After resting in the tribe with Aze for a while, Chen Qi put the task of going out to catch live animals on the agenda. This time, the destination was a bit far away, so they would probably need to spend a night out on the plains. Several people went along.<\/span><\/p>

The area they were heading to was a snow goose habitat. It wasn\u2019t near the Chishui River, and the terrain was slightly higher than other places. Probably because it wasn\u2019t near a water source, no large carnivores appeared nearby. Every time the snow geese returned from migration, this was a good place for them to hatch their eggs.<\/span><\/p>

The group quietly lay in a patch of grass, observing the snow geese. It was still early, and a group of geese had just gone out to forage, but another goose remained behind at each nest, standing guard. Summer had been underway for a while, and winged birds returned earlier than other animals. The goose eggs were now almost ready to hatch.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cAre we catching them alive, or shooting them directly?\u201d Ashu asked, running his fingers over his wooden bow, his eyes gleaming with excitement. This was his first time participating in a bird-catching mission. Before bows and arrows, winged birds had been extremely difficult prey for the beastmen. Their feathers weren\u2019t as easy to strip as those of mammals, and the meat yield was small. So, unless they had no other options, beastmen rarely bothered hunting birds.<\/span><\/p>

Chen Qi scanned the area. The snow goose habitat was vast. Although the nests on the periphery were spaced out, the number of birds in sight was still considerable. While they didn\u2019t look threatening like other carnivores, a battle with a flock of geese could leave the hunters with nothing but scratches.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cLet\u2019s approach slowly and try not to alert too many geese,\u201d Chen Qi instructed.<\/span><\/p>

Their main goal this time was to steal the eggs that were about to hatch. Adult snow geese could be caught alive if possible; if not, they would hunt a few for food.<\/span><\/p>

The group spread out. They had some experience from catching red-billed sparrows in the tribe. Besides their bows, everyone carried a long net made from tough woven rope\u2014strong enough that once a snow goose was trapped inside, there was no chance of escape.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cStay behind me,\u201d Aze said, taking Chen Qi\u2019s wrist and keeping him protected behind himself. He crouched low, using the grass for cover, and crept towards the nearest nest.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

In addition to the beastmen, several wild foxes had also set their sights on the snow-white eggs. The foxes were smaller than the adult geese and hid on the far side of the grass, completely unaware of the beastmen.<\/span><\/p>

The foxes crept closer to their target. One suddenly pounced on an adult goose sitting on its eggs, trying to bite its neck with sharp teeth.<\/span><\/p>

The snow goose was highly alert. As the fox attacked, it suddenly spread its wings and stood tall, its massive wings flinging the small fox to the ground. The fox tumbled several times, then steadied itself without injury.<\/span><\/p>

The goose spread its wings over the eggs behind it, angered by the fox\u2019s attack. Its sharp beak aimed at the predator, ready to strike if the fox tried to jump again.<\/span><\/p>

A few other geese sitting on nearby nests had noticed the commotion. They raised their heads and honked, but didn\u2019t come to help. They too, had eggs to protect, and wild foxes usually only stole one or two eggs per nest. Though they despised the foxes, leaving their own nests unguarded would risk losing their eggs to other foxes.<\/span><\/p>

After the wild fox drew the snow goose\u2019s attention, the other two foxes slowly crept up behind. One snatched an egg in its mouth and tried to escape. The snow goose looked back just in time and quickly flapped its wings, flying straight toward them. The fox that had been distracting the goose quietly crept forward, grabbed a snow-white egg, and, without lingering, ran straight into the nearby tall grass.<\/span><\/p>

The other two foxes, having dodged the geese\u2019s attacks, also scattered in different directions. A nest that had contained five or six eggs now had only half left. The goose chased them angrily for a short distance, then sulkily returned. Its mate was out foraging, and if it left the nest again, the remaining eggs would likely be lost.<\/span><\/p>

Aze snapped the neck of the fox that had jumped right in front of him and caught the egg that had fallen from its mouth with his other hand.<\/span><\/p>

The wild fox\u2019s fur was a bit mottled\u2014grayish yellow\u2014and not particularly attractive, but it was smooth and pleasant to the touch. Chen Qi helped pack the dead fox into his backpack and carefully stowed away the intact egg. He smiled, \u201cThe fox\u2019s fur isn\u2019t much to look at, but it should make a good scarf. I\u2019ll make one for you when we get back.\u201d During winter, Aze disliked having his entire body in beast form, leaving his neck uncovered. Chen Qi had suggested several times that he make something to keep it warm, and ultimately decided to make a scarf.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cIf you like fox fur, I\u2019ll hunt some prettier ones for you next time.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

