Chapter 661 - 282: Discovering Raptors_3
"Uh, after seeing the reminder from pals in the live chat, I’m having second thoughts. There are quite a few squirrels around here, but not many with substantial food stores—must be a rather old, experienced individual."
"If it gets knocked out of the fight for survival just because of our bad luck in taking its food reserves, that would indeed be a shame. So here’s the plan, we’ll leave everything else in the granary untouched, and only take the mushrooms back with us.
"Tonight, we’ll make a mushroom soup and reprocess the bear paw we didn’t finish at lunch using the fresh flavor of the mushrooms."
Having made up his mind, Lin Yang didn’t wreak havoc; he just plucked the mushrooms from one side of the nest and stuffed them into his pocket before climbing down the tree.
No sooner had he landed than the urgent chirping of a squirrel came from afar. The little guy was a very pretty, adult male Arctic squirrel, with its cheek pouches stuffed full of something, now hopping up and down frantically on another tree—no need to say, it had noticed the unwelcome guest in its granary.
Lin Yang: "Lucky you, I’m out of here."
Stumbling upon a dozen or so mushrooms had put him in a great mood, and he hummed a tune on his way back to camp.
Just walking along, suddenly a rustling burst from the bushes with a loud flapping of wings, and a bird-like creature, too quick to see clearly, took off from his feet and flew straight into the distance.
Lin Yang was startled by the noise and instinctively looked up.
There are no wild chickens in this area, but there are Thunderbirds, which are similar in size to chickens. If he wasn’t mistaken, the one that had just flown away was a Thunderbird.
The drone’s camera caught the sudden movement and followed with its lens.
