Chapter 326: Should I Put Them in the Pot?

“Chirp! Chirp!”

At this moment, Xiao Yi walked over with a rope and tied the feet of the two rough-legged buzzards.

At this moment, the two rough-legged buzzards also woke up, but soon emitted weak, plaintive cries.

Seeing this, Xiao Yi paid no attention—these two rough-legged buzzards had no ability to resist at all.

After securing both buzzards, Xiao Yi directly picked them up with his wooden spear and walked toward the lynx kitten.

“Mmm… mmm…”

“Mmm!”

When Xiao Yi arrived beside the little creature, the lynx kitten was howling in pain.

But when it saw the two rough-legged buzzards on Xiao Yi’s back, its howling instantly stopped.

It then growled fiercely at the two buzzards hanging from the spear—clearly, this little thing held a grudge.

“Chirp! Chirp!”

At this moment, the rough-legged buzzard whose head feathers had been plucked by the lynx kitten also began to shriek fiercely.

That buzzard could still feel the cold draft on its scalp!

Enemies meeting again are bound to flare up with rage!

Yes, it had been captured by humans, but that didn’t mean it feared this little lynx that nearly became its prey.

Without the human before it, this little lynx might already have become its meal.

Of course, the lynx kitten itself was equally resentful—if it hadn’t slid down that snow slope and lost control of its body, it would never have been so easily dragged into the air by this clumsy bird.

At this moment, Xiao Yi couldn’t help but smile, then muttered to the lynx kitten.

“Good, you’ve grown!”

This battle left the little creature badly injured, but the lynx kitten had become far more ferocious since then.

Unlike before, when it was just a cute little brawler, now it finally looked like a true wild predator.

Seeing this little thing grow was enough—Xiao Yi was genuinely pleased.

Then, ignoring the two creatures’ “insults,” Xiao Yi picked up the lynx kitten and walked toward the reindeer.

“Oooh! Oooh!”

Seeing Xiao Yi arrive, the herd merely glanced at the buzzards hanging from the spear, then let out two calls and paid no further attention.

Perhaps those two calls were more like mockery—why pick on anyone else, but this human?

Afterwards, Xiao Yi began surveying the surroundings and found a flat area between the mountain and the nearby hill to set up camp.

With the harassment from these two buzzards behind him, Xiao Yi’s journey for today could end here.

Of course, even without these two large birds bothering him, Xiao Yi had no intention of continuing forward.

When Xiao Yi reached the summit, he had observed from above—crossing this small mountain range would require him to climb at least two more hills.

Although the two hills ahead were only two or three hundred meters high, they would still take some time to cross.

Moreover, the two hills ahead differed from the mountain he had just crossed.

This mountain was bare rock, with no obstacles on the ascent or descent, while the two hills ahead were covered in coniferous forest.

So crossing the hills might be even more troublesome than climbing the current rock mountain, since no one knew what surprises lurked in the coniferous forest.

“Chirp! Chirp!”

At this moment, the two rough-legged buzzards struggled fiercely—they were now fully awake.

But no matter how hard they struggled, they could only be hung upside down by Xiao Yi.

When Xiao Yi tied them up, he had considered their sharp talons and beaks—escape was impossible.

At this moment, Xiao Yi paid no attention to the two creatures and began building a new shelter.

Today, Xiao Yi did not use snow to build walls, mainly because he was nestled between several hills, where the wind was not strong.

Soon, Xiao Yi finished setting up the tent, then carried the lynx kitten inside.

“Mmm! Mmm!”

In Xiao Yi’s arms, the lynx kitten began whimpering again—its voice carried a hint of grievance.

At this moment, Xiao Yi also brought over the remaining clubmoss and Arctic willow.

These were leftovers from when he treated Heidan, and this time, Xiao Yi had brought them all along just in case.

Today they were finally useful—with the Arctic willow and clubmoss, the little creature’s minor wounds would heal in two or three days.

“Mmm! Mmm!”

Feeling the coolness on its body, the little creature let out contented whimpers.

Watching the lynx kitten’s blissful expression, Xiao Yi gently stroked its small head.

Given how hard this little thing fought the buzzards today, it deserved a proper reward.

Then Xiao Yi stood up and walked outside, found the dry firewood on the sled, and started a fire to boil a pot.

Throughout his journey, Xiao Yi had deliberately stockpiled dry wood, so his supply of dry wood and sedge grass had never dwindled—he always gathered wet wood and dried it beside the fire.

Soon the fire boiled, and Xiao Yi slowly walked toward the two buzzards.

“Chirp! Chirp!”

Seeing Xiao Yi approach, the two buzzards, who had just grown tired from crying, suddenly panicked again.

Although the buzzards were terrified, viewers in Xiao Yi’s livestream were thrilled.

“Is Xiao Shen planning to cook these two rough-legged buzzards?”

“Haha! Another new wild delicacy to add to Xiao Shen’s menu!”

“To be honest, I’d love to taste what rough-legged buzzard meat is like—I’m curious!”

Weicheng Wildlife Protection Association: “Rough-legged buzzards, also known as feather-footed buzzards or snow leopards, are a Class II protected species in our country.”

Lincity Public Security Bureau: “When this topic comes up, I must make my presence known!”

Rongcheng Public Security Bureau: “I heard mentioning handcuffs in Xiao Shen’s livestream gains followers? Please help me hit follow.”

……

……

“Haha, are the authorities always this punctual?”

“Sigh! I’ve said it before—don’t mention eating wild game in Xiao Shen’s livestream. Many brothers have already been written down by the cops.”

“Right, just watch Xiao Shen eat quietly!”

……

……

While the livestream was buzzing about wild game, Xiao Yi was staring at the two buzzards, deep in thought.

Should I put these two buzzards in the pot?

After staring for a while longer, Xiao Yi still chose to walk away and headed toward the sled, where he kept the reindeer meat.

In the end, Xiao Yi decided to spare the two buzzards for now.

Of course, part of his reason for sparing them was to try training them.

After all, Xiao Yi still had a soft spot for birds—especially large ones?

Another reason was that the two birds weren’t very big—surely they’d fit in one pot.

In other words, their meat was too little, and Xiao Yi found it unappealing.

“Chirp! Chirp!”

Seeing Xiao Yi leave, the two buzzards couldn’t help but cry out again—but this time, their calls carried obvious relief.

Just moments ago, the two buzzards truly believed they were about to be cooked.