While they were talking, a commotion broke out in the snow goose flock. Chen Qi looked carefully and saw that Ashu had already trapped a snow goose in a net, and Ajing, following behind, was wrapping eggs in animal hides. Nearby stood a majestic giant wolf-god, which prevented the geese from charging directly. The flock began slowly gathering toward them, their loud calls spreading through the group, while some geese began circling overhead.<\/span><\/p>

After the previous attack by the red-billed sparrows, the beastmen were wary of large flocks, especially since these snow geese were dozens of times larger and much stronger than the sparrows. Everyone wanted to finish the battle quickly.<\/span><\/p>

Chen Qi tugged on Aze\u2019s sleeve and pointed in another direction. With Ashu and the little wolf cub drawing the flock\u2019s attention, they could easily approach another nest.<\/span><\/p>

Aze didn\u2019t even need his net. He shot several geese guarding a nest with his bow and arrows, protecting Chen Qi while picking up the eggs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

By the time the distant geese realized what was happening, Aze had collected the injured birds and carried Chen Qi out of the area, even catching a live one in a net before leaving.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cOw, ow, ow\u2026 Ajing, are you okay?\u201d Ashu\u2019s head was surrounded by what looked like a thick cloud of geese swooping down. His net was useless, and even after shifting into beast form to try to fight them off, the geese were far more agile than he anticipated. He barely caused any damage and ended up with several scratches on his hands and face.<\/span><\/p>

The little wolf cub stayed close to Ajing, shielding him from the enraged flock. Fortunately, after molting, the wolf\u2019s skin had thickened, so aside from some ruffled fur, it remained uninjured.<\/span><\/p>

Ajing slung the hide backpack full of eggs over his back, picked up the few geese the little wolf cub had bitten, and patted its back. The cub understood the signal, sweeping its massive tail forward to push the flock back, then followed Ajing in retreat.<\/span><\/p>

As he ran, Ajing called to Ashu, still surrounded by geese, \u201cLet\u2019s go!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Ashu, surprised at how swiftly Ajing and the little wolf cub moved, cursed under his breath and ran after them. He had likely drawn most of the flock\u2019s attention. Only after they had darted through several patches of tall grass were they able to lose the pursuing geese. When they returned to their resting spot from the night before, Chen Qi had already prepared lunch.<\/span><\/p>

Ashu had been planning to complain to Chen Qi about Ajing and the little wolf cub leaving him behind, but at the sight of the food, he completely forgot and happily joined in.<\/span><\/p>

Aze dug a lump of mud from the embers and tossed it to him. Reflexively, Ashu reached for it, only to find it too hot and dropped it with a complaint: \u201cWhy did you throw me a burning stone?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Aze took a steaming bird leg handed by Chen Qi. \u201cThis snow goose is mine. If you want one, go get your own.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cJust move the mud aside,\u201d Chen Qi said, pointing to Ajing, who had already removed another lump by himself. \u201cSee how Ajing did it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Worried about burning himself, Ajing used his bone knife to tap the mud. It cracked, revealing a layer of cattail leaves, and beneath them, golden meat. A gust of wind carried the enticing aroma straight to their noses.<\/span><\/p>

It was Ashu\u2019s first time seeing food prepared this way. Curiously, he looked it over, tore a small piece of snow goose meat, and popped it into his mouth. He couldn\u2019t tell what spices Chen Qi had used, but it was nothing like ordinary roasted or boiled meat\u2014tender and flavorful. He immediately forgot his earlier grudge and joyfully enjoyed the meal, though he silently wished he had hunted a few more geese.<\/span><\/p>

Ake came back only after several people had almost finished their lunch. Behind him hung two huge fur backpacks, one full of bird eggs and the other full of hunted snow geese. On his waist hung several still alive snow geese with their mouths and wings tied.<\/span><\/p>

Ashu gaped in disbelief. \u201cYou weren\u2019t discovered by the geese?\u201d With dozens of nests disturbed, the snow geese would have surely attacked in swarms.<\/span><\/p>

Ake unloaded his gear, tore a bird leg from the snow goose Ashu held, grinned broadly, and said, \u201cThanks to you leading the flock away, it was easy.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cBy the way, Chen Qi, you mentioned wanting to catch some wild horses. I saw a herd on my way back\u2014do you want to catch them?\u201d<\/span><\/p>
