Chapter 328

After that, Xiao Yi stopped paying attention to the lynx kitten and began packing up the tent.

Then he lit a fire to cook, and Xiao Yi’s journey would continue—today’s task was simply to cross the two mounds blocking his path.

Once he crossed those two mounds, a flat expanse awaited him!

“Mmm! Mmm!”

“Chirp! Chirp!”

“Little thing, come back!”

After the meat was cooked, Xiao Yi set the rough-legged hawk down, but still tied its wings shut to prevent it from fleeing outright.

Yet, as soon as Xiao Yi set the rough-legged hawk down, the lynx kitten lunged toward it, ready to attack.

The rough-legged hawk, its wings still bound, naturally panicked.

Clearly, the hawk knew its own limitations—it understood it stood no chance against the lynx kitten while bound.

Fortunately, Xiao Yi called the kitten back just as it moved; otherwise, the hawk might have lost all its remaining feathers today.

“Mmm! Mmm!”

Hearing Xiao Yi’s call, the lynx kitten huffed twice in displeasure, but obediently trotted back.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yi picked up a piece of meat and tossed it toward the lynx kitten.

Although the special training for the lynx kitten would continue, Xiao Yi decided to spare it from hunger for now, given its current injuries.

Seeing the deer meat Xiao Yi tossed, the lynx kitten’s displeasure vanished instantly.

Then Xiao Yi picked up another piece of deer meat and walked over to the rough-legged hawk, tossing it down before the bird.

Seeing the deer meat thrown toward it, the rough-legged hawk eyed Xiao Yi warily—though it was starving, its suspicion of him remained undimmed.

As for Xiao Yi, he simply tossed the meat there and then ignored the foolish bird entirely.

If he truly meant to kill it, wouldn’t the clumsy bird have flown away yesterday?

After Xiao Yi finished packing everything and prepared to depart, the rough-legged hawk finally couldn’t resist the food’s lure and ate the piece of deer meat he’d thrown.

Seeing this, Xiao Yi couldn’t help but smile—even the most stubborn creatures in this wilderness couldn’t resist the temptation of food.

He then picked up his wooden spear, lifted the rough-legged hawk again, and placed it onto another sled.

“Let’s go…”

Xiao Yi climbed onto the sled and slapped the reindeer ahead.

Hearing Xiao Yi’s command, the reindeer began slowly moving toward the hill ahead.

But this time, their pace slowed further—the hill ahead was steeper than the one they’d just crossed.

Even so, the reindeer’s steps remained steady; with no path on the hill, it would have to find its own way forward.

“Aow! Aow!”

But shortly after Xiao Yi’s group set out, a harsh cry suddenly rang out.

Following the sound, Xiao Yi saw two adorable little creatures.

If anyone were the beauty icon of this Arctic region, besides Xiao Yi himself, it would be these two creatures now curiously observing his party.

Not long after they set out, Xiao Yi spotted two Arctic foxes on the hill.

Pure white and stunningly beautiful—if there truly were a Daji, she must have evolved from a fox like this.

But then again, the foxes’ cries were truly grating; clearly, heaven opens one door for every creature but closes another.

Seeing this, netizens in the live stream were all thrilled.

“Finally saw Arctic foxes again! Xiao Shen was right to go out!”

“Arctic foxes are so cute and beautiful—I want to raise one!”

“Pure white like a holy fox—so gorgeous.”

“Xiao Shen, why not raise these two Arctic foxes?”

“Suddenly I don’t care about the lynx kitten anymore—what do I do?”

Lynx kitten “...”

“Seeing Arctic foxes makes me want to travel to the Arctic again!”

“These two foxes seem so timid!”

“Foxes, your chance to change your fox destiny has arrived—see that human? Stick to him!”

…

…

Clearly, the live stream’s netizens had all been conquered by the two Arctic foxes’ looks.

After all, whether in human society or the animal world, who isn’t a sucker for beauty?

At this moment, the live stream’s comment section was flooded with praise for the two Arctic foxes.

Meanwhile, the two Arctic foxes looked somewhat dazed and adorably clueless—after watching Xiao Yi leave, they followed behind him.

Clearly, these two Arctic foxes had never seen humans before; otherwise, they wouldn’t dare follow Xiao Yi so boldly.

More likely, though, they were drawn by the scent of deer meat on his sled.

“Chirp! Chirp!”

But at that moment, a cry made the two Arctic foxes instantly hide.

Naturally, the cry had come from the rough-legged hawk, which Xiao Yi had placed on the other sled.

Clearly, the rough-legged hawk had also caught the scent of the Arctic foxes.

Though Arctic foxes weren’t the hawk’s primary prey, they were still on its menu.

Hearing the hawk’s cry, how could the two Arctic foxes not panic?

Seeing this, Xiao Yi couldn’t help but smile. He ignored the frightened foxes and slapped the reindeer to keep moving.

Feeling the pressure on its rump, the reindeer pulling Xiao Yi quickened its pace slightly.

But many female netizens were displeased by the rough-legged hawk’s act of scaring the Arctic foxes.

The hawk itself probably hadn’t expected that yesterday, Xiao Yi’s viewers had adored it—calling it handsome, majestic.

Today, after it scared the foxes, opinions flipped entirely; some netizens even suggested boiling the hawk right away!

Of course, most male netizens still supported the seemingly majestic hawk.

But their support wasn’t obvious now, because the hawk’s head feathers had all been plucked by the lynx kitten—its majestic image was ruined.

Of course, all this was happening in the live stream; Xiao Yi himself simply kept moving forward.

Yet after being startled, the two Arctic foxes resumed following Xiao Yi—they’d realized the threatening hawk was restrained, so their courage returned.

“Mmm! Mmm!”

But the foxes’ following annoyed the lynx kitten nestled in Xiao Yi’s arms.

Yet the lynx kitten’s intimidation clearly didn’t match the hawk’s.

The two Arctic foxes had already noticed the lynx kitten—if it were an adult lynx, they would have fled immediately.
