Chapter 114: If It’s Not an Eagle, Then What Is It?

The next morning, Mr. Chu was awakened by an itch on his face.

When she opened her eyes, she saw Xiaoyan'er's butt facing her face, moving back and forth on her body.

"Stop making trouble and get up."

Before he could finish his words, Chu Qiao felt a pain in his chest.

Xiaoyan'er was instantly picked up by Chu Qiao and thrown onto the backpack on the side.

Chu Qiao lowered his head to look at his chest. There was a small red tooth mark on it. Chu Qiao pointed at Xiao'er's eyes and said, "You little bastard, you're ungrateful."

Chu Qiao was so excited that he didn't notice that the netizens in the live broadcast room were watching the fun.

Brother Feng: "Master Chu, be careful not to expose yourself."

Chu Qiao was stunned and immediately pulled up his collar to cover his fair skin.

Seeing that there was no more fun to watch, the netizens in the live broadcast room turned their attention to Xiaoyan'er, only to see that Xiaoyan'er looked aggrieved and looked at Chu Qiao with tears in her eyes.

"Oh my god, this is so cute."

"My heart is melting."

"Don't be mean to our little eye, it didn't mean it."

"Um... Xiaoyan'er, are you...hungry?"

"That's right, our little Yan'er is still a little leopard cub and wants to drink his mother's milk."

Chu Qiao rolled his eyes: "I don't have any."

Brother Feng burst into laughter while lying on the table, and shouted, "Master Chu, you have it."

Fortunately, these words were spoken to the air, otherwise Brother Feng might have been hit hard by Chu Qiao.

Chu Qiao didn't continue the topic. She touched the little snow leopard's belly. The little guy's chest was pressed against his back. Chu Qiao said helplessly: "You are right. This guy is really hungry."

Xiaoyan'er probably couldn't stand the cold anymore, and crawled back into Chu Qiao's arms with a look of grievance.

Chu Qiao stood up, put away his parachute, and packed his backpack.

She said to the drone, "It's not his fault, actually. Snow leopards like him who haven't given birth to me really need their mother's breast milk. Usually, snow leopards in zoos are fed with formula milk for at least a month after being abandoned by their mothers. But we're in the snowy mountains right now, so we don't have that."

"I hope Xiaoyaner won't starve to death."

"Ooo ...

"Master Chu, please find a solution quickly."

Chu Qiao said, "Adult snow leopards' favorite foods are goats and rabbits. I'll see if there's a chance I can catch some."

"Can it be eaten? Isn't it still small?"

Chu Qiao: "Even if you can't eat it, you have to eat it. We'll try our best to save the dying horse."

After Chu Qiao finished speaking, he quickly packed up his parachute, put on his backpack, and walked towards the other side of the ice lake.

As I walked, I ate the leftover fish from yesterday, and the wind went into my stomach along with the fish.

The little eyes were hidden tightly, and even the head refused to show out.

Its soft fur rubbed against Chu Qiao's neck from time to time, and was warmed by its body temperature.

Chu Qiao walked cautiously on the ice and said, "I saw eagles circling across the icy lake yesterday. I figured there might be food they like there, so I'll go over and try my luck."

It was more than an hour later when Chu Qiao reached the other side. At this time, the little snow leopard began to suck the skin on her chest again. The strength of a snow leopard is not comparable to that of a cat, even if it is just an underage leopard.

Although Chu Qiao could bear this little pain, she still screamed exaggeratedly: "Ah, it hurts."

The little snow leopard stopped moving, stretched out its head and looked at Chu Qiao, only to see that Chu Qiao's face was full of pain.

It tilted its head and was stunned for a long time before slowly crawling into my arms again. This time it stayed there obediently.

"What's this trick, Master Chu?"

Chu Qiao: "Different species have different ways of expressing emotions and behaving, so I have to let her know what actions will make me uncomfortable and hurt me, so that she will know when to stop."

"My cat has no sense of propriety. I'm going to go back and give it a lesson."

"My dog ​​does the same. Thanks to Master Chu for teaching me."

Chu Qiao continued, "But this has to be based on mutual trust. If you often beat or scold your pets, I'm afraid that just yelling at them like this will give them the pleasure of revenge, and they'll never tire of it."

"Oh my god, these little animals have so many tricks up their sleeves."

"The human mind is vicious."

"No matter what, Master Chu is an expert in animal psychology, there's no doubt about it."

Chu Qiao shook her head. She was not an expert in zoology. She just had some experience because she had to carry out the mission of genetic recombination of animals on Mars and had seen many animals.

But Chu Qiao didn't want to recall those experiences, in which many strange-looking animals were put together and then ruthlessly killed.

Netizens found it strange that Chu Qiao suddenly became silent and his face turned pale.

"What happened to Master Chu?"

"What's the danger?"

"Master Chu is so awesome, how could there be any danger?"

Everyone started asking questions. Chu Qiao just opened his mouth to explain when suddenly a scream came from the sky.

Chu Qiao squinted his eyes and looked up at the sky. Near the halfway point of the mountain, there was a bird that looked like an eagle, but much smaller, circling in the sky.

"Master Chu, what kind of bird is that?"

"An eagle that hasn't grown up yet, what else could it be?"

"No way, why does it look like a head to me?"

"The body doesn't look like one either, to me. This bird is much more delicate than an eagle."

"What do we know, Master Chu, what do you say?"

Chu Qiao raised his hand to block the sunlight and carefully observed this medium-sized bird, which was only about 40 cm in size.

Her head is gray-brown, her body is brown, and there are light to dark horizontal stripes on her tail. The feathers on her monkey head are white, and there are white vertical stripes on her chest. It does look like an eagle cub, but it has gray-brown crown feathers on its head.

Chu Qiao said firmly: "It's not an eagle, it's a crested eagle."

"The Crested Owl, I've never heard of it."

Chu Qiao continued, "The Crested Owl is a medium-sized bird of prey. It generally prefers to live at the foot of mountains below 2,000 meters or in jungle areas. I suspect there must be forest cover on the other side of the mountain. This bird wouldn't live in the snow-capped mountains for a long time."

"Then why did it fly up?"

"Looking for food, what else can I do?"

Chu Qiao followed the crested eagle with his eyes and agreed, "Indeed, it feeds mainly on lizards, snakes, rats, insects, and also birds and small mammals. It usually hides and only attacks when it spots prey. It's so high-profile now, it must have found its target."

Sure enough, the crested eagle kept circling in the southeast direction, as if it had spotted some prey.

Chu Qiao accelerated and ran towards the snow. The little eye hidden in his chest was shaking, and his claws were tightly hooked on Chu Qiao's clothes.

The crested eagle flew lower and lower, and Chu Qiao became more certain that there was something good there.

Chu Qiao's approach made the Crested Eagle feel hostile, and it swooped down towards Chu Qiao. Chu Qiao dodged it and then saw that the Crested Eagle's prey was actually a fat snow rabbit.

Chu Qiao looked at Xiao Yan'er and thought to himself: I'm sorry, this snow rabbit has to belong to me today.
