell rapidly to the ground, no longer having the strength to flap its wings.

The father crane cried out in grief, but he could only watch helplessly. His dying son was on his back, and he had no way of chasing after him.

The closer they got to Mount Everest, the stronger the wind became and the colder the wind became. He didn't know if he could get his son safely across Mount Everest even if he was carrying him on his back.

But he couldn't give up! His wife had risked her life to protect his son.

A teardrop floats away in the wind.

Su Xiaoya looked at this scene, her nose felt sore, and tears welled up in her eyes. Unable to bear it any longer, she quickly rushed towards the mother Demoiselle Crane who was about to fall, and wrapped her with spiritual power to slowly hold her up.

Su Xiaoya followed and hugged the hooded crane, which had completely exhausted and fainted. She took out the Qiankun small gourd, poured out a drop of spiritual spring water and fed it into the mother crane's mouth.

After just a moment, the mother crane woke up and raised her eyes to look at the delicate face in front of her.

This is - the human race that migrated with them.

Mother Crane felt the warmth in her body and the seemingly endless energy she suddenly possessed, and she felt dazed.

I was saved.

Thinking of being rescued, the mother crane no longer cared about anything else. She immediately flapped her wings, circled around Su Xiaoya three times, let out a loud crane call, and then flapped her wings quickly to catch up with her husband and son.

This is the only precious baby they have left!

During the great migration last year, he went through untold hardships before he was able to successfully cross the towering and majestic Mount Everest with the Demoiselle Crane tribe. The whole journey was full of hardships, and the crane father and mother tried their best to protect their eldest son.

However, when the family of three finally arrived at their destination and landed exhausted on the grass to rest, an unexpected tragedy occurred - just when the eldest son left for a while to drink some water, he was ruthlessly taken away by the ferocious golden eagle that had been drooling over him and eyeing him covetously, and became its food!

Above the vast grassland, the golden eagle spreads its 2.3-meter-wide wings and soars in the sky. It is a world-famous bird of prey, known as the "king of the sky"!

The golden eagle's sharp hooked claws and hard and pointed beak, coupled with its extraordinary flying skills, mean that any creature that dares to challenge its majesty in the air will face a catastrophic disaster; sometimes even the poor lambs in the herdsmen's homes cannot escape becoming their prey.

However, in stark contrast is the Demoiselle Crane, which is the most petite of the 15 crane species!

The body of the Demoiselle Crane is less than one meter long and weighs only three pounds. Because of their slender figure, shy temperament and elegant and dignified behavior, they are like young ladies in the boudoir, so they are also known as the "Lady Crane".

Such a weak and powerless hooded crane, even an adult one, has little chance of resisting or struggling to survive when facing the powerful golden eagle, let alone the fledgling hooded crane that has not yet reached adulthood.

Watching their beloved child die in the eagle's belly, the crane father and mother were heartbroken and grief-stricken, but they were powerless to do anything...

A year has passed, but the pain of losing my son is still vivid in my mind.

Therefore, this year, no matter what, they must do their best to protect this hard-earned little son. Even if it costs a huge price or even sacrifices their own lives, they will not hesitate!

Looking at the mother crane flying away, Su Xiaoya couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth.

It’s so good to be alive!

From that day on, whenever Su Xiaoya saw a hooded crane falling from exhaustion, she would rescue it and give it a sip of space spring water as long as she could save it in time.

Su Xiaoya made a simple calculation and found that she had saved about 2,000 to 3,000 hooded cranes, which was probably one eighth of the hooded cranes migrating this time.

Unfortunately, she was not omnipotent. She was only able to save half of the demoiselle cranes in time.

These rescued hooded cranes all flew around Su Xiaoya three times like the mother crane, and then flapped their wings and flew high to catch up with the flock of cranes.

There are their relatives and their tribes there. No matter how warm it is here in Su Xiaoya, or how sweet the spring water is, they will go back to their tribes and protect their families.

Only by keeping warm together can the Demoiselle Cranes fly over Mount Everest year after year. Each of them is a member of the team, and one more member can provide more strength to resist the cold air.

The Demoiselle Crane chooses to fly across the Himalayas from the northern foothills of the Himalayas, and the journey is fraught with danger.

Due to the high altitude of the mountain, the Demoiselle Crane has to fly to more than 8000 meters. Such a height is difficult to reach by the Demoiselle Crane's own strength, so they need enough updrafts to fly higher.

The formation of the Demoiselle Cranes is changing, sometimes in a straight line, sometimes in a V-shape, and they minimize air resistance by constantly adjusting their formation.

The strongest cranes in the group fly in the front, because the airflow and flight resistance they encounter are the greatest, while the old cranes and young cranes usually stay at the end of the group. Of course, the weaker cranes will have their parents by their side.

That's how it is. Every year, nearly a quarter of the hooded cranes die on their migration routes, most of which are elderly cranes and young cranes.
