Chapter 330

Soon, Xiao Yi and his group descended from the hill, and at this moment, Xiao Yi naturally spotted the sixth rescue team far away.

Xiao Yi had no doubt that the sixth rescue team could get ahead of him—they simply didn’t operate on the same level of transportation.

“Mmm! Mmm!”

But just then, the lynx kitten let out two soft cries.

Then it looked up at the female rough-legged buzzard still gliding through the sky.

Clearly, after descending the hill, the little lynx felt much safer.

After all, on flat ground, this creature had far less fear of the rough-legged buzzard.

So its vigilance toward the buzzard still circling overhead was greatly reduced, and even its growls sounded noticeably more relaxed.

Xiao Yi, naturally, saw this scene and couldn’t help but smile softly.

Keeping this little thing constantly alert was part of its special training—and the female buzzard’s arrival was perfectly timed.

After glancing at the sky, Xiao Yi no longer felt like continuing forward; instead, he began piling snow into a wind barrier with his pot.

The rough-legged buzzard tied to Xiao Yi was also let out and dropped onto the ground for some air, though its wings remained bound.

Of course, this buzzard had gained a small measure of freedom under Xiao Yi’s care.

The female buzzard in the sky, upon seeing this scene, landed as well.

Then it circled around the bound buzzard, chirping incessantly.

Afterward, the female buzzard tried pecking at the rope tied to the bound buzzard’s wings.

“Mmm! Mmm!”

But Xiao Yi didn’t need to worry about this minor issue—whenever the female buzzard made a move, the lynx kitten would rush over and growl warnings.

Seeing this, the female buzzard immediately abandoned its pecking, watching the meddling lynx kitten with caution, even adopting a defensive posture.

After all, on the ground, the buzzard might truly lose a fight against the lynx kitten.

Of course, the reason this buzzard dared act this way now was that Xiao Yi had released the female buzzard, indirectly giving it more courage.

At the very least, it was no longer terribly afraid of Xiao Yi—after all, if Xiao Yi wanted to kill it, he wouldn’t have let it go, and naturally, it wouldn’t fear the lynx kitten either.

As for the bound buzzard, already half-bald, upon seeing the lynx kitten’s behavior, couldn’t help but cry out and charge at it.

This buzzard held deep hatred for the lynx kitten and had always wanted to hunt it down.

On flat ground, even a bound buzzard, if the lynx kitten focused fully, could be faced without fear—let alone one that could still fly.

Afterward, the buzzard kept attacking the lynx kitten, but its bound wings made every movement clumsy, its former combat prowess long gone.

The lynx kitten effortlessly dodged every strike and occasionally swatted it with its paws as punishment.

The female buzzard, naturally, couldn’t stand this sight and wanted to rush in to help.

But before it could move, the lynx kitten dashed to Xiao Yi’s side.

Clearly, the little thing knew it couldn’t fight two at once.

Seeing this, the female buzzard could only let out an angry “chirp!”

Though it no longer feared Xiao Yi as much as before, it still didn’t dare hunt the lynx kitten right in front of him.

So every time the lynx kitten ran to Xiao Yi’s side, the female buzzard had to back down.

What could it do? After all, the lynx kitten was acting shamelessly.

Moreover, the female buzzard couldn’t be sure whether Xiao Yi would intervene if it dared hunt the lynx kitten near him.

Of course, what annoyed both buzzards most was that the lynx kitten, seeing they dared not attack it near Xiao Yi, became even more brazen.

It deliberately provoked the bound buzzard, and whenever both buzzards tried to retaliate, the lynx kitten dashed back to Xiao Yi’s side.

Back and forth, the little creature pulled this sneaky trick three or four times, leaving both buzzards utterly powerless.

Xiao Yi naturally noticed this scene but paid it little mind.

Compared to the two buzzards, he felt closer to the lynx kitten—so if this little thing was using its wits to make the buzzards suffer, Xiao Yi had no reason to interfere.

Xiao Yi then sped up building his snow wind barrier, as he still needed to set up a tent.

To be honest, today brought bad news—the temperature had dropped further, and the wind had grown stronger, both things Xiao Yi disliked.

But the lynx kitten’s antics made viewers in the livestream chat burst into laughter.

“Oh my! The lynx kitten finally got smart!”

“Hahaha, those two buzzards are so helpless!”

“If Xiao Shen weren’t here, those two buzzards would probably risk their lives to hunt the lynx kitten!”

“Forget the buzzards—even if you were in their place, you couldn’t take this humiliation!”

“The lynx kitten did great this time! That buzzard actually scared off the Arctic fox!”

“Hahaha, my lynx kitten’s signature move hasn’t been forgotten—is there any trick better than ‘using a human as a shield’?”

“Lynx kitten, just do lynx things! Haha, but I like it now!”

“Poor buzzards! I actually like both of them!”

“Yeah, poor buzzards!”

…

…

At this moment, the livestream chat was most focused on the lynx kitten’s brazen use of Xiao Yi’s protection—though its behavior seemed sneaky, many viewers admitted they liked it.

And this wasn’t the first time the little thing had done this—it was practically second nature.

As for the bound buzzard, it had now given up trying to tear the rope from its wings.

What could it do? The lynx kitten acted like a dog—whenever the two buzzards tried to bite the rope, it would rush over to harass them; whenever they stopped, it ignored them.

Meanwhile, the sixth rescue team, watching from afar, were utterly astonished by Xiao Yi’s setup.

“Captain, what are those two big birds? When did Xiao Shen catch two more?”

Shen Meng, upon hearing this, rolled his eyes—he had no idea.

But inwardly, he was stunned—just a few hills away, Xiao Yi had gained yet another new acquisition.
