"Damn humans! Damn eagle! I'm going to kill you!"
This was what Chen Wen heard.
As expected, this guy was a special creature with opened intelligence.
But why does it have such strong hostility toward humans and the Golden Eagle?
Chen Wen couldn't quite understand.
He looked at Hua Yun and said, "It's dangerous, the hostility is so strong, let's control it first."
Hua Yun nodded.
The Snowy Owl heard Chen Wen's words and imdiately said, "Don't think of controlling !"
With that, it was about to flap its wings and fly away.
But the lynx, standing on the sled, swatted it down with a paw.
At the sa ti, the lynx emitted a warning cry, "Behave yourself! Newcor!"
The sudden attack from the lynx coupled with the scare...
The Snowy Owl instantly started struggling.
Seeing the situation, Chen Wen picked up an axe and chopped it in front of the Snowy Owl with a crunch.
The splattering snow and frozen earth instantly cald the Snowy Owl down.
A wild animal's pacifier is not just a fire stick.
Chen Wen said no more, he held the Snowy Owl down and took the opportunity to tie its wings at the base with a rope.
"Stay put!"
Seeing the Snowy Owl's deanor, the lynx said proudly.
...
In the morning, while on the road, Chen Wen was pondering why the Snowy Owl had such a large amount of hostility.
Could it have been attacked by humans?
But Chen Wen had checked its wounds before and found no new injuries caused by humans.
Moreover, human attacks are typically fatal.
As a low-defense raptor, once caught by humans, it is as good as dead.
Hating the Golden Eagle, Chen Wen could understand.
After all, it was just fighting for its life with the Golden Eagle, but hating humans seems a bit unreasonable.
Also, from its voice, it seed to be male.
Do male Snowy Owls have a holy nature?
Theoretically, they should; most birds of prey take care of their young together.
Chen Wen asked Hua Yun about the Snowy Owl's situation, as his knowledge about them was limited.
Hua Yun was happy to act as a teacher for Chen Wen, explaining all the information he knew about Snowy Owls.
Soon, Chen Wen had a more comprehensive understanding of the Snowy Owl.
Not long after, it was lunchti.
Because the days were short and Chen Wen and Hua Yun got up late, after breakfast at night, neither of them was hungry, so they didn't eat.
However, the Golden Eagle and the lynx needed to eat a bit, and the reindeer needed to rest and feed as well.
So, Chen Wen and Hua Yun found a secluded spot to rest.
While Hua Yun was away, Chen Wen looked at the Snowy Owl and asked, "When did you start understanding what I say?"
The Snowy Owl grunted and closed its eyes, ignoring Chen Wen.
Alright, alright, seems like a hard nut.
For so reason, Chen Wen suddenly thought of this sentence in his mind.
He thought about it and decided to take the hard approach first.
After all, the gentlest [Animal Doctor] effect was very average; the soft approach definitely wouldn't work.
Thus, he directly placed the axe on the Snowy Owl's back.
The Snowy Owl shivered, opened its eyes, and its yellow eyes flickered with panic beginning to occupy its mind.
"Talk, live; don't talk, die."
Chen Wen said the coldest words in the calst tone.
The Snowy Owl shuddered.
The instinct for survival in its blood made it calm down.
After a brief hesitation, the Snowy Owl said, "In the morning."
Morning?
Chen Wen was stunned for a mont; he did not expect the Snowy Owl's answer.
"Then why were you chasing us?"
"Because humans destroyed my ho!"
Even when facing the axe, the Snowy Owl's words were filled with intense anger.
Destroyed its ho?
To be honest, Chen Wen was a bit bewildered now.
"Have we t before?"
"No."
"Then when did I destroy your ho?"
"It was your humans!"
"There are more humans than just , there are other humans, just like you Snowy Owls, are there only you, a single Snowy Owl?"
"..."
Faced with the Snowy Owl's anger-destroyed reason, Chen Wen couldn't be bothered to deal with it.
This thing is clearly not too bright or maybe too bright.
It regarded all humans as enemies.
"Stay put here, and whenever you understand that not all humans are the sa, you can leave."
Chen Wen casually said, tying the Snowy Owl to the sled to prevent it from harming the Golden Eagle and the lynx.
At this ti, Hua Yun returned.
She looked at the Snowy Owl and asked, "How is it? Can this one be tad?"
She was very interested in taming the Snowy Owl.
Chen Wen shook his head: "Too aggressive, not very smart; it's unlikely, don't bother with it, just let it go once it heals a bit."
"Should we feed it sothing?"
Hua Yun said, preparing to feed the Snowy Owl with Wolf Mink at.
But she was t with a threatening growl from the Snowy Owl.
Alright then, let it starve!
Hua Yun's fascination with the Snowy Owl quickly disappeared; this creature was not as personable as the Golden Eagle.
She reached out and fed the strip of at in her hand to the Golden Eagle.
The Golden Eagle raised its head and bit, directly swallowing the at strip, happily flapping its wings.
...
After resting at noon, the journey continued.
But due to the short days and long nights, their afternoon hiking ti was only about three hours.
After finding a campsite for the night, Chen Wen began to build a shelter.
While building the shelter, Chen Wen and Hua Yun discussed the simplification of the shelter.
This was sothing they had been researching since they started.
While the two were discussing.
The Golden Eagle curiously circled around the Snowy Owl, while the lynx looked at the Snowy Owl, drooling.
"Can this thing be eaten? It should taste good, right?"
The lynx said, its furry large paw already reaching for the Snowy Owl.
"What are you doing!"
Chen Wen saw this and quickly stopped the lynx.
The lynx said with so grievance, "I didn't do anything, and besides, it doesn't want to join us, so might as well let eat it, otherwise, do we have to keep feeding it?"
Chen Wen was speechless.
Eating would be reserved until there's no chance for the Snowy Owl to join.
As long as there's a chance for the Snowy Owl to join, Chen Wen was not willing to kill a special animal.
After all, special animals are quite rare.
However, the lynx's words also made Chen Wen decide to make a decision quickly.
If they kept feeding it and it never joined.
Wouldn't that an his food was wasted?
So he had to see if the Snowy Owl would change its mind soon.
When Hua Yun went out to collect firewood, Chen Wen looked at the Snowy Owl.
He asked slowly, "Have you figured it out yet?"
The Snowy Owl remained silent.
Is it planning to stay tough to the end?
Chen Wen hesitated for a mont and continued, "Maybe you just gained intelligence and your mind is still confused. I'll help you sort out your thoughts for now."
"Humans and Snowy Owls, just like your kind, are a collective term. Just as there are different Snowy Owls, there are different humans. I am not with the humans who destroyed your ho, and I have no obligation to atone for their sins."
"Just like so Snowy Owls will kill Golden Eagles..."
The Golden Eagle flapped its wings and cried out, "What? This little shrimp? Kill ? With one claw..."
Ignoring the Golden Eagle, Chen Wen continued, "You have nothing to do with the Snowy Owl that killed the Golden Eagle. When the Golden Eagle's companions co for revenge, will they co after you or the Snowy Owl that killed the Golden Eagle?"
The Snowy Owl raised its head, its bright yellow eyes flickering with a glimr of confusion.
It seed to understand, but currently, it could grasp that this human was different from the ones who destroyed its ho.
As its wariness dissipated, its affection level slowly increased.
Chen Wen cut the Wolf Mink at into strips and placed it on the sled: "Eat this al, if you want to leave, you can; if not, you're welco to stay and form a new family, just like those two over there, you should recognize them, right?"
"In short, I'm leaving the choice to you."
Chen Wen said, carefully undoing the bindings on the Snowy Owl's wings.
